Chapter 169: Demon Essence

The Transfiguration also sensed a great threat from the [Twilight Fang], but it knew that within the range of [Dedication], if it insisted on escaping, it would only speed up its death, so he could only set up the Black Flame Sword and wait for it, hoping that those fools would come and save him.

But just as the Transfiguration Demon was concentrating all his energy on the [Twilight Fang] in Jiang Feng's right hand, Jiang Feng suddenly flicked his left hand and threw the [Light Oath Hammer] hidden behind the shield towards the Transfiguration Demon.

The frightened shapeshifter quickly dodged sideways, but the next second it screamed in its heart! With a roll of his eyes, he saw that Jiang Feng had already rushed in front of him and took a step and swung the sword in his hand to slash at it!

'Too ...... It's almost there. ’

With this last thought, the massive body of the Transfiguration Demon collapsed with a bang, and there was no longer a trace of life.

Looking at the demonic blood on the sword body that had been evaporated by the flame of holy light, Jiang Feng let out a long breath and closed the [Order Holy Seal] state.

At this time, he retreated to the distance, and Zhou Chengye cautiously walked back, looked at Jiang Feng and said, "I ...... served"

Inserting the [Twilight Fang] back into the scabbard, Jiang Feng looked at Zhou Chengye and said, "That demon should have called his companion just now, stay vigilant." ”

As soon as Jiang Feng's words fell, he saw Zarda appear from the void, looked at Jiang Feng and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the demons here are all very cowardly, even the transformation demons have been killed by you, where do other demons dare to come and send them to death, the village should be safe for the time being." ”

After listening to Jiang Feng, he was a little relieved, but still said: "It's better to be careful." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the sentry, and you can deal with the corpse of this shapeshifter." After Zarda finished speaking, he was just about to turn on [Stealth], but suddenly looked back at Jiang Feng and said, "When I come back later, you have to tell me how you found it." ”

Jiang Feng laughed and nodded, "Okay, no problem." ”

Waiting for Zarda to disappear in place, Zhou Chengye looked at the corpse of the transforming demon and said, "I'll help you dissect it, this level of demon is very likely to have essence." ”

"How can there be such a ......" Jiang Feng was just halfway through his words, when he suddenly sounded the luck of 30 o'clock in the morning.

'It's not going to be so simple and rude......

"! There really is! ”

Following Zhou Chengye's rude words, Jiang Feng looked at the corpse of the transforming demon in surprise, and found that there was indeed something like a black gem on its chest.

[Demon Essence], a rare material that generally only has a chance to condense on B-level demons, has good demon-guiding properties, and is one of the best materials used to make magic equipment.

In addition, the [Demon Essence] can also be purified into [Glow Crystal] by the Holy Light, which has an extremely high Holy Light affinity, and is very useful for both making equipment and enchanting.

And the Transfiguration Demon, as a C-level demon, can condense [Demon Essence] on his body, which is definitely a rarity among rarities.

"This is simply winning the lottery, no, winning the lottery is not so profitable!" Zhou Chengye said excitedly, people who don't know still think that this piece of [Demon Essence] is his trophy.

"But this transformation demon can condense the demon essence shows that it is very strong, Jiang Feng, you can really do it, this is all won." Zhou Chengye said and gave Jiang Feng a thumbs up, "Oh yes, how did you find out that Mushaka was disguised as a shapeshifter?" ”

Jiang Feng squatted down and touched the [Demon Essence], which was still a little warm, and replied: "I have felt strange since I knew that he was a professional, judging from my experience of having been in contact with so many demon cases in China, although the demons will not massacre civilians, they will never show mercy to professionals, since they even dare to demolish the church, it means that there are a lot of them, and there is no reason to let go of the only level 2 paladin in the village." ”

Zhou Chengye opened his mouth wide after hearing this and said, "It makes sense...... I didn't think of that. Saying that, he suddenly sighed with emotion, "Oh~" and said: "That's why you quickly asked the village chief to dismiss the villagers, are you afraid that if the fight breaks out, it will affect them?" And you didn't let him go outside with us to patrol, just for fear that it would suddenly attack us? ”

Nodding, Jiang Feng replied: "Yes, after entering the church that was burned to ruins, I smelled the fire from the charcoal, most likely it was put by the Tar Demon and the Flame Imp together, and the other ......"

"Wait!" Zhou Chengye suddenly made a pause gesture: "Can you still smell this?" Are you a paladin or a hunter? ”

"I've been trained in smell, and I've been exposed to a lot of demonic arson, so I have a little experience."

Zhou Chengye rubbed his forehead after hearing this and said: "It's amazing, it's amazing, I originally thought that the first time I went on a mission, I could play the prestige of a veteran, and teach you well, but now it's completely reversed, you have become my teacher." ”

"The teacher doesn't dare to be a teacher, just talk about some experience." Waving his hand, Jiang Feng continued: "Then I found the slime of the demon dog on the light array, which means that there are at least three demons who attacked the church here, and among them, there are also demons like the demon dog who loves to suck the magic power of professionals, so there is no reason to let go of the only paladin in the village." ”

"However, these discoveries only raised my suspicions to the highest level, and I haven't completely determined them yet, so I used a dedication to cover up by repairing the Guardian Light Array, and when the [Dedication] was about to spread to its feet, it almost subconsciously took a step back, although he pretended to evaluate my [Dedication] naturally afterwards, but I could already smell a hint of demonic aura that it emitted when it was frightened by [Risk]."

"Smack...... Syllable...... Syllable. ”

"Awesome, I'm convinced."

Zhou Chengye clapped his hands three times rhythmically, with an expression of admiration on his face.

After applauding, Zhou Chengye couldn't help but kick the corpse of the shapeshifter and said, "So he didn't slaughter the village after killing the only professional in the village and burning down the church, just to wait for us to investigate?" ”

"It should be." Jiang Feng nodded, "These demons have never had much interest in slaughtering civilians, their targets have always been professionals, and only when professionals never appear, they will use killing civilians to coerce the authorities." ”

"Hoo ......"

After the catastrophe, Zhou Chengye patted Jiang Feng's shoulder and said: "This time it's really thanks to you, otherwise if we let that transformation demon do it first, we will all have to explain here, but then again, we are also unlucky enough, the first time we encountered this rare demon on a mission, I joined the army for two years, and I only heard about it in cases." ”

"This ...... Quite unlucky, indeed. Jiang Feng agreed with some embarrassment.

After all, he couldn't tell whether he had met such a demon who was likely to destroy them because he was unlucky, or whether he was lucky enough to meet such a demon who was only C-level but could condense [Demon Essence].

After digging up the entire [Demon Essence] completely, Zhou Chengye handed it to Jiang Feng and said, "According to the rules of the military, the loot obtained by the squad when they act will be distributed by themselves, so this is yours." ”

Taking the [Demon Essence] handed over by Zhou Chengye, Jiang Feng felt its weight and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”

"You're welcome, we didn't do anything."

Just as the two were talking and laughing, Kafki, the village chief who had walked cautiously all the way, shouted: "Two officers, are you all right?" ”

The shapeshifters made such a big movement just now, and the people in the village naturally heard it, but they didn't do anything other than lock the door tighter.

It wasn't until it had been quiet for a while that Kafki had the courage to come out and take a look, and to find that nothing seemed to be the case.

Hearing the village chief's shout, Jiang Feng turned around and shouted, "It's okay for the time being, but let's not come out yet." ”

"Okay, got it." After Kafki finished speaking, he ran back with a puff of smoke.

Looking at the village chief's age-inappropriate running speed, Zhou Chengye shook his head with a smile, then looked at Jiang Feng and asked, "What are we going to do next?" ”

Although Jiang Feng wants to complain, shouldn't you tell me? But after thinking about it, he replied: "Brother Chengye, you go and report the situation here to your superiors first, in addition to repairing the people who guard the light array, you also need a new professional to guard here." ”

"Okay, what about you?" Zhou Chengye asked.

"I ...... I've got to go get my hammer back first. ”

"Poof!" Zhou Chengye couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Although you were very embarrassed when you picked up the hammer, it was really handsome to throw it out and take it just now!" ”

Sighing helplessly, Jiang Feng walked out in the direction where the hammer flew out, he threw it with all his strength just now, and it was not unusual for the hammer to fly far.

Until evening, there was no sign of a demonic invasion around the village, and it seemed that as Zarda had said, the demons were terrified when they found out that the shapeshifters had been killed, and they dared to run here.

Jiang Feng, who had already retrieved the hammer, was searching around the village at the moment, although the demons did not come to trouble them, it did not mean that he would not go to the trouble of those demons.

Since there can be more than four demons in this village at the same time, it means that there is a possibility that there are warlocks or demon lairs around, and if he can find them, uprooting them is the best way to restore peace here.

But it's a pity that Jiang Feng has already walked around the village several times and has not collected any useful clues, seeing that it is getting late, Jiang Feng has no choice but to return to Libaken Village first.

"Yo, it's just the right time to come back, there's something to eat." Zhou Chengye sat by a small stove and waved at Jiang Feng, who had just returned.

"Hot pot!?" Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, "Where did you come from?" ”

"The village chief gave it, and there are a lot of good ingredients, you see, mushroom pork, the village chief said it was a local specialty, and it was delicious." Zhou Chengye picked up the brown pork and said.

"That's a good thing to try." Jiang Feng said as he sat down opposite Zhou Chengye.

"Where's Zarda?" Jiang Feng opened a bottle of water and asked Zhou Chengye.

He had already asked Zarda to come back first when he went on patrol just now, so it was a little strange that he hadn't seen him at this time.

"Oh, he'...... Isn't this coming? Zhou Chengye pointed to the front and said.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Jiang Feng saw Zarda running over with a bunch of yellow, yellow, green and green vegetables and fruits.

"Come on, fresh passion fruit and soil root vegetables, you must not have eaten them." As she spoke, Zarda picked up a purple fruit and threw it towards Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng decisively reached out and grabbed it, looked at it twice, wiped it casually twice, and then took a bite.

After the first sip, sweet juice flowed out of the corners of Jiang Feng's mouth, making Jiang Feng marvel in his heart that there was really a lot of juice in this fruit.

After the second bite, the delicious delicacy really got into his heart, and then he couldn't wait for the third bite, which made Jiang Feng feel comfortable all over the place.

"How's it going, isn't it?" Seeing Jiang Feng eating so deliciously, Zarda said with a slightly smug expression.

"Delicious, this is called passion fruit?" Jiang Feng asked, chewing on the flesh.

"Well, it's a desert fruit, and as far as this season is, you're ...... Well, in the words of your dragon kingdom, it's called ...... There is a mouthful. Zarda said.

"Hahaha." Listening to Zarda's somewhat awkward pronunciation, Jiang Feng smiled: "Have you also learned the language of our country?" ”

"Hehe, I've been training in the Dragon Kingdom for three years, so I've learned a little bit." Zarda said as she threw a large handful of tender yellow vegetables into the pot: "This root vegetable is also very delicious, I specially went to ask the village chief to come, you can taste it later." ”

After eating the remaining passion fruit in one bite, Jiang Feng rubbed his hands and said, "Meidi is very, Meidi is very, oh yes, I have searched the surroundings several times, and I really can't detect a little demonic breath." ”

"I said it earlier, the demons here are very cowardly, knowing that the transformation demons are all dead here, it is impossible to dare to come, hey, by the way, you promised me just now, tell me how to find this transformation demon."

So Jiang Feng told Zarda again about the process of Zhou Chengye just now, but this time there was more Zhou Chengye, and Zarda was even more stunned when he heard it.

"That's amazing!"

Zarda slapped the table excitedly, almost overturning the pot, startling the three people and hurriedly holding on to the table.

"Hoo ......"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Zarda laughed and said: "It seems that I really picked up a life today, eat, eat, if it's not enough, I'll take it again, it's enough today!" ”

Sandwiched a piece of yellow and clear soil root vegetables, Jiang Feng tasted it and found that its taste was very sweet, and the taste was also magical, it was glutinous.

"This dish...... It's kind of interesting. ”

All three of them were professionals with big appetites, and the pot was delicious, so they ate it quickly, and just as Zarda was saying that she was going to get some more meat and vegetables, she saw a little girl walking towards them with a clay bowl in her hand.

In Jiang Feng's surprised eyes, the little girl slowly walked up to them, put down the tile bowl, and said to several people in a lingua franca: "This is a crystal chicken, my mother asked me to give it to you to eat." ”

Jiang Feng glanced at her in surprise and said, "You speak the lingua franca very well." ”

The little girl who was praised was a little shy, lowered her head and replied, "It was taught to me by my mother, who used to be a teacher." ”

"Before? Are you no longer a teacher now? Jiang Feng asked.

The little girl nodded: "Hmm...... Because there are fewer children going to school in the village. ”

Jiang Feng paused, a little unsure of how to answer.

At this time, Zarda said: "You open the lid and take a look, this crystal chicken is also a good thing." ”

"Okay." Jiang Feng took the opportunity to reach out and open the lid of the clay bowl, and found that it contained a cut chicken, which was covered with jelly on all sides, which looked very tempting.

Picking up the soup spoon and digging a mouthful of jelly and putting it in his mouth, feeling the sweet and rich aroma of meat in his mouth, Jiang Feng widened his eyes and gave the little girl a thumbs up and said, "Thank you mom for us, it's delicious." ”

The little girl grinned toothily and ran back in the direction of home.

"That's nice......"

Jiang Feng looked at the little girl's back and sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more villagers running towards them with all kinds of delicacies.

"Mr. Paladin, try this of mine, the potatoes that have just been tested are very fragrant."

"I've been boiling this pot of mushroom soup all afternoon, you guys come and try it."

"The village chief is really, he didn't tell us when the alarm was lifted, how can you let Mr. Soldier eat here, why don't you go to my house to eat?"

……

For a while, all kinds of somewhat stiff lingua franca and Gulida words poured into Jiang Feng's ears, making Jiang Feng smile heartily.

'That's nice......'

Early the next morning, because it would take some time to find a new professional, the reply from the superior asked Jiang Feng and Zhou Chengye to go back to the headquarters first, and let Zarda stay in the village for the time being.

However, Jiang Feng said that he still wanted to continue to search the surroundings for a period of three days, and if he did not find anything within three days, he would return to the headquarters immediately.

While Jiang Feng was waiting for a reply, the mobile phone issued by the troops before departure rang, and after looking at the number, Jiang Feng answered the channel: "This is Jiang Feng, please instruct." ”

"It's okay, Jiang Feng, I've only let you out for a day, and you've made such a big contribution to me."

On the other end of the phone, Ge Hongguang's voice came.

"Lieutenant mean that shapeshifter?"

"What else could it be?" Ge Hongguang smiled, "You really give me a face, you killed such a rare thing on the first day you went out, and the people in the local army were stunned, and gave me a thumbs up, I wrote down this merit for you, and you are indispensable to reward you when you go back." ”

"Then thank you, Lieutenant Ge."

"Thank you, oh yes, you applied to stay in Libakan for three more days, right, what, do you want to even serve the pot?"

"Well, I don't think they'll run away so easily, so I want to look for it, otherwise the village will suffer."

"Okay, I'll approve it, but it's only three days at most, and I still have a lot of tasks to give you."

"Yes!"

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng walked out and said to Zhou Chengye: "You go back first, I'll check for a few days." ”

"Okay, then be careful yourself." Patting Jiang Feng's arm, Zhou Chengye sat alone in the jeep and drove in the direction of the headquarters.

Waiting for Zhou Chengye to leave, Jiang Feng picked up the walkie-talkie and waved it to Zarda and said, "Keep in touch at any time." ”

"Okay." Zarda nodded in understanding.

Riding on the motorcycle, Jiang Feng decided to go to a farther place this time to check it out.

……

At the same time, dozens of kilometers away, outside a small town, two paladins and a warrior were holding weapons and looking at a man in a black robe on the opposite side with a wary face.

"You guys are so innocent, you chased it out directly." The black-robed man said to the three of them with a smile.

The Paladin who took the lead stepped forward and replied, "We have nothing to fear in order to eradicate an evil like you. ”

"Tut-tut." The black-robed man smacked his tongue, summoned a book of demons with his left hand and said, "You really deserve to be a paladin who claims to be righteous, then let me see how long you can hold on to this justice." ”

The paladin's face changed the moment he saw the demon book in the black-robed man's hand, and he didn't expect to meet such a high-level warlock here.

"I'll cover you, you go back to town and inform the upper authorities first."

"Captain! How could we have left you behind at this time! Another paladin behind him shouted.

"It's an order! Come on! ”

At this time, the warlock held a piece of [Soul Fragment] in his hand and laughed, "Don't fight, none of you can go back today." ”

After saying that, he crushed the [Soul Fragment], and a [Hell Flame] that seemed to be able to completely burn people's souls burned towards the three of them.

The leader actually hurriedly opened the [Guardian Aura] and shouted loudly: "Run!! ”

At this time, the two people behind him finally stopped being hypocritical, gritted their teeth and turned to run.

But before he could run a few steps, the warrior was suddenly hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, and the paladin who had fled with him was about to treat him, when he was also hit by an arrow in the back, and felt that the connection between himself and the Holy Covenant was gone.

Knowing that he was being attacked by the hunter, the paladin hurriedly raised his shield to protect the warrior, but even though he was engrossed in his surroundings, he was shot through the shoulder by an arrow that flew out of nowhere.

"Ahh

The paladin howled in pain, gritted his teeth and continued to raise his shield, as long as he endured until the time of the [Silent Arrow] was over, he could use the [Holy Light Technique] to heal himself.

But just as he was thinking about how to defend the next flying arrow, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression became distorted.

"Captain !!"

The paladin shouted hysterically, but it was useless, the captain paladin who was dragged all the way by the black-robed man was lifeless.

"I told you not to run, so why waste this energy?" After speaking, the black-robed man held the demon book in his hand and recited, "Suppuration." ”

In the next second, the paladin only felt a sharp pain in his right hand, and it was itchy and painful.

However, at this time, the effect of the [Silent Arrow] finally disappeared, and the paladin hurriedly brushed himself with a mouthful of [Holy Light Technique], but the effect was not obvious, and his right hand was still itchy and painful, as if someone was peeling off his skin layer by layer.

And just as the black-robed man was about to chant again, the paladin suddenly raised his right hand and shouted, "Glory! ”

The [Blinding Light] exploded instantly, and at the same time, the warrior who had been lying on the ground suddenly got up and launched a [Charge] towards the Warlock.

But just as he was halfway through the charge, a demon dog suddenly emerged from the void and bit his neck.

Seeing the warrior fall in front of him, the young paladin was desperate, and he drew his one-handed hammer from his waist and rushed towards the smiling warlock.

But before he could make any progress, he felt the same pain in his legs as his arms, and it was getting more and more painful!

"Ah!!h

The paladin screamed and fell to his knees.
