Chapter Thirty-Eight: Picking Up a Demon at Your Fingertips

The shopkeeper read the five pieces of rice paper one by one, and then returned them to Captain Li.

"Written down!" He hunched his waist slightly, a pair of chubby little hands kept rubbing in the palms of his hands, and his eyes did not take off the rice paper, as if he was considering what to say.

"Uh...... Captain Lee, you're having a big night...... Is it to catch these little thieves? He asked tentatively.

"Little thief?" Captain Li sneered and rolled up the rice paper and put it around his waist.

"Look at how shrewd you are, why are you so stupid tonight? Do you think catching a little thief will be worth the big deal in the owner's mansion? His tone was a little sarcastic.

"It's not worth it...... It's not worth it...... Scold...... Hehe......" The shopkeeper laughed again and again, and laughed directly twice at the end.

Captain Li snorted lightly, looking at his sycophant face, a little disdainful, but also a little enjoyable.

"I can warn you in advance, Ah Dong shopkeeper!" He patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper, leaned his head closer and lowered his voice: "These people are all extremely vicious, if you really find out, you should be careful when sending someone to keep an eye on you!" ”

"I'm sure they'll find out, turn around...... Straight to you! ”

"Shhh Listening to Captain Li's words, the shopkeeper shook all over his body, his face became pale, and he looked at Captain Li with an expression that he was about to cry, and even stammered as he spoke:

"Captain Lee...... Look at this...... This errand I ...... I ......"

"I'm me, I'm nothing!" Captain Li interrupted him impatiently, "Do you really think you're the only one looking for you?" In two days, the whole Zhuangzi will be plastered with portraits of these people, and when the time comes, as long as they dare to show up in Luojiazhuang, hehe, make sure they don't come back! ”

As he spoke, he straightened up and looked at the shopkeeper in the east, and his expression seemed to be a little proud:

"So, Ah Dong shopkeeper, you should stay in your Dong guest for a few days! Don't just run around, it's messy outside! ”

"If you get any gossip, let me know sooner! Wait until my brothers catch these traitors, and then come to you for a drink! ”

The east shopkeeper responded again and again, and the thick waist rod of the bucket kept arching as if it couldn't stand up.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face was slightly strange.

"Traitor?" He whispered a sentence and looked at Captain Li cautiously, "Could it be ......?"

"East Shopkeeper!!" Captain Li's face suddenly sank, and he interrupted his words with an angry shout, and then looked at him with cold eyes.

"There are some things that you should know and what you shouldn't know, you have to think clearly!"

"Yes, yes...... It's me who talks a lot, I don't hear anything, I don't hear anything......" The shopkeeper lowered his head and said resignedly.

"Humph!" Captain Li snorted coldly, did not threaten him again, and instead said in a hard voice:

"There's still something to do, so that's all for today! In the middle of the night, it was cool outside, and the east shopkeeper was better to rest early! ”

The head of the shopkeeper never raised, and he didn't seem to dare to look at Captain Li's face, and kept muttering the words "yes, yes, yes" in his mouth.

Unable to say boo to a goose!

Captain Li scolded in his heart disdainfully, said goodbye, and then turned around and ran towards the alley.

The shopkeeper had been standing there and bending over, and after a long time he slowly raised his head, trotted into the door, closed the door vigorously, and pulled the latch.

Then he walked through the courtyard into the small building, sent the handyman who followed him away, took off his coat, and went into the bedroom to sleep.

It's business as usual.

The street outside was still noisy, but there was silence in the bedroom.

After a long time, on the big bed that was a little lonely, the dreamlike voice of the shopkeeper sounded softly.

"It's gone...... The identity team leaders all know...... You can stay for up to two days...... You must leave the ...... as soon as possible."

There was silence in the darkness, and after a few moments, there were two soft sounds on the screen in the distance, and the shopkeeper turned over, hugged the quilt and closed his eyes.

……

In the middle of the day, there is tranquility in the Lion Camel Mountains.

At the foot of Peak, where the cliffs rise from the ground, a struggling beach stretches into the woods.

- This is the dividing line between the woods and the cliffs, with trees and greenery all over the mountains, and rocky beaches and mud paths in the shadow of the cliffs on the inside.

Patches of moonlight poured down, staining the gravel beach a shade of silver.

Sneer......

A pair of cloth shoes suddenly stepped out of the shadows and stepped on the scattered stones.

The black robe swayed slightly in the evening breeze, like a shadow ready to dissipate at any moment.

Mu Yan took off the hood on his head and stood on the rocky beach, his eyes slowly moving from the woods next to him to the gravel beach under his feet following the moonlight.

After a moment's silence, he took a step back and crouched down, muttering a spell in his mouth and brushing his hand across the surface of the rubble.

As his palm brushed, large expanses of blue fluorescent appeared in a disorderly manner on the rocky beach.

A large group of youkai......

He came to his conclusion easily.

And it's not an ethnic group!

He took two steps forward and looked at it carefully, and he added in his mind.

It seems to be from the demon general's command, not a certain family or race.

He continued to walk, the glow at his feet stretching as he walked all the way to the bottom of the cliff of the black hole.

The moonlight stopped here, so Mu Yan also stopped here, and the fluorescence at his feet gradually dissipated.

He looked up at the cliff...... It was dark, and nothing could be seen, except for the occasional faint silver mist leaking out in the outermost sky, rolling in the darkness.

The moonlight is blocked on it! The thick clouds and mist covered the entire cliff tightly, so that at this moment, the bottom of the cliff was like a ghost gate, and the five fingers could not be seen!

But it doesn't make a difference.

Mu Yan chanted a few broken sentences softly, opened his palm, and a bright and soft ball of light appeared in his hand.

He stretched his palm forward slightly, and the ball of light flew away from his palm.

The perennial darkness was lit up, and the sound of the sound of Suosuo came from the cliff wall on the right, and unknown insects were disturbed by the light and quickly burrowed into the cracks in the stones next to them.

Mu Yan glanced at the stone wall, didn't pay much attention to it, and followed the ball of light forward.

Gradually, the darkness was illuminated more and more, and a quagmire appeared in his sight.

Mu Yan's expression moved slightly, and he stopped suddenly.

A subtle fluctuation appeared in his spiritual power!

Is this the breath of a living creature? How is it a little strange?

His brow furrowed slightly.

Although his mental power can sense objects, the denser the place, the smaller the sensing range, and the more blurred the image of the object will be.

Just like the thing buried deep under the quagmire at this time, he could only feel a little insignificant breath of life.

After thinking about it, he still took two steps forward, reached out and picked up the ball of light that was still floating in front of him from mid-air, and threw it into the quagmire.

The ball of light had no weight, and came to a stop as it approached the rock wall, but there was no movement other than to disturb the insects on the rock wall.

Mu Yan looked carefully, and with the light of the fluorescent spell, he could still see clearly the thick mud on that rock wall, as well as the messy field around him.

It looks like you've been through a big war!

He approached, slightly raising his palm to cast a levitation spell on the anomalous aura.

Then he slowly lifted a youkai covered in mud and almost half his height from the mire.

The monster hung its head, its limbs limp, motionless, as if it were dead.

But Mu Yan knew that it was not dead, and the breath of life fed back to him by his spiritual power was still there, but it was faintly like a candle that could be blown out in one bite.

It's a dying youkai!

If it is just left to tomorrow regardless of it, no matter how tenacious its vitality is, it should die.

Clean up!

Mu Yan whispered a spell and placed his palm on the monster's head, revealing its true body.

It's a weasel spirit!

He immediately made a judgment, and then probed his spiritual power into the weasel spirit's body.

This probe immediately made Mu Yan gasp.

β€”β€”This weasel spirit has basically every bone on its body, and its internal organs are basically displaced, and it is a miracle that it can survive until now!

Wait a minute......

Mu Yan immediately realized that something was wrong.

With his understanding of youkai these days, he can not die under this kind of injury, and he can still have such a strong vitality...... Could this be a big demon?!

A bright light flashed in Mu Yan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled.

"Looks like God has finally favored me for once!" He whispered.

Retracting the light, he strode outside with the weasel spirit.

In the gloom, the weasel spirit's eyelids seemed to move, but they never opened......

……

Early in the morning, the disciples once again began to explore the area as planned.

But before leaving, Mu Yan gathered all of them and announced a news......

"We're going to stay here three more days?" Sui Yan exclaimed.

"What questions do you have?" Mu Yan glanced at him.

"No, no!" Sui Yan immediately waved his hand and said with a sneer, "Since the catechumens want to collect medicine in this mountain range, why shouldn't we stay longer?" ”

Hehe......

Mu Yan sneered twice when he looked at him with a desperate but happy expression, glanced at everyone, and found that the morale was a little low.

He knew that these disciples were actually unwilling in their hearts, after all, in this wilderness, although they could eat well and be full every time, they had to carefully explore the surroundings every day, and they could only sleep on hard and icy straw mats at night.

Originally, according to the original plan, tomorrow was the day when the exploration team returned, and because the mission exploration went smoothly in the past few days, everyone thought that they would be the first of so many exploration teams in the Demon Punishment Society to return on time!

As a result, I didn't expect that even if the mission was completed, they would be forcibly left here for three days!

Three days not only means an increase in the workload, but also an increase in the degree of danger! Who would want that?

But this kind of thought can only be thought about, no one dares to say it, here Mu Yan is the boss, what Mu Yan says they must do.

Absolute obedience!

This was the only request they had before leaving!
