Chapter 69: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada (Part II)
Hundreds of years ago, someone inadvertently bit off a small piece of its flesh and blood when exorcising demons and swallowed it into the abdomen, and then found that his strength had increased several times in a few months, after thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to publish this method to the public, some people agreed after hearing about it, and planned to defy the law, and some people disdained it, thinking that this was an evil way, in fact, the ancients were not as disgusted with devouring alien flesh and blood as modern people, and there were many people who liked to eat human flesh in the troubled times and famine, and this method had a remarkable effect in the first two years, and some demon slayers killed powerful demons one after another.
However, the negative power contained in the demon flesh and blood is a great hidden danger, and all the demon slayers who have devoured the demon flesh and blood have slowly changed their temperament, irritable and irritable, thirsty for killing and cold-blooded, and more prone to evil thoughts, which caused a lot of confusion at the time.
Once the turmoil is suppressed, this method will be immediately banned by all demon slayer families.
It wasn't until the twentieth century that science entered a period of rapid development, the world's population began to grow rapidly like a big bang, and the demons became more and more powerful, at this time, some people whimsically figured out guò science to study a strengthening drug without side effects, and after decades of investment and countless sacrifices of the demon exterminator family, a liquid with few side effects was finally extracted from the demon flesh and blood, and at the same time the refining method was continuously optimized, and until now, the demon blood produced by a part of the demon exterminator family has no side effects. Although the effect of the increase is much worse than that of devouring demon flesh raw.
The Ann clan is one of the very few demon slayers who can extract the blood of demons without side effects.
Why don't you publish the refining method? But don't forget that what humans love most is infighting, unless they are forced to do so, they can only laugh at what they say.
There may be some people of insight who have voiced their worries and indignations, but in the face of the general trend, they can only be regarded as a small pebble thrown into the river, and they cannot make any waves.
This is also related to the source and low-key of the superior demons, most of the superior demons think that if humans want to dominate the world, they will dominate it, anyway, if the human race is not extinct, the demon clan can be born from the negative thoughts that are all over the human city. It's not a big deal to eat a few humans on weekdays, as long as you don't touch some bottom line, human beings won't make up their minds to break the net, but just like there is no shortage of radicals in humans, there are also some crazy people in the demons who try to come to the fore from the dark, such as the two superior demons of Lion Tiger and Baimu.
A few days ago, the demons made something that obviously made the big people above very dissatisfied, and after discussing it for several days, and after making some concessions of interests, it was finally decided to unite the demon slayer family and ordinary demon hunters to clean up the demons in Chongming City.
Sophie didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in this clean-up plan, and she was not interested in exploring it, he was just a passer-by after all. After completing the task for a while, he will return to Alcatraz Island, and compared to these, Sophie is more willing to listen to Chu Fan say some gossip about Alcatraz Island, so that she can avoid some detours.
Chu Fan is also willing to befriend Sophie.
"The number of Chosen Ones on Alcatraz is currently around 20,000, and if the rumors are true, a hundred new teams will be added every year in the future, and it is unclear what the upper limit is."
"However, those Gold-level Chosen Ones rarely show up, and each of them has otherworldly powers, and they are truly enemies of a thousand people. There is simply no way for ordinary armies to besiege them. I heard that the strongest one on the island has reached a higher level, tsk, platinum level, I don't know what kind of power it has. You say martial arts? In fact, the martial arts on Alcatraz Island are not as bad as you think. The chosen ones who can enter the Tao with martial arts are even stronger, so they say that the East of the Great Snake Team is undefeated, first completing the Sunflower Treasure Book, and then it happened to enter the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon. After getting his hands on the Northern Pluto Divine Skill, Douzhuan Star Shift, and other peerless skills, he was promoted to the silver level when he came back. ”
"There are only a handful of people in the whole of Alcatraz who can take that one embroidery needle right now."
"It's a pity that advanced martial arts has very high requirements for understanding, like climbing to the peak. At the beginning, most people can easily get started, but the road behind is getting more and more dangerous, even if ordinary people have high-level martial arts cards to help strengthen, it is difficult to break through to the silver level, unless a large number of high-level soul gems are consumed, but that is too wasteful, so there are very few selected people on the martial arts side of Alcatraz Island, and those martial arts cards that are drawn out are sold very cheaply, the price is two-thirds of the skills of the same level, and they are sold even cheaper when the market is sluggish. ”
The three of them were currently sitting in the corner of a large auditorium, and from time to time men and women in strange costumes pushed the door in, and randomly found a place to sit in the empty room, and nearly a hundred people had gathered in just half an hour, and they were extremely quiet when they talked to each other.
Chu Fan took a sip of mineral water and continued to sigh: "To be honest, which of us Chinese has never dreamed of martial arts, and even made the immortals who call the wind and rain, scatter beans into soldiers, and live forever, but unfortunately there are hundreds of Alcatraz Islands, oh, now there should be only a few people involved in that level of immortal arts in the two hundred teams, and the worst are the selected ones of the silver peak level." ”
"Of course, I also heard what others said, but it's not clear whether it's true or not, after all, the rumors are always far from the real situation."
Sophie nodded thoughtfully, in this way, she can use that attendant card a lot of time in advance, how can you say that silver-level cards can summon martial arts characters with super qualifications, right? His own Hundred Ghost Night Walking is also equivalent to a summoning talent, and as a result, he will become a strange summoner who is good at assassination skills?
The Ink Red Fish is not interested in the immortal art of manipulating the wind and holding thunder and drawing talismans to eliminate disasters, and what she really wants is a combat immortal technique similar to the cloud body wind body and the fighting immortal technique.
One punch collapses the mountain, and the army is invincible.
"Do you know what Alcatraz's purpose is? I think it's not just a platform for the chosen to travel between the worlds, it should have a deeper meaning, right? Sophie asked again.
"Purpose?" Chu Fan thought for a while, and said in an uncertain tone: "Maybe it's to train thugs, and being gentle is mutually beneficial?" Our chosen ones were given a second life by Alcatraz, and they can satisfy their own desires, and we help it solve some troubles, just like mercenaries, it is said that every four months, that is, four mission worlds, Alcatraz will release a big mission, the specific situation is not clear, I talked to some senior characters, all of them are secretive, only advise me not to think too far, and work hard to improve my strength, so that I can reap greater benefits. ”
It's not a secret, and you can find out if you take the time.
"Someone's coming." The black red fish's eyes moved slightly, and he reminded quietly.
Sophie and Chu Fan immediately stopped talking.
After a while, a string of footsteps sounded in the ears of Sophie and the others, An Yun, dressed in black casual clothes, stood in front of the three of them, followed by An Xiuer and four sturdy male bodyguards, all of whom were about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with bulging pockets around their waists, which should be firearms, and the muscles covered under the suit were full of explosive power, and the evil aura on their bodies also proved that they had a lot of lives on their hands, and it was not difficult to see that they had all received the strengthening of demon blood, and they were much stronger than ordinary people in all aspects of their bodies.
"I didn't expect you to choose a location here, but it took me a lot of time." An Yun sat down next to the cuttlefish, An Xiu'er stood quietly aside, and the four bodyguards were also scattered nearby, not only to ensure that the eldest lady's conversation would not be heard, but also to block any enemies who attacked the eldest lady.
At this time, the number of people in the auditorium increased dramatically to more than three hundred.
"These people are exorcists?" Sophie looked at the gradually lively auditorium, her expression was a little strange, she didn't expect that there were so many demon hunters hidden in Chongming City.
"Yes, after all, the demon slayer also has to eat, not to mention that the work of hunting demons is very dangerous, except for a small number of demon slayers who are strict with themselves, most of the demon slayers prefer pleasure, and usually spend a lot of money, and this time the state department has invested blood, and it is normal for the rich remuneration to attract the demon slayer from all over China." An Yun shrugged his shoulders and replied, and added: "For example, several of our demon slayer families have cultivated professional demon hunting teams and have their own intelligence sources, so they will not come forward directly. ”
Sophie wondered, "Then you still let us come?" Wouldn't it be better to just follow your family's exorcist squad? ”
"But the An family needs a representative, in short, those old minds in my family are too rotten, and they don't want to put the little hole cards in the family on the table, and they threw the mess to me, and I don't want to think that the powerful demon slayer has long been on the file of the state department, where can I find a few unfamous and powerful demon slayer for them, think about it, I only feel that you are very suitable, and you can pretend to be public and private to let you get two salaries, one for us to settle down, and one for the state department, isn't it good." An Yun tilted her head and chuckled.
"Second Miss, please be cautious." An Xiu'er said expressionlessly.
An Yun shook off her short soft hair that reached her ears, and replied with a smile: "I know, you won't make a small report anyway." ”
The thief's smile made An Xiu'er feel powerless for a while.
"I see." Sophie nodded as if she was clear, it was nothing more than an open and secret battle between the upper echelons.
"Oh, you have this." An Yun asked An Xiu'er to take out three mobile phones from her shoulder bag, and handed them to Sophie, Mohongyu, and Chu Fan one by one, and said with a serious expression: "This time, the state department has obtained important information, and is ready to take revenge on the demons, and at the same time, it will cooperate with all the observation points in Chongming City to monitor the movements of the demons, and take this opportunity, when the time comes, you can notify me of the location after you hunt the demons, and An will exchange the corpses of all demons with the same remuneration, and there is a positioning device in the mobile phone, if you stay in the same coordinate for more than half an hour, I'll send someone to find you. ”
An Yun explained with a natural face, and even did not hide the positioning device in the mobile phone.
She really wanted to be friends with Sophie, not only because of her life-saving grace, but also because of the strength that Sophie had shown. (To be continued......)
