"Brother Chen, you are already at the pinnacle of martial arts, right? Those few moves just now, but I can't reach my brother!" Lu Yunyuan nodded as he spoke, sure of his guess.

Chen Rui knew that the peak of martial arts that Lu Yunyuan was talking about, naturally he was the great master of the innate realm mentioned in the rivers and lakes, not the strong man who broke the void among the monks, but since he was in the mortal world, Chen Rui had to act according to the rules of the mortal world, he nodded slightly, indicating his acquiescence, and by the way, he asked for a tone for his future martial arts path, just like the big fool of the day, in case he succeeded.

Wei Chongyan saw Chen Rui nodding, stepped forward first, walked in front of Chen Ren, made a peer salute, and said: "Brother Chen's force is all over the sky, Wei is rude, and I hope Brother Chen is not to blame." ”

Chen Rui hurriedly helped Wei Chongyan up, so that the proud general could put down his body, although it was very cool, but today he came as a mercenary, and he would not let himself go too much, after all, what Wei Chongyan wanted to say had not yet been revealed, in case it was something extremely difficult, it would not be too embarrassing to want to run away at that time.

"The general's words are serious, and it is human nature to weigh the weight of the goods. ”

Only by lowering one's own figure can one better see the faces of others, which Chen Rui sees very thoroughly.

At this time, a tall man in a plain robe and blue clothes walked up to Wei Chongyan, Chen Rui remembered that this person was one of the two people with different accents, it seemed to be called Xu Feng. Xu Feng saluted and said, "General, this Brother Chen's force is indeed up to standard, I think it's time to tell him about our plan." ”

Another man not far behind Xu Feng said with the same accent and approached: "I also think it's okay, after all, time is imminent, and we don't have time to look for a master like Brother Chen." ”

The conversation between the two made Wei Chongyan, who was originally smiling, fall into deep thought, his eyes were scattered, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he sighed deeply and beckoned everyone to sit down at the table again.

"Brother Chen, if I say that there are monsters in this world, do you believe it or not?"

Chen Rui is a person who came out of the Xiuzhen Sect, of course he knows that there are demon races and ghosts and other alien races in this world, he nodded and said: "I believe it, but why did you say this, General?" Although Wei Chongyan has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, he is a person who doesn't even know about cultivators, but how can he talk about things like monsters, looking at his heavy face, he is obviously distressed about this matter.

Wei Chongyan didn't expect Chen Rui to believe it immediately, obviously he hadn't said the detailed information yet, but he saw that Chen Rui's face was as usual, and he didn't mean to joke, so he continued to speak: "Dissatisfied Brother Chen, since you learned about me through the bait, then you should also have an understanding of why I am with street gangsters like him." ”

As for this question, Chen Rui has always kept it in his heart, but he didn't expect Wei Chongyan to say it himself, he nodded.

"I Wei repeatedly, not to mention anything else, I am loyal to this country, I want to serve the country, and I have never had any selfishness. However, the one in the palace was afraid that I would be a disaster to him, so he withdrew my military power and sent me to this remote mountain city. I did not complain about these me, but he separated and placed all my brothers who were born and died with me in various places, and gave me only a small group of recruits of less than three hundred......"

Chen Rui understood that this Wei Chongyan had something to do with the emperor and was removed from power, but what does this have to do with the monster in his mouth.

"All of the above, although I am unwilling, but I have also thought about returning to the mountains and forests before, but I do not complain. But a year ago, when I was exterminating a gang of human traffickers, I learned about something terrible. When Wei Chongyan said this, his eyes became deep, and Chen Rui knew that he was going to get to the point.

"They're connected to that youkai?"

"Yes, when I asked the head of the traffickers, he told me that they had no choice but to do it. Although I didn't believe his nonsense, I asked him why. He said at the time, 'In a mountain fifty miles east of the city, there is a cave in the mountain, and in it lives a monster that eats people's hearts, and this demon can detain the soul of man, and if he does not obey it, this demon will swallow the soul in his hand, and the person who swallows the soul will die violently in three days. After listening to this man, I asked several other traffickers, and not only did they all say the same thing, but they all had the same expressions on their faces, and they were extremely frightened, not like they were lying. ”

Wei Chongyan paused, and then said: "In order to verify the authenticity of the traffickers' words, I sent a five-person vanguard and ordered them to go to the cave to investigate, but I didn't expect that only one person dragged the seriously injured body back, he proved that the traffickers' words were correct, but unfortunately three days later, he also died of his injuries." Speaking of this, Wei Chongyan shook his head one after another, it seemed that he was still very sorry for the death of his subordinates.

Chen Rui knew very little about the affairs of the demon clan, and even in the library in the original sword killing gate, the description of the demon clan was only a corner and corner, and he couldn't get any specific information at all. He became more and more curious about Wei Chongyan's words.

"I, Wei Zhengyan, can't do anything else, but I am sincere to my brothers, that monster killed five of my subordinates, how can I give up. So I ordered Lao Wei to take 200 men and go into the cave. You must know that although I am a rookie, under the training of Lao Wei, I can also form combat power. Unexpectedly, that monster, three times five divided by two, with unknown demon skills, killed most of the two hundred people, and even Lao Wei almost died there. ”

"So you're going to hire me to go to the cave to kill that monster and eliminate the harm in the name?" Chen Rui seemed to smile, he Chen Rui was not a saint, especially after escaping his life at the hands of Zhou Xiaodong, he cherished his life even more, this can easily kill and injure a hundred monsters, and his strength must not be underestimated. If something goes wrong, he will most likely die here.

Wei Chongyan knew that Chen Rui was unwilling to work for himself, and he said: "My spies have inquired that Brother Chen has been looking for thousand-year-old medicine everywhere these days, Wei is not a rich and noble person, there are still two thousand-year-old ginseng in the house, as long as Your Excellency promises Wei, I will give you all these medicinal materials, and I will never break my promise!"

"Huh. Chen Rui chuckled, "Aren't you the lord of a city, can't you ask for a soldier from above and take down that monster in one fell swoop?"

Hearing Chen Rui's words, Wei Chongyan slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Then the emperor is on guard against me everywhere, how can he send troops." I didn't even write ten urgent reports, but he didn't take any action, he just said wait, this is a year, that monster will wake up, and in a few days, our people in Fengming City will become blood food in the mouth of that monster!"

"What!" Chen Rui was shocked, "You said 'wake up'? Could it be that the monster was seriously injured by you and can't do anything for the time being?"

Wei Chongyan didn't know why Chen Rui's attitude suddenly took a big turn, and nodded: "Of course, although most of our soldiers here are killed and injured, that monster doesn't seem to be having a good time, and it was seriously injured by several of my veterans." These veterans are all warriors who have fought on the battlefield with me for many years, and they are well versed in the way of killing, maybe that monster was broken through by the killing intent of my veterans and injured the origin. ”

Regarding the killing intent that Wei Chongyan said, Chen Rui knew that it was true, after all, he had just fought just now, and the killing intent of those soldiers was indeed very strong, maybe the monster was careless and was injured by these soldiers at close range. Since it can be injured by these soldiers, it means that the monster may not be very strong, but the demon is strong. The so-called demon arts, in fact, are similar to the magic powers used by monks, they are all means of communicating the aura between heaven and earth, Chen Rui has the spirit extinguishing stone in his hand, as long as he disturbs the magic of the monster, with his current body, if he is close to a battle, not to mention 100% victory, seeing that the situation is not good, it will be the same to run again.

"Your Excellency General, I need all the information about that monster, preferably 100% complete, wait until you give me all this information, wait for me to think about it carefully, if I feel that it can be done, I will definitely make a move, if the difference in strength is huge, I don't want to lose my life in vain. ”

Chen Rui said very clearly, he had to act according to the situation, and hoped that Wei Chongyan would give him enough time to think about it.

Wei Chongyan naturally knew that Chen Rui was a strong man, he couldn't force it, let alone be tough, and compromised: "Time is pressing, I'll give you seven days, during this period, if you need anything, just open your mouth, and I will prepare it for you." ”

"Alas, if I had known this, why should I be a thief and go to Dai Mansion, really. Chen Rui complained a little in his heart, and then inquired about some details, then withdrew from Pingbian Mansion and returned to the inn.

As soon as Chen Rui arrived, two people from Pingbian Mansion followed him with two big boxes. One of them is naturally the information about the monster, and the other is the two thousand-year-old ginseng and some precious medicinal herbs.

"This Wei Chongyan is very angry, and wants me to eat people for the shortest, but I don't need these things for the time being. Chen Rui closed the box containing ginseng and medicinal herbs and opened the wooden box containing the materials.

The top layer of the box is a portrait, the portrait is not the traditional appearance of the green fangs, but a body similar to a human, except that its limbs are still beast limbs, I can't tell what kind of beast it is, covered with green long hair, red eyes, naked, there is an arm-thick iron chain hanging on the chest, the iron chain is painted with mysterious runes, but the person who painted it is not very detailed, it is not clear to see, it seems to be a special magic weapon, the magic power that can detain the human soul, it is estimated that the effect of this iron chain.
