Chapter 37: The Beginning of Troubled Times
With a strong spiritual power and a systematic cultivation method, the Qi Explosion Technique was not too difficult for Li Qian.
"It's still early, I'll wait until the evening to check on the situation."
Immediately, he set his sights on the wizarding world and found that during the period of his cultivation, what happened in the wizarding world could be described as magnificent, turning a thousand times.
After Hercules accepted Lilith as a maid, he made her a special set of clothes and covered up all the features of the monsters on her body.
And Lilith, with her excellent appearance and gentle personality, quickly got along with the people of the demon hunting group.
The Demon Hunter Regiment, a direct force under the Argos led by Hercules, has the main goal of hunting and killing monsters.
After Lilith joined, Hercules discovered that she possessed a power that could confuse monsters, and the efficiency of the demon hunting group increased rapidly.
Soon, the Demon Hunters became famous in the Argos Kingdom.
The people were proud of the Demon Hunters and called Hercules the Pillar of the Kingdom.
Just as their fame was at its peak, the Demon Hunters were confronted by Barend, the First Beast Commander.
This time, Hercules was not as invincible as he used to be, and was seriously injured by Barende in the opening game.
And Lilith's power didn't have the slightest effect on Barende.
The warriors of the Demon Hunter Regiment died one after another, but Hercules could only watch this scene happen weakly.
"No, don't!"
"It can't be like this! Absolutely not! ”
Under the influence of strong obsession, Hercules seemed to sink into endless darkness.
A strange, ethereal voice sounded in his ears.
"Do you want to have power?"
"Give me your body and mind, and I will give you the strength to be invincible."
Hercules was silent for a long time: "Can you save everyone's strength?" ”
"Of course."
"Okay, I'll swap with you."
In the endless darkness, there seemed to be a low chuckle.
"Congratulations, you made the right decision...... From now on, you will be invincible! ”
Since then, everyone on the battlefield has witnessed an extremely terrifying scene.
Hercules was like a demon god descending into the world, his body was surrounded by endless black qi, and his eyes were as red as blood.
Where the black gas passes, not a single grass grows!
Wisps of wailing souls were sucked into Hercules' body.
On this day, Barende was seriously wounded, the army was dead and wounded, and only a few dozen people of the demon hunting group remained.
Back in the city-state, almost everyone was silent about it.
Despite the heavy casualties, Barende's serious injuries made people rejoice that Barende was no longer an invincible monster.
"Hercules, our greatest hero!"
"If it weren't for him, what would the Demon Hunters be!"
"It's all because of Hercules, so they survived!"
When all the honor is concentrated on one person, people will regard him as a god.
For a time, Hercules' popularity did not fall, but climbed to the top.
But under the victory, the pain will not disappear, but will be vented in another way, on the foil around the bright body.
"It's all because of you!"
"If you could be stronger, you wouldn't have died so many people!"
"Hercules is so strong, but you are as weak as insects and ants."
In the tavern, several demon hunters sat silently, with all sorts of bitter sarcasm running behind them.
"Damn it, if it weren't for our desperate efforts, they would have lived a peaceful life here?" One of the fighters couldn't help but whispered.
Others, too, are dissatisfied.
Everyone is a member of the Demon Hunting Regiment, why is Hercules full of flowers and honors.
When they come, they can only be ridiculed and ridiculed.
The same happened in various parts of the city-state of Konya.
"When a man is too strong, those who walk with him either shine brightly or fall into the abyss."
Seeing this scene, Li Qian couldn't help but think of some past events.
When he was still in the research institute, he was also called a genius.
Most of the researchers who were at the same time as him were not promoted very well later, because their own light was covered by him and it was difficult to be discovered.
This situation is only fine for a while, but if it continues for a long time, there will definitely be an anomaly.
Sure enough, soon a piece of news began to circulate among the city-states.
"Hercules is able to burst out with great power because he will absorb the soul of a human being."
"And the maid who followed her is a hybrid of human and demonic beasts!"
Modea had to investigate the source of the remarks as soon as possible, and the only people who knew about it were the people in the demon hunting group.
However, before she could investigate, the rumors swept through the entire city-state of Konya like wings.
"What? Hercules can suck people's souls? ”
"It's horrible! He won't suck our souls, will he? ”
"No wonder you can have such great power and use such bloody means!"
"How can such people protect us? We don't need this kind of executioner's protection! ”
For a time, the city-state fell into a frenzy of public opinion, and Hercules also stood on the cusp.
In the seventy-fourth year of Argos, Hercules proved his strength by going to the frontier city to stop Barende's re-attack.
However, no longer surrendering his body and mind to the darkness, he was finally defeated by Barende and was severely injured.
The entire town was slaughtered by Barend, and the death toll was as high as 100,000!
At this point, Hercules' prestige hit rock bottom.
The once glorious hero has become a bloody thug that everyone shouts and beats.
Only Lilith was always by his side, and the two depended on each other.
"Hercules, no matter what you become, I will be with you."
After paying their respects to Modeya, the two entered the town and lived in seclusion.
However, their peaceful life did not begin.
Barend, the First Warcraft Commander, seemed to be deliberately targeting him, and wherever Hercules went, the town would be attacked.
The people complained about Hercules and asked Hercules to take the initiative to stand up.
"Why is Hercules running everywhere!"
"Isn't he a hero? Shouldn't heroes sacrifice themselves to protect us? ”
"I knew this guy was an executioner for a long time, but I didn't expect to take our lives as fate at all!"
On the other side, Modea didn't return to the lab for a long time because he was blocking Barende's attack everywhere.
After stopping Barende again, she returned to the lab exhausted.
"Strange...... Why is one missing? ”
She looked at the experimental cage in front of her, her face changed greatly, and she immediately ordered.
"Nationwide search! Any person of stature who does not conform to a human being, or who behaves differently from a human being! ”
"If you find it, whether you live or die, bring it all back to me!"
Not many people know about this disappearance.
But it has become the key to the opening of the war in the entire wizarding world......
