Chapter 39: Tentacles

Su Yu said worriedly: "What is the strength of the person who issued the bounty task for you, if you question him, he won't be unfavorable to you, I can follow you to ask him." ”

"No, his realm is only the Yun Qi realm, the last time we met and looked for me was in the ghost city, it was a person, and the second time I was here, it was also a person, and now I have broken through to the innate realm, there is no problem to deal with it."

Yueshi continued: "However, that person doesn't seem to be trying to harm me, and the experience he said doesn't seem to be fake, giving me a problematic pill, which hurts myself and him, what's wrong with this pill?" ”

Su Yu stroked the pill and thought for a while: "The principle of this pill should be to input a large amount of demon qi into the human body, turning you into a half-demon beast, but it will not attack immediately, in this way, when you take the essence of the demon beast, you can still help you complete the task, I think he has absolute confidence that there is no problem with the pill." ”

"To be honest, if it weren't for my special means, I would never have seen a problem with the pill."

Yue Shi nodded silently in agreement, even Wang Guang couldn't see that there was a problem with this elixir, and it seemed that the origin was not small.

Su Yu asked again: "You and I can tell me in detail about that person's identity and background, so that I can judge and analyze." ”

Yue Shi thought for a while, organized the language, and said: "That person called himself Yinyue, saying that his family was destroyed by an enemy, and he wanted to use the essence of the demon beast to forge a demon soldier, and use this demon soldier to take revenge on the enemy. ”

"Of course, what he wants is not an ordinary demon beast essence, what he specifies is the demon beast essence on Black Tiger Mountain, and the demon beast essence is probably the demon beast essence at the level of the demon king."

It's not just the demon king level, I'm afraid it's higher.

Su Yu said: "What is the strength of the person who guards the essence of the demon beast, if there is a martial realm, the danger level will be greatly increased. ”

"Well, I have considered this question, according to that person, martial artists in the martial realm usually don't make a move, once they make a move, they will attract corpse collectors to deal with it, so there is no need to worry about martial artists in the martial realm coming over."

"Of course, Yinyue's words can't be fully trusted, and we can find a way to collect information on our own when the time comes."

"It actually attracts the attention of the corpse collector...... What kind of institution is the corpse collector? ”

"I only know that he is the core institution of the imperial court, which has been set up in various regions, and his strength is terrifying, enough to suppress all the local warriors."

Su Yu guessed in his heart, could this be a way for the imperial court to prevent local rebellion?

If you have mastered high-end combat power and defended one side, you can manage an area at a fraction of the cost, even if the place is in trouble, as long as it can be suppressed with sufficient force.

Su Yu suddenly realized that this world was the world of martial artists.

And since it is the world of warriors, the imperial power not only represents the absolute right, but also means that it can control the group of people with the most peak strength, and as long as it controls them, it is equivalent to controlling the entire world.

The corpse collector wants to belong to such an organization.

In this way, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to overthrow this decaying dynasty by means of rebellion.

An ordinary person is enough to despair in the face of an innate martial artist, let alone face a more advanced martial artist, which cannot be made up by quantity.

What a cruel truth, Su Yu sighed silently.

Su Yu's thoughts flashed through these thoughts quickly, and he said his guess to Yueshi.

"This corpse collector is the means of the imperial court to control the world? Well, the guess makes a lot of sense. Yueshi nodded in agreement, and then sighed: "I really want to change all this, but unfortunately, my strength is too weak." ”

Su Yu comforted: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"Don't talk about this, everything has to be done step by step, I'll talk to you about the hell mansion, do you know what kind of organization the hell mansion is?"

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "It's a killer organization? ”

"Not accurate, more precisely, it's an organization that can do things as long as you give money, kill people, find things, dig graves, they do it all, now my name has come out of this organization, and there is information about rewarding you, I just escaped an assassination yesterday and almost died, have you encountered an assassination during this time?"

"Nope."

"It seems that you are well hidden, they have not found your specific location or your name until now, but they have all the means, if you drag it any longer, I am afraid that you will also be assassinated."

Su Yu asked, "Since we can do everything with money, can we give money to let them protect us?" ”

"This question is very good, the conclusion is that it can't, they have a complete set of killing logic, and they will give priority to completing the bounty task that is ahead of time."

"In other words, if we find Hell and want to find someone to protect us, but someone finds out, they will kill us first."

"Therefore, if you want to revoke the bounty order, you need to make his killing logic contradictory, we hide our identity and issue a bounty order to protect ourselves, after the two groups of killers meet, they find that they are all themselves, and they will revoke the bounty order of both parties for a month."

Su Yu chuckled: "This sounds a bit interesting, won't they lose money like this?" ”

"Of course not, after all, as long as the bounty order hangs there, the Hell Mansion can charge a day's handling fee."

"So that's why you took on the Silver Moon bounty mission?"

"Well, and I've learned the disguise technique, so it's a lot easier to get things done."

Su Yu nodded slightly, expressing agreement.

"It's almost over, do you have any plans, I want to hear your thoughts."

Su Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It is not easy to steal the essence of the demon beast of Black Tiger Mountain, we need to make our own preparations, and we can't just trust that Silver Moon." ”

"I think there are at least two preparations that we need to make well, one is the escape route, before the official operation, we draw a map and plan the escape route, so that even if the mission fails, even if we escape."

"The second preparation, be prepared to deal with martial arts level martial artists."

"How is the city lord in his current state, can you help us?"

"It's not in good shape, I'm afraid not."

"Then we have to be prepared to deal with the martial artists."

Yue Shi said: "The strength of the martial arts realm is very terrifying, if you really meet a martial artist of the martial arts realm, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape." ”

"So we have to be prepared, there will always be a way, otherwise, when we really meet a martial artist in the martial realm, we will all have to die."

"Also, you said that he can cooperate with us inside and outside, does he know how Qingyunmen and the Mo family guard the essence of demon beasts? Who is in what and when will appear, this should be regular. ”

"Well, I told him about it, and he said he would contact me in three days, and he would find out the specific flow of people."

"In this way, we only need to think about how to deal with the martial artists of the martial realm, and this is the most important thing."

"I have two ideas, one is to use the elixir to delay the martial artists."

"This is not good, I don't have this kind of pill, let alone this kind of pill, I went to the ghost market to find it, and no one sells it, this level of poison pill is very rare."

"That idea is temporarily abandoned, and another way of thinking is striking at the west."

"Create enough movement near Black Tiger Mountain to attract martial artists from the Martial Realm Realm, what do you think will happen to attract martial artists from the Martial Realm Realm?"

Yueshi's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and said: "I happen to have a medicinal herb, called the Flower of the Water Moon, which has the power of attributes, and was given to me by the city lord, and it has a strong attraction to innate martial artists, so it is useless to us." ”

"However, how can we let the martial arts level martial artists near the Black Tiger Mountain know about the Water Moon Flower, this medicinal herb will not release a fragrance to the outside, and it is difficult to be perceived."

"There's no hurry about this, now that you have this Water Moon Flower, the rest will be easy to deal with."

"We have to find out the situation around the essence of the demon beast in Black Tiger Mountain first, if the terrain is not clear, there is no way to talk about the production plan."

Yueshi nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, you don't have anything else to do now, if not, we will act together now." ”

Su Yu nodded slightly, and followed Yue Shi to Beiyuan City to rent an inn.

Su Yu suddenly remembered and asked, "Why don't you be traced, will the people from Hell Mansion find here?" ”

"No, I just washed the blood, and the city lord checked it for me again, and there are no trace marks."

"That's good." Su Yu looked at the sky outside, it was about to get dark.

"Act together at night, find out the current situation in Black Tiger Mountain, and if there is something wrong, run away immediately."

Yueshi nodded slightly.

Due to the inconvenience of going out during the month, his appearance and body shape have already been known to the people of Hell Mansion, and now when he goes out, he is easy to find.

Su Yu could only hide his breath and make himself inconspicuous, and bought two sets of black clothes, while Su Yu bought a lot of flying knives.

Su Yu usually uses blood to receive sword qi, but now he can't do this, this technique is too obvious, it is equivalent to telling the people of Hell Mansion that your target is near Black Tiger Mountain.

At night, Su Yu and Yue Shi put on black windbreakers, showed their skills, and rushed to Black Tiger Mountain one after the other.

The moonlight cast a silvery glow on the ground, and the windless night was a little sweltering, and from time to time there was the sound of wild beasts roaring in the dark green trees.

Martial artists of Su Yu and Yueshi's level can see their surroundings clearly without the help of additional light.

Soon, Su Yu came to the vicinity of the cave that exuded a strong demonic aura, and after not seeing him for a while, the demonic aura seemed to be even stronger.

Faintly, Su Yu also heard the sound of crying, like a baby crying.

"Baby?" Su Yu looked at Yue Shi in surprise, Yue Shi obviously didn't know what the situation was, and he was also confused.

In this case, Su Yu wanted to ask something, but once he spoke, he was easily discovered.

At this time, Su Yu very much hoped that the martial artists could communicate directly with each other, but unfortunately, this was something that only immortal cultivators could do, and there was no concept of immortal cultivators in this world.

Su Yu cautiously took a few steps closer, wanting to see what was going on.

I saw a warrior holding a crying baby, into the cave, exuding a rich demonic aura in the cave black, suddenly, there are a few tentacles stretched out, grabbing the babies on the body of the warriors, accompanied by a scream, gnawing the sound of flesh and blood.

The baby's voice disappeared, and the warriors slowly retreated one by one, without panic, as if they had long been familiar with this kind of thing.

What the hell are they doing?

Actually feeding tentacles with babies!

That monster essence has completely turned into a tentacle monster?

All kinds of questions rose in Su Yu's heart, and there was silent anger burning silently in his heart.

Su Yu gave Yueshi a look, and the two slowly left the cave, and after they were far enough away, Yueshi asked, "Have you seen clearly, what is going on?" ”

Su Yu told Yue Shi what he saw, and selectively told Yue Shi that he had encountered this demon beast essence.

"I'm afraid the demon beast essence has become a tentacle, no matter what, the situation has exceeded your and my original expectations, don't act for the next few days, wait for that person to contact."

Yueshi nodded slightly: "It's that they can't act, tentacles, could it be that they are cultivating demon beasts?!"

The two returned to the inn and remained silent all night.

After waiting for a few days, a white pigeon entered the inn room through the window, and Yueshi took off the letter under the pigeon's leg and looked at it.

"He contacted me to meet at midnight in the woods about 300 meters northeast of Beiyuan City."

"I'll go with you too, he didn't say he wouldn't let me bring someone."

"I didn't say it."

"That's good."

At midnight, Su Yu and Yueshi arrived at the agreed place together.

A man also wearing a black trench coat walked out, wearing a mask that only showed his right eye.

"Yinyue, I want to ask you, there is a problem with the pill you gave, how do you want to explain it?"

"There is a problem, how can there be a problem?" Yinyue said in a hoarse voice.

Su Yu took out a pill and said: "This pill will release a lot of demonic energy after eating, and after about three hours, people will become half-demon beast-like existences, do you still want to admit it, you need to show sincerity to ask us for help, your attitude like this, it is difficult for us to believe you." ”

"Or can I choose to threaten you with killing you to hand over the disguise!"

Su Yu's eyes suddenly became cold, and his figure approached Yinyue like a ghost, and the black iron knife in his hand had already touched Yinyue's neck.

Yinyue chuckled, and brought up a series of coughing voices: "Kill, kill me and I'll be free, I want revenge, but I know it's impossible, in this case, if you kill it, it can be regarded as a relief for me." ”

"As for the pill problem you mentioned, I really don't know that there is a problem, if there is a problem, I will find a way to find you a pill that has no problem."

A trace of blood slid down the cold blade body and fell on Su Yu's body.

Su Yu withdrew the black iron knife, worried that this person who was no longer mentally normal would really choose to commit suicide.

In this way, the disguise technique he wanted was not found.

"No need, I'll solve the demon problem, you can tell me what you want to say when you came to ask us."

Yinyue took out a parchment scroll and said, "This is the daily duty situation of the martial artist, the distribution of positions, every seven days, and now it is the third day." ”
