Chapter IV. Missing men

"I've never seen such hopeless waste as yours!" Wait until all the recruits of the Demon Hunting Gate gather in the training ground. Xu Zhenqing said, "Your hands are only born to pick dung, and you are not qualified to hold a sword." In my opinion, I will send you all to raise pigs. ”

Then he began to name names: "Toad, stupid pig, big stupid cow, wild ass..."

"Elder Xu, I have a name..."

"Smack!" Xu Zhenqing slapped the recruit in the face with his backhand, "Lao Tzu said that you are called a stupid pig, you are called a stupid pig." You are not allowed to eat tonight. He roared, "You filthy garbage have listened to me.

Don't think that if you come to the Demon Hunter Gate, your sins will be forgotten. Murderers, robbers, thieves, liars. The Great Xia Emperor gives you a chance to mend your ways, and you will have to atone for your sins!

Now, each of you stands facing each other in a group. ”

The recruits immediately complied.

"Very well, at least you are not deaf and not idiots!" Xu Zhenqing shouted again:

"Listen up, crumbs. Now, do whatever it takes to bring down the person across from you, dead or alive! Win at night to have food to eat and a place to sleep. If you lose, give Lao Tzu to stand here until dawn.

The battle began !!"

As soon as the words fell, the recruits had to fight helplessly.

"Elder, it's not appropriate to treat recruits like this!" Qi Rusong said.

"Do you have any comments? Bastard! A Demon Hunter Sect disciple scoffed.

Qi Rusong hated this nickname, and since the last incident, Xu Zhenqing has called him so. The other demon hunting disciples who followed Xu Zhenqing also learned.

"No matter what they did before, now that they have joined the Demon Hunting Sect, they are our brothers!" Qi Rusong said, "Please treat them fairly, just as you treat your subordinates." ”

"You are willing to be in the company of criminals, no one can stop you," said one of Xu Zhenqing's subordinates, "After all, you are a wild seed, hum!" ”

"You'll try again?"

"So what?" Xu Zhenqing's other subordinate accosted. "I really don't know what method your mother used to climb onto the prince's bed and give birth to such a wild seed as you."

"Eighty percent is the cousin in the Piaoxiang Building."

"You're going to die for me!" Where is Qi Rusong willing to endure, he pulls out the dragon light, and he wants to fight to the death with those people.

However, he was stopped by Elder Wu, "Stop it all for me!" Stop now! His voice was like a blade splitting through the air.

"The Demon Hunter Gate needs every strength. Elder Xu Zhang, let them stop! Otherwise, if there is any mistake in this group of recruits, I will ask for you! ”

Although Elder Wu and Xu Zhenqing were of the same level, in the Southern Demon Hunting Gate, no one would question his status as the second-in-command.

Xu Zhenqing had no choice but to wave his hand and ask the recruits to stop.

"And you, Qi Rusong, keep saying that you are all brothers. But he draws his sword at every turn! Is it to talk with your fists to treat your brothers? ”

"He said my mother was..."

"It's a watch, I heard it, so what?"

Qi Ru was so relieved that he was chilling. "Can I go?"

"I said yes, you can." Elder Wu said, "If you talk about it with your mouth, your mother will not become a cousin." What kind of person she is, what kind of person she is, and what does it have to do with what others say.

Having said that, there are really some people in our demon hunting gate who are cousins. ”

My mother wasn't. He didn't know anything about his mother, and Qi Tai never said anything about her. But he dreamed of her so often that he could almost piece together her look.

In the dream, she was noble, beautiful, and kind.

"You think you're the illegitimate son of the prince, and you feel very uncomfortable?" Elder Wu continued, "Let me tell you, there is a son of a skilled woman in the Demon Hunting Sect, and now he is a deacon of the Demon Hunting Sect.

Background is not everything, I have seen too many civilian heroes, and I have also seen countless miscellaneous warriors! ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xu Zhenqing and the others viciously.

"Let's go!" Xu Zhenqing gave Elder Wu a look in return, and then left with his subordinates.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of the door of the Demon Hunter Gate being pushed open.

"The deputy master is back."

Marven rode a white horse and walked in the front, followed by more than 30 people. 0?2?0?2?0?2?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?

At the same time, the Demon Hunter Sect disciple brought back a cart full of corpses.

It turned out that two months ago, the news came from the Ghost Shadow Forest that the demon clan had broken through the seal and attacked the people.

Marven immediately sent the stone snake and the wolf to eliminate the demon.

But as the month passed, no one returned.

The situation was serious, so Marven personally led the team and went to the Ghost Forest to look for Stone Snake and others.

And now he has only brought back the corpses of eight disciples.

"It's him." One of the Demon Hunter disciples announced, "Can't be wrong, it's them!" ”

"Carry them to Elder Wu's room!" Marven commanded.

Elder Wu instructed the others to carry the corpse of a Demon Hunter Sect brother into the autopsy room, and they turned the corpse over and then stacked it neatly.

The corpse's face was pale, and its blue eyes were wide open.

"They're all from Stone Snake!" Qi Rusong said secretly.

Stone Snake: Deacon of the Demon Hunting Gate, [Fourth-Order Great Sword Master] powerhouse.

He remembered how he begged to go with them when he heard that the demon clan was harming the people of the southern border more than a month ago. If he had brought me, he might have let me lie here......

"God has mercy." Marven muttered, he took off his armor and handed it to his disciple. It was an unusually warm dusk, but the broad forehead of the deputy master of the Demon Hunting Gate was covered with beads of sweat.

You took thirty-three people with you, and where did the others go? ”

The wolf shook his head, "If only I knew! "They split into two routes in order to broaden the search area.

Marven was clearly unhappy with this answer. "Eight brothers died, but you didn't know anything. Could it be that the Demon Hunter Gate has been lazy to this point? You didn't find the slightest clue? ”

"Of course there is, Master, but..."

"This disciple has a hunting horn on him," Marven said, pointing to one of the corpses, "do you want me to believe that he didn't even blow a word before he died?" Or are your men not only blind, but also deaf?

The wolf's fur stood on end in anger, and his face was full of anger. "Master, no one blows the trumpet, otherwise my people will hear it. Now that the Demon Hunter Gate is understaffed, it is impossible to patrol carefully as you intended. ”

Marven muttered, "Alas, too." Then forget it. He waved his hand impatiently. Elder Wu, come over here and tell me how they died. ”

"Yes!" As he spoke, Elder Wu grabbed his scalp and grabbed his head. Strands of hair fell from his fingers, crunchy like straw.

"Why are these corpses so fresh, it looks like they haven't been dead for more than a day..."

"That's not right!" The wolf shrieked, "The Shadow Forest is five days away, and by the time they were found, they had been dead for a long time. ”

"It's really not right..."Qi Rusong said.

Marven looked up at him, "Go on." ”

"Look... This blood. There was no bleeding from the severed limb, you see. For those who have just died, the blood will still flow before it clots into lumps. ”

Elder Wu immediately understood what he meant. He could see the broken blood vessels in the dead man's wrist, like iron worms in his pale muscles, blood frozen to black powder.

"If they had been dead for more than a day, they would have stinked to death by now. But they don't taste at all! Elder Wu asked.

"They didn't rot either, and they didn't have maggots on them. Moreover, they have been lying in the forest for so long, and yet ... but not bitten or eaten by animals... It can be said that it was unscathed. ”

The wolf reacted, "Yes, neither the horses nor the hounds want to go near their carcasses!" In the end, it was our human power to pull their bodies back. ”

The demon hunter disciples exchanged glances with each other, and everyone knew that this was true.

Marven frowned, the horses were timid, but the hounds who dared to fight the beast perhaps...

"Wild wolf, go and bring the hounds."

The wolf hurriedly complied, pulling the chain forward, but the hounds mostly whimpered and refused to move.

He tried to force one of them, but it resisted desperately, roaring and writhing in an attempt to break free from its collar, and finally lunged at him.

"Look at this again," Qi Rusong made another new discovery, "Look at this blood... There was blood on their clothes, and their skin was so dry and hard, that their wounds were so deep..., blood should be splattered everywhere! ”

Silence shrouded, and for a moment everyone could only hear Elder Wu's heavy breathing.

"It's a snow demon." Elder Wu announced the answer. "The snow demon's frost power can do it."

"It is also possible that the [Water Spirit Cultivator] who was possessed by the Crossing Demon was possessed," Qi Rusong said.

In addition to [Soul], there are also [Demon Spirit] cultivators such as [Thunder, Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind] in the Great Xia Kingdom. The strength is divided into, beginner, intermediate, high, demon, and big demon.

[Demon Spirit] is also rare among cultivators, and can only be comprehended by cultivating spiritual energy to a certain realm. In addition, the children of the five major families can also be obtained through the ancestral bloodline.

The power of [Demon Spirit] from ancient times to the present, one person can only have one kind of epiphany, and there are only two kinds of [Demon Spirit Power] at the same time, and there is only one lineage of the Great Xia Emperor Gu Clan.

"In that case! The master of the sect should now gather his disciples and go to the Ghost Forest to eliminate the demons. If necessary, you should ask for support from Prince Qi. Wild Wolf suggested.

"I've got my own measure."

"What about the corpse?" A Demon Hunter disciple asked.

"Burn them." Someone whispered.

"yes, burn it." Another voice urged.

Marven stubbornly shook his head, "I'm a disciple of the Demon Hunting Sect, and I have to settle down no matter what." With that, he turned and left.

Elder Wu let out a long sigh, and then said to Qi Rusong, "Rusong, wild wolf." You two buried the corpses of your disciples! ”

"Yes!" The two of them took the order.

After digging eight pits in the cemetery, the wolf couldn't help but curse. "We have to do this kind of menial work!"

"You go and rest." Qi Rusong smiled. "It's going to be a hard ride."

"Do you come by yourself?" The wolf laughed.

"Yes, go ahead!"

"Good brother! I will find you a jar of osmanthus wine in Panjia Restaurant. ”

With that, the wolf dropped the shovel, patted him on the shoulder, and turned away.

When there was no one around, Qi Rusong quietly stretched out his left hand and spread his palm.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

A powerful suction force sucked all the surrounding souls clean.

Suddenly, Qi Rusong felt that his whole body was wrapped in a cold air. He could clearly hear the pain of those souls before they died, but after the chill, it was more of the expansion of the blood veins brought by the soaring power.

I'm going to be strong, I'm going to get the punishment I deserve for the miscellaneousness that insulted my mother...
