At this time, Steward Chen's body suddenly changed.

His whole body trembled violently, his skin swelled and cracked, the whites of his eyes disappeared, and his teeth became sharp and sharp.

A pair of jet-black eyes shimmered green in the moonlight.

"Wow~~"

With a wolf-like roar, Steward Chen's body swelled, the appearance of the human being was broken, and the flesh and blood fell off piece by piece.

When Shen Lian and Yu Jingting rushed out of the room, Steward Chen had completely lost his human appearance and turned into a wolf-like creature, but it was larger, like a calf, with mottled patterns on its body and a single horn on its forehead.

"Devil-horned wolf?"

Yu Jingting was shocked, and the silver moon spear in her hand stabbed out with spear flowers, and directly took the head of the devil-horned wolf.

The devil-horned wolf moved flexibly, bowed down to dodge the silver moon spear, quickly rushed to the courtyard, ran to the edge of the courtyard wall, jumped hard, and escaped over the wall.

"Chase."

Yu Jingting screamed, took the lead over the wall, and chased out following the trail of the devil-horned wolf.

Shen Lian came back to his senses and jumped to follow.

Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu followed.

"What is a devil-horned wolf?" Shen Lian asked.

"A kind of demon clan of the Western Demon Court, mainly entrenched at the foot of Tu Mountain, advocating human society, and likes to blend in in human form." Yu Jingting explained simply.

"But the devil-horned wolf generally only operates on the border of Dayu and the territory of the Buddha Kingdom, how can it appear in the capital?" Jin Yuze asked.

"We'll find out when we catch him and ask." Shen Lian quickened his pace and caught up with Yu Jingting in front.

The devil-horned wolf did not stay in Hujiagou Village, and after rushing out of the village, he fled straight to Jindou Mountain, which was not far away.

He kept shuttling through the mountains and forests, trying to get rid of the pursuit of Shen Lian and a few people.

But the twists and turns of the mountain road and the lush trees seriously affected the speed of the devil-horned wolf.

Shen Lian, Yu Jingting and others are all masters of tracking, especially Yu Jingting has the cultivation of the late stage of Yaoguang, and the sensitivity of the six senses is no less than that of the devil-horned wolf.

Not only did the distance between the two sides not widen, but the devil-horned wolf had a tendency to be faintly caught up.

Sensing the growing threat behind him, the Devil-Horned Wolf became more and more panicked.

After a circle at the foot of the mountain, the Devil-Horned Wolf changed his strategy and rushed along the mountain forest to the top of the mountain.

"The beast is ready to go up the hill, and it follows." Yu Jingting, who was chasing at the front, reminded the three men behind her loudly.

Jindoushan is a mine, rich in flame nitrate, and the villagers of the surrounding ten miles and eight towns can get a good income by mining flame nitrate.

The miners who disappeared in Hujiagou Village were the workers who mined flame nitrate on Jindou Mountain.

The Devil-Horned Wolf finally stopped at the mountainside, and when Shen Lian and the four of them chased after him, they saw the Devil-Horned Wolf preparing to enter the mine in front of them.

"The mine is full of directions, don't let him in." Shen Lian shouted anxiously.

"Look at me."

Yu Jingting stepped on the trunk of the tree in front of her, jumped high and climbed the treetops with the help of her strength, and threw the silver moon spear at the devil-horned wolf with all her might.

The Silver Moon Spear burst into the wind with a whistling sound, and the Devil-Horned Wolf's hair stood on end, and it rolled to the side instinctively.

Bang!

Just now, his position was accurately hit by the Silver Moon Spear, and the entire ground was shattered by this blow.

The devil-horned wolf lay on the ground, his eyes widened, and his heart was terrified.

This woman is terrible!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Lian, Jin Yuze, and Zhou Tianlu quickly stepped forward and put on a triangular formation, surrounding the devil-horned wolf.

"The bold demon clan is actually making trouble in the capital, I advise you to give up resistance and be tried by the official Huiying Secret Guard." Jin Yuze held a pair of short swords in his hand, looked at the devil-horned wolf, and shouted.

Yu Jingting jumped down from the treetops, walked forward quickly, pulled out the silver moon spear inserted in the ground, and stood behind the three of them to sweep the formation.

"Hehe, the tiny human race also wants to interrogate Uncle Ben?" The devil-horned wolf spoke, his eyes swept over several people one by one, and finally froze here at Shen Lian.

Madefaq! This brute wants to break through from me!

Shen Lian felt the gaze of the devil-horned wolf, and his heart felt bad.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Devil-Horned Wolf roared and rushed towards Shen Lian.

"Be careful!" Yu Jingting was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

According to her observations, the Demon Horn Wolf has the strength of the late stage of the Cave Ming Realm, and Shen Lian has just broken through to the Cave Ming Realm, so he is not the opponent of the Demon Horn Wolf at all.

Changhong's sword was unsheathed: "Poof! ”

The devil-horned wolf screamed: "Ah~hew~"

Shen Lian sighed: "Groove...."

Seeing the devil-horned wolf grinning at him, Shen Lian didn't say a word, and pulled out the Changhong sword to meet the enemy.

Unexpectedly, this sword was too powerful, and with a surging purple-gold sword qi, the Demon Horned Wolf was actually split in half.

Everything happened between the calcium carbide sparks, and even Shen Lian himself didn't react.

When he came back to his senses, the Devilhorn Wolf was lifeless.

Yu Jingting stepped forward and gently pushed the corpse of the demon horned wolf that was cut in two with the silver moon spear, and after confirming that the other party was dead, she looked at Shen Lian with a shocked expression, specifically at the Changhong Sword in his hand.

"Your sword.... Where did it come from? Yu Jingting asked.

"Didn't the emperor tell you about it?" Shen Lian put the Changhong Sword into the scabbard, and his heart was excited.

Peerless Divine Soldier! That's great!

"No, I mean, who made this sword?" Yu Jingting walked to Shen Lian's side, and the surprise in her heart had not all disappeared.

"I don't know, the emperor didn't tell me."

Shen Lian was telling the truth, when the emperor gave him the sword, he really didn't say the source of the sword.

Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu were also shocked by Shen Lian's sword, their mouths opened wide, their chins almost hit the instep of their feet, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the three of them, Shen Lian was very satisfied.

Invisibly, there is a comparison, hehe.

He put his hands behind his back, pretending to be a master of the world, circled around the corpse of the devil-horned wolf, pointed to the mine next to him, and said: "It is impossible for the devil-horned wolf to run here for no reason, remember Zhang Yuanwai's statement, the monster claims to be going to do a big thing, let's go into the mine to see?" ”

Yu Jingting walked to the side of the mine, wrinkled her nose and sniffed, nodded and said, "As far as I know, there is a flame nitrate mine on Jindou Mountain, it seems that this is it." ”

"Flames?" Hearing these two words, Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu immediately frowned, and the surprise caused by the previous appearance of Shen Lian in front of the saint immediately disappeared, replaced by a kind of vigilance.

Flame nitrate is the raw material for the manufacture of gunpowder, Dayu is not as developed as the science and technology of later generations, gunpowder is prohibited here, the production method is strictly confidential, only the imperial court can make and use, even the local government is not qualified.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the management of flame nitrate, and there is a special organization responsible for the purchase of flame nitrate ore.

Shen Lian couldn't help frowning.

Flame nitrate, gunpowder, if the demon clan occupies this mine, combined with what the demon horned wolf said to do a big thing, the words terrorist attack suddenly appeared in Shen Lian's mind.

At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the Flame Mine Cave, followed by a bloody demonic wind blowing out of it.

Shen Lian and the others shuddered, their bodies began to tremble involuntarily, their hearts beat faster, and they almost jumped to their throats.

They looked at the mine with wary eyes, and slowly retreated.

There is a big demon in the mine!
