"Here we are."

Chen Mu's face was calm, his body did not move, but his eyes first looked ahead, and then his eyes moved quickly and turned to the left.

Almost exactly the next moment.

Accompanied by a fierce and vicious wind, a white giant wolf with a silvery-white body and a huge body almost reaching the chest of a person suddenly appeared, not rushing from the ground, but from top to bottom, from the top of an ancient tree on Chen Mu's left, and fiercely and viciously pounced directly on Xu Hongyu who was standing on Chen Mu's left hand.

Swish!

Xu Hongyu stood in place with a calm face, the soft sword in his hand shook slightly, and the sword body trembled and shook out a sword flower, setting off a rain-like curtain of light in the air, facing the falling white wolf demon.

The white wolf demon raised his right limb, and the front end suddenly flashed thick and silver-glowing claws, and slashed down fiercely, colliding with the sword curtain swung by Xu Hongyu, and in an instant, sparks flew everywhere, bursting out with a sound like a sword collision.

The sword curtain exploded.

The white wolf demon's entire right limb was shocked, as if it could not bear that power, and it soared backwards in the air, falling a zhang away, while Xu Hongyu took two steps back, the soft sword in his hand retracted and swept back diagonally, removing the residual strength, and cutting a ravine crack on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Hongyu swung a beam of sword light again, and the whole person took the initiative to attack and fight with the white wolf demon.

Xiao He clenched the soft sword, but she didn't rush forward, she saw that the strength of this white wolf demon was not very strong, Xu Hongyu was enough to deal with, and it happened to be an opponent suitable for Xu Hongyu to hone her qi and blood swordsmanship.

Martial arts cultivation, whether it is quenching or practicing, is often not behind closed doors to achieve the ultimate state, Xu Hongyu stepped into the Yijin consummation, and the opponent with the same strength, can not only activate her own qi and blood, but also sharpen the sword skills, she can so quickly from the Yijin Dacheng to the Yijin consummation, and the entire 'Great Cold' is inseparable from the demon hunting outside.

Think of it.

Xiaohe couldn't help but peek at Chen Mu again, his eyes were a little strange.

Only Chen Mu ...... In her impression, it seems that she is either working in the City Guard Division, or she is cultivating on her own behind closed doors, in this case, she can enter the realm like a god, and even comprehend the artistic conception, and the gap between people is really incalculable.

Chen Mu stood aside with his hands in his hands at this time, his eyes calmly watching the battle between Xu Hongyu and the White Wolf Demon, compared to the previous encounter with the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, this time Xu Hongyu exerted his strength, the two sword momentum were intertwined, there were almost no flaws, although the White Wolf Demon was stronger than Xu Hongyu in terms of speed and strength, but it was always pressed and beaten by Xu Hongyu.

One man and one wolf quickly fought viciously for more than a dozen rounds.

Xu Hongyu's cold eyes, a glimmer of light, in the fierce battle, the sword momentum changed, from the waving curtain turned into a drizzle, in an instant from the white wolf demon's claws shuttled, hitting its pupils.

"Whew!!"

The white wolf demon let out a painful roar, and the right eyeball suddenly splashed with blood.

Receiving this blow, its mania subsided a lot in its remaining left eye, and when it looked at Xu Hongyu, it actually revealed humanized jealousy and hatred, and then suddenly swung out a claw, tore through the curtain of Xu Hongyu's sword, and with a twist, it rushed to the depths of the jungle.

It walked like the wind, and immediately escaped from Xu Hongyu's attack range.

Xu Hongyu spit out a breath of turbidity, and immediately raised his sword to chase after him, but his speed was not as good as that of the white wolf demon, and he chased at full speed in the dense forest, but he could still only see his figure fleeing farther and farther.

But just when it seemed that he couldn't catch up, a figure quietly swept from above, came directly above the white wolf demon, and fell in an arc.

Rumble!!!

Chen Mu didn't draw his knife, but raised his fist in the air with a flat look, and the fist slammed down, hitting the head of the white wolf demon, and smashed the huge giant wolf at once, and the whole head fell down suddenly, like an upside-down onion, and was planted into the soil with a bang, and the running torso was raised straight up, as if it was directly wedged into the ground.

Xiaohe silently covered her eyes with her two little hands.

It's brutal.

With his physique alone, he can shake the white wolf demon violently...... How can the young lady stand it in the future?

Whew!

The head of the white wolf demon was planted in the ground, the limbs were straight, but it was not dead, and soon it moved again, and the claws of the limbs were swaying in the air, which looked very funny, and finally pulled out the head, but it seemed that it was still in a mess, neither knowing how to escape, nor what to do, only shaking its head in place constantly, shaking off the slag on the hair.

Xu Hongyu's figure was close at this time, the whole person was quietly short, a sliding shovel swept under the head of the white wolf demon, and the soft sword in his hand hit the throat of the white wolf demon straight, and a little blood line opened silently.

The white wolf demon's huge body froze for a moment, then shook twice, and finally fell.

Sou.

Xu Hongyu put away the sword and stood, went straight to the corpse of the white wolf demon, skillfully swung the sword, a sword pierced its chest, the tip of the sword was lightly picked, and the right hand snorted into it, and when it was withdrawn, the tip of the plain finger that was red with blood appeared, a blood-colored object about the size of a baby's finger and a prismatic shape appeared.

"Give."

As soon as Xu Hongyu raised his hand, this blood-colored crystal flew towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu grabbed it as soon as he stretched out his hand, and stared at it: "Is this the blood essence of the monster......

Blood essence is the most quintessential part of the demon's qi and blood, generally only second-order monsters occasionally have, third-order and above are mostly there, and martial artists above the flesh can directly swallow and refine, which can nourish their own qi and blood.

Generally, it can only be eaten directly, because the blood essence is dispersed quickly, if it is not peeled off at the first time, it will quickly dissolve in the blood of the monster, even if it is peeled off at the first time, there is no extremely high-quality cold jade, it cannot be stored, and it will dissipate in the world for a period of time.

This thing shouldn't be of any use to me.

Such a thought flashed in Chen Mu's heart, but after all, it was the first contact, he thought about it for a while, but swallowed it, and soon a warm current swept away from his abdomen, flowing all over his body, so that his whole body was surrounded by this warmth.

But after a long while, until the warmth faded, the qi and blood on his body did not become more vigorous, it was still the same as before, only slightly replenished some of the lost qi, making the qi and blood more active.

I shook my head slightly.

Chen Mu was not surprised by this.

He has reached the limit of the three realms of skin grinding, meat training, and easy tendons, and has reached the realm of tiger and leopard thunder, and muscles and flesh are singing together, and his qi and blood have already reached the extreme that can be accommodated at present, far beyond ordinary people.

Only people like Xu Hongyu and Xiaohe, whose qi and blood have not been condensed to the limit of a realm, can only take this kind of blood essence to improve their qi and blood in small amounts, so that the cultivation of the body quenching method can be faster, and it will be less difficult to impact a higher realm.

Xu Hongyu quickly disposed of the corpse of the white wolf demon, the speed of the technique and the skillful action made Chen Mu a little breathtaking, and after an instant, it was handled neatly and neatly, using a whole piece of leather of the white wolf demon, it was made into a big burden, and all the wolf bones, wolf claws and other things were sorted out and wrapped one by one.

Then as soon as the jade hand was raised, she carried this burden that was bigger than her on her back, and looked at Chen Mudao:

"Alright, we can go back to the errand."

“……”

The corners of Chen Mu's mouth trembled slightly, feeling that Xu Hongyu's appearance at this time was quite funny, but Xu Hongyu herself didn't seem to be aware of it, turned around as usual, and walked towards the way back.

Seeing Xu Hongyu's figure walking farther and farther, Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head and followed up.

Xiaohe covered his mouth and snickered, but he didn't dare to say anything, quietly followed the side, several people walked all the way, and it didn't take long for them to go out of the mountain forest, and the blazing sunlight was finally no longer blocked by the leaves of the dense forest, and fell on the three of them.

"How much merit is a white-level mission?"

Chen Mu walked next to Xu Hongyu and asked about the meritorious affairs of the Demon Slaying Division.

"The task itself is a hundred merits, and then it depends on what the monster is, if the white wolf demon is a white wolf demon, one should be an additional five hundred merits."

Xu Hongyu said after a little thought.

Chen Mu showed a thoughtful look, he had understood before, from the Demon Slaying Division to exchange for the Bone Forging Pill, one copy of 20,000 meritorious merits, one is about thirty grains, which can be used for three months, and each Demon Slaying Division Guard can be exchanged for three times at most.

This is actually the past regulation of the Great Xuan Imperial Court.

Compared with Yi Jin, the threshold of forging bones is not as difficult as Yi Jin, and the biggest problem for martial artists here is often that they are over thirty years old, and the activity of qi and blood is gradually not as good as when they were young, which is an obstacle to entering the bone forging process.

If you exchange it for the Bone Forging Pill three times, you can't get past it three times, then it will probably be the time when your qi and blood will decline, and you won't have much chance to be among the Bone Forging Pills again, and there is no point in exchanging more, but it's a waste of resources.

If the task of hunting a white wolf demon is 600 merits,

20,000 meritorious deeds,

A little bit more.

A monster like the White Wolf Demon needs to hunt more than thirty heads, which is thirty missions, and judging from the fact that the process before and after this time takes about six or seven days, it will take more than half a year for Xu Hongyu to get a Bone Forging Pill from the Demon Slaying Division, and he also has to ensure that every task can be completed without accidents.

Of course, if you can encounter that kind of one, the number is relatively large, more than ten or twenty at a time, then you can get a lot of merit at one time...... But the problem is that if the average white-clothed guard really leads the team to bump into a dozen or twenty white wolf demons, let alone hunting, it is a question whether he can escape.

However, he can easily solve it, and a monster like the White Wolf Demon is no different from one head and ten heads.

It was only this time that I tracked all the way over the mountains and mountains to find a head.

Unless it is a celestial phenomenon such as a great cold and a great drought, which causes a wide range of monsters to fall into a manic state and appear, it is difficult to get a large number of merits in a short period of time, so it is no wonder that when it was cold last year, a large number of people from all over the city went out of the city to hunt demons, and even Xu Hongyu, who was still serving as the chief secretary of Nancheng District, temporarily left his post and dispatched.

And just when Chen Mu was thinking about it.

Xiao He, who had been following him, suddenly waved his little hand and fanned himself, and said, "Alas, how can today's day feel much hotter than yesterday." ”

Chen Mu came back to his senses, glanced at the distance, and suddenly said faintly: "I'm afraid it's not just a matter of being a little hotter." ”

Distance

A river is surging.

Only a day earlier, when they had passed here, the river had been wide, two or three feet long, and now it had shrunk by nearly half, revealing a large bare bank.

Xu Hongyu was slightly stunned when she looked at this scene, and said, "The drought ......"

Chen Mu shook his head and said: "There was a big cold at the beginning of the year, a big drought in the middle of the year, and this year is a year of many disasters. ”

The great cold was followed by the great drought, which is undoubtedly a continuation of the disaster year.

The drought is coming, he has also had it in his memory, although it will not last as long as the cold, but it will take at least half a month or even a month, every household has prepared enough water tanks in advance, but there will be no risk of dying of thirst, but the crops planted will destroy a season, and the other is the activity of a large number of monsters.

However, because it happens every few years, it is not an extremely serious situation, but just like the previous time when it was cold, the people of all divisions, including the Demon Slayer Division, will take action.

Let's talk about it.

Chen Mu glanced at Xiaohe again and said, "Look, God punished you here, you seem to have committed a lot of sins in your previous life." ”

Xiaohe opened a pair of innocent big eyes, shrank next to Xu Hongyu, and stuck out her tongue.

"Let's go, go back to An Yu first."

Xu Hongyu retracted her gaze and said solemnly: "The drought is coming, don't rush back to the county town in a hurry, just stay in An Yu first, and the county town will also send more people to An Yu." ”

The big drought is coming, the thing is not big, it can't reach the extent that the sky falls, it's not small, not to mention that this season's crops will be ruined, and the monsters that infest everywhere also need more manpower to suppress it, basically it will be the same as when the big cold at the beginning of the year, in the name of the demon slaying division, temporarily recruit the people of each division, including the people of each family, will also take action.
