Xu Xian asked everyone to retreat a few zhang away, and he took a long stick and slowly pulled the burning dry wood into the hole.

Before he could get all the burnt wood in, a hissing sound came from the hole.

Then there was a suffocating fishy smell that spread quickly.

Xu Xian hurriedly jumped above the deep ditch and asked everyone to retreat farther away, while he and Li Gongfu stayed near the entrance of the cave, carefully watching the changes in it.

After a while, a white mist emerged from the hole, and the raging firewood was extinguished in an instant, and a layer of frost formed on the extinguished firewood.

After Xu Xian saw it, he secretly reminded: "This spirit is powerful, you all stay away, otherwise your lives will be lost." ”

When he shouted, everyone who was frightened ran into the distance.

Li Gongfu looked at the official who ran away, and hated that iron could not become steel: "Look at your bear-like appearance, what can you do? ”

Immediately, a servant retorted: "Li Tou, don't be joking, your younger brother is the reincarnation of the immortals, and he knows the means of the immortals, you are the brother-in-law of the immortals, so naturally he is not afraid, we are different from you, there are no immortal relatives, so we naturally have to run far away." ”

Li Gongfu wanted to scold a few more words, but when he turned his head and thought about it, what they said was quite reasonable, so he didn't say anything more.

"Hanwen, add a little oil, if you catch this monster again, I will catch two monsters who are causing trouble in the world, according to the standard of catching pharmacists in the Great Song Dynasty, I can apply to become a pharmacist, the status of catching pharmacists is much higher than that of catching heads, and the rights are also great, mainly because there are many offerings, and you can also get a bounty, and you must be a head catcher much freer." ”

Li Gongfu kept rubbing his hands and looked at Xu Xian beautifully.

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and said, "Demon hunter, and this industry, since it is a demon catcher, the danger level is much higher than that of a head catcher, right?" I'm afraid my sister doesn't agree." ”

Li Gongfu let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, I'm also worried about this, but I still have to give it a try, and when I catch this monster, I will hide from your sister to apply to be a demon hunter, and when the time comes, I can protect the peace of Qiantang County." ”

"That demon monk can't be considered a monster, right? Xu Xian reminded.

Li Gongfu smiled and said, "Hanwen, I've read a lot of things about demon hunters in the past few days, as long as the cultivators who harm ordinary civilians can be called demons, and the evil people you said are also within the scope of the demon hunters." ”

"Hanwen, can you hand over these skills you learned from Wang Daoling to your brother-in-law, the demon hunter can't only know the knife technique, right? Look at you just now, with a flick of your fingers, such a big fireball, quite handsome. ”

Li Gongfu looked at Xu Xian enviously, the action of blinking his fingers was too handsome, and it was also very effective, and a tiger could be burned to death.

Xu Xian's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, quickly retreat." ”

Xu Xian grabbed Li Gongfu and quickly retreated, and then saw a swarthy monster several zhang long, the thickness of a bucket, rushing out and running in another direction.

"Could it be a python spirit?" Li Gongfu looked at the fleeing black monster in surprise.

Xu Xian shook his head, said hello, and chased after him.

"Let's chase quickly, don't let the monster run, it shouldn't be a python spirit, this monster has no eyes and snake letters, I don't know what monster is. ”

Xu Xian secretly hated: "Damn, many methods can't be used openly, so I can only keep up first, find a chance for my brother-in-law to solve this monster, and by the way, satisfy his wish to be a demon hunter, and I can follow him to practice spells openly in the future." ”

The black monster was extremely fast, and Xu Xian and Li Gongfu were not slow, and they followed closely behind.

The strange man couldn't shake off the two of them, and slammed into a towering ancient tree.

"Is that monster going to commit suicide? Why did you hit the tree?" Li Gongfu looked at the black monster in surprise.

Xu Xian was also stunned, although they chased closely, they would not kill themselves.

To their surprise, the black monster disappeared abruptly when it hit the tree.

The two of them quickly approached the ancient tree, and after a closer look, the monster disappeared, and there was no monster corpse around the ancient tree at all.

Xu Xian said secretly: "Can this monster know the art of wood escape, can it escape by borrowing trees?"

"Brother-in-law, let's look for it separately, but it's too far away, if something happens, it's good to take care of each other, I'm afraid that if the monsters are broken, it will be troublesome. ”

Li Gongfu said: "I know, don't worry, as long as that monster dares to come out, I will kill him with one sword." ”

When Li Gongfu walked away, Xu Xian stretched out his hand and wiped it on the center of his eyebrows, and a vertical eye appeared in the middle of the eyebrows, emitting hundreds of millions of millimeters of light.

He raised his eyes, and a pale green demonic aura immediately appeared in his eyes, soaring into the sky.

This demonic aura was in a tree ten zhang away in front of him, and it merged with the ancient tree.

"The demon qi is pale green, only more than ten zhang high, this demon is not strong, but the escape technique is powerful, it should be the wooden shield technique in the five elements of the escape technique, in the woods, like a fish in water, if you want to catch it, it is very rare, you can only think of other ways. ”

Xu Xian saw through the hiding place of the monster, but the other party knew the technique of wooden shields, and hid in the woods, and he could change the hiding place at any time, which was extremely difficult to catch.

"Hanwen, have you found it?" Li Gongfu shouted in the distance.

Xu Xian said: "I haven't found it yet, I should know that I can't fight us, so I hid it." ”

"What then?"

"I can't help it, so let's take my time. ”

Xu Xian pretended to be aimless, and slowly approached the ancient tree where the monster was hiding.

When he came to the ancient tree a few feet away, he turned and walked in a different direction.

At the moment when he turned around, the monster moved, turned into an afterimage, and ran in the direction of Xu Xianlai.

Xu Xian snorted coldly and said secretly: "I really think I can't catch you?"

He looked around and was sure that there was no one else, and when he came to the monster's hiding place again, the invisible sword flew out in an instant, turning into a sword light and stabbing at the monster in the ancient tree.

The speed was as fast as thunder and lightning, and before the monster could escape, the invisible sword had already pierced through the tree.

"Hiss, roar, ......"

A frightened roar was heard, and a black monster several feet long and the size of a bucket fell out of the tree.

The monster was slashed by Xu Xian's invisible sword, and could no longer hide in the ancient tree, and could not use the escape technique, so he could only run forward desperately.

Wisps of fishy stench kept coming out of the monster's wounds, and pieces of rotten flesh fell down.

Xu Xian injected Yuanguang mana into the invisible sword body, and this mana was extremely damaging to the monsters that had not yet transformed.

Even if Xu Xian doesn't make any more moves, the monster will slowly be eroded by the Yuanguang mana and die.

Hearing the roar, Li Gongfu yelled: "Monster, where to escape." ”

He ran from a distance as fast as he could, saw the youkai running towards a tree, gritted his teeth, and threw the horizontal knife in his hand.

"Whew......"

"Poof......

The horizontal knife was inserted right into the head of the youkai, and the black youkai shook its head a few times and lay directly on the ground.

Li Gongfu stepped forward, pulled out the horizontal knife, and put the knife into the sheath.

The head stabbed by the horizontal knife began to fester, and a pungent stench came.

The scorching sun sword technique practiced by Li Gongfu already has a breath of extreme rigidity and yang, and it is the most restrained against monsters.

"Hmph, a little monster dares to come to Qiantang to do evil? ”

Li Gongfu covered his nose with one hand and provoked the monster on the ground with a stick in the other, wanting to see what it was.

Xu Xianti ran quickly with a horizontal knife, convinced that after the monster died, he stretched out his thumb to Li Gongfu.

"Brother-in-law, you are such a cow, you have killed another monster, it seems that there is hope for catching the pharmacist. ”

Li Gongfu smiled proudly, and then looked at Xu Xian suspiciously: "Hanwen, how did you find the monster?

Xu Xian hurriedly said: "It's a coincidence that I can find the monster, the monster I remember finally disappeared into the ancient tree, so I used a horizontal knife to chop the ancient tree, I didn't expect to be stabbed by me once, you see the wound, the same as what you stabbed." ”

The wound has long been decomposed and deformed, where can you still tell what the wound is.

Looking at the other wound that was slowly rotting, Li Gongfu nodded and said, "Hanwen, I see that you also have the talent to be a pharmacist, why don't you apply to be a pharmacist with your brother-in-law." ”

Xu Xian's head immediately shook like a rattle: "No, my ambition is to be a doctor, practice medicine to save people, not to kill demons, I just want to live an ordinary life." ”

"Cut, I didn't say it, but it's good to practice medicine, and it has great merit to help the world. ”

At this time, all the officials who had run away just now ran over and turned the monster over, and found that there was only one mouth, no eyes and no claws.

"This is a tree root, right?" Xu Xian looked at the huge monster shape and remembered the root of the tree demon grandmother in A Chinese Ghost Story.

Hearing Xu Xian's words, everyone was stunned, and then felt chills all over their bodies.

Just one root is so powerful, so how powerful should the whole tree be?
