This is a wolf demon, male.

At first, a little clue was discovered by the informant below, and the official practitioner of the Yamen then intervened, and soon determined his identity and living habits.

The strength of this demon should be the ninth grade, but whether it is the informant or the official cultivator, Liu Rui, who led the team to confirm, has an evaluation of it: it is quite dangerous.

Because this guy not only has great strength, but also has a pair of sharp claws, which are said to be as hard as steel in an instant, and can easily scratch deep claw marks on large stones. And this demon is quite ferocious and cunning by nature.

This guy often steals pigs from residents in a few fangs in the south to eat, but in comparison, it is clear that he still prefers to eat the many wandering warblers and half-hidden doors on the south bank of the Lingjiang River in Dashiqiaofang.

As for saying that he is treacherous, it is because this guy has to go out of the city to commit a crime every half a month, run dozens of miles away, create a killing, and expose his identity as a wolf demon, but when he kills someone, he runs away, and he doesn't eat- In the past six months, the county Zhu Yamen has received many reports on this kind of case, and it is still being investigated, but it has been difficult to capture the traces of this guy, because everyone has been misjudging that it is a wild wolf that has just become a demon wandering outside the city, and it doesn't know how to cultivate, and it is purely by nature that he likes to kill.

But after discovering its existence, the county Zhu Yamen quickly linked the disappearance of many wandering warblers in Dashiqiaofang with the attack and murder outside the city, and soon completely locked its whereabouts.

Then came the hunting.

At present, Zhou Ang and Chen Tuo are on the side of the county Zhu Yamen, and there are a total of ten cultivators, and all of them are dispatched this time.

First of all, of course, it's because of the effort to be foolproof, considering the ferocity of this wolf demon, considering that it may be an eighth-rank monster, and so on.

But there is also a very important point, that is, monsters are not so easy to say that they can be discovered, once one is found, everyone needs to share a little credit, even if it is just a little sense of participation.

For official cultivators, killing demons is an extremely heavy credit.

The corpses of monsters, especially the Demon Pill and the Demon Yuan, are almost top-level seizures.

In the performance evaluation standards of the official cultivators at all levels of the yamen, even if they crack a certain conspiracy of a secret sect such as the Spring Breeze Society and the Yulan Sect, kill a few, capture a few, rescue a few, etc., it is considered a considerable case, but unless it reaches the level of an important person like Li Ming or Han Zhen, otherwise, in the performance appraisal system, its score must be inferior to that of killing demons.

Killing an eighth-order illusionist of the Magnolia Sect and seizing their small iron plates, this credit can only be signed by two people at most, and no matter how much it is, it won't give much credit. The "Lei Zhen Lei Beard" at the time of the arrest, because he was only found to be the ninth order, so he could only write one person's name at the top of the sky.

It doesn't matter how much evil the other party has done or how many people they have killed, it is all the same.

But killing a nine-rank monster is enough to list the names of five people, and everyone has merit to gain, if it is like the last time he hunted the weasel demon, and he also got a demon yuan after killing, then he can list all the names of the eight official cultivators of the county Zhu Yamen at that time. As well as scouts, archers, etc., all of them can have ordinary credit to share the profits.

Otherwise, a dead nine-rank fox demon in the inn would not be worthy of Gao Jing and Liu Wei, the county secretary of the county Zhu Yamen, who would personally end up and have a dispute.

In Zhou Ang's understanding, monsters are the natural enemies of human beings!

The Spring Breeze Society, the Magnolia Sect, the Tongtian Sect, etc., no matter how bad they are, they are only the disease of mustard, and the monster is the enemy of life and death of human beings for thousands of years.

The former is a criminal, and the latter is life or death.

............

This round-up, from beginning to end, was completely under the control of the official cultivators.

Zhou Ang, like Gao Jing, each took control of one direction and was responsible for the entire arrest operation.

The wolf demon is indeed fierce and cunning, and its combat effectiveness is quite strong, but it is a professional demon hunting team that is responsible for capturing it with tacit understanding, rich experience, and has basically figured out its details.

Therefore, there was no need for Gao Jing and Zhou Ang to make a move, this guy had already been cut off by Fang Jun's heavy sword, and his head was cut off with one sword.

No one was injured, but the earthen walls of the two families were collapsed, and no one dared to go over to entangle and investigate the case when it was said that the government was handling the case, but when the matter was over, Wei Ci still represented the county to wish the yamen to go over, and the family paid 500 yuan for them to repair it themselves.

In the end, everyone was happy.

July is about to pass, and this is the first demon corpse harvested by the county Zhu Yamen.

It is said that there is no great merit, and this monster is only nine products, and when it is reported, it is impossible to fill in Zhou Ang's name, maybe the subsequent reward will be divided into five taels or ten taels of silver, but for Zhou Ang, it is all secondary.

What's more, just participating in, in fact, just watching his comrade-in-arms kill a wolf demon, but Zhou Angna's cultivation, which had been stagnant for more than half a month, suddenly showed signs of activity again.

In addition to the surprise, Zhou Ang suddenly came to the fighting spirit unconsciously.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, or before Li Ming's case came out, Zhou Ang had already learned from the old servant of the old man Lu Duan's house that there should be a lot of monsters hidden in Lingzhou City, and the other party had even woken up and asked the county to wish the yamen "time to clean up", and Zhou Ang also knew that killing demons could greatly help his cultivation, but it was too difficult to find monsters.

In the county, there are official cultivators who have taken root in the city for many years, and there are a large number of informants below who can provide all kinds of clues, and it is still extremely difficult to find and lock a monster, not to mention that Zhou Ang is just a light commander.

Therefore, for the matter of killing demons, the difficulty is never to kill, but to find - although the combat power of the monsters is often not weak, it is not easy to kill.

............

After everything was cleaned up, in the evening of the same day, Fang Jun, who must have already received the first credit, had a treat, and everyone rubbed happily in the second hall, everyone drank some wine, and dispersed in the evening.

Zhou Ang had already sent Lu Chunsheng to pick him up, and he was about to leave the yamen after dispersing his wine at the moment, but he still saw Lu Jin waiting at the door, Zhou Ang didn't say anything, just laughed, and greeted Lu Jin together, and the two walked home.

It will be almost a month to enter the Yamen, and under Guo Yuan's management, although it is impossible for him to really touch the core things, and the county Zhu Yamen has not done any major cases in the past month, Lu Jin still gradually understands the particularity of the county Zhu Yamen, but looking at his appearance, there is no intention to retreat.

chatted all the way back, and asked him a lot of questions, this big man was sincere, what to ask and what to answer, although he did not hide it, but he was by no means a good chat partner.

When he returned home, Zhou Ang went to the backyard to greet his mother, and then was sent back by Zhou Cai's to rest early, but in fact, Zhou Ang didn't drink much. After taking a cool shower in the yard, he changed into a pair of shorts, and although he was crooked on the bed, he couldn't sleep.

So I simply ran to the study again, lit the lamp and read.

Up to now, he has seen nearly sixty volumes of his "Book of Han", and I have to say that while his knowledge has increased, he has also picked up a lot of very enlightening materials from this book.

So it wasn't a chore for him.

It was quite enjoyable for him to take out some clues from the seemingly ordinary historical materials, sort them out and associate them in a coherent manner, and deduce the ups and downs of some cultivators and secret sects hundreds of years ago.

So once he starts reading, he is often able to settle down very quickly and be very focused.

This look was not until a candle burned to the end that he stopped.

Outside the window, it was already dark and dark.

There were dozens of mosquitoes, trying to rush into the brightly lit room at the window again and again, but they couldn't get in.

There is no moon or stars outside the window, just an oppressive gloom.

It seems like another heavy rain is brewing.

Stretching his waist, Zhou Ang closed the book in his hand, subconsciously picked up the mirror at hand, rubbed it for a moment, picked it up with the bamboo card, blew out the lamp, got up and went back to the bedroom, and put everything under the pillow.

As he lay down in bed to sleep, he couldn't help but think that if only the mirror could help him find the monsters in the city.

Unfortunately, after various experiments in the past period, in addition to the limitation of scope, the "vision" of the mirror seems to only help you find and lock the people you already know, or at least know, but you can't take the initiative to help yourself "discover" something.

In this regard, Zhou Ang believes that his current strength is too weak.

Because judging from the strength shown by the mirror in past events, this should be within the scope of its business, so it can only be that its own strength is too low to mobilize this part of its function.

However, this just forms a dead knot: I need to kill demons to improve my cultivation, but it is not easy to find, and if I can't find it, I can only slowly boil and cultivate slowly, and if my strength improves slowly, I can't call this part of the function of the mirror.

The perfect dead knot.

Zhou Ang sighed, but quickly reined in his spirit and closed his eyes.

Thoughts flashed through his head, but he quickly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and the vigilance in his subconscious made him overcome the greed for sleep in his mind and opened his eyes all of a sudden.

Then, all of a sudden, he froze there.

In front of me was a lush forest, and I was in the middle of it, wearing only a large pair of pants, lying on a large bluestone under the tree.

"Where is this?"
