Chapter 45: Origin
The so-called demon yuan refers to the demon pill that has not yet taken shape.
The Heavenly Demon was born with nine grades and brought its own Demon Pill, but after ordinary monsters were "infected" by the aura, they needed to go through a long and arduous evolutionary process before they could have the Demon Pill.
In this process, some monsters are blessed, and they may even have the foundation for the formation of the demon pill, that is, the demon yuan, since they were first infected, so their upgrade path will be much smoother. Of course, there are still many monsters, and it wasn't until the late stage of the seventh grade that a demon element finally appeared.
For example, the fox demon that Zhou Ang had killed before was already the eighth grade, but after death, there was no demon yuan out of the body.
The current Zhou Ang has a little more knowledge than at that time, so after the initial surprise, he quickly recognized that this was the demon yuan, and carefully handed out the paper cutter in his hand to stabilize it.
Uncle Zheng said that after the demon yuan is separated from the body, it can usually remain for thirty-six hours. After thirty-six hours, it will gradually evaporate, disperse, and merge back into the aura of heaven and earth.
To put it bluntly, the demon yuan is actually a highly condensed aura.
It's just that they've been solidified, or "objectified", and become part of the youkai.
These thirty-six hours are actually the process of gradually releasing the state of materialization and gradually returning to nature after losing the confinement of the body.
Uncle Zheng was a little disdainful of this thing, but after listening to his description, Zhou Ang knew that this thing was still very useful to himself at this stage.
Because this thing is "spiritual"!
As long as it can be successfully fused into a certain artifact, then there is a certain probability that it will retain the special abilities of the deceased former owner - to put it bluntly, the special abilities of the monsters come from it!
And even if it is not very successful in "melting", the super aura concentration of this thing can be completely "impregnated" to greatly change and enhance the characteristics of the container.
The simplest example is to make a sword that is not bad in nature sharper and harder.
So, of course it's a baby.
Carefully picking it up with the tip of the knife, Zhou Ang quickly untied the sachet on his belt, poured out the vanilla and other things that had been dried up inside, and took advantage of the gap between it and the weasel corpse slightly, and gently pocketed it.
At the same time, although the aura in his body had been consumed a lot, he still spared no expense to surround the cloth bag, and used the aura in his body to lay a small "net" to ensure that it would be bound in the bag.
After doing all this, Zhou Ang let out a sigh of relief.
But he still didn't dare to sit down and gasp for air.
This time, he is no longer the same person he was when he killed the fox demon.
With the paper cutter in his hand, he opened the weasel's ear, and he easily identified the so-called demon hair behind its ear - there was only one, which meant that it was just a nine-rank monster!
The Jiupin Monster actually has a demon element!
It's a pity, it's a pity!
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to run to Lingzhou City to do evil, and he happened to do evil to Chen Jing Shibo, and he caught up with this matter so coincidentally, presumably its upgrade path would be faster than many monsters!
But now, it has allowed itself to harvest a rather valuable demon element.
It's just that its corpse still has no extra value.
The biggest value, I'm afraid, is to send it to Zhu Gaojing and Gao Anping in Lingzhou County, so that he can take it as a credit for eliminating demons, and then go to the top to cheat a reward.
............
Finally finished disposing of the weasel spirit's corpse, Zhou Ang stood up.
The smell of burning cloth in the room was a bit loud, covering up the little bit of blood.
Zhou Ang's mind moved, and the little cloth that fell to the ground and was still burning all brushed with a "poof", extinguishing the flames, and then a small puff of black smoke rose.
Chen Jing was lying on the bed, still looking dumbfounded.
In other words, from the time Zhou Ang suddenly launched a counterattack and burned the weasel spirit by surprise, until Zhou Ang stood up after dealing with the demon yuan just now, it was just a few breaths - it had to be so fast, it was a monster after all, not to mention other abilities, the body alone was quite strong, if the speed was not fast enough, Zhou Ang would not necessarily become the final winner.
Therefore, Chen Jing has not recovered from what happened just now, it is normal.
"Shibo, are you alright?"
"I ...... I ......"
Chen Jing looked down in surprise again and glanced at the little weasel lying on the ground.
Finally, he sighed and said, "So he's really ......a monster!
Zhou Ang walked over, this time there was no stool, he simply sat down next to the couch and asked, "Shibo, what is going on?"
Chen Jing glanced at Zhou Ang with a somewhat complicated expression, sighed, and said, "It's all my fault......
So, he told the story of how he knew the weasel spirit from the beginning.
"A few days ago, I went out of the city to pay homage to my deceased wife, and when I saw her grave full of green grass, I couldn't help but feel something, and sat there for a while, and when I was about to get up and go home, I gathered the offerings, but suddenly I saw a weasel staring at me not far away, I didn't care, but suddenly I saw another one, they were actually in pairs, the little one snuggled up to the big one, it didn't look like father and son, mother and son, but like a husband and wife, both of them kept staring at my basket. ”
"I couldn't help but be a little ...... Some envious, he pulled a chicken leg from the basket and threw it to them. Unexpectedly, the big one took the chicken leg and made a gesture at me. I could not help but be amazed, and my sorrow faded for a moment, so I smiled and said to them, 'If you are still here next year, I will give you a chicken leg when I come back to the grave!' and then I went down the mountain. I didn't care. ”
"Who would have thought that three days ago, a couple of men and women suddenly knocked on the door, saying that they were old friends, my son was at home, so he invited them to enter the door, and sent someone to Chen's house to call me, I came back to see, but I didn't know each other. When I asked them, they smiled and said that they must have made friends, but they couldn't wait for next year, so they came to pick it up themselves. I was puzzled at first, but when he said that he thanked me for one of my chicken legs the other day, he was in a trance......"
"Their husbands and wives are powerful, and my son and I can only be human beings, and no one even responds to their cries for help. It's just that I've always been puzzled, and only now have I been convinced that there really are monsters in this world!"
Zhou Ang waited for him to finish and asked, "So, there are two of them, what about the other one? Also, where did the world brother go?"
Chen Jing said: "They entered my house, and the woman was going to eat our father and son directly, but this person ......" He pointed to the weasel corpse on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This demon said that young people must know many young people, so they threatened my life and forced my son to go out and invite his classmates and friends to come to the house!"
"I used the excuse that if I didn't go for a day, some people would be suspicious, so I specially sent my son to Chen's house to take sick leave, but they were very suspicious. Today, out of desperation, he has already taken the female monster out to invite his friends......"
When Zhou Ang heard this, he had already calculated in his heart.
In other words, this is a pair of youkai who killed a male and a female by themselves.
I just don't know how many products the mother has, and whether she has any special abilities.
According to Chen Jing's uncle, they didn't dare to be too arrogant in the city, so they planned to take the bait caught by this brother in Chen Jing's family and catch a few more people to eat.
In other words, whether they succeed or not, they will return today.
This courtyard is the nest they have chosen, and it is the place where they really want to do evil.
So, then, I have to hurry up and prepare, and I have to be ready to deal with the banshee before he returns!
On your own, or do you want to go out and find some help?
At this time, before Zhou Ang could think about it clearly, Chen Jing suddenly asked: "Virtuous nephew, I see that you have just made a strong move, haven't you been seen all these years, have you learned martial arts?" or ...... Have you learned the Tao?"
Zhou Ang smiled and was about to explain, but before the words could be spoken, suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
Both of them looked stunned.
Immediately, Chen Jing said: "It's not good! I'm afraid that my son and the banshee are back! I just don't know if I brought someone else." ”
Zhou Ang's scalp was numb instantly.
But at this moment, someone outside suddenly asked, "Dare to ask, is Brother Zi in the courtyard?"
