Chapter 426 Growth and Breakthrough
Half an hour later.
Shen Ping and others chased the wolf demon's lair. From the outside, it looked like a very ordinary mountain col. However, after entering the cave, they found that it was very deep inside. The cave was winding and rugged, with many branching roads formed like a spider web. , if you don’t have some means, you will definitely get lost here.
Those wolf demons escaped here, so they naturally didn't have to worry about members of the Demon Suppression Department chasing them.
There is a fishy smell everywhere in the cave.
Lian Nishang wrinkled her little face, feeling very uncomfortable.
In fact, you can use the power of blood to hold back your sense of smell, but if you do this, you will lose track of the wolf demon. Although Yan Jin and other old members have other means, they can only rely on smell and after chasing more than a dozen side roads. Discern by experience.
Ouch!
Just when they came to another fork in the road and didn't know how to make a decision, a wolf roar came from the depths of a fork in the road.
"Chase!"
Yan Jin immediately shouted.
Shen Ping frowned, "Brother Yan, it's possible that the wolf demon lured the tiger away from the mountain and deliberately lured us in through this fork in the road."
Yan Jin shook his head, "Even if we know it's the wolf demon's temptation now, we still have to catch up. There are five forks around us. We can't separate, otherwise we'll fall into a trap."
Chen Keye also said: "Yes, little brother Shen, when facing these monsters, you must remember not to act separately. We in the Demon Suppression Department have suffered losses in this area before. If this branch of the road doesn't work, then go back. If you take another side road, you would rather waste more time than risk your own life."
Shen Ping understood.
As long as their team stays together, no matter how many wolf demons there are, they will not pose any threat to them. On the contrary, if they act separately, the wolf demons can defeat them one by one.
So the group of people immediately went deep along the branch road where the wolf roared just now.
Only half a cup of tea.
They saw the wolf demon. This wolf demon was extremely fast, and because it was familiar with the terrain, it kept them behind. Even the wind element Chen Ke couldn't catch up.
Shen Ping has already broken through to the fourth level, and is not far away from the fifth level bloodline. If he really pursues with all his strength, he can catch up, but he does not stand out too much. After all, he follows Yan Jin here to go on a mission, mainly to kill. Accumulate experience and wait until he can hunt monsters alone in the future, then he will be able to show off his strength as he pleases.
However, Lian Nishang had no such thoughts. She chased after him for a while. At a fork in the road, she seized the opportunity to use her water bloodline ability to slow down the wolf demon.
"good!"
See the situation.
Yan, Jin, Chen Ke and the other three were overjoyed and hurriedly chased after the wolf demon and killed it.
After walking forward for a while, the fishy smell in the air became lighter.
"go back."
In this way, the group of people wasted a full two days in the cave deep in the mountain. Relying on Lian Nishang and Shen Ping's occasional use of bloodline abilities, they killed five of the remaining wolf monsters.
“Damn it, these monsters are so cunning!”
“Now I wonder if this place is the wolf demon’s lair!”
Chen Ke gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Yantou, what should I do?"
During this period, they returned to the mountain col. The peripheral members of Jizhen who were guarding there were not attacked by the wolf demon. Apparently the wolf demon was still in the cave deep inside, or there were other exits to the mountain col.
“We don’t have enough dry food, so we need to go back to town first.”
Yan Jin made a decision.
Come to Jizhen.
They moved into the arranged courtyard, and after a good meal, they discussed how to deal with these wolf monsters.
The simplest way is to go to the county's Demon Town Department to apply for demon hunting powder. This powder, when sprinkled on the monster, will leave an aura that can be sensed with the power of blood. It, together with the rhinoceros tung oil, are all former demon hunting members. It comes standard, but if you want to use it now, you must apply.
But just to hunt down a wolf demon that is not yet the third level, Lieutenant Lei will definitely not agree to use the demon chasing powder.
"wait."
“Wait for those wolf demons to come out on their own initiative.”
night.
Inside the house.
Shen Ping and Lian Nishang sat opposite each other.
Lian Nishang's white and tender little hand supported her chin, propped it up on the table, and muttered: "Monster hunting turns out to be so troublesome. It is completely different from what the teacher taught in the school. Brother Shen, why don't you say that the items that the dynasty should distribute are not distributed now? Now, if we have those things, hunting monsters will be much easier, and we don’t have to wait here.”
Shen Ping said casually, "The Great Xia Dynasty has a vast territory and there are many places where money is needed. Although the materials required for these basic monster hunting supplies are not precious, they are still a large expense to distribute in various places. It is normal for the Demon Suppression Department to save some. of."
There is nothing new under the sun.
In the middle and late period of the Great Xia Dynasty, the finances were unable to make ends meet, and corruption was prevalent. It was no big deal to embezzle some materials to enrich one's own pockets.
The Demon Suppression Division hunts monsters and protects the common people under their rule, but so what, the common people have nothing to do with the upper echelons of the dynasty.
"Okay, don't think about this. I ordered someone to boil a large bucket of hot water. You can wash yourself well and get rid of the smell."
Shen Ping smiled.
Lian Nishang hummed, "Thank you, Brother Shen."
In the next two days, while they were waiting, they also wandered around Jizhen. Shen Ping bought some spices and mixed them into fragrant powder and asked Lian Nishang to wear it, so that he would not be smelly next time when he went to hunt monsters.
“Brother Shen is so kind to me.”
“We grew up together.”
Shen Ping pinched Lian Nishang’s fair face that could be broken by blows, and said with a smile.
Lian Nishang chuckled, then hugged Shen Ping's arm, rubbing the newly growing chest curve back and forth, "How about we go to the mountain col and have a look, maybe we can find the wolf demon?"
This girl is dishonest.
He understands very well. After all, he is twelve years old and will soon reach puberty. He does not want to hunt monsters step by step.
Shen Ping, however, had a serious face and said, "No, if we let Lieutenant Lei know about it later, we won't be able to hunt monsters together in the future."
Lian Nishang suddenly pouted and said unhappily, "Brother Shen, why are you as rigid as Captain Lei? Let's go secretly."
Tut.
Brother Shen was so kind to me before, but in an instant he turned into a rigid person.
"no."
“Hmph, ignore it.”
Shen Ping didn't care either. He calmed down his aura quietly at night, and then left Jizhen. He used the power of his bloodline to create his own thunder escape, and reached the mountain pass in just a cup of tea.
Enter the cave deep in the mountain col. Relying on the powerful power of blood, smelling the fishy smell in the air, he moved quickly through the forks.
Those old members of Yan Jin did not pursue demon fans to target the wolf demon, but he had memory skills, and some tracking methods were readily available.
After half a stick of incense.
He came to the deepest part of the mountain col.
The leader of the wolf demon was seen soaking in a pool of blood, while the remaining three wolf demons were guarding the three intersections. The aura of the wolf demon continued to increase, obviously trying to increase its strength.
“It’s actually the plasma of the earth. No wonder twelve wolf demons can be born and awakened in a small mountain forest!”
Shen Ping had a smile in his eyes.
Earth plasma is one of the treasures of heaven and earth. It is much stronger than the white-shou fruit. Ordinary people have a great chance of awakening special bloodlines when soaked in it, rather than bloodlines such as strength and agility.
simultaneously.
Several thunderballs were thrown out.
The wolf demon minions were killed before they even had time to resist.
The leader of the wolf demon was alert, but facing Shen Ping, who was almost at the fifth level, he quickly became a corpse under the knife. After simply disposing of the wolf demon's corpse, he walked directly into the earth's plasma.
simultaneously.
Suddenly, the strong power of blood eroded Shen Ping's body from all directions.
Close your eyes and feel it for a while.
He opened his eyes, shook his head and said: "It's just ordinary earth plasma, which can be upgraded to the third level at most. Although it is very valuable to sell, it is better than nothing to me."
The body sinks.
Shen Ping searched in the earth's plasma pool, and soon found a place similar to a spring. He dug out the spring and continued to dive deeper along the narrow channel of the spring. The further down, the stronger the power of the blood became.
He keeps digging and diving.
About a few hundred feet away, I saw a strange blood-red lotus.
“It is indeed the Earth Blood Lotus.”
“Five lotus leaves, medium quality, not bad!”
He put away the Earth Blood Lotus, and then carefully sensed the surroundings. Unfortunately, there was nothing else. Of course, Shen Ping knew that his strength was too low. If he was reincarnated, he could trace back through the Earth Blood Lotus with his huge spiritual consciousness alone. Origin, look at what energy gave birth to the Earth Blood Lotus.
Return to the courtyard in the town.
Yan Jin and others were already asleep. They didn't know that the wolf demon leader and the rest had been killed by Shen Ping.
Inside the house.
Picked off a **** lotus leaf and Shen Ping swallowed it directly.
Boom.
The energy hidden deep in the blood within his body surged, and bursts of powerful blood power continued to rise, nourishing his limbs and bones.
“It’s actually about to break through!”
Although he had seen the effect of Earth Blood Lotus in the Sutra Pavilion, he still did not expect that just one lotus leaf would give him signs of a breakthrough.
Stop your mind immediately.
Performing the absorption operation according to the "Lifeline Technique", a few hours passed, the surging blood power gradually calmed down, and he successfully broke through to the fifth level.
The fifth-level bloodline awakeners can already fly in the air, but they can only fly at low altitudes and cannot maintain it for too long. Only when they reach the star realm can they truly fly in the air.
Concentrate your breath.
Shen Ping stood up and walked out of the house.
For other bloodline awakeners, it is a great joy to break through to the fifth level, because the fifth level is a big threshold for the bloodline awakeners. It cannot be crossed by more than 70%, and when you reach the fifth level, you can become a general. , sits in a prefectural city.
It’s just that Shen Ping’s face is calm, and there is no trace of emotional fluctuations. He was reincarnated into this world to find opportunities, not to improve himself.
"Earth Blood Lotus is considered a low-grade treasure among the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in this world, and the Blood Spirit Ginseng and Earthly Dragon Crystal which are higher up are considered to be mid-grade... The real chance should be at least a high-grade heavenly material and earthly treasure. "
Bloodline contains the power of wind, thunder and five elements. Even the bloodline system of the demon clan, spirit clan and other ethnic groups cannot achieve this. They have to rely on practice to obtain this magical ability.
Hence, he guessed from the bottom of his heart that the bloodline of this world should be the same as the bloodline of strange beasts, and were derived from the principles of heaven and earth.
“Brother Shen, where are we going to play today?”
As soon as he reached the door of Lian Nishang's house, the latter walked out quickly, pulled Shen Ping's door and said.
“Aren’t you angry with me anymore?”
“How could Nishang be angry with Brother Shen?”
Lian Nishang's charming way.
Shen Ping rolled his eyes secretly, but he didn't care about it. In his opinion, Lian Nishang was just like a little girl, and it was normal to have a little temper. She was a girl.
“I’ve visited all the fun places in town, but there’s not much to do.”
“Let’s go shopping again.”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
More than ten days in a row.
Shen Ping accompanies Lian Nishang every day, but the wolf demon has never been seen, staring at the peripheral members at the entrance of the mountain and constantly reporting.
See this.
Yan Jin frowned and said, "That's all. This wolf demon shouldn't come out again in a short time. Let Jizhen keep an eye on it while we go back first."
They are not worried about failing the mission. After all, they have killed eight wolf demons, which is enough to submit the mission.
Although Lian Nishang wants to stay here to slay demons, he can only obey orders.
With this experience of monster hunting in Jizhen, and the fact that Shen Ping and Lian Nishang did not mess around, Lei Xiaowei continued to arrange for the two of them to follow the old members out to hunt monsters. With the two of them and the three of them, Most of the missions are solved easily, because Li County is not a capital city, and there are very few third-level monsters within its jurisdiction. Even if there are, there are only two or three occasionally, and Lieutenant Lei will basically take action.
After two years of growth.
She became more and more proficient in hunting monsters by practicing the colorful clothes, and sometimes she was even able to do it alone. At the same time, in the past two years, she grew from a little girl next door to a famous female monster hunter in the Demon Suppression Department.
“Great! Brother Shen, Lieutenant Lei finally agreed to let us go on a monster hunting mission alone!”
The single-family courtyard of Zhenyaosi.
Looking at Lian Nishang, who was jumping up and down with joy, Shen Ping's eyes fell on the swaying curves of her chest, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This girl has finally grown up."
