Chapter 24 Is it too late for me to leave now?

Time passed slowly.

Before we knew it, the sky had begun to turn slightly yellow, and the sunset began to dye the world with sunset glow.

It was still morning when Su Ming came out of the academy, but while he was running around, evening had already arrived.

“Really?”

Su Ming was gasping for breath in the suburbs, looking at the bees still hovering in the air, feeling helpless.

He has been following these bees all day.

Originally, Su Ming thought that he had finally found some clues and could trace those people, but who would have thought that the result was not as smooth as he imagined.

Led by the swarm of bees, Su Ming ran to one place after another, but couldn't find the members of the suspicious group.

Of course, Su Ming did not gain nothing.

“Is this the eleventh one?”

Su Ming took a breath and looked around.

There was something obviously wrong with the environment around Su Ming.

There are obvious signs of burning in some places.

Some places seemed to have been damaged and were badly broken.

Some places were covered with blood, forming puddles of blood.

There is no doubt that this was once a battlefield.

Su Ming already understood what was going on.

"After the fierce battle that night, there was no clear winner between the suspicious group and the mysterious entity."

Just like the previous forty days, the suspicious group obviously has not yet captured the mysterious entity and has been tracking and hunting it down.

Su Ming's exploration swarm detected the spiritual power of the warlock in the suspicious group at the place where the fierce fighting took place, so they searched one place after another. As a result, Su Ming ran around all day without seeing a single person, but he did find many areas of fierce fighting that had not been blocked off.

As for the two parties involved in the fierce battle, there is still no clue about their whereabouts.

"It's really not that easy to find them."

Su Ming was also somewhat helpless.

However, he was not discouraged by the result.

"If that doesn't work, try another method."

Su Ming has more than one way to find people.

After opening packages continuously over the past year, Su Ming had obtained dozens of props, if not hundreds. Among them, there were some props with very unique functions that could be used in the current situation.

With such cards in hand, Su Ming was not worried about not being able to find the person. It was just a matter of how much effort and collection he would need to put in.

If they really didn't care about the cost, Su Ming would have found a way to defeat the other party immediately.

He doesn't use it now simply because he feels it's not worth it.

"I'm not in a hurry anyway, take your time."

Although Su Ming is not good at other things, his patience is definitely the best.

After all, he is a man who is determined to be invincible in the world. He can't stand boredom and can't withstand provocation, so he would have revealed his flaws long ago.

Therefore, Su Ming planned to go back home first and search again later.

"Um?"

Just as Su Ming was about to leave, suddenly, he seemed to catch a glimpse of light out of the corner of his eye.

"Something?"

Su Ming was slightly confused, but he walked towards the light without any hesitation.

Not long after, Su Ming saw the bright true form.

"Scales?"

Su Ming was surprised.

The shiny body was actually a broken scale.

Although the scales were damaged, the surface was as smooth as a mirror, making the setting sun shine on it with a dazzling brightness, giving people a beautiful feeling.

Su Ming picked up the scales, looked at it for a while, and then frowned.

"Is this the scale that fell from the phantom demon?"

The scales that fell from ordinary animals could not be as beautiful as these, and they were unlikely to appear in such a place. In addition, Su Ming also felt some breath of phantom demon on it, so the owner of the scales could not be a creature other than a phantom demon.

Su Ming thought about it and an idea came to his mind.

"Could it be that the mysterious being that the suspicious group is hunting is a certain phantom demon?"

This possibility is not impossible.

Although Su Ming could not imagine what kind of phantom demon needed to be hunted secretly like this, causing noise again and again and then disappearing every time, and also arousing the desire of an ambitious person in the Base City's senior management, the appearance of this scale still led the true identity of the mysterious existence to the side of the phantom demon.

"If that mysterious being is a phantom demon, what is this phantom demon?"

Su Ming identified it for a long time and finally confirmed that the scale did not belong to any lower-level phantom demon he knew.

This made Su Ming's brows frown tighter and tighter, and his heart gradually became confused and uncertain.

"Could it be that the suspicious group is not hunting low-level phantom demons, but high-level phantom demons?"

Su Ming was a little surprised.

Advanced phantom demon.

That is a very extraordinary existence.

In the Demon Prison, there are a large number of phantom demons and many different races.

The number of phantom demons such as the Screaming Demon and the Black Heart Demon can be counted in tens of millions, and the Screaming Demon and the Black Heart Demon are just two insignificant types among the many phantom demon races in the Spirit Demon Prison.

But these kinds of phantom demons, which are as numerous as locusts, are all low-level phantom demons.

Low-level phantom demons are very threatening to ordinary humans, but in the Demon Prison, they are the weakest trash.

However, when a phantom demon has absorbed enough blood and accumulated enough power, it will separate from its own tribe and evolve into a new individual.

Such a phantom demon will no longer be a small fry like the phantom demons of the same race. Its power will become unprecedentedly powerful, and the difference between it and before it evolved is like heaven and earth. It cannot be compared at all.

This kind of evolved individual is the so-called superior phantom demon.

As soon as they are born, they often become the kings of their own race, ruling over the entire tribe and becoming the lords of a region in the Demonic Prison.

This kind of upper-level phantom demon poses a much greater threat to humans than lower-level phantom demons, and it can even be said that they are not on the same level at all.

A low-level phantom demon, as long as it is not a very special existence, can be easily taken down by a team of three students like Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai.

If Su Ming showed his true ability, hunting multiple lower-level phantom demons alone would not be a problem.

The same goes for professional hunters and warlocks. Even if they are recent graduates or just starting out, as long as they can obtain a professional license, hunting several lower-level phantom demons alone is not a problem. Some can even hunt a dozen or twenty alone.

However, once they encounter a high-level phantom demon, these newly debuted hunters and warlocks will become victims of slaughter.

This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

Let me put it this way.

In this world, no matter if you are a hunter or a warlock, once you get a license and become a professional hunter or a professional warlock, you will start to gain star levels.

The newly debuted professional hunters and professional warlocks are all one-star hunters and one-star warlocks.

Afterwards, if professional hunters and warlocks continue to grow, progress, and improve in strength, they will be able to upgrade their star rating and be given the corresponding star rating.

The highest star rating can reach seven stars.

As for the higher-level phantom demons, even the weakest one, it would take at least a four-star hunter or warlock to deal with them.

From this, we can see how big the gap is between the upper-level phantom demons and the lower-level phantom demons.

Not to mention, there are also different levels among the upper-level phantom demons. Even if the power of the strongest ones cannot be called destroying the world with a wave of their hands, they can still fill the sea and move mountains. Even the highest-level seven-star hunters and seven-star warlocks find it difficult to deal with them.

If the target that suspicious group is hunting is a high-level phantom demon, "then this matter cannot be easily resolved."

Su Ming held the scales in his hand, feeling a mixture of emotions.

"It seems that I have to talk to Miss Xu again."

Su Ming took a deep breath and put the scales in his hand into his backpack.

Afterwards, Su Ming searched the surroundings again, and when he didn't find anything else, he went back home.

As for the swarm of bees used for searching, Su Ming did not take them back, but let them continue searching.

Maybe, they will find something later, who knows.

Su Ming did not return to the dormitory that night.

He knew that once he returned to the dormitory, those rough guys in the dormitory would continue to cause trouble.

So, Su Ming simply booked a room in a hotel outside and sent a message to Xu Qianqian.

"I've booked a room in a nearby hotel, come over."

Su Ming attached the address and sent it to Xu Qianqian.

However, Xu Qianqian's reply came later than Su Ming had expected, and the content of her reply almost made him vomit blood.

"You are the first person who dares to ask me to go to a hotel so directly."

When Su Ming saw this sentence, he hadn't reacted yet. When he finally reacted, he vomited blood.

Thinking carefully, the content he sent seemed to be a little...indecent? Su Ming's mouth twitched.

At that moment, Su Ming hurriedly explained.

"I need to talk to you about something."

Su Ming sent this.

This time, Xu Qianqian's reply came even later.

Just when Su Ming was puzzled by this, Xu Qianqian's reply came belatedly.

"After I told my housekeeper this, he not only got angry, but also scolded you, saying that you had a terrible excuse to trick a girl into going to a hotel."

This reply made Su Ming bang his head on the pillow, wanting to kill himself.

Finally, Su Ming simply replied.

"You can come if you want."

After saying this, Su Ming threw away his phone and ignored everyone.

He wanted to lie down and sleep, but he found that he had been running around all day and smelled dusty and sweaty.

"Take a shower before going to bed."

As a delicate pig boy, Su Ming couldn't bear to lie down and sleep like this, so he immediately ran to the bathroom and took a comfortable bath.

When Su Ming came out of the bathroom refreshed, there was a knock on the door.

"I am coming."

Xu Qianqian stood at the door, looking at Su Ming, who was only wearing a bathrobe, and pondered for a long time.

Immediately, Xu Qianqian said something.

"Is it too late for me to leave now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qianqian was dragged into the room by Su Ming.

Sorry, there are some network problems.

I hope my friends can forgive me.
