Chapter 25: The cub of a superior phantom demon?
"I see."
Ten minutes later, Xu Qianqian, who was sitting on the bed in the hotel room, learned all the situations from Su Ming, and her expression became serious.
“I didn’t expect that this matter would involve the existence of a suspected superior phantom demon. This is really a troublesome matter.”
Xu Qianqian bit her finger, and her expression was the same as Su Ming's when he learned about this matter before, looking a little uncertain.
There is no way. Anything related to a superior phantom demon is of great importance. Even a big family like the Xu family cannot ignore the threat posed by a superior phantom demon.
That monster requires at least a four-star hunter and a four-star warlock to deal with.
Moreover, there are only ways to deal with it, but whether it can be successfully hunted is another matter.
Such an existence is beyond the reach of most professional hunters and professional warlocks, let alone students like Su Ming and Xu Qianqian who have not yet graduated.
Therefore, once a high-level phantom demon comes out of the Demon Prison and appears in the human world, even a base city will have to be vigilant and take it seriously.
Phantom demons of that level pose a huge threat to humans.
Of course, "I am not sure whether there is a superior phantom demon." Su Ming said to Xu Qianqian: "I am just guessing. There are still several doubts in this guess. The reason why I called you here is to ask you what you think."
Su Ming did not underestimate himself and think that his speculation was necessarily correct.
Even though this speculation has been supported by a certain degree of evidence, Su Ming does not want to make a blind conclusion.
He called Xu Qianqian over because he wanted to ask for her opinion.
The eldest daughter of the Xu family may be a little naive in the ways of the world, but she is very knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge, so she may have different ideas.
As expected, "Your speculation makes sense, but I think there may be some discrepancies."
Xu Qianqian thought for a long time and then gave her own ideas.
"Let's not talk about anything else. If a high-level phantom demon really appeared in Longyao City, this base city would definitely not be as quiet as it is now. A big incident would have happened long ago."
This statement is not without reason.
"I think so too." Su Ming nodded and agreed, "All phantom demons feed on blood. Their essence and even their strength are concentrated in the blood. Generally, low-level phantom demons will cause a lot of murders in order to hunt for blood food once they come to the human world. As for high-level phantom demons, once they come to the human world, they will inevitably cause disasters because of the problem of blood food."
The power of a higher-level phantom demon is disproportionate to that of a lower-level phantom demon and cannot be compared.
In contrast, the demand for blood of a higher-level phantom demon is much higher than that of a lower-level phantom demon.
To put it in more understandable terms, the upper-level phantom demons have a much larger appetite than lower-level phantom demons, and require much more nutrition than lower-level phantom demons. In addition, they are already evolved individuals, and in order to continue to improve and evolve to a higher level, their thirst for blood is far beyond the reach of small fish like lower-level phantom demons.
“If it is really a high-level phantom demon that appeared, and appeared directly in the base city, it is impossible for it to remain indifferent to the tens of millions of “delicacies” placed in front of it, and it is even more impossible for it to resist taking action.” Su Ming said: “And with their demand for blood, it is absolutely impossible for them to appear in the world without causing thousands of casualties.”
This is what Su Ming and Xu Qianqian thought was fishy.
"If that suspicious group is really hunting down a high-level phantom demon, then it is impossible for that high-level phantom demon not to cause a huge murder in Longyao City, even if it is just to fill its stomach." Xu Qianqian said: "Besides, I don't think a high-level phantom demon will be chased around by a group of suspicious hunters and warlocks."
really.
Although the hunters and warlocks in that suspicious group were all at professional level, according to Su Ming and Xu Qianqian's observations, they all agreed that the hunters and warlocks in that group were only three stars at most.
For example, the leading character should be a three-star hunter, and it is unlikely that he can reach four stars or above.
Hunters above four stars were all well-known figures, and even the top leaders of the base city had to treat them with caution.
It is unlikely that such a being would be ordered around by the top leaders of a base city to chase around an unknown mysterious phantom demon.
Taking this into consideration, the highest star rating among that suspicious group is probably only three stars.
One, two, and three-star hunters and warlocks are referred to as lower-level professionals in the industry. It would not be difficult for the top leaders of the base city to command, subdue, or even train professionals of this level.
Hunters and warlocks of four, five and six stars are called upper-level professionals in the industry. Their number is much less than that of lower-level professionals, and their strength is also much stronger than that of lower-level professionals. It is absolutely difficult for the top leaders of the base city to use, subdue and train them at will.
As for the seven-star hunters and warlocks, they are equivalent to the hunter king and the warlock master.
Existences of this level are extremely rare in this human world. Most base cities don't even have a seven-star hunter or warlock.
Like Longyao City, a base city, the highest star rating is six stars.
The same is true for the neighboring Qilan City and QH City, where the highest star rating is only six stars.
Only in Yinze City, which has a population of over 90 million and ranks first among the four major coastal base cities, is there a Seven-Star Hunter.
Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for a senior official in a base city like Longyao City, where the highest star rating is only six stars, to have a senior professional as a private soldier, but the possibility is not very high.
If hunters and warlocks of this level really appeared, the base city would have long regarded them as the backbone of the city's defense.
Faced with the threat brought by the phantom demons, humans do not have much lingering energy. Once a family or force has a high-level professional, they will definitely unite and ask the other party to officially register as a professional hunter or professional warlock, and let the other party contribute to the base city and even all mankind.
Therefore, even if a senior leader of a base city really trained a superior professional and wanted to use him as a private soldier, the other senior leaders of the base city would definitely not allow it.
Under the righteous cause of the alliance, even the most powerful families have to compromise.
In view of this, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for a senior professional to become someone's private soldier.
All these situations were telling Su Ming and Xu Qianqian that it was unlikely that there would be four-star professionals in that suspicious group.
The problem is, "If there are no four-star professionals in that suspicious group, then they won't be able to hunt down a high-level phantom demon even if they want to."
Su Ming got straight to the point.
"That's right." Xu Qianqian said with deep conviction: "Without the help of a senior professional, if a lower-level professional wants to defeat a senior phantom demon, at least a group of 100 people will have to be dispatched."
In this group of 100 people, one-tenth must be three-star professionals, three-tenths must be two-star professionals, and the rest must all be one-star professionals with excellent quality and ability, only then will it be possible to defeat a high-level phantom demon.
This is the terrifying thing about the upper-level phantom demon.
Taking all these into consideration, it is unlikely that the mysterious being that the suspicious group is hunting is a high-level phantom demon.
However. "If they are hunting a cub of a higher-level phantom demon, then everything makes sense."
Xu Qianqian suddenly said this.
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
"The cub of a superior phantom demon?"
Su Ming was stunned.
"Yes." Xu Qianqian nodded and said, "Illusions are different from us humans. They have many ways to reproduce."
"Some of them reproduce asexually, some reproduce by splitting their unwanted bodies, some can reproduce through special powers, and some can even reproduce through infection and other methods."
Xu Qianqian said this.
"Of course, different methods of reproduction lead to different reproductive outcomes."
"Like reproduction through fission, because they are life forms made up of abandoned and unnecessary bodies, this type of phantom demon is often much weaker than the mother body."
"In the case of reproduction that relies on special powers, the amount of power consumed by the mother during reproduction will directly determine the potential and strength of the offspring produced."
"Not to mention the infection method. Usually, the offspring born will only be lower-level individuals of the mother body that is the source of infection. For example, if a high-level phantom demon reproduces in large numbers through infection, it is only possible that all of its offspring will be low-level phantom demons."
Having said that, Xu Qianqian paused, and then slowly described a situation.
"In the Demon Prison, where there are various methods of reproduction, there are also examples of high-level phantom demons giving birth to high-level phantom demon cubs."
"For example, some of the higher-level phantom demons are extremely powerful. They have the ability to give birth to cubs that are also higher-level phantom demons."
"Furthermore, some high-level phantom demons may use all their blood and power to reproduce offspring before they die, allowing their offspring to inherit all of their power. These offspring are high-level phantom demons from birth."
Xu Qianqian's words made Su Ming's face gradually darken.
He had already guessed what Xu Qianqian wanted to say.
And what Xu Qianqian said next confirmed his thoughts.
"If a high-level phantom demon cub came to the world and was discovered by someone, everyone would be ecstatic."
Xu Qianqian spoke like this.
"Because it's a cub, even if it's a high-level phantom demon, its strength will be greatly reduced before it fully develops."
Such a phantom demon cub is simply a huge treasure in the eyes of humans.
Its body materials can be used to forge powerful weapons, create powerful props, and refine powerful potions.
The phantom magic potion made with its blood will give a human the chance to directly possess the bloodline of a superior phantom magic, which will not only allow them to gain terrifying power, but also allow their descendants to have excellent bloodlines and be able to excel.
Even a large family could not ignore such a treasure.
Because maintaining the bloodline, improving the bloodline, making the bloodline stronger and purer, that is what all hunter families do.
How tempting is the bloodline of a superior phantom demon to these families?
You can imagine!
In other words , "I suspect that a certain high-ranking official in Longyao Base City wanted to secretly take possession of such a high-level phantom demon cub, so he sent out private soldiers to hunt down the other party."
This is what Xu Qianqian thought.
