Chapter 425 Monster Hunting

Captain Lei has a stubborn and rigid personality and is indeed hard to talk to. In addition, the minimum age for members of the Monster Suppression Division to perform missions is fifteen years old. Although Shen Ping and Lian Nishang are both third-level blood awakeners and stand out in the school, this is the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, this kind of regulation has long been in name only, especially as monsters and evil spirits have become increasingly rampant, and the members of the Monster Suppression Bureaus in various places are short of manpower. Many prefectures and counties even let the second-level school students start to carry out tasks.

"Monsters are not easy to deal with. You have no experience at all. Even if you are at the third level, the strength you can really display when facing a monster is only at the second level. If you are frightened, you will be worse than even a beginner awakener."

Captain Lei looked at Shen Ping and said, "It's not easy for the county's demon-suppression department to train you. I can't just watch you die."

Regardless of whether Captain Lei's words were true or false, he was doing things according to the rules.

Shen Ping didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Master Lei, Nishang and I just want to gain some experience so that we can go on missions with the experienced members of the company and help out."

Captain Lei groaned in silence.

There have been quite a few monsters in various places in the county recently. The Monster Suppression Bureau has lost three or four old members. Even he, the captain, has to go out on missions frequently. Many of his subordinates have occasionally suggested that the little guys in the school should act together, which would somewhat relieve the pressure.

But he never agreed.

Now that Shen Ping has taken the initiative to bring it up, if he refuses again and the news gets out, it will definitely make his subordinates unhappy. They already have complaints, and if they are dissatisfied again, his prestige as a captain will obviously be damaged.

"Master Lei, Nishang and I can sign a military order. If anything goes wrong during the mission, it will definitely not be the fault of the Demon Suppression Division."

Hearing this.

Captain Lei frowned, "I am not afraid of taking responsibility, but I am considering you... Well, since you insist on doing the mission, I agree, but you must obey the orders of the old members of the department and must not act rashly. If I find out, no matter how you do, you will not be able to participate in any mission in the future."

Shen Ping immediately said, "Yes, I will follow the captain's instructions."

Return to the residence.

The girl Nichang had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Shen Ping, her clear and beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.

"Alas, Master Lei is very difficult to convince!"

"But it still doesn't bother me."

Nichang's pretty and gentle face suddenly fell, but the next sentence made her smile. She came close to Shen Ping and said happily: "Hehe, Nichang knew that Brother Shen would succeed. Now we can finally go out and kill monsters!"

Shen Ping smiled and said, "What I said before..."

Lian Nishang blushed, then she shyly took out a pink purse from her waist and stuffed it directly into Shen Ping's hand, then turned around and ran away in shame.

Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, pinching the wrinkled pink purse, and laughed dumbly, "I wanted to embarrass this girl, but I didn't expect that she had already done it."

The purse is filled with a fragrance that seems to carry the scent of youth.

The next day.

Captain Lei ordered him and Lian Nishang to get ready and go to Ji Town to carry out the mission in three days. On that day, a member of the Demon Suppression Bureau named Yan who was in charge of this mission came to Shen Ping's yard.

"Yes, the blood in your body is strong and powerful. It seems that you are one of the best among the third level."

Yan Jin was worried at first, but when he sensed Shen Ping's aura, a smile appeared on his face. "There are three members in this mission. Except for me, the other two are second-level. With you and another novice, I think there won't be any problems."

Shen Ping asked hurriedly, "Brother Yan, what is the mission this time?"

"Several wolf demons are causing trouble, and the leader has not yet broken through to the third level."

"You should prepare well in these three days."

"yes."

Monsters are inherently stronger than humans. At the same second-level, humans are no match for monsters. The wolf monster leader is in the late second-level, so the Monster Suppression Bureau must have a third-level member in charge.

Next, Shen Ping began to make preparations. He had already broken through to the fourth level, but he had never seen the monsters in this world. It was necessary to make some preparations. Besides, there was Nishang, so he had to make some protective items for her.

Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to see whether what he has been studying over the years is effective.

"Using the blood-sinking wood as the base and one's own blood as the guide, I draw the spiritual pattern... let's call it the blood talisman!"

What he is best at is talismans.

Although there are no talismans or the like in this world, there are corresponding materials that can store the abilities of bloodline holders, such as blood-sinking wood, red fire silver... Blood-sinking wood is relatively common and can be bought in the county, but red fire silver is very rare.

He made twelve blood talismans in one breath.

Five of them are thunder shields, four are thunder nets, and the remaining three are thunder flames, all of which are the thunder bloodline abilities that he is good at. Other students have to spend a lot of time practicing and mastering this method, but after he understood the principle of the meridian circulation it stimulated, he could cast it instantly.

The day of departure soon arrived.

Lian Nishang changed into the uniform worn by the Demon Suppression Bureau. It had a black base with the Demon Suppression Bureau's Qilin pattern on it. The edges of the belt and cuffs had gold lines. Her hair was combed into a ponytail, making her look delicate and childish, yet also heroic.

"You two should ride on the same horse together. Don't fall behind."

Said Yan Jin, the leader.

Shen Ping nodded.

Lian Nishang was not shy, but excited. She climbed onto the horse and sat in front of Shen Ping. Even though Shen Ping held her with one hand, she didn't say anything.

Smelling the fragrance of Nichang's hair on her neck, he stuffed two lightning shields and a lightning flame talisman into the pocket inside her sleeve, "Remember to use the power of your own blood to activate these blood talismans at the critical moment."

"Brother Shen, what is the blood talisman?"

"It's similar to the Wood God card."

The Wooden God Plate is a life-saving item that has storage capacity and is used by the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Lian Nishang said "oh", and although she was surprised, she didn't ask any more questions.

Riding on a horse, Shen Ping followed Yan Jin and others in front of him. After more than half an hour of fast riding, they arrived at Ji Town. Every town in the Great Xia Dynasty had non-staff members of the Demon Suppression Department. These people were responsible for collecting intelligence information and coordinating cases within the jurisdiction of the town and the countryside.

Yan Jin didn't even take a rest and asked the coordinator to lead them to the forest near Ji Town.

The sun was very hot at this time.

People were covered in sweat from the sun. Although those with bloodline could use the power of their bloodline to resist the heat and cold, they could not use spiritual light to protect their bodies and maintain a constant temperature like monks. Only after breaking through the fifth level and reaching the star level could they not be afraid of any harsh environment.

Just reached the edge of the forest.

Yan Jin and the others were covered in sweat. The black Qilin suit itself absorbed heat, and sweat kept dripping from their foreheads. They could only use the power of their blood to resist.

However, after entering the forest, they felt a gust of cool air, just like drinking an iced cola on a hot summer day, making them feel refreshed. However, the group's faces became solemn, as this cool air was clearly demonic.

"My lord, the wolf demons are in the heart of the forest, there are about twelve of them..."

Listen to the conversation in front of you.

Shen Ping looked around the forest with some anticipation in his eyes. This was the first time he entered the forest after his reincarnation. His parents always stopped him when he was a child, so he was still full of curiosity about the forest. He really wanted to know what was in the forest that allowed monsters to continue to be born, and the white-shou fruit.

As we go deeper.

The cool air became more intense, and fog gradually rose in the forest. As the fog grew thicker, a fishy smell of grain filled the air. It was obvious that they had come to the area where wolf demons were active, and there might even be a wolf demon targeting them now.

Yan Jin warned: "Everyone be alert, the monsters can attack at any time."

As he spoke, he and the other two members of the Demon Suppression Bureau drew their magic swords.

Seeing this, Lian Nishang came up to Shen Ping and muttered, "Brother Shen, didn't the teacher at the academy say that the Scale Fire Lamp can dispel the fog of these evil spirits? Why didn't Lord Yan and the others use the Scale Fire Lamp?"

Before Shen Ping could speak, Yan Jin turned around and said, "Miss Nishang, the teacher in the school probably didn't tell you that the Scale Fire Lamp is expensive. My Li County Demon Suppression Division hasn't received any of these items for decades. Even the common items for dealing with monsters, such as the Fire Net and the Rhinoceros Oil, are in short supply."

Lian Nishang cried out, her face full of surprise and confusion, "How could that be? According to the imperial regulations, these things must be rationed. Every member of the demon-hunting team must carry them when they go out, otherwise they will be punished."

Another old member named Chen sneered, "Rules are dead. The dynasty also stipulates that students like you are not allowed to go out to hunt monsters before you are fifteen years old. Haha, now the dynasty is running out of money, how can we continue to do as before?"

Yan Jin said, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Chen Ke, you are a person of wind bloodline, go check the surrounding situation first. If you find a wolf demon, sound the alarm immediately!"

"yes!"

After Chen Ke disappeared.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Yan Jin then said to Shen Ping and Lian Nishang, "Miss Nishang, you are of the water element bloodline. When the wolf monster appears, use your bloodline ability to cover the surrounding area to slow down the wolf monster. Shen Ping, you are of the lightning element. You can cooperate with the water element to quickly carry out long-range attacks."

"Others are on guard at the perimeter."

"yes!"

Another half cup of tea passed.

Chen Ke in front sounded an urgent whistle.

Then the thick fog rolled in, and the sound of whistling wind came from all directions.

Yan Jin snorted, and the power of his blood surged. Waves of powerful blood aura blew away the fog within a radius of dozens of feet. The other person stomped his feet suddenly, and stone pillars sprang up from the ground, forming spikes that covered the surroundings.

Shen Ping stood there, watching with interest the two old members display their bloodline abilities. This ability was similar to magic, but it was not an application of the energy of heaven and earth, but rather an exploration of the hidden power of blood.

Oh.

At this time, a wolf howled not far away.

Soon, five giant wolves more than two meters tall rushed out from the thick fog and crossed several feet in a flash. However, before they reached Shen Ping and the others, they were pierced by sharp stone pillars.

"These are wolf demons that have not activated their bloodline abilities. Don't waste their bloodline power."

Yan Jin sensed the blood power surging in Lian Nishang and quickly reminded her.

After killing more than twenty giant wolves in a row.

Three giant wolves over three meters tall gradually walked out of the thick fog. These giant wolves had dense hair, huge heads, and sharp teeth that flashed cold light. They stared at Shen Ping and others, and one of them actually spoke, "You guys from the Demon Suppression Division are really abominable. You just ate some mountain folks and then you bully us. Sooner or later, you will eat up all of the Demon Suppression Division."

whoosh.

The words just fell.

The sharp stone pillars rushed towards the three giant wolves like arrows.

Those ordinary giant wolves could not dodge this kind of attack at all, but these three wolf monsters dodged it easily, and then they rushed over the stone pillar defense line and rushed straight over.

The Jizhen members standing on the periphery rushed forward fearlessly with their swords in hand.

"Miss Nishang, quickly display your bloodline ability!"

Lian Nishang's little face was tense, and the blood in her body surged. After just a few breaths, waves quickly covered an area of ​​dozens of feet. Under these waves, the wolf demon's speed was greatly reduced.

"Third level water bloodline!"

The wolf demon was startled, and after realizing something was wrong, he immediately turned around and ran away.

Without Yan Jin's reminder, Shen Ping waved his hand and activated a series of thunder balls, which blasted towards the three wolf monsters at an extremely fast speed along the water waves.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

The wolf demon slowed down and was unable to dodge. Lightning flashed all over his body, and his three-meter-tall body was soon paralyzed.

"Third level lightning bloodline!!"

Yan Jin smiled and said, "It's too late to realize it now."

He rushed to the side of the wolf demon in a flash, his sword ignited with flames, and he chopped off the wolf demon's head one by one.

With the death of the three-headed wolf demon.

The fog around gradually faded.

Chen Ke, who was exploring in the front, also returned quickly.

"The wolf demon leader led the other wolf demons and fled deeper into the forest."

Yan Jin nodded and said with a smile, "Keep chasing. We have three level three monsters on this trip, so it will be easy to kill these wolf monsters."

Through the scene just now, he knew that Shen Ping and Lian Nishang were indeed genuine third-level bloodlines, and they were not frightened when facing the monsters. At least under protection, they were able to fully display their third-level strength, and that was enough.

Another veteran member also laughed, "With the cooperation of the third-level water and lightning elements, this mission will be easy."

Chen Ke said: "I hope there will be some great gains."

All three laughed.

Seeing the confusion on Lian Nishang's face, Yan Jin seemed to guess what she was confused about and said, "The reason why I asked you to directly display the third level is, on the one hand, to test your strength, and on the other hand, to scare the wolf monsters and make them flee deeper into the forest, which is where they are born and awaken their bloodline."

Chen Ke echoed, "Yes, the awakening monster's lair is very hidden, but there is a chance that natural treasures will appear in that environment, such as the White Head Fruit that can awaken the next day. If we can get a few of them, it will be more profitable than the bounty for the mission."

"You are still young. You will understand the importance of money in the future."

Yan Jin grinned and said, "Chen Ke, they are both only twelve years old and have level three bloodlines. Tsk tsk, they will definitely become lieutenants in the future, or even break through to level five and become lieutenant generals. Why would they worry about money?"

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and their words were much more enthusiastic towards Shen Ping and Lian Nishang.
