Chapter 683: Demon Hunting (2)

Smelling the fragrance emitted by Lian Nishang’s hair, he stuffed two Thunder Shields and a Thunder Flame Talisman into her pocket. “Remember to use your bloodline power to activate these blood talismans at the critical moment.”

“Brother Shen, what’s a blood talisman?”

“It’s similar to the Divine Wood Token.”

The Divine Wood Token was the kind of life-saving item that the Demon suppression Division used to store its abilities. Lian Nishang nodded. Although she was surprised, she did not ask further.

“Giddyup!”

Riding on his horse, Shen Ping followed closely behind Yan Jin and the others. After traveling for more than an hour, they arrived at Ji Town. Every town in the Great Xia Dynasty had non-staff personnel from the Demon Suppression Division. These people were in charge of collecting intelligence and coordinating the cases within the township’s jurisdiction.

Yan Jin did not even rest as he let the coordinator lead them to the forest near

Ji Town.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly. The sun was so hot that people were covered in sweat. Although bloodline practitioners could use the bloodline power in their bodies to resist the heat and cold, they could not use spiritual light to protect their bodies like cultivators and maintain a constant temperature. Only after breaking through to the fifth rank and reaching the Star Rank could they not be afraid of any harsh environment.

They had just reached the edge of the forest when Yan Jin and the others were drenched in sweat. Their black Qilin robes were endothermic to begin with, so sweat kept dripping from their foreheads. They could only use the power of their bloodline to resist it.

After entering the forest, a gust of cooling wind blew. It was as if they had taken a sip of iced cola on a hot summer day, making their bodies feel comfortable. However, the group of people’s expressions turned solemn. This cooling wind was clearly demonic qi.

“Sir, the wolf demons are in the hinterland of the forest. There are about twelve

of them.”

Shen Ping listened to the conversation in front of him as he looked around at the forest, but his eyes revealed some anticipation. This was the first time he had entered the forest after reincarnating. When he was young, his parents had always stopped him, so he was still curious about the forest. He really wanted to know what was in the forest that could allow the birth of demons and the

White Head Fruit.

As they went deeper, the shady air became even denser, and fog gradually rose in the forest. As the fog grew larger, there was the stench of the valley in the air. It was obvious that they had come to the area where the wolf demons were active. There might even be wolf demons targeting them now.

Yan Jin warned them, “Everyone, be on high alert. The demons will attack at any moment.” He and the other two members of the Demon Suppression Division drew their demon swords.

When Lian Nishang saw this, she went up to Shen Ping and muttered, “Brother Shen, didn’t the academy teacher say that the Scale Fire Lamp can dispel the fog condensed from demonic qi? 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, I don’t think the academy teacher has told you that the Scale Fire Lamp is expensive. It’s been decades since our Li County’s Demon Suppression Division received such an item from the higher-ups. Even the fire net, rhinoceros tung oil, and other commonly used items to deal with demons are very lacking. Lian Nishang exclaimed, her little face filled with surprise and confusion. “How could that be? According to the Dynasty’s rules, these things must be distributed. Every member of the exorcism team must bring them when they go out. Otherwise, they will be punished.”

Another old member with the surname Chen sneered and said, “Rules are dead. Dynasty also stipulates that students like you are not allowed to go out and hunt demons before the age of 15. Hah, now that Dynasty can’t make ends meet, how can it be like before?”

Yan Jin said, “Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. Chen Ke, you have a wind-type bloodline. Go and check the surroundings first. If you find a wolf demon, immediately send out a warning!”

“Yes!”

After Chen Ke disappeared, Yan Jin then said to Shen Ping and Lian Nishang, “Miss Nishang, you have a water-type bloodline. When the wolf demon appears later, use your bloodline ability to cover the surroundings and reduce the wolf demon’s speed. Shen Ping, you are a lightning-type. You can cooperate with the water-type and quickly launch long-distance attacks. The rest of you, stay on the perimeter.”

“Yes!”

Another five minutes later, Chen Ke, who was in front, gave an urgent whistle. Immediately after, the thick fog rolled and the sound of rushing wind could be heard from all directions.

Yan Jin harrumphed, and the power of his bloodline surged. Waves of powerful bloodline aura blew away the fog within a hundred feet. The other one stomped his feet, and stone pillars shot up from the ground, covering the surroundings like spikes.

Shen Ping stood on the spot and watched with interest as the two old members used their bloodline abilities. This ability was similar to a spell, but it was not an application of the energy of heaven and earth. Instead, it was to dig out the hidden power of the bloodline.

Ow. At this moment, a wolf roar came from not far away. Soon, five huge wolves that were more than two meters tall rushed out of the thick fog. In an instant, they crossed dozens of feet. But before they could reach Shen Ping and the others, they were pierced by sharp stone pillars.

“These are all wolf demons who haven’t activated their bloodline abilities. Don’t waste your bloodline power.” Yan Jin sensed the bloodline power surging in Lian Nishang’s body and quickly reminded her.

After killing more than 20 giant wolves in a row, three huge wolves that were more than three meters tall gradually walked out of the thick fog. These huge wolves had dense fur, huge heads, and sharp teeth that flickered with a cold light. They stared at Shen Ping and the others. One of them actually spoke, “You guys from the Demon Suppression Division are really detestable. We only ate some mountain villagers and you came to bully us. Sooner or later, we will eat all of you from the Demon Suppression Division.”

Sharp stone pillars sped towards the three giant wolves like arrows. The ordinary wolves could not dodge such an attack, but the three wolf demons easily dodged it. Then, they rushed past the stone pillar defense line and rushed over. The Ji Town members standing at the periphery charged forward fearlessly with their sabers.

“Miss Nishang, quickly use your bloodline ability!

Lian Nishang’s small face tensed up, and the bloodline aura in her body surged. In just a few breaths, waves of water quickly covered an area of dozens of feet which greatly reduced the wolf demon’s speed.

“Third-rank Water Bloodline Warrior!” The wolf demon was shocked. After sensing that something was wrong, it immediately turned around and fled. Without needing Yan Jin’s reminder, Shen Ping waved his hand and conjured lightning balls. They followed the water waves and blasted towards the three wolf demons at an extremely fast speed.

The wolf demons, which had slowed down, could not dodge in time. Their entire bodies flickered with lightning, and their three-meter-tall bodies were quickly paralyzed. “Third rank Lightning bloodline!!”

Yan Jin smiled. “It’s too late to find out now.” With a flash, he rushed to the wolf demon’s side. The saber at his waist ignited with flames as he beheaded the wolf demon one by one.

As the three wolf demons died, the surrounding fog gradually thinned. Chen Ke, who was scouting at the front, quickly returned. “The wolf demon leader fled deeper into the forest with the other wolf demons.”

Yan Jin nodded and said with a smile, “Continue chasing. We have three Rank-3S on this trip. Killing these wolf demons will be a piece of cake.” From the scene just now, he knew that Shen Ping and Lian Nishang were genuine third-grade bloodline practitioners. Moreover, they were not scared out of their wits when facing the demons. At least under their protection, they could fully unleash their third-grade strength. That was enough.

Another old member also laughed. “With the cooperation of the third-rank water and lightning elements, this mission will be very easy.”

Chen Ke said, “I hope there’s a lot of gains.”

All three of them laughed. Seeing the confusion on Lian Nishang’s face, Yan Jin seemed to have guessed what she was puzzled about. He said, “The reason why I asked you to reveal your level three strength is to test your strength and also to intimidate the wolf demons so that they can escape deeper into the forest. That is where they are born and awaken their bloodline.

Chen Ke added, “That’s right. The nest of the awakened demons is very hidden, but there’s a chance of natural treasures appearing in that environment. For example, if we can obtain a few White Head Fruits that can awaken one’s bloodline, we’ll earn more than the bounty for the mission. You’re still young. You’ll know the importance of money in the future.”

Yan Jin grinned and said, “Chen Ke, the two of them are only 12 years old and already have a third rank bloodline. Tsk tsk, they will definitely become lieutenants in the future, or even break through to the fifth rank and become generals. Why would they worry about money?”

The three of them chatted and laughed, and their words became much more enthusiastic towards Shen Ping and Lian Nishang..
