The second day, noon.
In a restaurant in Yuntai Town, the three monster slayers Yuan Chuhu, Meng Yao and the old drunk are discussing countermeasures.
They are all herringbone slayers.
Among them, Yuan Zhanhu and the old drunkard are about to be promoted.
As long as the mission this time is completed, the two of them will be promoted to be the monster slayers when they go back!
By then, Yuan Yanhu and the old alcoholic will be upgraded to a higher level in terms of status and welfare.
Excited to think about it!
But the problem is... this time the task doesn't seem to be that simple.
They investigated all day, but found no clues.
The monster slayer who disappeared in Yuntai Town seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.
The three took advantage of the noon meal to review their findings of the day.
...
"Do you feel this town is weird? I feel something is wrong, but I can't tell."
Meng Yao frowned and looked around, very alert.
"Nonsense, if there is no problem in this town, will the previous monster slayer disappear? Let's think about how to find the target."
Yuan Yanhu took a sip of wine, with a little impatience in his tone.
With just this mission, he will be able to accumulate enough credits to advance to the title of Demon Slayer!
But when he came to the door, he encountered trouble, and his heart was somewhat anxious.
It was an old alcoholic. He was in the same situation as Yuan Yanhu, but he drank the little wine without hesitation.
As if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
Yuan Yanhu couldn't bear it any longer, and asked him:
"Hey! Old alcoholic, did I say you're really in no hurry? We're just one last step away from promotion!"
Hearing this, the old alcoholic laughed and said nonchalantly:
"I'm so old, what's the rush. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the destiny. It's good to be alive!"
"You old man... hey!"
Yuan Yanhu was a little speechless, and he could only worry about it alone.
Seeing this, Meng Yao comforted:
"Don't worry too much, after all, we're only here on the second day. After you've had enough to eat and drink, we'll just investigate slowly."
"Also, I think maybe go to the local mayor, he may be able to... eh, isn't that Su Mu?"
As they were talking, Meng Yao suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards them.
It was Su Mu who parted with them yesterday.
The strange thing is that it has only been a day, but Meng Yao vaguely feels that Su Mu seems to be a little different.
...
"How many are you eating?"
Su Mu walked in front of the three demon slayers, glanced at the food on the table, and smiled.
The smile is a little weird, with a bit of teasing.
"Didn't you say you want to look elsewhere? Why did you come back?"
Yuan Yanhu took a bite of the dish and asked with some doubts.
"I got some information about Yuntai Town by accident, so I came to you specially."
Su Mu looked at the restaurant, and the smile on his face became more and more strange.
This restaurant is very lively with people coming and going.
Unfortunately, these are all illusions...
Hearing this, Yuan Yanhu immediately regained his spirit and asked eagerly:
"What information? Come and listen!"
Hearing this, Su Mu laughed and said:
"No hurry, no hurry, I'll show you something good first. Heaven's Eye, open!"
With a pinch, he cast a small spell at will.
Although he only started qi refining last night, after all, Su Mu has cultivated to the realm of five qi Chaoyuan in the dungeon world.
Although the spiritual energy in the body is thin, it is still no problem to cast a few small spells.
With a flick of Su Mu's finger, three auras entered the eyebrows of Yuan Chuhu, Meng Yao, and the old drunk.
After the aura disappeared, their eyes were darkened.
When I regained my vision again, a touch of gray appeared in my vision, and I could see something unusual!
...
It happened that at this moment, a shop assistant walked over quickly with a pot of soup.
This was the last dish they ordered at this table.
"Hey hey! Here comes the chicken soup!"
The pot of chicken soup held by the shop boy is bright and attractive, and it looks very good.
But the three people whose eyes were opened saw another scene.
Chicken soup is really fine.
But this shop boy is a rotten, hideous monster!
The corners of its mouth were wide open, and the long black cyan saliva was continuously dripping into the chicken soup in the form of filaments.
What's worse, as he trot all the way, a rotten eyeball on the demon's face fell off and just rolled into the chicken soup.
"Guests, please take your time!"
The demon put the pot of chicken soup with a lot of "good ingredients" on the table, turned around and left with a grin.
Yuan Yanhu looked at the contaminated chicken soup, and then looked at the dish that was covered with some contamination.
His face turned blue, and he wanted to vomit.
Among the three, the old alcoholic didn't even take a sip of the dish, and only drank the wine he brought.
Meng Yao vaguely felt that something was wrong in Yuntai Town, and didn't eat much.
Only Yuan Jhanhu has a large appetite on weekdays, and he had already eaten a lot of dishes in that moment.
Thinking of this, he almost spit it out!
...
"Damn demon, dare to tease me!"
Can Yuan Yanhu bear this violent temper?
He took an antidote and suppressed the urge to vomit.
Then he kicked over the table, jumped up and drew the knife to chop at the monster who delivered the chicken soup!
The strength of these alienated townspeople in Yuntai Town is low and weak. On average, they only have the strength of second-rate warriors. How can they stop the furious innate warrior Yuan Qihu?
His swordsmanship is fierce.
With one knife, it directly split the demon into two halves from the beginning to the end.
The corpse of "Dian Xiaoer" after his death revealed the ugly and terrifying original form.
This time, the three demon slayers no longer had any doubts, knowing that what Su Mu showed them was true.
"Let's do it together!"
Yuan Yanhu shouted loudly.
Then the three demon slayers used their methods to fight the demons in the restaurant.
Their strength is not bad, and they slaughtered all the demons in the restaurant in a short time.
Gu Rong
But when they went out, all three of them were stunned!
The perimeter of the restaurant is full of monsters, and you can't see the edge at a glance!
Even though the strength of these monsters is very low, such a huge number still makes the scalp of Yuan Yanhu and the three numb!
"Damn it! This town is a devil's den, and there is no one alive! Brothers, what should I do?"
Yuan Yanhu asked the other two.
"What else can I do, just bite the bullet and go out, one can live is one!"
"Anyway, on the first day of becoming a monster slayer, I thought that one day I would die at the hands of the monster."
Meng Yao had a determined look on her face and was not afraid.
At the juncture of life and death, this charming woman has a bit of pride.
As for the old drunk, he silently took out the largest gourd around his waist, as if he was ready for a deadly battle.
"Don't panic, big guy, there is me."
At this moment of crisis, Su Mu stood up.
I saw him pinch the magic, and a fire dragon appeared, roaring and rushing towards the group of demons.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the flames splashed and the heat wave rolled.
A large number of demons were blasted into slag, and they burst open one after another!
This supernatural power of Su Mu, forcibly opened up a wide blood path, leading directly to the outside of the town!
"Good guy, so you are a master of qi refining!"
Seeing this scene, Yuan Yanhu was both surprised and happy.
Although they knew that Su Mu had some strength when they were on the road, they never thought that he was so strong, and he was also a Qi refiner!
Meng Yao's eyes looking at Su Mu were also brilliant.
Even the old alcoholic had a look of surprise on his face.
At this critical juncture of life and death, Su Mu suddenly showed such a powerful strength, so that the three of them saw the hope of life, how could they not be excited?
In fact, the move just now was not the power of the Fire Dragon Mantra.
Su Mu has only been practicing for a day, but he still can't display such a powerful supernatural power.
The Fire Dragon Curse is just a cover up, the real power of this move comes from the Heavenly Dragon Ghost.
...
"Stop gossip, the residents of this town are all demons, leave quickly!"
After a low drink, Su Mu led the way.
I saw that he used some magical powers from time to time to kill the raging monsters.
Yuan Chuhu, Meng Yao, and the old alcoholic followed closely behind him, destroying some demons that came from behind.
Unconsciously, Su Mu has become the leader of this small group.
Under his leadership, everyone "difficulty" out of Yuntai Town.
As a result, before I could catch my breath, I heard a loud noise from Yuntai Town!
Everyone looked back and saw a giant monster that looked like a centipede and a dragon in the town.
This giant monster is huge, 100 meters long!
Even though the terrifying momentum was separated by several miles, Yuan Chuhu, Meng Yao and the old drunkard were all icy cold!
Looking at it from a distance, the three of them have the feeling that they have walked on the line of life and death!
This is a powerful presence they have never seen before!
Fortunately, the terrifying monster didn't chase them down, and after showing his face, it went silent again.
...
The group hurriedly ran away desperately, and stopped to rest for a while after escaping without strength.
Yuan Chuhu had lingering fears in his heart, and panted and said:
"There are still such terrifying monsters in this town, I'm afraid that the master is not its opponent!"
"Fortunately, Brother Su Mu reminded me in time and saved my life."
"Otherwise, I can only stuff the giant monster's teeth with a hundred, it's too scary!"
"Such a great favor, I can't repay it!"
Saying that, he cast a grateful look at Su Mu.
Hearing this, Su Mu took out the jug of wine that the old alcoholic gave him when they parted, took a sip and said with a smile:
"If you say thank you, I'll talk about it later, and leave here first. It will be bad if the giant monster catches up."
Meng Yao nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Yes! Hurry back to Yanjing and report the situation here."
"The giant monster looked like a centipede just now, I remember the national teacher..."
Meng Yao didn't say anything later, but the three of them understood.
The real national teacher Purdue did not conceal his true identity, and those who knew him basically knew what kind of existence he was.
Speaking of this, the old alcoholic had a rare stern face and said very seriously:
"This matter in Yuntai Town, I'm afraid it's not something we, the herringbone monster slayers, can handle."
"We can't even see through the various disguises in this town, and the deceived people go round and round."
"It's better to go back and report the situation here to the superiors and let them deal with it."
Seeing that the three of them had reached an agreement, a faint smile appeared on Su Mu's face.
...
Why did Su Mu deliberately let the Heavenly Dragon and Ghost appear at the last moment?
The purpose is to let the high-level officials of the Town Demon Division know that a giant monster suspected of being a national teacher appeared in Yuntai Town and killed a monster slayer!
The three monster slayers who came to investigate also barely escaped with the help of his Su Mu.
Otherwise, he will die in the hands of the "centipede spirit".
In this way, Su Mu can not only join the Demon Suppression Division, but also throw a **** pot on the head of the national teacher, causing conflicts between the two parties as much as possible.
This move kills two birds with one stone, wonderful!
...
In fact, Su Mu's original plan was not like this.
He originally planned to kill the tree demon in Yuntai Town directly, to see if he could find Yun Qingkong.
After some investigation, Nai He found that the strength of the tree demon had improved a little over the past few decades.
You must know that this tree demon was originally a dragon blood tree with deep Taoism.
The strength was very strong when he first turned into a demon, and now it is even more difficult to deal with after improving!
Su Mu wasn't sure enough to take it down, so he didn't take action against it for the time being.
However, Su Mu found the missing monster slayer.
There was no accident, the monster slayer was completely dead.
All that was left was a pile of broken bones, not even clothes.
If it weren't for the waist card with a herringbone size, Su Mu would not be able to confirm his identity at all.
Beside the pile of bones, Su Mu found a strange statue.
This statue is somewhat like a deity used for worship, and consists of three main bodies.
They are a circling centipede, an octopus with its teeth and claws, and a three-headed serpent roaring in the sky.
Among them, the appearance of the centipede is very similar to the original form of the national teacher Purdue!
This made Su Mu's eyes sink, and he instantly thought of a lot of things.
But other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything magical about this statue, so I can only keep it for later research.
