Chapter 426 Growth and Breakthrough
Half an hour later.
Shen Ping and others chased the wolf demon's lair. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary mountain col. However, after entering the cave, they found that it was very deep inside and the cave was winding and rugged, like a spider web. There are also many forked roads. If you don't have some means, you will definitely get lost here.
When those wolf demons escaped here, they naturally didn’t worry about members of the Demon Suppression Department chasing after them.
There is a fishy smell everywhere in the cave.
Lian Nishang wrinkled her little face, feeling very uncomfortable.
In fact, you can use the power of your blood to hold your sense of smell, but if you do this, you will lose track of the wolf demon. Although Yan Jin and other old members have other means, they only chase after more than a dozen side roads. It can only be distinguished by smell and experience.
Ouch!
Just when they came to another fork in the road and didn't know how to make a decision, a wolf roar came from the depths of a fork in the road.
“Chase!”
Yan Jin shouted immediately.
Shen Ping frowned, "Brother Yan, it's possible that the wolf demon lured the tiger away from the mountain and deliberately lured us in through this fork in the road."
Yan Jin shook his head, "Even if we know it's the wolf demon now, We have to catch up even if we are tempted. There are five forks around us. We cannot separate, otherwise we will fall into the trap."
Chen Keye said: "Yes, little brother Shen, you must remember when facing these monsters. , we cannot act separately. We in the Demon Suppression Department have suffered losses in this area before. If this branch of the road does not work, then go back and take another branch of the road. We would rather waste more time than make fun of our own lives. ”
Shen Ping understood.
As long as their team stays together, no matter how many wolf demons there are, they will not pose any threat to them. On the contrary, if they act separately, the wolf demons can be defeated one by one.
So the group of people immediately followed the branch road where the wolf roared just now and quickly went deep.
Only half a cup of tea.
They saw the wolf demon. This wolf demon was extremely fast, and because it was familiar with the terrain, it kept them behind. Even the wind element Chen Ke couldn't catch up.
Shen Ping has broken through to the fourth level a long time ago and is not far away from the fifth level bloodline. If he really pursues with all his strength, he can catch up, but he is not too outstanding. After all, he follows Yan Jin here. The mission is mainly to hunt down and accumulate experience. When he can hunt monsters alone in the future, he will be able to show off his strength as he pleases.
However, Lian Nishang had no such thoughts. She chased him for a while, and at a fork in the road, she seized the opportunity to use her water bloodline ability to slow down the wolf demon.
“Okay!”
See this.
Yan Jin, Chen Ke and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly chased after the wolf monster to kill it.
After walking forward for a while, the fishy smell in the air became lighter.
"Go back."
In this way, the group of people wasted a full two days in the cave deep in the mountain col. Relying on Lian Nishang and Shen Ping's occasional bloodline abilities, they killed the remaining wolves. Five heads among demons.
“Damn it, these monsters are so cunning!”
“Now I even wonder if this place is the lair of the wolf monster!”
Chen Ke gritted his teeth and said bitterly , "Yantou, what should I do?"
During this period, they returned to the mountain col. The peripheral members of Jizhen who were guarding there were not attacked by the wolf demon. It was obvious that the wolf demon was still in the cave deep in the mountain, or that there were other exits in the mountain col.
“We don’t have enough dry food, so we should go back to town first.”
Yan Jin made a decision.
Come to Ji Town.
After living in the arranged courtyard, they discussed how to deal with these wolf monsters after a full meal.
The simplest way is to go to the county's Demon Town Department to apply for demon hunting powder. This powder, when sprinkled on the monster, will leave an aura that can be sensed with the power of blood. It, together with the rhinoceros tung oil, are all former demon hunting members. It comes standard, but if you want to use it now, you must apply.
But just to hunt down a wolf demon that is not yet the third level, Lieutenant Lei will definitely not agree to using demon chasing powder.
“Wait.”
“Wait for those wolf demons to come out on their own initiative.”
Night.
Inside the house.
Shen Ping and Lian Nishang sat opposite each other.
Lian Nishang held her chin in her white and tender hands, propped it on the table, and muttered: "Monster hunting turns out to be so troublesome. It is completely different from what the teacher taught in the school. Brother Shen, you said those dynasties should allocate Items, why are they not distributed now? If we have those things, it will be much easier to hunt monsters, and we don’t have to wait here."
Shen Ping said casually, "The Great Xia Dynasty has a vast territory and needs money. There are many places. Although the materials required for these basic monster hunting supplies are not precious, they are a large expense to distribute in various places. It is normal for the Demon Suppression Department to save some. "
There is nothing new under the sun.
In the middle and late period of the Great Xia Dynasty, the finances were unable to make ends meet, and corruption was prevalent. It was no big deal to embezzle some materials to enrich one's own pockets.
The Demon Suppressing Division hunts demons and protects and governs the common people, but so what, the common people have nothing to do with the upper echelons of the dynasty.
"Okay, don't think about this. I ordered someone to boil a large bucket of hot water. You can wash it well and get rid of the smell."
Shen Ping said with a smile.
Lian Nishang hummed, "Thank you, Brother Shen."
In the next two days, while they were waiting, they also wandered around Jizhen. Shen Ping bought some spices and mixed them into fragrant powder and asked Lian Nishang to wear it so that he would not be smelly next time when he went to hunt monsters.
"Brother Shen is so kind to me."
"We grew up together."
Shen Ping pinched his fair face that could be broken by wearing colorful clothes. , said with a smile.
Lian Nishang smiled, then hugged Shen Ping's arm, rubbing the newly growing chest curve back and forth, "How about we go to the mountain col and have a look, maybe we can find the wolf demon?"< br>
This girl is dishonest.
To this.
He understands very well. After all, he is twelve years old and will soon reach puberty. He does not want to hunt monsters step by step.
But Shen Ping had a serious face, "No, if we turn around and let Lieutenant Lei know, we won't be able to hunt monsters together in the future."
Lian Nishang suddenly pouted, no He said happily, "Brother Shen, why are you as rigid as Colonel Lei? Let's just go secretly."
Tsk.
Brother Shen was so kind to me before, but he turned into a rigid person in an instant.
“No.”
“Humph, ignore you.”
Lian Nishang returned to the yard angrily, sulking, and stayed there for two whole days. Talk to Shen Ping.
Shen Ping didn't care either. He calmed down his aura quietly at night, and then left Jizhen. He used the power of his bloodline to create his own thunder escape, and reached the mountain pass in just a cup of tea.
Enter the cave deep in the mountain col. Relying on the powerful power of blood, smelling the fishy stench in the air, he moved quickly through the forks.
Those old members of Yan Jin did not pursue demon fans to target the wolf demon, but he had memory skills and some tracking methods were readily available.
After half a stick of incense.
He came to the deepest part of the col.
I saw the wolf demon leader soaking in a pool of blood, and the remaining three wolf demons were guarding the three forks. The aura of the wolf demons continued to increase, obviously wanting to increase their strength.
“It’s actually earth plasma. No wonder twelve wolf monsters can be born and awakened in a small mountain forest!”
A smile appeared in Shen Ping’s eyes.
Earth plasma is one of the treasures of heaven and earth. It is much stronger than Baishouguo. Ordinary people have a great chance of awakening special bloodlines when soaked in it, rather than bloodlines such as strength and agility.
Tsk tsk.
Several thunderballs were thrown out.
The wolf demon minions were killed before they could even resist.
The leader of the wolf demon was alert, but facing Shen Ping, who was almost at the fifth level, he quickly became a corpse under the knife. After simply disposing of the wolf demon's corpse, he walked directly into the blood plasma.
Chichi.
Suddenly, the strong power of blood eroded Shen Ping's body from all directions.
Close your eyes and feel it for a while.
He opened his eyes, shook his head and said: "It's just ordinary earth plasma, which can be upgraded to the third level at most. Although it is very valuable to sell, it is better than nothing to me."
The body sank.
Shen Ping searched in the underground plasma pool, and soon found a place similar to a spring. He dug out the spring and continued to dive deeper along the narrow channel of the spring. The further down, the power of blood The richer it becomes.
He kept digging and diving.
About a few hundred feet away, I saw a strange blood-red lotus.
“It is indeed the Blood Lotus.”
“The five lotus leaves are of medium quality, not bad!”
He put the Blood Lotus away, and then added Carefully sensing the surroundings, it was a pity that there was nothing else. Of course, Shen Ping knew that his strength was too low. If it was the cultivation level before reincarnation, he could trace the origin through the Earth Blood Lotus with his huge spiritual consciousness and see what energy gave birth to it. Earth Blood Lotus.
Return to the town courtyard.
Yan Jin and others were already asleep. They didn't know that the wolf demon leader and the rest had been killed by Shen Ping.
Inside the house.
Picked off a bloody lotus leaf and Shen Ping swallowed it directly.
Boom.
The energy hidden deep in the blood within his body surged, and bursts of powerful blood power continued to rise, nourishing his limbs and bones.
“I’m going to have a breakthrough!”
Although he had seen the effect of Earth Blood Lotus in the Sutra Pavilion, he still didn’t expect that just one lotus leaf would give him a breakthrough. signs.
Calm down immediately.
According to the "Lifeline Technique", the absorption operation was carried out. After several hours, the surging blood power gradually calmed down, and he successfully broke through to the fifth level.
Fifth-level bloodline awakeners can already fly in the air, but they can only fly at low altitudes and cannot maintain it for too long. Only when they reach the star realm can they truly fly in the air.
Concentrate your breath.
Shen Ping stood up and walked out of the house.
For other bloodline awakened people to break through to the fifth level, that is a great joy, because the fifth level is a big threshold for the bloodline awakening people, more than 70% cannot be crossed, and reaching the fifth level , you can become a general and sit in charge of a city.
But Shen Ping's face was calm, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations. He was reincarnated into this world to find opportunities, not to improve himself.
"Earth Blood Lotus is considered a low-grade treasure among the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in this world, and the Blood Spirit Ginseng and Earthly Dragon Crystal which are higher up are considered to be mid-grade... The real chance should be at least a high-grade heavenly material and earthly treasure. . ”
The bloodline contains the power of the five elements of wind and thunder. Even the bloodline system of the demon clan, the spirit clan and other ethnic groups cannot do this. They have to rely on practice to obtain this magical ability.
Therefore, he guessed from the bottom of his heart that the bloodline of this world should be the same as the bloodline of strange beasts, and were derived from the principles of heaven and earth.
"Brother Shen, where are we going to play today?"
As soon as we reached the door of Lian Nishang's house, the latter walked out quickly, pulling Shen Ping's neighbor and said.
"You're not angry with me anymore?"
"How could Nishang be angry with Brother Shen."
Lian Nishang said delicately.
Shen Ping rolled his eyes secretly, but he didn't care about it. In his opinion, Lian Nishang was just like a little girl. It was very normal to have some small tempers. She was a girl.
“I’ve visited all the fun places in town, but there’s not much to see.”
"Let's go shopping again."
"Okay, okay."
For more than ten days in a row.
Shen Ping accompanies Lian Nishang every day, but the wolf demon has never been seen, staring at the peripheral members at the entrance of the mountain and constantly reporting.
See this.
Yan Jin frowned and said: "Well, this wolf demon shouldn't come out again in a short time. Let Jizhen keep an eye on it while we go back first."
They are not worried about the failure of the mission. After all, they have already attacked Killing eight wolf monsters is enough to complete the mission.
Although Lian Nishang wants to stay here to slay demons, he can only obey orders.
With the demon hunting experience in Jizhen this time, and the fact that Shen Ping and Lian Nishang did not mess around, Lei Xiaowei continued to arrange for the two of them to follow the old members out to hunt demons. With these two third-level monsters, most of the missions can be solved easily, because Li County is not a capital city, and third-level monsters rarely appear within its jurisdiction. Even if there are, there are only two or three occasionally. Basically, Lieutenant Lei will know Take action.
After two years of growth.
She became more and more proficient in hunting monsters by practicing neon clothes, and sometimes she could even be on her own. At the same time, in the past two years, she grew from a little girl next door to a famous female monster hunter in the Monster Suppression Department.
"Great! Brother Shen, Lieutenant Lei finally agreed to let us go on a separate mission to hunt monsters!"
The single-family courtyard of the Demon Suppression Department.
Seeing Lian Nishang jumping up and down with joy, Shen Ping's eyes fell on the swaying breast curve, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This girl has finally grown up."
