"I have never seen such hopeless trash like you!" When all the new recruits from the Demon Hunting Sect gathered in the training ground, Xu Zhenqing said, "Your hands are only designed to pick dung, and you are not qualified to hold a sword. If it were up to me

If you see it, I will send you all to raise pigs."

Then he started to call names: "Toad, stupid pig, big stupid ox, wild ass..."

"Elder Xu, I have a name..."

"Pah!" Xu Zhenqing slapped the recruit in the face with his backhand, "I said you are called a stupid pig, so you will be called a stupid pig. You are not allowed to eat tonight." He roared, "You dirty trash...

I listened carefully.

Don’t think that when you come to the Demon Hunting Gate, the sins you have committed will be forgotten. Murderers, robbers, thieves, and liars. If the Emperor of Great Xia gives you a chance to reform, you must atone for your sins!

Now, each pair of people should stand facing each other."

All the recruits immediately obeyed.

"Very good, at least you are not deaf and you are not idiots!" Xu Zhenqing shouted again:

"Listen up, bastards. Now, do everything you can to defeat the person opposite you, dead or alive! The winner will have food to eat and a place to sleep at night. The loser will stand here until dawn.

The battle begins!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the new recruits had no choice but to fight together.

"Elder, isn't it appropriate to treat recruits like this?" Qi Rushong said.

"Do you have any opinions? You bastard!" a demon hunting disciple mocked.

Qi Rusong hated this nickname, and Xu Zhenqing had called him that since the last incident. Other disciples of the Demon Hunting Sect who followed Xu Zhenqing also followed suit.

"No matter what they did before, they are our brothers now that they have joined the Demon Hunting Sect!" Qi Rushong said, "Please treat them in a fair manner, just like you treat your subordinates."

"If you are willing to associate with criminals, no one can stop you," one of Xu Zhenqing's men said, "After all, you are a bastard, huh!"

"Would you like to try again?"

"So what?" Another of Xu Zhenqing's subordinates said, "I really don't know what method your mother used to climb into the prince's bed and give birth to such a bastard like you."

"Eighty percent is the cousin from Piaoxianglou."

"You fucking die!" Qi Rusong couldn't bear it. He pulled out the dragon light and wanted to fight to the death with those people.

However, Elder Wu stopped him, "Stop it all! Stop it immediately!" His words were like a knife cutting through the air.

"The Demon Hunting Sect needs every bit of strength. Mr. Xu Zhang, tell them to stop! Otherwise, if anything happens to these new recruits, I'm asking for you!"

Although Elder Wu is at the same level as Xu Zhenqing, no one would question his second-in-command status in the Southern Territory Demon Hunting Sect.

Xu Zhenqing had no choice but to wave his hand and tell the recruits to stop.

"And you, Qi Rushong, keep saying that we are all brothers, but you always draw your sword! Do you treat brothers with fists?"

"He said my mother was..."

"It's a cousin, I heard it, so what?"

Qi Rusong was so angry that his whole body became cold. "Can I leave?"

"You can do it only if I say yes." Elder Wu said: "Your mother will not become a cousin just by talking about it. What kind of person she is is what others say. What does it have to do with what others say?

.

Having said that, there are some people in our demon hunting sect whose mothers are cousins."

Not my mother. He knew nothing about his mother, and Qitai never mentioned anything about her. But he often dreamed of her, so often that he could almost piece together her appearance.

In the dream, she was of noble birth, beautiful, and had kind eyes.

"You think you are the prince's illegitimate son, so you feel particularly uncomfortable?" Elder Wu continued, "Let me tell you, the Demon Hunting Sect has the son of a skilled woman, and now he is the deacon of the Demon Hunting Sect.

Origin does not mean everything, I have seen too many civilian heroes and countless noble bastards!"

After saying that, he gave Xu Zhenqing and others a vicious look.

"Let's go!" Xu Zhenqing gave Elder Wu a look in return, and then left with his men.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of the demon hunting door being pushed open.

"The deputy sect leader is back."

Marvin rode a white horse at the front, followed by more than thirty people.

At the same time, the demon hunting sect disciples brought back a cart filled with corpses.

It turned out that two months ago, news came from the Ghost Forest that the monsters had broken through the seal and attacked the people.

Marvin immediately sent Stone Snake and Mad Wolf to eliminate the demon.

But a month passed and no one came back.

The situation was serious, so Marvin personally led the team and went to the Ghost Forest to look for Stone Snake and others.

But now they only brought back the corpses of eight disciples.

"This is him." One of the Demon Hunting Sect disciples announced, "There's no mistake, it's them!"

"Carry them to Elder Wu's room!" Marvin ordered.

Elder Wu directed others to carry the corpses of the Demon Hunting Sect brothers one by one into the autopsy room. They turned the corpses over and then stacked them neatly.

The corpse's face was pale and its blue eyes were wide open.

"They are all under Stone Snake!" Qi Rushong said secretly.

Stone Snake: Deacon of the Demon Hunting Sect, [Fourth-Level Great Sword Master], a strong man.

He remembered how he had begged to go with them when he heard that the monster clan was harming the people in the southern border more than a month ago. If he had taken me, maybe I would be lying here instead...

"God is merciful." Ma Wen murmured. He took off his armor and handed it to his disciple. It was an unusually warm dusk, but the broad forehead of the deputy master of the Demon Hunting Sect was covered with beads of sweat.

You brought thirty-three people with you, where did the others go?"

The mad wolf shook his head, "It would be great if I knew!" They split into two groups in order to expand the search range.

Marvin was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer. "Eight brothers died unexpectedly, but you don't know anything about it. Has the Demon Hunting Sect become so lazy? You haven't found any clues?"

"Of course there is, Master, but..."

"This disciple has a hunting horn on him," Marvin said, pointing to one of the corpses. "Do you want me to believe that he didn't even blow a sound before he died? Or your men are not only blind, but also deaf.

?

The mad wolf was so angry that his hair stood on end, and his face was full of anger. "Master, no one blows the horn, otherwise my people will definitely hear it. Now the Demon Hunting Sect is short of manpower, and it is impossible to patrol as carefully as you intend."

Marvin muttered: "Oh, that's right. Let's forget it." He waved his hand impatiently. "Elder Wu, come here and tell me how they died."

"Follow your orders!" Elder Wu said, grabbing his scalp and grabbing his head. The hair bundles fell from his fingers, as crispy as straw.

"Why are these corpses so fresh? It doesn't look like they were dead for more than a day..."

"That's not right!" Mad Wolf screamed, "The Ghost Forest is five days away from here, and they had been dead for a long time when they were discovered."

"It's indeed wrong..." Qi Rushong said.

Marvin looked up at him and said, "Keep talking."

"Please look at...this blood. There is no bleeding from the severed limbs. You see, the blood of a person who has just died will still flow, and it will clot later."

Elder Wu immediately understood what he meant. He could see the broken blood vessels in the dead man's wrist, like iron worms in the pale muscles, and the blood was frozen into black powder.

"If they had really been dead for more than a day, they would stink terribly by now. But they have no smell at all!" Elder Wu asked.

"They are not rotten, and there are no maggots on them. Moreover, they have been lying in the forest for so long, but... they have not been bitten or eaten by animals... they can be said to be unscathed."

The mad wolf also reacted, "Yes, neither the horses nor the hunting dogs wanted to get close to their bodies! In the end, we had to rely on manpower to pull their bodies back."

The demon hunting disciples exchanged looks with each other, and everyone knew that this was true.

Marvin frowned. Horses are timid, but hounds that dare to fight wild beasts may...

"Crazy wolf, go and bring the hunting dogs."

The mad wolf quickly obeyed and pulled the dog leash forward, but most of the hunting dogs were whimpering and determined not to move.

He tried to pull one of them by force, but it resisted desperately, roared and twisted, trying to break free from the collar, and finally jumped towards him.

"Look at this again," Qi Rusong made a new discovery, "Look at this blood... There are blood stains on their clothes, and their skin is so dry and hard. It is said that their wounds are so deep... the blood should be splashed everywhere!

"

Silence enveloped the room, and for a moment everyone could only hear Elder Wu's heavy breathing.

"It's the snow demon." Elder Wu announced the answer. "The snow demon's frost demon power can do it."

"It is also possible that he is a [water spirit practitioner] possessed by a time-traveling demon," Qi Rushong said.

In addition to [Soul Spirits], Daxia Kingdom also has [Thunder, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind] and other [Demon Spirit] cultivators. Their strength is divided into primary level, intermediate level, high level, demon level, and great demon level.

[Demon Spirit] is also rare among practitioners. It can only be understood by practicing spiritual energy to a certain level. In addition, children of the five major families can also obtain it through the blood inheritance of their ancestors.

From ancient times to the present, a person can only realize one of the powers of [demon spirits]. Only the Gu family of the Great Xia Emperor can possess both [demon spirits] at the same time.

"In that case! Sect Master, you should now gather your disciples and go to the Ghost Forest to eliminate the demons. If necessary, you should ask Prince Qi for support." Crazy Wolf suggested.
