Chapter Thirty-six Hunting the Sword Demon
After a night of fierce battle, the Travelers Caravan and his group killed fifteen centurion-level monsters just! In the rules of the alliance, this means at least fifteen three-star missions. When the operation set off, Old Dyke promised that all the battles that occurred on the way would be paid according to the standard of formal missions. This means that adventurers can also enjoy various benefits of regular witch hunters during this journey, so even if there are casualties, the morale of the team is still strong.
After a night of fierce battle, everyone seemed a little tired even with the endless fire support of the Traveler Caravan. It was necessary to maintain a full rest in the field, but Old Dyke still ordered to continue his departure.
On the road, although not as dense as yesterday, there are still continuous warcraft of various colors attacking the caravans. And they are basically superior warcraft that are close to the strength of the centurion.
In broad daylight, there are only one or two ends each time, so it is not a big threat to the guards and adventurers. However, every time a group is killed, the next wave will appear, and it will consume people's energy one after another, and it will be very annoying.
Old Dyke looked at the wolf-shaped monster on the left side of the team being torn to pieces by machine gun fire and said coldly: "It seems that we are really being targeted. These monsters are simply organized actions."
Fan Li was also sitting in the command car, playing with his dagger with his fingertips: "Look at the types, even the monsters in Linzhou hundreds of miles away were summoned... The enemy is very capable! Who will it be?"
"Who else? Are you just the black guys?" Old Dyke looked ferocious and snorted angrily, "Traitors who surrender to the demon world!"
Fan Li shook his head: "You can't say that. Those people didn't surrender to the demon world, but they just admired the power even more..."
"What's the difference? They're always just traitors. If I'm touched, I'll definitely kill them without leaving any one!"
"It's not a bad thing," Fan Li laughed, "Although I don't know the specific reason, this time they gathered all the monsters around them. Wouldn't it be convenient for us to catch them all in one go? In this way, the power of the abyss in this area will form a blank period of at least three months. During this period, it will be much more convenient for people to travel, and if they seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to push the front line at all."
"You are really confident." Old Dyke looked at him strangely, "Only people don't have such optimistic thoughts, right?"
Vanley shrugged: "I noticed that there are no strong guys in the monsters that attacked us at the level of a commander... Since that's the case, it doesn't matter how much I come."
"I forgot that you are a famous 'cleaner' in the league."
"The old man has gone too far. I'm just good at dealing with some insignificant little guys." Fan Li smiled and looked up at the sky, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, since the old man doesn't want to say, I won't ask too much, but let's just confirm that the 'that thing' that the enemy targets is still safe now? Yesterday's incident made me a little concerned: the ghost demon leopard, the sword demon, the group of monsters... three consecutive attacks, but the only sword demon is the most dangerous, and he is the only demon that appears. Looking back, I always feel that the timing of his appearance is a bit subtle."
Old Dyke's face changed immediately, he hurriedly left the command room and leaned towards the truck behind him.
Fan Li couldn't expect that he would hit the nail on the head and was stunned for a moment: "Oh, it seems that things are a bit big."
So he also left here and jumped back to the walking car he was riding...
That new recruit named Ling Yu was really unexpectedly capable!
Fan Li flexibly jumped back to the car he was originally riding in between the walking cars, which was also the one that Ling Yu was riding in.
Ling Yu was doing tarot card divination at this time. The more unique one was that he placed his handbag on his thigh as a table and set up a card formation. Due to limited space, it is probably impossible for normal cards to be placed; however, Ling Yu used a weak version of cards, and each card was only the size of a thumb.
Although each card is beautifully made, it still looks very weird.
"Well, what are you?" Van Li asked astonished, "Is this... useful?"
If it is a profession like a prophet, it is still quite reliable to use tarot cards to divine, but the decks they use are all special props, which cannot be used casually with a deck of cards. And Ling Yiu is fiddling with now, and it looks more like a toy no matter how you look at it!
"It's a good fortune." Ling Yu said dullly, then disrupted the card formation, "Is there anything wrong with uncle?"
"Why don't we catch the sword demon last night together?" Van Li said in a low voice, "The last bullet you fired is a tracker, right?"
Ling Yu looked at him in surprise: "Can you see this too?"
"Haha, it's not obvious, but there's a guy in our studio who likes to use this trick." Fan Li smiled, "How about it? Since you've prepared everything, don't waste it."
Ling Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and was eager to try: "This is how it is, but are we the only two of us going?"
"Yes, I can just borrow a motorcycle from Old Dyke. He is busy now, and I'm afraid he doesn't have time to pay attention to us."
Soon, a three-wheeled standby motorcycle left the caravan and deviated from the route of the convoy and rushed in the other direction.
"Why should I bring me with you?" Ling Yu sat next to him and asked, "Uncle, you should also have your own tracking methods, right?"
"Since you have already marked it, why do I have to try to track it yourself?" Vanley said loudly, "And my purpose has always been clear, boy! Come to our studio, I am very optimistic about you!"
"Hey, you are so persistent that I feel a little embarrassed to refuse." Ling Yu said helplessly, "But I really don't want to make a decision at the moment..."
"Haha, I know, teenager! Young people always want to go out for more fun. Don't worry, even if you join the studio, you will be very free. You won't force you to do tasks or something... Well, maybe this is the case in our studio."
"Although I do graduate from the recruit battalion, I think my job is not a witch hunter, but a maker." Ling Yu said, "The witch hunter must be a combat profession, right? I can be an equipment consultant for your studio."
Lingyao chose a more compromise method.
"Don't say that, boy!" Fan Li said as he patted the motorcycle, "You see, don't you like fighting and hunting very much! He came out without hesitation!"
"No, it's just a habit." Ling Yu was silent before answering.
"Just get used to it. Do you think the number of excellent witch hunters is so limited? It's because there are too few people accustomed to fighting!"
"..." Ling Yu was speechless, "Uncle, you can go to the debate competition."
"Haha, if you are traveling outside alone, you need some language communication skills."
"Forget it, be careful, you'll get closer to the target!" Ling Yu decisively changed the topic.
"Oh! It's not too far. It seems that the sword demon didn't escape much."
...
In the golden sparse grassland, the sword demon centurion Montero Augusta was sitting on a stone, using the broken bone knife to reach the back with a hard effort, carefully digging out the bullet that had nailed into his back last night.
Ding, metal fell on the stone and made a clear collision sound.
Montero took a deep breath, ignored the pain of the injuries on his body, reached out and pinched the bullet stained with his own blood, and put it in front of him to look carefully: the sharp bullet was engraved with a smooth pattern like running water - an alchemy bullet, which was why it could easily shoot through his skin. Of course, the young man was crazy about firing rifle bullets with a pistol to close the fire.
He turned over the bullet and looked at the bottom: "It's indeed a concentric spider, a cunning human..."
