Chapter 61
As Zhou Chaolin said, the Demon Hunting Guild is not weak, and it can even be said that they are the semi-official organization with the strongest combat capability in Qingding County except Jingyesi.
After all, they are a group of people who deal with monsters all day long. They can pick up any of them, even if they don’t have any special abilities, and they are outstanding and powerful people among ordinary people.
But now it is indeed their weakest time.
On the one hand, the few outstanding demon hunting teams in the guild were all in the Lianfeng Mountains. Regardless of whether they could come back or not, it would be very difficult to even make the news spread.
On the other hand, as Zhang Guard Chen said before, the Demon Hunting Guild never considered seeking Jing Yesi's help from beginning to end. Even if people die outside, they rushed to the mountain and were eaten by the monster as snacks, they would not be able to compromise with Jing Yesi.
Lu Jiu doesn’t know whether the “truth” will follow, at least in this state now.
This led to the remaining demon hunting teams gathered in Qingding City to discuss ways to deal with the monster. The demon hunting guild also temporarily issued a task with extremely high rewards for this, which can be regarded as a hint that as long as the trouble can be solved as soon as possible, it would be fine even if you spend money to find foreign players.
"The original body of that demon is a deer. The ability to fight head-on is very weak. The biggest problem is its extraordinary ability that has now changed, and it is mysterious!"
After roughly explaining the situation, the Zhou Dynasty finally mentioned the most critical part.
"The demon hunting guild was raising it because this ability could fog in the mountains, thus covering up the guild building. Occasionally, outsiders mistakenly entered the resident site and were sent out without a trace... Normally, this ability would not cause any harm to people, but because of this unintentional mutation, the ability of the scented deer that had become a demon ghost also changed mutations. The news brought back by our people was that the miasma not only became more intense, but also seemed to have other changes. At present, it is certain that the air in the mountains suddenly became as thin as the plateau environment. Normal people would have problems if they couldn't stay in it for long!"
"So those oxygen cylinders downstairs are prepared to enter the miasma?"
Zhou Chaolin's description of the demon made Lu Jiu immediately think of the scene he saw at the inn gate. At the same time, he also thought that this ability seemed not suitable for him, and what he needed was a more direct attack method.
"That's right, after our internal discussion, only by finding the body of fragrant miasma can we completely kill it, so we prepared those tools. However, although the oxygen cylinder alone can maintain normal activity in the miasma, it is extremely difficult for us ordinary people to find monsters when the miasma is permeated."
The demon hunters are accustomed to using various tools to fight monsters, but now they are also counterattacked by relying on tools. Zhou Chaolin looked at Lu Jiu and continued,
"This is why all the teams in our guild have been looking for help from the demon vein masters these days. After the demon vein masters have been strengthened by the five senses, they can still keenly sense the location of the monster's body even in that state... I asked proudly, Brother Lu's hearing should have awakened, right?"
Seeing Lu Jiu so young, Zhou Chaolin obviously did not expect him to complete the awakening of the five senses.
"I was lucky to succeed a few days ago."
Actually, it was only yesterday that I succeeded, but there is no need to tell the truth at this time.
"That would be great. As long as Brother Lu is willing to help, we can provide a reward of 1 golden leaf!"
When Zhou Chaolin heard that Lu Jiu had completed his hearing awakening, he immediately showed a hint of joy on his face. This was the most critical condition.
"I am happy to help you, but my combat experience with monsters is really poor. My weapons were damaged a few days ago and are currently being repaired in the Liu Craftshop."
This is the truth. The pair of mechanical arm guards are still being repaired in the Liu Craftshop. At least they have to be completed tomorrow night. All Lu Jiu can use revolver and short sword on hand. It is okay to deal with people, but it is obviously inappropriate to deal with huge monsters.
"That's how..."
Zhou Chaolin looked at Lu Jiu, feeling a little reluctant but stopped, but soon put away his expression, thinking that he was too anxious. The young man in front of him knew that he had just become a demon vein shortly after he was looking forward to it. Isn't it nonsense to expect him to fight with the demons? So he quickly changed his words,
"It doesn't matter. As long as Brother Lu can help us lock the position of the demon, we can leave the battle matters to us, but in this way, the reward may be reduced by a portion, 60 silver dollars. I hope Brother Lu won't mind."
If it were other times, the reward would actually be cut in half or even more. After all, fighting is the key.
But now it is the time to need the help of the demon vein, but Lu Jiu is the only choice at the moment. Zhou Chaolin was a little worried that the sudden bargaining was too ruthless, and he finally found someone who was willing to help. If they were let go for this little money, they would have no place to find new tools for the time being.
At this time, other demon hunting teams were already on their way to the base. Instead of missing out on the opportunity for these dozens of silver dollars, they would suffer some losses!
"I don't participate in the battle, it's worth getting less, it's just a little bit of a request."
Lu Jiu was a little confused. His meaning was actually to ask them to provide two handy weapons... But since they misunderstood, Lu Jiu did not mean to explain it deliberately.
Just by pointing someone a way, you can get 60 silver dollars. Naturally, there is no reason to refuse. However, Lu Jiu also took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to buy some blood of the air-level monster, hoping that Zhou Chaolin could help him inquire in the future.
This matter was obviously not a difficult task for Zhou Chaolin. After hearing this, he patted his chest and agreed, and said that he would help regardless of the success or failure of the task, just to make friends with Lu Jiu.
Since the two sides reached an agreement on key issues, the rest would be simple.
In order not to be taken advantage of by other demon hunting teams, Zhou Chaolin was about to set off immediately and wanted to arrive at the hill where the demon hunting guild was located before 3 pm.
This is also to avoid night action, otherwise the mischief in the mountains and the influence of night vision will undoubtedly bring great trouble to the action.
Lu Jiu had no objection to this decision. You must know that he would go to the newspaper to work tomorrow. It would be better to be able to solve the matter before tonight. Therefore, he took advantage of the final arrangement here and immediately returned to his ancestral home to get his backpack.
Although I am just a tool to guide the way, the preparations I should have are still indispensable.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the group gathered on time at the entrance of the inn.
Compared to the first time we met, Lu Jiu was still in the same clothes, with empty hands, but had an extra backpack, and there was no nervous look on her face.
This made him look less like he was going to hunt monsters, more like he was going outings.
The Qinglan Demon Hunting Team didn't say much when they saw this scene.
