Roster of Demons

Liang Zhenguo realized that the situation was out of control. If it was true that Fang Jing speculated that the hunters intended to capture the big monster, there might be a tough battle ahead.

On the one hand, he conspired with Fang Jing to rush to the target building as soon as possible; on the other hand, he urgently contacted Fu Xueyuan to apply for additional support.

Judging from the planning map of the villa area, their group is not far from the target building.

After Liang Zhenguo and Fu Xueyuan finished talking on the phone, Fang Jing said, "They're all on missions, and there aren't many people in the meeting. Fu will make arrangements now."

"How long will it take for someone to come?" Fang Jing asked.

"At least an hour." Liang Zhenguo said.

Fang Jing frowned: "It's been too long."

"You have to rely on yourself." Liang Zhenguo switched the communicator to the communication channel of all staff, "Special [-]st and [-]rd groups, please pay attention to the logistics department. The risk factor of this operation has been upgraded. Follow the command and do not act without authorization. Repeat, this time The action risk factor has been upgraded..."

Liang Zhenguo was sending out a notice when the vehicle in front suddenly made a loud "bang" and a trail of white smoke was drawn from the rear of the vehicle.The two cars behind braked suddenly and narrowly avoided a serial collision.

"What's going on in the front?" Liang Zhenguo asked angrily, ignoring the rule that "when all staff communicate, the notification must repeat two or more sides".

"Team leader, the car has a flat tire." A young man said.

As if to confirm his words, the tire pressure monitoring system in Fang Jing's car also beeped softly.Fang Jing looked in the rearview mirror and found a long arrow stuck in the left rear wheel, and the tire was deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Be careful!" Fang Jing yelled, and threw Liang Zhenguo sideways. A long red arrow shot menacingly, piercing the front windshield, and obliquely inserted into the back of Liang Zhenguo's seat.

"Damn it! These lunatics!" Liang Zhenguo was furious and yelled at the communicator, "Who the hell brought a crossbow? You smashed the ass of the crossbowman on the other side. I will judge you for your progress this year!"

"Team leader, you already gave the advance to the deputy team leader last month!"

"No one is talking nonsense here, withdraw!"

Everyone was chattering, but they didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.

The initial rating of this mission was only three and a half stars. Most of the people only brought close-fitting short blades, and only one who used a pure crossbow brought a pair of sleeve arrows with insufficient penetration for self-defense.

"The opponent has two crossbowmen, one at ten o'clock and the other at five o'clock." Fang Jing said, "Hurry up and kill one first. We don't have enough time to spend with them."

The crossbowmen in the group were in the first car. After Fang Jing finished speaking, he responded and did not make another movement.

The opposing crossbowmen suppressed a wave with long arrows, and then the rest emerged from their hiding places.Everyone wore a half-faced ghost mask with blue fangs, and held long and short sharp knives. They quickly approached the convoy and surrounded them.

There were eight people in Hunting Ling, and the two crossbowmen did not show up.

One of them, a ghost mask with a post-modern ponytail, stood in front of Fang Jing's car, turned his head sideways, and signaled everyone to get off the car.

Fang Jing and Liang Zhenguo quickly exchanged glances, slowly opened the car door, raised their hands as required, and stood by the car.

The man with the ponytail winked at the people around him again, and the two ghost masks stepped forward and began to search them one by one.

He swept around the field: "There is one less person!"

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, a pocket short arrow shot out from the front car, and shot out from the gap in the car glass in the opposite direction.

The ghost-faced crossbowmen all turned around, but it was too late.

With a muffled groan, the crossbowman on the tree in front left fell down.

The ghost-faced crossbowman shot an arrow at the front row of cars. The crossbowman in the car dodged in a panic, and then changed his position, aiming the pocket short arrow at the five o'clock direction.

The crossbowmen were restrained, and everyone lost their politeness. They drew out their close-fitting short blades and threw themselves at the ghost mask.For a moment, gold and stone hit each other, shouts and shouts broke out, and the two sides fought together.

Gu Zhen was half floating and half standing directly under the ventilation holes, looking up and staring closely at the row of small holes less than one centimeter in diameter.

Later, Jingwei will cast the shadow-moving technique on him, and he will hug the monster-shaped Jingwei before his body is completely atomized, and then float out of these small holes together.

"Don't be too nervous." Jingwei clasped his hands on his chest, "If you have anything to say, say it now. If we don't succeed, this will be your last words."

Gu Zhen: "...Thank you for your comfort. I'm even more nervous now."

"After I push the demon power into your body, you will have a rejection reaction immediately, and you may feel a little pain." Jingwei said.

The last person who told Gu Zhen that there would be "a little" pain made a mark on his neck, and he passed out from the pain.

So this time what Jingwei said would hurt "a little bit", Gu Zhen didn't believe it "at all".

"Be patient with the pain." Jingwei continued, "Don't be distracted, you must concentrate all your energy on the idea of ​​leaving."

While telling Gu Zhen, she pulled out the monster power from her body and slowly poured it between the palms of her hands, forming a small ball of shining light: "Once you feel that your body is different, grab me immediately. Don't Get to me early or it won't work. Think of yourself as a rising mass of air, get out of the vent and don't think about anything else. Remember, you only have ten seconds."

Gu Zhen was shocked: "Isn't it 30 seconds?"

"You're overthinking." Jingwei said, "You're neither a monster nor a spiritual descendant, so you can't be considered the best recipient of the Novoid technique. Don't say 30 seconds, ten seconds is an unknown number, I'll take care of it." I have thought about it, and you want to open it too. How about it, are you ready?"

"Wait a minute," Gu Zhen stopped her, "What if I can't get out in ten seconds?"

"Stay in the basement and drown, or half outside the air hole and half inside the air hole, stuck alive." Jingwei said, "You said you want to take a gamble. My demon power is only enough to cast the shadow move once, we Only one chance."

"...All right!" Gu Zhen gritted his teeth, "Just take a big bet!"

"I've done it." Jingwei said.

"Come on!" Gu Zhen calmed down and focused on Jingwei's palm.

The fluorescent ball was spinning, and Jingwei gently pushed it towards Gu Zhen's chest.

The moment his body touched the sphere, an overwhelming sense of suffocation enveloped him head-on.

The pain squeezed every inch of skin, every ounce of flesh and blood, clamoring for release and escape.

He wished he could rip his chest open so the air could drive in.

"Gu Zhen! Keep your spirits up!" Jing Wei's voice pierced through layers of haze and fell in his ears, as if separating reality and illusion.

He suddenly saw the distorted image of the little crow swaying in front of him, frowning and saying, "Miscellaneous, something is wrong here."

Gu Zhen took a deep breath to wake up from the rejection reaction.

All the tails of the fluorescent balls submerged into his body, and an unprecedented lightness swept up from the soles of his feet, and rushed to his chest in an instant.

Without even thinking about it, Gu Zhen grabbed the Jingwei bird flapping its wings in front of her eyes, and let the strange sensation envelop her whole body, transforming into a cloud of dark gray granular mist, pounced on the ventilation hole, and rushed out of this confinement all at once. his cage.

The fog left the basement and went straight on, without consciousness, thought, or destination.They just shuttled back and forth between villas and patches of greenery without stopping.

Gu Zhen didn't feel anything for a while, time seemed to freeze on him.

Until he suddenly realized that he should be a person, the mist lost its balance in mid-air, fell one after another, re-condensed into an adult body, and fell heavily to the ground.

The Jingwei bird flew away quickly to avoid being squeezed.

"Hey, it hurts me to death." Gu Zhen rubbed his buttocks and got up from the ground, looking around in a daze, "Where is this?"

"The way you led, you actually asked me?" Jingwei landed beside him, shaking Shang's head with water.

Where the two of them were, there were mountains on one side and a tall plant vine wall on the other.

"It seems to be outside the villa area?" Gu Zhen didn't know why.

He picked up a branch and drew a rough plan of the villa area on the ground: "Look, the reservoir is probably here, and we are probably here now."

Jingwei was taken aback: "It's so far away!"

This is definitely not a distance that can be reached in 30 seconds. She looked at Gu Zhen with the eyes of a monster: "You don't think there is anything wrong with your body?"

"No." Gu Zhen scratched his stomach, "It's just a little itchy."

Without further ado, Jingwei stepped forward and lifted his clothes.

"What are you doing if a man and a woman can't kiss each other!" Gu Zhen subconsciously went to press the corner of her clothes, looked down, was shocked by the situation on her body, and ran away with the last tune.He hurriedly lifted his clothes up, "What's going on? Why is this happening? Am I dying?"

On Gu Zhen's waist and abdomen, there is a light orange-red pattern, the pattern is similar to the small seal script of Chinese characters, and he does not know the specifics.Just as the two of them were talking, the pattern had faded from light orange to almost invisible.

"This is an engraving. Some Lingmai clans have the ability to temporarily record the magic they touch on their bodies. The content engraved on your body is the moving shadow technique. It will disappear after a long time, and no one can die." Jingwei said angrily, "Your parents picked you up, right? You don't even know you're a spiritual descendant?"

"I really don't know." Gu Zhen said, "If it doesn't kill someone, it scares me to death. Let's ignore that."

He tried the height of the vine wall: "It shouldn't be far from the little crow."

Step back a few meters, speed up the jump, and climb the vine to the top of the wall.

This end of the rattan wall is the villa area.Behind the large tree shade not far from Gu Zhen, there was a faint light flowing.

Jingwei turned into a bird shape, flapped his wings and flew to his side: "I sensed the little crow's intentions. It seems that there is a fight, which is quite dangerous. Do you want to go?"

"Go." Gu Zhen said, "Little Crow's knife is still in my hand, I want to send it to him."
