Bounty Hunter

The flames that suddenly swept over forced Di Chu's consciousness into the depths of the darkness. He tried hard to stay awake, but the warmth around him was too strong, and he finally failed to hold on and compromised to sleep.

The movement in the dantian has long subsided, and the body is warm, as if lying in a warm cloud, which feels familiar.

I don't know how long it took, but his heart suddenly felt hot, his consciousness suddenly became clear, he opened his eyes forcefully, and a dark red mask came into his eyes.

"……end?"

He frowned to suppress the sense of chaos in his head when he just woke up. After the voice came out, he realized that his throat was sore and astringent, which was very uncomfortable.

Hearing Dichu's voice that became much hoarse, Mo's eyes behind the mask sank, he turned around and took out a temporary bamboo cup, walked to the side of the creek, took a cup of water, heated it with a flame, and then used After cooling down with strength, after confirming that the temperature is just right, turn back and half-kneel in front of Di Chu, reach out to support his neck, and feed the water glass to his lips.

"Drink some water first."

Di Chu blinked vigorously and tried to regain his clarity, took a few sips of water to moisten his throat cooperatively, looked at the end, and then looked at the surrounding environment, seeing that he was still in the mutation area, he asked: "Why are you here? You saved me?"

"Well, I just came here to do a mission... You are seriously injured, you should not move casually, I will take you to the hospital tomorrow." Mo took back the water glass, but did not put him back on the red soft satin on the ground, but It was as if he didn't notice it, and let him continue to rely on himself.

However, Di Chu forced himself to sit up, turned around and tore off the clothes that had become rags on the back of the shoulder, looked at the injured right shoulder, touched the invisible back with his hands, and found that the wound was completely covered with rags. After the red soft satin was wrapped up, Chao Mo said, "Thank you."

Mo also looked at his back, his eyes were heavy, and there seemed to be blood rolling inside, but his voice tried to keep calm: "You recovered very quickly." Only a few hours later, the wound began to heal. The scab is gone, and someone else is replaced. The wound with deep bone can be seen, and it will never heal if you don't lie down for half a month.

Di Chu's eyes were full of confusion, his hands were still groping on the back, and after groping, he moved to the back of the heart, groping in that area non-stop.

Before and after the coma, he was not completely unconscious, and occasionally he would be a little more awake. He remembered that when the Hongmeng Qingqi was repairing the wound, his back was always hot, and his heart seemed to be hot before and after waking up. one time.

This is not right, the fever caused by the primordial clear qi will only spread outward from the spine, and since his back is not injured, there is no reason why he would have fever for no reason.

Mo saw his movements and noticed where his fingers pressed, his body became stiff.

Below that... is his imprint on Di Chu's body.

Did Di Chu find out?

He sat upright, with a tense expression, his brain frantically turning, thinking about how he should explain if Di Chu discovered the mark, so as to appease Di Chu.

Di Chu had already withdrawn his hand, turned to look at him, and asked, "How about those hunter killers? Have you notified the hunter branch in District K?"

At the end of his mind, when he saw the first sight of God, his heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly lowered his eyes to avoid it, covered his expression with the cover of the mask, and replied: "The killer who injured you is dead, and I haven't had time to inform the branch about the killer. "In fact, he didn't inform on purpose, he wanted to stay alone with Di Chu for a while.

Di Chu breathed a sigh of relief and was a little worried, and asked, "You killed all the killers?"

For the last moment, he didn't understand what he meant: "All? Not just one—" His momentum suddenly changed, he stood up and said, "I'll go and deal with the rest."

Di Chu stood up and followed: "I'm with you, I know their whereabouts."

Mo hurriedly stopped, turned around to help him, then withdrew his hand apprehensively, and said in a slow tone: "After a few hours, the killers chasing you are absolutely impossible to stay where they are, you rest here, I will go. "

Di Chu shook his head: "They must still stay where they are. I have tampered with them, and one of the killers was forcibly recruited by me. When I recover a bit, I can sense his exact location."

Forced servants?Taking a bloody killer as a servant?

At the end, his face twitched, and he felt a heart-stopping feeling that the male god at home grabbed dirty things by his side again without looking at him. His Adam's apple moved, and he didn't stop him. He turned around and stood in front of him, lowering his body slightly, seemingly calm but actually He said nervously and stiffly: "Your wounds haven't healed yet, it's not suitable to mobilize your strength now, come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Di Chu sensed the strength in his body, it was indeed stagnant and thin, not suitable for long-term mobilization, and he was not pretentious. After thanking him, he climbed up on his back very simply.

His body was heavy, and the warm body temperature covered him.

Mo hurriedly took hold of Dichu's leg, stood up a little stiffly, carefully adjusted a posture that would make the person on his back more comfortable, took a deep breath to suppress the overly intense heartbeat and the emotion that was about to rush forward, and blended into the night .

……

The scene kept receding, surrounded by a transparent force layer for protection, obviously being led to move quickly, but Di Chu couldn't feel the coolness of the night wind at all, instead it seemed to be properly put into a warm small room , warm from head to toe.

He had just woken up from a serious injury, and his energy was a little low. He was warmed by the warmth, and after a while, he changed from a posture with his back straight to a posture with his shoulders bent and his back leaning against Mo.

The crooked cheek brushed the loose hair on his back, and he felt a slippery and itchy feeling. He paused for a moment, and his consciousness, which was almost in a daze, suddenly came to his senses. He straightened up suspiciously, and reached out to grab the last hair Twisted in the hand.

this texture...

"Is it this direction?" Mo asked suddenly.

The hair slipped, and Di Chu came back to his senses. Looking at his face completely covered by the mask, his eyes moved uncontrollably to a small part of his neck that was half exposed outside the stand-up collar of his robe. While observing subconsciously, he responded: "This way, there is a steep slope ahead."

Turn back and move on.

The neck was no longer visible, so Dichu lowered his head and grabbed a handful of Mo's hair and twisted it. The more he twirled, the more he felt the texture was very familiar. ear.

The warm breath gently blew on the ears, and at the end of the body froze, he suddenly removed the protective cover around his body.

The night wind blew over his head, blowing away the warm breath from his ears, and also blowing his hair to hide his ears.

Di Chu was unprepared, his eyes were lifted by the blown hair, a little itchy, he closed his eyes reflexively and raised his hand to rub.

With just such a little effort, Mo already saw the steep slope ahead, slowed down and stopped in front of the slope: "Here we are."

Di Chu put down his hand, looked at Mo's hair again, and finally suppressed his doubts, quickly got down from him, closed his eyes and sensed it, and called out in a deep voice: "Come out!"

A completely black figure suddenly sprang out from the bottom of the slope, stopped in front of Di Chu, and called out a little dullly: "Master."

"Where's your companion?" Di Chu looked at the person coming and asked.

Mo walked to Di Chu's side calmly, looked up and down the black-clothed killer in front of him, and frowned in disgust—it was still a bug.

The servant pointed to Poxia: "There are a total of eight people down there. Five of them exploded and died one after another. One was sucked dry by the elder Hei Wu. Two were still alive and passed out."

Drained one?

Di Chu's heart moved, and he asked, "Where are the people who have been sucked dry?"

Servant: "It's also down there."

Di Chu motioned him to lead the way.

The group turned down the slope, during which Dichu asked the servant's name, and learned that his real name was He Ao. He was a legally registered B-level treasure hunter before, and he joined the Anti-Hunter Association by accident. In this year, his strength has skyrocketed from B-level to S-level.

He Ao was quite cautious in his work. Not only did he carefully clean up the traces of flesh and blood left by his companion on the slope after he blew himself up, but he also found a small pit covered by dead branches at the bottom of the slope, and put the only corpse and his unconscious companion hid inside.

The body of the person who was sucked dry looked very strange, like a skeleton wrapped in inferior human skin, gray and dry, it looked very terrifying in the dim light of the night.

Di Chu made a preliminary inspection and said, "The blood and strength in his body are gone, and his heart disappeared out of thin air. He Ao, have you seen the way Kong Yuan sucked this man dry?"

He Ao was puzzled: "Who is Kong Yuan?"

The emperor was stunned at the beginning, but shocked at the end.

Di Chu slowly frowned, and raised his hand to pinch the center of his brows. He didn't understand why he blurted out the name Kong Yuan. Something seemed to flash through his mind, but he still couldn't catch it.After trying to recall it several times without success, he shook his head to shake off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and asked again: "I mean Black Friday... have you seen the way Black Friday sucks this person dry?"

He Ao shrank his neck and shook his head: "No, he just sucked the person over suddenly, put his palm on his heart, and then...that's it."

Di Chu was thoughtful, and went to check on the two comatose hunter-killers.

Seeing that he didn't dwell too much on the name Kong Yuan, his tense body relaxed a little.

The two killers in a coma have one thing in common, that is, the blood of people of the same race is mixed in their bodies, and the number of mixed people is not much.

Di Chu calmed down the rush of blood in their bodies, stood up and looked at the time, hesitated for a moment, and called Kong Que anyway.

The optical brain watch in the dark pocket began to vibrate slightly, and after taking a last look at Di Chu, he took a step back calmly.

No one answered the phone, Di Chu frowned, and called Kong Lan instead.

Kong Lan picked it up quickly, with an unexpected voice: "Di Chu?"

Di Chu responded, said hello, and then told about the situation when he was attacked by hunter killers, and emphasized that he forcibly took one of the killers as his servant, and asked Kong Lan to send someone over to arrange this. Side things.

Kong Lan hurriedly said that he would send someone there immediately, and asked him if he was safe now.

Di Chu replied: "It's safe, there is a passing officer staying with me."

Kong Lan: "..." Well, I just passed by.

After finishing the call with Kong Lan, Di Chu looked at Mo and said, "I have to pick up my companion. When I met Hunter Killer in the afternoon, I left him alone in a safe but closed place. I was a little worried. , can I leave the matter here to you, okay?"

Mo wanted to go with him very much, but looking at his expression, he knew that he was not willing to let him follow, so he pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll wait here for people from the guild... Is it far from where you put your companions?" ? Do you need me to send you a piece?"

In fact, it's quite far away, but it's not easy to expose the enchantment to others, so Di Chu replied: "No need to send it away, I'll leave it to you here."

At the end, he could only respond: "Okay...you pay attention to safety."

Di Chu nodded to him, turned around and walked up the slope.

Finally watched him leave.

Dichu suddenly turned his head again, looked at Mo who was standing at the bottom of the slope in red, and asked, "It's impolite to ask, but... Mo, can you tell me your species?"

Mo didn't expect that he would turn his head back, his eyes staring straight at him dropped instantly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't speak.

Silence pervades.

"I understand." Di Chu no longer insisted, turned around and escaped into the night.

Mo bowed his head and slumped his shoulders. After a while, he suddenly disappeared in place like a mist.

He Ao was startled, rubbed his eyes vigorously, looked around cowardly, and hid himself in the small pit.

……

Di Chumian emphasized his strength and rushed to a certain entrance of the enchantment, propping up the mountain wall to wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead, and only after he adjusted his state did he tear open the enchantment and enter.

Mo, who was standing on a branch not far away, watched him disappear, raised his hand to remove the mask on his face, revealing a pair of slightly sad eyes.

"sorry."

……

After entering the barrier, Di Chu immediately found that something was wrong with the power fluctuations in the barrier, his body tensed up instantly, and following the traces of the fluctuations vigilantly, he saw Fei Ye lying in the depths of the sea of ​​flowers and had passed out.

His expression sank, and he hurriedly leaned over. After seeing Fei Ye's situation clearly, his expression suddenly changed.

Fei Ye is actually turning into a demon!

He immediately squatted down, stretched out his hand to hold Fei Ye's chest, held back the little primordial spirit that had just gathered in his body, and said, "Fei Ye, pull the blood, stabilize the strength in your body first, don't faint!"

Maybe it was his call that played a role, maybe it was Hongmeng Qingqi that worked, Fei Ye rolled his eyeballs twice under his eyelids, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Di Chu, he was obviously relieved: "You are finally back gone."

"Fei Ye, draw the blood quickly, and you must not let the power in your body escape, do you hear me?" Di Chu hurriedly ordered.

Fei Ye actually didn't quite understand what happened to him, he just wanted to become stronger, and as he thought about it, the blood in his body surged uncontrollably, and then he passed out.

Wait until you wake up, it's time.

"What's wrong with me?" He tried to sit up.

"You are turning into a demon." Di Chu pushed him back and lay down, wanted to give him some strength again, but couldn't gather up because of serious injuries, and secretly resented why he was injured at this time. After scanning around, he got up and said, "Fei Ye, you do as I just said, try to stabilize the situation, and I'll be back soon." After speaking, he quickly fled towards the small wooden building not far away.

Fei Ye saw the tattered and blood-stained clothes on his back when he got up to leave, his eyes widened, and he was almost fainted by the disordered force in his body, so he lay down and stabilized himself, recalling Di Chu's words just now , try to pull the blood in the body.

——Di Chu was injured again, he couldn't cause Di Chu any more trouble.Hold on, hold on.

……

Di Chu rushed into the small building, luckily found some spiritual stones and elixir inside, and also found a batch of spiritual herbs protected by arrays behind the small building.

He put away all the things that could be used, and then rushed back to Feiye, extracted the essence of a few spirit grasses and fed them into Feiye's mouth, and condensed a lot of his own leaves to stuff them in.

"Absorb these forces first, and store them in the heart, understand?"

Fei Ye opened his eyes to look at him, nodded, and asked, "Are you injured?"

He can still speak coherently, which proves that Feiye's consciousness is still very clear.

Di Chu replied: "It's just a small injury. Feiye, listen to me, you are completely mutating now. The complete mutation of the plant system is different from that of the animal system. You need to pay attention to power storage and avoid unnecessary consumption of power. Your body will begin to expel human blood. During this period, you should not move around, endure the pain, and do not use strength to relieve it. Remember, gather all your strength towards the heart, and try to ensure that the strength in your body is not wasted. Your new body needs these strengths to grow, understand?"

Hearing the four words of complete mutation, Fei Ye finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly nodded in response. Seeing Di Chu's serious expression, he turned to comfort him: "I'll be fine, even if something happens, don't worry, I will leave you the house in Green River Town, and the money in the account, you—”

Di Chu held his arm firmly, pressed his fingertips on the lines of his leaves, and said in a deep voice, "Fei Ye, you will not die."

Fei Ye met his gaze, and was suddenly speechless.

"You can't die." Di Chu emphasized.

Feeling warm in Fei Ye's heart, he stopped saying frustrating words, and smiled at him with the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I won't die, don't be afraid."

……

Half an hour later, blood began to ooze from Fei Ye's body, his face quickly turned pale, and his consciousness began to blur.

Sitting cross-legged next to him, Di Chu absorbed spirit stones to replenish his strength, refined spirit grass juice one by one and fed them into his mouth, and built a gathering place transformed from a gathering spirit array beside him. The formation of vitality.

"Don't faint." Di Chu took a little more breath and talked to Fei Ye uninterruptedly, "When you succeed in transforming the demon, you will become very strong, and no one will be able to bully you in the future."

Hearing the word become stronger, Fei Ye's eyelashes trembled, he barely opened his eyelids, and smiled lazily: "Is it strong enough to protect you in turn?"

Di Chu was taken aback for a moment, then pursed his lips, hummed, and lowered his head to help him wipe the blood from his face: "Yes, you can protect me."

"Then I will definitely make it through." Fei Ye closed his eyes again, obviously in pain, but with a smile on his face, "I will make it through."

Di Chu hurriedly gave him some strength.

Feiye's breathing slowly slowed down, as if falling asleep.

The blood stopped leaking at some point, and the leaf pattern on Feiye's arm began to swim quickly, and then expanded and spread until it covered most of the skin of his body.

Di Chu knew that the most critical moment was coming, so he concentrated his attention.

About a quarter of an hour later, the mutated lines started to swim again, and began to gather towards Feiye's heart.

The clothes on Feiye's upper body had already been taken off by Dichu. Under Dichu's unblinking observation, the mutated lines were evenly spread on the skin of his heart. After that, Feiye's breathing suddenly stopped. A small tender seedling broke through the skin of the heart, and sprouted out.

The bud was really too small, almost as thin as a hair, Di Chu even thought he had misread it, and soon, he knew he was right, because the bud shook towards him Body.

Di Chu's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he put his hand on it, releasing his strength: "Grow up to your heart's content, don't be afraid of not having enough strength."

As if understanding what he said, Nianya stopped shaking.

Fei Ye, who had already lost his breath, suddenly emitted a strong wave of power, and this wave even carried a trace of the charm of the majestic fresh air.

Di Chu's eyes showed surprise, and he hurriedly condensed some leaves, extracted the juice and carefully watered it on the tender buds.

The buds unfolded their leaves happily, and then began to grow as high as they could. At the same time, the mutated lines on the center of the flying leaves disappeared and faded at a terrifying speed.

Di Chu frowned.

With the current disappearing speed of the mutated lines, the power remaining in Feiye's body will definitely not be able to support the buds to fully grow.

It is necessary to increase the strength of Feiye.

Just as he was thinking, the power released from Feiye's body suddenly started to rotate in a vortex trajectory, absorbing the vitality in the air while rotating, and pouring them towards Feiye's body in the center.

Di Chu was surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to sense Fei Ye's physical condition, and was surprised to find that Fei Ye was actually "breathing" practicing.

No, it's not Feiye. Feiye's consciousness has been transferred to the new body. It's the buds that drive Feiye's physical training, and want to use this to replenish the strength in Feiye's body.

So this is the final process of turning plants into demons?Turn the old body into an alternative root system, and use the old body to absorb the nutrients needed for the new body to grow from the outside?

Di Chu was thoughtful, seeing that the mutated lines on Feiye's heart did not continue to fade, and the tender seedlings continued to grow, but the growth rate slowed down a bit, so he did not continue to intervene in Feiye's demon transformation process.

I don't know how long it took, but the tender seedling finally grew into a lush grass.

When only the last thumb-sized pattern remained in the mutated pattern, the swirling force around Feiye suddenly turned his head and sank towards the ground. The ground was dug out by the force, and Feiye's body fell into it, and then the soil layer Cover it layer by layer until there is only one newly grown grass sticking out of the ground.

When all the dust settled, the power fluctuations in the air slowly faded and disappeared.

Di Chu looked at the grass in front of him where he had buried himself, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand to scrape the soil in front of him.

A thin root system stretched out and hit the back of Di Chu's hand.

Di Chu: "...Fei Ye?"

The grass swayed a bit, retracted its root system in front of him, and then quickly grew and spread, plunging into the soil farther away.

Vitality is everywhere, and it naturally exists in the soil.

Di Chu guessed that these roots were used by the flying leaves to absorb the vitality in the soil, so he couldn't help but pick up the soil in front of him again, and he saw that the bottom was densely covered with elongated roots, and these roots were actually all Extending from Feiye's body.

The hand was lightly hit by another root system, and then the root system arched and arched, covering the soil again.

Dichu: "..."

Plants... so interesting.

He looked at the soil and then at the grass, feeling curious and playful like a child, and stretched out his hands to try to dig the soil.

Fei Ye probably had nothing to do with him, so the branches and leaves swayed and simply let him go, only silently following him to bury the soil.

So one by one, the other was buried, and after a while, Di Chu finally stopped his evil hands, watched the roots carefully re-bury the soil, thoughtfully: "You are conscious."

Xiaocao waved it, as if to say: Nonsense, isn't this obvious?

"It seems that the most important thing when transforming a plant into a demon is to maintain consciousness throughout the process, and to be able to control the original body to continue practicing, and it is best to lie on a place with soil instead of a hospital bed, because the old body It's actually the most important root part of the new body...will these flowers around you affect your growth?"

Xiaocao swings wildly.

It seems that it does not affect, maybe there are benefits.

Di Chu was relieved, and thoroughly understood the process of transforming plants into demons.

Therefore, there were three reasons why Baichao failed at the beginning: [-]. The consciousness was on the verge of collapsing and could not stay awake for long; [-]. The original body was too decayed to absorb power from the outside world; He can't bury himself with the soil that is so large, he can only abandon his most important "root".

"..."

It was an unjust death.

There is one last doubt.

Di Chu looked at the grass in front of him and asked, "How long will it take you to transform into a human form again?"

This time Xiaocao stopped swaying and swayed like crazy.

So Di Chu understood, and Fei Ye himself didn't know how long it would take.

He suddenly remembered the transformation process of those flower demons and tree demons before the doomsday, ranging from thousands of years to more than 100 years. He looked at the grass in front of him and fell silent.

It shouldn't be...it will take that long.
