NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
Five days later.
The escort team finally returned to Changle County.
The journey was windy and frosty, and the captains of the Demon Suppression Division were already exhausted.
As soon as they entered the gate of Changle County, they dispersed on the spot and went home.
This time, Gu Cheng did not choose to go back to the canteen of the government office for free meals, but went to the vegetable market for a rare trip, intending to go home and cook a big meal himself.
After obtaining the true teachings of Xue Niangzi in cooking.
He couldn't wait to test his current cooking skills.
The downtown was crowded with people, and the noise and bargaining were one after another, which was very lively.
Gu Cheng's cultivation was at the peak of Qi and Blood, and his five senses were sharp and his hearing was extraordinary.
After strolling around the market, he accidentally heard a lot of fresh gossip.
"Hey! Have you heard? The demon on the Black Wind Mountain is getting restless again!"
"Yeah! I heard from my neighbor's friend's brother-in-law's uncle that a whole village of people outside the city were eaten by wolf demons!"
"Not only is there unrest outside the city, but there is also unrest inside the city!
I heard that a flower thief came from nowhere recently. He is very good at light work and has raped the daughters of several wealthy families in the south city!"
"Alas... This world is getting more and more fucked up. Are those people in the government just eating dry food?"
"Shh! Be careful! Be careful!"
...
Gu Cheng walked past the people who were talking with a basket of vegetables, frowning slightly.
Wolf demon? Flower thief?
Strange, he had only been away for less than ten days, why did Changle County suddenly become so "lively"?
Just as the young man was puzzled, there was a commotion on the road ahead.
The crowd dispersed to both sides like a tide, leaving a wide road.
Gu Cheng was also squeezed to the side of the road by the crowd. He raised his head and looked towards the center of the road.
I saw a group of people and horses slowly coming from a distance.
The leader rode a tall black horse, with fair skin and beautiful face, cold and stunning.
The silver-white official uniform of the hundred households was stained with blood, which made her originally cold temperament more murderous.
It was Lin Qingyan.
Behind Lin Qingyan, followed more than 20 captains of the Demon Suppression Division.
Almost everyone of them was injured and looked tired, but the excitement and pride revealed between their eyebrows could not be concealed.
At the end of the team was a cart pulled by two old horses.
A pile of ferocious wolf heads were neatly stacked on the cart. A rough count showed that there were at least 20 of them.
Wherever he passed, the stench was pungent. Dark red demon blood dripped from the cart, leaving a long bloodstain, which made the passers-by's hearts beat wildly.
"These...are all the heads of wolf demons?! My goodness, how could they kill so many?"
"Haha! Good kill! Good kill!
Recently, I don't know what's wrong with these wolf demons. They frequently attack the surrounding villages. The Demon Suppression Department should have sent people to kill all these beasts!"
"What's good about it! These are the wolf demons on the Black Wind Mountain. How can they be so easy to mess with?
This time, the Demon Suppression Department killed so many wolf demons, they will definitely launch a more crazy revenge!"
"Revenge, so what? If they dare to come, Lord Lin will dare to kill them!
The Demon Suppression Department is so rampant because there are too few ruthless people like Lord Lin who can kill demons!"
"Stupid! Stupid..."
...
No longer pay attention to the argument of the two passers-by.
Gu Cheng withdrew his gaze from the wolf demon heads in the car and quietly left the place.
There are many monsters in the Black Wind Mountains near Changle County, among which two major monster tribes are the most powerful.
One is the pig demon tribe, which is also an "old acquaintance" of Gu Cheng.
The other is the wolf demon tribe.
These two demon tribes are like the mafia fighting for territory. They have been fighting on the Black Wind Mountain for many years, and they all want to become the real boss of the mountain.
But when facing the Demon Suppression Division, they can unite and face the outside world together.
Therefore, if the county is not endangered, the local government rarely cares about the affairs of these two demon tribes.
Although this appeasement policy has created a subtle balance on the surface, it has also secretly contributed to the arrogance of local demons.
However, Lin Qingyan is an outlier.
Whenever a demon appears, no matter what kind of demon it is, she will definitely go up with a knife without saying a word!
Gu Cheng knew the reason.
Because more than ten years ago, Lin Qingyan's father was killed by a powerful wolf demon codenamed [Blood Claw].
Lin Qingyan has always wanted to avenge her father, but unfortunately she has not been able to do so.
Now the wolf demon clan has suddenly gone crazy and frequently attacked local villages. With the new and old hatreds added together, she hasI guess he will be busy in the future.
"Tsk tsk, these are all life spans..."
Gu Cheng smacked his lips, and while he was jealous, he immediately made a plan in his mind.
Since Captain Tang died, he, the general flag, has no immediate superior.
I think he will be assigned to another captain in a few days.
In this case, he might as well take the initiative to apply for transfer and join Captain Lin's demon-killing team.
Anyway, there are not many people in the government who dare to kill demons, and it is estimated that few people will compete with him.
The more Gu Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this method was reliable.
Decided to find a way to submit an application immediately after retrieving the second volume of "Blood Knife Sutra" and hug Lin Qingyan's thigh!
-----------------
After a lot of shopping.
Gu Cheng returned to his home with a basket full of ingredients.
As soon as he stepped into the door.
His keen hearing immediately caught a strange breathing sound in his room.
Is it a thief who broke into the house?
Or is someone here to seek revenge?
A cold light flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes, and he quietly performed the Wind Chasing Step that reached the extreme.
It was like a light breeze, drifting into his bedroom silently.
Gu Cheng's bedroom was very spacious, and there were not many furnitures, so the situation inside was in full view.
At this time, on the empty ground, a figure covered in a black robe was lying on its side, rising and falling with its breathing.
Because he was facing away from the door, Gu Cheng could not see the face of this person.
But from the beautiful curves between the waist and hips, this uninvited guest was obviously a woman.
Gu Cheng frowned slightly, and a sense of déjà vu suddenly surged in his heart. It seemed that he had seen the black robe on this woman somewhere.
When he walked closer and looked at her face, he immediately saw the familiar bronze mask.
"It's really her?!" Gu Cheng looked surprised.
It was really strange.
Why did this mysterious female demon hunter suddenly appear here?
How did she find her residence?
Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Cheng's mind.
Then he leaned over and gently took off the bronze mask on the other person's face, revealing a delicate and lovely face.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a very beautiful appearance. Even though she was dusty and pale as paper, it was difficult to hide her natural beauty.
She closed her eyes tightly in a coma, and dried blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
The little look with her eyebrows slightly frowned because of pain made people feel a touch of pity.
"She looks pretty." Gu Cheng sighed in his heart.
"Looking at her embarrassed appearance, she obviously suffered a hard battle before... Could it be that the Pig Demon King wanted revenge?"
The young man had more questions in his mind.
What is this?
I just went on a long trip, and when I got home, a cute girl suddenly appeared in my bedroom?
Could it be that the country really gave me a wife?
"Forget it, I'll ask these questions slowly after she wakes up."
"This girl helped me a lot in the beginning. Now she is injured and unconscious, and I can't just sit back and watch."
Gu Cheng sighed, leaned over and picked up the little beauty by the waist, and walked steadily towards his bed...
