NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7
Puff——
The cold blade slashed across the neck of the last bandit, bringing up a stream of hot blood.
The corpse collapsed to the ground powerlessly, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
This gang of bandits that wreaked havoc in the suburbs of Changle County has completely become history.
"Huh~Done..."
Gu Cheng shook off the blood on the long knife and looked at the record on the panel.
[Kill the evil cultivator in the Tempering Body Realm, and get life span: three years]
[Kill the evil cultivator in the Tempering Body Realm, and get life span: two years]
...
This group of bandits are a bunch of rabble, and the benefits are naturally extremely low.
But the advantage is that there are enough of them.
More than fifty bandits together have been rewarded with a total life span of nearly seventy years, which is also a good income.
The finishing work is over.
Gu Cheng gripped the hilt tightly, turned around and looked at the black-robed masked man who took the initiative to show his figure not far behind him.
"You have been watching the battle in secret for so long, and now you suddenly show up, what is the matter?"
Gu Cheng was alert and looked at the other party quietly.
Judging from the bronze mask on the other party's face, the identity of the mysterious black-robed man is most likely the popular monster catcher.
"..."
The female monster catcher did not answer Gu Cheng's question, but walked straight to the corpse of the pig monster master.
After carefully observing for a moment, she shook her head and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that this pig monster broke through the Qi and Blood Realm in such a short time that even the [Monster Core] has not been fully condensed."
"If you kill it again in a few years, you may get another excellent earth-type monster core."
The voice under the mask is crisp and pleasant, like a stream flowing through a mountain stream, which sounds very comfortable.
Judging from the voice alone, the other party's ability is probably no more than twenty years old.
Gu Cheng was a little surprised by the other party's voice, but he didn't think much about it. He shook his head and retorted:
"There's nothing to regret. If this beast lives a few more years, who knows how many people it will kill."
"And it's just a demon core. There are so many demons on Black Wind Mountain, how can there be a shortage of demon cores?"
"Ha, well said!"
The female demon catcher clapped her hands and chuckled, looking at the young man with praise.
"No wonder you dare to use yourself as bait to kill demons. Your courage and awareness are really admirable."
"..."
Gu Cheng was a little speechless for a while.
How can he use himself as bait?
It's clear that he was sold out by the traitor and was forced to fight his way out.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, little brother, let's make a deal."
The female demon catcher reached out and touched her belt, and a book appeared out of thin air in her hand like a magic trick.
"I came here this time because the head of the Chen family asked me to rescue his precious daughter."
"I owed the old head a favor. To save face, I must personally send the daughter of the Chen family back intact..."
Daughter of the Chen family?
Gu Cheng was slightly startled, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
The daughter of the Chen family was the rich lady who was kidnapped by the bandits this time, and the unlucky girl who was regarded as the wife of the pig demon master.
Before, Gu Cheng was so busy killing that he almost forgot about the main task of rescuing the hostages.
But then again, his original mission was just to spy on intelligence, but he killed all the enemies. Does this count as over-fulfilling the mission?
Gu Cheng put these messy thoughts behind his head, sheathed his sword, and asked the other party:
"So the deal you mentioned is to exchange what you have in your hand for my contribution?"
"Yes, this sword technique secret book is my compensation to you."
The female demon hunter nodded and threw the book in her hand forward.
As if being pulled by a pair of invisible hands.
The sword technique secret book floated slowly in front of the young man like a feather.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng was secretly surprised.
He reached out to take the book, flipped through a few pages, and suddenly there was a new prompt on the panel.
[Qi Xue·Wind and Thunder Sword Technique: Not yet started]
Qi Xue realm sword technique?
Gu Cheng's eyes lit up immediately.
"This is a very advanced martial art. It may take an ordinary person thirty to fifty years to get started."
The female demon hunter stared at the young man and continued:
"But I believe that with your talent, you will be able to understand it easily, right?"
"..."
Gu Cheng remained silent and thought quickly in his heart.
In order to avoid more trouble, he was forced to kill the young master of the pig demon, but he also made a deadly feud with the notorious pig demon king on the Black Wind Mountain.
Now someone is willing to take the initiative to take the blame, attract the hatred of the pig demon king, and also give him the Qi and Blood Realm swordsmanship that he urgently needs.
Gu Cheng againHow could there be any reason to refuse?
He agreed immediately and straightforwardly.
The fire in the camp burned more and more fiercely, and soon spread to the nearby houses.
The flames that shot up into the sky seemed to light up the entire night sky.
The female demon catcher chatted with Gu Cheng for a few more words, and then the two searched the camp together, and soon found the place where the pig demon was hiding.
The female demon catcher walked into the tent alone.
After a while, when she came out, she was carrying a huge black shadow on her slender shoulders.
Gu Cheng looked up and thought that she had caught another pig demon that had escaped the net, and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.
But when he looked closely.
He was shocked to find that the black shadow was actually a woman with fair skin and bright clothes.
At this time, she was sleeping soundly on the shoulder of the female demon catcher, snoring loudly.
"She... Is she the Miss Chen?"
Gu Cheng was confused.
According to the standards in the book, the body shape of this rich girl can be roughly described as "slightly fat".
Although she looks very white and pampered.
But with this tonnage, no matter how you look at it, it can't be associated with the four words "national beauty and heavenly fragrance", right?
"Ahem, generally speaking, the aesthetics of demons are similar to those of humans.
But there are still some outliers, and the aesthetics of men and women are very different. I think this group of pig demons is like this, right?"
The female demon catcher explained in a low voice. Even though she was carrying a huge thing weighing more than 200 kilograms on her shoulders, she didn't look tired at all.
"By the way, Young Master Gu, keep this token."
The female demon catcher gently threw a palm-sized token to Gu Cheng.
The latter reached out to take it and looked at it carefully.
The token was pitch black with a big "Xu" in the middle. It was made of neither gold nor jade. It felt heavy in the hand and felt quite good.
"What is this?" Gu Cheng was curious.
"This is a token of my family. When you have the opportunity to visit [Yunzhou City] in the future, you are welcome to visit the Xu family in the north of the city."
The female demon catcher carried the "Qianjin" lady who was sleeping like a dead pig and nodded slightly to the young man.
Then she took out a piece of talisman paper, pinched the magic formula, and a ball of white mist spread out instantly.
When the white mist dissipated, the figures of the two had already disappeared from the spot.
Under the bright moonlight, a scorching night wind blew past, rolling up sparks.
Gu Cheng looked at the place where the other party disappeared, his expression slightly strange.
Yunzhou City?
That's the capital of a state.
Its prosperity is far beyond the reach of Changle County, a small and remote county.
So, the true identity of this female monster catcher is a rich lady from a big family?
Monster catching is just a side activity for her to experience life outside?
Gu Cheng's eyes moved slightly.
Combined with his previous performance, he has roughly figured out the other party's thoughts.
"I'm afraid this girl thinks of me as a martial arts genius who has not yet risen, so she chooses to invest in advance and make a good relationship?"
"No wonder she is so easy to talk to when we first met, and she also gave me gifts..."
Gu Cheng looked at the "Wind and Thunder Sword Art" and the token in his hand, and he was a little amused for a while.
Martial arts genius?
What kind of genius is he?
Whose genius spent more than 150 years to break through to the first level of Qi and Blood?
At best, he is just a hacker who can krypton life.
