I run a funeral home, I don't know how to teach people how to slay demons

"Hmm..."

Er Gouzi wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand weakly, and fell down beside a big tree with a pale face, feeling that he would die at any time.

He vomited for several minutes, until he emptied his stomach and began to vomit acid, and the nausea in his chest was slightly relieved.

Ji Li looked at Kong Shaoyou, then at Ji Yun, and finally cast her eyes on Niu Aotian.

She wanted to ask how Niu Aotian killed the group of wolf cavalry just now, but seeing that he was dying, she still resisted the desire to speak.

She gently patted Niu Aotian's back while recalling the battle just now.

Ji Li used the Qi-seeking technique throughout the whole process, staring at Niu Aotian, and did not see any signs of the existence of any supernatural power level.

She also thought about whether Niu Aotian's level was too high and she could not see through it.

But she really couldn't imagine that at the critical moment of the confrontation between the human race and the demon race, the Demon Slayer Division would let an eighth-level venerable do the work of a scout. Isn't this a mental illness?

And why did the person who had just torn the demon race apart with his hands suddenly fall to the ground and vomit?

It can't be that he became like this just because of riding a horse and seeing blood?

Who would be so cowardly?

Could this be the price of using some kind of power? Or is it a side effect?

Ji Li would sneak a glance at Niu Aotian from time to time, trying to read some information from the other party's expression, and at the same time, all kinds of thoughts were flying in her mind.

"Captain... Captain... All our war horses have run away, can we... go back to the camp?" Er Gouzi now felt that he was top-heavy and had a slight stiff neck, and he was uncomfortable all over.

"Don't worry about that." Ji Li said and gave Kong Shaoyou a look, and the latter understood, circled his fingers into a ring and blew hard.

The sharp whistle echoed in the dense forest.

About five minutes later, the war horses of the seventh team that were hiding in the dense forest all ran back following the whistle.

Even Niu Aotian's war horse that escaped during the battle returned to the crowd.

"I told you, our war horses are very smart." Ji Li touched her war horse and raised her eyebrows at Er Gouzi.

After searching on the horse's back for a while, Ji Li raised her hand and threw a water bottle to Er Gouzi.

"Drink some water and take it easy. Let's rest for five minutes and continue to set off."

Er Gouzi took the water bottle tremblingly, and his face turned pale.

"Not the captain, do we still want to continue? I'm almost dying, look at me..." Er Gouzi struggled to look at his body, trying to find one or two wounds to prove that he was a wounded soldier.

"Don't be modest, I know you are very powerful, and I believe that what you said before is not bragging." Ji Li chuckled and said lightly.

"Don't worry, since you have chosen to hide your identity, I won't ask about your secrets, you don't need to pretend anymore."

What the hell am I pretending to be!

If we have another encounter, I'm afraid I'll be killed by my master!

Er Gouzi got up in a panic and wanted to explain something, but Ji Li had already walked away on her own, not giving him a chance to speak.

"I'm afraid this newcomer in your team is hiding a big secret." The captain of the ninth team had finished his repairs and called back his warhorse. Before leaving, he pulled Ji Li aside and whispered.

"I know." Ji Li turned her head and looked back. Er Gouzi still had a look of despair, as if he would die at any time.

"My original judgment of him was also very wrong."

"Now it seems that the superiors put him directly into our team with some tasks that are not convenient to explain."

"Maybe it involves the game of the top leaders. We just need to do our own work as much as possible."

The captain of the ninth team nodded. Seeing that Ji Li knew what was going on, he said no more. He waved to Er Gouzi and turned away on horseback.

After a short rest, the seventh team also got on the horse again and continued their mission.

Er Gouzi was dizzy and felt that he was running in front and his soul was chasing behind. If it weren't for the invisible force that would straighten his body from time to time, he would have fallen off the horse long ago.

Fortunately, no more scouts of the demon clan appeared in the following time. The seventh team successfully arrived at the detection area and completed the set task.

The butcher army did not make large-scale mobilizations, and the demon cloud showed no signs of continued expansion.

Er Gouzi followed his teammates in a daze and lurked in a valley, observing the target from a distance.

He almost fell asleep several times.

The reconnaissance lasted until the second half of the night, and then another team of scouts took over.

Er Gouzi's first day of military service ended in such a muddle. He didn't come back to his senses until he went back to the camp and lay down. He just felt that his soul was hollowed out.

"Er Gouzi, how do you feel?"

Lu Changsheng slowly revealed his true body from the void, sat down next to his apprentice, holding a popsicle in his hand, looking like he was out for a trip.

Taking the popsicle handed over by his master, Er Gouzi peeled off the outer packaging with great effort and held it in his mouth.

"Wet...protection...I really don't understand...why you brought me to the front line..."

"I can't do anything at all, I can only cause trouble for everyone..."

Er Gouzi said vaguely, holding a popsicle in his mouth.

His mood was very low, and he didn't have the kind of pride that a young man who had just become famous had.

"I'm just a salted fish, just an ordinary person, just a useless person who can't do anything, why... do you want me to do this kind of thing..."

"Without my master, I can't survive an hour on the front line. No, I'm afraid I can't even survive five minutes. People like me really can't do it..."

Er Gouzi chewed the popsicle and lowered his head.

Of course, it was to get free system skills, what else could it be for?

Lu Changsheng silently complained in his heart, and wanted to say a few meaningless nonsense and continue to increase the intensity of PUA.

But seeing the dejected look of his little apprentice, the words were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say them.

Lu Changsheng moved his butt slightly, making himself closer to Er Gouzi.

"Ergou, compared to your senior brothers and sisters, you are indeed a little weaker, a little cowardly, a little greedy, and a little mediocre..."

"Master, you are going to comfort me, right?" Ergou looked at his master uncertainly.

"Haha, of course." Lu Changsheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Ergou's head vigorously twice, and continued, "But you are also my apprentice, I don't think you are worse than anyone else."

"Although you are not an awakener, neither is my master."

"Master has many skills, and you can still learn without superpowers."

"Maybe in the future, you can become the same as my master."

"You are still very young, and many things will happen in the future, some good and some bad. But the most important thing is to never deny yourself easily."

Ergou took a breath silently, slowly raised his head and looked at his master.

"Master, I...really okay?"

Lu Changsheng nodded gently, and he took out a bag of snacks, opened it and handed it to his apprentice.

"Even if the whole world doesn't believe it."

"I still believe you..."

"Okay."
