In the Demon Suppression Division, the Iron-Cutting Sword Technique is perfected

Two old horses trotted along the official road in the suburbs of Changle County, one in front and one behind.

Xiao Yun had a sullen face and led the way in front, without any intention of getting close to his new boss.

Gu Cheng was also happy to be quiet, and followed silently behind, looking relaxed as if he was traveling.

The two of them were silent all the way, concentrating on their journey.

It was not until dusk that they arrived at the destination of this trip - Gaojia Village.

The scale of the village is not large, with about 200 households, and there are vast fields outside the village.

Several villagers with patches on their clothes are still working hard in the ridges of the fields.

Gu Cheng and Xiao Yun rode along the road and soon attracted the attention of these villagers.

After seeing the official uniforms on the two, they were shocked and hurriedly dropped the farm tools in their hands and ran towards the village.

This exaggerated reaction gave people a sense of déjà vu of "the devils entering the village".

The two men dismounted and walked into the village holding the reins.

After a while.

An old village chief with white hair and beard came up to them in the crowd of villagers.

After learning the purpose of Gu Cheng and Xiao Yun's coming here, he couldn't help but relax his expression and respectfully invited them to his home.

"Two officers, are you the only two who came to exorcise the demons this time?"

The old village chief carefully asked while serving hot tea.

"Why? Isn't it enough to have two of us?"

Gu Cheng took the teacup and blew the hot air:

"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell us where to go, who to kill, and how many to kill. You don't have to worry about the rest."

"This..."

The old village chief looked embarrassed and looked back and forth between the two.

The big guy was fine. He looked strong and powerful, and he was obviously a martial arts master.

As for the young man leading the group...

He was very handsome. When he went out of the village to greet him, the pretty widow at the head of the village had her eyes gleaming with green.

But how could such a tender-skinned young man look like someone who could kill monsters?

The old village chief secretly complained in his heart, thinking that the gentlemen in the county were still perfunctory as before.

They just arranged two people to go through the motions, and had no intention of helping the villagers solve the monster problem.

But he didn't dare to say it out loud.

He had to try his luck and took out a map of the surrounding area of ​​Gaojia Village and spread it on the table.

"Look, sir, the monster had been active in the area of ​​'Baicao Mountain' before."

"Here are a lot of herbs. There are several pharmacies in the city that are supplied by here.

It's a pity that since the monster started to cause trouble, the herbal farmers in the village no longer dare to go up the mountain to collect herbs..."

The old village chief patiently introduced the situation here.

Gu Cheng drank hot tea while memorizing the signs on the map.

The sky gradually darkened, and it was dinner time in a blink of an eye.

The old village chief naturally did not dare to neglect the two officers, and was about to kill chickens and sheep to entertain them, but was rejected by Gu Cheng.

"You should keep the chickens and ducks in the village for yourselves."

Gu Cheng drank the tea, picked up his sword, stood up and walked out of the house.

"It's not too late now. I'll go kill the monsters on the mountain. When I come back, I can just use the monster meat as a midnight snack."

"Ah?"

"Puff——"

Listening to these outrageous words that were said lightly.

The old village chief was confused and thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

Xiao Yun's reaction was even more exaggerated, and he sprayed the tea in his mouth on the spot.

"Ahem... No, wait a minute!"

He hurriedly chased out of the house, stopped Gu Cheng, and asked unhappily:

"How come you don't even have this common sense? Going up the mountain in the dark is a taboo, and the night is the home of demons!"

"Well, I understand."

Gu Cheng looked up at the big guy and said lightly:

"If you are afraid, stay here. I can go alone."

After breaking through to the Qi and Blood Realm, his eyesight has improved significantly, and he can see through fire even at night.

At the same time, in the dark environment, Gu Cheng's breath shielding can better hide himself, which is more suitable for him to perform assassination tactics.

However, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, this kid is a little bit too long.

"..."

Xiao Yun took a deep breath.

Looking at Gu Cheng, it was like looking at a crazy fool.

Originally, he thought that he was just a tool this time to help the relatives who mixed meritorious service to gild.

Xiao Yun was unhappy, but as long as Gu Cheng was willing to wait for the victory, he would accept it for the sake of his monthly salary.

But he never thought that this young master Gu was so ungrateful!

Forget it...

Since you are so stubborn, you can't blame others for being eaten by the monster.

Xiao Yun sighed in his heart.He sighed and made way without saying a word.

Gu Cheng was too lazy to explain. If the other party really followed him, he would have to be careful of being robbed.

The two parted ways.

Xiao Yun looked at Gu Cheng's back, shook his head, turned around and walked back to the old village chief's house.

About half an incense stick of time passed.

Bang——

Xiao Yun's face was tense and he pushed the door open again.

"Bah! I almost forgot that guy is my boss after all. If he really has any problems, I can't escape the responsibility..."

The young man cursed inwardly and quickly chased in the direction where Gu Cheng had left before.

-----------------

The forest was shrouded in darkness, and the moonlight sprinkled through the sparse leaves, casting a strange shadow.

The trees swayed in the night wind, making a gloomy hissing sound.

Xiao Yun carried a single knife in his hand and galloped through the forest.

The rugged mountain road of Baicao Mountain was as easy as walking on flat ground for a warrior like him who was good at Qinggong.

"Damn, where did that kid go?"

"I heard that he was only at the third level of body tempering, how could he jump faster than a rabbit?"

Xiao Yun stood in the woods and looked around, his mentality was a little explosive.

He even suspected that Gu Cheng had not actually gone up the mountain, and his previous bold words were just for the sake of pretending to be angry.

He searched for about a cup of tea.

Xiao Yun was gradually losing patience.

Just as he was about to go home, a faint flower fragrance suddenly caught his attention.

"This smell is..."

Xiao Yun's expression changed slightly, and he walked quickly along the fragrance.

After passing through a bush, he looked up and couldn't help but choked.

I saw a small lavender flower quietly blooming under a big tree fifty or so away.

Under the moonlight, it exudes a little starlight, dreamy and beautiful.

"Is this... Nebula Flower?!"

Xiao Yun stared at the purple flower, and the shock in his eyes gradually turned into ecstasy.

Who would have thought that he failed to find Gu Cheng, who was courting death, but accidentally discovered a natural treasure!

This luck is really unmatched!

"Although it is a little young, it can be sold for at least three thousand taels of silver in the county pharmacy!"

"Equivalent to my thirty years of salary!"

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed with eagerness.

His sister suffered from a chronic disease and had not seen any improvement after taking medicine for many years.

With this windfall, not to mention being able to cure his sister's disease in one go, at least it can improve the family's food.

Xiao Yun suppressed his excitement and walked forward quickly.

As he approached, the unique fragrance of the Nebula Flower became more and more intense.

With the bright moonlight, Xiao Yun found that there were many animal and human corpses scattered around the purple flower.

It was as if they were eaten up and left as fertilizer.

"..."

It was as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

Xiao Yun stopped suddenly, and the surprise in his heart disappeared instantly.

His right hand touched the hilt of the knife without leaving a trace, and he looked nervous as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Tsk, no wonder there are monsters suddenly appearing on Baicao Mountain, it turns out that they were attracted by this thing..."

A gust of cold night wind blew past, making the flower fragrance that Xiao Yun smelled a little lighter.

Instead, there was a pungent fishy smell!

Swish——

Amid the whistling wind, a beast claw wrapped in a demon fell down with a bang.

With the force of breaking gold and breaking jade, it slapped Xiao Yun's back fiercely!
