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

The next day, at noon.

East of Baihe County, Shuiyunze.

Giant fir trees several dozen feet high, like giants, stand in a swamp, with huge treetops covering the sky and the sun.

And such giant trees are endless, and there is no end in sight.

Together with the reeds and algae in the stagnant water, they form a vibrant water town.

Gu Cheng put his hands on the pergola and looked at the magnificent natural scenery in front of him, feeling relaxed and happy.

To be honest, if there were no monsters in this place, it would definitely be an excellent tourist attraction.

"Is this Shuiyunze?"

Su Yanan looked around and frowned at the endless wetland forest:

"This area is too big, isn't it? How can we, the nine of us, clear out the monsters here?"

"No way, this was originally the territory of a great innate monster, and it should be handled by a general."

Fang Xu carried the ghost-headed sword on his shoulder, turned to look at Gu Cheng and the other three newcomers, and said with a smile:

"You three have been given such an assessment task, and I don't know how to deal with it. It's lucky or unfortunate..."

"Fangtou, what should we do next?"

A black-shirted lieutenant frowned slightly:

"With the strength of our team, we can fight even against ordinary innate monsters, and there is no problem with safety."

"But this is the home of water monsters after all. If those beasts hide in the water all the time, we can't do anything about it."

The other lieutenants nodded in unison. Although there are three newcomers as temporary teammates this time, they still have too few people.

If you want to complete this task efficiently, you need a different way...

"Why not... let me be the 'bait'?"

Cao Jianxin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Seeing that everyone else was looking over, he pursed his lips and continued to explain:

"Just like fishing, I walk alone in front and am responsible for luring out those water monsters.

You follow far behind and wait for the opportunity to act."

"Well, this is also a way."

Hearing this, the black-shirted lieutenants looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Chen Xuejiao on the side curled her lips with disdain and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, you disabled person, don't think about showing off. Let me be the bait."

"Besides, they are just a few water monsters that have broken through the mortal realm.

As long as the beast dares to show up, I can cut it into a plate of fish sashimi within ten breaths!"

"You..." Cao Jianxin's face was ashen.

But he knew that he was no match for the silver-haired woman, so he had to cast his eyes on the bearded man in the lead.

Chen Xuejiao also looked at Fang Xu, waiting for the leader's final choice.

"..."

Fang Xu looked at the one-armed swordsman, and then at the silver-haired woman.

After a moment of silence, he turned to look at the handsome young man who was silent.

"Gu Cheng, you said before that you can do any task? I guess your lightness skill should be very good, right?"

"Then let you be the bait, what do you think?"

"Okay."

Gu Cheng was puzzled, but still nodded calmly.

After all, he still had to strive to get the top 50, and there was no reason to refuse such a task that could gain merit.

"Hey! Big Beard, you..."

Chen Xuejiao looked annoyed. She had always been spoiled, so she couldn't stand others snatching away the opportunity to make merit.

But when Gu Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at her, the life sword hidden in his sleeve suddenly trembled violently, and she immediately closed her mouth in shock.

"Fangtou?" Su Yanan looked puzzled.

She had said before that Gu Cheng might be a half-baked man, so why did she assign him such a dangerous task?

It can't be because this boy is good-looking and can fish out the monsters more easily, right?

Fang Xu gave the female lieutenant a calm look, then nodded to Gu Cheng and began to assign tasks:

"Okay, then you will be the bait.

You don't need to care about anything else, just make a noise in this water and attract the attention of the monsters, I will follow you in secret.

The rest of you, led by Yanan, will be on standby one mile away.

Remember, don't alert the enemy, and come to support us immediately if there is any unusual movement on our side!"

"Understood!"

The lieutenants responded loudly and immediately took action.

For most warriors.

Crossing the water by stepping on duckweed is never a difficult thing.

As long as you practice any light skill to the level of proficiency, you can easily do this.

When a warrior practices to the level of breaking through the ordinary, he condenses the sea of ​​qi and can control the power of true qi..

You can even apply the true qi to your feet like chakra, so that you can walk directly on the water surface as if walking on flat ground.

Although Gu Cheng's Qi training has not broken through to the level of breaking the ordinary, he cannot use the true qi.

But his latest acquired 'water control' magical power is just a superior substitute for this ability.

Combined with the ultimate flowing cloud chasing wind step.

Gu Cheng is like a fish in water in this marshland, and his speed is as fast as a ghost, leaving a trail of afterimages.

A certain bearded man followed him from a distance and soon felt a little tired.

"What kind of powerful light skill did this kid practice?"

Fang Xu flew all the way on the water, looking at Gu Cheng's ghostly and elegant figure, and was secretly shocked in his heart.

Long before he set off.

He was secretly told by Xu Wenying to pay more attention to the young man named Gu and take the opportunity to test his true strength.

For this reason, Fang Xu specially assigned this difficult bait task to Gu Cheng.

As a result, he was almost thrown away by the other party before he caught the demon.

"General Xu once said that this kid is a gifted body training genius."

"But now it seems that he is not only proficient in the method of body training, but also has considerable attainments in light skills."

Just when Fang Da Huzi was feeling emotional.

Gu Cheng actually accelerated again, and his figure suddenly disappeared from his sight, leaving only a phantom that slowly dissipated like a mirror flower and water moon.

"This..." Fang Xu was stunned.

Damn, this kid did it on purpose, right?

You are a bait, what are you doing by running so fast?

Fang Xu's face darkened, but he was embarrassed to go back and join the main force, so as not to damage his dignity as the leader.

He had to pretend and continue to wander in this wetland forest.

At the same time, the role of the bait also inadvertently fell on the bearded man...

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

Gu Cheng did it on purpose.

The bearded leader was quite powerful.

With him following behind, if a demon was really caught, he might be robbed by the other party.

In order to avoid this kind of thing, Gu Cheng still prefers to act alone.

The area of ​​Shuiyunze is very large, almost catching up with one-third of Black Wind Mountain.

Gu Cheng wandered in this marshland for nearly an hour, and except for some birds and water beasts, he didn't see even the shadow of a demon.

Instead, he saw a lot of giant trees that were chopped into charcoal.

Even after a long time, the familiar destructive breath of Lei Fa still remained on it.

If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the work of Xu Nianxue's aunt half a month ago.

"It seems that she was not in a very good mood at that time. Tsk, the demons here are really unlucky..."

Gu Cheng stood on the remains of a giant tree that was chopped into charcoal, looking around, thinking.

According to his observations along the way.

This Shuiyunze does not look like there are demons fighting for territory here. Instead, it is unusually calm.

What is the ulterior purpose of Yan Qianhu's false news and tricking the captain of this department?

Just as the young man was lost in thought.

Buzz——

With a loud sound that shook the earth.

The broken wood under Gu Cheng's feet began to tremble uneasily under the surging waves of the accumulated water.

A weak but extremely pure demonic aura rose from afar, emitting a faint pressure.

Such a strong breath has far exceeded the limit of the demons in the Broken Ordinary Realm.

It was from a great demon in the Innate Realm!
