An hour later, Shen Ping and the others chased to the wolf demon’s lair. From the outside, it looked like a very ordinary col. However, after entering the cave, they realized that it was very deep. The cave path was winding and rugged, forming many forks like a spider web. If they did not have any tricks up their sleeves, they would definitely get lost here.
Since the wolf demons had escaped here, they were naturally not worried that the members of the Demon Suppression Division would chase after them.
The tunnel was filled with a fishy smell. Lian Nishang scrunched up her face as she was not used to it. In fact, they could use the power of their bloodline to block their sense of smell. However, by doing so, they would lose track of the wolf demon. Although Yan Jin and the other old members had other methods, they could only rely on their smell and experience to distinguish after chasing into more than ten forks.
Ow! Just as they arrived at another fork and did not know what to do, a wolf roar cfrom the depths of a fork.
“Chase after him!” Yan Jin immediately shouted.
Shen Ping frowned. “Brother Yan, it’s possible that the wolf demon lured us away from the mountain and deliberately lured us in through this fork.”
Yan Jin shook his head. “Even if we know that it was the wolf demon that lured us, we still have to chase after it. There are five forks in the road around us. We can’t split up, or else we’ll be tricked.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChen Ke also said, “That’s right, Junior Shen. When facing these demons, you must remember not to act separately. In the past, the people of our Demon Suppression Division have suffered a lot in this aspect. If this fork doesn’t work, then we’ll return and take another fork. You’d rather waste more tthan risk your life.”
Shen Ping understood. As long as their team stayed together, no matter how many wolf demons there were, they would not be a threat to them. On the other hand, if they moved separately, the wolf demons would be able to defeat them one by one.
Therefore, the group immediately followed the fork in the road where the wolf had roared and quickly entered. It only took five minutes before they saw the wolf demon. This wolf demon was extremely fast. Moreover, because it was familiar with the terrain, it kept leaving them behind. Even the wind-elemental Chen Ke could not catch up.
Shen Ping had long since broken through to the fourth rank and was not far from the fifth rank. If he were to give chase with all his might, he would be able to catch up. However, he did not want to stand out too much. After all, he had followed Yan Jin on a mission here mainly to accumulate experience. Only when he could hunt demons alone in the future would he reveal his strength at will.
However, Lian Nishang did not have such thoughts. She chased after the wolf demon for ten minutes. At a fork in the road, she seized the opportunity to use her water-type bloodline ability to slow down the wolf demon.
“Great!” Seeing this, Yan Jin and the other two were overjoyed. They quickly chased after the wolf demon and killed it. After advancing for a while, the stench in the air faded. “Let’s go back.”
Just like that, the group spent a full two days in the tunnel deep in the col. Relying on Lian Nishang and Shen Ping’s occasional bloodline abilities, they killed five of the remaining wolf demons.
“Damn it, these demons are really cunning!”
“Even now, I wonder if this place is the lair of the wolf demons!”
Chen Ke gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “Boss Yan, what should we do?”
They had returned to the mouth of the col during this period. The peripheral members of Ji Town who were guarding there were not attacked by the wolf demons. Clearly, the wolf demons were still in the deep cave path, or rather, there were other exits in the col.
“We don’t have enough rations. Let’s go back to town first.”
Yan Jin made his decision. They arrived at Ji Town. After living in the arranged courtyard, they ate their fill and discussed how to deal with these wolf demons.
The simplest way was to go to the county’s Demon Suppression Division to apply for demon-chasing powder. When this powder was sprinkled on the demon, it would leave an aura that could be sensed with the power of the bloodline. It, along with the Rhinoceros Tung Oil, were standard equipment for former demon-hunting members. However, if they wanted to use it now, they had to apply.
However, Lieutenant Lei would definitely not agree to use the Demon Chasing Powder to kill a wolf demon that was not even Rank 3.
“We wait. We’ll wait for those wolf demons to take the initiative to cout.”
At night, Shen Ping and Lian Nishang sat facing each other inside the room. Lian Nishang rested her chin on her hand and rested it on the table. She mumbled, “It turns out that hunting demons is so troublesome. It’s completely different from what the academy teacher taught. Brother Shen, why don’t those dynasties distribute the items now? If we had those things, hunting demons would be much easier. We don’t have to wait here anymore.”
Shen Ping said casually, “The Great Xia Dynasty is vast and requires a lot of money. Although the materials needed for these basic demon hunting materials are not precious, it’s still a huge expense to distribute them everywhere. It’s normal for the Demon Suppression Division to save some.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was nothing new. At the middle and late stages of the Great Xia Dynasty, the finances were not enough. Coupled with the prevalence of corruption, it was not a problem to deduct sresources to fill their own pockets.
The Demon Suppression Division was hunting demons and protecting the people under their rule. But so what? The people had nothing to do with the upper echelons of the dynasty.
“Alright, don’t think about this anymore. I’ve ordered someone to boil a large bucket of hot water. Wash up properly and get rid of the smell on your body.” Shen Ping smiled.
Lian Nishang nodded. “Thank you, Brother Shen.”
In the next two days, while they waited, they also strolled around Ji Town. Shen Ping bought sspices and made them into incense powder for Lian Nishang to wear. This way, the next tthey went to hunt demons, they would not be covered in a fishy smell.
“Brother Shen is so good to me.”
“We grew up together.” Shen Ping pinched her fair face and said with a smile.
Lian Nishang giggled. Then, she hugged Shen Ping’s arm and rubbed her newly grown chest back and forth.. “Why don’t we go to the col to take a look? Perhaps we can find the wolf demon?”
