Chapter 222 The City Gate Guard Arrives Late

"Trial project: Kill a total of 10 transformed spirits, current progress is 5/10."

"You killed an elite creature. Your experience points increased by 1500. The settlement amount was changed to experience points +7000."

"Hope you keep up the good work. This mission is in progress and the battlefield view will be closed in 4 hours."

As the panel was settled, an object flew out from the body of the Huashengmei boss, which was the charm core.

This elite-level monster had a charm core as big as a baby's fist, and its size was quite terrifying.

Zhou You used his innate hunger to devour the other two transformed charms and harvested two slightly smaller charm cores.

The charm core is a precious gem that is needed in many places, including the boxing skills of the formless bronze puppet.

The biggest gain from this hunt for evil spirits is the upgrade of the hunger talent, which allows enchantments to be placed on objects.

According to the panel prompt, objects with the talent hunger are disposable and cannot be reused.

Moreover, the requirements for the items are relatively high. They must be of a container type, and the material cannot be just an ordinary wooden jar.

It’s not convenient to test it now. I’ll try it when I have time after I get home.

"Ok?"

Zhou You suddenly discovered countless yellow dots on the panel, like streams converging from all directions.

The destination where the yellow dots converge is where he is.

The camps represented by these yellow dots are neutral, neither enemies nor allies.

Judging from the movements seen from the perspective of the battlefield, the yellow dots are evenly spaced and their movements are uniform. It is obvious that they are well-trained and are by no means an ordinary mob.

There are still a few hours before the battlefield perspective is closed, but I unexpectedly discovered new circumstances.

Which force in the city can gather so many experts?
Among these yellow dots, there are 4 most eye-catching and dazzling large yellow dots, which clearly represent the existence of martial artists.

All four martial artists are dispatched?
Zhou You felt the pressure coming. After all, the enemy and friendly camps can be transformed. Even though these are neutral camps, if there is a conflict of interest, they may turn into red dots at any time.

His mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to escape from the next situation!
The first team of city gate guards to arrive was Captain Ye!
"Captain, there is a figure ahead. Well, the aura detected is that of a living person, not a ghost."

"There are traces of blood and flesh on the ground, it seems that someone was eaten alive!"

"There are ruins everywhere. This place must have experienced a fierce battle before. It was a fight at the middle or even late stage of Qi and Blood."

The city gate guards dispersed and explored the surrounding environment, and more and more information was gathered.

Captain Ye held his sword in his hand, his face solemn, "We should move in pairs to guard against sneak attacks from the evil creatures hiding in the dark."

The water clock had previously given an alarm, indicating that there was a magical ghost lurking nearby, but when we arrived at the scene, the ghost's aura was chaotic and complicated, and there was actually more than one.

The problem is serious. It is normal for evil creatures to act alone, but once they form groups, they become a hazard and must be taken seriously.

The city gate guards searched carefully along the ruins, not missing any blind spots.

"It turned out to be the city gate guard."

Zhou You heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The city gate guards were responsible for clearing out the hidden monsters in the city, and they came for the three monsters.

After seeing who was coming, he frowned. It was Captain Ye, Zhang Shiyu's godfather.

Other yellow dots on the panel also rushed to the scene one after another. They were other branches of the city gate guards. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the other party had no chance to seek revenge.

A moment later, Captain Chang and two other colleagues arrived at the scene.

"What a fierce battle. How many people died?"

The only living person at the scene immediately attracted the attention of the city gate guards, who surrounded him.

"Send your name."

"Travel around!"

Captain Ye shuddered when he heard that. Two city gate guards came forward with torches, illuminating Zhou You's face to confirm his identity.

That’s right, it’s Zhou You himself!
He had just killed three transformed demons, and his blood and energy filled his limbs, but the tiger's evil spirit still remained between his eyebrows and hair. From a distance, he looked like an iron man.

This is the mark of a Qi and Blood warrior, and it is impossible for a transformed demon to imitate it.

Captain Chang glanced at Captain Ye and asked, "What happened just now?"

"Three magical spirits disguised themselves as blood warriors, luring warriors in the city to be hunted. Just now..."

Zhou You told him everything in detail and explained the whole story.

Tonight, the poisonous goose Lu Zhigang showed up, and the Qi and Blood Warriors moved at the news. Many people disappeared unexpectedly, and they were eaten by them.

At the same time, the city gate guards brought tools and restored the bodies of the three transformed ghosts, verifying Zhou You's statement.

"Captain, this corpse, um, looks like the transformed ghost that lurked nearby."

The guards at the city gate carried the remains of the corpse in front of four ghost-catching captains. When it fell to the ground, it made a clanging sound like a heavy bronze bell.

Captain Ye's brows jumped, he raised his hand to break the arm of Huashengmei boss, and weighed it twice.

He nodded silently, "Yes, it is indeed a near-submerged Huasheng Mei."

With his strength at the martial artist level, he used 70% of his strength to break the corpse's arm, which shows how terrifying the power of this transformed ghost was when it was alive.

Suddenly, Captain Ye raised his head and stared at Zhou You, "Did you kill him?"

"Yes, it took some effort."

As soon as Zhou Yougang admitted it, the four ghost-catching captains shook their heads, "Impossible, impossible, maybe your master should do it instead."

"Why not? The marks on the body were left by my Double Tiger Fist."

Double Tiger Fist?
Some well-informed city gate guards explained that this style of boxing was created by Zhou You himself, combining the Subduing Tiger Fist and the Two Hearts Fist.

The body of the Huashengmei boss was covered with claw marks and scratches, looking horrible, as if he had been besieged and killed by several people.

"Double-body tiger form, so this is the boxing skill."

The four ghost-catching captains looked at each other with horrified expressions. Zhou You had done something incredible.

He played three rounds of life-and-death duels during the day, killing two opponents and injuring one. At night, he still had enough energy to go out and killed three transformed ghosts, including an elite transformed ghost at the near-submarine level.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes and heard such a record, they would never have believed it.

"Okay, Zhou You, you are very good. Are you interested in joining the city gate guards and working with me?"

Captain Chang was the first to extend the invitation.

The other three captains suddenly realized that Zhou You was now an abandoned disciple of the martial arts school and no longer a member of the boxing and martial arts circle.

After he realized what was happening, he was very upset because Lao Chang had already gotten to him.

Zhou You shook his head and said, "I appreciate Captain Chang's kindness."

Captain Chang waved at him and said, "The outside world doesn't know much about our city gate guards, and there are various misunderstandings. Let me explain it to you."

"Once you know the duties of my city gate guard, it won't be too late to decide to join!"

With the strength Zhou You had displayed, he would have started out as a junior officer when he joined the city gate guard, similar to Zheng Qing's rank.

In order to recruit him, Captain Chang decided to tell him some secrets about the city gate guards.

"Old Chang, think about it carefully. If you know the secrets of my city gate guards and refuse to join us, things will be troublesome."

A lieutenant spoke up to remind him.

"It's okay. I'll take care of it."

Captain Chang waved his hand and asked Zhou You to follow him to the side and choose a clean stone to sit on.
