The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 185: Demon Detective (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on a fat white cat.

The white cat seemed to stretch lazily, and its eyes narrowed into slits with a chilling murderous intent flashing in them.

It silently calculated the distance in its mind.

In two more steps, the man and woman would step into its attack range. With just one move, it could kill the couple.

The little Taiping captain has the upper hand.

The white cat seemed to have seen the result and was very proud.

It forgot that last time it thought it could get a bargain, but ended up exposing its whereabouts.

The monster's greedy nature made it want to keep a low profile, but it couldn't help itself when it saw an opportunity.

The white cat arched its back slightly, ready to pounce and kill.

Suddenly, the Taiping Captain who was walking in front stopped.

The woman following closely behind him almost bumped into his back.

The white cat cursed in his heart, how could it be such a coincidence?
Just take one more step forward and you will be within the optimal range for attack.

At this distance, although I can still make a move, I am not sure I can kill with one strike.

The white cat suppressed the urge to attack and waited for the best opportunity.

At this moment, suddenly, a bright sword light burst out.

Before the white cat could react to what was happening, it felt a chill all over its body. A sense of fear suddenly rose from its bones, making it tremble unconsciously all over.

For a moment, it seemed as if it encountered blood suppression, and the strong fear slowed down its reaction.

With a terrified scream, its body quickly grew in size, and in the blink of an eye it was already more than ten feet tall.

It's sizzling!

The blade cut through its body and blood gushed out instantly.

"you--"

The white cat didn't know what happened, but it was obvious that the other party had seen through its identity and attacked it!

The original hunter instantly became the prey.

The white cat became angry and embarrassed.

A mere Taiping lieutenant, a human in the Transmigration Realm, should have run away after discovering its identity. Why did he dare to take the initiative to attack it?
This is courting death!
The white cat was suddenly angry after being injured by a sneak attack, and it slapped with its claws.

Suddenly, the human in front of it seemed to disappear.

There was a terrifying tiger roar, and the white cat seemed to see a white tiger that blocked out the sky.

The overwhelming aura emanating from the white tiger caused its body to go limp.

"Ancestor?"

The white cat's movements were frozen in the air.

It has a thin white tiger bloodline, and at this moment, it actually felt the blood aura for several breaths.

It was as if it was not facing a human being, but a white tiger that had come from the origin to the present!
puff!
With a slight sound, the blade cut through the white cat's neck.

The huge demon head rolled down, and blood splattered all over the ground.

The white cat's eyes were wide open until it died, and its eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement.

All this happened in an instant.

No one knows what is going on in the white cat's mind.

In Luo An Ning's eyes, she followed Su Mu to a village to track down a third-level monster.

Just as he reached the entrance of the village, Su Mu suddenly stopped, and then he drew his knife at a big fat white cat at the entrance of the village.

She didn't sense any demonic aura from the white cat.

Before she could figure out why Su Mu attacked an ordinary white cat, she saw the white cat suddenly turned into a ferocious monster.

That violent aura is definitely at the third level!

Comparable to a human warrior in the Zhenyuan realm!
The enraged third-level monster fought back.

Luo An Ning had subconsciously drawn her sword and rushed forward, and she had just taken a step.

Then she saw that the third-level monster suddenly stopped for some reason. It just stood there motionless, and Su Mu cut off its head with one knife.

The whole process was as if the third-level monster stretched out its head and let Su Mu chop it off.

"Su... Senior Brother Su, you killed a third-level monster without using the Five Fires Heaven-shaking Bow?"

Luo Anning stuttered.

Although Su Mu had killed third-level monsters before, it was all due to the power of the mysterious soldiers.

Being able to use Xuanbing to shoot and kill third-level monsters can also illustrate Su Mu's strength, but there is still a layer of separation after all.

Su Mu is not using the Five Fires Heaven Shocking Bow now.

"It's just a third-level monster with a weak will, at most equivalent to the initial stage of the True Essence Realm."

Su Mu said lightly.

This third-level monster was too timid. It was so frightened by the white tiger's murderous intent that it didn't even know how to resist. Otherwise, it could have at least held out for three more moves under his sword.

There are such cowardly fools among the monsters.

This third-level monster seems to have good talent, but he is too timid and lacks combat experience. He is even worse than Wenren Jiangbo.

"That's also a third-level monster."

Luo Anning muttered softly.

She felt that she had worked hard enough, so why did the gap between her and Senior Brother Su seem to be getting bigger and bigger?
Obviously, I was the stronger one at the beginning.

If this continues, how can I fight alongside Senior Brother Su?

Luo An Ning, Luo An Ning, you have to work harder. Senior Brother Su has given you the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Technique!

Miss Luo clenched her fists and secretly encouraged herself.

Su Mu looked at the little girl strangely. Why did she still look so excited?
It's just an ordinary third-level monster.

"This should be the third-level monster mentioned in the news that is good at changing and hiding its aura."

Su Mu walked up to the corpse of the third-level monster and spoke.

"That's it!"

As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, there was a sound of disorderly footsteps, and several Taiping captains and twenty or thirty Taiping commanders rushed out of the village.

The leading Taiping Captain was stunned for a moment when he saw the corpse of the third-level monster on the ground, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

They were also investigating the traces of a third-level monster nearby, and just now they sensed an explosion of demonic energy, so they hurried over to check it out.

Unexpectedly, in just a few breaths, the third-level monster fell down.

"Junior Brother Su, I haven't seen you for a while. You have become stronger again."

The leading Taiping Captain said with a smile.

"Brother Xu? You let him out?"

Su Mu said with some surprise.

The smile on Xu Chongyuan's face froze, "Brother Su, you shouldn't do something so hurtful, why did you let him go?

I'm just looking for an excuse to be lazy, otherwise, how could the Inspectorate trap me?
I'm not bragging to you, but I beat up that fifth-rank inspector, Wu Qiuyuan, several times a day, and his panda eyes haven't even gone down yet."

"Senior Brother Xu is so powerful."

Su Mu said.

"Brother will treat you to a drink later. I heard that you are very familiar with Xiang Da. Let's go to her building to listen to some music. Then brother will tell you about the incident of beating Wu Qiuyuan." Xu Chongyuan said familiarly, putting his arm around Su Mu's shoulder.

Su Mu was slightly moved. He had never seen a brothel in this world.

Just as I was about to speak, a somewhat resentful voice suddenly sounded.

"Uncle Xu, I want to tell Master Zhao that you have led Senior Brother Su astray..."

Xu Chongyuan looked back and slapped his forehead.

"It turned out to be Captain Luo. What a coincidence."

He laughed it off and forgot this person was there.

She winked at Su Mu and said she would make an appointment later.

He coughed and said with a stern face, "There's something strange about this third-level monster!"

"Is there anything weird?"

Su Mu asked, "What's strange?"

"The monsters we usually encounter are all ferocious and bloodthirsty. They come out of Daxing Mountain for blood and food, but this monster is different."

Xu Chongyuan also put away his playful smile and said seriously, "It has clearly broken into the village, but it didn't kill anyone. This is very strange."

For monsters, human flesh and blood is extremely delicious food, and they find it extremely difficult to resist this temptation.

With the strength of a third-level monster, it can easily kill everyone in a village.

But this third-level monster had clearly broken through the Taiping Division's defense line, and it had even been hiding in this village for many days.

It has not slaughtered the villagers for so many days, which is almost unimaginable for a monster.

After Xu Chongyuan said this, Su Mu also understood.

Speaking of which, if the White Tiger Body had not sensed something when he was approaching this third-level monster, he would not have realized that this lazy fat cat was a third-level monster.

"Brother Xu, are you saying that this third-level monster might have other plans?"

Su Mu thought about it.

The fact that a third-level monster could control its desires so well could only mean that it had big plans.

"clever!"

Xu Chongyuan snapped his fingers and said, "It's better to talk to you, Junior Brother Su. Some guys just can't understand me even if I talk for a long time."

As Xu Chongyuan spoke, he squatted down in front of the corpse of the third-level monster and began to search its body.

For a senior Taiping lieutenant like Xu Chongyuan, joking aside, everyone has his own unique skills.

Xu Chongyuan was extremely good at judging cases by inspection.

He searched the body of the third-level monster for a while and actually found a piece of animal skin from its corpse.

There were many crooked lines drawn on the animal skin with charcoal.

“This is—a circuit map!”

Xu Chongyuan looked at it for a while, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Route map?"

Su Mu leaned forward to take a closer look, and saw only a bunch of messy lines, like a child's graffiti.

He didn't know how Xu Chongyuan figured out the route, and he felt it was impressive.

“It’s confirmed.”

Xu Chongyuan said in a deep voice, "This third-level monster must have come from the Monster Court. It is a Monster Detective!"

"What is a demon detective?"

Su Mu asked doubtfully.

"The demon detectives are spies sent by the demon court."

Xu Chongyuan explained, "Some time ago, I heard from my brothers in Liangzhou that the Demon Court has trained a group of demon detectives to sneak into Daxuan to investigate our background. I didn't expect that they have already run to our Jingzhou!"

Liangzhou directly borders the Savage Continent, so it is not surprising to find demon detectives.

However, Jingzhou and the wilderness are separated by the 800-li Daxing Mountains. Unless the monsters cross the 800-li Daxing Mountains, they have no way to reach Jingzhou directly.

The 800-li Daxing Mountains are not only full of dangers for humans, but even for monsters, it is not a smooth journey.

Due to the harsh environment and various unpredictable dangers, it is difficult for ordinary monsters to pass through the 800-li Daxing Mountains.

The wild monsters in the Daxing Mountains will not give face to the Demon Court. If the monsters from the Demon Court dare to enter their territory, they will still kill them.

Therefore, it is difficult for the demon detectives from the Demon Court to cross the Daxing Mountains and come directly to Jingzhou.

"So, this is the route it took from Daxing Mountain? With this route map, the monsters in the Demon Court can come directly to Jingzhou from Daxing Mountain?"

Su Mu said with a serious expression.

"Most likely!"

Xu Chongyuan also said with a serious expression, "If the Demon Court has really discovered a route, then we will be in trouble.

It is equivalent to the army of the Demon Court, which can cross the border and directly attack Jingzhou.

Now we need to confirm whether this route was discovered by this third-level monster, and whether it has transmitted the route back to the Monster Court."

"Uncle Xu, are you sure this is really a road map?"

Luo An Ning looked at the lines on the animal skin and asked in a daze.

Like Su Mu, she couldn't tell that it was a road map.

"You can always trust my eyes which are the best at discovering things."

Xu Chongyuan pointed at his eyes and said, "I bet this is definitely a road map. Monsters don't have words, so the maps they draw can't be the same as ours.

But I heard that the monsters in the Demon Court have begun to learn our language, and they are becoming more and more terrifying. "

"This is a matter of great importance. Junior Brother Su, please come back to the city with me and report this matter to the Governor."

Xu Chongyuan said.

Su Mu nodded. They were originally planning to return to the city.

Xu Chongyuan ordered the Taiping Captain he brought with him to carry up the body of the third-level monster, then waved his hand and returned to the city.

Walking side by side in the front, Xu Chongyuan bumped Su Mu with his shoulder and smiled obscenely, "Junior Brother Su is so lucky. I have discovered with my eyes that Junior Sister Luo is quite attractive..."

Su Mu was stunned for a moment before he realized what Xu Chongyuan meant, and was immediately speechless.

He is really worthy of being Captain Xu, who was imprisoned for several months by the Supervisory Office for drinking too much. His train of thought is also very unique.

Complaining in his heart, Su Mu couldn't help but look back at Luo An Ning. It seemed that Miss Luo had indeed grown up again, and after she comprehended the artistic conception of Kanshui, she became more and more beautiful.

Luo An Ning did not notice Su Mu's gaze. She was walking on the road with everyone else and did not have to be distracted by guarding against monsters. So she raced against time to comprehend the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Art.

If she didn't have enough talent, she would make up for it with hard work. She made sure not to be left far behind by Senior Brother Su.

The serious Miss Luo exudes charm from head to toe.

The more she comprehended the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Art, the more mysterious it seemed to her. This was definitely a superb rebirth art!

"Brother Su gave me such a good rebirth technique, how can I repay him?"

She secretly glanced at Su Mu's back and said to herself, "The Luo family still has a soul-gathering stone that can assist in the cultivation of the True Yuan Realm. Senior Brother Su should be about to break through to the True Yuan Realm. I will give him the soul-gathering stone, but a soul-gathering stone is not as good as the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Art. What else does Senior Brother Su lack?

Yes, just now when Uncle Xu said he would take him to drink wine, he seemed a little moved.

Well, that's it. In addition to the Spirit Gathering Stone, I will..."

Miss Luo made up her mind, retracted the thought, and continued to comprehend the Xiaoxiang Rebirth Art.
