Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 15 Monster Hunting
The two stopped a car outside the old street and headed towards the farm.

suburbs.

At the gate of the farm, Su Chi got out of the car.

The owner of the farm and several staff members were waiting at the gate: "You must be the hunters sent by Qingtian Hunting."

"Hello, Mr. Guo. No need to be polite. Just take us to the site to have a look." Su Chi interrupted the polite words that Mr. Guo wanted to say and started to follow the procedure directly.

"Okay, okay, please follow me."

The farm owner, surnamed Guo, led the way and began to explain some details.

"This morning around one or two in the morning, Xiao Gao, who was on duty, suddenly heard a howl coming from the pigpen. He said that when he arrived, he found that hundreds of pigs in Pen No. 3 seemed to have been frightened by something. Xiao Gao then counted the number of pigs and found that there were nearly ten fewer."

"Xiao Gao was too frightened to enter the pigpen, but instead reported the news. That morning, when we visited the scene, we discovered a trail of blood extending from the pigpen to the artificial lake behind. We suspected a demon was hiding in the lake, so we immediately issued a request to your firm."

When the group arrived at pigpen No. 3, they found nothing except a pool of blood on the ground.

Su Chi then looked at Lingling who was standing beside him.

Lingling nodded and said, "The commission said we found footprints. Where are they? Take us to see them."

"Okay, please follow me."

Following the staff along the blood trail, we left the pigpen and came to what they called the artificial lake.

The artificial lake was hundreds of meters away from the pigpen, and on the soft mud beside the artificial lake, several huge footprints appeared in front of Su Chi and others.

"Looking at the shape of the footprints, and considering they live in water, I'm initially judging them to be from a crocodile-like monster, but we can't pinpoint the species yet." Lingling squatted beside the footprints and analyzed them for a while before coming to a conclusion.

At this time, Su Chi raised a question: "By the way, your farm should have surveillance."

"Yes, but I didn't see any demons in the surveillance video. I only saw a few black shadows flash by." replied Mr. Guo.

"Dark shadow." Lingling pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "Could it be that this demon possesses shadow-related abilities?"

Lingling tapped a few times on the tablet, then handed it to Su Chi: "These are some of the people I initially suspected based on the clues I have."

Su Chi took the tablet and started looking through it.

"The Pig-Eating Black Crocodile is completely black and prefers to be active at night. It has no resistance to pork. A slave-level Pig-Eating Giant Crocodile can eat a pig every day."

"Night Shadow Crocodile Beast prefers to move around at night. It possesses some shadow-related abilities and will not actively attack humans."

"The Black Scale Monster is a crocodile-like monster commonly seen in the waters around the Demon City. Its entire body is pitch black."

After carefully reading the information about these demons, Su Chi thought for a moment, then instructed Farm Master Guo, "So, you guys install large lights around the pig farm during the day and leave a few staff members to assist us. Lingling and I will stay here tonight. When the demons get close to the pig farm, the staff will immediately turn on the lights, and then I will eliminate them."

Guo, the farm owner, nodded and said, "I'll stay here tonight too. I'll turn on the lights myself."

Hearing this, Su Chi couldn't help but look at him with a higher opinion.

It's early morning.

The lights in the farm have been turned off, and Su Chi and Lingling have been squatting on the rooftop of the farm's office building for several hours.

"It's almost half past one. Could it be that the demon had a full meal yesterday and won't come today?" Su Chi yawned and felt a little sleepy from waiting.

"Be patient." Lingling sat on the edge with her petite body, a lollipop in her mouth, and glanced at Su Chi.

"Okay." Su Chi stopped complaining and followed Lingling's example, sitting on the edge of the roof. He looked up at the night sky and let the cold wind hit his face.

The hour hand slowly turned, and the time soon approached two o'clock in the morning.

"Su Chi, something's happening!"

Lingling's voice came to his ears, and Su Chi's attention was instantly focused.

Since all the lights in the entire farm have been turned off, the surveillance footage on the tablet only shows several dark giants moving quickly towards the pigpen.

After waiting for a while and finding that no more monsters appeared, Su Chi decided to close the net.

"It's time to get to work." Su Chi stood up and stretched, then said to Lingling beside him, "Lingling, notify Master Guo that we can turn on the lights we've installed in advance."

"Dimensional summons."

The moonlit star track turned into a space crack and appeared in front of Su Chi. Soon, a huge and majestic dragon head emerged from it.

As the entire body of the mountain dragon flew out of the space crack, a powerful aura of oppression unique to the general level spread out in all directions.

"A general-level fighter! And a sub-dragon!!" Lingling's exclamation sounded beside Su Chi's ears.

Su Chi stroked the little girl's hair, looking nonchalant on the surface, but inwardly he was secretly pleased: "Didn't I tell you before? There's nothing to be surprised about."

"The tone of your voice earlier, I thought you were joking! This is a general-level dragon!" Lingling pouted: "Pervert!"

"If you don't have some strength, do you think the president would trust me to bring you out to do the commission?" Su Chi explained.

Lingling is the lifeblood of Old Man Bao. If he didn't know that he had the power to protect Lingling, how could he trust a rookie like him who had never done any missions and take Lingling out all night to the suburbs to do a commission?

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Boss Guo has already turned on the lights. It's time to get down to business."

After Farm Master Guo turned on the lights, the giant creatures that had entered the farm had already revealed their shapes.

The surveillance footage on the tablet showed that it was the porpoise-eating black crocodile.

There are still four of them, but judging by their size they should all be servant level.

Seeing that no general-level monsters appeared, Su Chi couldn't help but relax. He directly ordered the mountain dragon: "Little Stone, go kill those four little crocodiles over there."

The size of the war general-level mountain dragon alone reaches the height of a four-story building, almost a circle larger than the war general-level demon three-eyed wolf in Bo City.

Little Stone is also the name Su Chi gave to this mountain dragon, which is already a young dragon.

Little Stone received the order and flew directly over.

"Aren't you going to follow it? What if it can't tell friend from foe?" Lingling asked doubtfully.

Su Chi shook his head: "Don't worry, the little stone is as smart as an adult, it won't cause any trouble. And..."

Having said that, Su Chi paused deliberately, staring into the little girl's eyes and then continued, "And if I follow, who will protect you? I promised the president that I would send you back safely and intact."

"Get lost! Who needs your protection?!"
