All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 332 The Initial Formation of the Team
Qing City is very close to the mountain city, and Ji Ran got off the plane very quickly.

Stepping out of the airport, Ji Ran found a quiet corner, his eyes sparkling with color as he observed the cause and effect within himself.

Normally, entering the spirit world requires a completely safe environment; human interference can cause errors. Therefore, it is usually done indoors.

However, Ji Ran can now use cause and effect to check whether he has had any contact with other people in a short period of time. If not, he can find a place to enter out of sight.

After finding a corner in the terminal, Ji Ran's figure gradually disappeared.

When I opened my eyes again, under the pale light of the spirit world, the brilliant radiance of Jia Chen District shone from within, illuminating a hazy scene of light and shadow.

His own local shrine stood in front of the door, still shrouded in a thick mist, with pale blue flowers swirling around it.

Sure enough, the Ghost Golden Sheep was still there.

Ji Ran paused briefly, sensing the various offerings, most of which seemed meaningless. Was he testing whether he, as the local earth god, possessed any special abilities?

Ji Ran understood that because of the appearance of his Earth Temple's time-reversal skill, many people believed that Gui Jin Yang had the ability to reverse time. Many people offered spiritual essence and props, all hoping to reverse some failed pills and weapon crafting.

Some even worship Lingyun and have made requests to resurrect their deceased relatives.

These are things I can't do myself.

"Ok?"

However, Ji Ran spotted several familiar IDs among them.

【Tang Yao】, 【Chen Xi】, 【Hua Sheng Gu】.

These three are the online IDs of Tang Yao, Chen Xi, and Xie Yao. Tang Yao's is probably his real name. When I heard the three of them addressing each other before, it wasn't their IDs, so they must know each other in real life.

Each of the three offered a small piece of incense money, about one-tenth the size of their own large incense money, but it was pure incense.

However, Tang Yao offered an additional life-giving artifact.

【Divination Ghost A】(Life Tool)

Effect: Predicts upcoming events and can calculate the degree of danger involved.

Special Case 1: If the "Great Misfortune" sign appears, the evil spirit will devour the diviner, bringing forward the calamity.

Special Case 2: If a "minor misfortune" occurs, the divination ghost will devour the diviner as a price for its use.

Special Case 3: If the [Medium Misfortune] occurs, the ominous ghost will randomly devour the diviner or the source of the danger.

Note: In the early Shang Dynasty, human sacrifices were performed using tortoise shells for divination, indicating a preference for the ominous and aversion to the inauspicious.

[Offerings to the high-ranking True Lord, including tortoise shell artifacts; requesting several spiritual tools suitable for a mortician. — Tang Yao]

Even Ji Ran couldn't help but laugh when he saw this life-giving tool.

What a powerful piece of trash.

The fact that Tang Yao was able to use this item to request "several" spiritual tools indicates that this life tool is indeed of a high rank; at the very least, it should be effective for third-tier beings.

That would be even worse.

This means that almost anyone who uses this life-saving device will die.

Ji Ran chuckled and stroked his chin. He understood that some people knew he was a True Monarch from the Spirit Realm and wanted to take advantage of him.

In the eyes of a wandering warrior, this life-bound artifact, no matter how high its rank, is worthless. The value of a spirit artifact, however, is self-evident; most generals use rare treasures as their primary weapons.

Of course, this doesn't mean they don't have them, but rather that suitable spiritual tools are few and far between.

but……

I can use it myself. I can use my infatuation to only predict danger and prevent the ominous spirit from emerging. But that's all.

Ji Ran ignored the offerings and went directly into Jia Chen District.

Now, we need to meet the only MC first.

……

The Nightmare Master's Tower is located on the east side of the training ground.

Leaving the main road and walking through the ship-shaped tower, Ji Ran felt as if he had entered a vast labyrinth constructed of wood, bronze, rammed earth, and glazed tiles.

The building, a blend of bronze and wood, has no modern feel and is filled with the architectural style unique to the Tang Dynasty.

Seven professional buildings surround the streets of the training ground. The Nightmare Master's Building, with its vermilion and gold roof and double-eaved hip roof, appears grand and imposing. Ji Ran is very familiar with the two stone beasts in front of the gate—they are two Qiongqi sculptures.

"here!"

At that moment, Shuanghua Honggun was standing in front of the building, his face clearly visible. Ji Ran spotted him immediately amidst a group of blurry faces walking around.

"Where is the only MC?"

"here."

At this moment, Rinna Hoshiyama, dressed in casual clothes, walked out with a large white dog beside her.

The dog was clad in a dark armor, with a slender body, resembling an enlarged version of a leopard. However, its fur was slightly longer and snow-white, with the tips of its ears and the fur on its chin growing out in a pointed shape, making its face appear even more ferocious.

As expected, it was a celestial dog.

Rinna Hoshiyama said helplessly, "MC said that he probably suppressed himself because he occupied the Tengu in Yingzhou."

"Yes."

At this moment, MC shook his dog head and said, "I can feel that the original body is being suppressed by this physical body."

"However, I have become stronger. Now I can use the power of the third tier of Yinghuo."

No.

You're just fooling yourself again.

Ji Ran sighed softly to himself.

As the instigator who stimulated the only MC to control [Yinghuo] on Yingzhou Immortal Island, Ji Ran understood that the MC truly believed his hints and Hongfeng's request.

Now, if we tell him the truth and weaken the power of Mars, he can definitely regain his human form. But in doing so, his control over the power of Mars will drop significantly.

"If you want to regain your human form now, the Tengu's power of fire will probably disappear. What do you choose?"

Ji Ran didn't point it out, wanting to see what he would say.

"Let's keep it this way. Right now, I can at least escape when facing a third-tier opponent. Before I recover, I'll definitely die when facing a third-tier opponent."

The only MC subconsciously raised his hind leg, scratched his body, and said, "We're going to the Demon Realm after the New Year too. Strength is still important." At this moment, the only MC pushed off with his hind leg and stood up directly, saying, "The Demon Realm should be more accepting of monsters. I'll stay there then."

"Tsk, okay."

Ji Ran nodded. In that case, he wouldn't need to point it out. Once MC broke through to the third tier, he could naturally recover.

"correct."

The only MC said, "I brought the prison van out. It contains props, equipment, and organs. How should we divide them?"

"The quantity is large, and it's difficult to sell."

"I have an idea!"

At that moment, Rinna Hoshiyama suddenly raised her hand.

"explain."

"How about we rent a shop, tidy it up, and sell it gradually?"

Rinna Hoshiyama pointed to the entrance and said, "Now that the local temple can revert equipment, its prices are skyrocketing. Selling it gradually will definitely be more valuable than selling it all at once, and it should cover the rental costs."

Shuanghua Honggun frowned and said, "But... then the one who stays behind must remain in the shop."

"I can handle it."

Rinna Hoshiyama pointed to herself and said, "There are quite a few low-level practitioners within the Blue Party."

Ji Ran's eyes lit up.

"can."

Often, it takes a lot of time to sell items and equipment that you don't really need at a reasonable price.

Moreover, as a spirit beast keeper, one will need to consume certain special items when raising spirit beasts in the future. Regardless of the price, finding them will take a lot of time.

As the eldest daughter of the leader of the Blue Party, Hoshiyama Rinna's family has consolidated its power now that the White Party has completely collapsed with the Hidden God Society.

There's no doubt that the Japanese islands will inevitably fall under the control of the Special Operations Department in the future. With Rinna Hoshiyama's help, he might be able to utilize the Blue Party's logistics system.

"I'm leaving this matter to you."

Ji Ran looked at Hoshiyama Rinna and smiled, "Don't worry about the spiritual essence."

"We do need a stable logistics system."

"us?"

The person next to him, with double red sticks, keenly noticed Ji Ran's choice of words.

"You want to form a bounty squad outside the Special Operations Department system?"

"Can't it be done within the system?"

Ji Ran smiled and said, "I should be able to get a squad qualification soon. Are you interested?"

"no problem!"

Rinna Hoshiyama's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed!

Shuanghua Honggun glanced at him, shrugged, and said, "Me too."

"I...I'll go back and let the captain know."

The only MC said, "Because I used to work as a delivery driver, work in nightclubs, and drive for Didi after get off work, which delayed a lot of tasks, the team leader should be happy to let me transfer out."

Ji Ran smiled and nodded.

The squad you acquire yourself should be similar in nature to the [Zha Hu] squad, directly affiliated with the sequence squad. Such a squad has far fewer constraints and restrictions compared to ordinary squads. You only need to communicate with Xie Yan about everything.

At least, I trust these few people.

Rinna Hoshiyama is quite capable herself, and her family is very powerful. If logistics can be handled well, she will definitely be a crucial asset. The current headaches I'm facing, such as equipment processing, material gathering, and even equipment forging, will be much easier to manage.

The only MC with the Tengu aptitude, a level 5 Nightmare Master with the complete [Yinghuo] trait, can easily crush ordinary level 6 opponents.

The Double Flower Red Stick possesses sufficient combat talent and the ability to grant itself a second life through the Alien Devourer, making it capable of dealing with level 6 opponents.

"Okay, I'll send you a message once the quota is approved."

……

The four chatted for a while, then parted ways.

Ji Ran pondered for a moment, then decided not to deal with the offerings at the local temple. He needed to relax his tense nerves.

We'll take a couple of days off and deal with it while we're forging the equipment.

He immediately left the spirit world and took a taxi home.

Meanwhile, he sent a message to Su Su on the way, mentioning his desire to borrow the life-bound artifact, the Jade Pillow. However, Su Su did not reply at the moment, presumably because she was on a mission.

"call--"

Ji Ran leaned against the taxi, gazing at the familiar city nightscape. The colorful lights illuminated his face, giving him a sense of being in another world.

The vibrant atmosphere of the old town intensifies as night falls. The night here is like a warm glow rising after the day's hustle and bustle has subsided. Pedestrians come and go among the high-rise buildings, and the lively atmosphere of the night market rises busily outside the shopping malls.

The Mountain City Museum has been renovated, and after it closes at night, the square is brightly lit, with children's laughter blending with the sculptures and greenery to create the city's vitality.

Ji Ran felt her nerves relax.

If I get home at this time, I should be able to make it just in time for dinner.

"Woo-woo-woo—"

Suddenly, a police siren blared.

At the southeast corner of the square, outside the gate of the People's Hospital, the police cars and the commotion seemed out of place in the night.

The taxi sped past, and all Ji Ran saw was the largest white banner—

[The chief physician disregarded human life and is now childless.]

When the wolf dons a white coat, we are all lambs to the slaughter!
