Chapter 77 This Should Be Burned at the Stake
Inside the room, Bai Mu checked his weapon. He had enough ammunition. As long as the crossbow arrows didn't break, they could be recycled and used again. The only problem was that the firing rate was slow.

"Stop watching, go to bed early, and do what you need to do tomorrow." Bai Mu carried a pistol with him and hung some small props near the door and the window, which would fall if someone opened them from the outside.

No one taught him this little trick, he learned it from a movie.

He almost died last night. He was definitely not the only victim in the town. He couldn't find other victims. The cross given by the nun seemed to be only effective against real demons, and demons were not within this range.

Looking at the two sleeping girls, Bai Mu counted the remaining bullets - since he couldn't sense the existence of the demons, the next demon werewolf killing was about to begin...

Death is certainly inevitable, but as long as a demon jumps out, Bai Mu will try to kill it. He can still deal with one or two demons with his own weapons, but if there are more of them, he will just have to endure it.

The next day, Bai Mu took Rui Fu and the others for a run. They didn't run too fast, but just ran around the town. Then he took them to experience hunting.

No one was puzzled by this. The groundwork laid in the past few days had made the townspeople's impression of Baimu become that of a strong wild teacher who could hunt. Within this range, nothing he did would attract much attention.

Someone followed them, three people...

"It's a bit troublesome. Are you scared?" Bai Mu did not rule out the possibility of hidden demons.

"You are not Denise." Claire whispered.

If it were Denise who was here, she wouldn't be afraid, but Bai Mu is not.

“…” River lowered her head and said nothing.

"Give me a little more trust." Bai Mu let out a sigh of frustration. The reaction of these two little brats was really irritating.

"What if they are human?" River, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Then destroy the body and cover up all traces. You do it!"

Ruifu opened her mouth slightly. The reason she didn't say anything just now was because she was worried about this. She couldn't help but ask, and Baimu didn't let her down!
"My rifle, my biochemical virus... Sigh." Bai Mu muttered something that River and Claire couldn't understand, and continued to lead them in circles without saying a word. He had explored the surrounding environment because of hunting.

In terms of cold weapons, the sword used by the bandit leader is very good, with a built-in mechanism, similar to the viper sword.

Bai Mu's comment was that it was too flashy and he simply gave up because he didn't know how to use it. The quality of other bandits' weapons was not as good as his dagger. At least that thing was obtained from the Processing Bureau and its quality was much better than the medieval indigenous weapons.

"Don't run too far later, both of you... Never mind, just see what happens."

Bai Mu didn't take River too far, they just stayed near the town. Although there were few people, they were not far away from River's starting point.

As for the residents who followed out, Bai Mu didn't care about their identities and would treat them as demons if they followed here.

Which normal resident would follow him deliberately for no reason?
"Hi, are you out hunting too?" Baimu led River and Claire to greet the three residents they 'met' by chance.

"Yes, Mr. Baimu, you often bring back prey, and we want to follow your example." The resident, who did not expect to be exposed so quickly, responded calmly.

"Am I the prey you want?"

In the instant before the three residents were slightly startled, Bai Mu had already fired a shot. At this distance, the resident closest to him had his head blown off on the spot, and only one of the other two residents came to his senses.

When another resident's mouth cracked and he turned into a demon, Bai Mu shot him again. The last demon had completely released its demonic energy and torn off its disguise, so Bai Mu could not pull his gun past it.

This was the limit of what he could do with his enhanced physical fitness and the distance between them.

The two demons whose heads were shot were still twitching slightly on the ground. With their brains destroyed, they were dead, but the demons' strong vitality allowed their bodies to still have slight reactions.

"There are only three of us. Aren't you looking down on me?" Bai Mu put down the crossbow on his back and stared at the last demon.

"There's not enough to share with so many people, but that's okay, now I can enjoy it all to myself." The demon grinned after releasing his demonic energy and completing his transformation into a demon.

When they are in disguise, they are suppressing their demonic energy, and their overall strength is much weaker. When they stop disguising and fully release their demonic energy, their strength will be greatly enhanced.

He was just a human being. If it weren't for the long-range weapon, he would have already attacked Baimu.

As the desire to eat grew, the demon could no longer bear it. Its arms quickly deformed, and the spikes attacked the white curtain as gunshots rang out.

Facing the incoming spikes, Bai Mu dodged two of them, one of which grazed his arm, leaving a wound.

The bullets fired from the white curtain hit the body of the demon, causing a ball of blood to spurt out. The pain stimulated the demon's ferocity, and the spikes that missed the target turned back, expanded and thickened, doubling their lethality.

The demon who had taken the bullet had developed a strong fear of Bai Mu's attack. This weapon had a strong killing effect on demons.

However, it would be difficult to kill him unless he was hit in the vitals, so when Bai Mu approached him actively, he changed his limbs into alienated form.

The huge claws could withstand the damage of the bullets. The demon swung the claws and smashed them fiercely at Bai Mu's head. Bai Mu took advantage of the airflow generated by the claws. He moved faster along the wind, avoiding the claws and emptying the magazine at the demon that was close at hand.

The bullets hitting the demon's body had little effect, but he could not ignore the bullets hitting the demon's head. The heart and head were both fatal to the demon.

Brain damage has a greater impact on demons. Even if the demon's body has released its demonic energy and been strengthened, it cannot ignore the attack of thermal weapons at this distance.

This is just a demon, not an awakened one transformed from a greatsword or a stronger abyss dweller.

After bumping into the demon, Bai Mu stabbed the hole in the demon's head twice with the dagger in his hand, ending this short battle.

"... Really excellent." The man in black robe hiding in the distance watched this scene silently. He was already sure that Bai Mu did know a lot of information about the organization.

This guy went out today to deliberately lure out the residents who had been transformed into demons, and later he showed his ability to kill three demons by himself.

Although he had used that strange weapon to take down two of the demons by surprise, when he finally faced the demons, Bai Mu showed top speed among humans, and his strength was not too bad considering his size.

Unfortunately, the organization has given up the plan to create a men's greatsword.

"Are you okay?" River ran over hurriedly, still holding the crossbow in her hand.

"No, let's prepare a fire." Bai Mu glanced at the wound on his arm. This minor injury would not affect him. He should just deal with the demon's corpse.

This thing was transformed after being infested by some kind of parasite. Bai Mu was not sure whether new parasites would emerge from their corpses.

Not long after, the brave residents who heard the gunshots came here. They became nervous after seeing the demon's corpse.

"We've already summoned the greatsword, so why are there still demons?" The residents looked at the corpses on the ground in panic, and when they looked at the white curtain, their vision had a sense of uncertainty.

The white curtain is alive, the demon is dead, the white curtain > the demon!

"Mr. Baimu..."

"What, sir? If we were in town, I would have asked you for money." Bai Mu interrupted the resident and said, "They were the first to act. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found them."

The residents gasped. This sounded even more serious.

"Money is not a problem. We can discuss it with the mayor."

As long as Baimu charges less than Dajian, it will be fine. They just invited a Dajian some time ago, and they really can't handle it in a short time.

Bai Mu clicked his tongue and said, "It's fine for me to take action, but you should be prepared to be killed by mistake. I can't see through the disguise of the demon."

"Ah, this." The resident stopped talking. He thought it would be better to ask for a big sword. Although the big sword was expensive, at least people would not be hurt by mistake.

There are many people in the town, and the possibility of each person being killed by mistake is not high, but no one wants to be the one who is killed by mistake.

The residents worriedly helped Baimu prepare wood for burning the corpse. They did not object to Baimu's suggestion to burn the demon, which would make them feel more at ease.

After all, demons are the source of their fear. Watching the dead demons being burned can somewhat reduce the fear in their hearts. They even added firewood when burning the corpses!
"What do you think about us making a stake and hanging anyone suspected of being a demon on it?" Bai Mu asked Rui Fu, looking at the blazing flames in front of him.

"Isn't that cruel?"

"This should be very popular in this era. We just changed our target."

"Mr. Baimu, you're joking. This isn't popular anywhere." The residents became even more frightened after hearing what he said. This matter still needed to be dealt with by the Great Sword. He didn't want Baimu to find some excuse to hang him on the stake.

"Isn't the greatsword called the Silver-Eyed Witch by you? The stake is suitable for a witch, and it can also be suitable for a demon."

"..." The resident's lips moved and he stopped talking. They couldn't defeat the monsters, let alone the silver-eyed witch who wielded a greatsword.

He didn't dare to respond. What if the big sword that was invited over later found out about this and hanged them?
After burning the demon's body, he just sent a lot of things with a smile, and never mentioned asking Bai Mu to help clean up the possible demons in the town.

He was also afraid of being killed by mistake, or being pointed out by the white curtain and burned at the stake.

Inside the room, Bai Mu was treating the wound on his arm. Claire kept staring at him: "You want to burn Denise?"

"Why don't you guess how long it will take her to eat me alive?" Bai Mu said without even looking up, "Dealing with demons requires professionals, and I'm not a professional, so I can't expect them to do that."

"Will Denise come?"

"I would rather the other great swords come sooner."
