Hunting God Era

Chapter 120 Analysis of Demons
The video data on the tablet began to change, and as we went deeper, even the lush green video started to change.

The cave walls are filled with mineral resources, mostly copper ore, densely covering the area in the video. Whether overhead or underfoot, the view in front is filled with minerals.

Just as these perspectives continued to advance, a humanoid figure suddenly emerged from the ore through the cave wall on the left, rushing straight towards the viewpoint.

The viewpoint shook violently, as if it were trying to dodge or evade.

From other perspectives, it appeared to be a humanoid demon wearing armor, but the armor was integrated with its body, and its entire body was formed of minerals.

Other perspectives also started shaking, revealing that several people reacted quickly and launched attacks.

The bullets flashed and sparked as they struck the demon, forcing it to retreat step by step, but only fragments were ejected.

Ultimately, it was Luo Jin, the second-realm cultivator, who appeared on screen. One shot was from another person's perspective, showing him slashing with his longsword, splitting gold and shattering rocks. The other was from his own perspective, showing him cutting the demon in half with a single sword strike.

However, when he cut through it, Li Ye could clearly see the resistance his sword blade encountered.

In that instant, all the perspectives of this batch of images were blurred and stopped displaying.

Li Ye and Fan Tie exchanged a glance. The latter then replayed the recording, repeatedly watching the demon, and exclaimed in astonishment:

"This is incredible. This stuff is unusually hard. Normal firearms can't handle it, and it's very polluting."

Li Ye was also watching the replay. As time went on, he felt his blood congeal, as if he were about to turn into stone at any moment.

This is a pollution unique to demons.

Those cameras have probably been assimilated as well.

As for this demon, Li Ye couldn't recall any relevant records. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't seen any information about it, or if this demon was being created for the first time.

However, Li Ye was no stranger to figuring out how to determine the habits and weaknesses of unfamiliar demons.

He previously worked part-time as a data clerk at the pest control department; he wasn't doing it for free.

Among the civil and military personnel of the Pest Control Bureau, the Pest Control Officers specialize in fighting, but intelligence gathering and analysis are the work of the Data Clerks. Otherwise, why would the Pest Control Bureau have two mascot badges, one a Bi'an and the other a Xie Zhi, both of which have symbolic meanings?

Despite their limited skills, the data clerk still had a knack for analyzing demons.

"Tentatively designated as Demon Number 1."

Li Ye analyzed the record and said, "A body made of ore is not very effective against bullets because they are very hard, but there is a problem with the seams. Look here."

He pointed to the waist area where Luo Jin had slashed with his sword, "When he first slashed, he cut into the seam of the waistline, and that part was smooth. However, his sword did not follow the line, and it clearly slowed down a lot when it reached the middle."

"The seams should be vulnerable, and the others have also fled. It's not just the Second Realm that can deal with it, considering the level of contamination."

He looked around and pointed at a young man from the Six Dragons Sect, "You, come here."

The man approached cautiously, causing the Chen family members nearby to open their mouths, but then dared not speak and held back their words.

"Stare straight ahead, and don't blink."

Li Ye had the man watch the replay. After a while, the young man's breathing became heavy, and the air he exhaled seemed to become heavier, as if it had materialized.

But upon closer inspection, nothing was found.

Li Ye waved his hand, signaling Fan Tie to put the tablet away, and asked the young man, "How does it feel?"

The young man took a deep breath and said, "It's so heavy. For a moment, I felt my whole body stiffen, but I can bear it."

Li Ye nodded thoughtfully and asked Fan Tie, "Do you have any fire-type weapons? If there's no lighting around and it's just hard rock, try using fire."

"There are incendiary bombs."

Fan Tie stood up. "I'll go get it."

He leaped into the air, shooting off like an arrow, landing with a single bound covering a great distance, and disappearing into the distance in just a few steps. As a soldier, his lightness skill was characterized by its expansive and powerful movements, emphasizing explosive force and speed.

A short while later, he returned with an equipment box and a batch of new night vision miniature cameras.

"Next batch, it's your Chen family."

Li Ye said to the Chen family, "If we encounter this demon again, it would be best if we could capture it alive and bring it back. If not, I want to see its attacks with weapons and fists, and I also want to burn it."

This time, no one said anything. Li Ye had already shown through his actions that no one could disobey him here.

After a brief hesitation, the Chen family gritted their teeth, took the incendiary bombs, and those with weapons took their weapons, while those with firearms took their firearms, and a group of people entered the mine.

The signal received by the tablet caused the video to play again. It still started by entering the mine, and the perspective returned to the location where Luo Jin and the others had been before. The demon that had been cut in half was lying there.

Ahead, even more of the number one demons appeared, some cleaved into pieces, others dented by immense force, lying there in disarray.

The first group of people who went in seem to be starting to put in their best effort.

However, Li Ye also found some corpses among the demons' remains.

They were all former disinfection workers from the Disinfection Bureau, at around the Six Dragon Gate level. At this moment, they were being held by Demon Number 1. The front part was Demon Number 1's arm. His corpse seemed to have been forcibly separated, but the arm was left on that person's body.

The person being embraced turned to stone, half of their body merging with the ground.

Further back, the body of the first demon was not forcibly separated; its head was knocked off, or half of its body was cut off, but most of it was still hanging on the corpse, in an embracing posture.

The body and the corpse being held together mineralized, as if naturally formed, and merged into the surrounding half.

The cameras on the chests of these corpses had also been completely mineralized.

"The pollution is very serious, but those who died were the disinfection workers who had resigned. Let's wait and see."

Soon, the perspective shifted to a fork in the road. Several viewpoints on the tablet were all heading in the direction of the demon corpses, clearly indicating that someone had been there and wanted to reunite.

They continued on their way, but there was nothing that changed or made it impossible to see anything. Everything was normal. However, after walking a short distance along this fork in the road, two more demons, number one, emerged from the cave wall and attacked silently from within their field of vision.

Li Ye and his team had night vision cameras to see, but the people inside didn't. As they went deeper into the mine, it became noticeably darker, and they didn't realize it at first. One angle suddenly became blurry.

From other perspectives, the first demon simply hugged the person, causing his entire body to begin to turn into petrified material. In particular, the first part to turn into petrified material was his head, which was instantly beyond saving.

The video started shaking. The second-realm warrior sensed something and quickly made a move. One of them used a long spear to pierce the seam of the number one demon. This time, the spear followed the line perfectly and instantly disintegrated the demon.

The other one used close-quarters combat, denting and shattering the other demon number 1 into pieces, before kicking it away and quickly throwing a firebomb, causing flames to erupt and scorch the demon number 1's body.

Under the scorching flames, the body of Demon Number 1 began to be blackened. Someone took the opportunity to fire a burst of bullets. This time, unlike the replay we saw last time, the bullets pierced through the body of Demon Number 1, creating an even larger gap.

This time it seems the reaction was timely and the shot was quick; the camera angle didn't get blurry, so the live stream could continue.

"Flames can scorch and are extremely effective."

Li Ye said, "However, this demon has an extremely strong corrupting effect. It's okay at long range, but at close range, even the Six Dragon Gates can't withstand it. I don't know if it's from the Demon Realm itself or unique to it."

"it's the same."

Fan Tie said, "These demons only operate in the Demon Realm. Whether it's the Demon Realm's pollution or their own pollution, it makes little difference to us."

Li Ye nodded and continued watching the live video stream.

But he also glanced at the remaining Kanazawa City warriors.

The next batch will be them.
