Chapter 23 Battle

Everyone present looked at the photos.

Mumu asked, "So where do we go to find the snake demon next?"

The strange-faced man replied, "This snake demon has been missing ever since it left Cui Family Village. It suddenly reappeared these past two days, probably because it was hungry and couldn't suppress its desire to eat people."

"And there are no other villages around here, so it must be eyeing Shezhen town with predatory intent."

"I suggest we split into two teams and search around the town first. If we find anything suspicious, we can call each other."

"If nothing is found, stay in one fixed location, use your abilities to monitor the surroundings, and then react accordingly when the demons appear."

Du Wang recalled the habits of demons that Professor Zhuang had described.

Eliminating demons is not about having as many people as possible.

Unlike ghosts and monsters, which reside in fixed realms, demons often possess a stronger sixth sense, enabling them to perceive the level of danger in their surroundings.

If the number of superhumans hunted within its range exceeds the demon's power limit, it will immediately flee, even cutting off its tail to survive.

At that time, it will become extremely difficult to find the demons in the vast sea of ​​people.

Similarly, if the number of people is relatively small, then the demons will target the extraordinary individuals instead.

Because consuming a superhuman brings far greater benefits to a demon than to an ordinary human.

This is why the official team size is set at 2 people.

They have the ability to cooperate in resisting demons, and can also send reinforcements when problems arise, so as not to scare the demons away.

"Okay." Mumu agreed to the plan. "Then I'll be in a group with Chongtong."

The strange-faced man glanced at Luo Shen's sour face and smiled, "No problem, it's settled then. I suggest you go to the tower on the other side of town; you can see high and far from there."

Having accepted the strange face's suggestion, Mumu and Du Wang left the Wangjing Teahouse.

Staring at the two figures' backs, the grotesque-faced creature opened its mouth, as if to speak.

Suddenly he realized something and shut his mouth again.

"Let's go, Goddess of the Luo River."

Luo Shen followed him downstairs, and upon seeing the girls doing the live stream, she muttered under her breath, "A bunch of sluts who only know how to seduce men."

The strange-faced man revealed a knowing smile: "Your natal spirit is Jealous Woman's Ford, isn't it? Jealousy is the source of your power, isn't it?"

Luo Shen rolled her eyes at him: "What, does guessing it make you seem smart? What are you showing off for?"

The strange-looking man choked a little.

A hint of violence flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"I just wanted to discuss a collaboration with you."

"What's the point of cooperating with an old man like you? That handsome young man from earlier was alright." Luo Shen took out a mirror and tidied her hair.

The strange-faced man smirked, "But that handsome young man was brought over by Mumu. Do you think he'd abandon a pretty girl to help you?"

When Mu Mu was mentioned, a deep jealousy flashed in Luo Shen's eyes.

She said impatiently, "If you have something to say, then spit it out."

The strange-faced man calmly said, "I know you're short on money right now."

"If you can help me kill her, then all the snake demon's belongings are yours."

Luo Shen frowned: "Do you have a grudge against her?"

The strange-faced man shook his head: "This is the first time we've met."

Luo Shen rolled her eyes: "Then why did you have to take their life? Don't you know that murder is illegal?"

"Heh." The strange-faced man glanced at the ordinary people working in the surrounding shops and smiled coldly.

Do you think we're the same as these people?

"A bunch of pathetic creatures who know nothing."

"The law is just a constraint and an illusion for them."

"We are chosen by the gods, why should we obey the law?"

Seeing the Goddess of the Luo River's expression slowly change, the grotesque man continued in a seductive tone, "And don't you feel jealous?"

"She has everything you don't."

"Putting everything else aside, just that watch alone cost 50,000 yuan."

"He's a rich kid, he's only hunting demons for fun."

"If danger occurs, she can simply walk away."

"But do you dare to leave?"

"If you miss this opportunity, where will you find the money to save your life?"

The more Luo Shen listened, the more distorted her expression became; her jealousy seemed to materialize and destroy everything.

Seeing this, the strange-faced man curled up the corners of his mouth: "So we should cooperate, deal with the snake demon, and then join forces to kill her. I'll give you all of the snake demon's belongings then."

"Then what are you after?"

Suddenly, Luo Shen squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

The masked man replied, "I want something from her, but you don't need to know what it is."

"Alright." Luo Shen narrowed her eyes. "I can cooperate, but she was previously ranked number one in the Twin Ranks. Do you have the ability to kill her? Besides, she has a little follower by her side!"

The strange-faced man put his hands behind his back and said, "Being number one on the Twins list doesn't mean anything. Her weakness is obvious. As long as we deplete her healing ability, she will have no chance to fight back."

"As for double pupils... he's ranked 88th on the Twins List, and he's also a natal spirit with pupil-type abilities. Killing him will only be a bit troublesome."

"When the time comes, you hold off Mumu for me. Once I've dealt with the double pupils, we'll deal with her together."

"As long as you cooperate, there's no doubt about it."

At the same time, Du Wang withdrew his Suspended Eye.

He left a glimpse of his gaze in the private room of the teahouse, hoping to hear what the strange-faced man and the goddess of the Luo River would say, but he did not expect that the other party was very vigilant and did not give him any chance at all.

But he was not disappointed, because sometimes being overly cautious can also represent a confrontational attitude.

Even if you don't know where the other party's hostility and wariness come from, it's always good to be mentally prepared.

He looked at Mu Mu, about to remind her, but unexpectedly, she spoke first to express her apology.

"Feel sorry."

Du Wang asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Mumu glanced at him and said seriously, "I have a feeling this demon-slaying won't go too smoothly. Do you want to leave or stay?"

Du Wang thought that things would not go smoothly. Based on Luo Shen's jealousy of the girl, it was destined that the two sides would not be able to help each other when facing demons.

However, he was prepared and did not place all his hopes on these people.

"It's okay, I'm only in charge of reconnaissance anyway."

"If you two really start fighting, I'll definitely run away first."

Mumu smiled and said, "That's good."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed an old craftsman making sugar figurines, pursed her lips, and asked, "Would you like to eat a sugar figurine?"

Du Wang wasn't particularly interested in sweet things, but seeing the girl shift her toes, he said, "Okay."

Mumu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Never mind, let's talk about it after we get rid of the snake demon."

As we spoke, the tower came into view in the distance.

After the two climbed onto the city wall, Du Wang patted the feathers of the Corpse Crow and let it carry Xuan Tong around the town once.

"Let me check the situation first."

Mumu nodded and placed her hand on the hilt of the sword: "I'll guard it for you."

Du Wang's gaze followed the movement of Xuan Tong, taking in the entire southern part of Shezhen.

It was already dark, and with few tourists, the shops in the town closed one by one, while the lights in the surrounding houses gradually came on.

The corpse crows flew over the houses but saw nothing unusual.

When the pupil disappeared, Du Wang opened his eyes and saw the girl's straight back, as straight as a sword.

He said, "Nothing has been found yet, let's wait and see."

Mu Mu turned around and stood next to Du Wang.

This wait lasted for 4 hours.

12 pm.

A cold wind blew across the city walls, making the already dark town even more desolate.

Du and Wang sat on the edge of the city wall, hearing rustling sounds, unsure whether they were from mice or wild cats.

Just as he was having the Corpse Crow carry Suspended Eyes around Shezhen again, he suddenly heard Mumu say urgently, "The snake demon has appeared!"

He suddenly opened his eyes: "Where?"

"Over there with the Strange-Faced ones!"

"We'll be there right away."

The two jumped off the city wall and ran wildly.

On the other side, the strange-faced man and the goddess Luo were looking at the mess on the ground, their backs covered in cold sweat.

Just as they were searching and passing by, the entire house behind them was suddenly and silently crushed into pieces, embedded in the ground.

All that remained was a long, serpentine crater.

The key point is that they didn't detect the presence of any demons, which is simply unbelievable!

The thought of demons appearing so close to him made the strange-faced man clench his fists.

"It looks like it's coming for us!"
