As Du Wang left the research lab, Professor Zhuang's words kept replaying in his mind.

This reminder was very important to him.

He pointed out the true nature of the power of a level 2 Spirit Master.

Instead of focusing on the breadth of abilities, we should look at the depth of those abilities and the mastery of one's innate spirit.

Although his ranking is rising rapidly, it is due to the diversity of his abilities and his ability to see through the "Death Line".

In the Twin Rank, the four abilities are indeed extremely outstanding.

However, once you reach the Spirit Master level, other top-ranked extraordinary individuals also possess at least three abilities.

The gap between the two sides has been largely erased.

In this situation, his ranking improvement rate will inevitably slow down.

To avoid this situation, one must delve deeper into the abilities of the Eyebag Demon in order to maintain an advantage at all times and enter the top ten faster than others.

"Uncover the essence of your abilities, try to combine the three abilities, and communicate with your natal spirit. That's what we need to do next."

Thanks to Professor Zhuang, Du Wang was able to see his path forward clearly.

If he can accomplish these three things, he will be able to improve his ranking faster than others after advancing to Tier 2.

In addition, he also asked Professor Zhuang, intentionally or unintentionally, about the second-tier mythical creatures.

Professor Zhuang explained that since mythical creatures do not have a degree of control, new abilities often awaken directly after advancement.

Moreover, the abilities of mythical creatures are far more wondrous, more idealistic, and more difficult to deal with than those of natal spirits.

If you encounter a mythical creature host in the future, even if it is only at level 1, it is best to be cautious.

Du Wang felt this very strongly.

After all, the [Death Line]'s ability is a natural enemy, countering all evil spirits and superhumans.

I wonder what new abilities I will gain from the three-legged corpse crow after advancing to the second rank.

With a head full of thoughts, Du Wang passed by the gaming area.

"Old Du!" Cheng Huo poked his head out from behind the glass door. "The poster has sent a message."

Du Wang strode into the game room.

Cheng Huo handed over his phone: "He released the forecast of the two demons' arrival. Take a look."

Du Wang took the phone.

"May 2nd, 8:13 PM. A snake demon will appear in the Palm Residential Area of ​​the Liberated District. It is adept at hiding, and the divination indicates misfortune!"

"At 3:22 AM on May 18th, a water monster will appear in Chenghua Park in Gongsheng District. The divination indicates misfortune. Be careful near the river."

[Dog bites Lü Dongbin: Tonight, we'll deal with the snake demons first. Their gathering place is at No. 21 Qingbei Street. Don't be late! I'll drive over to pick you up then.]

Du Wang handed the phone back: "A snake demon and a water demon, both are relatively difficult types of demons to find."

Although there is no set pattern to the appearance of evil spirits, generally speaking, snake demons are more likely to appear than other types of demons.

Professor Zhuang and other researchers believe this is highly related to the habits of snakes.

Hidden in the mountains and forests, a single, fatal blow.

These two points alone make snakes extremely dangerous and highly capable of cultivating themselves at any time.

"It's okay, watch me." Cheng Huo was very confident in his hearing.

"We still need to plan ahead," Du Wang said. "I'll go check the relevant demon files in the Investigation Department."

Cheng Huo: "Then I'll go find Zheng Tong and see if I can get some useful props."

Since their experience in the Ghost Realm, Cheng Huo's relationship with Zheng Tong has undergone a qualitative change. After work, Cheng Huo would even invite Zheng Tong out for drinks.

After the two parted ways, Du Wang returned to the office area and sat in front of his computer.

A few minutes later, he found the snake demon's file.

It contains a detailed record of the entire process of the extraordinary individuals receiving the mission and entering the Palm Community to search.

Unexpectedly.

Even though the superhumans entered the community beforehand, they searched for two hours, and no one died or was injured during the entire process, as if the demons had never appeared at all.

This goes beyond mere skill in concealment.

You could even say it's an anomaly among demons.

The superhumans searched for several hours without finding anything and had to leave Palm Village.

After another week of observation, nothing unexpected happened.

After reviewing the file, Du Wang felt there was really nothing to ponder.

After all, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a cowardly demon.

No wonder the poster chose himself and Cheng Huo; he was afraid that even if he knew the location, he wouldn't be able to find the demon.

He closed the snake demon file and continued reading the water demon file.

There are significantly more records about water monsters now.

The supernatural being who handled the descent claimed that he found a monster by the river, which looked strange, like a toad.

It has the following characteristics:

It has bright red, round eyes, black skin, large ears that catch the wind, long arms, and sharp claws. When it stands, it is half a person tall.

Once the demons were discovered, eliminating them should have been just a matter of time.

But this toad was an excellent swimmer.

Injured, it immediately plunged into the park's water and disappeared without a trace.

The investigation department originally planned to drain the lake in the park, but unexpectedly learned that the lake in Chenghua Park was connected to several nearby small lakes, leading all the way to a large river in the suburbs.

There was nothing that could be done. Who knew if the demon had already swum into the river? Naturally, the matter of pumping water was abandoned.

However, researchers have found the original text of the ancient book as to its true identity.

It is recorded in many ancient books such as "Bai Ze Tu":

"The spirit of water is called 'Wangxiang,' which resembles a small child with red eyes, black skin, large ears, and long claws. It can be captured by binding it with a rope. Cooking it brings good fortune."

Its appearance is exactly the same as the eyewitness description, so it can be confirmed with 100% certainty that the water demon is Wangxiang.

And like many river gods in movies and novels, it has a fondness for children.

After Du Wang had meticulously memorized all the details, Cheng Huo returned from the underground research lab.

"Look, what's this?"

He tossed a small plastic disc onto the table, pressed a button on it, and the unique 7.83 Hz frequency immediately filled the office.

Du Wang raised his eyebrows, feeling that this thing was similar to a buzzer bomb.

Cheng Huo closed the plastic disc: "This was made by Zheng Tongxin. He said it can attract hidden evil spirits. We'll test it out for him tonight to see if it works."

Now that all preparations have been made, all that's left is to wait for night to fall.

9:25pm.

No. 21 Qingbei Street.

This is an abandoned steel plant located in the Gongsheng District.

Ten years ago, it was the pride of the southern part of the city; a single helmet from it was the envy of countless people.

Unfortunately, a financial fraud scandal was later exposed, and the company gradually declined due to huge debts, eventually filing for bankruptcy.

Its "corpse" was already shrouded in darkness, with only a few dim streetlights illuminating the surroundings.

When Du Wang arrived, apart from the poster, the other two were already waiting by the roadside.

"Hey buddy, my name is Nine Ears, and you're... the Fierce Ape?"

Cheng Huo in front of me had changed his appearance; he had black hair and glasses, and looked tall, strong, and refined.

He was completely unlike his usual unruly self.

When he saw Du Wang, he pretended not to know him and greeted him.

"Yes, that's right." Du Wang had also used his illusionary powers to change his appearance.

"Haha, you don't look fierce at all." Cheng Huo laughed awkwardly a few times, then shifted his gaze to the girl next to him wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt.

Du Wang greeted him, "Hello, you must be Mo'er."

Mo'er glanced at the two of them with her eyes hidden under the brim of her hat, but did not respond.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer, Du changed the subject: "The poster hasn't arrived yet?"

"Yeah, they're so slow and indecisive," Cheng Huo complained.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a beam of high beam shone towards them.
