Evil Immortal!

Moreover, the cunning and treachery of the skinning demon had also exceeded his expectations.

Who would have thought that this skinning demon was far more cunning than any other evil spirit they had encountered before? Not only did it avoid direct confrontation with him and Qiu Changshan, but it also specifically targeted the river patrol workers and nearby villagers. This left Huang Qing and Qiu Changshan feeling frustrated and helpless, and they decided to seek help from the Demon Suppression Division above.

Because he sensed the danger, Meng Yuan had been desperately fighting monsters and gaining experience these past few days, striving to improve his strength!

time does not wait!

Meng Yuan knew very well that if he waited for the skin-peeling demon to transform into the painted-skin demon, his situation would only become more dangerous!

"There's one more thing. I just saw several bloody eels crawl ashore and they were biting people like crazy. I don't know what's going on."

Sun Youfu then brought up another matter.

"Looks like a big guy has arrived nearby."

Meng Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. The blood eel was timid and would attack wildly if it was frightened.

The fact that so many blood eels reacted in this way indicates that what came from Yinliu River was extraordinary, far superior to the likes of the Skin-Peeling Demon and the Painted-Skin Demon.

"wrong!"

Meng Yuan thought carefully for a moment, then remembered something, his eyes flashing: "Black Sand City is located in Linjiang Prefecture, not too far from Luofeng Mountain where Golden Rooster Temple is located. Could it be because of that matter?"

He suddenly remembered a pinned post on a game forum from his previous life, which described how a game studio had received a hidden mission to help the Demon Suppression Bureau investigate the whereabouts of a demonic cultivator named Wu Xingkong.

As the player delved deeper into the investigation, some hidden storylines were gradually uncovered.

Wu Xingkong was originally a true disciple of Jinji Temple, holding a high position. However, he was bewitched by the demonic master Xue Mu Lao Zu, so he stole the treasures of Jinji Temple, betrayed his master, and joined Xue Mu Lao Zu's sect.

During his defection, Wu Xingkong, along with the previously hidden Blood-Eyed Ancestor, engaged in a magical duel with an elder of the Golden Rooster Temple, causing quite a commotion. Ultimately, the Golden Rooster Temple elder was injured and forced to retreat.

This happened before the server opened, and it took place on the banks of the Longyuan River. Based on the timeline, it should have occurred recently.

Yinliu River is a tributary of Longyuan River, and also a part of Longyuan River.

"So, it's very likely that the Blood-Eyed Ancestor is hiding near the Yinliu River or the Longyuan River?"

Meng Yuan stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Although this was just his guess, Meng Yuan felt it was pretty close to the truth.

There are many dangerous places near Black Sand City, such as Corpse Buddha Temple, Ghost Demon Ridge, and Red Mud Swamp. These areas are inhabited by powerful evil monsters. Dragon Abyss River is another one, with even more monsters inside.

However, under normal circumstances, most powerful evil monsters are territorial and will not easily leave their territory.

Therefore, the reason for the recent abnormality of the blood eel is mostly due to the outsider, the Blood-Eyed Ancestor!

"Should we report this matter to the Demon Suppression Division? It involves a demonic giant like the Blood-Eyed Ancestor and a major immortal sect like the Golden Rooster Temple. This is a tremendous achievement that could definitely get me a government position and many other benefits."

Meng Yuan pondered for a moment, then secretly shook his head, deciding to leave it for the time being. "Forget it, my current frail body can't withstand any storms. The slightest disturbance would leave me in dire straits, and I wouldn't be able to explain my information channels. Besides, these are just my guesses after all. Let's wait and see."

Although he wanted to join the Demon Suppression Division and obtain the "True Explanation of Ziyang", it did not mean that he would put himself in danger.

In life and in work, one should always prioritize one's own life.

However, Meng Yuan has decided to keep a close eye on this matter for the next period of time. If anything unusual happens, it is best to stay away, lest the gods fight and mortals suffer.

......

"Boss, you wanted to see me?"

Meng Yuan stepped into the courtyard and pushed open the door.

Inside the room, Huang Qing slumped in a chair, his body still covered in layers of fat, looking plump and strong, full of visual impact. However, his complexion was not good, with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes. He had a gloomy aura and looked obviously anxious.

Qiu Changshan stood by the window, gazing at the Yinliu River not far away, his face tense and silent.

Huang Qing looked up: "I heard you've been busy hunting down monsters like the Yin Corpse and the Stinking Blood Eel these past few days?"

"Yes, I plan to use these monsters to practice my skills and make some money while I'm at it."

Meng Yuan didn't hide anything and took out the water monkey skin.

Upon seeing the water monkey skin, Huang Qing was initially surprised, but then said, "Not bad, put the item here, and I'll give you ten taels of silver."

The river patrol team is a subordinate agency of the Demon Suppression Division, and is also responsible for collecting various materials. Water monkey skin is a good material for making leather armor, and its price ranges from three to six taels.

The water monkey skin sold for a high price, but Meng Yuan was not happy. Instead, he had a bad feeling and said bluntly, "Boss, ten taels of silver is too much. Just give me five taels."

Huang Qing is such a scoundrel. He always gives people a taste of their own medicine first, and then sends them to do difficult or even dangerous tasks.

Meng Yuan was a seasoned veteran in the workplace; how could he not understand the principle that "he who eats another's food is bound to him"?

However, Huang Qing didn't give him any room to refuse: "In my opinion, ten taels of silver is too little. I'll add another five taels, making it fifteen taels in total. It's settled then!"

"Boss, I'm only sixteen. I'm still just a kid."

Meng Yuan's lips twitched a few times: "If you need something, find someone else. I don't need the money, is that alright?"

"I got married and had children when I was thirteen, and I even slept with Widow Chen next door. You're telling me you're still a child?"

Huang Qing glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense, you're taking the money whether you want it or not!"

"You're as slippery as an eel, kid. I think it's the right thing to do for you! Actually, what you need to do is very simple. You just need to lure out the Skin-Peeling Demon and kill him. As a martial artist, you have plenty of energy and you also have some grudge against the Skin-Peeling Demon. Using you as bait, the Skin-Peeling Demon should take the bait."

As he spoke, his tone softened a bit: "Young Meng, you know what's happened these past few days. That skinner is too cunning; he killed quite a few of our patrol team members. I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. But don't worry, the deputy captain and I will be protecting you in secret."

Having said all that, it seemed there was no way to refuse... Meng Yuan sighed and said, "Boss, I only have one condition: after we kill the Skinner, I want its skin!"

Since you can't refuse, then try to get as many benefits as possible for yourself.

The skin of the skinned ghost can conceal its aura and also serve as a disguise. Once it is put on, it can be disguised as an evil spirit, making it less likely to attract the attention of other evil spirits. It can also be used to refine magical artifacts, making it a very good item. It will be of great use when he goes to the Red Mud Swamp later.

"Hmph, as a river patrolman, it's your duty to share the burdens and solve problems for the patrol team. Kid, don't be ungrateful!"

Qiu Changshan, who had been observing coldly, snorted coldly, feeling rather displeased with Meng Yuan, thinking that the boy was too greedy and petty.

In his view, Meng Yuan should not have any objections if he used Meng Yuan as bait.
