Chapter 63: Monster Hunting

This place was not far from the county government office, and soon the constables from the government office came out to check the situation. However, when they saw that the streets were full of monsters, they were so scared that they screamed and immediately ran back to the government office, closing the door tightly.

As if annoyed by the endless stream of monsters, Zhou Chen directly activated the magical power of the Eight-Armed Wolf Spider. In an instant, eight spider legs grew on Zhou Chen's back, although each spider leg was only half the thickness of his arm.

However, each spider leg is extremely flexible, and the front part of the spider leg is very sharp. If it encounters a humanoid monster with a strong defense, it can pierce through their body with just a slight strike. Moreover, each spider leg is highly poisonous, so it can kill a humanoid monster with just a slight strike.

Soon Zhou Chen was surrounded by corpses of humanoid monsters. At this time, these humanoid monsters also knew that Zhou Chen was not easy to deal with, so they scattered like birds and beasts. Although Zhou Chen was powerful, it was impossible for him to chase so many monsters at the same time.

He killed more than twenty monsters in his pursuit. At this time, there was no living monster to be seen on the street except the dead monsters.

Zhou Chen then collected the eight-armed wolf spider. “I didn’t expect this eight-armed wolf spider to be so useful. It is indeed a powerful weapon for close combat. It’s a pity that it cannot be used in front of people, otherwise it will be regarded as a monster.”

Zhou Chen came to the gate of the county government office and knocked gently. He waited for a long time but there was no response. Although there was no response, Zhou Chen clearly heard someone talking in a low voice inside.

"Open the door, I'm Zhou Chen." After hearing Zhou Chen's voice, the door slowly opened. Everyone was delighted to see that it was indeed Zhou Chen outside the door. "Sir Zhou, it's really you. Didn't you rest?"
"I heard some noise outside just now, so I came out to check it out. Have you informed Lord Xia about what happened just now?"
After hearing Zhou Chen's question, they remembered to quickly inform Lord Xia. Lord Xia, who received the news, quickly walked out. Seeing the corpses of monsters all over the ground outside, Lord Xia was also shocked.

"Why are there so many monsters?"
"This is only a small part. Most of the monsters have already escaped."

Lord Xia said in disbelief, "How is this possible? Even if those people wanted to transform into monsters, it would take at least seven days. And they turned into monsters after only a few days." Then he sent people to check on the people's homes.

The detectives looked at each other, no one went out to check, "Huh, a bunch of useless people."

In fact, this cannot be blamed on them. After all, they are just ordinary people. If they encounter those monsters, they will only die. It is normal for them to be afraid.

Lord Xia no longer had any intention of resting at this time, and then prepared to go find Doctor Hua to see how his medicine research was going. Zhou Chen returned to his room.

Leng Yiyao was still dreaming in the room. Zhou Chen came over and kissed him again, then lay down beside him. Leng Yiyao woke up early the next morning.

Zhou Chen woke up after noticing the movement beside him. After the two of them had breakfast, a constable came to Zhou Chen and said, "Master Zhou and Master Xia want to see you." Although Zhou Chen was not from the yamen, people from the yamen would respectfully call him Master Zhou when they saw him.

After arriving at the meeting hall, Zhou Chen discovered that in addition to Lord Xia, Divine Doctor Hua and Captain Zhao, there were three other people he had never seen before. Judging from their attire, they should be from the Demon Suppression Division.

I didn't expect that it would take such a long time for the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau to show up. At this time, a middle-aged man bowed and said, "This should be the brother Zhou Chen that Lord Xia mentioned."

Zhou Chen also returned the greeting and said, "Sir, you can just call me Xiaochen." After some polite exchanges, Lord Xia got to the point. Doctor Hua has already developed an antidote, but this medicine is only effective for people who have just been poisoned.

It has no effect on those who have already turned into monsters. Their plan is very simple. Doctor Hua and Captain Zhao are responsible for dispensing medicine to treat the patients in the city, while Zhou Chen and the three people from the Demon Suppression Division are responsible for killing the humanoid monsters hiding in the city.

The leader of the three demon-suppressing officials was Sun Ping'an, and the other two were Zhao Li and Wu An. After assigning the tasks, Zhao Kuo followed Doctor Hua and left the county government office. All the constables in the county government office were taken away by Zhao Kuo. Zhou Chen saw Sun Ping'an take out a compass from his storage bag, and then he took out a small porcelain bottle and dropped a drop of red liquid from it. Seeing Zhou Chen's puzzled look, Sun Ping'an explained, "This is called the Demon Training Plate, and this drop of red liquid is the blood of the humanoid demon beast."

"With this drop of blood, the humanoid monsters within a hundred miles will have nowhere to hide."

Then he saw a pointer in the demon-hunting disk spinning rapidly. Zhou Chen was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? Is it broken?"
"It seems that there are monsters hiding all around us." Then Sun Ping'an made a spell with his left hand, and the pointer of the monster-hunting disk stopped spinning wildly and pointed in a direction.

"In which direction do we go".

The three followed Sun Ping'an out of the county government office. They turned many corners on the street and finally arrived outside a huge house.

There were four big characters "Wuji Boxing Gym" written on the plaque of the house, and Zhou Chen was puzzled, "It's strange, why is it here?"

Sun Ping'an said, "This is the place with the heaviest demonic energy within a radius of twenty miles," and was about to go in. The three men, who were all very powerful, walked in without any hesitation.

The two people guarding the door wanted to stop them, but Sun Ping'an said directly, "The Demon Suppression Division is investigating the case, and no one is allowed to hinder them." The two men obviously had never heard of the name Demon Suppression Division and directly blocked the four people.

Sun Ping'an didn't say anything. Wu An behind him stepped forward and knocked down the two men with a punch. Both of them had one arm broken. Sun Ping'an ignored the two men lying on the ground howling in pain, and walked straight into the Wuji Boxing Gym with the three people behind him.

This Wuji Boxing Gym is much larger than the Badao Gym, and its strength is naturally above that of the Badao Gym. Seeing four people walk in, the disciples inside wanted to step forward and ask, but since they were outnumbered, Sun Ping'an didn't waste any time and directly drew the Demon-Suppressing Sword from his waist.

A blood-red blade energy shot out and directly cut off a thick pillar in the distance. Everyone was frightened when they saw this scene.

"All idle people working in the Demon Suppression Division must leave immediately. Anyone who dares to obstruct official duties will be killed without mercy." When these words were spoken, everyone was so scared that they dared not act rashly. One of them ran towards the inner courtyard.

The four of them ignored him and continued to follow the instructions on the Monster-Hunting Disk. After they arrived at the inner courtyard, the pointer in the middle of the Monster-Hunting Disk began to spin wildly.

"It seems that the monsters are definitely here," Sun Ping'an put away the monster-hunting disk and looked around. At this time, all the people standing in the yard were normal people. There was not a single monster, not even a single infected person.

"Where is your gym owner? Ask him to come out to see me." At this time, the owner of Wuji Boxing Gym also walked out of the room.

The owner of the museum was named Zhao Wu. Others didn't know about the Demon Suppression Bureau, but Zhao Wu had heard of it. After coming out, Zhao Wu immediately came in front of the few people with a smile on his face, without any airs of a museum owner.

My name is Zhao Wu, and I am the owner of the Wuji Boxing Gym. I don't know what instructions the three adults have for me. Sun Ping'an asked, "If there is anyone in your courtyard who hasn't come out yet, ask them to come out and gather here."

Zhao Wu did not dare to refuse and immediately asked someone to call out everyone else. After they came out, they all stood in the courtyard and said, "Sir, all my disciples in the inner courtyard are here now."
