Chapter 98 Condensation Frost
Because he was too small, Zhou Chen had to prepare some food for himself in addition to completing the task. If he was too small, it would not be enough for him to eat.
Two hours later, Zhou Chen finally saw a black snake of good size. The snake was ten meters long and pitch black all over. It was obvious at a glance that it was highly poisonous.
Zhou Chen sneered and said, "It's you." At the same time, the black snake also noticed Zhou Chen. Originally, the black snake had no intention of attacking Zhou Chen, but after feeling the hostility from Zhou Chen, the black snake raised its front half high and looked at Zhou Chen with its tongue sticking out.
A mere eighth-rank snake demon was not enough to scare Zhou Chen. He directly took out an iron bow from his storage bag and shot an arrow at the black snake's eyes.
The black snake was unwilling to be outdone when seeing Zhou Chen's attack, so it simply lowered its head to dodge Zhou Chen's arrow, and at the same time quickly crawled towards Zhou Chen. After failing to hit the target with the first arrow, Zhou Chen did not shoot again, and let the black snake come to him and wrap around him tightly.
The black snake's body was getting tighter and tighter, but Zhou Chen was fine. Instead, a smug smile appeared on his face. The black snake, which was still exerting a little strength, suddenly felt a pain all over its body. It looked down and saw that eight spider legs had grown on Zhou Chen's body without him knowing when.
These spider legs were extremely sharp and directly pierced through his magical powers. His colleague Zhou Chen roared and broke free from his restraints. The black snake howled and its body flew backwards involuntarily. Zhou Chen flew over and chopped off his head with a knife.
The snake's body fell to the ground and its head flew high. Zhou Chen jumped lightly and grabbed his head and put it into his storage bag.
After landing, before he could clean up the black snake's body, he heard a noise behind him. Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes, turned around and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
The moment Zhou Chen rushed through the bushes, he saw a young woman passing by him in a disheveled state. At the same time, a gray wolf followed behind him, with traces of blood at the corners of its mouth.
In an instant, Zhou Chen understood what was going on. This woman must have come here to hunt, and then encountered this eighth-rank gray wolf and was defeated. The gray wolf chased her across half the mountain.
When the gray wolf saw that Zhou Chen, a human, was actually pouncing towards him, he immediately changed his target of attack and pounced on Zhou Chen to bite him.
The woman also realized the danger to Zhou Chen and said, "Be careful." Then she turned around and grabbed Zhou Chen's right hand and pulled it back hard. Zhou Chen's body was immediately pulled towards the woman.
The woman used too much force and lost her balance, falling backwards. Zhou Chen fell squarely on top of her. Zhou Chen felt his back was soft, and as a married man, he immediately knew what was going on.
The woman also angrily said, "Get out of my way." Zhou Chen quickly stood up, turned around, pulled the woman up, and then apologized, "I'm sorry, girl, I didn't mean it."
The woman wanted to scold him a few more words, but she saw that the gray wolf had come behind Zhou Chen and opened its mouth to bite Zhou Chen's back.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't care about anything else and just grabbed Zhou Che and pulled him aside, exposing herself to the gray wolf. The gray wolf bit her neck directly and blood spurted out immediately.
The woman's eyes were wide open at this moment, and her consciousness was frozen at this moment. Her eyes went blank and then she saw Zhou Chen holding a long knife and directly chopping off the gray wolf's neck.
The gray wolf died before it could even scream. Zhou Chen quickly threw away the long knife in his hand, grabbed the gray wolf's upper and lower jaws, and broke them apart with force, removing the wolf's head from his neck.
The moment it was taken off, blood spurted out, directly spraying Zhou Chen. The woman's consciousness was slowly fading at this moment, and the figure of Zhou Chen in front of her began to slowly become blurred. "You can't fall asleep," and then a huge vitality covered his wound, instantly stopping the bleeding. At the same time, the wound was also recovering rapidly, and his consciousness was also slowly recovering.
When his wounds were completely healed and his consciousness was completely restored, the woman touched her wounds with a look of surprise. If Zhou Chen did not still have his own blood on his body, he would have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
The woman's face was still a little pale at this moment. Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Girl, are you okay? You were too impulsive just now. You shouldn't have pushed me away."
The woman shook her head to calm herself down and then asked, "What did you do just now? How come my wound healed so quickly?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "This is my innate magical power."
"What, you actually comprehended the innate magical power?" Seeing his surprised tone, Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise you would be in real danger today."
After a conversation, he learned that the woman's name was Leng Ningshuang. The purpose of her coming here was actually for a mission from the Demon Suppression Division. However, she did not have the strong strength like Zhou Chen, and encountered an eighth-grade monster that was stronger than herself, so she fled in a panic after being chased by him.
Zhou Chen decided to be a good guy and handed the entire body of the wolf monster to Leng Ningshuang. According to the rules of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he only needed to bring back the head of the monster, and the body would belong to the Demon Suppression Guards.
Zhou Chen was afraid that he would encounter danger again when he went down the mountain, so he simply went down the mountain with him to Wu'an County. Although Leng Ningshuang had a cold name, her personality was not cold at all. On the contrary, she was very enthusiastic. The two talked and laughed along the way and soon returned to Wu'an County. Although Leng Ningshuang did not have a storage bag, she also had a storage device, but the space was very small.
In order to avoid any further trouble, Zhou Chen and Leng Ningshuang went directly to the Demon Suppression Division. Leng Ningshuang had been in Wu'an County for some time and was very familiar with the location of the Demon Suppression Division, which saved Zhou Chen a lot of trouble.
The two arrived at the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau and were stopped by the Demon Suppression Guard on duty. After learning that they were newcomers who came to submit a mission, he took them into the Demon Suppression Bureau.
The Demon-Suppressing Guard who led the way was indifferent to Zhou Chen, but extremely enthusiastic towards Leng Ningshuang. Zhou Chen could guess the reason. When asked about the relationship between the two, Zhou Chen originally wanted to say that they just met on the way and were not familiar with each other.
Leng Ningshuang took the lead and said, "He is my brother," then looked at Zhou Chen with a smile, and Zhou Chen swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
After the Demon Suppression Guard heard that Zhou Chen was his brother, his attitude towards Zhou Chen changed, and he smiled and told the two of them about the Demon Suppression Bureau.
"The Demon Suppression Bureau has four major halls, namely Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise and Vermillion Bird. No matter where the Demon Suppression Bureau is, there are always four halls. Under the four halls, there are dozens or even hundreds of Demon Suppression Guards, who are divided into teams of three people plus a team leader, a total of four people in a team."
"On weekdays, when these teams have nothing to do, they practice in the Demon Suppression Division. They will only be called together to act when there is a major operation."
"But according to the rules, each team has to complete a small task every month. It must be completed now, otherwise there will be punishment." As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at the mission hall.
The guy stopped talking and led the two of them in to complete their tasks. The two handed over the heads of two eighth-grade monsters. After inspection and no problems were found, they received a token.
They were given a token engraved with their identities, and were told to come back tomorrow, where the Demon Suppression Division would assign them a team.
