At half past one in the night, at the gate of the Demon Hunting Academy, Ren Jie, dressed in black, sat on Noyan's motorcycle.
Nuoyan looked unhappy:
(,,վ～վ,,) "I lent you the car. Don't scratch it. Remember to return it to me..."
"Hey~ This is for you!"
After saying that, he stuffed the three metal tubes into Ren Jie's arms. Ren Jie was startled:
"What's this?"
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Noyan's face:
"The purified version of Red Sky Demonic Blood can greatly enhance the effect of demonic improvement... What's the cost? It might make you a little bit crazy. As for other costs, when you really have to use this, there is no need to consider other costs. It’s a price…”
"Do you know? There is a dividing line, or a door, between humans and demons. As long as you don't cross that red line, you are still a human being..."
"Remember...never open that door. The world behind the door is definitely not the world you expected."
"Once you step in... you can't come back!"
Ren Jie nodded heavily and stuffed three needles of Red Sky Demonic Blood into his arms: "Thank you..."
Noyan grinned:
"One injection lasts about three minutes. Remember not to inject them together. Inject them in sequence, otherwise you will die~"
Qing didn't do anything, she just stepped forward and patted Ren Jie on the shoulder:
"Since it's something entrusted to you, I agree to do it myself..."
After saying such inexplicable words, Qing turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
Mo Wanrou, Shu Ge, Mei Qian and others looked at Ren Jie worriedly. Even Lu Chen was hiding in the tree from a distance and watching, frowning.
Seeing that Ren Jie was about to leave, Jiang Jiuli said quickly:
(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Remember... remember to come back? We have to complete the Stars Guild's commission together next week. We can't do it without you."
Ren Jie was startled, grinned at Jiang Jiuli, and put on his helmet visor.
"wait for me!"
After speaking, the throttle was turned wildly, and the rear wheel of the motorcycle drew a half circle on the spot, pulling out a stream of white smoke, carrying Ren Jie straight into the darkness and speeding away, with the target being the mountain city.
Shen Ci looked at Ren Jie's retreating figure, feeling even more anxious, and his hands and feet were sweating nervously.
He was not so nervous the day his wife gave birth to the baby.
Qing's voice suddenly echoed in Shen Ci's mind.
"You have to go through it. Strong people are not cultivated, but tempered!"
A wry smile appeared on Shen Ci's face:
"That's what I say, but it's all too early for Ren Jie..."
After adjusting his mentality, Shen Ci's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Don't relax, he has his things to do, and I have ours! Form the team and let's go!"
Ren Jie set off, but left the devastated Yunlu Mountain behind.
I saw that deep in Yunlu Mountain, the land with a radius of several kilometers had been razed to the ground, and even the mountains had been flattened. The earth was as pitted as the surface of the moon, and white smoke was even rising...
…
Ren Jie was riding a motorcycle and the candle demon suddenly appeared from the top of Ren Jie's helmet. The candle flame swayed in the wind and seemed to be the only light in the darkness.
Guagua lay on Ren Jie's shoulder and comforted him seriously:
"Don't be afraid, we can definitely rescue them, beat down all the bad guys, and do a great thing to eliminate harm for the people!"
"As long as I am here, Lord Guagua, I will never allow Twoleg's family to be harmed!"
“Thank you Gugua~”
"Hi~ Who among us is following whom? Best partners, okay?"
The treasure-stealing marten was also in Ren Jie's arms at the moment, stretching out its little paws to pat his chest, comforting him non-stop.
In the distance, Ren Jie had already seen the ruins of the mountain city.
The Old World City is not big and is in a state of complete ruin. The city is full of building debris, swaying here and there, and the walls are covered with moss and vines.
There were scrapped and rusted cars on both sides of the road. The base of the city was undulating, and huge rock slabs were lifted up, causing the buildings in the entire city to tilt and the entire city to be shattered.
The Old World City was eerily silent at night, and the roar of motorcycles echoed in the streets and alleys, like the roar of wild beasts.
Ren Jie turned the accelerator, and the motorcycle jumped over the broken bridge with the help of the scrapped car, landed smoothly, and continued deep into the mountain city.
The treasure-stealing ferret in Ren Jie's arms has disappeared, including the croak...
Ren Jie, who was riding a motorcycle on the street, said loudly:
"You asked me to come, and I'm here. Where is the person?"
His eyes glowed with aura, looking around at the surrounding environment.
At this moment, a sharp sound broke through the air, and a cold light flashed in the night sky.
Ren Jie's pupils shrank, he abandoned the car and activated Flame Flash, and ran out for dozens of meters.
The motorcycle was directly penetrated and exploded into a dazzling flame. Ren Jie, who landed on the ground, raised his head and looked up and to the left.
On the rooftop of a leaning building, a woman wearing a black suit, short hair, and a ghost mask was seen holding a needle as thin as a hair, looking at Ren Jie coldly.
Look at the logo on his mask, it's the Queen of Clubs.
"The engine of the broken car is so noisy, over here!"
Ren Jie squinted his eyes and couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his mouth as he looked at the burned motorcycle.
It seems that the car cannot be returned to Lao Siji...
Follow the plum blossom Q and come to a statue with a severed head in the city.
There was a bonfire burning below, and several old sofas and stone slabs had been moved over.
As for the poker game, more than thirty people gathered under the bonfire.
Some are playing poker, and some are grilling skewers and drinking beer.
And everyone was uniformly wearing black suits and masks.
There are four people from Team Q, four people from Team K, and a bunch of three, four, five, and some guys wearing blank masks.
These people are those who have not yet won a seat on the card.
Ren Jie looked around the audience, feeling a little chilled in his heart.
This number of people was much larger than expected. Among those empty cards, I could still see a few third-level ones.
For the rest of the people, Ren Jie couldn't see their levels clearly.
No need to ask, they are all fourth-level and fifth-level existences.
And that’s not necessarily all.
Among this group of people, there was also a middle-aged man wearing shorts, a vest, and slippers.
He was squatting in front of the stove, grilling skewers, holding a fan in one hand and a skewer in the other. The smoke coming out made him choke and narrow his eyes.
As for Xiao Wang's mask, he casually threw it aside on the stone slab.
No doubt, this is Xiao Wang...
Plum Blossom Q stepped forward and said respectfully: "Sir Xiao Wang, I've brought you here..."
At this moment, all the Poker members present looked up at Ren Jie, with sinister smiles on their faces and a fierce look in their eyes.
It can be said that the sheep has entered the wolf's den.
I saw Xiao Wang grinning:
"Hello~ Young man, I didn't expect you to be quite brave. You really came here alone, not bad~"
"Your actions... have saved their lives. As for whether you can take this person away, it depends on you..."
Ren Jie had a cold face, his eyes fixed on the diamond K, and then fell on Xiao Wang.
"I'm not very good. As promised, I arrived before three o'clock. I also brought the candle demon here for you. Where are you?"
Xiao Wang sneered:
"I saw you looking around as soon as you came over. Don't waste your efforts. He's not here..."
"As I said, whether you can take people away depends on your ability..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a scepter from his lower back.
This scepter is very strange. At the top is a woman's hand, which is snow-white and slender, and even painted with red nail polish.
And this is limited to the hands. Below the wrist is a dry and black forearm, like a mummy.
It didn't look like a scepter, but more like a forearm that had been torn off from someone's body along with the hand.
I saw the corner of Xiao Wang's mouth curved, and the echoing scepter waved forward.
"Always remember, there will be reverberations!"
"Echoing Barrier·Kai!"
As Xiao Wang waved his staff, the hand actually moved, and with a slight movement of his fingers, he made a snap.
Charming yet elegant.
The crisp sound of snapping fingers echoed throughout the venue, directly touching the soul.
"Boom!"
A huge glazed barrier suddenly took shape, even covering the entire ruins of the old city.
The area is horrifyingly large. The entire barrier is spherical in shape, cutting into pieces the tilted building, and even goes deep underground, completely isolating the world inside from the outside.
Ren Jie's face suddenly turned ugly...
The smile on Xiao Wang’s face became even brighter:
"Now...we can talk about my candle demon."
