As Cui Yingxiong said, although asking Gu Yuan to go over in person to provide support is indeed not a big deal, it's just that there are not enough manpower now.
Especially now that the second team of the Demon Suppression Division, captain Tang Keqing has gone to support other places, but Xia Youzhi's return has given them a little breather.
Although Xia Youzhi has not been in the Demon Suppression Division for a long time, he is Fu Canglan's proud disciple after all, and his fighting ability is still very good. Unless he encounters that kind of particularly powerful demon, but if he does, no one else will. The only way is to decisively seek support.
Originally, Xia Youzhi could rest for a day. After all, like Gu Yuan, she had been missing for a long time. But when she saw that Gu Yuan was very busy, she immediately realized that now was definitely not the time to rest.
Seeing that Gu Yuan was busy and couldn't even return home, she didn't persuade him not to be too tired. She just chose to return to the second team immediately and do what she should do.
In her heart, she was still a little happy. She was glad that she had now become a member of the Demon Suppression Division. Otherwise, she could only watch Gu Yuan focus on work while she could only ask for help.
but now.
You can help yourself!
…
This time, it was Chen Ling, the formation master, who found traces of a magic demon.
In the past few days, Chen Ling and the rest of the second team have been searching for the B-level magic demon. The magic demon appeared about two weeks ago. I don’t know where it came from, but it has already appeared. One person died and another was seriously injured.
About three days ago, they found the magic demon, but Cui Yingxiong was unable to rush over in time. Instead, Mai Wenbin was seriously injured and allowed the other party to escape.
The remaining people were at their wits' end.
So this time, when the traces of the magic demon were found again, Chen Ling was not in a hurry to take action. Even if Xia Youzhi had returned to the team, she did not feel that she had the ability to completely capture the magic demon.
Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Ling definitely didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the other party. Anyway, now they had searched for traces of the magic demon, but the other party was still unaware of it.
The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light.
Next, whether it's Gu Yuan or Cui Yingxiong, isn't it just a joke to deal with the magic demon?
"Sister Chen, tell me, will it be Cui Xingjun or Master Gu who is coming later?" The person who spoke was a new member who was also a new member of the Demon Suppression Division. His name was Cao Chao, who was also a student of the Star City Martial Arts Academy and had good abilities.
Chen Ling thought about it and said, "It should be Cui Xingjun."
She felt that, after all, Gu Yuan was the sword holder of Star City, so it would be more appropriate to sit in the office. Moreover, Gu Yuan had just come back and needed some time to rest.
She had heard that Gu Yuan experienced a great battle at sea, and even the Shark King of the Shark Tribe was defeated.
You have to take some rest first, right?
Cao Chao joked: "Sister Chen, tell me, who is more powerful, Master Gu or Cui Xingjun?"
Chen Ling frowned and said: "Don't think about whether these are some or not. Whether it is Cui Xingjun or Master Gu, they are both first-class masters. They are better than us anyway."
Cao Chao's expression was a little embarrassed.
In fact, Chen Ling's character is quite good, but she has never really liked this young man named Cao Chao.
The main reason is that although Cao Zhen has good strength, he is relatively timid. If he hadn't slipped up before, Mai Wenbin would not have been seriously injured.
Although it is said that newcomers who have just joined the Demon Suppression Division will be more or less panicked when they face the demon for the first time, Cao Zhen is obviously a C-level master, but he shows excessive timidity.
When facing a demon directly, he may even turn pale and not know what to do. His mind is just confused.
If it weren't for the current severe shortage of manpower, it would be absolutely impossible for such a person to join the Demon Suppression Division.
Thinking about it from another angle, if it weren't for Cao Chao's character, he would have stayed in Northern Xinjiang instead of rushing back and waiting to join the Demon Suppression Division.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling sighed helplessly.
Xia Youzhi just listened to their exchange quietly without saying a word.
But at this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up and her face became solemn: "That guy is out."
Following her gaze, about a hundred meters ahead, there was an ordinary-looking room.
This is already the outskirts of Star City. The surrounding area is very desolate, with a few sparse houses and a large factory behind it.
This was originally a small village, but it was later demolished and there were not many houses left.
The large yard they are staring at now is overgrown with weeds and has been deserted for who knows how many years. Houses like this are not uncommon now. With the development of the economy, more and more people choose to move into the city. Many people choose to move into the city. There are not many households in the whole village and town.
This leads to the fact that houses in rural areas are becoming less and less valuable. It would be best if they can be sold, but forget it if they cannot be sold. If they are left there, they may fall back to their roots when they grow old.
Who would have thought that such a house would become the home of a B-level monster.
"Damn it...did it find us?" Chen Ling cursed, then shrank down, trying to hide better.
If they are really discovered, they can only do something big.
This time, Chen Ling was able to find traces of it with the help of some luck. If it really allowed the other party to escape, it would not be that simple to find it next time.
What's even worse is that no one knows whether this guy will cause more casualties after running away.
"It probably didn't find us, but it seems to be leaving." Xia Youzhi said.
"Is it going to be hunting again?" Chen Ling looked a little solemn.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and became furious when she saw Cao Chao.
She and Xia Youzhi, the two girls, are still observing the situation, but Cao Chao, a tall man of 1.85 meters, is now clinging to the broken wall, even pulling his clothes tight, for fear of being seen by the other party. Clothes corner.
She simply couldn't understand why such a person would join the Demon Suppression Division.
Do you think it would be cool to be a member of the Demon Suppression Division?
"Cao Chao, what are you doing?" Chen Ling lowered her voice and said.
"I, I... I'm afraid of being discovered." Cao Chao said quickly, "Sister Chen, Sister Xia, stop standing there. Wherever it goes, we can just follow it. If it finds it... then it What should I do if I run away?”
Chen Ling sneered.
Cao Chao's current behavior does not look like he is afraid that the other party will run away.
I'm just afraid of being discovered.
She kicked Cao Chao and then looked at Xia Youzhi.
"We have to follow up and take a look."
"Well!" Xia Youzhi took a deep breath, his eyes sharp.
