MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 87 [087] Hunting fish demon
Chapter 87 [087] Hunting Fish Demon
Although the rain is much weaker than the previous days, it is still dangerous to go into the water at this time.
In addition to the hidden monsters in the Dragon King River, the rain may suddenly intensify at any time, and it is impossible to prevent it.
For Ning Xiu's idea of going into the water at this time, the fishermen are not quite able to accept it, it is too dangerous.
"You listen to me and do as I say, and try to solve the problem of the Dragon King River as soon as possible. Everyone can worry about it." Ning Xiu immediately explained everything he needed.
The fishermen are concerned about whether they can fish, so naturally they will not refuse. Ning Xiu will do whatever he needs. The efficiency is extremely high.
Since you want to go into the water, it is not a simple inspection. It is best to directly attract the harmful monsters from the Dragon King River once and for all.
One live pig, three live chickens, three live ducks, together with pig blood…
Soon, all the things Ning Xiu needed were brought by the fishermen and loaded onto a fishing boat prepared for him to launch. We're on board, do you need anything else?"
"It's alright, wait for my good news." Ning Xiu took the Bawang aboard and immediately shook the pole at the stern and started heading towards the center of the Longwang River.
This section of the Longwang River is about seventy or eighty feet wide. As Ning Xiu led the boats away, the fishermen standing at the ferry soon lost sight of the fishing boats in the rain.
"Buddha bless this adult not to have an accident and come back safely."
"We must solve the problem of monsters, otherwise we really won't be able to live without fishing."
…
In the misty rain, Ning Xiu quickly drove the boat to the center of the Dragon King River, where the water was rushing, and it was thanks to the fishermen who provided Ning Xiu that the boat was heavy and stable enough, otherwise it would have been impossible to sail on the river. Central work.
Controlling Bawang to drop the anchor and fix the hull body. Ning Xiu immediately picked up the pig blood provided by the fishermen and dumped it on the river. At the same time, he used a fishing net to cover a big fat live pig and threw it into the water.
The crimson blood mixed with the blue water surface, and soon gained the upper hand, spreading out in all directions, and a **** smell wafted in the air.
The live pig that fell into the water struggled frantically, feeling extremely terrified of the situation he was in. Ning Xiu held the fishing net with both hands, so that it could neither sink nor climb up.
At the same time, ignoring the wailing of the live pig, he carefully scanned every inch of the water.
If you want to attract monsters, the most direct method is to throw a bait. A live pig in blood water should be a good bait.
The rain was heavy and there was little movement.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, from the drizzle before to the torrential rain, you can't even see a few feet away.
Ning Xiu stood beside the fishing boat wearing a bucket hat, looking at the water with a complicated expression in silence.
It has been two days, the live pig has been soaked in the water by Ning Xiu and is dying. It is estimated that it will not last for today, and the rest of the live chickens and ducks, Ning Xiu, are also immersed in the water just like throwing live pigs.
But even so, I haven't noticed any unexpected movement for two days, the water is quite calm, and I haven't even seen a single fish.
Ning Xiu couldn’t bear to think about such a scene. Could it be that the monsters that appeared in the Dragon King River were not ordinary monsters, but those born with a sense of intelligence and alertness?
If this is the case, it will be more difficult to lure him out.
Just when Ning Xiu was about to lift the dying live pig up so that it could breathe for a while longer, a live duck floating on the water suddenly screamed violently, and at the same time spread its wings, struggling very hard. is vigorous.
Ning Xiu immediately looked at it, and saw the live duck trembling, and in the blink of an eye, only one duck's head was left floating on the water, and its body was missing.
The other live chickens and ducks seemed to sense the crisis, and they couldn't help but flutter their wings and slid around, trying to escape from this place.
But Ning Xiu's fishing net covered them firmly, and there was no chance of escape at all.
Soon, another live chicken lost his life, only a chicken head and a lot of chicken feathers on the water.
The monster is coming!
After waiting for so long, the target finally appeared, and Ning Xiu couldn't help showing a smile: "Finally hooked!"
In this way, the live pig in his hand no longer needs to be lifted up to pant, and he let go directly, sinking the struggling live pig back into the water, ready to hang the 'big fish' of the Dragon King River.
"Lululu!"
Everything has spirit, and the live pig felt that there was a huge danger in the water. Even when he was dying, he still waved his trotters in the water, trying to escape from the black hand.
But Ning Xiu didn't pull the net, it didn't have any chance of survival at all, the two pigs' eyes were quite huge, and they were terrified.
At this moment, a faint shadow appeared under the live pig. Ning Xiu quickly lifted it up with force, using the fishing net as a fishing rod, and instantly burst out with all his strength, pulling the whole live pig up from the water.
And behind the live pig, there was also a huge figure that followed the water and bit the live pig with its huge mouth open.
Through the light of the sky, Ning Xiu was finally able to see the true face of this monster, only to see that the other party was like a big fish, two or three meters long, and his whole body was covered with triangle-shaped scales, and a huge mouth fully occupied it. one-third of the head.
The mouth is full of fangs, and three purple tongues are ejected like frogs. What is even more terrifying is that there are two strange four-fingered claws like a dragon on the abdomen of this fish monster.
Once the water is broken, the goal of the fish demon is to go towards the live pig, intending to swallow it in one bite and then return to the water.
How could Ning Xiu give it this opportunity, control the overlord to throw the thunderbolt hammer and grab it, jump out of the fishing boat directly, hold the thunderbolt hammer high, and smash it towards the fish demon.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Dengfeng's five layers of strength then erupted, and the moment the fish demon's cheek was hit by the thunder hammer, the entire area sank directly, and the bones burst open. Even though its body looks huge and hideous, it is obviously not Ning Xiu's. opponent.
The pained fish demon fell into the river and wanted to escape with a swipe of its tail. Seeing this, Ning Xiu grabbed the tail fin of the fish demon and was ready to make another hammer and kill it directly to avoid future troubles.
But at this moment, the surface of the Thunder Hammer that was lifted by Ning Xiu suddenly disappeared in a flash, and there was a sudden explosion of thunder in the sky, and then a purple lightning fell like a divine sword, just hitting the fish demon. 's head.
The fish demon who wanted to escape was instantly scorched black and twitched, the smell overflowed, and he floated sideways on the river and was completely dead.
【Kill monsters, get general proficiency +1000】
Listening to the prompt from the proficiency panel, Ning Xiu, who was standing on the fish demon, looked quite surprised.
He didn't understand what just happened, because it wasn't the means he possessed. Seeing the thunder hammer that had returned to its normal appearance without any movement, Ning Xiu reached out and stroked it.
is normal, nothing weird.
"The Thunder Hammer didn't do this before, attracting Thunder... Isn't this the ability to double-merge after gathering the Purple Hammer?" Ning Xiu frowned and looked around.
Could it be that the Purple Hammer is nearby?
During the heavy rain, the Dragon King River could not see anything at all, so Ning Xiu had no choice but to put the fish demon's body on the fishing boat and prepare to transport it back to the ferry.
When the fish demon's body was placed on the fishing boat, the waterline of the entire boat dropped by more than two feet, and even the hull made a rattling sound.
Afraid that the boat would not be able to support the weight of the fish demon, Ning Xiu hurriedly controlled the overlord to row the fishing boat and hurried towards the river.
…
I don’t know how many days it has rained continuously, and Qiantang City is wet and muddy, and some wet places even have large moss.
It is impossible to go out to fish, so the fishermen can only gather in the ferry to drink tea and chat to pass the day.
"The Master Fu Mowei has been out for two days, and he has not been seen yet. Could it be an accident?"
"If there is even an accident with the Demon Commander, we will never even think about fishing in the Dragon King River. Everyone has to change their careers, or they will starve to death sooner or later."
"Alas, in this world, what can I do?"
Just as the fishermen were chatting, a shadow suddenly appeared at the ferry port, followed by a fishing boat carrying a behemoth slammed into the port wall, and there was a loud noise.
When the fishermen heard the movement, they turned their heads to look, and immediately recognized that the fishing boat was the one that Ning Xiu was on.
"It's that Master Fu Mowei is back!"
"My dear, what is that thing on his boat."
"Too big, too big."
The fishermen rushed out of the grass hut to cover the rain and came to the ferry port to look at the corpse of the fish demon on the boat.
With a close look, people can feel how huge this fish monster is. If anyone encounters a living one in the water, it is designated as ten dead.
"Everyone, although I killed a fish demon today, I'm not sure whether there is only such a fish in the Dragon King River. I still have to wait and see for the specific situation. I will come to the ferry tomorrow, and I hope everyone will prepare another boat for me. And the corresponding pigs, chickens and ducks." Ning Xiu jumped off the fishing boat and said to the crowd of fishermen who gathered.
"Sir, you've worked hard."
"Sir, leave it to us next. If there are still fish demons, we will go to you for help."
"Sir, drink a bowl of **** tea to warm your body."
Facing the enthusiasm of the fishermen, Ning Xiu waved his hand and said, "No, these are all my duties, it's raining heavily outside, everyone, go back and rest, the corpse of this fish demon will be put here first. I'll find someone to deal with it at some point."
After negotiating with many fishermen, Ning Xiu left the ferry with Bawang.
The Thunder Hammer suddenly appeared with abilities that it shouldn't have, which made him quite concerned. Su Qianqian had said before that when the Thunder Hammer and the Purple Electric Hammer were close together, they would be able to play the true power of the pair of weapons. the power of.
When you swing it, you can call the thunder to roar, and call the lightning to come.
Isn’t this just how the Thunder Hammer behaved? Could it be that the Purple Electric Hammer is really near the Dragon King River?
Ning Xiu had to investigate this point. If he could retrieve the Purple Electric Hammer, Ning Xiu's strength would definitely skyrocket.
Back at the inn, Ning Xiu felt a depressing aura as soon as he walked into the door. The twenty or so iron horse demon captains sat silently in the lobby, not knowing what was going on.
On one of the tables, Qin Zhenzheng, the Bronze Leopard Subduing Demon Commander, was sitting at the table with the other two Bronze Panther Subduing Demon Commanders, with a very serious expression, so dignified that it felt like water could drip.
"Did something happen?" Ning Xiu asked as he walked to the table and sat down.
"It's Captain Ning who's back." Qin Zhen showed a wry smile: "This morning, the four iron horse Fumowei, who were arranged by Team Leader Zheng and Team Leader Jia to search in Qiantang City, have disappeared mysteriously. How can I find them now? Couldn't find it."
"Is there a Demon Commander missing?" Ning Xiu Dun was surprised.
You must know that Qiantang City is the territory of big merchants, and it is still the capital of Baisha Prefecture. If Fu Mowei could disappear in such a place, it must have encountered an irresistible factor.
To put it bluntly, it means that something unexpected happened. Over the years, whenever something happened to the Demon Commander, he has never been able to escape from the evil demon.
"Our team came to Qiantang City this time to investigate the presence of monsters here. Right now, it seems that the purpose of those monsters in Qiantang City is not simple. Even the Demon Commander dared to do it. I think there should be some people here. What makes them want to get something." Zheng Yong, the leader of the Zheng team, said aloud.
"Where did the demon subduing captains go missing? Is there a conclusion now?" Ning Xiu asked.
Qin Zhendao: "In the area east of Qinglong Street in Qiantang City, the intelligence said that monsters have also appeared in that area, but the area is too large. We have notified the city guard to send soldiers to assist in the search, hoping to find any clues. Bar."
It was the water ghost that injured the Demon Commander, the Demon Commander went missing, and the common people secretly learned the magic tricks taught by the monsters. The current situation in Qiantang City is really complicated.
However, Ning Xiu's task at hand has not been completely solved, but there is no way to help this Bronze Leopard team.
I can only hope to find the traces of the four missing Demon Commanders as soon as possible. I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death.
Early morning the next day.
Ning Xiu hurriedly went out and came to the ferry port again. Yesterday, he had informed the city guard and asked him to send someone to transport the corpse of the fish demon at the ferry port.
When Ning Xiu appeared at the ferry port, fishermen who got up early gathered to tell him that the fishing boat was ready again and could be launched at any time.
After seeing the corpse of the fish demon yesterday, every fisherman now has incomparable trust in Ning Xiu. Everyone believes that this Demon Demon Captain should be able to completely solve the problem of the Dragon King River, so that they can restore stability. fishing life.
Ning Xiu didn't talk nonsense. After getting on the boat, he directly rowed the fishing boat to the middle of the river, preparing to repeat the practice of that day to see if he could attract any more monsters that might be hidden under the river.
When the fishing boat came to the middle of the river, Ning Xiu threw the live pig into the water again, and let Bawang grab the fishing net, while he sat on the deck and began to wait quietly.
However, a few hours later, the surface of the river suddenly changed.
On the river surface, where it was raining and unable to see the distant scenery, a large white fog began to appear.
These white mists changed from less to more, and soon covered the entire river surface, making Ning Xiu unable to see anything at first glance, only a sea of fog that stretched for miles.
"Huh?" Ning Xiu brought the thunderbolt hammer from Bawang's body. Suddenly, there must be a monster. It seems that with his arrival, he seems to have led to a 'big fish'.
Cuckoo!
A lot of air bubbles appeared on the water surface, and then a pale arm stretched out from under the water surface and grabbed the surface of the fishing boat with force.
Immediately afterwards, the whole body of the arm crawled out, but it was a woman with long hair reaching her waist and her body was wet. She was like a wooden puppet, climbing up in a posture of 90 degrees of joints. At the same time, there was a numbing clicking sound in the body.
Under Ning Xiu's gaze, a woman's head immediately emerged from the outside of the ship's rail, and two black holes that had lost their eyeballs were staring at Ning Xiu.
In an instant, the woman moved, she pressed on the boat rail at a very fast speed, and the moment the boat rail snapped, the woman rushed towards Ning Xiu, each of her hands stretched out sharp claws.
boom!
However, what greeted her was a thunder hammer. With the explosion of Dengfeng's five layers of strength, the woman's head broke off her neck in an instant, flew high, and finally fell on the surface of the river more than ten meters away.
But even without the head, the woman's body was still twisting violently, waving her arms trying to cause even a little damage to Ning Xiu.
Ning Xiu directly transferred his inner strength to his palm, the red inner strength turned into flames, and he directly grabbed the woman's body and burned it into charcoal.
[Kill the evil spirits, gain general proficiency +500]
It was different from the last time. This time, an evil spirit took the initiative to attack him, which made Ning Xiu a little unpredictable, but before he could think about it, a lot of blisters appeared on the water next to the fishing boat.
A group of men and women whose bodies had been soaked to the point of being white and swollen poured out from the bottom of the water and climbed up along the hull of the boat. These people, men and women, young and old, had ashen expressions, and they knew they had been dead for a long time.
When they emerged around the rail of the ship and came around from all directions, Ning Xiu even raised the thunderbolt and slammed it on the deck. The internal flame burst out instantly, and the gushing out caught every water ghost into it, burning it. to a complete loss of power.
[Kill the evil spirits, gain general proficiency +200]
[Kill the evil spirits, gain general proficiency +500]
[Kill the evil spirits, gain general proficiency +800]
…
A large number of beeps sounded one after another, confirming the complete elimination of every water ghost, but as there were too many water ghosts clinging to the surface of the fishing boat and climbing up one after another, the fishing boat was already on the verge of collapse and could not last long. .
Ning Xiu glanced around, and immediately used the Shenqi blood oven, the whole person was hot, and soon the water ghosts who were planning to approach him opened their mouths and let out a roar of fear.
At this moment, Ning Xiu raised the thunderbolt hammer, but he slammed down the ship with all his strength.
Dengfeng Five Strength!
The whole fishing boat couldn't bear Ning Xiu's attack at all, and it exploded to pieces in an instant.
Ning Xiu also lost his support and fell directly into the Dragon King River, sinking quickly towards the bottom of the river.
