Chapter 196: Demon-killing Order, Talented Person
The corpse of the ancient alien species - "Jiu Legs" was still there, and its purple blood covered the ground, emitting an indescribable stench.
After several attempts, the dream extraction technique failed. This was normal. Even to this day, Li Changxiao's dream extraction technique was not 100% successful, and the probability of success and failure would fluctuate with the change of the object of the technique.
He tried several more times and finally succeeded. Pictures appeared in his mind, but they were not important information. He did not get much about the changes of monsters, but he understood more and more about the origin of this "Nine-legged Child".
In short, it is an alien species born from the ancient beasts and the local demons of Fuyao Tianxia. It has the ability to spread hallucinogenic poisonous gas. This ability does not require spiritual energy. It is just like a poisonous snake spraying venom or a bird flying in the sky. It is an innate instinct of all living things.
After coming out of the dream extraction technique, Li Changxiao let out a leisurely sigh. In terms of physical strength alone, God was really biased. Of course, he was just sighing casually. The human race also had its own unique advantages, but as an individual, it was difficult to compare with other races.
Coming to the room full of human skins, Li Changxiao used the dream-drawing technique again.
Various images reappeared in his mind. He saw the six-meter-long black centipede, coiled under the roof, using its sharp claws to pierce the human fontanelle and suck greedily. The human wailed in pain, but could not be stopped. Finally, it gradually shrivelled up, leaving only a skin bag.
period.
Li Changxiao noticed that when "Jiutui'er" was sucking, a strange energy faintly emanated from his body. This energy was very similar to the strange power attached to the person who was chopping at him with a kitchen knife.
......
The next day.
early morning.
The breeze is blowing and the season is just right.
Under a big tree, a young man stretched comfortably, yawned, and felt full of energy. It had been a long time since he had such a comfortable sleep.
He also had an extremely sweet dream. In the dream, he was surrounded by beauties, living a carefree life, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and was extremely happy. Logically, after having such a wonderful dream, he should have felt lost when he woke up, but he did not.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a swordsman in white, looking at him with a smile.
He soon came to his senses, secretly afraid. When he recalled what happened last night, many doubts arose in his mind. Then he immediately thought of something and reached into the dark seam in his clothes. When he found the heavy silver still on his body, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man was a very outgoing person, and after a few interactions, he became familiar with the swordsman. In his opinion, although the swordsman was mysterious, he was easy-going and would not harm him. If he wanted to harm him, he would be unable to resist.
When he asked about what happened last night, Li Changxiao only said the two words "there is a monster" and didn't say much else. However, according to the young man's guess, the monster was probably killed by the other party's sword. The young man was active in thinking, his eyes rolling around, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Changxiao was about to leave. Before leaving, he smiled and advised the young man to keep a low profile when he was out. There were always some violent people in the world who could not tolerate the slightest grievance and liked to kill people. It would be troublesome if you messed with them.
Li Changxiao turned and left, leaving only his back, but he never expected that after he had walked several miles away, the young man would actually take the initiative to catch up with him.
This time, the boy's attitude was completely different. He first bowed and performed a street salute, and then changed the title to "hero".
Wait for him to explain in detail.
Only then did Li Changxiao realize that the young man was the famous thief "Yan Shiliu" in the Chi Tian Dynasty.
He specialized in stealing gold, silver and jewelry from wealthy families, and his escape skills were extremely impressive, so he could easily climb over eaves and walls. He had already seen this before.
There must be a reason for stealing so much treasure.
He was accumulating wealth and wanted to issue an exorcism order, calling on talented people from all over the world to hold a demon-killing conference.
I want to eradicate the weirdness in my hometown.
When he saw this swordsman, he found that his origins were mysterious, his martial arts skills were as good as his own, and he seemed to have good character as well. He thought of inviting him to join the demon-killing conference.
Yan Shiliu patted his chest and guaranteed that the reward would definitely not be less.

But Yan had been stealing for sixteen years and had accumulated a lot of money. He hid his identity, came to a big city, and walked into an inconspicuous alley.
The alley was not long and the road was narrow, with neat houses on both sides. He walked fifteen steps into the alley and quickly turned into the house on the right. A thin man was sitting in the house with a gleam in his eyes.
As the saying goes, it is hidden in the city.
The most powerful intelligence organization in the Chitian Dynasty, "Feng Xun Pavilion", has its lowest-level base, which is usually hidden in such secret alleys.
Only those who know the business know it.
Yan Shiliu took out a silver coin and told the thin man sitting in the middle that he was going to issue an order to exorcise demons!
The internal operation of Fengxun Pavilion is such that news spreads from one person to ten people and then to a hundred people.
The circle was not that big, and the demon-killing order issued by Yan Shiliu was soon accepted by many strange people.
Demon-killing location: Yanjia Village.
Yanjia Village is a remote place.
It is a sparsely populated place and requires crossing bad water and passing through remote mountains. Surrounded by mountains, it is difficult for outsiders to find the way without the guidance of someone who knows the way.
Therefore, although the location of the demon-killing mission is in Yanjia Village, the various martial artists who received the demon-killing mission must first meet at an inn in a remote town. After everyone is gathered, Yan Shiliu, the initiator of the demon-killing mission, will lead the way to kill the demon.
Yan Shiliu prepared the Demon-Exorcising Order in a hurry, which took him more than half a month. He left the first helper he recruited, Li Changxiao, in the inn and ignored him.
Li Changxiao had plenty of time, so naturally he wouldn't say anything. Besides, he was actually very interested in the Jianghu Demon-Extermination Order.
Because in recent decades, strange things have happened one after another, and the world of martial arts is like pouring colored ink into clear soup, instantly dyed colorful.
Wonderful is naturally wonderful.
But the chaos is getting worse, so orders like the "Demon Exorcism Order" came into being, calling on the world's extraordinary people to help solve problems and use money to eliminate disasters.
Li Changxiao was very curious.
This mortal world is rising up.
To what extent have we been affected by the monks' reforms?
Maybe...it’s not the monks’ reform, it should be called the human race’s reform.
Therefore.
He was extremely looking forward to this demon-killing order. The key was that it would make money quickly. Yan Shiliu promised him that if the matter was resolved, he would at least get ten taels of silver even if he didn't have to contribute.
time flies.
This inn is located in a remote area, but there are actually quite a few wanderers coming and going.
Li Changxiao always sat on a chair in the corner, ordered a plate of fennel beans and a jar of rice wine, and quietly observed the arrival of the wanderers.
Although the Exorcist Order has been issued, wandering wanderers without any skills or background are not qualified to accept it. After all, the cost of issuing the Exorcist Order is not small. If it attracts some rotten fish and shrimp, it will not be of much significance.
Therefore, most of the people coming and going in the world just happened to pass by here.
Compared to other martial artists, Li Changxiao's way of drinking is not really heroic, but rather delicate. He pours the wine into the thick-bottomed cup carefully, fearing that the wine will splash out.
He drank a sip of wine with two fennel beans. His small treasury was running low recently, so he didn't order any meat.
As time passed, talented people who took on the order to eliminate demons gradually met here.
Li Changxiao couldn't help but sigh.
The world has changed so much.
He saw Taoist priests, magic refiners, swordsmen, and poison masters...
