Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 57 The Power of the Red Devil
Qingtian hunting place.

"I'm probably cursed. I'm obviously just a mid-level novice player, so why do I encounter super-level and monarch-level bosses?"

"Can't you show up with a pretty good rookie and let me show off?"

Xu Shen slumped facelessly on Lingling's desk, holding the drop of blood helplessly.

Lingling's face was expressionless, and her face tightened: "Get out of the way, don't disturb my homework."

"Oh, I almost forgot that your summer vacation is almost over. I think back then I was also a miraculous man with a pen, a lamp, and a night."

Xu Shen couldn't help but feel emotional as he watched Lingling's writing fly.

"Isn't Mr. Bao back yet? I'll be on tenterhooks with that thing on my body all day long."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will kick you out!"

Summer vacation is coming to an end, and Lingling is very irritable now.

"Okay, seriously, Lingling, help me find out what this thing is." Xu Shen threw the blood drop on the table.

Lingling's eyes narrowed: "Where did it come from?"

Although she had not yet practiced magic, the old hunter's intuition made her feel that this thing seemed to contain an extremely evil power.

Xu Shen shook his head: "I can't talk about the promises made under the Stone of Oath."

"Stone of Oath?!"

Lingling was shocked. That thing was more domineering than the oath tree of the Trial Council. No matter what the oath was made under the oath stone, once the oath was broken, the result would be the eternal fall of the soul, which was more cruel than death. No exceptions.

"Are you a pig? You dare to make a covenant in front of the Stone of Oath?!"

Lingling couldn't wait to take out this dog man's pig brain and wash it thoroughly.

Xu Shen was helpless, he didn't want to, but that guy Xion didn't trust him at all, and he didn't trust Xion either.

One is afraid of being reported and his family will be blamed, and the other is afraid of being dumped after finishing his work...ah, it's like burning down bridges and killing people and burying their bodies.

As a last resort, the two made an agreement under the Stone of Oath.

The general content is that Xu Shen and Ding Yumian must keep Xion's secret secret, not tell the blood race, and at the same time do their best to treat Isha.

If they are cured, the blood clan must pay Xu Shen a certain amount of reward as agreed, and must not add insult to injury by murdering Xu Shen and Ding Yumian in any way.

If the treatment fails, Ding Yumian will have to inherit the throne of the blood clan obediently. It would be nice for Xu Shen to be a prince.

The Stone of Oath is extremely precious. Throughout history, there have only been three or five pieces. Only wealthy people like the Vampire Clan with a long family history can get them.

A stone of oath can only be used three times. In addition to the agreement between Xiang and Xu Shen, this stone has been used twice. Although there is only one chance to use it, Xu Shen unceremoniously took it down and counted it as Consultation fee paid in advance.

"I will check it for you, but the reward..." Lingling rubbed her fingers familiarly.

"Lingling, what does our relationship have to do with each other? We still need money?!"

Lingling was expressionless and joking. She doesn't make any money by running a hunting station. Do you think she is doing charity?
"Okay, you can make a price." Xu Shen knew from Lingling's expression that this matter was not negotiable.

He couldn't help but start to think about whether to form his own force. After all, everything would be more convenient.

Then I thought about it, not only the hard work involved in building a force, but also the money spent in the initial stage was a bottomless pit...

Xu Shen shook his head and got rid of this unrealistic idea.

"The lower limit is 100 million, and the amount will increase depending on the difficulty of the investigation." The words spoken by Lingling's delicate and warm lips were so cold and ruthless.

"Deal", Xu Shen habitually high-fived the little white hand: "By the way, how are the spiritual seed fragments I asked you to buy two days ago?"

Qingtian Hunting Store has its own sales and purchase channels, and buying things from them is much cheaper than in the market.

Speaking of this, Lingling's eyes suddenly lit up: "I bought it a long time ago, please let Xiaobai out and let me play with it!"

The little lion is extremely cute and is loved by Lingling. She can't wait to stay with him while eating and sleeping.Whenever Xu Shen went to Qingtian Hunting House, he would take Lingling for a few free meals with him.

You know, the food of the little lion is not ordinary meat.Spirit seed fragments are very expensive, and only a rich woman like Lingling won't care about them.

You can eat and drink well just by sacrificing your appearance. Not only did Xu Shen find this deal worth it, but the little lion also enjoyed it.

Xu Shen joked: "You don't have to do your homework anymore?"

Lingling smiled disdainfully and threw her homework directly into her schoolbag.

Writing it is to give face to his teacher, but not writing it is just the personality of Mr. Lingling.

A figure suddenly appeared at the door. He leaned quietly against the door frame and looked at Lingling.

Lingling smiled coquettishly: "I finished the one I just finished, now I'm going to change to the next subject."

As she spoke, she took out another notebook from her schoolbag and sat back in her seat with a grimace.

"Let's go play." Leng Hunter King smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, will you come with me for a walk?"

"Long live Daddy!"

Lingling cheered and closed the book. This little girl had always been old-fashioned, and only in front of King Leng Hunter would she show the innocence of a twelve or thirteen year old.

"Brother Xu Shen, quickly, release Xiaobai!"

Xu Shen nodded with a smile.

Only at this time can you hear the word "brother" from Lingling.

In the backyard, a crescent-shaped dimensional rift gradually expanded, and the little lion appeared in the yard yawning.

Lingling heard the little lion's cry and ran out of the study.

"Uncle Leng, where are we going?"

Leng Hunter King walked into the room, picked up the drop of blood, looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Let's go, just find an alley and wander around."

The summer in Shanghai is extremely hot and muggy, and there are not many people in the alleys.

"Last winter, do you remember?"

Xu Shen was surprised. This was the first time that Leng Hunter King had talked about this topic. In the past, he and Old Man Bao had always remained silent.

"Of course I remember, it was probably February. Yumian disappeared. Lingling and I searched for it for a long time before we found it. Fortunately, Old Man Bao... the old man was here, so we were safe."

There was another thing he didn't say. It was also in that cold February that King Leng shed blood in the Huangpu River because of that strange commission. If Old Man Bao hadn't taken him to the Parthenon in time, it's unclear whether he would have survived.

Leng Hunter King nodded and said: "I just heard you make an oath in the yard, so I won't ask you any questions. Since you are involved in this matter, next, I say you listen."

Xu Shen was shocked, could this blood droplet be involved in the investigation of King Leng Hunter?

"About 20 years ago, a man came from Japan. At first, no one paid attention to him. He was just a stranger who escaped. There are too many such unknown people in the city.

As he committed more and more evil deeds, his methods became more and more heinous, finally arousing everyone's vigilance.At this time, he has become a person, and no one knows his true identity. He is like a cardinal of the Black Church, carefully hiding in secret and committing one crime after another. "

"A few years ago, I accepted a mysterious commission that asked me to get rid of this guy. This was also the first time I learned its name - the Red Devil."

"Red Devil?!" Xu Shen was puzzled.

Leng Hunter King nodded: "The Red Devil originates from the seven emotions and six desires of human beings. Any obsession, hatred and greed will contribute to the power of the Red Devil. It first appeared in Japan's Shuangshou Pavilion, and then it was like opening Pandora's box. In just twenty years, the Red Devil's The power is already terrifying and terrifying. Last winter was the closest I got to it, but unfortunately, I still failed in the end."

"That drop of blood has the power of the red devil."

In the sultry summer, Xu Shenru fell into an ice cave with one word from King Leng Hunter.

Even an experienced veteran hunter king like Leng Hunter was pecked in the eye, and a forbidden spell mage like Old Man Bao kept silent about the incident, so he was dragged into it so coldly?
