Chapter 40 My Hand Was a Little Unlucky Today
"What the hell do you mean... damn it!"
Yu Xun focused on wiping the sticky substance off the soles of his feet.
Hearing Chi Le's reminder, he finally raised his head.
quack!
Yu Xun looked up and saw a huge six-legged toad tilting its head and looking at him.
quack!
Another strange cry rang out, which served as a greeting to Yu Xun.
The toad's enormous mouth split open, and a fleshy tongue emitting a strange smell shot out.
Like an arrow released from a bow, it pierced straight into his chest.
Fortunately, Chi Le reminded him that Yu Xun saw the six-legged toad first, which gave him time to react and dodge the toad's attack.
Looking at the large crater that had been blown open in the muddy ground, Yu Xun wiped the few specks of mud that had splashed onto his face and secretly rejoiced.
If I had been fiddling with my shoes, I wouldn't have noticed the toad about to flick its tongue at me.
If you take this hit head-on without any warning, you'll probably be kneeling on the spot.
"Thank you!"
Yu Xun thanked Chi Le, his hand already reaching for the scabbard at his waist.
Clang!
The broad-bladed fish-killing knife was drawn from its sheath, and the clear, resonant sound immediately revealed its extraordinary nature.
The six-legged toad, its tongue covered in mud, retracted after seeing the knife in Yu Xun's hand.
All six legs moved in unison, and the buttocks involuntarily shifted backward.
Even if it has no brain and almost no consciousness, its behavior is driven entirely by the instinct to prey on others.
But this knife, which looks like an ordinary short knife used by fishermen to kill fish, filled it with a sense of disgust and made it want to stay away.
He noticed that the six-legged toad was clearly wary of the short knife in his hand.
Yu Xun stomped his foot hard and lunged forward.
The broad-bladed dagger sliced through the mist, cutting from the toad's left neck down to its lower right abdomen.
puff!
All the organs, big and small, still steaming hot, fell out with a whoosh.
It fell directly onto the muddy ground filled with sewage.
Blood gushed out along with the falling organs, creating large splashes on the muddy water.
As blood washed into the sewage, the swamp appeared even darker.
In no time, Yu Xun also swiftly eliminated the other two six-legged toads that appeared alongside him.
With this fish-killing knife specifically designed to target aquatic demons,
For Yu Xun, chopping down a six-legged toad that was merely below the level of cultivation was no different than cutting melons and vegetables.
"for you."
Yu Xun flicked the fish-killing knife in his hand.
After shaking off the blood, he handed it to Chi Le.
After parting ways with Huang Yong, Ah Le mentioned it to him.
When he encounters a toad that he can easily handle, he should try to leave it alive and not kill it outright.
Then hand it over to him to deliver the final blow.
Yu Xun couldn't figure out what Chi Le's intention was in doing this, but that didn't stop him from following what Chi Le said.
Leave these six-legged toads to catch their last breath, then hand the knife to Chi Le.
Taking the knife, Chi Le stepped forward.
Having learned from his first experience, this time Chi Le aimed directly at the area below the toad's lower jaw.
The knife pierced smoothly, and as it was pulled out, a notification message from Qingshan Temple popped up at the opportune moment.
[Successfully defeated the unranked demon, the Six-Legged Toad, and obtained the Six-Legged Toad's damaged molt.]
[Successfully defeated the unranked demon - Six-Legged Toad, obtained 1 Ghost Core]
After successfully killing the three-headed, six-legged toad, Chi Le returned the knife to Yu Xun.
After cleaning the short knife, Yu Xun walked up to the corpse of the three-headed, six-legged toad and reached out to feel for something.
"Strange, what bad luck today? Not a single strange artifact has dropped?"
"Could it be because I'm in an area where the eerie mist merges, so killing monsters doesn't drop anything?"
Yu Xun muttered to himself as he got up from the ground in a voice only he could hear.
Whether it was the four-headed, six-legged toad we encountered at the beginning, or the three-headed, six-legged toad lying down now.
Yu Xun failed to obtain a single bizarre creation.
Normally, one of them would have fallen off, right?
Yu Xun scratched the back of his head, looked at his hands in confusion, and then at the demon corpse on the ground.
"When I get home tonight, I'll take some pomelo leaves to bathe in."
Chi Le, who was the instigator of everything, looked as if nothing had happened and spoke to Yu Xun.
"Right there, I heard someone shouting for help."
Chi Le pointed in a direction, and Yu Xun looked up.
"Indeed, let's go!"
……
Meanwhile, personnel from the Jiangcheng Special Operations Bureau entered Changxing Street from various directions after the invasion of the mysterious fog.
The outer perimeter of the mysterious fusion zone.
"Old Huang, thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Guiren, who had just arrived, greeted Huang Yong.
"It was really tough. I'll have to ask my superiors for another leave when I get back."
Huang Yong followed up on what his colleague had said, replying cheerfully.
"You're getting a free ride and then acting innocent! You just went out for a stroll during your vacation and got such a huge reward for nothing, and you're still pretending to be stupid!"
A colleague jokingly scolded Huang Yong, pointing to the crowd behind him whose faces still showed some fear.
Huang Yong did not refute it.
The regulations of the Special Administrative Region of Daxia include provisions for prioritizing the protection of ordinary citizens.
As long as you encounter ordinary people from Great Xia in the bizarre world or the bizarre fusion area.
The special operations officers must do their best to protect ordinary citizens.
Of course, the Special Operations Bureau offers very generous rewards for such behavior.
Given Huang Yong's current situation, doubling his year-end bonus, doubling his vacation time, and adding a few advanced awards to his resume are not a problem at all.
Considering his previous achievements, the higher-ups might even approve a mysterious relic for him.
"No, half of this was brought by Second Brother Yu. He gets half of the credit. How could I possibly get so much?"
Huang Yong was unusually modest.
"Second Brother Yu? Oh...you mean Captain Yu's younger brother, Yu Xun, right?"
"That's the kid."
"What, he got involved too?"
Huang Yong nodded and said.
"Yeah, he said his situation was similar to mine. We were eating barbecue and drinking, and before we knew it, we were here."
"Where is he?"
The colleague who was eliminated craned his neck, looking around, searching for Yu Xun's figure.
"Don't bother looking, they've already gone deep inside."
"What did you say?!"
The colleague was stunned.
"What's he doing going into the depths all by himself, a complete newbie who hasn't even reached the next level?"
"This time, the strange fog invaded the entire Changxing Street and most of Dong'an Street."
"This means that there is a high probability that second-tier demonic creatures or evil spirits exist in this area!"
"Old Huang, didn't you tell him?"
When faced with a barrage of words from colleagues, it was like a firecracker going off.
Huang Yong listened patiently and then offered his corrections.
"First of all, he wasn't alone; he was accompanied by a tall, thin young man."
"I sensed that he had no extraordinary abilities; he was just an ordinary person."
"Secondly, I told him that there might be second-tier demons in the deepest part."
"They also said they wouldn't go into the deepest part; they'd just walk around on the outside."
"I guess they wanted to save more people, and also satisfy their curiosity."
"That's how it is for newcomers."
"If my whole family weren't here, I'd love to go in and earn more credit. There's a strange relic I've had my eye on for a long time!"
Huang Yong spread his hands and continued.
"Besides, didn't you just say that Captain Yu has already gone to the deepest part?"
"Given his strength, this strange fusion area will probably disintegrate very soon."
