Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1525 1497. Meeting
Ah Xiu, who was pulled down from [Muddy Stream·Destruction] by Lan En by the scruff of the neck, fell several times on the ground along the way.

Finally, there was a "swish" sound, and the body covered with sharp demonic keratin rubbed violently against the ground.

“Ah! Ugh!!”

And on the ground, Ah Xiu let out a cry of pain.

Although she herself was not harmed by the demonic energy, the violent demonic energy seemed to be torturing her brain.

The sharp claws were now covering her head that had revealed ghost horns. She was roaring unconsciously and wished she could bang her head against the ground.

But she did not remain in this agony for long.

Because Lan En calculated the evil spirit in her very well.

After pulling the man away from the dark blade of the big sword, only a thin layer of evil spirit remained on Ah Xiu's body.

Then, several collisions and frictions on the ground accurately consumed the last bit of stubborn remaining demonic energy.

So after covering her head and wailing in pain, dirty black smoke came out of Ah Xiu's body.

The demonic features on her body disappeared in the drifting black smoke, revealing her original appearance and clothes.

The half-demon stood up after tumbling and struggling, then floated into the air and cried out in pain.

At this moment, the evil spirit in her body dissipated, and her blue eyes looked at the demon hunter standing next to the big sword with a look of gratitude and luck.

Then, with her demonic energy exhausted, she fell from mid-air with a thump and hit the ground.

"Thorn."

Lan En pulled [Muddy Stream·Destruction] out of the ground he had smashed into pieces, took back the alchemical leather bag, and walked towards the half-demon lying on the ground.

As he walked, he was still muttering to himself.

“He’s a nice guy.”

During the final eye contact, although Ah Xiu couldn't speak, Lan En already felt it.

She was thanking herself for being able to stop her from going crazy in this situation.

At the same time, she was also feeling lucky that Lan En was there to stop her.

Otherwise, the entire Thirteen Sakura Village might not have been killed by monsters and bandits, but would have been massacred by her rushing down the mountain.

That's why I used such a troublesome but least harmful method to subdue her.

Lan En walked to Ah Xiu who was lying on the ground. He first collected all the weapons that were scattered out of their sheaths when she fell from mid-air, and tied the three knives together.

Then he reached out, grabbed Ah Xiu's shoulders and pulled her up, intending to carry her away.

However, the process of pulling the other person's shoulders and lifting her upper body off the ground made Lan En raise his eyebrows.

When he lifted up Ah Xiu's lying upper body, this little weight was as light as a feather to Lan En.

But his keen sense still detected something strange.

'It felt as if her front was equipped with springs.'

Of course, there is no way that the half-demon lady has springs installed on the front of her body, so this soft and elastic force can only come from one possible source... some heavy yet elastic part.

The demon hunter was shocked. Although he had seen some clues of the monster transformation just now, he did not expect that the curves of the other party would be so drastic under the tightly wrapped clothes.

If he were facing the strong and open-minded sorceresses in Aretuza Academy, or an unconventional female warrior like Cassandra, Lan would be able to make jokes with dirty jokes very skillfully by now.

But unfortunately, considering the cultural background and cultural atmosphere, the demon hunter acted as if he hadn't noticed anything and carried the confused and drowsy half-demon very seriously.

If the cultural atmosphere is right, then Lan En can certainly easily use some dirty jokes to bring people closer together and make them feel relaxed and friendly.

But at the same time, he undoubtedly has the ability to "distinguish whether the cultural atmosphere is appropriate", which is the so-called "property".

When Lan En carried A Xiu, the fluffy ball came jogging over.

"Meow?" Elu Cat licked his paws first, tilted his head and looked at Ah Xiu on Lan En's shoulder in confusion and asked, "What happened to her? You two suddenly started fighting just now, meow!"

"Nothing." Lan En shrugged and shook the dazed half-demon beauty. "Power out of control? That should be it."

"Okay." The fluff ball didn't hesitate. After all, it seemed that even if Ah Xiu lost control, she could be controlled.

But then the kitten looked around and saw the vague skeleton of a horse under the ground that had been plowed by the horse-headed ghost.

This should be the result of the village chief using the lives of horses and cows to condense the spirit stones. This is also the reason why the horse-headed ghost and the cow-headed ghost were attracted from the underworld to the human world.

Bones couldn't scare the little kitten from the valley raiding tribe. The fluffy ball jumped down and scratched it twice, but when it saw that there was no foul smell anymore, it ignored it.

Instead, it was the 'deformed heart' left by the horse-headed ghost.

It was still floating in the air, and the blood vessels on it were pulsating, with streams of foul demonic energy vibrating out from it.

The kitten looked around the 'deformed heart' and said, "What should we do with it, Boss Meow?"

"We don't know what this thing is, nor do we know how to use it." Lan En said indifferently, "Even if it's Ah Xiu's spoils of war, how about you put it in your space expansion pack first?" Lan En was mainly afraid that after putting it in his alchemical leather bag, this thing would probably be eaten alive by [Turbid Stream·Destruction].

It has already eaten a lot of the horse-headed ghost's flesh and evil spirit.

This thing doesn’t look very rare, so I’d better keep it for Ah Xiu.

Upon hearing this, Flannel Ball pulled the small backpack he had been carrying on his shoulder towards him, opened the bag and was about to put it over the head of "Deformed Heart".

At this moment, the courtyard gate that was almost collapsed by the aftermath of the horse-headed ghost's attack.

Outside the crooked gate, there was a rustling sound, as if something was caressing the ruins and approaching this side.

Because this 'deformed heart' seemed a bit slippery, the flannel ball tried a little hard but still couldn't get it in.

So after a while, the man and the cat saw a man wearing a yellow vest, a sweat towel tied on his head, and a yellow gourd hanging around his waist, crawling in stumbling, cautiously, and peeking his head out.

He was visibly stunned when he saw Lan En carrying Ah Xiu with a cat beside him struggling to stretch the bag.

But he was still very socially gifted and subconsciously raised his hand: "Hey!"

Use a hello to break the ice.

"Ah~ sorry sorry! I'm late. This is such a big scene!"

The man, who looked weathered and a little vulgar, walked over quickly and spoke with a tone of emotion and shame.

He jumped over the ditch plowed by the horse-headed ghost's sword energy and ground waves, and very familiarly began to help the flannel ball put the "deformed heart" into the bag.

His attitude was so natural that Xiaomao was a little confused. He wondered if he had really seen this person somewhere before.

"The quality of this soul core is really good, but it also means that the evil ghost must be very powerful, right? You guys are really strong!"

The man helped the fluff ball stuff the so-called [Soul Core] into the space expansion bag. He seemed to be surprised for a moment that such a big thing could be stuffed into the small kitten backpack, and then he didn't pay any more attention to it.

The way he talked while helping with the work was very friendly, and it was impossible to feel offensive towards him.

The other party's performance made Lan En a little interested.

He is a master who can sense the emotions of a large group and manipulate them with ease.

In his eyes, although the other party has the subjective intention of getting closer to him, this series of social actions that make people feel comfortable are out of habit and instinct. Is he a natural social master?

Emotional intelligence is also a high-level talent.

"Is this the magical cat that the villagers have been talking about? It is indeed magical!"

The man bent down and patted the kitty helmet of the fluffy ball.

Then, leaving the still somewhat confused ball of fluff behind, he took a few steps forward and came to Lan En.

"You're so tall." He teased with a familiar smile at first, but Lan En could keenly feel that under the normal appearance, this man was actually very nervous.

Then, he immediately became serious: "You, you are together? I thought the famous demon exorcist in the area was just one person."

"But no matter what, just call me Toukichirou, haha!"

When Fujiyoshiro delivered the letter, he only found the legendary demon exorcist's house in the wild, but did not see Ah Xiu himself.

So he could only hurriedly leave a letter asking for help and rush back to Jusanzakura Village.

He had also seen Lan En in the village.

After all, this man is so dazzling, especially in such a rural place.

If Fujiyoshiro were to say, such a person must be a rare talent in the world.

At that time, Fujiyoshiro was in the village post station, watching Lan En enter the village as if he was watching a fun event.

And after Lan En entered the village, something unexpected happened that night, which made more people remember him vividly.

But Lan En walked away so quickly that the sociable Fujikirou didn't have a chance to go up and say a few words to him.

I didn't find out from anyone else where this person came from.

In other words, even if he found out, he would probably think that it was just Lan En's excuse to cover up the truth.

After all, he had just sent a letter for help to the demon hunter, and then Lan En, who had left earlier, came back with the "magic cat and Pegasus" and a demon hunter?

Fujiyoshiro doesn't believe such a coincidence.

Apart from anything else, Lan En, who was originally alone, brought these characters with him after he came back. Based on his experience as a traveling merchant in various countries, Fujiyoshiro would never believe that they were just chance encounters in such a short period of time.

It must have taken who knows how long, and how much energy and resources have been spent on cultivating it.

If you say that Lan En is rootless and has drifted to this place, Fujiyoshiro would probably laugh and nod his head repeatedly, saying "yes, yes, yes" over and over again.
