Chapter 148 Your Body Belongs to Me (Subscribe)

After running for about half a day, Lin Rui finally arrived at the target valley.

He held the wanted poster from the county government office in one hand and compared it with the terrain in front of him: "This should be it!"

There was a hint of fatigue and excitement in Lin Rui's eyes.

The Wangcheng County Government issued a bounty of 1200 taels of magic silver for this cold-type fifth-level demon.

As the defense commander of Wangcheng, Lin Rui offered a bounty of 1000 taels of magic silver to the demon for the welfare of the people, as a reward for his meritorious service.

He was quite particular, so the bounty was half a level lower than the standard of the county government.

Therefore, this hunt was not only to collect materials for artificial serum for Wang Sen, but also to suppress this evil and protect the lives and property of the surrounding people.

"What a pity, this Ice Claw Demon's body is too severely deformed. Otherwise, I could have signed a Guardian Demon for you, Ershiqi."

According to previous experience, the closer the guardian demon is to human form and the more closely it matches the Yuanli attributes, the lighter the mental burden on the demon master.

Lin Rui's 'Blood Knife Princess' is just like this. For him, she is simply the perfect guardian demon.

Wang Sen laughed when he heard this: "Let's talk about it later. My mental strength is not strong enough now."

Of course, he also wanted to become a demon master. If he could sign a guardian demon, it would not only improve his combat power, but also provide convenience in all aspects.

The problem is that his spirit really can't bear it.

Wang Sen admired Lin Rui very much. Brother Rui not only carried a fourth-level super-emperor-level guardian demon, but also had two super-emperor-level colonial suits implanted in his body, five upper-level colonial suits, and a complete set of 4-type spellcasting suits. He looked quite relaxed.

Things like colonial equipment cannot be obtained just by having money.

For example, Fang Ranran, her family is rich enough that she can buy any powerful colonial equipment in full, but now she is only an S+ level major.

This is very outstanding among the rich second generation, but it is not as good as the colonial talent of Lin Rui.

Not only is Brother Rui's martial arts talent at the top level, his mental strength is also at the top level. The combination of the two makes him a top-level colonial talent.

The two did not rush to take action, but instead went to a larger village nearby to rest for a while.

Their physical fitness is far inferior to Ji Xueying's. After galloping on horseback for half a day, this Blood Blade Ji is still full of energy and shows no signs of fatigue.

Lin Rui felt as if his body was about to be shattered by the iron-scale horse.

Their mounts couldn't bear it either. Although the two men each rode two horses and took turns riding, after galloping for seven hundred miles, the six iron-scale horses were exhausted and panting, lying on the ground with their tongues hanging out.

It was just getting dark, and the village they entered was dark. There was no sound around, and it was completely silent.

However, Lin Rui's powerful perception allowed him to clearly sense that there were many people peeking out of the surrounding houses.

He also saw that the roofs of the surrounding houses and the fields next to them were covered with a thin layer of ice.

Lin Rui looked at the thin ice in the fields and pondered for a moment, then walked towards the most imposing blue brick courtyard in the village.

The owner of this small blue brick courtyard is indeed the local headman.

The Song Dynasty implemented the baojia system, where ten households formed a jia, with a jia chief; ten jias formed a bao, with a bao chief.

When the headman confirmed Lin Rui's identity as the defense envoy and learned that he came for the fifth-level ice claw demon, he immediately and respectfully invited them into the upper room, served them food and water, and used the best beans and grains to treat the six iron-scale horses they brought.

Soon after, the silent village was in an uproar, and hundreds of people gathered in front of the courtyard. They were all grateful and knelt in front of the courtyard.

Some of those who came from better-off families also brought gifts that they thought were worthy of the occasion, including various precious animal skins, rare medicinal herbs, and so on.

However, most of the people in this village are pale and thin.

Lin Rui took a look outside and found that most of them were half-naked, and even some women and children were not wearing clothes.

The village chief was also very thin. He was only forty years old, but he looked like he was in his sixties.

He happily introduced the situation: "Sir, the Ice Claw Demon appeared in March. After we reported it to the authorities, no one has been able to deal with it. Although the authorities have offered a reward, and attracted some demon hunters, they are no match for the Ice Claw Demon. They either fled far away or were fed to the demon.

Over time, the surrounding villages have been affected by this. We have already missed the spring plowing season. If we can't replant crops before autumn arrives, I don't know how many people will starve to death in this area. So, more than a dozen villages have pooled 600 taels of magic silver and went to the county capital to increase the reward. I didn't expect you to come today, and you are the defense envoy of this county!

He immediately sensed something was amiss in his words. Wasn't this a satire on the Defense Commissioner's greed for money? The village chief knelt on the ground and kowtowed, explaining anxiously, "That's not what I meant. Seven days ago, I went to the county capital to discuss the additional reward and heard of your reputation. The Defense Commissioner, fresh out of office, rushed here to help us exterminate this demon. We're truly fortunate!"

"There's no need to be so," Lin Rui said with a magnanimous smile. He helped the chief up. "What good fortune are you talking about? We're the ones who arrived too late. Let the people outside go and rest up. We'll rest here for one night. Tomorrow morning, we'll definitely kill this demon for you."

Just as the village chief left with many thanks, Wang Sen looked out the window with a troubled look in his eyes and said in a low voice, "Sir, how about we just forget about the reward for Wangchengdu?"

He looked at the group of people kneeling outside the courtyard and suddenly felt the heaviness of the bounty.

——That’s all the people’s money.

"I know what's going on." Lin Rui was also in a heavy mood. He read the humanities information of Tianji Star and knew that the lower-class civilians on Tianji Star were suffering.

When he was in the county seat of Yinyue County before, Lin Rui felt that the people there had a very difficult life. Most of the Tianji people he came into contact with had a very hard life.

However, the farmers outside the city are several times more miserable than those in the city.

In fact, the fields of Tianjixing are very productive, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. Under normal circumstances, people can live a very comfortable life and have no problem meeting basic needs.

However, in order to suppress demons from all over the place and guard against "Purgatory", the government of Tianjixing had to levy heavy taxes on the people in order to support a large number of martial artists.

This is also related to the corruption of the government. The Song Dynasty lasted for 6700 years, and the entire court organization had become corrupt.

Lin Rui thought that he still had to collect the reward from Wangchengdu, but he could find a way to return the reward from the county government to the villagers and farmers.

But you can't just quit, you have to think of a reason.

Lin Rui still understood the story of Zilu receiving the ox.

He was in low spirits and listless, sighing secretly in his heart. He had thought he could earn two bounties this time, but in the end he had to give up one.

Ji Xueying sat beside them, watching the two of them silently.

There was a smile in her eyes.

Ji Xueying always felt that her master and the little fat man, although they were demons from outside the domain, were far more like "human beings" than the powerful people she had met in the capital.

Just at this moment, Ji Xueying's face tightened slightly and she looked outside the house.

At this moment, a cold wind blew outside, causing the temperature in the area hundreds of feet around the blue brick courtyard to drop rapidly.

The extreme cold caused a thin layer of ice to form on the ground nearby, and the ice on the surfaces of the houses was even thicker.

At this time, hundreds of villagers were still gathered outside the blue brick courtyard and had not dispersed. They were all panicked when they saw this.

"Oh no! It's the Ice Claw Demon!"

"The demon is here, attracted by our movements."

"It's so cold! I feel like my blood has frozen."

"Damn demon, I really want to fight it!"

The middle-aged headman was standing outside the house persuading the villagers to leave. Seeing this, his face turned pale. He reacted quickly and began to organize the surrounding villagers to enter his own courtyard and take shelter in the surrounding houses.

However, the biting cold wind and the extremely low temperature slowed down the movements of all the villagers, and a layer of white frost formed on their bodies in an instant.

At this moment, Ji Xueying's ice-jade pupils turned into fire jade, and a red flame ignited on her body, radiating strong light in all directions, which not only instantly restored the surrounding temperature to normal, but also warmed the bodies of all the villagers.

Her figure then turned into light and disappeared, and in an instant she was a hundred feet away to the south, looking at a large demon three feet tall below.

This demon's body is like a giant demon ape, but it has horns on its head and a turtle back behind it.

Its hands are particularly huge, almost as big as its body, and the tips of its hands are one-foot long, extremely sharp claws.

"Early stage of the fifth realm, super king bloodline?"

Ji Xueying couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

It seems that the information provided by these villagers is distorted, but this is also a blessing for Wang Erqi.

In the past, Ji Xueying could only have a slight advantage against this Ice Claw Demon of the early fifth realm and super king level, but now—

Ji Xueying swung her sword fiercely, and fell towards the Ice Claw Demon's head like red thunder.

The fifth-level ice claw demon also let out a "ga ga" roar and swung its claws towards the sky to slash.

It was very confident in its claws, but when the two demons' claws collided, a ball of bright red blood suddenly burst out of the right arm of the Fifth Realm Ice Claw Demon.

Not only were the ice claws on its hand forcibly cut off by Ji Xueying, but that hand was also removed by Ji Xueying's extremely powerful and swift sword light!
Ji Xueying's lips curled up slightly.

This is the 'Gene Complement Potion' that the Master injected her with! This is the enhanced sword 'Shocking Snow'!
These two factors make her combat power infinitely close to the 'Emperor Level'!
After Ji Xueying left, Lin Rui also flew quickly and arrived at the door of the blue brick courtyard.

"be careful!"

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes, his gaze solemn.

In addition to the fifth-level ice claw demon, he sensed the presence of other demons around.

Wang Sen also looked solemn. He took out a sky-blue shield and stood in front of Lin Rui, ready for battle.

This is the fifth-level upper-level 'Cold Blood Shield' that he exchanged for the blood sword!
Originally, trading magic weapons was a very troublesome thing, but with the help of Professor Han, Wang Sen, with the help of the professor's connections, successfully exchanged for this magic weapon a day ago.

While Lin Rui was observing the battle situation on Ji Xueying's side and was concentrating on being on guard.

He felt a chilling wind invading his body, and at the same time heard a cold and conceited chuckle: "Your body belongs to me!"

At the same time, information appeared in Lin Rui's mind.

Tip: The invasion of Brigadier General-level alien spiritual power has been detected. It is now possessing Battle Spirits No. 1 and No. 2, and can help you absorb and refine the spiritual essence of the alien spiritual power. Do you want to possess it?
Lin Rui's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

He chose to be——
