The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

Or did the man in front of him have a way to avoid being discovered by the demons? If their police force could obtain this method, then fighting against demons would definitely reduce casualties.

But...how can I make the other party willing to hand it over?

They had never heard of this method, and the other party would definitely not hand it over so easily.

Lucas suddenly fell silent. Although his thoughts were not directly revealed on his face, Simon, who had great observation skills, could guess roughly what he was thinking.

"Are you wondering why I'm still alive after seeing the devil?"

Simon suddenly spoke up. Before Lucas could be surprised by what he was thinking, Simon spoke up again: "It's easy. As long as we kill the demon, we can survive."

"By the way, no one helped me. I was alone from beginning to end, so you don't have to guess. I was the one who killed the little devil by myself."

"As for how he was killed..." Simon suddenly stood up and patted Lucas on the shoulder. "You will know sooner or later. Maybe in one day? Or maybe in two days? Anyway, it won't be too long. As long as I get the demon's remains and kill the demon that massacred the town, everything will be clear."

Simon's words immediately blocked Lucas's intention to ask.

After all, Simon's meaning was clearly conveyed. He didn't want to talk about his own affairs anymore. Now all he wanted was the demon's remains.

Without thinking for too long, Lucas stood up from his chair and walked outside while saying, "Come with me, I'll get you the demon's skin. If you were a day or two later, the skin might have been taken back."

Hearing this, Simon chuckled: "Then I'm pretty lucky."

The two of them walked one after the other towards the temporary resting place of the police investigation team. Since Lucas volunteered to patrol tonight, there were no other patrol members around.

The night was as bright as day from Simon's perspective, so he was not afraid of Lucas playing any tricks, because he could see everything clearly anyway.

But perhaps Lucas figured something out. He did not lie to Simon and really took out the demon's remains from a room.

The moment Simon saw the devil's remains, he was sure that this thing was really the skin shed by the devil, and the devil's aura on it could not be fake.

The moment he got the demon's remains, Simon felt a little unsure. He got it so easily? It suddenly felt a little unreal.

While thinking about it, he asked casually. It didn't matter whether the other party answered or not.

Lucas smiled frankly, looked at Simon's sunglasses and answered seriously: "It's not that complicated. I just suddenly believe in you. I believe you can really solve the demon."

"No matter what secrets you have, you are a human being, not a demon. And you also said that everything will be clear once you solve the demon that attacked the town."

"So I'm willing to trust you for a bit, it's that simple."

Hearing this, Simon said in a deep voice: "Okay, since you are willing to trust me, then I won't be hypocritical. I have a use for this demon skin, so I'll take it."

"Also, if my speculation is correct, the demon may still be near this town. It has not left. I will go and deal with the demon. If you really want to trust me, you can wait in the town for a while until I come back."

"Of course, you can tell your colleagues about my affairs. As for how to explain it, that is your business."

After saying that, Simon, holding the demon skin, left here directly. He was going back to prepare the demon hunting tools.

Lucas silently watched Simon's departing back, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared to be.

"I trust you so much, please don't let me down."

After muttering these words to himself, Lucas turned around and continued his patrol. However, when he touched his lower back, his expression suddenly changed.

"My gun!"

"That boy didn't give it back to me!"

On the other side, Simon was playing with the gun he had picked up, with a slight smile in his eyes. Now, with the gun, he would be more foolproof.

Humming a little tune, he walked quickly towards his car. The demon skin would only be effective after being processed. In order not to waste time, he would not sleep tonight.

Anyway, considering his physical condition, it won't be a problem for him to go without sleep for three days. He'll have to last at least a week before he feels sleepy.

That demon skin was still very useful to him, after all, it was the skin shed by the demon cub.

With a little processing, the potion made from that skin can be used to track down the demon cub's true body.

I don't know if the mother demon forgot or what, but she didn't even deal with the skin shed by her cub. This made it easier for him to track it.

The night soon disappeared with the rising of the sun. When the light of morning light shone on the earth, Simon also ended his preparations for hunting demons.

That demon skin has turned into several test tubes of potions. The function of the potions is very simple, which is to intensify the smell left by the main material.

The main ingredient of the potion is the demon skin, or the demon cub.

When the smell becomes stronger, the scent left by the demon cub will be extremely clear to Simon's sense of smell, and it will also be his main means of tracking the demon.

"Tsk, the thought of drinking this potion made of demon skin makes me want to vomit."

Looking at the extremely turbid potion in his hand, Simon showed disgust, but this was the best way to track it, so he had to drink it.

He poured the potion into his mouth in one breath, and swallowed it all in one gulp before his taste buds could transmit the texture and taste of the potion to his brain. Although the remaining taste was still clearly perceived by his brain, there was nothing he could do about it.

After drinking a bottle of potion, Simon smacked his lips, feeling the unexpectedly good taste. Not long after, the potion took effect.

A clear red line seemed to appear in front of his eyes, but Simon knew that it was just because the smell was too strong, and combined with his various senses, it produced an effect similar to seeing the color of the smell.

Chapter 445 Found you

"Oh, the smell really hasn't dissipated. My guess was correct."

Simon, fully armed, followed the scent route and walked into the forest in a good mood. If he was lucky enough, he would be able to find the demon today.

Since the cub had completed its molting in the last few days, according to the laws of nature, a molting creature would definitely become weak during the period immediately following the molting.

Although he didn't know whether the demon would follow this natural law, judging from the lingering smell, he guessed right.

Demons also fall into a period of weakness when they shed their skin, just like snakes.

In order to wait for the demon cub to recover its strength after molting, the mother demon will definitely not leave immediately, but will stay here to continue hunting for blood and protect her cub.

Therefore, now is the best time to hunt down the demon. He has the right time and place, and it would be unreasonable if he fails.

Simon walked quickly as he followed the scent trail to find the devil. After all, that strong smell was the best navigation.

People were still fleeing the town in an endless stream, but they were less anxious than yesterday.

Those eager people had already finished running on the first day, so how could they wait until now?

After a while, Simon suddenly stopped his anxious steps and walked towards the corpse of a wild beast.

It was a common gray wolf, but now it has become an uncommon gray wolf corpse.

The smell on the gray wolf's corpse was slightly stronger than the smell on the road, which meant that this gray wolf had at least had contact with the demon cub.

Well, being eaten counts.

Simon squatted beside the gray wolf's body and looked at the dead animal. Although it looked like a corpse without internal organs, Simon could actually get a lot of information.

"Well... the fatal wound was the smashed head. After all, the brains were flowing out of all the orifices. It was really a terrifying force."

Wolves are known for having copper heads, iron bones and tofu waists. This is also the experience that hunters have gained from fighting wolves. Although it is described from a human perspective, it can also indirectly illustrate how hard the wolf's head is.

But now, judging by the degree of depression in the gray wolf's skull, the demon probably killed the gray wolf with just one blow.

"It lost its internal organs. Sure enough, the molted demon cub needed nutrition. Because there were police stationed in the town, it was vigilant and did not attack humans?"

"Oh, you are really cautious."

Simon guessed in his heart while looking at the wound on the gray wolf's abdomen, but unknowingly, he spoke his guess out loud to himself.

"The meat is still fresh and not spoiled. Judging from the coagulation of the blood, the time of death may have been last night."

"This means..." Simon stood up from the wolf's corpse and looked in the direction of the smell with his sharp vertical pupils. "The devil may be not far away. I'm really lucky. Maybe it won't take even a day."

After getting the information he wanted, Simon ignored the wolf corpse on the ground, tightened his equipment, and quickly left.

While following the smell, he would come across other animal carcasses, but Simon didn't even look at them. He had already obtained the information he wanted and there was no need to waste any more time.

After drinking three more test tube potions, Simon finally found other clues. They were fresh footprints, so fresh that he could not ignore them at all.

"I'm really lucky. I haven't even used up the potion yet."

The moment he saw the footprints, Simon knew that he was not far from the devil. The bright footprints were obviously left not long ago.

Judging from the size of the footprints, they were left by the mother demon. There were no footprints of cubs around. Did it come out alone to look for food?

After thinking for a while, Simon drew out his steel sword and took out a light blue potion from his waist bag. This was a concealment potion.

It will not emit any odor for at least five hours after drinking it, which is very useful for those demons with a keen sense of smell.

"Gulu gulu..."

The potion didn't taste too bad this time, it was like drinking a strong scent of echinacea.

After drinking this bottle of potion, Simon did not drink any other potions. He had to take it slow. After all, potions were poisonous. If he drank too much at once, he would be poisoned. After being poisoned, his fighting power would definitely decrease, which would backfire.

After concealing his own scent, Simon quietly disappeared into the woods like a hunting wolf, trying to minimize the noise he made.

The steel sword in his hand gently moved away the branches that were blocking the way, allowing Simon to move forward stealthily without making any sound.

This time, he walked slowly.

But the increasingly strong smell told him that he was not going in the wrong direction.

After a long time, when a hint of yellow appeared on the horizon, Simon finally saw a bit of moving black.

It was an ugly and disgusting creature, whose appearance was hard to describe. It had a humanoid face, hands and legs similar to humans, but it crawled on all fours like a wild beast, and its cloudy eyes did not contain a trace of emotion.

This was the demon that attacked him at that time, and it was also the demon that hunted the town, but it was not that big, only the size of a Doberman Pinscher.

"Is this the devil's cub? It's so ugly yet so cute."

Looking at the nest that seemed to contain only cubs, the veins on Simon's arm holding the steel sword bulged, and he wished he could go up and chop the cub that caused everything into meat paste right now.

But his reason stopped him. No matter how he looked at it, the current scene was wrong.

Because he didn't see the she-demon, the one that actually attacked him and the town.

The female demon must be hiding nearby. If he really swaggered forward to attack, he would probably be knocked down and have his neck bitten before he could get close.

Simon calmed himself and did not attack rashly. Instead, he calmly took out several potions from his waist bag. These were potions that would increase his chances of winning.

After drinking several bottles of potions in just a few gulps, Simon endured the discomfort in his body and took out another bottle of potion. This bottle of potion was the mutant potion he made using the mutant he had obtained before.

The toxicity of mutant potions is much greater than that of herbal potions, but at the same time, their effectiveness is also much greater. Not only can they increase attack power and speed, but they can also increase self-healing ability, while also speeding up the secretion of adrenaline and reducing pain from injuries.

It is really the best choice for demon hunters to hunt demons.

Simon took out the mutant potion, took a deep breath, and poured it directly into his throat. This time he didn't even have time to feel the taste, he just focused on swallowing.

"Crack!"

A slight shattering sound was heard, and cracks appeared on the glass bottle in Simon's hand. The instantaneous stimulation made him unable to control his strength.

Dark blue veins bulged around his eye sockets, and his face was as pale as a deathly person. This was caused by the toxicity of the overdose of potion.

If he drank two or three more bottles of potion, the demon wouldn't even need to do anything, he would die instantly from the poison.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling a breath with a strong smell of alcohol, Simon suppressed the discomfort of being poisoned. His calculations were correct. After drinking these potions, he could still hold on.

Simon put away the glass bottle and took out his crossbow. The poisoned arrow flashed with cold light.

He aimed at the demon cub that was completely unaware of the danger, placed his index finger lightly on the trigger, and then -

"call out!"

Chapter 446 Fierce battle in the forest

The sharp arrow arrived in front of the demon cub in the blink of an eye, and it was so fast that it seemed that it would pierce the cub's head in the next moment, but -

"Snapped!"

A huge claw suddenly emerged from the soil and blocked the arrow's path. The arrow was like it had hit a hard steel plate and broke into several pieces under the impact.

"Roar--!"

A roar with a foul smell came from underground, and the soil under the demon cub suddenly bulged upwards, and the swollen soil clods broke apart, revealing a figure underground.

A black-brown figure that was even larger than a grizzly bear emerged completely from the ground. It was the mother demon, who had been hiding in the mud beneath her cub.

"Tsk, the devil's train of thought is really unpredictable. He actually hides underground. Is he using his own cubs as bait?"

Simon put away his crossbow while talking to himself, and put on a Quen shield. He must be well prepared before the battle.

"Hiss..."

The demon's breathing gradually became heavier, and it discovered Simon hiding behind a tree.

Simon didn't even think about hiding his aura any longer. The enchanted runes on the sword became more and more dazzling with the infusion of magic power.
