Professions like demon hunters face countless dangers almost every day. Therefore, demon hunters will gradually get used to the situation of dying at any time. The proportion of those is larger.
But even if a demon hunter is used to danger and life and death, he will still inevitably feel dejected when faced with the death of his companion. Especially if the relationship is relatively good. And Pike was able to call John for help, so the relationship between the two is naturally good! Therefore, after telling Ye Qi that the deceased was Pike, John immediately ran up to the clock tower to collect Pike's body.
Ye Qi, on the other hand, ordered the police chief and others who had caught up to evacuate quickly to comfort the residents of the town, and stood aside, frowning and thinking.
coincide? Or warning? Or is it a provocation
Ye Qi stared at the glaring blood stains under the clock tower, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The enemy is not scary, what is scary is the enemy hidden in the dark! Just like the poisonous snake hiding in the grass, no one knows when it will come out from behind you and reveal its sharp fangs!
"Boy, you seem to be in trouble!"
Just when Ye Qi frowned and thought to no avail, the long-lost voice of the strange wolf appeared in his ears. After hearing this lazy voice, Ye Qi couldn't help being taken aback.
You must know that since the last time, Ye Qi has called the other party countless times in his heart, but he has not responded. If it weren't for the increased attributes and the specialization of vampire touch, Ye Qi would have thought it was a dream. And this time the strange wolf suddenly appeared again without warning, Ye Qi would not think that the other party wanted to chat with him, it must be related to the situation he encountered now.
Facing an enemy hiding in the dark, Ye Qi didn't want to be overshadowed by the opponent. So Ye Qi didn't procrastinate at the moment, and asked directly in his mind: "What is the other party?"
"What? In the past, it should be human! Now, it should be half demon and half human..."
"Half demon, half human?"
Ye Qi, who had never heard of this term, frowned.
"Hey, boy, it's very impolite to interrupt others! Half-demon half-human is what we call it, and what you humans call it should be a demon servant who has thrown himself into the embrace of darkness!"
Demon servants, literally, are those who serve demons. A person who gives his soul to the devil in exchange for power. Under normal circumstances, many dark wizards who are old and have a short lifespan usually use this method to prolong their lifespan. Of course, in addition to this, wizards have many other ways to extend their lifespan, such as transforming themselves into liches. However, converting a lich requires not only its own powerful strength, but also a complicated process, and most dark wizards simply cannot meet the conditions. Compared with this, the demon servant is much simpler. Just complete a few rituals.
"The pair of lovers represent lust, and the pair of friends behind represent betrayal, but what does Pike represent now? And there should be no tomb robbery in the devil ceremony..."
With the reminder from the strange wolf, Ye Qi quickly deduced the meaning of the previous serial murders out of his understanding of demon servants, but he still didn't understand Pike's death and the earliest tomb robbery.
Could it be that the inference was wrong? Tomb robbery has nothing to do with these things
Although old news problems have been solved, new problems have emerged. Ye Qi couldn't help but asked the strange wolf in his heart: "Why did this demon servant kill Pike so cruelly?"
"Sacrifice! The previous one is the ceremony, but without the sacrifice, the ceremony is incomplete! Only by offering sacrifices can the ceremony be completed, and the demon servants can obtain the benefits of the contract!" The strange wolf's lazy tone suddenly carried There was an undetectable strangeness: "Boy, do you want to make another deal?"
"What deal?"
In view of the other party's dishonesty last time, even though Ye Qi himself got a great benefit later, after hearing the word "trade", he still felt a chill in his heart.
"Help me get the soul of this demon servant, and I'll give you a sacred artifact!" The lazy tone was full of composure.
"Holy Artifact?!"
Although he has the status of an apostle now, if he adds a holy vessel... Ye Qi couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of this. You must know that the combination of a holy vessel and an apostle is not as simple as one plus one. If the apostle's ability and the sacred weapon's ability complement each other and bring out the best in each other, they can fully exert double or even ten times the original power! However, the number of holy artifacts is really too small. You can become an apostle and master the holy artifacts, unless you are the successor of a major demon hunting family or the Holy Son or Holy Maiden of the Holy See!
Thinking that such an opportunity was in front of him, Ye Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay! But how can I help you get the soul of the demon servant?"
"It's very simple, just kill the other party!" The strange wolf was very happy when he heard Ye Qi's agreement, and immediately acted: "Now raise your left hand!"
Hearing that it was enough to simply kill the demon servant, Ye Qi was obviously relieved—this demon servant had already done something to kill the demon hunter, so Ye Qi and the other party were at odds, and killing the other party was already a big deal. It is imperative. Moreover, to be able to obtain a sacred artifact, why not do it
Of course, the most important thing was that the expected disgusting rituals did not appear—the demon hunter had heard from John before that countless demonic rituals were required to plunder other people's souls. Thinking of the countless times that the bloody ritual was avoided, the demon hunter unconsciously felt a lot more relaxed. Therefore, when he heard some commanding words from the strange wolf, the demon hunter did not feel disgusted and followed them.
A dark golden light that only the demon hunter could see flashed from the bronze bracelet on his left wrist, and then the voice of the strange wolf sounded next to his ear: "Okay! I have finished what I have to do, and the rest is Yours! Wish us a happy transaction!"
The demon hunter, who was in a relaxed mood just now because he avoided countless demonic rituals, turned pale at this moment: "Bastard! You lied to me again! This bracelet is obviously mine!"
Thinking of being deceived by the other party again, especially when he "given" him with his items, the demon hunter only felt extremely annoyed. However, compared to the demon hunter's nest fire, the strange wolf is plausible: "Your thing? You have used your special abilities several times before, but you can't activate this holy artifact. It can only be used as decorations and waste! And I will replace it with you." You have inspired the ability of this holy vessel, and let the holy vessel truly be used by you, isn’t it considered as giving you a holy vessel?”
"you… "
The demon hunter, who couldn't refute for a while, looked down at the bronze bracelet on his left wrist.
