"Although many times..." Old Qiao Mu patted the seat.
"I think this big guy we are sitting on is very noisy and interferes with the hearing of our demon hunters."
"The dusty smell of burning magic coal also greatly reduced my sense of smell."
"But there is no doubt that times are moving forward."
"In the era when I was young, we demon hunters had no armor, and even the weapons were not necessarily very sharp."
"And now, even he is a newly promoted first-level demon hunter."
"Everyone can also have his own set of black iron-grade leather armor, a sharp dagger, and a full-body shield necklace."
"In those days, demon hunting pistols were a luxury item."
"Demon hunting bullets require a lot of money to buy. No one will waste hunting bullets casually to practice shooting skills."
"And now, a powerful witcher pistol is a must-have for a witcher."
"And the manual on how to make demon-hunting bullets is even more widely circulated."
"Even the kid Hotch can skillfully use extraordinary tools to make demon-hunting bullets."
"And a lot of shooting practice with demon-hunting bullets has allowed me to master the most accurate marksmanship."
"The popularity of demon hunting pistols and the abundant supply of demon hunting bullets allow us to easily defeat a group of dark creatures from a longer distance. Most of the time, they are defeated without even touching us. We killed."
"In the previous era, this would have been impossible."
"And the full-body armor and sharp melee weapons allow us to not fall behind when confronting those dark creatures head-on."
"Even if we are injured, the medicine in the package can help us recover easily."
"In fact, as long as the injuries don't cause death on the spot, we can survive."
"As for those dark creatures, they haven't changed much in the past sixty or seventy years. If we set a special trap, they will swarm over, and then we will gradually destroy them."
"In addition, there are more demon hunters now, and there are more extraordinary professionals. Many extraordinary people who are not demon hunters have also joined the hunting industry."
"After all, hunting those powerful creatures is still very profitable."
"so… "
Old Qiaomu smiled.
"The dark creatures that appear on the plateau of the Western Wilderness Mountains are simply not enough for so many hunters."
"Last summer, as soon as there were rumors that a large number of dark creatures appeared in the Western Wilderness Mountains, a large number of hunting extraordinary people went north and penetrated deep into the mountains."
"When winter is just over, we can no longer find those dark creatures."
Old Qiaomu's words made Gunie nodded slightly.
The development over the past few decades has indeed greatly improved the power of the Northern Empire at the extraordinary sequence level.
Not only are there a lot of extraordinary people, but they also have enough extraordinary equipment and extraordinary resources to enhance their strength.
As long as you have money, you can make yourself stronger.
With the expansion of territory, sea lanes were opened.
The continuous acquisition of more abundant resources is also the reason why the territory of the Northern Empire can grow stronger day by day.
"What about you? Young man, how did you leave Suge Ruins City?" Old Qiao Mu looked over with narrowed eyes.
When Lao Qiaomu told the story just now, Gunie had already formulated a very reasonable identity for himself.
After pondering for a while, Gune spoke softly.
"My father did not survive that terrible night of winter's end."
"For my father, his lifelong goal is to restore the glory of the family, and I will definitely fight for this throughout my life."
"After my father died, I sold all my family property."
"This time I go south and after arriving in Belan City, I will transfer to the train and go to Harutfu Seaport."
"You know that there is endless wealth on the sea."
"So I'm going to buy a sea boat, recruit some sailors, and explore the world in the endless depths of the ocean."
"I also know that if a rough wave comes, or I encounter some ferocious pirates, or I am attacked by some sea monsters or other extraordinary creatures, I will become impoverished, and even my own life will be in danger. being threatened."
"But, as long as I don't die, I can always gain something."
"Life is like this. If you don't work hard, you will most likely be able to live your life comfortably, but you will never enjoy the fruits of success and wealth."
"And as long as you work hard, fight, and take risks, you may fail, you may end up in a very tragic end or even die, but the fruits of victory will eventually show a glimmer of light ahead."
Listening to Gunie's words, Old Qiaomu nodded slightly.
The opening up of today's ocean waterways has indeed made many people rich overnight.
There are many people who go on deep sea voyages for this purpose.
Some very courageous and powerful young people he knew also ran towards the sea.
Some of them achieved success and even got rich from it.
And more often than not, there is no news.
Maybe they died in the belly of a fish, maybe they died on an isolated island, or maybe they were captured by some cannibal tribes and used as "ancestral spirits" or as sacrifices and food for some extraordinary beasts.
"Going to the ocean is a good choice, but do you know about some recent things that have happened above the ocean?" Old Qiaomu said.
"I know some, but not much. Senior, you are talking about the undead of the sea, right?"
Since he was going to the ocean, Gunie was naturally very concerned about the news on the ocean.
It is said that more than a month ago, an extremely strong earthquake broke out near the seismic zone above the ocean. A large number of volcanic islands erupted.
This resulted in the "Undead Crack" appearing above the ocean.
A large number of undead from other dimensions have entered the ocean, making the ocean extremely dangerous. I heard that some islands are even densely packed with undead creatures.
And those soul-like undead creatures float unscrupulously on the ocean, forming a tide of undead, constantly attacking merchant ships that go deep into the sea.
For this reason, the Ocean Extraordinary Association has sent a large number of steel giant ships and extraordinary people to kill these undead creatures.
It can be said that the war on the ocean is now in full swing.
"It's not just the undead of the sea." Old Qiao Mu's voice sounded again.
"And some powerful—devils."
Old Qiao Mu's voice was very deep.
"A powerful devil?"
Gu Nie's eyes narrowed slightly. Gu Nie had never heard of this related news before.
devil!
This is a very terrifying and powerful top-level spiritual extraordinary creature.
The number of other extraordinary creatures in the species system is: there are many ordinary creatures, few at the elite level, not to mention those at the leader level, very, very rare.
Those who can become a lord can easily dominate a large area and become the overlord of a region.
But devils, a top-ranking species, are different.
devil! There is no ordinary class.
The weakest and weakest devils are also "elite".
As for the "elite-level" devils born, I'm sorry, you are not qualified to survive. The only purpose of your birth is to become the food of the leader-level devils.
Only "leader-level" devils can truly come out of the "devil's lair".
This also means that every devil that appears is at least a powerful leader-level being.
When a large number of leaders are born, a "devil lord" will easily appear.
In the world of spiritual creatures, the status of the devil is equivalent to the "demon" among flesh and blood creatures.
After hearing that there were a large number of demons appearing on the ocean, Gu Nie's eyes sparkled.
"This is really... good news!"
A crown species as a spiritual creature.
The devil possesses extremely powerful soul abilities.
The most powerful thing about them is devouring souls, transforming, absorbing and strengthening themselves.
Even if their souls are severely damaged or even broken into pieces, they will not die as long as they are not completely annihilated.
They can bring together the broken soul bodies and slowly recover with their own powerful characteristics.
At the same time, they can also quickly recover their own soul injuries by devouring other souls.
As a crown species of spiritual creatures, the devil is more than a little powerful.
On the other hand, if the human soul suffers a little trauma, it will have serious consequences.
A slightly more severe trauma to the soul will lead to complete death.
The gap between the human soul and the devil's soul is very huge.
For Gu Nie, he is now preparing to condense his secondary soul.
A spiritual creature like the devil is a perfect secondary soul material.
With the secondary soul as his soul shield, and the fact that Gunie's own soul is not weak in the first place, this will make Gunie's soul's survivability extraordinarily powerful.
"Forget it about the devil lord. If you encounter a third-level or fourth-level devil leader, you will definitely not let him go." Gu Nie thought secretly.
Old Qiaomu continued.
"The appearance of these things has caused chaos on the ocean, and this has given the pirates an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Nowadays, many merchant ships that go deep into the ocean are not destroyed by the undead of the sea and those soul-devouring demonic creatures, but by those powerful pirates."
"If you encounter an ocean undead, you can avoid it in time."
"And if you encounter pirates who have sea demon ships, ordinary sailing ships can't outrun them."
"And if they catch up, the end will often be miserable."
"Thank you for your warning, senior. I will pay attention to these aspects." Gu Nie responded.
There is indeed a huge difference in the speed of sailing on the ocean between ordinary sailing ships and sea demon ships.
And what Gu Nie wants to obtain is precisely the Sea Demon Ship.
If we really encounter some not-so-powerful pirates, we still can’t tell who will be destroyed!
After thinking about it, Gunie looked at Old Qiaomu.
"Senior, as a demon hunter with rich experience, do you know some relevant information about 'Arcane Shooting'?"
"Arcane shooting?" Old Qiaomu's expression changed.
