Chapter 14 City Patrol, Encountering Demons (1)
In the following days, the city demon hunting team did not receive any reports of demons, and Mu Bai was idle too.
These days, Mu Bai has been with Ning Xue during the day to look at the demon picture book. He can't meet the demon then but don't know what it is. Of course, Mu Bai doesn't expect to recognize all the demons. After all, there are too many places that are forbidden zones for humans, and too many types of demons that humans have not discovered yet.
At night, she practiced with all her strength and used Netherworld cultivation instead of sleep. As for why she didn't reduce the time she spent with Mu Ningxue, she should almost wake up on her own.
(I said before that she woke up at the age of 15, but I went to read the original work again. It seemed that she could use ice magic at the age of 15, and was specially recruited by the Imperial Capital Academy. The original work clearly stated that she had used eight months to control the ice vine skills, so she woke up at the age of 14 and a half.)
After Mu Ningxue awakens independently, she should be sent by Mu Zhuoyun to the main clan of the imperial capital to practice. That is her stage. Bocheng is too small to accommodate her.
Mu Bai did not intend to stop it. Before Mu He was revealed to be the Black Holy See, Mu Ningxue had a high status, where she could obtain more cultivation resources and a higher status.
A brief parting is for a better reunion.
At the same time, during the period when Mu Ningxue went to the imperial capital, Mu Bai could truly calm down and practice with all his heart.
...
"Bai Bing, tomorrow is the weekly patrol time of our city demon hunting team. You and Du Yunbo are responsible for the patrol of the West City. The specific matters will be explained to you in detail."
Xu Dahuang informed Mu Bai one day in advance.
After Xu Dahuang notified, Du Yunbo also called to discuss the meeting and the location and time with Mu Bai.
The next day, Mu Bai came to the entrance of Xicheng Xingfu Community to meet Du Yunbo.
Seeing Bai Bing's arrival, Du Yunbo waved to him. After getting to know him, Du Yunbo could still let go a little.
"Bai Bing, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a while. You probably don't know what the patrol of the city demon hunting team is doing."
When Mu Bai heard Du Yunbo’s honest speech, he felt a little embarrassed. Old Du was not rigid, he had low EQ. In the eyes of girls, he was probably a straight man, but Mu Bai also knew that this was Du Yunbo.
"Well, the captain hasn't told me what to do on patrol, but I can probably guess some of it. It should be that we regularly patrol some areas to search for any demons to ensure the safety of the city."
Mu Bai replied.
"Yes, the patrol mission is similar to what you think. We will start patrolling in Xingfu Community later, especially focusing on searching for areas that are rarely visited."
After almost the explanation, Du Yunbo took Mu Bai to start the patrol mission.
During the patrol, Mu Bai walked through many dilapidated urban areas and woods. These places were high-frequency areas where demons appeared. Everything was normal.
The last place to be investigated was the garbage dump in Xicheng.
Garbage grounds and sewers are the most likely places to appear in giant-eyed apes and rats.
So here, Du Yunbo and Mu Bai are also exploring the most carefully.
As usual, I took out the monster hunting powder and sprinkled it into the air, but an accident happened. The monster hunting powder seemed to feel something, gathered on the ground, showing the footprints of the demon. Looking at the footprints, it was probably the giant-eyed ape rat.
The two looked at each other and prepared to evacuate outside the garbage dump to seek support, because they didn't know how many giant-eyed ape rats were gathered in the garbage dump now.
They can deal with it with it less, but it will definitely not work if there are too many. Even timid demons will be brave if there are too many.
However, facts often go against people's ideas.
Two scarlet beams of light shot from the direction of the garbage dump towards the position where the two were standing.
Feeling a strong sense of danger, the two rolled to the ground and avoided the attack.
Then the two looked at the garbage dump in the distance, and saw that there was a pupil covered with bloodshot on the garbage dump, and its pupils were different from that of ordinary giant-eyed ape rats. Its pupils were roughly shaped like ∞, as if they were about to split into two, and there was a crazier saliva on their mouths, and the giant-eyed ape rats, which were a circle bigger than ordinary giant-eyed ape rats, looked at them eagerly.
Looking at the strange appearance of the giant-eyed ape mouse, the two frowned.
"Ice-Frozen"
Although he was caught off guard just now, Mu Bai still reacted quickly.
I saw frost begins to appear under the feet of the giant-eyed ape rat, but it just jumped to the side and left Mu Bai's magical attack range.
Then the giant-eyed ape mouse rushed towards the two at a speed of 30 meters per second, and at the same time, scarlet beams continued to emit from their pupils.
"Ground waves - move, run, white ice."
Du Yunbo also completed the star track at this time, and Mu Bai felt that the ground under his feet seemed to move.
With the bonus of ground wave-shift, the two began to run and avoid the attack of the giant-eyed ape rat, but their speed was still slower than the giant-eyed ape rat. Even if Mu Bai was constantly harassing the ice vines, this could only cause a little obstacle for it. The main reason was that the giant-eyed ape rat was extremely fast and had a strong sense of crisis. It often left his attack range when Mu Bai just released his magic.
Du Yunbo was fully controlling the movement of the ground.
Fortunately, Mu Bai has a high spiritual realm, and can see the movements of the giant-eyed ape rat clearly, and can use it with all his heart, which allows him to easily release magic while running.
What Mu Bai had to do next was to predict, so Mu Bai reduced the release rate of ice vines and began to calculate in his mind.
The giant-eyed ape rat kept approaching Mu Bai and Du Yunbo. Frost appeared at its feet from time to time, and of course the ground collapsed.
As both sides kept getting closer, Mu Bai found the right time, stopped and turned around.
"Ice-Frozen"
This time, the ice vine was released accurately at its feet the moment the giant-eyed ape mouse landed on the ground.
When it landed, the frost quickly climbed up its limbs, but before Mu Bai could fill up an ice vine, the speed of the giant-eyed ape rat was almost unaffected, and the frost was also broken in an instant.
"Damn, what level of giant-eyed ape rat is this? This thing is not the slave's advancement period, it's too fake."
Mu Bai also swears in a rare manner, and curses and puts an ice vine on the spot - after it condenses, it turns and runs away.
A blizzard blocked the giant-eyed ape rat. However, to Mu Bai's disappointment, the giant-eyed ape rat directly crossed the blizzard without any obstacles.
At this time, Mu Bai suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Since the ice vine cannot stop its pace, use the ground wave - sinking.
Conscious Mu Bai said to Du Yunbo anxiously, "Old Du, wait, you will release the ground waves when I release the ice vine and control it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but now I'm manipulating the ground waves - shifting, and I can only complete the star track after I stop later."
"Okay, I'll buy time."
Then, through calculations, Mu Bai released the ice vines at the foot of the giant-eyed ape rat, but this time the ice vines only frozen the ground and created an ice surface.
After landing, the giant-eyed ape rat could not retract its strength. When the foot slipped, it fell violently and rolled forward. After stopping, the giant-eyed ape rat stood firm, shook its head, and woke up.
