Chapter 63 The Demon Hunting Family
The bones have been connected, but they will not be as intact as before. Jia Huan will not do this, and everything has to be processed, just like he is the same with Elizabeth. It’s not that he can’t do it, but that he doesn’t want to do it overnight. Now at least women can limp around.
"My brother--" Seeing that Jia Huan had picked up her legs and was about to leave, the woman couldn't help but say to Jia Huan, "Please, I only have such a relative in this world."
Jia Huan really stopped, looked at the woman and said, "Let's make a deal."
"You said, as long as I can do it, I promise I will-" the woman agreed without hesitation, glanced at her younger brother who had turned into an ice sculpture. Her own hands no longer felt paralyzed. It was probably the role of the golden rune that flashed in the air.
"Tell me what you know, including your identity." Jia Huan said seriously.
It's that simple?
The woman was surprised and looked at Jia Huan in disbelief and nodded. She was really afraid that Jia Huan would suddenly repent, and said, "Of course, I agree, I will tell you everything I know."
The woman's name is Lily Steven, and Hill Steven is a sibling. Their family immigrated as early as the American colonial era. They have been living in Virginia, and when they were in the UK they were engaged in the profession of witch hunters. In this wild America, this profession is very popular. Their family has developed very strongly.
But... with the development of the times, the progress of war, the emergence of the industrial age, the family has become differentiated, and a considerable number of people are not interested in the poor and dangerous profession of demon hunting. To this day, only the father of the two siblings can be inherited. However, his father died during a demon hunting process, so it was their turn.
"Why did you track down Ramia?" Jia Huan asked the most critical question. He only injured this monster when he flew his sword three times. This was an incredible thing. This was the first time he encountered it in such a long time.
"Because Lamiya has a fatal flaw, that is, it needs to evolve continuously, and every evolution will be accompanied by some strange phenomena." The woman said, "The reason we can track it here is because there are strange phenomena on Harold."
"What kind of vision?" Jia Huan couldn't help but be stunned. If the vision was obvious, why didn't he feel it?
"There have been zombies here, right?" the woman looked at Jia Huan, "This kind of thing cannot be hidden. Even if there is no official media report, it is impossible to completely block the news."
Jia Huan couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Yes, this kind of thing is not something that the FBI can block. So... it's because of this you came here?"
"Yes, there is that fish, you know, that huge catfish, you killed, right? I guess so." The woman continued to smile as if she was mocking, "If this is not a vision, then what is a vision? And... Just when we arrived in Laredo, my brother discovered a strange phenomenon. It seemed that there were other interesting species here."
An interesting species? Jia Huan couldn't help but laugh. This world is indeed full of surprises.
"Werewolf, vampire, I didn't expect that in this place in Texas, we encountered such magical things one after another, which also made us very interested." The woman continued, "And the zombie thing is not that simple. We guessed that it might have something to do with Ridze Wood. But this person seemed to have disappeared and we couldn't find any information."
The woman seemed to have said a lot of things, but there was nothing that Jia Huan needed. If he didn't eat this, he said calmly: "I just want to know, how do you know that he is from Lamia?"
"Because of a dead tree and grass in the woods," the woman said, "Only Lamia's blood is so toxic. We saw it by the lake. At that time, I was wondering, who could hurt Lamia who had evolved into a half-human and a half-snake? Now I know that there may be no one else in this world except for you."
Jia Huan couldn't help but nod. He remembered that the blood spilled out when he injured Lamia for the first time, causing the trees and grass to die. It turned out that it was this one who let them know about Lamia's existence.
"And... Lamia needs to continue to evolve, so she must find werewolf and aliens. Only by eating them can it evolve quickly, and finally become humanoids, and it will become even more powerful..." The woman continued, "And the greatest ability of our demon hunting family is to be able to identify those aliens in the crowd."
This is easy to explain. Jia Huan nodded and said, "I have always known that there are demon hunters in the United States. I admire such people very much. How do you rely on to defeat monsters like Lamia? You must know... it is not easy to defeat it."
"This is the secret of our family. Do you need to say this?" The woman looked at Jia Huan.
Jia Huan thought about it and shook his head: "No need."
As he said that, he walked to the ice sculpture of Hill Steven, closed his eyes slightly, flipped his palm, and suddenly a ball of fire jumped out of his hand. The ball of fire suddenly seemed to have life, and instantly flew out, covering Hill Steven's whole body.
Suddenly, Hill Steven's ice sculptures all over his body seemed to be wiped out. However, his whole body fell softly to the ground and did not move.
This made the woman a little worried. She limped over, squatted down barely, and looked at Hill Steven. Although she did not wake up, her breathing was very smooth, which showed that he was not in danger of life. She couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.
"Uh... the last question. Why does your brother seem to be older than you? How old are you? Well... If this question is included, you can answer it, and of course, you can also refuse." Jia Huan smiled at her, spread his hands, and said that he didn't care.
"Because the men in our family are all old-fashioned, and the education they receive and their dress make them look old-fashioned, and in fact they are very old-fashioned people... so is my father." The woman said, looking down at Hill Steven on the ground, "and... they like this, too."
As she said that, she gently stretched out her hand to touch Hill Steven's forehead. She looked at his face and was a little dazed.
When she looked up, she found that the surroundings were empty, and Jia Huan had disappeared at some point. Only the wind blew from the woods, making her thinking more and more clear.
I was so blank that I didn't know how long I thought about it, but suddenly a faint voice came from my side: "Lily-Thank you. Did you save me?"
The woman turned her head and saw Hill Steven who was already sitting on the ground.
"Yes, it's me. The one who really saved you is Mr. Jia." The woman walked over, squatted down, reached out her hand, and gently touched Hill Steven's face, and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "But... I hope you can follow me to Harold Town, for nothing else, just to say sorry to Elizabeth."
"Do you have to do this?" Hill Steven looked at the woman.
"Yes, you must do this, not for anything else, for you not to hurt a girl's heart, nor for people not to think you are a complete bastard. Do you know? Especially don't let Mr. Jia think you are a bastard." The woman said with a serious expression, "Tomorrow, we will go to Harold Town."
"It was Mr. Jia who saved me?" Hill Steven looked at her unhappy face and shrugged her shoulders and said, "Okay... I understand." As he said that, he wanted to stand up, but just as he stood still, his legs were weak, he almost fell to the ground. However, the woman helped her to hold her back.
"We have to leave here quickly." The woman looked at the mess all over the ground, "I guess the police will find out about the situation here tomorrow morning. Let's go and leave this damn place!" As she said that, the siblings supported each other and slowly left the place.
Hill Steven's car was parked in the woods not far away. The two found it, driven by the woman, and were able to move the car and disappeared into the darkest time before dawn.
