This kind of ruthless Demon should be crushed to ashes. Xiang Xueer felt a surge of hot blood rushing to her head, and she quickly shook her head vigorously. Taotie noticed her unusual expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
She took a deep breath and finally suppressed that impulse. It was strange; every time she saw bloodshed and killing, she would feel this way. Could it be an illness?
"Nothing's wrong. Let's hurry back! It's almost dawn!" Xiang Xueer quickly mounted Taotie's back, and the two headed towards Exorcism Village.
A black shadow appeared on the ground as Thousand Demons emerged, looking at the deeply buried Ten Thousand Ghosts in the soil. It let out a sorrowful roar: "Ten Thousand Ghosts brother, I will avenge you!"
It glared at Xiang Xueer's retreating figure: " Exorcist girl, I will use your blood to Sacrifice my deceased brother."
By dawn, Xiang Xueer successfully brought the meteorite back to Lian Cheng Xue's yard. She reached out and patted Taotie on the forehead: "Thank you, my good partner. You can return to the Void Realm now."
Taotie nodded and disappeared in a swirl of white mist: "Don't forget what you promised me!"
Xiang Xueer pouted; she didn't expect that their first collaboration would be so harmonious. Who knows, they might become quite the team in the future.
She reached out to touch the black meteorite when suddenly she heard a clanging sound coming from somewhere in the yard. Curious, she followed the sound and found Lian Cheng Xue, sweating profusely, hammering something with his left hand by the weapon-forging furnace.
"Wow, what are you doing?" Xiang Xueer hurried over, worriedly looking at the wound on his right arm. "Didn't I tell you to rest first?"
Lian Cheng Xue turned to see Xiang Xueer, immediately stopping his work and smiling: "It's fine, it's fine. It's been several days; as long as I don't exert too much effort, I can tolerate this little pain!"
Sigh! The men around her were really something else; they all made her worry less. Xiang Xueer sighed and asked, "What are you working on?"
With a smile, Lian Cheng Xue pulled out a few small red-hot objects from the furnace. He tossed them into water, and with a sizzling sound, thick smoke billowed up. After the steam dissipated, he retrieved the small items from the water and said with a grin: "I tried making it like you said; take a look if this is what you call a bullet."
Xiang Xueer picked up a bullet from the plate and examined it. It seemed to resemble what she described in shape, so she weighed it in her hand: "It seems a bit lighter; maybe if we coat it with silver, it will be closer to what we need!"
"Now I understand!" Lian Cheng Xue turned to look at the AK47 placed aside and couldn't help but exclaim, "The world-famous Fire King is indeed impressive. This thing called a gun is truly amazing. I've studied it for a long time and have never seen such a weapon!"
"Hehe! The Fire King is indeed powerful, and quite attractive too," Xiang Xueer accidentally blurted out, then quickly corrected herself, "Ahem, I meant the gunpowder. The Black Powder he used for me is actually quite similar to ancient fireworks."
Although Lian Cheng Xue was somewhat confused, since the Fire King could create such incredible weapons, he naturally wanted to give it a try. As a fellow Exorcist craftsman, the Fire King was his aspiration.
"Ah! By the way, I have one more thing to trouble you with!" Xiang Xueer suddenly had a brilliant idea and picked up a pen to sketch on paper: "This is called a Grenade. Its function is quite similar. Although ancient times lacked certain tools and materials, we can modify it into an explosive type; just use a Fire Starter to ignite it and it will explode!"
Lian Cheng Xue looked at her sketch in surprise, admiration showing on his face: "Miss Xueer, you are truly remarkable. Not only do you drive away evil spirits, but you also understand weapons!"
"Oh, it's nothing, nothing. Don't praise me so much... I'll get embarrassed!" Xiang Xueer said with a smile while rubbing her nose. Lian Cheng Xue picked up the drawing and nodded seriously: "Yes, I will study this carefully and strive to create what you mentioned as soon as possible!"
"Then thank you for your hard work! But make sure to take breaks too!" Xiang Xueer patted his shoulder. Indeed, a man who loves to learn and study diligently is quite charming. Even though he was missing an arm, wasn't Yang Guo from Jin Yong's novels also an amputee? He still captivated young girls. Hehe, this Lian Cheng Xue is indeed my type.
While Xiang Xueer was happily gazing at the handsome man, on the other side, the headquarters of Duckbill Mountain was already in an uproar.
Inside a giant cave, two pillars at the entrance resembled sharp tiger teeth. At the cave's entrance stood dozens of little demons holding sickles as they walked deeper into the cave. Bakemono lounged in a spacious chair with one leg crossed over the other, leisurely sipping tea from his cup.
"Report, Great Yokai! The second-in-command has returned!" A White Specter hurriedly entered and knelt on the ground to report.
"Oh? My younger brother is back?" Upon hearing this, Bakemono quickly set down his teacup and laughed heartily: "Great! It seems he has captured an Exorcist and returned triumphantly."
As he spoke, he quickly stood up to welcome him. Just as he descended the stairs, he heard Thousand Demons rushing in with cries of distress: "Brother! Brother! Something terrible has happened!"
What could be wrong with Thousand Demons? As soon as he returned, he sounded alarmed. Bakemono hurried over and saw Thousand Demons' cloak tattered and torn. With a thud, he knelt on the ground and clutched Bakemono's leg while crying out: "Brother! I almost didn't get to see you!"
"Second Brother, what happened to you? What on earth is going on?" Bakemono shouted anxiously as it saw him crying without saying a word. "Just tell me!"
Thousand Demons sobbed, raising his head with tearful eyes to look at Bakemono: "That little girl, the Exorcist, killed Third Brother, and I was injured by her too. She broke one of my ribs. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been dead at her hands as well!"
As he spoke, he quickly pulled open his cloak, and sure enough, there was a missing rib on the right side of his chest. The mud all over him suggested that he had just come from a fierce battle.
Bakemono widened its eyes in shock, hardly able to believe it. Ever since the Three Brothers of the Hundred Demons took over Duckbill Mountain ten years ago, they had never encountered an opponent. Their plan to summon the Great Demon King was about to be realized, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin had appeared.
It gritted its teeth, making a grinding sound, and its facial expression began to twitch violently. The cave erupted with a lion-like roar: "That little girl, the Exorcist, I will use your blood to honor my fallen brother!"
"Big Brother! What should we do now?" Thousand Demons slowly stood up, and Bakemono once again revealed an evil and ferocious expression: "Hmph! How dare they provoke me to this extent? I will make them pay in blood!"
Upon hearing this, Thousand Demons quickly stepped forward: "Does Big Brother have a plan to avenge Third Brother?"
"Hmph!" Its cold tone carried a chill as it curled its lips into a ghostly smile: "Have you forgotten what tomorrow is?"
Tomorrow? Thousand Demons suddenly realized as he exchanged glances with his brother: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, when the gates of hell are wide open!"
The Ghost Festival, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, is what people refer to as the Zhongyuan Festival. It is said that on this day, the gates of hell open wide, and various spirits emerge from the Underworld. A conspiracy is brewing while Xiang Xueer and the others remain completely unaware.
"Ah, Handsome Guy!" Xiang Xueer continued to rest her chin on her hand as she watched Lian Cheng Xue studying her blueprints for what she called Black Powder and her Grenade.
