How Come These Monsters Have Health Bars

Chapter 221: Hidden monster, call from Jiuri

The dark alley in Beicheng is actually an old alley that has been around for nearly a hundred years.

Compared with the old city of Xicheng, which is a modern unfinished project, the dark alley has a long history.

However, in terms of environmental conditions, the dark alleys are a lot worse.

Inside and outside the dark alleys are quite classical old urban and rural-style grey-tiled houses.

Due to their age and disrepair, most of these old houses are in disrepair.

Some houses simply collapsed in pieces, with a wall or even a roof, barely standing there as if it might collapse at any time.

Before Li Jing crossed over, these dark alleys were all dilapidated buildings.

Beicheng is a suburb.

The dark alley is located on the border of the North City, and no developers are attracted to it.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

The outside world is developing rapidly, and the residents who originally lived here naturally moved out one after another, renting and selling their old houses at extremely low value.

In the beginning, the dark alleys were the places where the low-level migrant workers lived together.

I don't know when it started, the dark alley has become a realm where bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the North City mingle.

But don't say it.

People who hang out in the dark alleys have a tacit understanding with each other and rarely conflict.

It's not that these people have no temper, it's that the dark alley can't stand the toss.

This **** place has been broken into this virtue, and if it is broken again, there is really no way to fool people.

Similar to the old city of Xicheng, most of the houses in the dark alley are used to open shops and run some less serious businesses.

Li Jing entered the dark alley along the outer street, and quickly found the Cheng and Human Supplies store at the entrance of the dark alley according to the positioning given by Yi Xiuzhu.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Jing saw Yi Xiuzhu sitting at the counter with a poker face that had never changed.

He was the only one in the entire store.

Seeing someone come in, Yi Xiuzhu nodded.

Li Jing smiled upon seeing this.

Looking back, he glanced at the dark alleyway outside where people walked from time to time, and then looked at a doll at the door of the store that was obviously leaking. I don't know if it was a doll that was played badly or was simply of poor quality. Li Jing pretended to be a guest and came with a weird look. in front of the counter.

"Xiuzhu, is you alone here?"

"The area of ​​the dark alley is not small. There are more than 30 people in our group, and the others are trying to find out information elsewhere."

Yi Xiuzhu said, and then said in a tone similar to reading.

"The proprietress of this store is an acquaintance of mine. I'm temporarily here to help see the store and ask for some news. She will not be here, I don't know when..."

Before he finished speaking, there were two thumps in a cabinet behind him, and a few "uuuuu" could be heard vaguely, which sounded like a woman's voice.

Li Jing was stunned when he heard the sound, frowned and looked over.

Yi Xiuzhu turned his head to look at him, looking back without changing his face.

"Don't worry too much, there are many mice in the dark alley, and there is just one in the cabinet."

"..."

Li Jing.

Yi Xiuzhu really can't lie.

He wanted to say that there were acquaintances elsewhere, but Li Jing believed it if he really believed it.

After all, the family's club business is very big, and the way is not ordinary.

But to say that there is an acquaintance in the dark alley, Li Jing will definitely not believe it.

Most of the people who hang out in the dark alleys are not on the stage, and they can't climb up the relationship with the Yi Xiuzhu family.

Based on what Li Jing knew about Yi Xiuzhu, there is a 90% chance that the one who was locked in the cabinet was the "acquaintance" the proprietress he called.

This is also the style of Yixiu Bamboo.

This buddy has always been a ruthless man and likes to go sideways with his sword, and his way of thinking is different from ordinary people.

The proprietress of an adult and human supply store who is located at the entrance of a dark alley and can peep into and out of the crowd is "imprisoned", and the store is temporarily taken as her own. Normal undercover personnel will definitely not be able to do such a thing.

But when it comes to Yi Xiuzhu, as long as he feels the need, he will do it.

While speechless, Yi Xiuzhu asked.

"Why did you suddenly come to the dark alley? For the Monster Federation?"

"Ok."

Li Jing responded and said.

"I went to the Intelligence Department in the morning and heard from Yangcheng that you were in a dark alley. Come and have a look, and then I'll do some investigation myself."

Yi Xiuzhu's way of thinking is different, but not abnormal.

Hearing what Li Jing said, he immediately understood that someone was not acting as an inspector of the Sixth Group of Serious Cases, but was conducting an investigation in private.

After a moment of silence, he whispered.

"I only came here last night, and I haven't collected the relevant information yet. But I heard something from the guests. In the dark alley, there is a five-level monster who is proficient in disguise and can't even detect it. It has been more than 50 years. I have not yet figured out who it is. I have asked many people about this, but they have only heard about it and cannot confirm it. If this monster can be found, maybe it will be from his mouth. Get some information."

Li Jing frowned slightly when he heard the words.

A big demon who has lived in the dark alley for more than fifty years, this can be called the elder of the dark alley.

He must be very familiar with things in and out of the dark alley.

If you can find him, maybe you can really learn some accidents from his mouth.

However, being proficient in camouflage can't even be detected by demons, which is a bit too mysterious.

Between demons and demons, they can sense each other without facing each other.

The realm gap is not big, and it can even clearly sense what kind of cultivation and species the other party is.

This is not something that can be fooled by means of disguise.

In this world, are there any demons who can prevent other demons from discovering themselves?

Li Jing couldn't grasp it.

Without thinking much, he looked at Yi Xiu Zhudao.

"I'll go out and see if I can learn anything."

"Row."

Yi Xiuzhu nodded and said.

"I have a task at hand. I am using a high-precision motion detector to collect data on the appearance and signs of people entering and leaving the dark alley. I will not accompany you."

"It's okay, I'll do it alone."

Li Jing smiled, and then looked at the doll that was leaking at the door.

Just now, he felt that this doll was not right. It was obviously leaking but not completely deflated. A high-precision motion detector was stuffed inside his feelings.

...

Saying goodbye to Yi Xiuzhu, Li Jing walked into the dark alley alone.

After walking a few steps, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated continuously.

Subconsciously taking out the phone, Li Jing frowned slightly.

The screen of the mobile phone showed that it was a video call from Jiuri.

Why did Jiuri suddenly call?

Didn't she say she would come tomorrow?

But this call came at a good time.

Zhengchou doesn't know if there are any demons in the world that can hide from other demons' perceptions, so you can ask Jiuri.

Among the demons Li Jing knew, Jiuri was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable one.

After all, people have high cultivation bases and live longer.

The cultivation speed of monsters is much slower than that of humans.

A normal five-level demon is conservatively estimated to be a hundred years old.

In the later stage of the Six Realms like Jiuli, it is impossible to run to the age of two hundred.

Carnivorous monsters quickly improve by eating the flesh and blood of monsters in the same realm, that's another story.

Demons living in human society rarely have the opportunity to buy the flesh and blood of monsters in the same realm, and those who have the capital to eat the flesh and blood of high-level monsters are extremely wealthy.

As for hunting by yourself, the risk is too great.

If you are not careful, you may be killed, and if you make too much noise, you will be watched by inspections.

Forget about these.

Seeing that there was a video call on the phone, Li Jing chose to hang up the call and dialed the voice call.

The call was just dialed, and it was answered immediately.

Then, Jiuri's displeased voice came.

"Why did you hang up my video call? Shy?"

"It will be inconvenient for me."

Li Jing responded.

"That's really a pity, it's rare that I dressed up specially."

Kuri hummed and said something.

"I have booked my flight ticket. The flight at ten o'clock tomorrow morning will be at Jianghaicheng Airport at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. You promised to treat me well, and remember to pick me up when you arrive."

Li Jing smiled when he heard the sound.

It's okay to pick up...

When you are not familiar with it, the words and deeds of this fox have the taste of senior masters.

After a little familiarity, she is not like that at all, is there?

Shaking his head, Li Jing said.

"We, Jianghai, have confirmed that there is a branch of the Monster Federation. I am participating in the investigation and may not be free tomorrow."

"Tsk."

Jiuri licked her lips.

"So, you mean to say that you don't have time to entertain me?"

"No, I'm just not sure if I have time to pick up the plane, and the ninth brother will definitely not be left behind."

Li Jing responded and said.

"Ninth brother, just tell me the address of the hotel you booked, wait for me to free up..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiuri said.

"I didn't book a hotel."

"..."

Li Jing.

Didn't book a hotel?

Before he could think about it, Jiuri hummed.

"Do you know how expensive it is to book a hotel in Jianghai? I earn a lot as a painter, but the salary is only ordinary. With the current state of the capital, we have to wait for the wind to calm down. At least I can live in Jianghai for two or three months. How big is the cost?"

After speaking, she said again.

"You want to treat me well. Of course I'm staying at your house when I'm there, and there's no need to book a hotel, right?"

"..."

Li Jing was speechless.

This fox first cried with him to be poor, and then naturally said that he wanted to live in his house. This operation directly made him impossible.

There is an empty room in his house now.

After all, he no longer shared a room with Liu Sisi.

But the two rooms are adjacent to each other!

How annoying is this?

Jiuri said that she would only stay for one or two days, so if she stayed for two days, she would only stay for two days.

To live for two or three months, who can afford it?

After a while of silence, Li Jing said.

"Ninth brother, I'm from the family. It's not suitable for you to live in my house. Otherwise, I'll buy a house for you directly."

"I do not!"

Jiuri snorted, and then let out a surprised voice.

"Wait! What did you just say? You're giving me a house, not a hotel?"

"Yes, I'll give you a set."

Li Jing responded.

To him today, a house is nothing.

And in fact, the flesh and blood of the monsters he was going to hand over to Jiuli was much more expensive than a house.

Give Jiuri a set to save her from making tricks.

Although Jiuri said it as if it really happened, Li Jing would definitely not believe her if she was so poor that she couldn't even afford to live in a hotel.

Her ordinary house in Guodu is located in the center of the city close to the Guodu spirit market, at least it can be worth 100 million.

Can this fox be short of money?

On the other end of the phone, Jiuri got a positive response and said happily.

"Oh, how embarrassing is this? But since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly accept it. Remember to keep the house closer to your home. If I want to live comfortably, I will just sign a peace treaty in Jianghai and settle down."

Saying that, she laughed again.

"Anyway, my ID card in the capital can't be used by men, so it's more convenient to re-register my identity in another place. When you have a difficult case, such as another six-level monster to kill, you can ask me for more help. help or something."

Li Jing twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

He had heard from the beginning that Jiuri was doing tricks, but he was too lazy to guess.

This time, Jiuri revealed himself.

Ah, I have tasted the sweetness, and I want to come to Jianghai to take root and take advantage of him!

In this regard, Li Jing did not know how to feel.

Main Kuri is too real!

It is also a fox demon at the level of a big demon, and Yu Lian is also very happy with the benefits he gave him, but at least people are waiting for him to deliver it to the door.

However, this one is "taking the initiative" and intends to settle in Jianghai.

However, Jiuli really wanted to come to Jianghai to settle down, and Li Jing did not reject it.

Fox demon, quite easy to "use".

Although compared to Yu Lian, who is mainly attacking charm, Jiuri's ability in this area is a bit inferior, but he can play a big role when necessary.

Moreover, Yu Lian lives in Dongcheng after all, so it is troublesome to go there every time.

If there is a fox demon in the later stage of the Six Realms that can be used at any time, it is indeed a beautiful thing.

back.

When he gives Jiuli the promised monster flesh and blood, she may be able to enter the seventh realm before long, and then there will be a seven realm monster that can be used.

This deal is not a loss.

This is something that is difficult for Chen Jing to explain.

Even if he kidnapped a fox demon and came back, he also rectified the seven realms.

This kind of rank is good for the country. For a suburb of Jianghai like Beicheng, even if a peace treaty is signed, it is a threat that cannot be ignored.

Considering this, Li Jing spoke up.

"Ninth brother, you are only one step away from the seventh realm. After I promised you the flesh and blood of these monsters, you may have the ability to break through after a while of hard work. I don't know if you are ready to cross the calamity. ?"

As soon as the words were finished, Jiuri said speechlessly.

"I have to prepare for the calamity, why do I have to run to Jianghai to settle down with a shy face and point to you to support me?"

After all, she muttered to herself.

"Our monsters are far more dangerous than your cultivators. After all, unlike your cultivators, we can rely on foreign objects, spells and even formations~www.wuxiahere.com~ We completely resist and die violently. The odds are many times higher than yours. Without complete preparation and accumulation, how could the Six Realm Great Demon dare to say that he will transcend the calamity?"

The corner of Li Jing's mouth twitched as he greeted Jiuli's sentence "point to you to support me".

This guy, really didn't hide it!

Listening to her follow-up words, Li Jing really understood the reason why she said she wanted to settle in Jianghai.

Jiuli was not sure of surviving the calamity, thinking that he, a person who would fatten the demon, would make a lot of money around him.

Knowing the key here, Li Jing didn't think much about it.

Without letting the topic continue, Li Jing spoke.

"Ninth brother, I have something I want to ask you, are there any demons who are proficient in disguise among your monsters and have the ability to hide the perception of other monsters?"

"Of course there is."

Kuri responded, saying.

"Our monsters have a variety of talents, strong and weak. To a certain extent, the innate ability of monsters is the magic you cultivate. It's just that our talents cannot be learned, but rely on acquired awakening. Talent is not only a thing It is limited to the inherently stronger abilities of our respective species. During the years of practice, it is possible to awaken new talents at any time.”

After ranting about it, she continued.

"This kind of camouflage ability like you mentioned is relatively rare. If it is innate, most of it comes from monsters with strong camouflage ability in nature, such as chameleons. If you take the factor of acquired awakening into account , this is not accurate. What I can tell you is that if this kind of ability is tempered to a high level, it can even disguise the demonic energy in the body as aura to the extent that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. It's a monster, no one can tell that he is a monster."
