"Captain Guo." Lu Ren ate a plate of fried peanuts that the old postmaster had fried himself with gusto."The wolf demon has escaped. What are your plans next?"
Guo Qi said without hesitation:"Tomorrow we will send the little monkey to a nearby county town to recuperate for a few days. When his injuries have healed, we will return to Huashui County together."
"So you guys gave up on this mission?" Lu Ren was very interested.
Guo Qi felt a little unhappy, thinking that Lu Ren was mocking the incompetence of his team.
"What else can we do if we don't give up? Even if the wolf demon is injured, he is very good at hiding his breath, and we can't find his whereabouts at all.
When he shows up next time, his injuries will have healed, and we can't do anything to him even if we risk our lives.
This task itself is beyond the scope, and a stronger team should be sent to encircle and suppress it."
He spoke a lot in one breath, mainly to tell Lu Ren that they were not cowards who were afraid of death, but they just didn't want to make any more unnecessary sacrifices.
Lu Ren also understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing:"Captain Guo, you misunderstood���"
He explained,"The reason I asked this is, if you give up this mission, I want to know if I can take over?" After the battle with the wolf demon tonight, Lu Ren had basically figured out the opponent's strength and killer moves, and he knew the opponent inside out.
The next time he met it, he was 80% to 90% sure that he could kill it on the spot and plunder the remaining lifespan of the demon.
After hearing this, Guo Qi widened his eyes in astonishment, as if he had heard a fairy tale.
"You said you wanted to take over this task?"
Lu Ren narrowed his eyes:"Why, is it not possible?"
He knew very little about the rules of the Demon Suppression Division, and he really didn't know whether such a request would be approved by the branch manager.
Guo Qi said with a serious face:"You just fought with the wolf demon not long ago, and you have seen how ferocious he is. I admit that you are very talented, and your strength is also better than mine. But with your current cultivation, you can never be the opponent of the wolf demon."
"Even if you accept the mission, what's the difference between this and committing suicide?"
"I can understand young people's eagerness to show off and establish their prestige as soon as possible, but you should at least pick an opponent that suits you, instead of being so greedy and reckless."
Lu Ren threw the last handful of peanuts into the air, then opened his mouth to catch them, chewing them with an expression of great enjoyment.
After eating, he said to Guo Qi:"Captain Guo, I don't think you have enough understanding of my talent."
"What did you say?"
"I said, I will take the life of that wolf demon!"
Guo Qi:"........"
Is this the arrogance of a genius?
I don't know who was shouting for help just now........
Guo Qi would never believe that Lu Ren could improve his strength so much in such a short time that he would have the confidence to face the wolf demon head-on.
Martial arts practice is a process of gradual accumulation and precipitation.
Even the most powerful geniuses have to improve step by step. I have never heard of anyone who can reach the top in one step.
It is simply a foolish dream for a martial artist in the early stage of opening meridians to defeat a big demon in the late stage of spiritual communication!
"Captain Guo, don't worry about my life or death, just tell me whether I can accept this mission or not."
Guo Qi was silent for a while:"The newly joined Demon Suppression Guard has never taken such a dangerous mission. The Demon Suppression Department has never had a similar precedent before. It is very likely that your request will not be approved."
However, he did not say it too absolutely:"Unless......"
When Lu Ren heard that there was a chance, he asked repeatedly,"Unless what? Tell me quickly."
Guo Qi glanced at Lin Jinyan who was sitting opposite him and continued,"As a newcomer, you normally cannot be involved in such a dangerous mission.
Unless someone at the level of a lieutenant guarantees you and takes you to perform the mission as the leader."
Lu Ren immediately understood what he meant.
He looked at Lin Jinyan.
The latter was resting with her eyes closed, and seemed not to have heard the conversation between him and Guo Qi.
"Master Lin?" Lu Ren poked her arm with his finger.
"I can guarantee you."Lin Jinyan opened her eyes and said to Lu Ren expressionlessly:"But I won't help you this time. Whether you can kill the wolf demon and how to kill the wolf demon is up to you."
Lu Ren agreed without hesitation:"It's a deal!"
Seeing his excited expression, Guo Qi pulled the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: Having talent but no self-knowledge will sooner or later kill you because of the word"arrogance".
Lu Ren was in high spirits, eating and drinking, and couldn't stop at all.
On the other hand, Guo Qi had no appetite at all, so he simply turned his head and dozed off with his arm supporting his head.
The three of them sat in the front hall until dawn.
Lu Ren woke up the girl upstairs, and the group continued to set off for Huashui County in a mighty manner. Guo Qi and his companions did not delay and used a carriage to transfer the little monkey to Biyun County, which was the closest to the post station..
This is one of the three counties under the jurisdiction of Huashui County.
After entering the county, Guo Qi immediately found the best local clinic.
Just as he was about to go in, a handsome young man walked out.
The other party looked pale, as if he was very ill.
Moreover, those eyebrows and eyes gave him a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't tell where.
Soon, the young man's figure disappeared in the crowd.
Guo Qi retracted his gaze and didn't pay attention anymore.
After settling the little monkey, he asked the doctor in the clinic:"Who is the young man who went out from here not long ago, and what disease did he have?"
The doctor recalled for a moment and replied:"The man didn't reveal anything, he just came to get a lot of medicinal materials."
Guo Qi's eyes condensed:"What are these medicines used for?"
"It is mainly used to stop bleeding and treat external injuries, speeding up wound healing. The prescription is actually quite ordinary, but the amount he wants is a bit large, and the museum doesn’t have that much, so I asked him to pay a deposit and come back tomorrow to pick up the medicine."
