84: Section 84

“After saying that, the passerby left in a huff.”

“When you heard that the County Magistrate of Linjiang County’s only daughter had been captured, you immediately understood that the passerby’s words were not false.”

“You then walked all the way to the County Government.”

“Since his only daughter was captured, the bounty from the County Government must be considerable.”

“You are currently penniless, so you can take on this bounty.”

“By the time you arrived at the County Government, it was already dusk, and the clouds were edged with gold.”

“Seeing you approach, the two constables guarding the gate immediately stopped you.”

“Where did this kid come from? If you have business, come back tomorrow!”

“Upon seeing this, you immediately stated your purpose.”

“I have come here regarding the Demon outside the city.”

“After speaking, you walked to a stone lion in front of the County Government gate, circulated your True Qi, and easily lifted the stone lion with one hand.”

“You did this to reduce a lot of trouble.”

“People are often shortsighted, and showing some true skill will speed up the process.”

“Indeed, after seeing you do this, the eyes of the County Government constables widened.”

“Great Hero, Great Hero!”

“Please don’t leave, I will go report to the master immediately.”

“After speaking, the two constables swiftly ran into the County Government.”

“You, on the other hand, gently placed the stone lion in the center of the County Government gate.”

“At this moment, Wang Qinghe, along with the county assistant, county commandant, and other officials, rushed over. When they saw that the stone lion had been moved, they immediately cupped their hands towards you.”

“Greetings, Great Hero. This humble official, Wang Qinghe, apologizes for the late welcome. Please forgive me.”

“Seeing your objective achieved, you kicked the stone lion back to its original position.”

“I came here for the bounty on the Demon outside the city.”

“How much are you willing to pay?”

“Upon hearing that you were after the bounty, all the officials immediately showed expressions of relief.”

“It’s good that you want the bounty! The previous few masters who didn’t want a bounty all ended up feeding the Demon. Those who are willing to take a bounty must have real skill!”

“Wang Qinghe then extended five fingers.”

“Great Hero, five thousand taels!”

“But I have a blood feud with this Demon!”

“As long as you eliminate this Demon, I can personally offer an additional one thousand taels as a token of my appreciation!”

“When you heard six thousand taels, you were very satisfied with the amount.”

“These six thousand taels are enough for you to live on.”

“Good! In that case, I will go meet that Demon!”

Chapter 89: Heading to Black Wind Stronghold, Wang Qinghe’s Only Daughter Is Not Dead!

“As night fell, the officials in the County Government kept you for the night.”

“And prepared a lavish banquet for you.”

Looking at the people in the picture clinking cups with him, Su Mo recognized them all; they were officials who had come to show support during the day.

He had even gone over to toast them.

Thinking about how the simulation so easily simulated everything about them.

Su Mo couldn’t help but exclaim.

This “love affair life” is indeed Heaven-Defying.

…

“Early the next morning, after preparing what you needed, you set off.”

“Because you were in a hurry, Wang Qinghe directly gave you the fastest horse in the County Government.”

“Although it was not as fast as your Red Horse, it could still travel six hundred li a day.”

“After leaving the city, you galloped in the direction of Black Wind Mountain as they had told you.”

“Along the way, there was literally ‘a thousand li without smoke,’ and not even half a person was seen.”

“You have already sensed that the harm caused by this Demon is extremely deep.”

“If it continues to develop like this, the people in Linjiang County will probably all be eaten by it.”

“It was already noon when you arrived at Black Wind Mountain. Even with the midday sun shining, you couldn’t feel the slightest warmth.”

“You only felt that the entire Black Wind Mountain was covered in dark clouds, and the Yin Qi was chilling.”

“As you entered the mountain, the bones by the roadside gradually increased. The bones were not complete, and there were still rough tooth marks on them.”

“You thought these must be the people who suffered at the hands of the Demon.”

“Although you were not related to these people, and you came for the bounty this time, anger still inevitably rose in your heart.”

“You wished you could immediately tear that Demon into ten thousand pieces.”

…

Su Mo looked at Black Wind Mountain in the picture, which had undergone drastic changes since his simulation with Guo Lin, and couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

Could this Black Bear Demon have already transformed into human form?

If he had transformed into human form, would his simulated self still be his opponent?

Thinking of this, Su Mo shook his head.

Never mind.

If he could win, that would be even better. If he couldn’t, there was no need to dwell on it, as he had an unlimited number of simulations.

In the next two months, he would try to simulate more to obtain talent rewards.

By then, even if Fahai couldn’t help, he could still take Madam Huang and the others and flee far away.

…

“When you arrived at Black Wind Stronghold, you found that it had long become a burial ground.”

“All that remained were scattered white bones lying crisscross.”

“Among them were many scattered weapons and strange Magical Artifacts. Although you didn’t know what these Magical Artifacts were for, you understood that they must have been brought by those masters.”

“But their skills were inferior to the Demon’s, and they were eaten by the Demon instead.”

“You picked up a Deep Blue long sword and held it in your hand. This long sword was light and hard, and it was the only one among all the knives, swords, and various strange weapons that had no nicks.”

“It must be a precious sword.”

“Although you didn’t know its name, you knew that its former owner was by no means an ordinary person.”

“You picked up many throwing darts and caltrops from beside the bones and put them into your pouch. These were common hidden weapons used by Jianghu practitioners, and now they allowed you to replenish your equipment.”

“However, in your opinion, with Empress Goddess Skill having reached Major Achievement, this precious sword and these hidden weapons were merely icing on the cake.”

“You began to search for the Demon’s tracks, searching all the way to a prison cell.”

“And in this prison cell, you found three emaciated young men and women, all lying weakly against the mountain rocks on the ground.”

“Seeing you arrive, the three young men and women immediately perked up, their eyes filled with a strong desire to live.”

“Great Hero, save me, save me!”

“Save us! Great Hero!”

“…”

“You looked at the three people in front of you, then cut the iron lock of the prison cell and released them.”

“Seeing that they were very hungry, you gave them your water pouch, which you carried to quench thirst and fill hunger, filled with fermented glutinous rice with rock sugar.”

“You each take a sip first; I have something to ask you later.”

“The three people, who had not eaten or drunk for many days, drank the fermented glutinous rice with rock sugar and felt as if it were a sweet dew, their bodies being nourished somewhat.”

“Thank you, Great Hero, thank you, Great Hero!”

“The three did not dare to disobey your command and each took a big sip.”

“Seeing that the three’s complexions had slightly improved, you began to inquire.”

“I ask you, have you seen the Demon in this mountain?”

“The three immediately nodded.”

“Many Great Heroes and masters came a few days ago, but they were all eaten by that Demon.”

“It seems that Demon was practicing some Demonic Technique and had eaten enough people.”

“That’s why the three of us were spared.”

“But precisely because it no longer needed us, that Demon never came to deliver food again, and we thought we would starve to death in this cell.”

“Upon hearing this, your heart jolted. If this Demon had achieved Major Achievement in some Demonic Technique, would you not be his opponent?”

“Tell me specifically what this Demon looks like.”

“The only woman among the three spoke.”

“This Demon was initially covered in black fur, like a large black bear.”

“But later, its fur became less and less. I remember the last time I saw him seven days ago, he had completely transformed into a human appearance, like a large man with a lot of body hair.”

“Moreover, after this Demon turned into a human, the way he looked at me also changed, from food to another look full of desire.”

“But because I was too thin and my appearance became very ugly, I was not captured by this Demon.”

“Upon hearing that the Demon had transformed into human form, you felt a little flustered.”

“When you were a child, you had read a book of exotic creatures that said Demons who had transformed into human form were the most terrifying and powerful.”

“Even the most powerful Great Hero in this world would not be an opponent of such a Demon.”

“Of course, it said completely transformed into human form, without any trace of its original animal appearance.”

“Thinking that this Demon had only recently taken on human form a few days ago, you still felt somewhat lucky.”

“After all, your Empress Goddess Skill reached Major Achievement at the age of twenty-three, which was unprecedented and will be unmatched.”

“Such a Demon is nothing to fear.”

“Thinking of this, you looked at the three.”

“I will go find that Demon later. You three finish drinking this fermented glutinous rice with rock sugar and go down the mountain to find a way to live.”

“Just as you were about to leave, the woman among the three asked.”

“When you came, did you see my father?”

“Who is your father?”

“My father is Wang Qinghe!”

“Upon hearing that this woman was actually Wang Qinghe’s beloved daughter, you couldn’t help but be surprised.”

“She’s actually County Magistrate Wang’s daughter.”

“He thinks you’re dead now. It’s good now, you can go home safely, he’ll probably be very surprised.”

“Upon hearing your words, Wang Qinghe’s daughter burst into tears.”

“Thank you, benefactor, for reuniting our family!”

“It’s nothing.”

“Just have your father give me an extra thousand taels of silver then.”
