600: First appearance

Chapter 600: First Glimpse of Prominence

"What's wrong? Don't underestimate our team! This is the first batch of teams! You could even say it's among the first few!" Thrace said with a smile to Ye Zian, "You know, the Demon Exorcist Team actually originated from me!"

Thrace said meaningfully, "And don't you think this name is great! It even has a sense of 'origin,' and it's easy to remember! Just tell me if it leaves a deep impression on people!"

"..."

It certainly does leave a deep impression.

Ye Zian was a bit speechless, but what he didn't know was that what Thrace said was indeed true.

The Demon Exorcist Team truly did originate from him.

Don't let him looking like a handsome man in his thirties or forties fool you.

In reality, he has lived for hundreds of years.

Including Lily-jie, as demon people, their lifespan is not short.

As for technology, in fact, the technological development of this world is very slow and severely unbalanced.

Coupled with the existence of gods and demons, and the Inner World and evil demons.

This world has existed for many, many years, but even now, the technological level in reality is roughly equivalent to Earth's around 2005-2010.

"Alright, follow me." Thrace said to Ye Zian, walking inside.

Ye Zian obediently followed behind Thrace, but he looked back and saw that Lily-jie was still leisurely in the car and had not gotten out.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't ask, as it had already been said that this mission was very simple because of him.

He probably thought Thrace could handle it alone and was just bringing him along to gain experience.

"Do you see it? That is the [gap cocoon]." Thrace suddenly said to Ye Zian.

Ye Zian looked in the direction Thrace pointed, and hundreds of meters away, he saw a blood-red cocoon standing there, about one meter tall.

"Under normal circumstances, the [gap cocoon] is a special product formed by the [gap] where the Inner World and reality intersect, combined with the power of evil demons, which corrodes and condenses to create it.

As long as it is destroyed, a huge surge of evil demon power will erupt, and a [gap] will be created, simultaneously gathering many evil demons. Once all of them are eliminated, this [gap] will be considered resolved." Thrace explained to Ye Zian, also teaching him how to conduct "demon exorcism."

"Understood..." Ye Zian nodded slightly.

"Of course, this time we have a clear objective. Every [gap] is different, some good, some bad. This time, ours is relatively good and very clear, with a [gap cocoon] directly present there. Furthermore, judging by the magic fluctuations and influence, the overall scale is not large." Thrace continued to Ye Zian:

"However, some are difficult; just finding the [gap] takes a lot of effort, and then finding the [gap cocoon] within the [gap] is also very troublesome!"

"Let's go, we're going over there." Thrace said to Ye Zian, and then walked towards the [gap cocoon].

Ye Zian immediately followed behind, at the same time, he gripped the hilt of his "Flowing Flame" blade on his back with one hand and the grip of his "Black Rhino" gun at his waist with the other.

He was already prepared for battle at all times. To be honest, this was his first actual combat, and it was impossible not to be nervous.

After all, even though he had received some training, he was essentially still an ordinary person who had never truly experienced combat against evil demons.

As they approached, some movement suddenly appeared around them.

Gulu Gulu~

A black substance, like mud and oil, surged on The Ground, and then a familiar figure emerged from within.

"Ha~ Scarecrow!" Ye Zian saw this familiar figure, an old friend, it had been a long time!

Ye Zian didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little excited, perhaps the weapons on him gave him the capital to be "arrogant."

Indeed, human fear comes from insufficient firepower!

"Go!" Thrace patted Ye Zian's butt and said.

"..." Ye Zian flinched from the sudden slap.

He couldn't help but glance resentfully at Thrace. Fortunately, he knew Thrace's orientation, as he was always being playful with Lily-jie.

Ye Zian turned his head and saw three Scarecrows.

As soon as the Scarecrows appeared, they immediately rushed towards him.

Ye Zian fiercely drew the "Black Rhino" from his waist.

Bang! Bang! Bang~!

Beyond seven steps, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is both fast and accurate.

Ye Zian's marksmanship was even faster and more precise.

Both shots hit the head of the first Scarecrow.

The powerful force directly blew its head open, and its entire body crashed to The Ground, then turned into black mist and dispersed.

The remaining two Scarecrows also could not escape.

Ye Zian emptied the magazine.

Three Scarecrows were easily dealt with.

"It's still quite simple!" Ye Zian said to Thrace after eliminating the three Scarecrows.

"Look~" Thrace raised his chin and gestured.

Ye Zian turned his head and saw black mud surging on The Ground, and five more Scarecrows appeared.

He quickly reloaded, but the five Scarecrows were already rushing towards him.

Ye Zian loaded the ammunition and abruptly raised his hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He fired continuously, and the foremost Scarecrow that rushed over was instantly struck down, turning into ashes.

The second one was repelled, but due to the panic and the scattered shots, it luckily wasn't hit in the head for a "critical hit," and the damage wasn't enough to kill it.

Three Scarecrows were forced to stop, and the remaining one, unaffected, charged towards Ye Zian.

Clang!

As Ye Zian coolly holstered his gun, the "Flowing Flame" on his back was abruptly drawn and slashed out.

Pfft!

Like cutting tofu, it directly split the Scarecrow in two.

It was clear that Scarecrows didn't have "blood."

The separated body hadn't even fallen to The Ground before it dissipated into "black mist."

The three Scarecrows that had been forced to stop immediately rushed over as well.

At this moment, Ye Zian took the initiative to step forward and engage in close combat.

His heart pounded violently, and adrenaline surged rapidly.

This was his first actual combat, and he was facing so many Scarecrows.

Before, he had been chased in a sorry state by a few Scarecrows.

But now! Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong! (A Chinese idiom meaning fortunes reverse)

Let alone thirty years, not even three months had passed!

He had already completed his "comeback"!

This undoubtedly made him incredibly excited!

More importantly, he was now truly, completely facing this "bizarre and motley" world!

"Hooah!" Ye Zian roared, and with a fierce swing of his sword, he split the Scarecrow in front of him.

Within a few breaths, he had already dealt with these five Scarecrows.

"Not bad, not bad! Well done!" Thrace applauded Ye Zian with a smile from behind.

"Phew~" Ye Zian looked at the five Scarecrows that had been dealt with, and couldn't help but let out a deep breath, then he remembered Thrace's teaching, which was to always keep ammunition full!

So he re-sheathed his sword and took out his revolver to reload.

"You need to be quicker! The more troublesome guys are coming." Thrace said to Ye Zian with a smile from the side.
