Chapter 518 Helping to Eliminate Demons
Chapter 518 Helping to Eliminate Demons
Li Zhi was silent for a while, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
After a while, he slowly raised his head and his eyes fell straight on Yan Ji.
Yan Ji seemed to have been waiting for Li Zhi's response. When his eyes met Li Zhi's, a barely perceptible expectation flashed in his eyes.
Li Zhi said in a deep voice, "How about this, Yan Sishou. I'll go with you to see the monster first."
Although Li Zhi knew that Yan Ji would not deceive him in this regard, out of caution, Li Zhi decided to go and take a look at the monster first.
After all, if the monster's strength was really greatly reduced as Yan Ji said, Li Zhi would naturally not hesitate to take action.
But if the monster's strength is not damaged, or its strength can still threaten Li Zhi, then Li Zhi will not take the risk so easily.
Yan Ji naturally understood what Li Zhi meant, but what he said was true, so he was not worried.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, it's settled then! We'll go together later!"
While the two were talking, they had almost finished the food on the table.
Li Zhi didn't hesitate. He stood up and said to Yan Ji, "We've almost finished eating. Chief Yan, how about we go over there now?"
Yan Ji was already more eager than Li Zhi to get rid of the monster as soon as possible. Now that he heard Li Zhi was so enthusiastic, he naturally would not refuse.
So he led Li Zhi towards the location of the monster.
…
"Brother Li, the monster is just ahead!" Yan Ji said, pointing to a forest not far ahead.
Li Zhi nodded when he heard this. He concentrated his mind and performed the Qi-gazing technique.
As his gaze fell on the forest, a strong demonic aura rose from the forest like a black smoke.
Li Zhi was not unfamiliar with the aura of big monsters. He had dealt with many big monsters before.
Therefore, he had some understanding of the demonic aura and breath of the big demon.
It was also because of this that Li Zhi sensed some information from the evil aura.
Judging from the purity of the demonic energy, the monster must be a big demon without a doubt.
However, although the demonic energy is very pure, it exudes a sense of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: It seems that what Yan Ji said is true, this big monster was really seriously injured.
As they gradually approached the forest, the horses ridden by Li Zhi and Yan Ji suddenly became restless.
They neighed and pawed the ground with their hooves, unwilling to move forward.
Li Zhi and Yan Ji both knew that this was because the horse's animal nature sensed the breath of the big monster in front of it and was frightened by the breath of the big monster, so it did not dare to move forward.
So Li Zhi and Yan Ji simply dismounted, calmed the frightened horses, and then tied them to a tree trunk nearby.
After the two men settled their horses, they resolutely stepped into the forest filled with evil spirits.
…
As he entered the forest, Li Zhi cautiously slowed down his pace, fearing that he would alarm the big monster in the forest.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ji, who was standing by, looked relaxed. He smiled and said, "Brother Li, there's no need to be so careful. I locked the monster deep in the forest last time. It won't come out easily."
Hearing what Yan Ji said, Li Zhi was stunned. He didn't expect that Yan Ji and the others had such capabilities that they could even blockade the big monster deep in the forest.
Seeing Li Zhi's unexpected expression, Yan Ji also laughed. He explained: "Actually, this is mainly due to a magic weapon..."
After Yan Ji's explanation, Li Zhi finally understood.
It turned out that those who came to Qi to set up the Night Patrol Division did not come empty-handed. Many of them carried various treasures and magic weapons.
After they took root in Qi, these treasures and magic weapons naturally became the exclusive magic weapons of Qi's Night Tour Division.
The magic weapon that blocks the big monster is called the Monster-avoiding Shield.
It was originally a magic weapon that could prevent monsters from detecting its breath.
However, after years of research and practice by the Qi State Yeyousi, they actually succeeded in developing other effects.
For example, using a demon shield to trap monsters so they cannot escape.
Of course, if the monsters are too powerful, even this magic weapon cannot trap them.
However, the big monster is currently seriously injured and its strength has been greatly reduced, so it is not difficult to use this magic weapon to block it in this area.
However, although this magic weapon can temporarily trap the big monster, it cannot maintain this blockade state forever.
As time goes by, the power of the magic weapon will gradually weaken and eventually lose its effect.
This is also the reason why Yan Ji was so eager to ask Li Zhi for help after learning that Li Zhi was from Yongguo Night Patrol.
After all, in a few days, this magic weapon might not be able to trap the monster anymore.
Once the big monster successfully escapes from here, it will surely wreak havoc everywhere and bring a huge disaster to the State of Qi.
The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the place where the big monster was trapped.
To Li Zhi's surprise, there were actually two members of Qi State's Night Patrol wearing light red clothes guarding the place.
When the two men saw Yan Ji coming, they immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Sir!"
Yan Ji casually waved his hand, signaling them not to be polite, and then turned to Li Zhi and said, "These two are also good fighters from my Night Patrol Division. I specially arranged them to guard the big monster here. They can also help when we take action later."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes fell on the two men.
He looked closely and saw that the two men had ordinary looks and nothing special about them, but they both exuded a firm and cold aura that made people dare not underestimate them.
Li Zhi thought to himself that the temperaments of these two people were quite similar to Captain Yang of the Qiongqi Camp, so he asked, "Have you two ever served in the army?"
As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, the two men were obviously stunned, as if they were a little surprised by his question.
But they didn't know Li Zhi's identity and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After the two looked at each other, they first looked at Li Zhi and then at Yan Ji.
Seeing this, Yan Ji answered for them, "Haha, Lord Li really has a good eye. They are indeed all military personnel. In fact, most of the members of our Qi State Night Patrol Division are elite soldiers drawn from the military."
After listening to Yan Ji's explanation, Li Zhi suddenly understood.
Yan Ji then introduced Li Zhilai to the two men. He said solemnly, "This is the lord from the Night Watch Division of Yong State. He happened to come to our Qi State this time. I specifically asked for his help to eliminate the great demon together."
When the two heard this, excitement immediately appeared on their faces.
After all, the demon was extremely ferocious, and they would not be able to rest until they eradicated it. Now that they had the help of a master like Li Zhi, their confidence naturally doubled.
Li Zhi smiled but did not say anything.
He knew clearly what Yan Ji meant by this.
Yan Ji's words undoubtedly put Li Zhi in a difficult position. In this way, even if Li Zhi didn't want to take action later, it would be difficult for him to refuse.
However, Li Zhi did not refute Yan Ji on the spot.
Because he understood that Yan Ji was also anxious.
Moreover, Li Zhi also judged from the evil aura emitted by the big monster that the big monster had indeed suffered serious injuries.
Facing a seriously injured monster, Li Zhi was still confident that he could take it down.
