Chapter 22 Lurking
On the outskirts of Yehua City.

Sewer.

Walking in this intricate and huge urban drainage system, coupled with the interference of the thick moisture inside the line of sight.Zhang Heng no longer remembered where he came down from, so he could only follow Jin Wu, who was the first to bear the brunt, and always be alert to the movement around him.

Behind him, Nangong Beichen, who was already obsessed with cleanliness, was very resistant to this fishy, ​​wet and pungent environment, taking every step carefully for fear of rubbing any dirt.

On the other hand, Tang Dan, although he was at the end of the team, was the most relaxed of the three, looking as if he was gearing up for a fight at any time.

According to Jin Wu, some students have detected traces of many demon species in this area recently, and after tracking them all the way, they deduce that there should be a lair living in the sewer.

Their task this time is to find this den and destroy it.

"Senior, I have a question that I can't figure out." Zhang Heng spoke first to break the silence.

"Since there are already front-line strongmen guarding the human homeland at the border defense line."

"Then why are there still many demon species that can cross the defense line and lurk in various cities?"

Jin Wu heard the words and deliberately slowed down to answer him.

"Student, do you know what the principle of fishing nets is?"

The principle of fishing nets?

Zhang Heng and Tang Dan, who didn't know it, turned their attention to "knowledgeable" Nangong Beichen at the same time.

"Brother Zhang, I don't have a comprehensive understanding of this issue. Let the senior explain it to us."

Seeing this, Jin Wu grinned and continued:

"The question you just asked is actually the same as this."

"It's like our human defense line is a big fishing net. What the strong people on the sideline really use their energy to resist are actually 'big fish', that is, the most threatening monsters to human beings."

"Because once they break through the defense line, it will bring us irreparable and devastating disaster."

"However, for those 'little fish' that have slipped through the net, the powerhouse's perception of them is relatively weaker, resulting in no matter how strict the vigilance is, they will slowly infiltrate like ants."

"Our S-level and A-level powerhouses are extremely scarce. Almost all of them have devoted themselves to the front line. It is impossible to ignore the front line and come back to deal with this miscellaneous soldier."

"In addition, in recent years, demon species have evolved bionic abilities one after another, allowing them to disguise themselves as humans, which is more conducive to lurking. This is why there are demon species in major cities."

"So, the task of maintaining the safety of the city falls to the Demon Hunting Organization and our supernatural students."

"In addition, in order to avoid causing panic among the masses, the Demon Hunting Organization generally blocks relevant information from the outside world after performing tasks."

"That's why people like junior Zhang Heng, who haven't awakened their abilities before entering school, know very little about this news."

"That is to say, the net will only stop the big fish, but the small fish will still be able to pass through the net after all."

Speaking of this, the three of them had a complete epiphany.

Zhang Heng frowned slightly after hearing this.

Because according to what Jin Wu said, the current human situation is still very anxious.

There are powerful enemies outside, but there are worries inside!

As several people continued to go deeper, Zhang Heng found that the surrounding walls were covered with things like sarcoma, which were adsorbed on the rock strata like the roots of a tree and extended outward in a net shape, and were deeply embedded in the soil to absorb the organic matter. energy in layers.

"This is."

"Biomass."

After Jin Wu saw the biomass, he signaled everyone to be vigilant.

"The biomass is growing from the nest, and it seems that we are very close to the nest."

"Everyone is ready to fight. Zhang Heng and I are at the front, Jian Xiazi pays attention to the top of our heads, and Tang Dan is in charge of the rear."

"This time, a demon seed may suddenly rush out from somewhere, so don't let your guard down."

As expected of an experienced senior, he gave instructions immediately.

Zhang Heng sighed secretly, and then a blue light lit up from his palm.Seeing this, Tang Dan and Nangong Beichen released flames and sword energy to protect their bodies respectively.

The further he went, the narrower the passage occupied by the biomass, and the lower and lower the visibility. At the same time, a disgusting smell of blood came over his face.

At this time, Zhang Heng didn't know what he had stepped on, and the sudden sound of bones breaking under his feet made everyone shudder.

After he took a closer look with the light of the fire in Tang Dan's hand, he found that it was a dog's head that had been gnawed to a bloody mess!Zhang Heng was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.

Only then did the few of them discover the animal bones scattered all over the ground in front of them, like white hills piled up one after another, which made people shudder.

Jin Wu, who had long been familiar with this, was extremely calm, and after carefully examining the bones of these animals for a while, he came to a conclusion.

"It's unmistakable, this is a Red Devil's lair."

"What is the Red Devil?" Zhang Heng asked calmly.

"The red devil is a small social demon species that lives in the dark and only emerges at night." Nangong Beichen took the words.

"Their main attack method is to emit phantom light from their eyes to confuse the enemy's mind, and then seize the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy."

"At the same time, they are very organized, have a certain level of intelligence, and each group will have a leader in a leading position."

"The disaster level of the red devil is usually determined by the size of its group. The larger the group, the higher the disaster level. The highest known disaster level is the ghost level. It can be regarded as an extremely difficult demon species."

"So this task is relatively easy!"

Hearing Nangong Beichen's almost word-for-word explanation in the Demon Seed Illustrated Book, Jin Wu couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

At this moment, there were soft rustling sounds from the darkness in front of them, and a little blood-red monster suddenly crawled out along the wall, opened its fangs and rushed towards Zhang Heng.

The attack came too suddenly, Zhang Heng, who couldn't react in time, saw that he was about to be bitten, and Jin Wu slapped the red devil to pieces.

The sprayed plasma directly splashed Zhang Heng's face.

Then more than a dozen red devils attacked at the same time, and Tang Dan jumped in front of Zhang Heng.

"fire punch!"

"Bai Fengming!"

His fists turned red and instantly shot dozens of balls of fire. Such a large area of ​​flame coverage made the red devils have nowhere to dodge, and they were roasted to scum amidst screams in the blink of an eye.

The remaining fireballs flew towards the cave like flares, and only then did they see the dense army of red devils rushing towards them like a flood.

The shrill scream echoed throughout the sewer.
