Zhou You took the yellow talisman and looked at it carefully.
There is a circle of dense patterns around this yellow talisman, and in the middle is a rune that looks like a ghost head, revealing a bit of evil.
"If you put your own blood on it, this yellow talisman will belong to you alone."
Ding Yuan said.
Zhou You didn't hesitate too much. He picked up the demon-slaying knife and made a cut on his finger. He quickly activated the blood to condense a bright red blood bead, which dripped on the yellow talisman.
Otherwise, with his current recovery power, he might be able to recover in just a few seconds.
The bright red blood beads dripped on the yellow rune, and were completely absorbed by the ghost head rune in the middle, exuding a very faint blood light.
"Interesting..." Zhou You chuckled.
He could feel that this demonic blood talisman seemed to have some kind of strange resonance in him.
"Brother Ding, can you tell me about the situation in Tianshui Mansion today?" Zhou You put away the demon blood talisman and asked softly.
Knowing yourself and your enemy means you can win every battle. I had just arrived and knew nothing about the situation in Tianshui Mansion, so I naturally wanted to understand it clearly.
A flash of approval flashed in Ding Yuan's eyes.
Not only is this young demon slayer amazingly talented, he is also quite calm-minded.
He organized his language and said softly: "Our Huangzhou has a vast territory. Even if it only occupies one-third of the area, it is still divided into twelve prefectures."
"According to the regulations of the Huangzhou Demon Slayer Department, each mansion requires at least three senior demon slayers, twelve intermediate demon slayers, and several low-level demon slayers to be stationed there."
Speaking of this, Ding Yuan shook his head and sighed: "But in fact, our demon slayer department has always been short of manpower, otherwise the headquarters would not allocate manpower from various places every year. Each government can only maintain two senior demon slayers.
People are stationed there, plus seven or eight mid-level demon slayers and a dozen low-level demon slayers..."
"But because the three major mansions, Tianyue Mansion, Tianlin Mansion, and Tianming Mansion, are bordered by the wild forest where the demonic forces are located, the situation is even more severe. Each mansion requires five or six high-level demon slayers to barely maintain stability... Even if
In this way, nearly half of the senior demon slayers will be sacrificed every year...With the current tight manpower, senior demon slayers from other mansions can only be transferred to these three major mansions."
"Because of this, Tianshui Mansion has not had a senior demon slayer stationed there for several years."
After hearing this, Zhou You couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Brother Ding, doesn't Tianshui Mansion not need high-level demon slayers to be stationed there?"
This is a deserted state. Let’s not talk about black nightmare level demons. Blood resentment level demons are like crucian carps crossing the river. If there are no high-level demon slayers stationed there, there will be no way to deal with the situation once it occurs, and we can only report it.
And after listening to Ding Yuan's words, Zhou You also understood that the Huangzhou Demon Slayer Division was basically an empty shell. Could it be that the Demon Suppressor had to personally take action every time?
Ding Yuan cleared his throat and continued: "The reasons for the Tianshui Mansion today are a bit complicated. There are three major Jianghu sects in the mansion... namely, the Mingyue Sword Sect, the Dragon Tiger Sect, and the Golden Knife Sect."
"These three major rivers and lakes sects all have masters with true energy in charge. Once a blood grudge-level demon appears, these rivers and lakes masters will be asked to deal with it. Therefore, senior demon slayers have never been sent to guard the place."
"But if it goes on for a long time, it is not an option. It will greatly reduce the prestige of the government. Therefore, Zhou Mu found the demon-suppressing envoy today just for the matter of Tianshui Mansion."
After Zhou You listened, he finally understood what was going on.
"Brother Zhou, although you are only an intermediate demon slayer now, Demon Suppressor Yang Xiong now knows all about you and thinks that sending you to Tianshui Mansion is the best choice at the moment." Ding Yuan said in a deep voice.
Naturally, Zhou You would not refuse. He chose to come to Huangzhou just to fight more ferocious monsters.
"There are two intermediate demon slayers and six low-level demon slayers in Tianshui Mansion... I have a letter here, stamped with the seal of the Demon Suppressor. The general content is to ask them to obey your orders." Ding
Yuan took out another letter and handed it to Zhou You.
In fact, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Yuyou becomes a high-level demon slayer.
With the extent of the demon's rampage in Huangzhou, I believe it won't take long.
"Understood, give me another horse and I'll set off immediately."
Zhou You is now a true qi realm warrior, with extremely high energy and qi and blood as majestic as the sea. Even if he goes without sleep for several days and nights, he will not feel any fatigue.
Ding Yuan admired Zhou You's attitude very much and found a dark horse for him.
This black horse is about two meters tall, with sinister muscles, like a dragon and snake entwined, and is covered with a layer of black scales.
"This is a black-scale horse, a specialty of our Demon Slayer Department in Huangzhou. It contains a trace of demon blood. It is powerful and has long stamina. It is a piece of cake to travel thousands of miles in a day." Ding Yuan laughed.
After hearing about it, I was also very interested in the black-scaled horse.
Take the reins.
The black-scaled horse glanced at Zhou You, sprayed out two cyclones from its nostrils, and shook its head violently.
Zhou You immediately felt a huge force coming from the reins and wanted to throw himself away.
He sneered, his right arm instantly exerted force, and the majestic energy and blood turned into a rolling torrent and poured out.
The black-scaled horse instantly felt that this seemingly small human had turned into a huge mountain, which was simply beyond the power of his own strength.
And when it met Zhou You's seemingly clear eyes.
But he seemed to see the evil energy of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rushing towards him, as terrifying as being stared at by a wild beast.
The black-scaled horse seemed to be calm in an instant, and did not dare to move at all.
"Brother Zhou You is so capable. This black-scaled horse has a violent temper. I didn't expect you to tame it in a short time." Ding Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this.
Zhou You smiled, got on his horse and said, "I'll go to Tianshui Mansion then."
Just now, Ding Yuan gave him another regional map.
"Take care along the way!" Ding Yuan said in greeting.
"Drive!" Zhouyou rode a black-scaled horse, far away from the Wasteland Demon Slayer Division.
........
Tianshui Fucheng, a mine thirty kilometers away.
After a tiring day, Lao Huang said goodbye to several co-workers and began to return to his village.
Due to the existence of this mine, there are dozens of villages large and small nearby, making a living from mining.
In the past, more than a dozen people would go back to the village together, but Lao Huang had some accidents in the mine tunnel today and had to take a long detour before coming out.
The sky was dark, and the whistling mountain wind blew on the leaves, making a rustling sound.
The trees here are so dense and prosperous that even the pale moonlight can scatter some mottled light spots, like patches of corpse.
Even though he was extremely familiar with this road, Lao Huang still couldn't help but feel a little chilly in his heart.
The lantern glowed with dim candlelight, illuminating the road ahead, and Lao Huang couldn't help but speed up his pace.
But for some reason, Lao Huang found that he had been walking in the woods for a long time and still didn't get out.
"What's going on...the woods are not that big..." Old Huang muttered in his heart.
Woohoo~
At this time, a sad woman's cry came from the front.
