"Brother, I want to ask..."
Chen Mo approached to strike up a conversation, but the man with the spiky hair turned a deaf ear, fixating on the copper furnace and muttering to himself:
"This ti it will work, it must work this ti!"
"..."
Chen Mo shook his head and lifted his leg to walk deeper into the interior.
He had only taken a few steps when a black shadow shot towards him, and he reflexively drew his sword to strike, but a cry of alarm ca from not far away:
"Spare the dog under your blade!"
?
Chen Mo’s sword technique shifted, and he smacked the back of the sword towards the shadow.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the black shadow was knocked to the ground.
It was a large dog nearly the height of a person, its fur jet-black and glossy, with two heads hanging around its neck.
One dog head was sticking out its tongue, eyes rolling back, already unconscious.
The other dog head was grinning at Chen Mo, emitting a series of stifled low growls.
Demon Clan?
No, it seed to be an Alien Beast.
Chen Mo didn’t feel a trace of Demon Energy from this black dog.
"Little Black!"
A young man quickly ran over and picked up the black dog, his expression one of distress, "Are you alright?"
"Woof woof~"
The dog head nuzzled in his arms, seemingly coquettishly seeking comfort.
After the man inspected the dog and confird that Little Black was unhard, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked at Chen Mo:
"I’m sorry, Little Black is usually very well-behaved, it’s just a bit sensitive to the scent of strangers... Uh, are you from the Sky Scale Guard?"
Noticing Chen Mo’s dark patterned black robe, the young man was sowhat puzzled.
This was the first ti soone from the Sky Scale Guard had visited.
Chen Mo nodded and said, "I am Chen Mo, Hundred Household Officer of the Ding Fire Departnt, looking for Li Gongfeng, Li Siya."
"Chen Mo?!"
The young man was montarily stunned before his eyes widened, his tone becoming hurried:
"Are you the recently famous detective genius, the nesis of the Demon Clan who slew the transford Demon Python, the pillar of the nation who rescued society from calamity, the light of Great Yuan piercing through the endless night... Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen?!"
"..."
A black line crossed Chen Mo’s forehead.
Was he this famous now?
And who ca up with these titles? They were too embarrassing!
"Ah... You must be talking about , but ’the light of Great Yuan’ is a bit too much," Chen Mo said with a frown.
"Not at all, not a bit too much!"
"I am Fourth-rank Tributor Huang Haoran, I’ve long admired your na!"
Huang Haoran clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with admiration.
The storm of the Zhou Family case had not yet passed, and the case in Linglan County had brought them another wave of shock.
The Demon Python’s spine was a hundred feet long, and just the chunks of flesh and blood had burned for an entire day, indicating how powerful it was in life!
Yet from discovering the conspiracy of the Demon Clan to slaying the Demon Python, Chen Mo had only taken a re night!
Saying he was a nesis to the Demon Clan was no exaggeration!
"By the way, you’re looking for Li Gongfeng, right? He is in the Artifact Refining Departnt. Please, follow ."
Huang Haoran led Chen Mo toward the interior of the Demon Suppression Departnt.
On the ground were large and small copper furnaces, with waves of heat rolling over them, and a group of people squatting in front of the copper furnaces busy with various refining tasks.
Walking along the corridor and through the inner door, they arrived at another courtyard.
In dozens of steel cages were various strangely shaped Alien Beasts, including a white bear several tens of feet tall, a moose with upright pupils, and an orange cat with wings on its ribs...
Along the way, with Huang Haoran’s introduction, Chen Mo gained a general understanding of the Demon Suppression Departnt.
The entire departnt was divided into the Alchemy Departnt, Artifact Refining Departnt, Formation Path Departnt, and Beast Taming Departnt, each corresponding to different functions.
But the ultimate goal was one — Demon Slaying!
"The thods of the Demon Clan are cunning, good at disguise, and extrely difficult to deal with."
"The Alien Beasts cultivated by the Beast Taming Departnt have keen senses, able to detect Demon Energy; the Body-Guarding Elixirs developed by the Alchemy Departnt can prevent the corrosion of Demon Energy; the Magic Artifacts refined by the Artifact Refining Departnt have extra damage bonuses against the Demon Clan."
"As for the Formation Path Departnt, it is to break the Eightfold Exorcism Array and free ourselves from the constraints of the Holy Sect as soon as possible..."
The two walked through the corridors and courtyards to a wide square.
The entire square was constructed of white stone, with a huge area; dozens of Furnace Tripods were placed on it, with materials for artifact crafting piled up beside them, and the segnted Demon Python Spine was conspicuously among them.
"Li Gongfeng, Mr. Chen is here."
Huang Haoran announced loudly.
Li Siya, who was controlling the fire at the front of the furnace, turned his head upon hearing this, and his eyes brightened up as he flew towards Chen Mo.
"Brother Chen, you’re here."
Chen Mo nodded and said, "I happened to be free today, so I ca to have a look."
"Please, this way."
Li Siya led him to a Furnace Tripod, where a fierce red fla was burning inside, and a section of Demon Bone was floating in the tripod, not softening in the slightest despite the blaze.
"I wasn’t wrong at the beginning; this Demon Python did indeed swallow a strand of Dragon Qi, otherwise, its bones wouldn’t be so tough."
"After the death of the Demon Python, the Dragon Qi scattered, but the enhancent effect on its physical body was still preserved."
"With my Earth Lotus Fire, it would probably take around five days to fully refine this Demon Bone."
Li Siya stated, standing with his hands behind his back.
Chen Mo’s brow quirked slightly.
He could feel the power of the fla, far surpassing regular Alchemy Fire, and it would still take so long to refine?
It seed that this Demon Bone was indeed a valuable item!
At that mont, Li Siya took the initiative to say, "Brother Chen, whatever Magical Treasure you want to refine, just tell . This Demon Bone is your spoils of war; to be accurate, it is our Demon Suppression Departnt that is taking advantage of you."
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Alright, then I won’t hold back."
He took out several sketches he had prepared earlier, handed them to Li Siya, and conveyed his general requirents.
Since the Demon Bone was long enough, he planned to make several pieces to give away as gifts.
After reviewing them, Li Siya patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to . However, it might take so ti, probably about a month."
