Night.
The camp was filled with the aroma of grilled fish.
Old Jack deliberately showed off his culinary skills. He fried the sliced fish and sprinkled it with spices. The sweet juice flowed out when one bit into it, making one want to swallow their own tongue.
Chung Shen-soo held his portion of grilled fish and looked at the edge of the camp, at the demon hunters who had also stopped.
Some of them were resting, some were sorting out their equipment. Occasionally, they glanced over, full of envy.
Chung Shen-soo thought for a moment, walked out of the camp, and came to the group of demon hunters.
Under many complicated gazes that were either scrutinizing or hostile, he walked to the front of a low triangular tent.
A corner of the tent was lifted, revealing the vigilant gaze of the demon hunter from before.
"I'm here to see the child."
Chung Shen-soo raised the grilled fish in his hand. "I think he needs this."
"Thank you …"
The demon hunter looked at him for a long time, and uttered a word.
Chung Shen-soo smiled, glanced at young Robben, and asked, "How is he?"
The demon hunter was silent for a moment, and replied, "Your medicine is very effective, the leader paid the price for me …"
"Actually … I used to be a wanderer, and I'm very interested in demon hunters."
Chung Shen-soo took the opportunity to sit down. "Since you're not asleep, why don't we talk …"
"What do you want to know?"
The demon hunter did not let down his guard.
"I'm just curious … Don't you have the ritual for the lower servant level?"
Chung Shen-soo asked his doubts.
"Different lower servant organs need different steps to digest … We only have a small copy of the Original Opus, and a lot of it has been lost in the previous migrations. Now, there is only one complete content about the lower servant level, the iron wire agate worm, but it is not here, and we can't find the corresponding organ …"
"Therefore, some of the children of our settlement can only use the experience we have accumulated to forcefully swallow the organs of other lower-level servants, paying the price of part of their body mutation to accommodate and digest them … Some take the risk and directly use the organs of the Giant Food Worm. It belongs to the middle-level servant level. We have mastered the complete ritual to digest it. Although it is very dangerous, there is still a chance of success …"
"Can I skip levels?"
Chung Shen-soo's interest was aroused.
"As long as you're not afraid of death, the characteristics of dependents can be accommodated immediately …" The demon hunter glanced at Chung Shen-soo with a blank expression. "But, according to the description in the Codex, from the lower servant, the middle servant, the upper servant, the lower dependent … Climbing up step by step is the safest way. The aftereffects of forcefully skipping levels are even greater … "
"I don't even dare to let little Robben directly undergo the middle-class servant level trial, because it's even more dangerous than forcefully absorbing the power of a low-class servant!"
"So that's how it is …"
Chung Shen-soo thanked the Demon Hunter and found out that his name was Koror.
'In the knowledge of the demon hunters, the most important part of the Codex is the second half. As long as we collect it completely, we might be able to hunt down the ultimate demon and end everything … Hehe, this is only a legend, but is this the origin of the name demon hunters?'
Until he walked out of the demon hunter's camp, Chung Shen-soo still felt a little absent-minded. "Demon hunters … demon … I keep feeling that I've forgotten something very important …"
"The power of the demon hunters is actually not bad. It belongs to oneself, and can be improved step by step … Hmm, if every step is done strictly according to the requirements of the Codex, perhaps the aftereffects and effects will not be too great, and there will not be obvious abnormalities …"
"The demon hunters now are too weak, it's only because their levels are too low … That's why they can't defeat well-equipped and well-trained ordinary people …"
"I'm even more interested in the power system of this world …"
He vaguely felt that this path of digesting and accommodating the power of monsters was very novel, and it represented a certain possibility.
After all, those monsters, even though they were only lower servant level, had a strong spiritual pollution, and had some of the characteristics of high-ranking people!
To be able to digest their power through specific rituals and steps meant that …
"The power of the Evil Gods … can be truly digested!"
"This is quite useful in dealing with the various remnants of the Evil Gods' power in my body!"
"Perhaps … this is also where I can break out of this situation?"
"No … If the Ouroboros knew this, would it still affect fate and guide me to this world?"
Chung Shen-soo felt that the road ahead was filled with more fog.
…
He returned to the scavenger camp and saw many scavengers enjoying the local fish to their heart's content.
This was undoubtedly much more delicious than the mysterious meat in the canned meat. There were even people who generously bought a lot of precious liquor.
Xavier obviously drank too much, his cheeks turning red. He chewed on a piece of fish while bragging to his companions, "Demon hunters are all monsters, but if it's only the initial ritual, the changes are not that obvious, and they can barely be seen. Some of them can even be considered beautiful … Many of them have tempted scavengers to join us, haha …"
The crowd burst into laughter, and many men showed tacit smiles.
"I'm so angry, a bunch of scum who play with people's feelings."
Rachel got up and left in a huff, still holding a metal jug in her hand, obviously not wanting to be with this group of people.
Chung Shen-soo also did not want to continue listening to people talk about distorted beauty and so on, so he walked to the other side of the fortress.
He saw a tall woman holding a rifle, patrolling back and forth.
"Captain Zola, are you patrolling?"
Chung Shen-soo walked over and greeted her with a smile.
"Everyone is very happy. Someone has to keep watch at night, the wilderness is full of danger …"
Zola replied indifferently, "I don't really like that kind of occasion anyway."
"Oh …"
Chung Shen-soo stared at the darkness, silent, and suddenly asked, "What's the difference between servants, dependents, and God's Bane monsters?"
"The characteristic of servants is that they can be found everywhere, and they are generally not very strong. As long as we are careful, we can deal with them … Dependents are a bit more difficult. They often break through a certain limit, and even have the ability to summon servants to serve them and become lords."
"The giant we met that day was a special case. It did not have many servants … Of course, if not for the powerful firepower of the fortress, if we met it in the wilderness, it would have been very difficult to take it down …"
"As for the God's Bane …"
A trace of fear flashed in Zola's eyes. "They are extremely powerful, extremely strange … Every one of them is a moving disaster. There have been two major crises in the history of Sky City, and they were almost on the verge of destruction. The culprits were both God's Bane existences …"
"Fortunately, they are extremely rare, or else we humans would be in a more difficult situation …"
