"Although most of the time …" Old Qiao Mu patted the seat.
"I feel that this big fellow we're sitting on is very noisy and disrupts the hearing of us demon hunters."
"The smell of the dust from the burning magic source coal also greatly reduces my sense of smell."
"But there's no doubt that times are improving."
"In my youth, we demon hunters didn't have any defensive equipment, and even our weapons weren't necessarily very sharp."
"But now, even if we're newly promoted rank one demon hunters."
"We can also have a set of iron-rank leather armor and a sharp dagger that belongs to us, as well as a full-body protective shield necklace."
"In that era, demon hunting pistols were luxuries."
"Demon hunting bullets required large amounts of money to purchase, and no one would casually waste demon hunting bullets to practice their shooting skills."
"But now, a powerful demon hunting pistol is a necessity for a demon hunter."
"And the manuals on the production of demon hunting bullets are widely circulated."
"Even this child, Huo Qi, can skillfully use extraordinary tools to produce demon hunting bullets."
"And the large amounts of shooting practice with demon hunting bullets allowed him to grasp accurate marksmanship."
"The popularization of demon hunting pistols and the abundant supply of demon hunting bullets allowed us to easily defeat a group of dark creatures from a relatively long distance. Most of the time, they were killed by us before they could even come into contact with us."
"In the previous era, this was simply impossible."
"And the full-body defensive equipment and sharp melee weapons allowed us to not be at a disadvantage when confronting those dark creatures head-on."
"Even if we were injured, the medicine in our bags could easily heal us."
"In fact, as long as we didn't die on the spot from injuries, we could even survive."
"And those dark creatures simply haven't changed much in these 60 to 70 years. Just slightly set up a special trap, and they would charge over like a swarm of bees. Then, we would gradually eliminate them. "
"In addition, there are now more demon hunters and more extraordinary professionals. Many extraordinary professionals who aren't in the demon hunter sequence have also joined the hunting industry."
"After all, hunting those powerful creatures is still very profitable."
"So …"
Old Qiao Mu smiled.
"The dark creatures that appeared in the Western Wilderness Mountain Range aren't enough for so many hunters to share."
"Last summer, just as there were rumors that a large number of dark creatures appeared in the Western Wilderness Mountain Range, a large number of extraordinary hunters went north and went deep into the mountain range."
"When winter just ended, we couldn't find those dark creatures anymore."
Old Qiao Mu's words made Gounières nod slightly.
The development in the past few decades had indeed allowed the Northern Empire's extraordinary powers to greatly increase.
Not only were there a lot of extraordinary humans, but there were also enough extraordinary equipment and extraordinary resources to increase their strength.
As long as you had money, you could make yourself stronger. you could become stronger.
With the expansion of the territory and the opening sea route.
This was also the reason why the Northern Empire's territory was able to grow stronger day by day.
"What about you? Young man, how did you leave the Suge ruins? "Old Qiao Mu looked over with narrowed eyes.
When Qiao Mu's Qiao's Of The Demon's's's''s.
After pondering for a while, Gounières began to explain.
"My father didn't survive the terrifying night of Winter's End."
"To my father, his life's goal was to restore the family's glory, and I will fight for it for the rest of my life."
"After my father died, I sold all of my family's property."
"When I reach Belan City, I will take a train to Harutev Harbor."
"You know that there are endless riches on the sea."
"So I plan to buy a ship and recruit some sailors to explore the world in the depths of the endless sea."
"I also know that if a surging wave comes, or if I run into some ferocious pirates, or if I run into some sirens or other Extraordinary creatures, I will be penniless. Even my own life will be threatened."
"But as long as I don't die, I will be able to gain something."
"Life is like this. If you don't work hard, there's a high chance that you can live your life in peace, but you will never enjoy the fruits of success and wealth."
"Only by working hard, struggling, and taking risks may you fail, may you end up in a very tragic state, or even die, but the fruits of victory will ultimately show a glimmer of light ahead."
Qiao Mu nodded lightly when he heard Gounières's words.
The opening of the sea route had indeed made many people rich overnight.
Many people had set sail in the deep sea for this.
Some of the very brave and powerful young people he knew had also rushed to the sea.
Some of them had achieved something and even made a fortune because of it.
But most of them had no news at all.
Perhaps they had died in the belly of a fish, perhaps they had died on some isolated island, or perhaps they had been captured by some cannibal tribes to become their "ancestral heroic spirits", or perhaps they had been sacrificed or eaten by some extraordinary behemoths.
"Going to the sea is a good choice, but do you know about some of the things that have happened on the sea recently?" Qiao Mu asked.
"I know a little, but not much. Senior, you are talking about those sea undead, right?"
Since Gounières was going to head to the sea, he naturally paid close attention to the news on the sea.
It was said that more than a month ago, an extremely powerful earthquake erupted near the seismic zone on the sea. A large number of volcanic islands erupted.
This led to "undead rifts" appearing on the sea.
A large number of undead from alternate dimensions entered the sea, causing the sea to become abnormally dangerous. It was said that some islands were densely packed with undead creatures.
Meanwhile, those soul-type undead creatures wandered on the sea without restraint, forming an undead tide that continuously attacked merchant ships that ventured deep into the sea.
For this reason, the Ocean Extraordinary Society had already dispatched a large number of steel ships and extraordinary individuals to exterminate these undead creatures.
It could be said that the sea was currently in full swing.
"It's not just the sea undead." Qiao Mu's voice rang out again.
"There are also some powerful — devils."
Qiao Mu's voice was very low.
"Powerful devils?"
Gounières narrowed his eyes. Previously, Gounières did not know about this.
Devils!
This was a very terrifying and powerful top-level extraordinary creature with a spiritual body.
In the species system of other extraordinary creatures, there were many normal creatures, few elite-level creatures, and needless to say, chief-level creatures were very, very rare.
Those that could become overlords could easily dominate a large area and become the overlord of a region.
However, the top-level species like devils were different.
Devils! There were no normal classes.
Even the weakest devil was an "elite-level".
As for the "elite-level" devils that were born, sorry, they did not have the right to live. Their only purpose in being born was to become food for chief-level devils.
Only chief-level devils could truly come out of the "devil's lair".
This also caused every devil that appeared to be at least chief-level powerful existences.
When a large number of chief-level devils were born, it was very easy for a "devil overlord" to appear.
In the world of spirit creatures, the status of devils was equivalent to the "devils" of flesh and blood creatures.
When Gounières heard that a large number of devils had appeared on the sea, his eyes glowed.
"This is really … good news!"
As the crown-level species of spirit creatures …
Devils had extremely powerful soul abilities.
Their strongest point was that they could devour souls and absorb them to strengthen themselves.
Even if their souls were heavily damaged or even shattered, as long as they were not completely destroyed, they would not die.
They were able to gather their broken souls and slowly recover with their powerful characteristics.
At the same time, they could also quickly recover their soul injuries by devouring other souls.
As the crown-level species of spirit creatures, devils were not just a little powerful.
On the other hand, if a human's soul was slightly damaged, there would be very serious consequences.
A slightly more serious soul injury would cause one to die.
The difference between a human's soul and a devil's soul was very large.
For Gounières, he was now preparing to form a co-soul.
Spirit creatures like devils were perfect materials for forming a co-soul.
With a co-soul as his soul shield, in addition to the fact that Gounières's own soul was not weak to begin with, Gounières's soul's survivability was exceptionally strong.
"Forget about devil lords, but if I encounter rank three or rank four devil chieftains, I definitely can't let them go," Gounières pondered.
Old Qiao Mu continued to explain.
"The appearance of these things caused chaos on the sea, which gave those pirates an opportunity to take advantage of."
"At present, many merchant ships that ventured deep into the sea were not destroyed by the sea ghouls and soul-devouring devil creatures, but by those powerful pirates."
"If you encounter sea ghouls, you can still avoid them in time."
"But if you encounter pirates with sea demon ships, normal sailboats can't outrun them."
"And if they catch up to you, your outcome will often be very miserable."
"Thank you for your warning, Senior. I will pay attention to these aspects," Gounières responded.
There was indeed a huge difference in speed between normal sailboats and sea demon ships.
And what Gounières wanted to obtain were sea demon ships.
If he really encountered some not-so-powerful pirates, it was hard to say who would be the one to destroy who!
After thinking for a while, Gounières looked at Old Qiao Mu.
"Senior, as an experienced demon hunter, do you know some information about 'arcane shooting'?"
"Arcane shooting?" Old Qiao Mu's expression changed.
