From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 111 Black Stone Acquired Again! Triumph!

Chapter 111 Black Stone Acquired Again! Triumph!

Once he was sure the spider-faced creature was silent, Su Yu sheathed his sword.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of the sheath returning to its sheath was particularly clear in the quiet dawn. He turned and walked towards a few people not far away, his expression indifferent.

"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts so much, I'm dying!"

"My eyes! My face! You bastards! What are you standing there for? Take me back to the Zhu family! I need to find the best doctor! Hurry!"

Su Yu glanced at the crazed Zhu Rui. He was clutching his face with both hands, blackish-red blood seeping from between his fingers. His entire face was pitted and scarred by the black energy, and his eyes were two bloody holes; he was clearly ruined.

"How is Zhu Rui doing?"

Song Jing's face was filled with grief. "My lord, Brother Zhu's injuries are extremely serious. His face has been corroded by the poison gas, and his eyes—I'm afraid they can't be saved. Fortunately, he received timely treatment, and his life is out of danger."

After saying that, he comforted Zhu Rui, saying, "Brother Zhu! Hang in there! The magistrate is on his way!"

Their lives are safe, but their future is ruined.

Su Yu understood.

For a member of a martial arts family, being blinded or disfigured is essentially the end of their life.

"Zhao Tie," Su Yu instructed, "carry Zhu Rui on your back and head back to the city to treat her. This matter cannot be delayed."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Tie dared not delay. He stepped forward, picked up Zhu Rui, who was still cursing, and strode into the city.

After Zhu Rui's frantic cursing faded into the distance, Su Yu looked at Song Jing and asked in a calm tone, "How did Zhu Rui get hurt?"

""

Song Jing straightened up and answered flawlessly: "Your Excellency, Zhu Rui was greedy for merit and acted rashly, disobeying orders, and was ambushed by that strange bird monster. My subordinates and Zhao Tie risked our lives to save him, but the monster was too fierce and monstrous—this matter cannot be blamed on us."

Su Yu nodded slightly.

Zhu Rui's performance in this mission has crossed his bottom line, and it is absolutely impossible to keep him in the team.

However, if they were to kill him outright, it would be difficult to explain to the Zhu family.

It must be said that Song Jing handled it quite well.

With such severe injuries and no evidence left behind, Zhu Rui's troubles are now resolved.

"Well done," Su Yu commented casually. "I'll give you credit for that when we get back!"

Just then, a sizzling sound suddenly came from behind, as if cold water had been poured onto hot oil.

The two of them turned around abruptly.

Under the rising sun, the headless bird-like corpse began to smoke violently.

The black fur and flesh quickly dissolved and collapsed, turning into a pool of foul-smelling, thick black corpse water that seeped into the ground.

"This thing—can't stand the light? No, that's not right. It also has an eerie presence during the day, but the dead corpses can't stand the light."

Su Yu's heart stirred, and he immediately looked at the strange spider monster on the other side.

Sure enough, the enormous spider corpse began to undergo the same transformation. Its carapace softened, its flesh turned to mush, and billowing black smoke rose up, carrying a pungent odor.

In a matter of moments, the two strange corpses vanished completely, leaving only two black stains in their place. "Hmm?"

Su Yu, with his sharp eyes, noticed a faint, shimmering light in the center of the pus.

He stepped forward, used the scabbard to clear away the filth, and picked out an object.

It's another black stone!

But this black stone was different from any he had seen before. It was about the size of a fist, and its originally rough, honeycomb-like surface had become much smoother, with the pores closed, giving it an overall rounded, jade-like texture.

Holding it in my hand, it felt heavy and cold to the bone.

"Sir! There are some here too!"

Not far away, Song Jing also picked up a piece from the bird monster's corpse in the water.

Su Yu took the comparison.

The piece Song Jing picked up was smaller, and its surface was still pitted and uneven. The piece he had, however, originated from the strange spider monster and was clearly of higher quality, even showing signs of becoming a pill.

"My lord, what are these things?" Song Jing stared at the two strange stones, swallowing hard. "How can stones grow inside a bizarre body?"

This series of strange events was beyond his comprehension.

Su Yu did not answer directly, but turned around and walked into the tiled house, picking up the bait he had laid out next to the broken water vat, the ordinary honeycomb black stone.

"The bait I set up is also black stone." Su Yu placed the three stones together.

Song Jing was immediately startled, a thought flashing through his mind. "My lord, this black stone attracts so many strange creatures, could it be of some benefit to them?"

Su Yu nodded, his gaze deep, and added, "This black stone is normally normal. But once it's placed in water, it emits a strange aura, and this aura is the key to attracting the supernatural."

"As for what benefit this black stone will bring to the strange creatures, I'm not sure. But judging from their appearance, they most likely want to devour it. I wonder what will happen if they succeed."

As dawn broke, golden sunlight tore through the gloom that had shrouded Wangjia Village.

Su Yu and his companion walked out of the half-collapsed house and stood on the devastated street.

The surroundings were quiet until the first door was carefully pushed open, followed by the second and third. The villagers, who had been hiding all night like frightened birds, cautiously emerged. When they saw the two black marks that had turned into pus, and the calm Su Yu and his companion, the deathly silent village erupted in a suppressed cry.

"Dead? Sir, those cannibalistic monsters—are they really dead?" Wang Youquan, leaning on his cane, stepped forward shakily and asked in disbelief.

Su Yu nodded slightly, his voice steady and powerful, echoing throughout the street: "The strange scourge has been eliminated. From today onwards, everyone can rest assured!"

This sentence was like a pardon from heaven.

"Great! The eerie creature is dead, everyone can live now!"

"Lord Su is wise and brave; he killed the monster and is a great benefactor to our Wangjia Village!"

"Waaaaah—If my husband could live just one more day, he could finally see Lord Su again—"

"I'm alive! I'm alive! Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"Quickly! Kneel before the adults!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Wang Youquan led the way by kneeling down, and a sea of ​​villagers immediately followed suit, their cries and expressions of gratitude blending together.

Looking at these ragged, emaciated people, Su Yu felt a surge of emotion.

Surviving in chaotic times is difficult, and we should do our best to help them as much as we can.

He offered a helping hand: "Elder Wang, please help everyone up. Live well from now on. The law enforcement team will come to check on things often."

Upon hearing this, Wang Youquan burst into tears and got up from the ground.

This man was different from the others; he didn't treat us like ants, he was really there to get things done.

After calming the villagers down, Su Yu did not leave with Song Jing immediately, but instead took him back to the house where Zhu Rui had been attacked the previous night.

Last night, he felt that he heard more than two strange breathing sounds.

Inside the room, a faint fishy smell still lingered in the air.

Song Jing squatted in the corner, pointing to a section of floorboards torn apart by sharp claws, his expression grave.

There was a clear footprint made of blood and mud.

"My lord, your guess is correct. These footprints are large, with hook marks on the toes, and they are buried three feet deep in the ground," Song Jing analyzed. "I also fought that bird monster last night. Its claws were long and thin like hooks, resembling eagle claws, which are somewhat different from this one."

"As for that strange spider monster, it crawls with more than ten legs and its footprints are dotted, which doesn't match up at all."

Su Yu stared intently at the footprint, and a long-forgotten memory instantly became clear in his mind.

That night, on the banks of the Blackwater River.

His first encounter with the strange thing was that it was panting behind him but did not show itself. However, the next morning, the footprints he left on the riverbank were exactly those large, hooked ones!

"As expected." Su Yu stood up, his gaze deep. "There were more than two that came last night."

"There's another one—perhaps the most cunning one, it's been hiding in the shadows observing, it might even—"

They slipped away right under our noses.

Upon hearing this, Song Jing felt a chill run down his spine.

Su Yu remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Since that strange creature hasn't shown itself, it means it's very alert and probably won't dare to appear anytime soon. Record this in the mission log and return to the city to report."

Blackrock City, the Enforcement Team's headquarters.

As soon as Su Yu stepped through the gate, he felt countless gazes converge upon him.

News of Zhu Rui's severe injuries and disfigurement, and his being carried back, had already spread throughout the entire government office. Immediately afterward, news of Su Yu's slaying of the strange creature and his achievement of the greatest merit also spread like wildfire.

"Look! That's Su Yu from the Golden Scales Team's Hornwood Squad!"

"I heard that last night, on his first mission, he discovered a strange trail that no one else could find, and even single-handedly killed a monster comparable to a powerful acupoint!"

"Truly young and promising—his skills and methods are probably top-notch!"

"This Captain Su has a bright future ahead of him! He's made a great contribution by killing the monster, so the reward will be substantial."

-

"However, this great achievement didn't come easily. I heard one of his men was seriously injured, and the losses were quite heavy!"

As Su Yu walked through the hall, he encountered several acquaintances.

Cui Wanhe was wiping his nine-ringed broadsword when he saw Su Yu. This usually arrogant martial arts champion stopped what he was doing, looked up at Su Yu with a burning gaze, and then nodded.

Su Yu was somewhat surprised, but returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute.

In the corner, Dai Xing still held his spear, standing there like a wooden statue. Upon seeing Su Yu, his cold and stern face stiffened slightly.

Liu Li, the young master of the Liu family, laughed directly: "Brother Su! Impressive! I'm still investigating the clues, and you've already killed the monster. I'll definitely treat you to a drink another day and have you share your experience!"

"Brother Liu, you're too kind. I'll definitely visit you when I have time."

Enforcement team, second floor.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Enter!"

-

Su Yu pushed open the door and entered.

The room was warm and cozy. Li Jingxuan was humming a little tune as he pruned the branches and leaves of the precious purple bamboo on the windowsill with a pair of delicate little scissors.

Upon seeing Su Yu, his eyes lit up, and he immediately put down his scissors. His chubby face beamed with a sincere smile as he strode forward, exclaiming, "Hahaha! Su Yu! You're truly my lucky charm!"

"Only a few days? Huh? Two days! And you've already given me such a big gift!"

"Everyone's still racking their brains trying to find the anomalies, and you've already killed two! That's a major achievement for our Golden Scale Enforcement Team!"
