After finishing the most important thing, Su Ming and Xu Qianqian were just chatting with some casual conversations.

Of course, there are not no important things in these chats.

For example, the broken scale that Su Ming handed over to Xu Qianqian last week, Xu Qianqian has already handed it to an expert for research.

According to the research results, this scale seems to be a bit like the scale of the rotten water demon.

"Correction Water Demon?" Su Ming frowned and said, "Are you talking about the corrupt water demon who lives in the waters of the Spirit Demon Prison and is considered to be the most common water-dwelling magic demon in the Spirit Demon Prison?"

"That's right." Xu Qianqian nodded and said, "In the Spirit Demon Prison, there are many illusion demons living in the water, but the most common ones are the corruption water demons. They can survive even in the dirtiest waters. From the Spirit Demon Prison to the water-dwelling illusion demons in the present world, the most common ones are also the corruption water demons."

Su Ming naturally knew about this.

Not only did he know that he had also received several missions to clear the illusion demons living in important rivers, and together with Lei Hao and Ye Bai, he had attacked the corruption demons several times.

This kind of corrupt water demon is indeed the most common water-dwelling magic demon. Once it is a non-natural disaster event related to water, most of the murderers behind the incident are corrupt water demons.

This shows how common this aquatic magic is.

"But, I remember that the scales of the rotten water demon didn't look like this."

Su Ming pointed out this.

The rotten water demon that Su Ming had seen was a kind of illusion demon that looked similar to a mermaid. It was slightly larger than that of an ordinary adult. It was about two meters tall, with sharp claws and sharp teeth. The skin on the body was blue. Although it had scales, the scales usually only grew on the arms, thighs, neck, face and other parts. It looked like fish scales, and it was the least beautiful one.

On the other hand, the scale he found had a smooth surface as a mirror, and the outside showed that it was as bright as a diamond, which was quite beautiful.

But Xu Qianqian said, such beautiful scales fell from the rotten water demon?

No wonder Su Ming frowned so much.

"I was also surprised at first, but if you think about it carefully, it's not a strange thing." Xu Qianqian explained to Su Ming: "Once the illusion demon evolves and evolves from a lower level illusion demon into a higher level illusion demon, it will be completely reborn and become a brand new individual, right?"

Su Ming understood a little about what Xu Qianqian wanted to express.

"In other words, do you think the owner of that scale actually evolved from the rotten water demon?" Su Ming looked at Xu Qianqian and said, "The mysterious existence that the suspicious group is chasing is indeed a kind of superior illusion demon?"

Although I don’t know if it is a cub, since it is confirmed that the owner of the scale evolved from the rotten water demon, then the speculation of the superior illusion demon can be directly proved.

When Su Ming was thinking this, Xu Qianqian gave another uncertain answer.

"It's not necessarily the superior illusion demon that has evolved successfully, but it may also be a mutant?"

Xu Qianqian's statement made Su Ming blink.

"Mutant?"

Su Ming looked at Xu Qianqian in surprise.

Xu Qianqian spoke in this way in response to Su Ming's gaze.

"The lower level illusion demon will evolve after sucking enough blood and accumulating enough power, but evolution may not be successful." Xu Qianqian said: "If you encounter any accidents during the evolution process, or the accumulated power is not enough to support the entire process of evolution, then this illusion demon will stop evolving and change in another direction."

In other words, that is a kind of variation.

A mutation that occurs because of incomplete evolution.

"The illusion demon that appears because of this situation is a mutant. Although it has not evolved completely, it has also left the category of the lower level illusion demon and is between the lower level illusion demon and the superior level illusion demon."

Xu Qianqian's voice came into Su Ming's ears clearly.

"It's not just mutants that fail to evolve and turn to mutate among the lower level illusion demons, but also such existences among the higher level illusion demons."

Although the evolution of the lower level illusion demon into the higher level illusion demon is already considered a complete transformation, this is not the end of a species like "illusion demon".

No matter which kind of illusion is, there will be three opportunities for evolution in one lifetime.

The first evolution was from a lower level illusion demon to a higher level illusion demon, completely standing out from the mixed fish, thus truly possessing the power to change destiny.

But there are also levels among the superior illusion demons.

The first stage of the superior illusion demon is called the Dangerous species, but it is just the original superior illusion demon and the weakest superior illusion demon.

In addition to the dangerous species, there are also nightmare species and terrifying species in the superior illusion demons.

If an individual who evolved into a dangerous species of the higher level of the illusion demon continues to suck blood and accumulates strength, a second evolution will occur.

At this time, if you can evolve successfully, it will become a nightmare species.

By the same token, when the nightmare species also absorb enough blood and accumulate enough power to trigger the third evolution and the final evolution, once they succeed, they will become terror species.

That is the end of the magical demon.

That is the final stage that a life like a illusion demon can reach.

Only by becoming a terrifying species can one become the strongest illusion demon and rule the entire spiritual demon prison.

By then, he will have the power to become the king of the entire Spirit Demon Prison and become the veritable king of the Phantom Demon.

However, this evolutionary path is not easy to complete.

Not to mention how amazing the blood food required to evolve to the final stage, just talking about evolution itself, it is possible to fail.

Once evolution fails, although it can become a more powerful mutant than the illusion demon of the same level, this also means that the illusion demon will forever lose the opportunity to evolve again and can only stop at the current stage.

This is called a mutant.

In view of this, Xu Qianqian proposed this idea.

That is, the mysterious magic that the suspicious group is chasing may be a mutant that has failed evolution.

"Of course, a mutant of a lower-level magic demon should not attract the senior management of the base city to use their own private soldiers to chase and kill them."

That's what Xu Qianqian thinks.

"So, the most likely thing about this phantom demon's true face is a cub of a higher-level phantom demon."

This is the result of the investigation based on that scale.

"It's really a troublesome thing." Su Ming scratched his head and said, "Have you reported this matter to the senior management of the base city that entrusted the task to you?"

"Well, I've reported it." Xu Qianqian admitted: "There has already paid attention to this matter, but it is the moment when the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison will appear in the city of the base city. The above may not be able to deal with this matter in time."

"That doesn't matter to me." Su Ming spread his hands, looking like he was not concerned about his own affairs, and said, "I am only responsible for completing the investigation tasks you entrust, and the rest are not under my control."

"I know." Xu Qianqian also knew Su Ming's character and said without any surprise: "The countermeasures for the suspicious group and suspected superior phantom magic cubs are things that the upper class needs to decide. We are just students, so we are responsible for the investigation."

"OK." Su Ming snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Then this matter will be much easier."

He only needs to be responsible for the investigation and ignore the rest, and Su Ming has decided to do so.

"Then I'll go back first." Su Ming stood up and said to Xu Qianqian: "Please urge me to complete the transaction as soon as possible."

"I can." Xu Qianqian said lightly: "If you have any news or anything you need to discuss, you can contact me as soon as possible."

"Okay." Su Ming responded.

Xu Qianqian then called the butler and asked him to send Su Ming out of the villa.

Su Ming left the villa and returned to the academy under the gaze of the butler who seemed respectful but actually stared at him.

......

In the next day, everything was peaceful.

The Demon Hunting Academy is still very lively, with people busy everywhere, looking very busy.

The people who formed the team of Su Ming, Lei Hao, Ye Bai, An Zijin, Yao Beibei, and Jiang Wanyu did not waste time, and they began to prepare for the battle the next day.

Some people need to organize their weapons, some need to prepare props, and everyone gathered funds to buy supplies. After one or two dinners, everyone began to get familiar with each other.

Well, it was mainly because Ye Bai wanted to become familiar with An Zijin, while Lei Hao was idle to flirt with the two fierce and long schoolgirls. The two fierce and long schoolgirls didn't pay much attention to Lei Hao. Instead, they were always separated by An Zijin who also didn't want to pay attention to Ye Bai and the innocent and pitiful Su Ming, so that An Zijin would not stick to Su Ming's body.

This... can be considered familiar now?

At least, Su Ming had completely seen the various love-hate disputes in this team and the ugly face of everyone. To some extent, he was familiar with these people, right?

Under such circumstances, the day of departure gradually comes.

......

It's late at night.

Today's night at the Demon Hunting Academy is destined to be uneasy.

Because, as soon as tomorrow dawn, the students here have to set off together and go to Huaming District to participate in the battle against the magical demons.

Thanks to this, many people seem to be unable to fall asleep peacefully, so that the lights in the dormitory are still bright.

At this time, Su Ming quietly left the dormitory and even left the academy.

He received a message.

The message from Xu Qianqian.

"Come here."

There is no need to say more about what is passed in this short message.

When Su Ming came to Jinghu District with excitement and entered Xu Qianqian's villa, a large truck was already parked in the courtyard.

Xu Qianqian was not present.

There were only a few staff members present and the butler.

"The eldest lady is preparing for tomorrow's war, but she has already told me to hand over this batch of goods to Young Master Su."

The old butler said this while opening the back cabinet door of the truck.

The next second, countless neatly organized extraordinary items were printed into Su Ming's eyes.

Su Ming immediately smiled.
Chapter completed!
