Withdrawing his attention, Dick held the sword tightly and looked up at the huge statue, thinking about how to get out of here.

The statue in front of you is called King Lioke by [Feikexai]. What kind of existence is he?

Is he also a devil?

And a more powerful demon?

Just as I was thinking about it, the same voice came from all directions in the air. The voice was slow and deep. "Demon hunter, you are very good. You can really get rid of the devil completely."

"Who are you? Where are you?" Dick gripped the sword tightly and looked around.

"I'm right in front of you, no need to take action, I don't want to be your enemy."

Dick raised his head and stared at the avatar. "What are you? Who are you?"

"What am I? Haven't you guessed it already?

"Yes, I am the devil, a powerful devil.

"As for who I am, didn't [Feikexai] just say that? I am King Lioke. Don't worry, I said I won't be your enemy and I will keep my word."

"Can you believe what the devil says?" Dick asked.

"Demon hunter, sometimes demons are more trustworthy than humans. In short, I admire you very much. You killed a demon that escaped from me.

"I remember that [Feikexai] played tricks on the entire village to death. You have avenged your compatriots."

"Then why are you here?"

"You don't need to know that your strength is too weak now.

"When one day you have the strength to challenge me, I will appear in front of you again. Okay, that's it."

At the end of the sentence, the voice seemed a little tired.

Then, Dick was surrounded by strong winds, forcing him to close his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again and looked around, there was no demon anywhere else?

This is a snowy jungle.

When I looked up, it was already dark, and Tyson's voice came from beside me. "Dick, I've been looking for you for a long time, where have you been?"

"Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine. With my ability, [Feikexai] can only control me for a short time. Fortunately, my huge power didn't hurt you."

Dick knew that he was actually sent back here by the demon.

But now it's daybreak, and I don't know how long I have been in that dry well.

"By the way, where is the dead old lady?"

"As you said, his children have already arrived and took the old lady's body away again."

"You don't mind their business?"

"I asked the villagers to report it to the official. No matter how many things happen, I can't control it.

"This is not the first time I have seen something like this."

Dick nodded and looked at Tyson, "Would you like to go somewhere with me?"

"Where to go?" Tyson asked doubtfully.

After a while, Dick and Tyson came to the courtyard where they were chasing [Feikexai].

But I saw that there was only a dilapidated hut in this courtyard, but there was no dry well in the courtyard.

Watching Dick circle around the courtyard, Tyson couldn't help but wonder, "Dick, what are you looking for?"

"I know that this small village has been abandoned for many years, and I don't know why. However, the surrounding villagers have heard that a demon has appeared here. Could it be that [Feikexai] is also responsible?"

At the end of the sentence, Tyson's tone gradually became positive.

"It is indeed [Feikexai], and..."

"And what?"

"Nothing."

Dick then thought about it, it was better not to tell Tyson about King Lioke, otherwise this demon hunter with a strong sense of justice might get to the bottom of it, in a physical sense.

When I think of Tyson digging a water well in the courtyard with a giant sword, Dick wants to laugh in my heart.

"Forget it, let's go back to your father and settle the commission money by the way."

"Dick, there is no commission fee."

"Don't you need commission money for your exorcism?"

"We [School of the Grizzly Bear] never collect commission money from the villagers. They all have little money. We only ask for commission money from the nobles when we enter the city."

"This is not possible," Dick shook his head, "Tyson, we have to make the price clear, otherwise you will just pay for the villagers blindly, and they will not appreciate you."

"Dick, this is your fault," Tyson began to speak at length, "You must know that we [School of the Grizzly Bear] demon hunters are like knights, we all abide by the five virtues..."

"Okay, okay, stop, stop, come back with me anyway, you don't have to take your share, but I'm also participating. We [School of the Lynx] don't have these particularities."

"Okay then." Tyson shrugged helplessly.

After a while, the two of them returned to Hot Spring Village.

Dick directly requested 50 Kelang from Pu'er.

Finally, he said, "You are responsible for this. You are responsible for it. You are fully responsible."

Pu'er glanced at Dick fearfully, did not dare to say a word, and left in a hurry after paying the money.

Dick then handed the 50 Kelang to Tyson.

"Dick, I said I don't want money, and this is the money you earn, why do you give it to me?"

"The previous Lady Kardashian demon hunting commission fee was 100 Kelang, but she gave me an extra 50 Kelang as your share.

"So this money is not the cost of your exorcism at Hot Spring Village, but the money Lady Kardashian gave you."

"This..."

"Tyson, don't be nagging. You are going back to your hometown to visit relatives this time. You also have a little brother. You must bring some gifts to see when the time comes, right?

"And you haven't seen your mother for many years. Why don't you buy her some decent clothes?"

Tyson scratched his head and took the money bag with some embarrassment.

"Okay, Dick, I accept your wishes. You are really my good brother."

After that, he patted Dick heavily on the shoulder.

Professor Seir on the side watched this scene with interest, but the new village chief Green did not leave. Instead, he looked at the two demon hunters with a smile on his face:

"Master Dick, Master Tyson, thank you for exorcising evil spirits in our village.

"Now let me do my duty as a landlord. Let's have a meal and soak in the hot springs before leaving.

"Our hot springs at Hot Spring Village are famous throughout the country and are unique. If you miss it, you will regret it."

"How can I eat your food for nothing?" Tyson said at the side, "Besides, I'm not hungry now."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled.

"Let's eat something." Professor Seir said, "I'm hungry too."

"That... okay."

After dinner, under the leadership of Green, two demon hunters and a professor came to the back mountain.

There is indeed a hot spring in the corner of the back mountain, which is filled with mist and is very warm.

Several men took off their clothes and soaked in it.

Dick leaned against the pool wall and sighed comfortably.

"How's it going? Master Dick, wouldn't it be very relaxing to take a dip here?"

"That's right. If it were a peaceful time, maybe your village could make a lot of money from this ancient hot spring."

"You haven't caught up with the good times, Master Dick." Green said with a hint of pride on his face, but also modestly.

Tyson on the side let himself go, exposing his dark buttocks, swimming there, or even dog-pawing, and the spring water on his feet soaked several men next to him.
