In the wailing cave deep in the rift valley, the pure soul of food is fighting against the banshee hovering in the cave.
The Screaming Banshee looks like a slender woman with disheveled hair, but only from a distance. When they fall from the sky, the fern-like hair lifts up, revealing a beak-like face and strange claws attached to the wings.
.
Some have secondary sex characteristics, some don't. Apparently Screaming Banshees are both male and female.
The screaming banshee that fell into the sand dunes seems to have erased the illusion of the beauty and danger of the "harpy" on the surface. In legend, the banshee is only female and likes to capture men and return to their nests to mate, reproduce and eat them.
The death of their kind caused the screaming banshees in the lair to fly up and attack Lu Li. They could harvest low-level demons like wheat. The screams only made Lu Li feel noisy. They turned into arrows and shot at Lu Li, just like flying towards a bonfire.
of insects.
To Lu Li, these screaming banshees that even high-level demons are unwilling to provoke are no different from lemure demons. The power of dreamers has been proven. Even if the Swamp Mother and the Twisted Shadow want to invade Halo, it will take time.
And Lu Li was not unable to move.
Perhaps only the Devil King and the Demon Lord can make him hesitate.
When less than half of the hovering screaming banshee was left, Lu Li gradually rose up and stopped on the dune, under the hole. The light beam falling into the cave dimmed the dream, and the figure was covered with a shimmer like the afterglow.
Casting long and narrow shadows.
With fewer and fewer companions, the Screaming Banshee wanted to escape, but it was already too late. Lu Li, who had blocked the hole, did not intend to let any of them escape. It had nothing to do with the worry of attracting the Screaming Banshee's burden, but every
Harvesting a banshee means harvesting nearly 0.2 points of humanity.
Like an eagle attacking migratory birds, the screaming banshees fell upon Lu Li as he passed by. The speed and screams they relied on for survival had no effect on him.
The last screaming banshee shot suicidally at Lu Li, shackled by the bizarre dream.
"The banshee will hate you forever!" Its last scream turned into a vicious curse, exploded into flesh and blood, and was forcibly gathered into the shape of the screaming banshee by dreams.
Some kind of curse lingered in the flesh and blood. Lu Li guessed that this must be the curse of the banshee that the blue-blooded police chief said, so he restrained the dreamer, fell from the air, and let the broken flesh on his body be slapped to hit the curse that was about to disperse.
.
The dreamer suddenly appeared, holding Lu Li and slowly falling back to the sand dune.
Ignoring the banshee corpses scattered around, Lu Li briefly searched the cave and found their lair in the cold depths of the cave where bones were buried.
Five Screaming Banshee eggs, about the size of an adult cat, were stored in the nest. Two of them had cracked, the pieces were scattered, and the cubs were missing.
There should be one or two Screaming Banshees and cubs surviving, but Lu Li didn't want to waste any more time waiting. He left the cave formed by the collapsed canyon and joined the blue-blooded Sheriff outside.
"You need help?"
The blue-blooded police chief saw the blood-stained pieces of flesh on Lu Li's body. Of course, they were not his.
"It's been solved."
The fluctuations wiped away, and Lu Li's soul took on a new look, but some kind of illusory mark was suspended above Lu Li's head.
"The Curse of the Screaming Banshee."
The blue-blooded Sheriff who noticed it said dullly: "It doesn't matter, Mayor Brubby has a way to remove the curse."
"Free?"
"Need a soul."
"That's no need."
Maintaining the curse on Lu Li may also yield a steady stream of humanity.
Lu Li, Blue Blood Sheriff, and Centipede Demon entered the cave again and gathered the bodies of the Screaming Banshee.
Compared to the trouble of the Screaming Banshees, their corpses were not worth much, but they could still be exchanged for some souls. The Blue Blood Sheriff grabbed two, and the Centipede Demon dragged seven of them, and they were driven out of the rift by the strong wind.
…
In the study room, Mayor Brubby clapped his hands to welcome Lu Li's return.
"The town of Beautiful Lake has never received so many surprises in its history as today."
From the time Lu Li arrived at Beautiful Lake Town to the time he opened the rift valley for Beautiful Lake Town, less than 4 o'clock had passed and there was still an hour before Uglas was asleep.
The servant sent the reward for this commission: a total of 600 souls.
Now, Lu Li has 13 humanity and 1150 souls, more than ever.
The thing on the silver plate on the desk was changed from a parasitic demon to a screamed banshee egg. Mayor Bluby tasted the egg liquid mixed with blood: "Smart and brave warrior, the last problem of the town has also been solved."
?”
"Basically. If the Rift Town across the canyon still exists."
Beautiful Lake Town will regain contact with the outside world, just beware of the Screaming Banshee occupying the Rift Cave again.
Mayor Bluby continued to enjoy the Screaming Banshee eggs, but these luxurious ingredients could no longer satisfy him. Taking a deep breath, Mayor Bluby found that his increasingly alluring soul was contaminated with some unknown filth.
"Brave, are you cursed by the Screaming Banshee?"
"Um."
"Don't worry, I can help you lift the curse as a reward for your contribution to Beautiful Lake Town." Mayor Brubby generously wanted to help Lu Li solve his trouble.
So why is the blue blood Sheriff only the second smartest.
“How much does a cure cost?”
"It's a hefty price. After all, it's a curse cast by the Screaming Banshee who spent her life."
Then, when the blue-blooded police chief became in a strange mood, Lu Li asked: "How much would it cost in terms of souls?"
"I think it would take a thousand souls."
The blue-blooded Sheriff suddenly realized what was going to happen next.
"Can I exchange it for a soul?" Lu Li asked as expected.
Even Mayor Ruby paused and asked in confusion: "Brave, why do you need so many souls?"
"The devil is coming soon, and I must have enough soul to fight against it." Lu Li told the truth calmly.
"My devil blood warns me that maybe I shouldn't get involved, but my more devil blood tells me to smash that devil's head..." Mayor Brubby sighed: "I can personally sponsor you 500 souls.
.”
"Thanks."
"Ho ho ho... I haven't felt this politeness in a long time."
After drinking up a Screaming Banshee egg, Mayor Brubby grabbed the tablecloth tucked into his collar, wiped the corners of his mouth, and signaled his servants to fetch 500 more souls.
"That was the time when the town of Beautiful Lake was justly named... Hundreds of townspeople and guests worked with me to maintain the prosperity of that time... Every resident misses their former home."
Mayor Brubby's emotion affected Sheriff Blue Blood, who recalled the time in the old town of Beautiful Lake.
There is no nasty wind and sand that rages day and night, preventing residents from taking to the streets. The beautiful lake radiates warmth, and residents and guests love to roam the streets, rest, and enjoy the stability brought by order. Then a group of hateful fire demons destroyed everything...
When Sheriff Blue Blood missed him, he heard the words of the human soul.
