24. It Is The Cub Of A Superior Phantom!

"I see."

Sitting on the bed in the hotel room, Xu Qianqian's expression became solemn after hearing all his explanations of the situation from Su Ming.

"I didn't expect that this incident actually involved the existence of an, suspected, superior phantom. This is really a troublesome situation."

Xu Qianqian bit her finger, and her expression was the same as Su Ming, who had just learned about this earlier, and she seemed a little uncertain.

No way, everything related to the superior phantom is no trivial matter, even a big family like the Xu family can't ignore the threat posed by a superior phantom.

That is a monster that requires at least four-star hunters and four-star warlocks to deal with.

Moreover, there is only one way to deal with it: that is to hunt if not be ready to be hunted by it.

Such an existence, not to mention, that is far stronger for students like Su Ming and Xu Qianqian who have yet to graduate, but even most professional hunters and professional warlocks are graduated find it difficult to handle.

Therefore, once a superior phantom demon came to the world from the spirit demon prison and appeared in the human world, even a base city had to be vigilant and take it seriously.

A phantom of that level is really too much of a threat to human beings.

"I'm not entirely sure that it is a superior ohantom." Su Ming said to Xu Qianqian: "I'm just guessing, there are still several doubts in this guess, the reason why I called you here is because I think you need to know."

Su Ming didn't think that his speculation must be correct.

Even if this speculation has been supported by a certain degree of evidence, Su Ming does not want to make a blind conclusion.

He would call Xu Qianqian over, and he also has the idea of asking her for her opinion.

This eldest lady of the Xu family may be a little unfamiliar with the world, but she has a lot of knowledge and a experience so she may have different ideas.

"Your speculation has some truth, but I think there may be some discrepancies."

Xu Qianqian thought for a while, and then gave her own opinion.

"Let's not say anything else, if there really is a superior phantom demon in Longyao City, then this base city would have never been as quiet as it is now, and there must have been major accidents about it a long ago."

This sentence is not without reason.

"I think so too." Su Ming nodded in agreement and said, "Phantom demons all feed on blood, and the essence and strength of their bodies are concentrated in blood. Once the general lower-level phantom demons come to the world, they will make a lot of trouble for hunting blood and food. The worst case, if the existence like the superior phantom demon, comes to this world, will inevitably cause a catastrophic genocide due to the problem of blood and food."

The power of the superior phantom is disproportionate to the power of the lower phantom and cannot be compared.

In contrast to this, the demand of blood by the superior phantoms is much lower compared to low level phantoms.

In simple and easy terms; the higher-level phantoms eat much more than the lower-level ghosts, and they need much more nutrition than the lower-level ghosts but they are already evolved individuals. They continue to improve and evolve, their thirst for blood is far less than that of trash fish like lower-level phantom demons, they regard quality over quantity.

"If it really is a superior phantom demon, and it still appears directly in the base city, then tens of millions of "foods" are placed in front of it, it can't be indifferent, and it's even more impossible to hold back." Su Ming said so : "And with their demand for blood, it is absolutely impossible for them to appear in the world without causing thousands of casualties."

This is what Su Ming and Xu Qianqian think is strange.

"If that suspicious group is really chasing and killing a superior phantom demon, then it is impossible for that superior phantom demon to not make a huge murder case in Longyao City, even if it is to fill his stomach." Xu Qianqian said: "Besides, I also don't think a superior phantom will be chased around by a group of suspicious hunters and warlocks without attracting attention."

Although the hunters and warlocks in the suspicious group were all professional level, according to Su Ming and Xu Qianqian's observation, they agreed that the hunters and warlocks in that group were only three stars at most.

For example, the leading figure, he should be a three-star hunter, and it is unlikely that he can reach more than four stars.

Hunters with four stars and above are all well-known existences, and even the high-level officials of the base city need to be treated with caution.

Such an existence is unlikely to be arbitrarily instructed by a high-level base city, chasing an unknown mysterious phantom everywhere.

Taking this into account, the highest star rating in the suspicious group is estimated to be only three stars.

One, two, and three-star hunters and warlocks are known as low-level professionals in the industry. It is even very difficult for the high-level officials of the base city to command, subdue, and even train professionals of this level.

Four-, five-, and six-star hunters and warlocks are called high-level professionals in the industry. The number is much smaller than that of low-level professionals, and their strength is much stronger than that of low-level professionals, to conquer and cultivate, is definitely a very difficult thing.

As for the hunters and warlocks of the Seven Stars, they are already equivalent to the existence of the king of hunters and the master of warlocks.

This level of existence is rare in this human world, and most base cities do not even have a seven-star hunter or warlock.

Like Longyao City, in this base city, the highest star rating is six stars.

The same is true of Qilan City and Qinghai City next door, and the highest star rating is six stars.

Only in Yinze City, which has a population of more than 90 million people and ranks first among the four major coastal base cities, has a seven-star hunter.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for a high-level executive in a base city like Longyao City, whose highest star only reaches six stars, to have a high-level professional as a private soldier, but it is not very likely.

If there are hunters and warlocks of this level, the base city has long regarded the other side as the backbone of the city's defense.

In the face of the threat posed by phantom demons, human beings do not have much choice. Once a family or force has a senior professional, they will definitely join forces to ask the other party to officially register as a professional hunter and professional warlock, and let the other party be the guardian base city and even all mankind.

Therefore, even if a high-level base city has trained a senior professional, he wants to use him as a private soldier, and the rest of the base city will definitely not allow it.

And under the United Righteousness, no matter how powerful the family is, they have to compromise.

In view of this, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for a senior professional to become someone's private soldier.

These kinds of thoughts are telling Su Ming and Xu Qianqian that four-star professionals are unlikely to appear in that suspicious group.

The issue is...

"If there are no four-star professionals in that suspicious group, then even if they want to hunt down a superior phantom demon, they can't do it."

Su Ming pointed to the key points.

"That's right." Xu Qianqian said with deep conviction: "There are no higher-level professional to take action. If a lower-level professional wants to crusade a higher-level phantom demon, at least a hundred people must be involved."

In this 100-person group, one-tenth must be three-star professionals, three-tenths must be two-star professionals, and the rest are all one-star professionals with excellent quality and ability. Only then can it be possible to crusade a superior illusion .

This is the terrible thing about the superior phantom.

Combined with these kinds of considerations, the mysterious existence that the suspicious group is chasing is unlikely to be a superior phantom.

However...

"If they're chasing down a cub of a superior phantom demon, then it all makes sense."

Xu Qianqian suddenly threw out such a sentence.

"The cub of the superior phantom?"

Su Ming was stunned.

"Yes." Xu Qianqian nodded and said, "Phantom demons are different from us humans, and there are many ways to reproduce."

"Some of them reproduce asexually, some reproduce by dividing their unwanted body parts, some can reproduce by special forces, and some can even reproduce by means of infection." [A/N: 😰]

Xu Qianqian said so.

"Of course, the reproductive outcomes of various reproduction methods are also different."

"Like division and reproduction, because it is a life form composed of discarded unwanted body part, this type of phantom is often much weaker than the parent body."

"The way to reproduce by special strength is also the amount of strength that the mother consumes during reproduction will directly determine the potential and strength of the offspring produced."

"Not to mention methods such as infection. Usually, only lower-level individuals from the mother's body that are the source of infection are born, such as a superior phantom. It's a lower-level phantom."

Having said this, Xu Qianqian paused for a while, and then slowly said a situation.

"And in the spirit demon prison where there are various breeding methods, there are also examples of the cubs of the superior ghosts being born as superior phantoms."

"For example, some individuals who are considered extremely powerful among the higher-level phantom demons have a way to give birth to cubs that are also higher-level phantom monsters."

"Furthermore, before some of the superior phantoms are die, they may use the blood and strength of their whole body to reproduce offspring, allowing the offspring to inherit all their own power. Such offspring are superior phantom demons when they are born."

Xu Qianqian's words made Su Ming's complexion sink gradually.

He had already guessed what Xu Qianqian wanted to say.

As it turns out, he wasn't wrong either.

"If a cub of a superior phantom comes to the world and is discovered, no matter who it is, they will be ecstatic."

Xu Qianqian spoke in a deep voice.

"Because as a cub, even if it is a superior phantom demon, before it fully develops, its power will be greatly reduced."

In the eyes of humans, such a phantom demon cub is simply a huge treasure.

Its body material can be used to forge powerful weapons, create powerful props, and refine powerful potions.

The magic potion made from its blood will give a human being directly the blood of a superior magic magic, which will not only give it terrible power, but also allow its descendants to have excellent bloodlines and stand out from the crowd.

Even the big family can't ignore such a treasure.

Because, maintaining the bloodline, improving the bloodline, and making the bloodline stronger and purer, is what almost all hunter families are doing.

What is the allure of a superior phantom bloodline for these families?

As you can imagine! They all are greedy...

"I suspect that a certain high-level executive in Longyao base city wants to secretly swallow the cub of such a superior phantom demon, so he will send private soldiers to chase and kill the other party."

This is Xu Qianqian's guess.
