Monster, come to my bowl

The sun rises, and it's another unlucky day.

Bang!

As soon as Cai Ji removed the bolt, the store door was violently pushed open.

The hard door panel hit his forehead, making him see stars.

"I..." Cai Ji was about to curse, but when he looked up and saw the clothes of the people outside the door, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Hey, gentlemen! Are you up so early today?"

Before he finished speaking, five or six men wearing black armor and with long swords hanging from their waists came in one after another.

The person who came was none other than the town's demon-suppressing guard.

However, this team of demon-suppressing guards came to Cai Ji's small restaurant not to exorcise demons or to comfort the people... they came to eat a free meal!

The sergeant leading the team was named Liu Tong, who was tall and strong with a face full of flesh.

The other demon-suppressing guards also had a ruffian air.

Liu Tong took a seat and snorted arrogantly, "What kind of food and drinks are there? Bring them up quickly! I have something important to do today!"

Cai Ji looked at the other party's arrogant attitude and felt annoyed.

But as an ordinary person, he did not dare to offend this group of warriors. He could only greet their eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart while nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it will be done soon!"

As the saying goes, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

As a time traveler, Cai Ji has no system and no golden finger, which makes him extremely unlucky!

After coming to this world inexplicably, he struggled on the brink of life and death for seven or eight years before he barely had a foothold today and opened a small restaurant here.

But these local tyrants in official uniforms, I don’t know whether they think his cooking is good or that outsiders are easy to bully, come to eat and free meals every now and then!

Never pay!

Not even once!

It’s so outrageous!

Although Cai Ji was unwilling, he did not dare to offend the other party.

Otherwise, being beaten and scolded would be the lightest punishment, but being framed by the other party would be fatal.

Why do you want to die?

Because this world is full of demons!

If ordinary people want to live in peace, they can only live in towns with protection from demon-suppressing guards. Otherwise, they will be wandering outside and may be attacked by demons at any time.

Ding Ling clang!

After a busy period, Cai Ji served wine and food to several demon-suppressing guards, and hid behind the counter, continuing to curse them while listening to their conversation.

You don’t know until you hear it, and you’ll want to laugh when you hear it!

It turned out that several demon-suppressing guards were in big trouble.

After a couple of drinks, they started chatting.

"Tou Liu, this is not a easy matter to handle! The centipede cave is like a maze. If we rush in, we will probably be in great danger." A young demon-suppressing guard took the lead in opening the topic.

"Yeah! It's easy to deal with one or two iron-back centipedes, but if we encounter a group of them, our strength is not enough to fill their teeth." Another person echoed.

Liu Tong did not respond immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment with a sullen face, then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you think I don't understand what you are saying? But the second son of the Xue family is missing, we can't just ignore it, right? Otherwise, if the higher-ups blame us, who will take the responsibility?"

The Xue family mentioned by Liu Tong is the richest family in Nanshan Town.

Not only is he the richest man, but he also has a considerable background.

In addition to Master Xue himself being a retired seventh-rank Demon-Suppressing Guard who was injured, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, Xue Yi, is a dignified sixth-rank Demon-Suppressing Guard. She now serves as a centurion in the county and is the direct superior of Liu Tong and others.

The lost second son of the Xue family was none other than Xue Yi’s younger brother!

After hearing Liu Tong's words, several Demon Suppression Guards looked sad.

It is really difficult to deal with when the boss's younger brother gets lost in the territory where you and your friends are.

If you don't find it quickly, you will definitely be held responsible.

"Alas!" The young demon-suppressing guard sighed and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "What on earth has this second young master gone crazy? He actually went alone to the centipede cave that even we dared not enter! Now he is forcing us to take risks together."

"A rich young man! He has nothing to do after eating, so he is just full!"

"If you're full and have nothing better to do, there's no need to seek death, right?"

"Alas, it hurts others and yourself!"

Several others followed suit and complained.

"I do know a little bit." Upon seeing this, a demon-suppressing guard suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It is said that half a year ago, the second young master got a fragment of a holy text from somewhere, and since then he has been obsessed with the legendary art of the holy words, studying it like a madman every day... He secretly ran to the centipede cave, I guess it is probably related to this matter!"

"The Art of the Holy Word? It's just a myth, but he actually took it seriously?"

"Oh! The legendary art of the Holy Word has the power to call the wind and rain, move mountains and fill the sea! If our human race really has this magical power, how could we be forced to this point by the demons?"

"It's understandable actually! The second young master is ambitious and wants to become a demon-suppressing guard, but he has no talent for martial arts! In desperation, he can only pin his hopes on the illusory legends."

Upon hearing this, the other Demon Suppression Guards began to discuss the matter.

Liu Tong, the leader, was in a bad mood and did not join in the discussion. Instead, he reminded them with a serious face: "Don't talk about these nonsense! Let's leave quickly after eating. In case we are late..."

As the saying goes, what you fear is bound to come true!

Boom boom boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a person ran in from the door.

"Captain Liu, the second young master has been found!" the man shouted at the top of his voice.

"Found it? Where is it?" Liu Tong stood up with surprise on his face when he heard it.

Unfortunately, before he could be happy, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head!

The kind that makes you feel chilled to the bone!

"It was discovered by the people who got up early and went to the fields. The person was lying in a ditch on the side of the road and was already cold. Now the body has been pulled back by a ox cart. Do you think we should take it directly to the Xue family or take it to the Demon-Suppressing Institute for examination first..." The visitor reported eloquently.

"What? It's completely cold?"

Liu Tong was shocked on the spot.

Bang!

He stood there for a moment, then suddenly kicked the bench behind him away and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, the other demon-suppressing guards hurriedly followed.

"You deserve it! This is your retribution for oppressing the people!" Cai Ji, who was hiding behind the counter, slipped out from behind the counter while muttering with glee.

He glanced at the messy cups and plates on the table, thought for a moment, and walked towards the door.

If you don't watch the fun, you bastard!

Although I don’t know why Mr. Xue wants to go to the Centipede Cave, but based on his unique courage, I have to go and see it!

……

The west end of Qingfeng Town was crowded with people who came to watch the fun.

Cai Ji squeezed in the crowd, looking at the ox cart not far away.

The second son of the Xue family, covered in blood, lay straight in the car. Although he did not lose any limbs, his body was covered with horrific scars and his death was horrific.

I don’t know what happened to him in his life that he ended up being murdered like this.

Several demon-suppressing guards surrounded the ox cart and checked the corpse. After making sure there was nothing unusual, they ordered the ox cart to be driven to the Xue family while driving away the onlookers.

"Get out of the way! Get the hell out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

Strange to say!

When the ox cart passed in front of Cai Ji, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up from the ground.

The cold wind blew up a lot of dust and sand, making it impossible for people around to open their eyes.

At the same time, a blood-stained scroll quietly fell from the hands of the second son of Xue and was blown to Cai Ji's feet by the cold wind.

"Eh? What is this?" Cai Ji was just lowering his head with his eyelids drooping to avoid the wind and sand. He saw a paper roll rolling to his feet and subconsciously bent down to pick it up.

When he opened it casually, he was stunned on the spot!

Why are you stunned?

Because, there are four words written on the paper!
