Monster, come to my bowl

Chapter 24 A tacit understanding

The sun rises, and the fatal day comes.

As soon as the day broke, Cai Ji was lifted up from the bed by Xue Yi.

As a young lady, she has no awareness of the differences between men and women.

After hastily eating the breakfast prepared by the maid, the two came to the gate.

Outside the door, a team of demon-suppressing guards were ready to go.

Xue Yi didn't bring many people with him when he went to Centipede Cave this time.

Two assistants with seventh-grade cultivation and five lieutenants in the late eighth-grade.

The eldest lady did not listen to the warning of the city lord Yao Teng not to enter the Centipede Cave, but after listening to the reasons for not going, she felt that it was indeed not a good idea to bring a large number of eighth and ninth grade demon-suppressing guards to the Centipede Cave.

When there are too many people, it is easy to alert the enemy.

Even if the giant centipede was seriously injured and dared not show up again, casualties were inevitable once the large army was besieged by a large number of iron-backed centipedes.

Instead, if you only bring a few of the strongest masters, even if you encounter a large number of iron-back centipedes, you can easily kill them without any other constraints.

If there is anything holding me back...

That’s Cai Ji!

This kid can't do anything except knowing the holy text.

Just eat, sleep and go shopping!

After walking for a while, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically.

Although it was less than two miles outside the town, the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and no one was to be seen.

There were tall trees and dense forests on both sides of the road. Not only was there a gusty wind, but there were also creepy and strange cries from time to time. It was hard to tell whether they were from wild beasts or monsters, and it was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Many strange-shaped vines arrogantly stretched across the middle of the road, not worrying at all about being stepped on or crushed by cars.

You know, this road is the main road connecting Nanshan Town to another town, but it is still so desolate and cold. It shows how much people in this world resist outdoor activities.

"Go this way!"

The group walked for a while, and the demon-suppressing guard who was in charge of leading the way turned around, said hello, and took the lead in riding his horse into a valley.

Since the Centipede Cave is located in the mountains and there is no road on the mountains, the Demon-Suppressing Guard who was responsible for scouting the terrain in advance decided to enter the mountain along the stream that came out of the mountains.

As it turned out, his judgment was extremely correct.

A group of demon horses carried everyone over mountains and waded through rivers. In less than an hour, they arrived at their destination - Centipede Cave!

"We've finally arrived!"

Cai Ji, who had been a little fascinated by riding a horse, heard the demon-suppressing guards who were leading the way say that they had arrived, and he quickly perked up to look at the infamous demon's lair.

Contrary to his expectations, the centipede cave that made the people of Nanshan Town shudder with fear did not look scary at all on the surface.

At its entrance is a fairly open cave.

The entrance of the cave is about thirty or four feet wide and nearly two feet high.

The cave is brightly lit and the ground is dry.

If there weren't any monsters deep in the cave, it would definitely be a good place to shelter from the wind and rain.

It can even be used as a shelter for survival in the wilderness!

At the same time, Xue Yi was also observing the terrain.

Although she was eager for revenge, she did not rush into the cave. Instead, she sat on horseback to observe the terrain and pointed to a flat area near the valley and ordered: "Set up camp there!"

Five eighth-rank demon-suppressing guards immediately dismounted and began to carry out orders.

Cai Ji originally thought that they would take out rain sheets, set up a few tents on the flat ground, and then build a fire pit in the middle to boil water and barbecue.

However, it is not!

Bang bang bang!

After the five demon-suppressing guards dismounted, they ran straight to the nearby woods and started chopping down trees with their demon-slaying swords.

Due to his high level of cultivation and sharp blade, he quickly sent several large trees into reincarnation.

After several people cut down the big trees, they cut them into dozens of sections on the spot. After simple repairs, they moved the sharpened wood sections to the flat ground and built three large chevaux de frise that were more than two meters long.

Three large chevaux de frise were arranged in a triangle, enclosing a space of moderate size, with a five-foot-wide entrance and exit left at each of the three tops, and the camp was declared complete.

As for the tent and fire pit that Cai Ji imagined, they are not there for the time being.

"This is the small outdoor camp most commonly used by the Demon-Suppressing Guards. As long as we are not surrounded, we can attack or defend. It is very practical." After Xue Yi dismounted from his horse, he saw Cai Ji staring at the five Demon-Suppressing Guards setting up camp. While explaining, he handed him an exquisite dagger.

"Yeah? How did you know? I wanted to ask you for a weapon?"

Cai Ji was a little surprised and thought that he and the eldest lady had a telepathic connection.

From the moment he set out on the journey, he wanted to find an excuse to ask Xue Yi for a weapon, so that he could use it as a prop to perform the Holy Word when necessary.

But Xue Yi's answer gave him a big blow.

"This is not for your self-defense. With your limited ability, you will die if you encounter any monster." The eldest lady had no expression on her face and said in a cold tone: "If you fall into the hands of a monster, you can use it to commit suicide."
