Monster, come to my bowl

The order was given and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

People living in the suburbs of Qinghe were the first to migrate into the city.

In line with the principle of "whoever is close to the water gets the moon first", these people, bringing their elderly and children, sheep and horses, and carrying food, bedding, tents, pots, pans, and other daily necessities, were the first to enter the city to seek refuge with relatives and friends and grab a better place to live.

After receiving the notice, the people from other towns also gathered together and prepared to enter the city as quickly as possible.

The people in the city also began to get busy.

Some were vacating their rooms, some were building kangs, preparing to welcome the arrival of the refugees.

Of course, their efforts are not free.

According to the practice going back thousands of years, in order to appease the emotions of the people in the city, the Demon Suppression Bureau will provide compensation based on the number of refugees accepted by each family.

In addition, refugees coming from the countryside often carry large amounts of food and local specialties.

These supplies are exactly what the residents in the city lack.

Both parties got what they needed and the situation was harmonious.

……

Return to the inn.

After Cai Ji had eaten and drunk his fill, he continued with his previous work.

However, after successfully applying the 'Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierceness' Holy Word to himself and consuming an antique, he suddenly felt that it was not wise to do so.

In each experiment, antiques that can be used for casting spells are indeed picked out.

But the moment it is picked out, the thing is consumed!

In other words, there is no stock on hand!

They are all disposable consumables!

If we change to a safe environment, the lack of inventory will not have much impact.

But the current situation is strange, so we urgently need some equipment that can cast spells, just in case of emergency.

"What should I do? I have to test whether the things are useful, but I can't destroy them." Cai Ji looked at the pile of remaining antiques in front of him and fell into thought.

Wang Wang Wang!

At this moment, a dog barking was heard downstairs.

It’s Wangcai!

Wangcai is applying to fight.

"Have it!"

Cai Ji had an idea and immediately thought of a solution.

Since it has been determined that the degree of consumption of spellcasting items is related to the strength of the Holy Word cast, we might as well use Wangcai as an experiment and cast some Holy Words with extremely weak effects on it.

In that case, we can filter out the props that can be used for casting spells and preserve them to the greatest extent possible. Isn't that the best of both worlds?

Do it when you think of it!

Cai Ji was a practical man. He immediately went downstairs and brought Wangcai back to the room.

Wangcai is indeed a born bootlicker.

No matter how its owner tormented it, it just lay on the ground, shamelessly shaking its head, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue.

I don't ask for forgiveness, but please be gentle!

"Grinning teeth!"

Seeing that Gou Zi was ready, Cai Ji decisively picked up an antique and started experimenting.

The reason why I chose the phrase "baring teeth" is for two reasons.

First, just letting the dog make an expression shouldn’t require much energy.

Second, Wangcai never dared to show his teeth to him. As long as he dared to show his teeth, it meant that this antique could be used to cast spells.

“Woo woo woo…”

First of all, Wangcai didn’t show his teeth.

It thought Cai Ji was teasing it, so it lay on the ground and stuck out its tongue with a playful smile.

"Grinning teeth!"

“Woo woo woo…”

"Grinning teeth!"

“Woo woo woo…”

……

"Grinning teeth!"

"Whoa oh oh oh oh!!!"

I tried dozens of them in a row.

It was not until Cai Ji picked up a bronze oil lamp that Wangcai showed him his fangs.

"Good! Good dog!"

Cai Ji was overjoyed when he found that the bronze lamp in his hand was intact.

He gave Wangcai a pat on the head on the spot, then stuffed the bronze lamp into his arms and continued the experiment.

"Grinning teeth!"

“Woo woo woo…”

"..."

"Grinning teeth!"

"Whoa oh oh oh oh!!!"

"..."

After half a day, the testing of the collected antiques was finally completed.

In addition to the few items consumed before, Cai Ji obtained eight more props that can be used for casting spells.

Bronze lamps, jade hairpins, kitchen god statues, old porcelain vases...

It's a mess.

"These things are of different sizes. How can I carry them with me?"

Looking at the pile of things in front of him, Cai Ji fell into thought again.

Since you plan to use these things for defense, you must carry them with you.

Not only must it be carried with you, it must also be easy to access, and at the same time not affect normal movements.

"Got it!" After thinking for a moment, Cai Ji suddenly came up with an idea and immediately called out, "Lanlan, come here quickly."

Bang!

As soon as she finished speaking, Lanlan pushed the door open and walked in.

That's right!

It's so agile!

Faster than Cao Cao!

"Lanlan, find someone to sew a big belt for me right away, using the most durable leather! It has to be this wide, with a circle of pockets sewn on the outside from left to right, from small to large, with the smallest one... Hurry up, it'd be best if you can make it today!" Cai Ji instructed the maid while gesturing.

"I'll go right away!" After hearing the instructions, Lanlan left the room like a gust of wind.

……

Early the next morning, Cai Ji was moving bricks on the city wall.

In order to prevent monsters from attacking the city, all able-bodied men in the city were forcibly conscripted.

Like other human cities, the number of demon-suppressing guards in Qinghe City is completely disproportionate to the size of the city they are defending!

There are only a hundred or so demon-suppressing guards in Qinghe City, but the city wall is several miles long. Not to mention asking them to guard the city, even standing guard requires one guard to be more than ten feet apart.

Therefore, mobilizing the masses is necessary!

According to the laws set by the Demon Suppression Bureau, when a demon attacks a city, the servants and guards of the wealthy families in the city, the bodyguards and rangers hired by the caravans, and all kinds of warriors must take up arms and join the team defending the city.

Anyone who dares to shirk responsibility will be held accountable later!

Ordinary people who have never learned martial arts are responsible for logistical support.

Tasks such as reinforcing the city walls, moving logs and rocks, cooking and delivering meals, and transporting the wounded were all done by ordinary people.

Cai Ji was one of the able-bodied men.

Although his current status is rather special, he has the opportunity to go through the back door.

But he didn't do that.

When the crisis comes, everyone is in the same boat and he doesn't want to be a deserter.

It’s not that I’m not afraid of death.

But we must understand that only by working together can the human race survive and prosper!

This is the consensus of the vast majority of humanity.

What's more, Cai Ji is now a powerful monkey.

Not only is he as strong as an ox, he is also as agile as a monkey, and as fierce as a dragon and a tiger.

Even if you encounter any monster, you will have a chance to escape unscathed.

Besides that, he also has a big belt.

The belt is filled with all kinds of strange things.

That's his 'ammo belt'!

Although it looks a bit silly, it is extremely powerful.

"Manager Cai, are you feeling well?"

Just as I was carrying a stone onto the city wall, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

It turned out that Xue Yi came with several of his men to inspect the city defenses.

Seeing Cai Ji moving bricks, she couldn't help but step forward and make a joke.

"We have to move even if it's empty!" Cai Ji faced the surprised eyes of the people around him and said righteously: "The survival of the human race is the responsibility of every man! What I am reinforcing is not the city defense, but my own life!"

"well said!"

"This brother is very righteous!"

"For my own life and the lives of my loved ones."

"Everyone, work hard!"

The laborers who were working around cheered when they heard this.

Even the demon guards present couldn't help but nod.

Xue Yi knew that Cai Ji's greatest strength was his eloquence and he was no match for him.

She directly took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to him, saying, "Here, there are two Qi-recovering pills in it. After taking them, you can quickly restore your Qi and blood."
