Monster, come to my bowl

"Can it restore Qi and blood?"

Cai Ji took the porcelain bottle, pulled out the stopper to check the elixir inside, and complained heartlessly: "Such a good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier? I have to eat abalone and sea cucumber at your house every day, I don't know how much money I wasted."

puff!

The civilians around burst into laughter when they heard this.

But they were not happy, but shocked!

They were just laughing at Cai Ji, saying that this bald man with a bunch of tattered clothes around his waist looked like a fool!

Who would have known that this fool had such a... complicated relationship with Lord Xue!

Lord Xue personally sent him the Qi-restoring Pill, but he was not grateful at all and even complained about Lord Xue!

Not only did he complain, he also said that he ate abalone and sea cucumber every day at Lord Xue's house!

I’m so... so envious!

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll give you a knife, believe it or not?" Xue Yi was also very angry, and said angrily: "The Qi-Restoring Pills are war materials for the Demon-Suppressing Guards. They can only be used in battle. Not everyone can have them! I gave you these two pills, and I saved them from my own share..."

"Thank you, Lord Xue, for your kindness!" Cai Ji was afraid that he would be drowned in the young lady's saliva in front of everyone, so he took the initiative to surrender without waiting for her to finish, saying, "You are so kind, I will never forget it!"

"Hmph!" Xue Yi glared at him fiercely, then left with his men.

When the civilians around saw her walking away, they immediately surrounded her.

"Brother, what is your relationship with Master Xue?"

"Could it be that you are also a member of the Xue family?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Just now, the master called big brother Manager Cai. Big brother's surname is Cai, not Xue...right, big brother!"

"Since your last name is not Xue, why can you eat abalone in Master Xue's house?"

The men's enthusiasm for gossip was no less than that of the old women at home. They surrounded Cai Ji and asked him questions all at once.

Cai Ji naturally would not tell them the truth.

He stroked his chin and answered seriously, "Her father and I are close friends!"

……

Time passes in tension.

On the fourth day, it rained heavily.

The sky was overcast with rain and the sky was as dark as ink.

But the red haze in the sky did not recede, but became thicker.

The rain fell against the dark red background, as if it was raining blood.

The defense reinforcement work of Qinghe City did not stop, and people continued to work wearing straw raincoats.

There are still three days until the full moon, and no one dares to relax.

Dangdang Dangdang!

In the evening, the alarm bell at the South Gate suddenly rang rapidly.

Qinghe City has a total of two gates, north and south. Since the terrain inside and outside the gates is relatively flat, it is convenient for monsters to attack the city, so it is the top priority of defense.

Cai Ji happened to be moving bricks at the South Gate.

When he heard the alarm, his first reaction was to run away. He and other civilians hid in a pre-arranged shelter.

But after running a few steps, he suddenly remembered that he was now a powerful monkey!

There is no need to be as cowardly as before.

In the previous eight years, he had worked hard for various cities, but because he was too weak, he had neither the opportunity nor the qualifications to watch the fierce battle to defend the city.

But today is different.

He already has a certain strength.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​watching the fun without worrying about trouble... no, with the idea that he could still make some contribution, Cai Ji thought for a moment and then returned to the city wall.

at the same time.

The demon-suppressing guards who were in charge of resisting the enemy on the front line had already drawn their swords and were ready for battle.

On the battlements and watchtowers, well-trained archers were stringing their crossbows.

The rest of the fighters also took their positions.

"Manager Cai, why are you still here?" A demon-suppressing guard saw Cai Ji hiding behind the parapet looking out, and walked forward to ask with a frown.

"Don't worry! I'm not that weak." Cai Ji raised the pitchfork in his hand and boasted: "Xue Yi and I can fight for a few moves. Most monsters can't hurt me."

"Then...be careful!" The Demon-Suppressing Guard had no choice but to turn around and go about his own business.

Squeak!

Squeak!

At this moment, a strange cry was heard from the wilderness below the city wall.

Dozens of dark figures appeared in the rain and fog, rushing towards the city gate at a rapid speed.

"They are demon rats! About fifty of them!"

Someone in the watchtower loudly reported the situation.

Upon hearing this, a seventh-rank demon-suppressing guard in charge immediately gave the order: "Don't move the bows, crossbows, fire bottles, or stones! Let the demon rats climb up the wall and let the demon-slaying guards kill them! The other warriors should be on guard behind to intercept any that slip through the net and prevent the demon rats from entering the city and causing chaos!"

"Order!"

Wow!

The people who heard the order immediately lined up.

Dozens of demon-suppressing guards holding demon-slaying swords stepped forward to block the battlements on the city wall. More civilian warriors stood alert behind them.

After thousands of years of fighting against monsters, humans have gained a lot of experience.

The five-foot-long demon rat has sharp teeth and claws and is extremely agile. It can not only climb high walls, but also dig holes at incredible speeds.

Although shooting with long-range weapons can cause certain damage to the demon rats, the hit rate is extremely low. Not only does it waste a lot of ammunition, it also damages morale, which is quite uneconomical.

The best solution is to let the demon rats climb onto the city wall and have the demon-suppressing guards kill them in close combat.

Squeak!

Squeak!

As the strange screams got closer, the group of evil rats soon arrived at the foot of the city.

Pfft!

Pfft!

They jumped into the moat without hesitation, and used all four legs to doggy paddle. In less than a moment, they crossed the two-meter-wide moat and arrived at the foot of the city wall.

The three-meter-high straight city wall could not pose any threat to them.

These monsters used their sharp claws to dig into the cracks in the stone and quickly climbed up the wall...

"kill!"

Seeing a demon rat appearing, the demon-suppressing guard in charge shouted loudly.

"kill!!"

Along with the roars of the demon-suppressing guards, the light of swords suddenly flashed on the city wall.

Squeak!

Squeak!

The first few demon rats that climbed up the wall were chopped off their heads and bodies in an instant, and fell down with screams.

But the demon rats behind were not affected at all and continued to rush up desperately.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The demon-suppressing guards on the front line showed no mercy and chopped down every one of them.

In less than a moment, more than fifty demon rats were chopped to death, and not a single one escaped.

This is the power of the blood moon!

The monsters have all fallen into a state of madness and are not afraid of death at all.

"It turns out that the rumors are true. The monsters that appear when the blood moon comes are truly fearless and unafraid of death."

"Could it be that because the saints shattered the mythical demon moon, they lost their spiritual beliefs and thus transferred their hatred to all humans?"

"So every time the full moon comes, they will miss their relatives and launch crazy revenge on humans? This possibility seems very high."

Cai Ji hid behind, watching the fighting scene and letting his imagination run wild.

At this moment, the familiar voice sounded again behind me.

"Why are you still here?"

Xue Yi heard the alarm and rushed over with his men, but unexpectedly saw Cai Ji looking around stealthily on the city wall. He was so angry that he questioned him on the spot.
