Monster, come to my bowl

Pfft!

Seeing the eagle monster leave, Xue Yi sat down on the ground.

One is tiredness, and the other is relaxation after being nervous.

"I knew you were fighting!" Cai Ji poked his head out from behind the ruins, looking around while approaching her cautiously: "You owe me another life."

"I don't worry about having too much debt." Xue Yi brushed off the dust on his body and asked dejectedly, "When did you wake up?"

"Not long." Cai Ji replied, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to her and said: "I'll return your Guiyuan Pill to you."

Xue Yi took the porcelain bottle and poured it into his hands, and found that there were only two pills left.

She threw the pill into her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "I gave you a bottle, and you gave me two pills?"

"How dare you say that? The price I paid to strengthen your body, can it be offset by a mere Guiyuan Pill?" Cai Ji touched his increasingly thinning hair, complained, turned around and walked to the pile of bird feathers, picked up a two-foot-long flying feather and looked at it carefully.

He had seen many parts dropped by monsters, but this was the first time he had seen such a large bird feather.

Moreover, he got these bird feathers himself.

I must pick up a few to take home as souvenirs.

"Give me a holy word to cheer me up!" Xue Yi swallowed the Guiyuan Pill, stood up with the cracked crowbar, and said solemnly: "I have to go to support the South Gate!"

"Refresh?" Cai Ji was stunned, looked down at the empty belt, and replied speechlessly: "I would like to help you, but just now in order to pluck the feathers of the big bird, I used up all the props I collected for casting spells at once!"

He told the truth.

Cai Ji had just sneaked out of the shelter and saw Xue Yi being chased all over the ground by a huge eagle monster. He knew that the eagle monster was very powerful.

Otherwise, with the 'Don't Move' spell and his indestructible body, Xue Yi would never have been beaten to a pulp by it.

In order to avoid fatal backlash, Cai Ji did not dare to use the fatal holy words to sneak attack the eagle monster. Instead, he thought of a holy word that would consume the least amount of energy for himself and at the same time reduce the strength of the eagle monster to the greatest extent!

"All the bird's feathers fell off!"

He wrapped the belt full of antiques around his hands and performed the hair removal technique.

The result was perfect!

The eagle monster, who was frightened like a chicken, escaped without paying a heavy physical price.

The only loss was that all the antiques collected turned into ashes.

"Forget it if there's nothing!" Xue Yi didn't force it. Seeing that the messy things on Cai Ji's belt were indeed gone, she forced herself to say, "I'll go to the South Gate, you hurry back to the shelter."

"Stupid! Why don't you just give me the holy sword!" Cai Ji didn't leave, but walked straight up to her and snatched the crowbar from her hand.

Seeing the crowbar full of cracks, he couldn't help but complain: "Oh my god! How many times did you use the Holy Word to make it like this?"

“Without the Holy Word, I would have been killed by that eagle monster long ago!” Xue Yi rolled his eyes at him and urged, “Use it quickly, I’m in a hurry!”

"All right! Don't blame me if the holy sword breaks!" Cai Ji said, then he raised the crowbar, pointed at the young lady and said casually: "Refreshed!"

Click!

Ding Ling clang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowbar that he had obtained with great difficulty was successfully turned into pieces on the ground.

Xue Yi frowned, but didn't feel comfortable complaining.

"Go back quickly!" She reminded again and ran quickly towards the south gate.

After Cai Ji watched her go away, he did not rush back to the underground.

He looked down at his empty right hand, then at his empty left hand, his face full of disbelief.

"Oh my god! So the fur of monsters can also be used as a spellcasting tool?"

After a moment's silence, he suddenly started talking to himself with a silly smile on his face.

It turned out that when he just gave Xue Yi a boost of spirit, not only did the cracked crowbar break into pieces, but even the bird feather in his hand turned into ashes!

What does this mean?

It’s time to make a fortune!

Cai Ji looked at the pile of eagle feathers not far away, and was extremely excited. He quickly ran to the entrance of the shelter: "No! I have to ask Honghong and Lanlan to help me collect these bird feathers! No one can take even one!"

……

As time passed, the scarlet moon finally set below the horizon.

After a night of fierce fighting, the defenders of Qinghe City finally defeated the monsters that were attacking the city.

However, although the monster was defeated, people paid a heavy price.

More than thirty people died, half of whom were Demon-Suppressing Guards.

The number of injured was even more exaggerated. Most of the people who participated in defending the city were injured, but the severity of the injuries varied.

Fortunately, thanks to the two large buckets of "hemostatic magic water" contributed by Cai Ji, many seriously injured people were able to stop bleeding in time, and no more people died.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As the gong announcing safety rang, the people of the city, who had been living in fear all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief and came out of their hiding places.

But not long after everyone returned home, they heard shocking news.

"Did you know? The Demon Suppression Office was destroyed by a monster last night!"

"Ah? Is it really that tragic?"

"I heard it was destroyed by a giant eagle monster. Fortunately, Lord Xue drove it away!"

"Thank you, Master Xue! She is truly our guardian angel!"

"What to do next?"

"Just go home and continue farming. What else can I do?"

"It's only May now, and the monsters are already attacking the city. If we wait until August..."

"Yes! What should I do?"

People were talking about it in the streets and alleys, and their tone was full of worry.

At the same time, inside the Demon Suppression Shelter.

The leaders of Qinghe City also gathered together for a meeting.

Not only the Demon Suppression Guards attended the meeting, but also the heads of major families.

"Master Xue, do you mean that from now on, the monsters will attack the city every full moon night?"

"What should we do? They only came for real on August 15th before, and they just pretended to come on other full moon days. Now they come every month. How can we live?"

"Yes! The common people can't stand this kind of torture, and the demon-suppressing guards can't afford the loss either!"

"If that's the case, our human race won't be able to hold out for long."

A group of family patriarchs sat at the table, sighing.

The reason why they were so pessimistic was because Xue Yi had just told them that monsters attacking the city might become the norm, so they should be mentally prepared in advance.

"Hey, everyone! You don't have to despair. This is just Captain Xue's guess. As for whether it will happen, we won't know until the time comes." Seeing this, Yao Teng stepped out to smooth things over: "However, the red haze this time is indeed strange. We must prepare for the full moon next month! When it comes to donating city defense supplies, please don't be stingy."

"Don't worry, City Lord Yao! I'll make arrangements right away after we get back."

"Next time, the city lord can make a list of what supplies are needed to defend the city."

"Yes! Arrows, swords and guns must be replenished in advance."

“Food should not be forgotten either.”

All the family heads stood up and prepared to go home to arrange their homework.

They did not make any excuses about strengthening the city's defenses in advance.

We are all in the same boat. Once the city defenses are breached by monsters, no matter how rich the family is, it will be useless!

As the leaders of major families, they understand this truth better than anyone else.
