Chapter 8 Mantis Catching Cicadas

"Boss?" Peng Yu looked surprised, "No way, don't you pour a thousand cups? It's red wine."

Li Yize hesitated, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he slowly lay down on the table: "Peng Yu...I...can't hold it anymore..."

Peng Yu: "..."

What the hell is going on here?

Peng Yu sniffed the remaining wine in the glass, but he didn't smell anything unusual, and he had drunk a lot himself, so he didn't feel like he was going to get drunk at all.When he was wondering, he suddenly found that the monsters on the tables next to him also fell down one after another, and some even showed their original shape directly, and their masks fell all over the floor.

This time he finally realized that something was wrong, stood up and looked, and found that not only the drunk monsters, but also the fox waiters who hadn't drunk had fallen sideways by the wall and remained silent. He was snoring loudly and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Peng Yu glanced at Qianyue, and Qianyue also looked at him with a confused expression on his face. The two soberly walked around the ballroom, and found that all the monsters really fell down, and the boss Peng, who was in the claws, was still squatting. He leaned down and touched the hedgehog's belly, threw the tortoise upside down, tied the snake, hooked the horns of two antelopes together, and dragged the foxes' tails to gather them together. The ground was stacked up to form a pyramid, and a photo was happily taken. In the picture was the generous face of Yishui Tibetan fox.

"Boss," Qian Yue watched as his boss became playful, and couldn't help reminding him, "I think something is not quite right."

"Something's wrong? Of course something's wrong." Boss Peng's heart is so big that a hundred dragons might jump in it, and he doesn't care at all, "There's something wrong with the wine, not only drinking, but even the smell of the wine can knock down the fox— —But this wine seems to only work on monsters, and we have nothing to do."

"That……"

Peng Yu made a "shh" gesture to her, and said in a low voice, "Foxes are not so stupid as to put themselves down. They definitely didn't do this. I guess someone wants to catch cicadas."

As he spoke, he stuffed Qian Yue under the table, and he followed suit: "Hide, don't talk."

The two held their breaths, and after waiting for less than 5 minutes, the door of the ballroom was pushed open, and the light from the outside flooded in, dispelling the deliberately created dark environment, and the gaudy lights instantly disappeared.A man stood against the light at the door, temporarily unable to see clearly whether he was a human or a dog. He was holding a stick nearly a person's height in one hand, and something like a wine jug in the other. His clothes were half-clothed and tied around his waist. , whistled at the monsters lying all over the floor: "Little ones, brother is here to pick you up."

As he spoke, he walked into the hall, unloaded a sack full of patches from his shoulders, first walked to the "Fox Pyramid", and stuffed the back skins of the foxes into the sack one by one. Counting to yourself: "One, two, three..."

His sack was an artifact, but it looked like a bottomless pit. He put a whole cart of foxes in it and still couldn't see the drum. Then he stretched out his claws to the hedgehog with its belly exposed, the tortoise with its legs upturned, and the knotted snake.

Seeing the drunken monsters being taken away one by one, Qianyue felt nervous for a while, and looked back at his proprietress - he was still lying on the table, although he did not return to his original shape like other monsters, but the top of his head was stunned A pair of white dragon horns appeared.

The man of unknown origin dragged a sack and walked this way, probably because he was in such a good mood, he even hummed a little tune.Qianyue watched him getting closer and closer, and the hairs all over his body stood up. At this time, Peng Yu, who had been watching for a long time, finally moved. He narrowed his eyes slightly, rolled up his left cuff, and there was a red feather printed on his arm. He lightly touched it with his fingertips, and the feathers fell off and became real.

Then he got out from under the table, before the man could react, he shook his hand suddenly, the feathers stretched and turned into a long red whip, hooked directly on the man's ankle, and dragged him down with a lift of his wrist On the ground, with a "slap", the whip wrapped around the chandelier on the ceiling, and the man was hung upside down in the air.

"Hey! What are you doing... who are you!" The man spun around with the sway of the chandelier, hanging his head upside down, and fainted after a while, "Put me down...you have something to say!"

"There's nothing to say," Peng Yu held a whip in one hand, his expression turned cold a little bit, "The new recruiter? Your predecessors didn't teach you that humans and demons have coexisted peacefully for thousands of years. The demons in the human society return to their original life, instead of being captured randomly, understand?"

The demon collector turned his head downwards, finally turned to an angle where he could see the other party, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Peng Yu sneered, and took out a small black notebook from his pocket: "I see it clearly - the peace ambassador of the three realms, the special imperial envoy of the heavenly court, the supervisor of the demon world, and the ghost summoner of the underworld, Peng Yu, Peng Ziyan, that's me!" , remember?"

Qianyue also got out from under the table, approached him, and read aloud according to the words on the notebook: "Motor vehicles of the People's Republic of China..."

"I'm sorry, I took the wrong one. This is the driving book." Peng Yu picked up the book without changing his face, and continued to brag brazenly, "In short, there is nothing I can't do in this world. If you want to continue If you continue to mess around, then obediently listen to my words, let go of these monsters, go back and forth from where, first copy your so-called "Regulations for Collecting Monsters" a hundred and eighty times before you come out to work."

The demon collector was stupefied by him, and when he heard the name "Peng Yu", his previous arrogance disappeared immediately, and he drooped his arms and said half-deadly, "Let me go first!" come down..."

"That can't be done," Peng Yu sat down on the table, and touched the exposed horns of his own dragon, "You haven't explained your crime clearly—did the wine be your hands and feet?"

"Yes," the demon collector had given up struggling, and directly confessed to be lenient. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, "Did you see that wine gourd? It contained a kind of wine called 'Liu Jun'. People drink it to strengthen their health." If you drink it, the monster will get drunk, and if you put a drop in other wine, it will be enough to make the monster drunk."

Peng Yu narrowed his eyes, and asked again: "So the fake groom who cheated Hu Bai was also you?"

"It's me," the demon collector was very frustrated, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm the No. 20 eighth demon collector, and I'm going to be a teacher this year, and the task my master assigned me is to collect one hundred and eight monsters, uh... ...There are still one hundred and seven left. If I can't finish it before the end of the year, then I will have to go back and repeat. I am desperate. I just heard that someone from the fox clan wants to get married in a flash. Blind men sneak in and try to catch them all."

Peng Yu rubbed his chin: "Your master? Who is your master?"
