Chapter 259: Door-to-door provocation
Jin Ying helplessly looked at Zhang Lei, who interrupted his memories with a menacing attitude: "Liu Mingkai is a monster I met in the mountains, and I was thinking about what happened to him in the end......
"Do you still need to think about it? It must have been eaten by Yan'er, that's why someone has come to settle accounts with you now! I don't care if it's a nine-tailed fox or not, let Yan'er eat her! If it's not easy to deal with the enemy head-on, just ask Ji Ao to think of some crooked ways, he is the best at that!" Zhang Lei ran into the house angrily and went to Yan'er to discuss countermeasures.
"Was he eaten by Yan'er......" Jin Hotaru muttered to herself, holding her head, lost in thought again.
At this time, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and Li Yao rushed in in a panic. She was covered in black ash, had a long wound on her face, blood stained her collar, and leaned against the door in horror.
"That, that woman...... She hit Shen Mengman. She came in so dejected, Zhang Leiyan'er had already run out of the house.
Hearing her say this, Zhang Lei was the first to ask anxiously: "What woman? Is it the nine-tailed fox? What's the matter with the injury on your face?"
"I don't know what she is...... What's wrong with my face!" Li Yao screamed and rushed to the mirror, looked up and down, and then touched her face, the blood had already coagulated, it seemed that the wound was not deep, with her self-healing ability, this wound should not be disfigured, so she relaxed and told the truth.
Today, Li Yao was open as usual in the flower shop, and was casually talking to Shen Mengman about Jin Ying receiving an invitation to a duel again, when suddenly a woman pushed the door and walked into the flower shop. At first, Li Yao didn't notice anything wrong, and greeted her like an ordinary guest.
But just when Shen Mengman recklessly approached to look at the ring on the woman's hand, the woman suddenly scolded: "Unreasonable!"
A slap knocked Shen Mengman away. Shen Mengman was originally a wandering soul who didn't have much ability, and was suddenly beaten by her to the verge of losing his soul and scattering.
"What are you going to do? She's just getting closer to you, so you don't have to be so ruthless. Li Yao, who was taken aback, hurriedly went over to protect Shen Mengman and scolded the other party, at this time she just thought that the other party was a monster who inadvertently walked into the store.
"Hmph......" The woman looked at Li Yao and sneered, her expression was cold and vicious, looking at Li Yao's eyes as if she saw a hated enemy, "Is it you the woman who relies on the support of the vine and the red bird?
"Who are you, what do you want to do?" Li Yao was furious by her eyes, and suddenly became nervous, raising a vase with both hands to guard against it.
The woman's fingers flicked, and the vase exploded in Li Yao's hand: "I have no grudge against you, if you want to hate, hate that golden firefly." ”
As she spoke, she took a step forward and raised her hand to grab Li Yao's head, Li Yao didn't have time to dodge, she only felt a hot pain on her face, and in Shen Mengman's screams, she felt that blood was flowing down her cheeks.
It turned out that she was the nine-tailed fox who came to challenge Jin Firefly.
Li Yao was a timid girl, but at this time, she calmed down, and she held her head high to meet the woman's gaze: "I don't care what you came to me for, but you have to remember that although I am incompetent now, our immortal clan is not something that can be bullied like this! What about the nine-tailed fox? I don't believe that your clansmen let you provoke and be presumptuous everywhere like this!"
Her words were not a threat to the wandering monsters like Ji Ao and Jin Hotaru, but it was different for the nine-tailed fox of the clan.
"Hahahaha......" the woman laughed when she heard her words, "Clansmen, where do I still have clansmen!
"Don't tell me that, it's useless for me!" she grabbed Li Yao's neck and said viciously, and after speaking, she shook off Li Yao and walked out, "I won't kill you today, you just need to remember to go back and tell Manjin Moss and tell him not to forget Liu Mingkai!"
Li Yao squatted on the ground and coughed for a while while while before she struggled to get up and look at Shen Mengman, Shen Mengman's condition was better than she imagined, at least she could pat her chest and shout: "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death!"
Just when they were in shock, discussing and going to discuss this matter with Jin Ying and Yan'er, the flower shop was suddenly surrounded by flames that came out of thin air, and when Li Yao reacted, grabbed Shen Mengman and escaped from the store, the fire had already reached the roof.
She looked blankly at the firefighting and the lively crowd, and suddenly felt an incomparable chill in her heart. After she barely managed to get to the fire truck to put out the fire, all she had left was the thought of going home as soon as possible, so she fled back in embarrassment.
Shen Mengman was originally a little ghost, but after being beaten by the nine-tailed fox, he was pulled by Li Yao and ran so far in the sun, and the aura had already dissipated.
"It's all the trouble you caused! Have the ability to fight her alone, don't let her involve innocent people!" Shen Mengman yelled at Jin Ying viciously, then found a corner and curled up and entered a state of hibernation.
"Damn!" Yan'er was the first to roar, "How dare you be so arrogant, I'm going to eat her!"
This nine-tailed fox found Zhang Lei and Li Yao, undoubtedly to provoke Yan'er, and to distract Yan'er from the trick used during the duel.
Since she used crooked ways like this, Yan'er decided to ignore the matter of a fair duel and went to eat her in advance without waiting for the appointed time.
"Since this female fox can find us, it means that she has already figured out your situation, so it is better not to go to her so hastily, lest you fall into some trap. Let Ji Ao go and find out the other party's bottom first. Jin Ying, who is that Liu Mingkai? Don't you remember?" Zhang Lei looked at Jin Ying who was reminiscing on the side with a thoughtful face.
The golden moss swept past the treetops, and Suzaku flew in the sky above him, occasionally hovering and swooping down to attack the team that pursued them, and after disrupting the opponent's formation, he flew high again, spitting at the opponent.
The vine moss carried a tiger on his shoulders and two deer in his hands, so he couldn't get up to speed, and his plan to get rid of the pursuers came to naught several times. Finally, in a clearing in the middle of the forest, he was surrounded by the youkai who were chasing him.
"Manjin Moss, you are so ruthless, you killed my two sons at once, I fought with you!"
"Manjin Moss, you relied on Suzaku to do evil, how many innocents have you killed, and today the old and new accounts will be repaid by you together. ”
"Yes, I want you to pay for your life today!"
"Blood debt, blood debt, vine moss, see where you run! Your end has come!"
"If you surrender obediently, Lao Tzu will give you a good time!"
The youkai shouted one after another, but none of them wanted to be the first to rush forward, for the Suzaku had already landed on the shoulders of the manjin moss, looking at them with the eyes of food.
When they saw the Suzaku now, more than one youkai regretted in their hearts, why didn't they think of uniting against it when it was young? If they could unite at that time, the young Suzaku and the almost negligible manjin moss would definitely be able to capture it.
But at that time, almost all the monsters who discovered the existence of a Suzaku in the mountains and forests were tight-lipped, hoping that others would not know that they were the only ones who kept the secret, and in the end they could monopolize the Suzaku and be proud of the world from then on.
Not only did they rack their brains to think about how to subdue the Suzaku bird, but they also wanted to desperately pull the hind legs of others while carrying out their own plan to capture the Suzaku bird. It is precisely because of these open and secret battles that the manjin moss and the Suzaku are given a chance to breathe, the Suzaku will grow up slowly, and the manjin moss will become stronger and stronger in the continuous fighting, and now it is finally difficult to deal with them.
If at the beginning everyone's idea was to monopolize the Suzaku, then now what they want is to surrender this Suzaku first, and then whoever can get it in the end, it is not too late to seize it by their own means.
As for the attached manjin moss, of course, no one wants to ask for it, and there are countless monsters that have been eaten by Suzaku over the years, so this blood debt is good on the manjin moss.
Seeing that the encirclement kept shrinking, Suzaku suddenly turned into flames and pounced on the youkai in front of him.
No one wanted to go head-to-head with Suzaku's flames, and just as they were about to dodge, they saw the mangakum suddenly turn around and rush in the opposite direction, and Suzaku also returned to normal in an instant, and followed the mangaku's turn and ran.
The monsters didn't expect them to do this, and they were about to pass by and disappear into the woods in the blink of an eye.
"Hell, when did they learn to be silent!" the surprised voices of the youkai came from behind.
Of course, this kind of little trick is nothing in the eyes of the old monsters, but after many years of dealing with the manjin moss and the red bird, they have long been accustomed to the single way when the father and son duo attack, and suddenly saw the scene in front of them, no wonder they didn't react for a while. Could it be that this low-level cranberry has also learned to be cunning?
During the run, the manjin moss gradually felt the food on his shoulders become heavy, and the life in the mountains and forests for many years made him very clear that when there were many opponents, he should not think about hunting for food, but should think about escaping.
So when he passed by Liu Mingkai, who was resting under the tree, he threw the food that had become a burden for him into Liu Mingkai's arms.
Under the premise of taking the needs of Suzaku as the principle, Manjin Moss has developed a good habit of never wasting food, so he is reluctant to throw away the food in vain, hoping to put it with Liu Mingkai, and when he comes back, he will be able to leave a little for Suzaku to eat.
A few seconds later, Liu Mingkai's desperately running figure appeared next to the manjin moss.
"You bastard!" Liu Mingkai roared with his fist, looking at the manjin moss, his eyes revealing unconcealable resentment, this guy actually threw the monster corpse to himself, isn't this a clear explanation to the pursuers that he is his comrade?
The manjin moss looked at him suspiciously, why did he throw away the food and run with him? did he also want to chase himself with them? But Liu Mingkai did not do what the manjin moss imagined, because he kept speeding up, and after a while, he ran in front of the manjin moss.
The manjin moss looked at his back, and his eyes were even more confused.
This strange chasing party ran through the trees, causing a commotion, and from time to time the pursuers were hit by the attack of the manjin moss or the Suzaku and left the group, but there were still many youkai who joined the chase halfway, so the group chasing after them did not shrink.
