After one night, Li Maicheng and Zhang Qian woke up one by one, and Miss Huang Yuqiu also got up, she was already boiling millet porridge.

Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian got up and washed their faces one by one, and then the koi monster and the giant ape monster went out to feed the horses something to eat.

Gradually, the millet porridge was also boiled, and Miss Huang Yuqiu, Bai Ruoxue, and Jin Xiqing brought bowls of hot millet porridge and pickles, and the soldiers of the mission ate them one by one.

Li Maicheng said while eating: "Miss Yuqiu, you said last night that your husband was doing coolies in the nearby mountains, what kind of coolies are you doing?"

Miss Yuqiu then said: "Brother, there is a high mantis mountain near here, where a lot of construction is being built, and a luxurious mountain pavilion is being built, and my man is carrying stones there to help build the pavilion. ”

Li Maicheng heard this and said: "Miss Yuqiu, you don't need to call me brother, my name is Li Maicheng, just call me Maicheng, or I will go to the High Mantis Mountain to see, what is going on there?"

Huang Yuqiu said, "Okay, I'll go with you, I'll see what my man is doing there?"

Li Maicheng said, "Okay." ”

Later, after they finished eating, Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, Su Chengxuan, Bai Ruoxue, Huang Yuqiu, and the five of them rode to the High Mantis Mountain, while the Koi Monster and the Giant Ape Monster stayed in the hut to protect the soldiers of the mission.

Li Maicheng and they rode horses, under the guidance of Huang Yuqiu, and gradually came to the High Mantis Mountain, only to see that a piece of pavilions were being built on the halfway of the High Mantis Mountain, and there were hundreds of laborers working there.

Seeing that they were all tired and sweaty, and they were disgraced, Li Maicheng saw this and said to Huang Yuqiu: "Miss Huang, which one is your father-in-law?"

Huang Yuqiu watched carefully, glanced at the ordinary people who were working as coolies, and finally saw him on the edge of a big mantis stone carving, and she shouted: "Vigorously, vigorously, Liu Dali......"

At this time, her man turned his head to look over, and saw Huang Yuqiu calling him, and Sui also shouted here: "Yuqiu, Yuqiu......"

When Huang Yuqiu heard this, he ran over happily, and as he ran, he suddenly tripped over a stone and fell. Liu Dali saw this and anxiously threw down the sledgehammer in his hand and ran over, but the sledgehammer just smashed on the feet of the mantis stone carving, and suddenly the mantis stone carving collapsed.

At this time, the overseer saw that the praying mantis stone sculpture had collapsed, and he scolded and scolded, rushed over, and beat Liu Dali fiercely with a leather whip.

Liu Dali was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy, and at this time, Li Maicheng was very angry when he saw this situation, and then he drew out his shadow sword and rushed over to stab the overseer, who brandished a leather whip to hit Li Maicheng, and Li Maicheng slashed hard with the Zhuying sword, cutting the leather whip into one cut after another.

The overseer saw that Li Maicheng was menacing, and shouted: "Praying Mantis King, bring someone to save me." ”

Suddenly, a tall and mighty man, wearing a cloak, with a head that looked like a praying mantis, and a big knife, came over with a large group of praying mantis demons.

The leading praying mantis king said viciously to Li Maicheng: "Where did you come from, who is not afraid of death, who dares to spread wild on my territory, because you don't want to live." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Oh, it turns out that you are praying mantis spirits and monsters." ”

The praying mantis king then said: "What if it's a praying mantis essence, now that the praying mantis stone carving is broken, then Liu Dali has to pay compensation." ”

Li Maicheng said: "How many silver taels, I'll help him compensate." ”

The praying mantis king said, "I think his wife is very good, so pay us his wife." ”

And Liu Dali heard this and said: "Bah, don't think about it, even if I die, I have to stop it." ”

And the mantis king waved his hand, and suddenly several mantis demons pressed Liu Dali to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Maicheng said viciously: "Quickly release him, otherwise I will level this High Mantis Mountain and demolish your Mantis Pavilion." ”

The praying mantis king laughed and said, "Oh, what a big breath, it really scares me." You said to demolish my mantis building, you will demolish it, it's really a cowhide blowing the sky. ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he shouted: "Xiaotian, Ruoxue, Chengxuan, do it." ”

After Zhou Xiaotian, Bai Ruoxue, and Su Chengxuan heard this, they rushed over with their weapons and fought with those mantis demons.

And Li Maicheng stabbed violently with the Zhuying Sword, stabbed to death several praying mantis demons who were pressing Liu Dali, and quickly pulled Liu Dali and ran out, while Bai Ruoxue grabbed Huang Yuqiu and quickly left the place of right and wrong.

When the praying mantis king saw that Li Maicheng and they were about to flee, he shouted a large number of archers, and suddenly the mantis demon pulled the big bow, and then shot a large number of arrows at Li Maicheng and Zhou Xiaotian.

And Su Chengxuan brandished the Qinglong Sword to block those flying arrows, Liu Dali and Huang Yuqiu hid behind Li Maicheng and them, and the people who were working as coolies saw that those praying mantis spirits were fighting with Li Maicheng and them, so they were so frightened that they dropped their sticks to do coolies and fled down the mountain one by one.

When the mantis king saw that the coolies were about to flee one by one, he ordered the archers to turn around and shoot the fleeing coolies.

Seeing this, Li Maicheng was furious, he took the Zhuying Sword and flew up quickly, rushed to the archer array, slashing and killing one by one mantis demons, and one of the mantis demon archers suddenly pulled the bow and shot, and suddenly the arrow hit Li Maicheng's thigh, and the blood flowed immediately.

Seeing this, Su Chengxuan went to save him, but it was too late, and Li Maicheng was still tied up with iron chains by those praying mantis demons.

Seeing this, Bai Ruoxue slashed and killed one mantis demon after another with the double knife of Killing Ming, and wanted to save Li Maicheng, and at this time, the praying mantis king shouted loudly with the order: "Withdraw for me, withdraw quickly." ”

Then those praying mantis spirits kidnapped Li Maicheng and disappeared.

And Su Chengxuan chased after him with the Qinglong Sword, and chased him to the Mantis Pavilion that was under construction, but this Mantis Pavilion had not been built yet, it was empty, and those mantis demons were not here at all.

Su Chengxuan had no choice but to look around, but he still couldn't find any trace of those mantis spirits, so he had to come out again and meet Zhou Xiaotian.

Su Chengxuan said to Bai Ruoxue: "Sister-in-law, the senior brother was captured by those praying mantis essences, I searched for it just now and didn't find it." ”

Bai Ruoxue cried and said, "Maicheng, Maicheng, I'm going to find him, he's in danger." ”

Su Chengxuan grabbed her and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go back, and then call Senior Brother Koi, Senior Brother Giant Ape, and Senior Sister Xiqing, and we will come to those praying mantis to calculate the accounts." ”

Bai Ruoxue cried and said, "Okay then." ”

Then Su Chengxuan and Zhou Xiaotian took Liu Dali and Huang Yuqiu down the High Mantis Mountain and went back to Huang Yuqiu's house.

They walked the mountain road and walked for an hour before returning to Huang Yuqiu's house.

After returning to Huang Yuqiu's earthen house, Zhang Qian saw Bai Ruoxue crying, but didn't see Li Maicheng, and asked Bai Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, what's wrong with you, why are you still crying, Maicheng, where did Maicheng go, why didn't you come back with you." ”

Bai Ruoxue cried and said, "Master, Maicheng was captured by those mantis spirit monsters. We went after it, but we didn't find it. ”

Zhang Qian heard this and said: "Maicheng's martial arts are so strong, how can they be caught by that mantis essence." ”

At this time, Su Cheng Xuan said: "Master, those praying mantis spirits have a large number of archers, and Senior Brother was caught only after being shot by an arrow." ”

Zhang Qian said: "Then we will go to save Maicheng now, a few of you who are junior brothers and sisters will go, go to find the nest of those praying mantises, and then find and rescue Maicheng." ”

And at this time, Liu Dali said: "Don't be, donor, those praying mantis essences are very powerful, we coolies are actually not willing to go to the high mantis mountain to do coolies, they are all captured by those praying mantis essences one by one." ”

Zhang Qian heard this and said, "You mean that you were arrested, how were you arrested?" ”

Liu Dali said: "Donor, those praying mantis spirits can fly, they will roll up a black cloud, and then we will flow to Sui Town, and sweep away one by one young adults to the high mantis mountain to do coolies, now, those coolies have escaped down the mountain one by one, then they will still come recently, will come to roll away batches of young adults and then go to the high mantis mountain to do coolies." ”

Zhou Xiaotian heard this and said, "Brother Dali, then we can only wait here for those praying mantis spirits to come to Liusui Town to make waves." ”

Liu Dali said: "Yes, when they come to Liusui Town, you will stop them and stop them from catching those coolies again." ”

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Then let's do it, we are always ready and waiting for them to come." ”

Liu Dali said: "You haven't eaten here yet, I'll make some delicious food for your mission with my daughter-in-law, and I am grateful for saving my life." ”

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Brother Dali, you're welcome, we're here to make trouble for you." ”

Liu Dali said: "What's the matter, you stay here, I'll cook with my daughter-in-law." ”

Then Liu Dali and Huang Yuqiu went to cook, and Bai Ruoxue and Jin Xiqing also went over to help.

And Zhang Qian, Han and Ganfu, they sat in the house, drinking water and chatting.

They were sitting in the middle of the house, when suddenly the horses outside the house became agitated and neighed.

When Zhou Xiaotian heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the house, looked out, and when he came out, he really saw that the horses were frightened, and he saw a black cloud in the distance, constantly moving towards Liusui Town.

Zhou Xiaotian took a closer look, and on the edge of the black cloud, there were still a large number of flying mantis demons, and he shouted: "Master, master, they are here, those mantis essences are here." ”

When Zhang Qian heard this, he shouted Su Chengxuan, Koi Monster, and Giant Ape Monster, and they came out to see one by one.

One by one, they went out of the house and looked up in the direction pointed by Zhou Xiaotian, and they really saw a black cloud, and there were many flying mantis demons around the black cloud.

Zhang Qian shouted: "Disciples, soldiers of the mission, prepare for battle, they are coming." ”

Then Zhou Xiaotian pulled out the Xuanming Sword, Su Chengxuan held the Qinglong Sword, the Koi Monster held the Big Hammer, the Giant Ape Monster held the Dragon Yin Sword, and Bai Ruoxue held the Killing Ming Double Knife, Jin Xiqing held the Jiuhua Sword, and Gan Fu pulled the big bow and put three arrows on it, and the soldiers of those missions were also ready with big knives and halberds one by one, waiting for those praying mantis spirits to approach step by step, and the big battle was about to break out.
