Chapter 53: Slaying the Demon
(I'm really tired, so I'm late for today's update.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½)
Just when Zhang Qing raised his sword, thinking that he was nine out of ten, a sudden change occurred.
I saw the cat demon lying on the ground just now, and after seeing Zhang Qing walk in, his eyes suddenly flashed fiercely.
At this moment, Zhang Qing realized that something was wrong, and with an instinctive movement of his fingers, a pitch-black barrier rose in front of him.
At the same time, the cat demon's body quickly dried up, and it was just a breathing time, as if it had been air-dried for several months.
Contrary to the rapidly shriveled body, a red light gathered, and after doing so, it shot towards Zhang Qing's face with a roar.
"Poof!" the black demon barrier only blocked it slightly, and it was pierced by this red ray.
The hastily condensed barrier did nothing to help the red mang, who still rushed towards it at great speed.
Fortunately, Zhang Qing's instinctive reaction was that he still reacted a little in the face of this red mang.
"Whew!"
At the last moment, Zhang Qing's head suddenly deflected, and then an extremely slight sound was heard.
It seems that nothing hits, and it seems to hit again. Zhang Qing only felt a heat on his face, and then fell into numbness.
Subconsciously wiped his hand on his face, and Zhang Qing felt the warmth coming from his hand.
He didn't have to look at it to know that it was blood, and that the feel and taste would never be wrong.
"Damn," he scolded angrily, and Zhang Qing's heart was still beating.
This time it was really dangerous, and it could almost be said that it was a brush with death. If I hadn't felt something wrong before, I'm afraid I would have really explained it here today.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qing was afraid for a while, the breath of death had never been so close to him.
I didn't expect to be tricked by a demon today, Zhang Qing really realized the difficulty of the demon, and put away the last contempt.
Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is how to solve this cat demon.
Originally, Zhang Qing was not prepared to let it go easily, so he would not have this kind of thought.
But if you look at the cat demon again, you know that even if you don't kill it, it won't live long.
The body that was comparable to a tiger before had retracted to the size of a cat at this time, and his eyes were even more dim, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up when he was lying on the ground.
I have to say that this miserable appearance made Zhang Qing feel a little sympathetic, but this thought was forgotten in an instant.
Just think of the corpses that littered the ground, and the hearts that had not yet calmed down. Zhang Qing's eyes instantly regained their coldness, and the murderous intent in his heart became stronger than ever.
"Go in peace!" Regardless of their position, warriors who dare to fight will always get a hint of respect.
However, it is obvious that the cat demon does not appreciate it, looking at Zhang Qing, there is disappointment, regret and hope for life in his eyes.
Only he didn't have a little remorse, took a deep breath, and said again: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different." ā
This time there was no accident, the cat demon who had run out of oil did not resist, did not plead, just stared at Zhang Qing with those indifferent eyes.
The head of the cat demon rose to the sky, which can be regarded as the end of his life.
System: The task is completed, the reward will be issued, please check your reward in time.
The prompt of the system sounded, but Zhang Qing did not pay attention to these at this time, he checked the wound as soon as possible, but fortunately, the problem was not big.
However, the wound is still bleeding, and the remaining strength of the cat demon is hindering the healing of the wound.
Seeing that the wound would be difficult to heal for a while, Zhang Qing bought a few pills from the system store, and after taking it, he sat cross-legged directly on the ground, quietly waiting for it to heal.
With the effect of healing medicine, coupled with the recovery power of Zhang Qing's full operation exercises, the bleeding wound gradually stopped, and gradually began to heal.
It wasn't until the wound healed that Zhang Qing exhaled and stood up.
Today's experience was really exciting, and it also made his slightly impetuous heart cold.
"Even if I had a system, if I wasn't careful, I would die. Zhang Qing really faced this for the first time, and realized that reality is different from games after all.
However, after standing quietly for a while, his face hooked up a smile again, and he said confidently: "But you still have to fight, if you are afraid all day long, what difference does it make if you have a system or not?"
This thrilling experience made Zhang Qing realize the importance of caution, but it did not dampen his enterprising spirit.
One can be cautious, but not cowardly. Zhang Qing has always remembered this sentence and regarded it as a classic.
Of course, Zhang Qing glanced at the shriveled corpse of the cat demon with resentment, no matter how much he could see it, he couldn't change the fact that he was almost killed, if he didn't breathe a good sigh of relief, it would not be Zhang Daochang's personality.
"Hmph, detain the soul," sneered, Zhang Qing pinched the law with his hand, ready to detain the soul of the cat demon and 'entertain' it.
Most of the souls of the dead will temporarily attach themselves to the body, and when the first seven are reached, they will either return to heaven and earth, or turn into a yin soul.
I didn't see the soul of the cat demon before, Zhang Qinghao thought that the other party was a demon clan, so after death, the soul had a soul, and saw that he was hiding in the body, so he used spells to detain the soul.
But where did I think that the method of soul detention was completely useless. Zhang Qing saw that there was no reaction, and he was unwilling to detain his soul a few times, but he was still like this.
"What's going on?" Zhang Qing was a little angry, after all, he was still ready to take revenge, how could there be no object for revenge.
After tossing and turning for a while, Zhang Qing finally reluctantly accepted the reality, and for some reason, the soul of this cat demon was gone.
Since there was no soul of the cat demon, Zhang Qing had no choice but to put away the corpse of the cat demon, change his clothes, and return to the caravan.
When Zhang Daochang's figure floated down from the mountain, everyone couldn't help cheering.
You must know that for ordinary people, the pressure brought by the appearance of the cat demon is too great, if it weren't for Zhang Qing's existence, maybe everyone would have been killed at this time.
So at this time, if you want to talk about worrying, the people in the caravan must be the most worried about Zhang Qing's safety, especially after it gets late.
"Dao Chief, you're back, I don't know ......" The team leader came up as soon as possible, and asked with a hesitant face.
As soon as these words came out, the other Jeans who were shushing the cold and asking for warmth also stopped talking, and looked at Zhang Qing with expectant eyes one by one.
Regarding everyone's worries, Zhang Qing naturally understood, but fortunately, he didn't mean to take care of it, so he took out the corpse of the cat demon from the storage compartment and threw it on the ground.
"Bang!" Although the demon trunk of the cat demon is deflated a lot, it is still more than one circle larger than ordinary domestic cats at this time, and when it is thrown on the ground at this time, it also splashes a little dust.
Clapping his hands, Zhang Qing said casually: "This is that thing, a cat demon." ā
Although he is dead, and the demon body has shrunk severely, and the head and body are separated, the hideous face and sharp claws seem to still exude a fierce aura, telling all people that it used to be a demeanor.
The momentum of the demon beast was compelling, coupled with the shock that it had killed people in front of everyone, so at this time, some people couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Ahh ā
"Yes, I saw a demon for the first time in my life, but I didn't expect a demon to be like this. ā
"This cat demon is so fierce, fortunately there is a long way, otherwise everyone would be in danger. ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
For the demons that only exist in legends, everyone obviously has a strong interest, of course, fear and fear are also indispensable, and Zhang Daochang's kindness is even more remembered by everyone.
"Poof!"
At this moment, the leader of the team suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Qing and cried loudly: "Thank you Qingyunzi Daoist for eliminating the demon for our people, this crime is extremely evil, killing hundreds of Lao Li and other merchants, this time we are almost in trouble, if it weren't for the Daoist here, I don't know how many people we have to sacrifice to find this demon, and I don't know how long it will take to get out of it."
This demon occupies the Twin Gorges, which will definitely lead to the severance of traffic between Linyi and Gulin County, and the people will suffer. ā
After saying that, he even kowtowed to the ground, just listening to the thumping sound, you knew how hard he was.
"Buzz!"
At this time, everyone reacted, listening to the meaning of the leader, the caravan that set off earlier than themselves and others had already been killed, which really scared everyone into a cold sweat, and they were more aware of the possible encounters of themselves and others.
"Thank you for your kindness, and the little ones will be remembered. Just like dumplings, after everyone reacted, they all knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude.
Zhang Qing didn't have any organization about this, he accepted all this calmly, after all, the monk did his best for the human race, and he deserved to receive these praises.
In Zhang Qing's view, these are things that are not comparable to excuses, don't you deserve these thanks?
Not to mention the danger of killing demons by yourself, even if it is not dangerous, you have saved so many lives, and you should accept gratitude as a matter of course.
Don't say that there is anything wrong with this mentality, everyone knows the story of Zigong receiving cattle. If the do-gooder refuses to be rewarded, then it is undoubtedly hitting the cost of others doing good, causing fewer and fewer do-gooders.
In a similar way, the monk has the obligation to protect the Terrans, so it is normal to accept the respect of the Terrans. There is no need to show humility, if it is really humble, why do so many immortals and Buddhas desperately promote their reputation and collect incense?
So I accepted everyone's gratitude, but seeing that everyone still had the intention of continuing, Zhang Qing said softly: "Okay, I'm going to rest for a while, you send someone to collect the caravan corpses in front of you, don't disturb me here." ā
Although the praise was pleasant, it was not interesting to listen to too much, so Zhang Qing quickly found an excuse and sent everyone away.
