Chapter 16: The Cat and the Mouse (1)
Because the patriarch Kate knows that the power of the "Holy Envoy" adults is much greater than that of the "saints", maybe it is his current behavior of neglecting the other party, so they can use this as an excuse to punish themselves, although he Kate is the head of the clan, but Kate, who is only in the realm of the ninth-level demon venerable, is an insignificant existence in the eyes of the ninth-level demon saint Shi Laiduo, and Kate also knows the entire "demon world" , There were several strong people who had reached the level of the Demon Saint, but because they offended the ninth-level Demon Saint Shi Laiduo, they were killed by their strong strength, so when Patriarch Kate saw so many people, he realized that Liu Qi and the others should be "holy envoys", and immediately said this apologetic sentence.
Although Liu Qi knew that after being personally authorized by the ninth-level demon saint Shi Laiduo, almost all the demons or people in the entire "Demon Spirit World" except Shi Laiduo had the power of life and death, but he also knew that he couldn't use it casually, plus the Kate patriarch just didn't greet them in person, it was just a trivial matter, and there was nothing wrong with it, plus Liu Qi and their group had just arrived at the family land after all, how could they be angry because of such a trivial matter, so, Liu Qi smiled and said: " Patriarch Kate, this is just a trivial matter, you don't need to be like this, by the way, I am Liu Qi, the temporary leader of our group, these are my colleagues, today we randomly selected your clan to inspect, and we have to thank Patriarch Kate for more support later. Then, Liu Qi introduced Zhou Zhuoxi, Liu Zhaoxiang, Mu Ningxue, Wen Ruyu, Ping Jiayong, Meng Fanlin, Xiao Zijie, Yao * Gang, Jiang Tianrui to the Kate patriarch and the last "saint" Xiao Ming, Patriarch Kate met with everyone one by one with Liu Qi's introduction, and then, Patriarch Kate immediately instructed the middle-aged man who had been standing quietly by the door just now: "Ah Chuan, you hurry up and inform all the other elders in my clan who are now in the clan, just say." The Holy Messenger's Lords have come to our people, and let them come and meet them as soon as possible. The man called "Ah Chuan" immediately replied, "Okay, Patriarch," and walked outside.
After Patriarch Kate instructed his own clan to gather the elders of the other clans, he immediately spoke again: "I'm sorry, my lords, I forgot to invite you into the room when I talked to you, come on, everyone please come in!" After Patriarch Kate said this, he opened the door of the room and invited Liu Qi and a group of eleven people into the room, as soon as he walked into this room, Liu Qi and a group of eleven people found that although this room does not look big on the outside, the space inside is not small, except for a large log table in the middle, more than a dozen chairs have been placed around the table, and after everyone sat down randomly, Patriarch Kate continued: "By the way, everyone" Holy Envoy 'My lord, I don't know if you chose to come to my cat demon clan land today, is there something special that Lord Shi Laiduo needs our clan to do?" Hearing Patriarch Kate's inquiry, Liu Qi opened his mouth and said: " Patriarch Kate, in fact, today the ten of us will be the first to come to your clan, it is just a random decision made by everyone, of course, there is nothing special for Lord Shi Laiduo to do for your cat demon clan, but because we all don't know the specific situation of your clan, so I have to trouble Patriarch Kate to help me give me a detailed introduction to the specific situation of your cat demon clan. ”
As soon as Kate heard what Liu Qi said, he knew that the reason why they came over was just a random decision, and it was not that Lord Shi Laiduo had any special requirements, so he was completely relieved, as for the details of his cat demon clan, Liu Qi and their outsiders must know very little, but for Kate, who has been the patriarch for thousands of years, it is not too easy, so Kate patriarch opened his mouth to explain to a group of eleven people, including Liu Qi, and through the explanation of Kate patriarch, Liu Qi and other eleven people also have a more detailed understanding of the specific situation of the entire cat demon clan, and also learned about a history that has never been recorded in the past that few people know.
It turns out that the ancestor of the cat demon clan lived before the establishment of the Shengyuan calendar, a domestic cat in the human family, this domestic cat every day for the food safety of the owner's home, tirelessly guarding day and night, and because of the day and night guard of this domestic cat, so a litter of eight mice living in this human family was unlucky, since the first of the eight mice in this nest was caught and eaten by this domestic cat, the remaining seven rats in this litter, no matter who dared to go out to find food, but no food is fatal for any kind of animal, so there is really no way to a mouse, I had no choice but to convene a meeting with the other six mice to study the countermeasures. The mouse said to the other six mice, "Brothers and sisters, since this damn house cat came into this house, grabbed and ate one of our brothers, and caused us to be unable to get food, I believe everyone hates this house cat to the core, right?" This brother is right, but unfortunately we rats have always been almost used as food for domestic cats, and even if we hate this damn domestic cat, we can't do anything about it!" The other five rats were all concerned, but the first one to speak said again: "That being said, who decreed that we rats must be food for this damn domestic cat? Why can't we rats use this damn domestic cat as food?" Unfortunately, although this mouse bragged in front of his siblings that he didn't need to make a draft, if he really wanted to do it at that time, he wouldn't dare to lend it another hundred guts.
People say: "The rabbit is anxious and dares to bite", and for the seven rats who are already on the verge of starvation, the top priority is to find a way to get food to survive, so the rat spoke again after bragging: " Brothers and sisters, although the domestic cat is our natural enemy, after all, there is only one domestic cat in this household, and we now have seven brothers and sisters, so if one of us goes to lure it away, then the others will definitely be able to escape its capture and obtain food. Although there is some truth in what this mouse said, but among the seven rats, none of them were willing to go out and take away the house cat by themselves, and one of the seven rats was relatively large, but a relatively large mouse broke through and said: "This brother, although I have heard you say that there is some truth, but this is only a temporary right and right measure, so it cannot fundamentally solve our long-term survival and safety problems." The rat who spoke first couldn't help but ask: "This brother, what do you mean, how can we completely solve the problem of survival and safety for all of us?" The relatively large rat who had just spoken thought for a while before he spoke: "Brothers and sisters, in order to be able to fundamentally and completely solve the problem of our survival and safety in this family, I think there are two ways. When the other six rats heard this, they immediately urged them to speak quickly: "What can you do? And the relatively large mouse, seeing the anxious expressions of the other mice, continued: "The first way is for us to move all of us and no longer live in the current house, so that we don't have to deal with this damn house cat anymore." When the other five mice heard this, they thought that there was some reason, so they were about to nod their heads in agreement, but the mouse who spoke first suddenly said, "This brother, although your method is relatively good, you have forgotten the most important point. The other five mice, who were about to approve of the move, hurriedly asked, "What is the most important point?" The mouse who was the first to speak said leisurely: "The most important point is that if there is also a domestic cat like this in the new house we moved to, what should we do?" At this time, the other five mice suddenly realized: "Yes, even if they can change houses, but who can guarantee that the owner of this new home will not adopt a domestic cat?" So, they asked for a second way.
The relatively large rat obviously knew that the first method was not feasible, so after the other six mice asked about the second method, it spoke up again: "Regarding the second method, although there is a certain similarity with what the brother just said, there is an 80% chance of success with my method, and the owner of this household can drive this damn house cat away." Although there is no way to guarantee 100% that this relatively large mouse can get the owner of this household to drive this damn house cat away, the success rate of 80% is already very large, so the other six mice all immediately opened their mouths and asked: "This brother, you should quickly say this method, and don't hang our appetite anymore." At this time, the relatively large mouse, although it was also as the six mice thought and a little deliberately hung their appetite, but under the repeated questioning of all the other six mice, he had to speak again: "Although this second method is good, it has the most important requirement before it is implemented: that is, it requires all of us to work together, cooperate sincerely, and not be afraid of danger. ”
