Volume 2: Mao'er Mountain Chapter 88: Rat Demon
Before the girl's spirit was taken away, another villager came to Xiao Yue and Amu and asked them to see their daughter.
When they saw the family's daughter, they found that they had also taken away the three souls, and the symptoms were almost exactly the same as those of the previous villager's daughter.
When I asked, I found out that this girl had played with the previous girl under the banyan tree, and it was understandable that they were suffering at the same time.
But where is this murderer who has taken their souls hidden, so that people and gods have taken their souls without knowing it?
This made Xiao Yue and Amu distressed for a while.
The cunning of this murderer is comparable to that of the cat demon.
Fortunately, the murderer only took away their three souls, and there will be no danger to their lives in the short term, and there is still time for them to find their three souls.
When he was at a loss, the village chief put forward a very bold idea, he said: "Could it be that the cat demon is not dead yet, or that it has a party." ”
Although Xiao Yue and Amu also guessed this, they never dared to speculate in this regard.
Because the cat demon was put into the lotus lantern by Amu under their watchful eyes, and it was indeed burned to death by the fire in the lotus lantern, even if it could come back from the dead, it would definitely not be able to escape the prohibition of the golden lotus lantern to commit murder again, so they could rule out this point.
But the argument that the cat demon has a party makes sense.
Xiao Yue and Amu looked at each other, the two of them tacitly, and their thoughts coincided.
They also guessed that the cat demon must have a comradeship, so they decided to go to the cat demon's lair and re-investigate.
Maybe this "comrade" is hiding in the cat demon's lair.
Thinking of this, they immediately left Zhenghe Village and came to the old lair of the cat demon.
It's still so dark, it's still so dark.
The mood of this visit is different from the previous one.
This time they came with doubts, but last time they came with the mood of catching demons.
But the two of them still tried to be as careful as possible and did not make any abnormal noises.
If there really was a monster hidden here that they didn't know about, wouldn't it be a surprise?
The two of them were familiar with this place, and they didn't have much of a big deal, and after a while, they walked through all the stone chambers and passages, and found no trace of other goblins.
Xiao Yue smiled bitterly: "It seems that we have made a trip in vain, maybe our guess is wrong." ”
Amu said: "This matter is very strange, I vaguely feel that we have overlooked some very important places. ”
Xiao Yue nodded and said, "I think so too, it stands to reason that even if the cat demon has a party, it shouldn't be so blatantly dangerous in the village." ”
Amu said: "There is another suspicious place, at that time, so many children were playing under the big banyan tree, why did they only take away the souls of these two girls, but the others did nothing at all?" ”
Xiao Yue said: "Maybe it had some scruples when it committed murder. ”
Amu said: "Yes, I think so too, but what scruples does it have?" ”
Xiao Yue smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid we won't know this until we find the murderer." ”
Just as the two of them were speculating on the mystery of the case, they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the corner of the stone wall.
Xiao Yue and Amu were so alert, as soon as they heard the abnormal noise, the two of them immediately became vigilant and quietly hid their figures.
They saw that in a corner under the stone wall, something had suddenly pierced from the other side, forming a cave the size of a bucket.
I didn't know what monster was hiding in the cave, but something was already peeking out of the cave.
Xiao Yue and Amu could see it clearly, this thing had the head of a mouse, but it was a human body, less than a meter tall, wearing tattered clothes and no shoes.
I saw it snooping around, like a thief, very vigilant.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual here, he patted the dust on his body and prepared to walk towards the stone chamber at the bottom of the cave.
It behaved very cautiously, shrunk its head and tail, and sometimes when it was about to turn a corner, it would stick to the stone wall, show half of its eyes and go out to check the situation, and only tiptoe forward after making sure it was safe.
Xiao Yue and Amu suddenly saw such a rat demon, and they were shocked in their hearts, and they planned to see the situation and decide whether to catch it or not.
The two of them were as light as swallows, and they followed behind, and it didn't even notice it at all.
Soon came to the stone room full of fluorite, Xiao Yue and Amu hid in the dark to observe the rat demon's every move.
As if it had returned to its own home, it jumped directly on the stone bed and lay down.
Xiao Yue and Amu were confused for a while, looking at each other blankly, thinking to themselves where did this rat demon come from, how could it be so unscrupulous here, as if it had returned home, could it be that it was the same party of the cat demon? But why did it sneak into a hole in the ground?
This rat demon is full of elusive mysteries.
It lay on the stone bed for a while, then jumped down again, and with its hands behind its back, it looked left and right in the stone room, like a leader patrolling the unit.
That funny behavior made Xiao Yue and Amu want to laugh.
They felt that there was no need to spend time with this rat demon, and at that moment the two of them flashed into the stone room, one left and one right, and guarded the escape route to death.
The rat demon suddenly heard the footsteps, and jumped up in shock, turned around to see a Taoist priest and a monk standing at the door.
The Taoist priest looked at it with a smile on his face.
The monk folded his hands and lowered his eyebrows, without any expression at all.
It was taken aback again.
This surprise is different from the previous one, the previous surprise was due to fear, and this surprise was due to doubt.
It wondered how a Taoist priest and a monk could suddenly appear here.
Even if it reacted quickly, although it was taken aback, it was not frightened and overwhelmed, and its body flicked into the corner of the stone wall, Xiao Yue and Amu didn't know what it was going to do, it had dug a hole, and then escaped from this cave.
Xiao Yue hurriedly said: "It's not good, it wants to escape." ”
The two never dreamed that this rat demon could drill a hole at any time, and they thought that if they guarded the door, it would be impossible to escape with its wings, but they still miscalculated.
Naturally, they couldn't get into that cave like the rat demon, so they quickly ran out of the stone chamber and came to the stone chamber next door, and the rat demon was indeed here.
It was about to run away from the door, but it happened to collide with Xiao Yue and the others.
Xiao Yue smiled: "Do you still want to escape?" ”
The rat demon thief's eyes flickered, and he escaped from under Xiao Yue and Amu's crotch like lightning.
This sudden change made the two of them stunned again, turned around and ran out to chase again.
The speed at which the rat demon escaped was very fast, compared to the cat demon, in the cave, the space was narrow, and Xiao Yue and Amu couldn't spread their hands and feet, so their body shape was inevitably a little sluggish.
By this time, the rat demon had already burrowed into the cave that he had just entered, and only his long tail was still exposed.
Xiao Yue was in a hurry, and she didn't have time to think about it, a spirit rune was sacrificed like lightning and stuck on the stone wall, only to see a flash of lightning, and the rat demon let out a cry of pain, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get out.
It turned out that this spirit rune had already triggered a layer of prohibition on the stone wall, blocking the rat demon's escape.
Xiao Yue and Amu walked over, grabbed the tail and pulled it out with all their might.
I saw that its eyes were dizzy and it was starring.
Xiao Yue couldn't help laughing and said, "The little thing is running very fast!" ”
