Chapter 23: Catching the Demon (3)

"Ahh

A woman's exclamation suddenly came from the front, and several people invariably sought fame. At this moment, the dim green eyes of the "gray robe" suddenly burst into light.

With a "whoosh", it turned into a puff of gray smoke, rushed towards the screaming woman, and possessed her.

All this came so suddenly, and the three of them barely reacted. By the time the three of them reacted, it was too late.

"He was obviously deprived of his mana, how could he still do this?" Yu Ruo exclaimed.

Jiong Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible that he only sucked a little bit of spirit rune water, and his mana was only half broken. ”

Tang Yi looked at the possessed woman, and whispered, "Why is she?" ”

Jiong Yan was close to Tang Yi, heard what Tang Yi said, and asked suspiciously, "Do you know that woman?" ”

"She is the proprietress in the 'Jia's Inn' - Mrs. Jia." Tang Yi introduced.

Jiong Yan doesn't go out much, although he hasn't seen the proprietress herself, he often listens to Xiao Ze talk about it. Regarding Mrs. Jia's situation, Jiong Yan also knows a thing or two.

"Hahaha...... Are you not going to take my life? If you have the ability, come on. The "gray robe" was attached to Madame Jia's body, manipulating her body and making defiant gestures towards them.

Tang Yi pulled out his short sword in a rage at this time, and opened his legs to rush forward.

"No! If you rush like this, you will hurt the innocent. Jiong Yan immediately stretched out his jade flute to stop him.

Tang Yi understood in his heart and said, "Could it be that you just watched him escape?" ”

He slowly moved closer to the "gray robe" unwillingly, but as soon as he took a step, the "gray robe" attached to Mrs. Jia's body, manipulated Mrs. Jia's hands, and choked Mrs. Jia's neck.

"Gray robe" and shouted, "If you want this woman to die with me, then do it!" With an innocent person as a shield, the tone was particularly tough.

Tang Yi was furious, coupled with the eagerness to capture the demon, he pulled out the short sword with a "swish", and angrily pointed at the "gray robe".

Jiong Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed him stiffly: Reminder: "Calm down!" ”

Jiong Yan was worried that Tang Yi would not be able to control his anger, so he rushed up and killed the "gray robe", and then injured the lives of innocent people.

The "gray robe" saw that they were worried, and did not dare to do anything to him. took the opportunity to manipulate Mrs. Jia's body and escaped.

"Where to run?" Tang Yi watched him fly away, so anxious that he immediately shook off Jiong Yan's hand and cast a spell to chase after him. Jiong Yan and Yu Ruo also immediately followed.

Tang Yi chased to a small forest, but could not find the "gray robe" and Mrs. Jia.

"Did the wolf run away?" Jiong Yan and Yu Ruo arrived at the same time.

"The demonic aura seems to have disappeared. Let him run again. Tang Yi looked at Jiong Yan and said, "Alas! According to me, you shouldn't stop me and let me get rid of that demon with a sword. The words are slightly reproachful.

"Tang Gongzi, your sword stabbed down, but it was 'one corpse and two lives', and the demon life and human life were gone." Yu Ruo also disagreed with Tang Yi's move just now.

The three of them were full of confidence that they would be able to destroy the wolf demon tonight, but who would have thought that they would "kill" a Mrs. Jia halfway and create a chance for the wolf demon to escape.

Everyone is very disappointed about this.

Especially Tang Yi, he clenched his fists and hit the trunk of a tree beside him with a punch, and the leaves were shocked by this punch and fell one after another.

He sighed blankly: "Alas, the wolf demon escaped tonight, and it will be even more difficult to catch him again in the future." How do I explain this to my uncle? ”

Jiong Yan saw Tang Yi drooping his head and comforted: "Don't worry, the wolf demon can't run away." ”

Tang Yi turned his head and stared at Jiong Yan, "You shouldn't have stopped me at that moment." There was still a hint of reproach in the words.

Yu Ruo secretly felt sorry for Jiong Yan, "How can you blame Jiong Yan Gongzi......"

She wanted to defend Jiong Yan a few more words, but Jiong Yan immediately shook her hand and motioned for her to stop talking.

"There's a demonic spirit!" Tang Yi and Jiong Yan felt the demonic aura of the wolf demon at the same time.

Tang Yi raised his head suddenly, and his spirits were greatly lifted. "Huh" rushed towards the demonic spirit.

Chasing into the woods a hundred meters away, Tang Yi saw a person lying on the ground. He looked carefully at the person lying on the ground, recognized that this person was Mrs. Jia, and immediately started to plan to go over.

"Wait!" Jiong Yan also arrived, looked around, and reminded him: "Beware of the trap of the wolf demon!" ”

Tang Yi suddenly withdrew the right leg that had just stepped out.

Jiong Yan pulled out a snake-shaped hosta from his hair and quickly swiped it to the ground.

After a flash of red light, many small snakes appeared on the ground, and these small snakes scattered in all directions, slowly crawling towards the person lying on the ground.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Ruo stared at the little snake on the ground with big eyes, not understanding the meaning of Jiong Yan.

Jiong Yan watched the little snake's every move, and said slowly, "Let them explore the path for us, in case the wolf demon sets traps around."

We fell into the trap of the wolf demon just now, but fortunately we were prepared to get out of the trap smoothly.

If you fall into the trap set by the wolf demon again this time, it will not be so easy to escape. ”

"Hmm. Jiong Yan Gongzi, you still think about it thoroughly. Yu Ruo gave a thumbs up.

Tang Yi also stared at the little snake, cautiously checking for any traps on the ground.

After the little snake crawled all the way to Mrs. Jia's side, it disappeared.

"Go, there are no traps around here." Jiong Yan strode towards Mrs. Jia. Yu Ruo and Tang Yi followed Jiong Yan on the left and right.

Jiong Yan came to Mrs. Jia's side, slowly helped her up, and probed Mrs. Jia's snort with his right hand.

"How? Is she still alive? Yu Ruo saw that Mrs. Jia closed her eyes tightly and asked with concern.

Jiong Yan nodded, "She's alive, but she just fainted." ”

"Strange, why did this wolf demon's demonic aura disappear again?" Tang Yi muttered after scanning his eyes around.

Jiong Yan asked Yu Ruo to help Mrs. Jia well, got up and came to Tang Yi's side, and said, "This demonic aura seems to be ......."

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Come here, she's awake, awake!" Yu Ruo heard Mrs. Jia coughing and happily called out to them.

"Where is this?" Mrs. Jia slowly opened her eyes.

Yu Ruo helped Madame Jia up and replied, "Little forest." ”

"Why am I here?" Mrs. Jia looked around suspiciously.

Yu Ruo immediately recounted in detail how she came here.

"Ahh There are youkai! Mrs. Jia told through Yu Ruo, and slowly recalled the scene of encountering the monster. Screaming in horror.

Tang Yi came over and comforted: "Mrs. Jia, don't be afraid, that demon has already escaped." The comforting words revealed a full sense of loss.

From her voice, Mrs. Jia recognized that the man in front of her was Tang Yi.

With an acquaintance present, her frightened expression slowly regained its composure. And looked around cautiously, and asked in a suppressed voice: "Tang Gongzi, are you sure that the demon has escaped?" ”

"Please rest assured, the demon has indeed run away, and the demon spirit has dispersed." Yu Ruo replied first.

Mrs. Jia looked at Yu Ruo, then looked at Jiong Yan, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask ......who are the two of you?" ”

Yu Ruo smiled sweetly and introduced: "My name is Yu Ruo, and his name is Jiong Yan." The three of us are good friends. ”

Jiong Yan looked at Mrs. Jia carefully, and asked suspiciously, "Mrs. Jia, why don't you rest at home in the middle of the night?" ”

Mrs. Jia took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth, coughed lightly a few times, and said slowly: "Alas, my family has an urgent matter that I need to go to other places to deal with."

No, I'm just back today. I was not in good health, and I was slow to move, so I was delayed for some hours, so I didn't get home so late. ”

Jiong Yan nodded, "Oh, I see." ”

Mrs. Jia wanted to go home and asked, "Master Tang, is it safe for me to go home now?" ”

Tang Yi nodded at Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Jia was sure that she was safe, so she said goodbye to everyone: "It's not too early at this hour, I have to go home." Thank you for saving me tonight, I'll go first. ”

"Let's go back too." Yu Ruo looked at Jiong Yan and Tang Yi.

After Tang Yi looked around, he was sure that the wolf demon trail had long since disappeared, so he stomped his feet fiercely, and unwillingly jumped out from between his teeth: "Go home!" ”

"You're not catching demons anymore?" Mrs. Jia frowned and clenched her handkerchief.

"I can't catch it tonight, the demon has run away without a trace." Yu Ruo sighed.

Jiong Yan saw Mrs. Jia's nervous expression, and said, "Madam, relax, as long as that demon does evil again, we will definitely get rid of it." There was firmness in the calm tone.

Mrs. Jia lowered her head and pursed her lips. A soft "oh" sound.

After several people arrived in the town together, they went their separate ways home.

Jiong Yan and Yu Ruo walked slowly on the road, "Gongzi Jiong Yan, can I ask you a question?" Yu Ruo tilted his head and asked tentatively. Jiong Yan nodded.

"When Tang Gongzi blamed you just now, why didn't you explain?"

Jiong Yan stopped, "Tang Yi is unintentional. He was just in a hurry. ”

"But I can't blame you for being in a hurry. Besides, if you hadn't stopped him tonight, maybe that lady would have become the ghost of his sword. Yu Ruo was still angry.

"Okay, isn't that lady going back now?" Jiong Yan calmly comforted Yu Ruo.

Yu Ruo saw that Jiong Yan didn't take this matter to heart, and he also closed his mouth.

The two walked silently towards their home. When they returned home, Mu Yu and Xiao Ze were already resting.

Yu Ruo and Jiong Yan tiptoed into the house to rest.

The next morning, Xiao Ze stretched a big lazy waist, rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and after dressing, he opened the door of the room and saw Jiong Yan standing in the small courtyard with his hands behind his back, staring thoughtfully at the sky.

"When did you come back? Xiao Ze gently patted Jiong Yan's shoulder.

Jiong Yan looked at the sky and said slowly, "When we came back, you were already asleep. ”

"Did you get rid of that demon last night?" Xiao Ze stared at Jiong Yan with curiosity in his eyes.

"Alas!" Jiong Yan sighed softly.

Xiao Ze guessed a few points from the sigh, frowned and asked tentatively, "What?" Didn't work out? ”

Jiong Yan hummed softly.

"It shouldn't be, you and Tang Yi should be able to get rid of that demon smoothly, why didn't it succeed?" Xiao Ze thought that the strategy was seamless, but it did not succeed, which was unexpected.

Jiong Yan glanced at Xiao Ze, shook his head, and sighed helplessly: "Alas! This is that man is not as good as heaven. ”

"Did you encounter anything when you got rid of the demons? Let's talk about it. Xiao Ze was desperate to know the details of last night's demon hunt.

"The main thing is that a person has appeared." Jiong Yan did not tell what happened, and directly pointed out the problem.

"Huh? Who? Xiao Ze looked at Jiong Yan, his eyes full of doubts and curiosity.

"Mrs. Jia!" Before Jiong Yan could speak, Xiao Ze was so frightened by the sudden answer that he immediately turned his head to look, and Yu Ruo didn't know when he was already standing behind them.

Xiao Ze calmed down and asked, "Yu Ruo, you got up, you weren't injured when you got rid of the demon last night, right?" The tone was gentle, and the words were full of concern.

Tsk tsk

Jiong Yan looked at Xiao Ze's concerned look at Yu Ruo, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and walked to the side to look at them quietly.

Yu Ruo smiled at Xiao Ze and said, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Ze carefully inspected Yu Ruo, and after making sure that she was not injured, he also smiled at Yu Ruo and said, "It's okay, it's fine." ”

"My Fair Lady, Gentleman." Jiong Yan, who was standing on the side, suddenly rushed at Xiao Ze and deliberately joked loudly.

After hearing this, Xiao Ze's face flushed slightly, and he immediately took his eyes off Yu Ruo.

Yu Ruo didn't notice the slight change in Xiao Ze's expression, but he asked at Jiong Yan, "Gongzi Jiong Yan, what did you mean by that just now?" ”

Jiong Yan looked at Yu Ruo's stupid appearance, smiled, and said, "Nothing, I'm reciting poetry." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Ze meaningfully.

Xiao Ze immediately shouted: "I'm going to the inn, let's go first." The tone was extremely flustered.

"I'll go too!" Yu Ruo also followed Xiao Ze. Jiong Yan was alone in the small courtyard laughing at the backs of the two.
