Chapter 54: The Cat Demon at Night (Part I)

The Taoist priests on the Queen's Street and their notices shrouded the city of Hal in the shadow of monsters, but at night, the business of the taverns in Hal City was booming like never before, and every tavern was hard to find. Other shops are also doing business with their doors open and lights on, hoping to get some business opportunities from the constant flow of people in the taverns.

The reason why the tavern owners were able to take advantage of the cat demon to make a big profit was simple: for those old drinkers who were used to calling friends to the tavern at night for a meal and drink, although the cat demon sounded terrifying, it would be more uncomfortable for them not to come to the group for a drink than to be bitten to death by the cat demon. And for those who don't go out on weekdays and don't go out at night, it's much safer to stay in a crowded tavern for a drink than to stay at home and stay alone in an empty room.

What's more, as long as everyone knows that wine can strengthen courage.

It's just that the topics that the diners in the Har City Tavern are discussing enthusiastically tonight are all cat demons without exception.

The Queen's Street became more lively, and people were chatting and laughing and laughing and making fun of each other, and the people on horseback looked around slowly to see which tavern had fewer people waiting in line outside the door. From time to time, there is a carriage "Ding Ding! Bang Bang! "Swagger through the market and ride the wind. These are all members of the security team who received the alarm and rushed to the emergency when they were alerted to the situation of drunk beating again.

At this time, there was an old black dog walking unhurriedly on the street, although the old black dog was not young, but tonight it was refreshed and old and strong, it turned out that the old black dog found a sheep bone in the garbage heap this afternoon, the sheep bone is not only thick and long but also sticky to a lot of fat, the old black dog took the bone back to the kennel and ate a beautiful meal with its group of pups.

After eating the lamb bones and coaxing the puppies to sleep, the old black dog swaggered out into the street to enjoy the bustling nightlife of Howl.

Suddenly, the old black dog noticed an anomaly at a crossroads, and a cat walking alone appeared not far in front of him. In the past, when shopping, the cat that the old black dog saw was either running away in a hurry on the side of the street, or hiding on the roof and walking quietly, but this little thing in front of him actually walked on the street unhurriedly and looked left and right to look at the scenery.

The anger in the heart of the old black dog is like a volcano that has accumulated underground for thousands of years and is about to erupt, who in this city cat does not know that my old black has to walk on this street at this time of day? This little thing dares to be so presumptuous, it is clear that he doesn't take my old black in his eyes, and I want to teach it a good lesson tonight!

"Wang! Woof! Woof! The old black dog roared three times.

The cat in front heard the roar of the black dog and looked back, under normal circumstances, a cat saw a big black dog grinning at him, crawling with his two front paws to pounce, and he was already frightened and fled for his life. But today, this cat is different, not only did it not run away, but it looked at the big black dog with its eyes, and hummed and chirped some esoteric cat language.

It turned out that the cat was a sick cat, because it had stolen a fish that the owner had managed to get his hands on at home, and he had just been beaten and kicked out of the house. And because the owner punched the cat in the head, the cat was beaten a little delirious, blurred vision, and did not realize that the danger was approaching.

The old black dog was stunned for a moment, it raised one of its front paws to wipe the old eyes, could it be that I have presbyopia? Even think of your own little kind as the damn cat?

So the old black dog stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw that it was even more angry, isn't this clearly a damn cat! It was so angry that it opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite, but the sick cat instinctively turned around and fled.

The old black dog chased after him fiercely, and the sick cat saw that he couldn't escape, so he saw a brightly lit hotel with a large gate hole on the side of the street and rushed in, and the old black dog chased after him into the hotel.

As soon as the sick cat hit a wall in the dining room, the old black dog chased after him, and the sick cat had nowhere to escape, so he could only jump onto a dining table, and just fell into a large plate of meat and splashed with oil.

The sudden appearance of a live cat on the meat plate alarmed the full table of diners. The drinker choked and choked on the meat, and just as the diner with an empty mouth was about to scream, the old black dog burst into the table and barked wildly, so startled that the diner's unspoken scream was scared back into his stomach.

The diners in the dining room all turned their faces to look, and the old black dog was even more excited when he saw so many people looking at him, and he jumped hard and put his two front paws on the dining table to climb up to catch the cat.

The sick cat let out a desolate and chilling wail, and the sound was like the cry of a human infant. In the past, people would just think of a cat as an alternative cry and chase the cat away, but today is different, and the people of Hal City are full of cat demons.

"Youkai!" A terrifying shout of change of tone rang out, and someone staggered out the door.

"Boom, la-la-......" diners in the dining room struggled to get up from their seats.

"Cat demon! Catch him! Suddenly, a muscular man shouted, and a strong smell of wine erupted from his mouth.

"Catch him! Shopkeeper, copy the guys! Someone shouted.

The sick cat realizes the danger again, and jumps through the gap between the eaters' bodies to the ground and rushes out the door. The old black dog understood, it turned out that it was a demon cat that hit it tonight! This is a godsend for me to show off my old black. It chased after it, and as soon as it went out, the two dogs kept their eyes on the cat.

The old black dog pounced on the cat with all his might, and was about to grab the cat's tail. At this critical juncture, the sick cat came to its senses, jumped into a large tree on the side of the street, and then climbed high above the treetops with a gust of wind.

The old black dog ran to the bottom of the tree and barked wildly at the tree, and the diners rushed to the bottom of the tree following the dog's barking, the barking of the dogs and the shouts of the diners echoing in the night sky of the city of Hal.

People eating, drinking, and merrymaking on the streets flocked from all directions, and some of the good deeds came under the trees with lamps and torches to brighten up the night's big show.

"The cat demon has appeared!"

The news soon spread through the streets of Howl, and people rushed to see for themselves what had never been heard of before.

There are more and more onlookers under the tree, and this usually inconspicuous tree has become the star tree tonight.

The old black dog peeked at it, but it was amazing! The whole city of Hal is watching themselves, and it depends on whether they can become the most famous dog in Hal City. The old black dog felt that it could not show its bravery with its mouth alone, and it opened its two front paws to climb up the trunk of the tree, but unfortunately, since the dog Taizu to its generation, it has never learned to climb the tree, although the old black dog repeatedly struggled upward, but its two hind paws never left the ground at the same time.

The first big man to shout out the monster cat stood under the tree and waved his hands, meaning to silence the onlookers. The old black dog hurriedly closed his mouth and put down his two front paws to climb the tree, wanting to hear what the big man had to say.

"Everyone!" Dahan's voice was full of anger, and in the blazing firelight, Dahan looked unusually tall and mighty.

"The cat demon has finally appeared, first of all, please ask which brother to hurry up and invite the Taoist to come here to command the demon hunting, and secondly, we have to help the Taoist master catch the cat demon. After the deed is completed, there will be a reward of 500 Wen, which hero can climb a tree? ”

After Dahan finished speaking, the audience was silent. The old black dog thought to himself, if I can climb a tree, I will be in the morning.

After a few minutes of silence, a young man in the crowd said loudly: "I can climb trees, but I used to climb trees to dig out eggs in birds' nests, but today the trees are not birds' nests but cat demons, in case I am bitten by a cat demon and I will die." ”

The big man under the tree waved his hand and said loudly, "Hey! Little brother, you love to eat bird eggs, but you can't turn them into bird galls. Don't forget that our ancestors are not afraid of death! In case you are bitten to death by the cat demon, not only can your family get a reward of 500 Wen, but the sixth sister and I and the people present will definitely make a request to the Ba Wangfu to let the Ba Wangfu crown you as the general of the demon eradication, and let Professor Mei record your moving story in the history books, so that you will be immortal for a hundred years, this is always okay, right? ”

The onlookers nodded frequently and said in unison: "Yes!" Yes! ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I have my parents, and when I die, they must be very sad, and making my parents sad is the son of unfilial piety, and I don't want to be an unfilial son!" The young man exclaimed.

The onlookers nodded their heads frequently, "Yes!" Yes! ”

"Since no one wants to climb a tree to catch the cat demon, Sixth Sister, I solemnly propose again: take a knife and cut down this tree and kill the cat demon! What do you think? ”

As soon as Dahan's words fell, someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "No! This tree was planted by the old king with his ancestors, and it took five hundred years to grow so tall, and I am sorry for the first king and the ancestors when the tree was cut down! ”

"Yes, you can't cut it! In case the tree falls to the east, my spicy hot pot restaurant will be finished, but this shop was built by my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, and if the shop is smashed, I'm sorry for my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather! Someone shouted.

"I'm against cutting down trees too! In case the tree falls down to the west and smashes my drunken tavern, the best tavern in Hal City will be gone! I just bought a batch of fresh horsehead flower wine from the countryside today, you haven't come to this tavern to try it, this year's horsehead flower wine is particularly fragrant! ”

Not only did he speak out against it, but he also took the opportunity to advertise his tavern business.

The big man under the tree was deflated, and they spread their hands and said helplessly: "Everyone, you are neither willing to climb the tree nor cut the tree, Sixth Sister, I don't have any good suggestions, you say how to catch this cat demon." ”

"I have an idea!" Someone in the crowd shouted, "We will defend under the tree for days and nights, this cat demon will either starve to death on the tree or flee down the tree in search of food, as long as it climbs down the tree, we can catch him!" ”
