Xu Tianqi walked forward, walked to the side of the river mussel demon, and then grabbed the mussel meat that the river mussel demon was exposed to and was already cooked under the shocked gaze of the villagers, and tore off a large piece of mussel meat from the river mussel with slight force and put it in his mouth, and then chewed it.

"Well, it tastes good, there is a faint milky fragrance, and there is a little fishy smell, but the meat is too old and difficult to chew, it turns out that the monster is this taste"

Xu Tianqi said while eating, and after chewing for a while, he swallowed the mussel meat into his stomach with a grunt, and suddenly a hot force poured out of his stomach and went straight to his whole body.

"Sure enough, the meat of the monster has a huge amount of energy, and this small piece of river mussel meat contains more energy than the meat of three rats, which is probably unbearable for ordinary people with this mouthful, and the nosebleeds are direct."

Xu Tianqi nodded with satisfaction, he finally found food that he could eat to his heart's content, if ordinary food was not enough for himself, but this monster meat was enough to eat as long as a fist-sized piece.

Sensing that the surrounding environment was a little deserted, Xu Tianqi raised his head, and then saw that all the villagers were looking at him with strange eyes, Xu Tianqi was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and tore off a piece of river mussel meat and held it in his hand and asked:

"Would you like a piece?

"No, no, no, sir, you can eat, we don't want it" All the villagers suddenly waved their hands one after another, and some of the timid ones had retreated slightly to the periphery.

"Oh, that's a pity" Xu Tianqi shook his head with a sigh and stuffed the mussel meat in his hand into his mouth.

After half a sound, the members of the escort team finally couldn't help but ask, "My lord, don't you feel anything?"

"What do you feel? Not at all" Xu Tianqi was a little puzzled.

"Oh, you mean this mussel meat, it's just a little warm, and the whole body is full of strength" After a long time, Xu Tianqi finally understood what the other party was referring to and replied.

The guard's face was incredulous, "Not an adult, don't you feel your seven orifices bleeding?" and... And then... Just fell down suddenly?" the team member reminded in a loud voice.

Xu Tianqi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he asked in an unpredictable tone, "Are you saying that eating this meat will bleed and die violently?"

The escort nodded hurriedly.

"Who told you?" asked Xu Tianqi.

"Everyone knows that it was transmitted from the town a long time ago, and they say that if you eat the meat of a youkai, you will not only die but also become a youkai, and everyone in the village knows it," said the guard.

"Then you believe it?" Xu Tianqi was a little incredible, are these people stupid pigs, they will believe what others say?

"At first, some people didn't believe it, but it was true that some people bled after eating the monster meat, and some people died outright, so we all believed it," the guard explained.

"Oh?" Xu Tianqi's thoughts in his heart were uncertain, this was obviously someone spreading rumors, I don't know what his intentions were.

"Then how do you generally kill monsters, and throw them away?" Xu Tianqi asked suddenly.

"Of course not, there are also brought back, there are people in the market town to collect, but the price is not high and about the same as ordinary beasts, so we generally run directly when we encounter monsters, unwilling to fight them head-on, one is that they can't beat them, and the other is that even if they win, they will be killed and injured, and besides, the corpses of monsters can't be sold for money, so it's not worth it."

Xu Tianqi understands why the people in Xiaohe Village are so afraid of monsters, firstly, because they can't beat those monsters, and secondly, because these monsters have no value, even if they kill each other, it is useless, so when they encounter monsters, the first thought is to run, but how can humans outrun monsters, often with heavy casualties, but the more people are afraid of monsters, the more they dare not fight monsters head-on, so a vicious circle is formed.

"I don't know what the intentions of the people who spread these rumors are, whether they are people or monsters, if monsters can still be reasonable, but if they are people, they are very evil," Xu Tianqi thought.

Demon beast meat can not only be full but also has a strong energy, ordinary people can eat it to strengthen the body, if you eat it often, maybe there will be incredible changes, if this is the case, I'm afraid it's not monsters eating people, but humans take the initiative to hunt these monsters, but unfortunately now they are all broken by a mere rumor.

Looking at the curiosity and a trace of fear revealed in the eyes of the guards, Xu Tianqi knew that no matter how much he explained, he was afraid that they would not believe him, the rumors had penetrated deep into their bodies, through their blood, buried in their bones, and it was not something that could be relieved by an explanation for a while, and a special method was needed to completely break the cage in their hearts.

So Xu Rulong thought of a way to debunk the rumors, and said

"They are right, when ordinary people devour the flesh of demon beasts, they will indeed bleed and explode to death."

Xu Tianqi nodded, then glanced around at the surrounding villagers and pretended to be mysterious:

"But they only know one thing and don't know the other, the demon beast meat is actually edible after special processing, and the specially processed demon beast meat can not only be eaten but also enhance the strength of people, so that the eater becomes stronger, of course, this is the special secret of our demon exterminator, I will not tell him at all"

After speaking, without waiting for the villagers to speak, Xu Tianqi tore off a piece of mussel meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls with taste, swallowed it in his stomach, and said

"I'm very happy today, my lord, for the sake of the villagers helping me destroy the monsters before, I can let you also taste the meat of the monsters, of course, there are only ten places, and the people who are slow behind will be sorry."

"Does anyone want to come up and try it?" asked Xu Tianqi.

Everyone took a step back when they heard Xu Tianqi's words, and almost all the villagers looked at Xu Tianqi suspiciously, so they didn't believe Xu Tianqi's nonsense, and their long-term cognition imprisoned their souls, so that they didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Only a few people showed thoughtful expressions after hearing Xu Tianqi's words, and their faces were a little moved.

"Don't you want to have the same power as me? The reason why we demon slayers are so powerful is because we often eat demon beast meat, and as long as you eat demon beast meat, you will have the opportunity to become as powerful as us."

Xu Tianqi continued to tempt, it felt like a strange uncle who deceived kindergarten children lollipops.

"Really... True... Really?" asked a figure cautiously as he slowly stepped out of the crowd.

"As long as you eat demon beast meat, can you really become stronger?"

Xu Tianqi's eyes lit up, this person was Xiao Shan, a member of the villager guard team who had a relationship with him, he felt that the other party was quite brave before, and he was the only one among so many people who stood up and asked him to save Xiongli, and his temperament can be seen.

"Of course," Xu Tianqi nodded.

So Xiaoshan mustered up the courage to go forward and took a small piece of mussel meat from Xu Tianqi's hand in the incredible eyes of many villagers.

Seeing the mussel meat Xiaoshan handed to him by Xu Tianqi looked confused, it was only the size of a thumb, which was too small, not enough to stuff his teeth

"My lord, is this too small?" asked Xiaoshan.

Xu Tianqi rolled his eyes, "Do you know how precious monster meat is, it's too small, if it's too small, you can return it to me, and I'm reluctant to give it to you" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab it.

Seeing that Xu Tianqi's expression didn't seem to be fake, the last trace of doubt in Xiao Shan's heart was completely put down, even the things that the demon slayer was distressed about were definitely good things, and they couldn't be poisonous.

Hurriedly avoiding Xu Tianqi's snatched palm, Xiaoshan stuffed the mussel meat in his hand into his mouth, swallowed his stomach without chewing, and Xu Tianqi glared angrily when he saw it.

", stay away from me," Xu Tianqi said with an unhappy face.

Xiaoshan grinned, and hurried back to the crowd as if he had received a great benefit.

Seeing this, several members of the escort team also put aside their doubts in their hearts, and glanced at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.

"I!" "And me!" "I want to!" ......

Suddenly, many people raised their hands and walked towards Xu Tianqi, and some people saw that they were one step behind and still had to run, and there were more than a dozen people around Xu Tianqi.

Xu Tianqi smiled secretly in his heart, the goal was achieved!
