Chapter 44: Monsters and Beasts
The orange feather seemed to understand my words, and instantly emitted a larger area and brighter golden light, which seemed to make the youkai unable to open its eyes, but had no effect on humans.
"Run?" Zong An looked at me suspiciously, "I can't leave my clansmen behind." ”
"The youkai's target is you, not your people. They won't give you a chance to attack again, and you don't have the strength to release the law again now, so many monsters, don't you run and wait to be eaten!"
"Okay, run. Zong An's unhurried tone made me go crazy, didn't he realize how much the monsters hated him?
Under the cover of the light of the orange feathers and the guidance of the green feathers, we finally walked out of the chaotic Uoiso, and before I could catch my breath, the monsters around the Uoiso chased after us, and we had to continue to follow the green feathers and keep shuttling through the streets.
"Are the youkai forming an alliance? Why are youkai so irritable when they see you?" I said as I ran.
"How do I know!" said Zong'an, sweating profusely and his shoulder bleeding again.
At this time, the blue feather also came out of the bag, and it fell lightly on Zong An's injured shoulder, accompanied by the blue light, the wound was gradually healing!
"Ye Ke, you have really opened my eyes again and again. The blue feather disappeared after healing the wound, and Zong An moved his shoulder, looking like he had almost recovered, "I really want to know how you got the Chongming Bird to be willing to serve you." ”
"Why are you talking so much today," I have to admire Zong An's physical strength, I am already out of breath when I run, he can hold on for so long with an injury, "I can't figure out what happened now!"
"I'll talk about it later, the road ahead seems to be starting to be difficult. Zong An suddenly stopped, took out the rune paper, and in the direction of the green feathers, a huge stone monster appeared.
"Can you do it?" I asked, the big guy in front of me not looking easy.
"I'm the head of the Zong family," Zong An said, "and although I can't get rid of it under the current circumstances, I can still make this big rock immovable." ”
But before Zong An threw out the rune paper, the purple feather jumped out first, transformed into a purple arrow, and shot at the chest of the stone monster impartially, and the monster fell to the ground with a bang.
"Hey, hey, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Zong An said, "Which one is Chongming Bird singing?" ”
The monster's attack did not stop, wave after wave, Zong An and I ran not far from Tianbei groceries, the green feathers finally fell to the ground, and in front of him was a courtyard much smaller than the Bauhinia Courtyard, except for walking into the courtyard, there seemed to be no other way to go.
"Ye Ke, you let me run, now there is no way, what are you going to do?"
Behind Zong An and me, a group of monsters with teeth and claws slowly approached.
"According to the routine just now, shouldn't the feathers of the Chongming Bird come out to help us at this time?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the red feathers actually flew out, and as the red light flashed, the heat rushed to our faces, and an extra-long flame barrier at least five meters high separated the youkai from us.
“...... It's really out......" I was a little stunned by the result of the casual remark, "Where did the green feather take us?" "The small courtyard in front of me should only be across the street from Tianbei groceries, but I think I've never seen it before.
"It seems that things are starting to get interesting," Zong An pointed to the word "Wu" on the courtyard gate and said, "I heard that the Wu family used to be the most famous local family of demon killers, and before our family came to City A, the Wu family came to the door every day to ask for help. ”
"What do you mean before the Zong family came to City A? It means that you ...... after you came?"
"That's right, the people who ask for help have basically come to the Zong family, although we ask for a high price, but the efficiency and ability of my family are incomparable to this kind of small family, and they naturally have no business to do. ”
“...... You call it business. ”
"It's a responsibility, it's also a business, if you don't make money, how can so many people be fed," Zong An looked around, "Why do you think Chongming Bird brought us here? ”
I looked around, there was really nothing special, but as Zong An said, Chongming Bird had made so much effort to bring us here, there must be some reason, I walked along the outer wall of the courtyard, wanting to find some clues.
"Lord Yek. "Someone seems to be calling me?
"Lord Yek. "Yes, it was very faint.
"Lord Yek, I'm at your feet. ”
I looked up and saw that I hadn't stepped on any monsters, and it was just ordinary grass under my feet.
"There's a room at your feet. The faint voice said again, and I crouched down and knocked on the ground, and it was empty!
"Zong'an, who is underground," I began to dig through the dirt on the grass with my hands, "there seems to be a room down here." ”
After hearing this, Zong An also dug with me, and soon we saw a thick wooden board that was not large, with delicate patterns painted on the board, it seemed that someone deliberately used a spell to seal the wooden board, no wonder I couldn't feel anything, after uncovering it, a fence skylight made of steel bars appeared in front of me, this should be a basement, there was a black hole in it, and nothing could be seen.
"Lord Ye Ke, I finally see you, I am the Chongming Bird that sent you feathers. The faint voice finally became clear, and the oncoming demonic aura made people feel reliable and reassured.
“... What are you doing in this basement?" I asked, "It's too dark for I to see you." ”
"The leader of the Wu family deceived me and said that there were powerful monsters that were difficult to deal with, and I believed that I really came to help, but I was accidentally locked in this basement, surrounded by powerful enchantments that had been prepared for a long time, and I couldn't get out no matter how hard I tried. ”
"You said that the Wu family imprisoned you here?" Zong An actually used honorifics when talking to a monster, "Are they crazy, harming divine beasts is a taboo for demon exterminators, at least they will be expelled from the ranks of demon exterminators, and at worst, the whole family will be cursed, not to mention that it is you who will be harmed." ”
"You're Zong'an," Chongmingniao said, "The Wu family is dissatisfied with you for robbing them of their business, so they lured me here, so that I can't carry out the annual work of expelling the monsters, so that those monsters can take the opportunity to attack the Zong family and weaken your power." ”
"I didn't expect the Wu family to make such a decision, no wonder it can't become a big family," Zong An said, "You sent Ye Ke Seven Days Feather, not just for this matter, right?"
"Of course not," said Chongmeitori, "I found Lord Yek, because that guy has reappeared. ”
