Chapter 403 Reproduction Speed

Xiao Yu nodded again.

He suddenly grabbed Shuyi's neck, pressed down its body, and hit its back hard with the fan.

"What are you doing!" "Let go!"

Shu Biao and Shu Bei hurried forward to help, but at the same time they were secretly shocked by the newcomer's cultivation level.

But it was too late. Xiao Yu's movements were so fast that people could not see clearly. Shu Yi was beaten so hard that he vomited violently.

This is a complete beating! Everyone was amazed.

The rat demon secretly tried to test the man's cultivation level, but failed.

Before everyone could finish sighing, a white thing suddenly came out of Shu Yi's throat. When everyone looked closely, they found that it was a rotten and swollen human child's arm!

It turns out that this rat spirit...eats people!

The emperor's face turned pale. "Well, so your intention is not to live like a human being, but to sneak in and eat people!"

Our emperor is wise.

But the Rat Demon was quick to react and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. We do eat human flesh to survive, but if we could live like humans, we could eat grains and wouldn't have to do this. We take the risk of cooperating with you so as not to go astray."

This statement was well-reasoned, and the Second Prince chimed in, saying that they couldn't eat many people, and if the barbarians from the north invaded, who knows how many people would die, so it was a good deal.

Xu Chuchu couldn't stand it anymore and whispered a few words in Jiji's ear. He immediately stood up.

"May I ask, Second Prince, how can you be sure that the Rat Demon and his companions will cooperate with us and not take advantage of the opportunity to gain personal benefits?"

The Second Prince snorted and waved his hand, and a row of fortune tellers stood out from behind him.

"To make a deal, you must have your own confidence. I have many elite physiognomists here. You are so mediocre in cultivation that you naturally dare not trade."

When this row of fortune tellers came out, Xu Chuchu secretly laughed. Their highest level was only fifth, close to sixth. I'm afraid that even if they all attacked together, they would not be able to defeat Shu Yi, a rat.

However, Xu Chuchu speculated that Shu Yi must have concealed his cultivation level from the Second Prince and deliberately showed weakness.

"Then I wonder if Second Prince knows how fast the rat tribe reproduces?" Jiji asked again.

"Reproduction?" The second prince was stunned.

In his opinion, monsters that look like humans should reproduce just like humans, one baby per year...

Jiji said seriously, "If they were given a suitable living environment, each rat couple could give birth to five thousand offspring a year. If the Emperor really allocated a city to them and provided them with a nurturing environment, how many rats would there be in the world in a year? Your Highness, have you ever thought about that?"

Jiji told the truth. Those evil rats wanted to lie, but because Xiao Yu was beside them, they didn't dare to say a word.

"Nonsense!" the Second Prince retorted. "Your Majesty, this matter should have been handled by the Imperial Observatory from beginning to end. They were incompetent and failed to perform their duties, so I did it for them. And now they are accusing me of a poor performance. How can this be justified?"

"Besides, I have discussed this with the Rat Tribe beforehand, and they promised not to cause any trouble to other cities."

This is just nonsense.

Xiao Yu chuckled: "They say, and you believe it? You are worthy of it."

"What else? Trust someone who has no ability?" the second prince asked again.

He was certain that Jiji was not capable enough, and even if this plan failed, he would still push Jiji out of this important position in the Imperial Observatory!

But this is the moment Gigi has been waiting for!

"Whether I have the ability or not, we'll know after a fight!" He stepped forward and said, "I usually keep a low profile, but I'm not incompetent as the Second Prince said!"

The Second Prince narrowed his eyes. Does this kid want to have a competition?

It's okay to compete with him, but it will be troublesome to compete with his senior sister and brother-in-law.

"Want to compete with our dignified Chief of the Imperial Observatory?" He deliberately mocked him and forced him to go in person.

"Of course." Jiji said without hesitation, turning to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am willing to challenge the Second Prince's generals. The winner will deal with the Rat Tribe, and the loser will not be allowed to interfere. Is this feasible?"

The emperor did not hesitate: "Yes."

Because of Xiao Yu's decisive battle with the previous emperor at that time, the emperor has always regarded Ji Ji as his own and has given him a lot of protection.

But he had been feeling for some time that Jiji's progress was slow, and sometimes he wasn't strong enough to defeat the Second Prince and the others, which was a headache for him.

In fact, Gigi's growth rate is not slow at all, it is much faster than that of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, he has a senior sister and brother-in-law who are extremely lucky, and the emperor doesn't know the reason. He just thinks that Xiao Yu, Xu Chuchu and others are normal and thinks that Ji Ji is slow.

Now that there is an opportunity, it is good to prove Gigi's ability.

"You said it would be a decisive match?" The Second Prince still felt that he was trying to cheat.

"One game will decide the outcome." Gigi said casually.

He stood in the open space in the middle and made a gesture with his finger, signaling the Second Prince to send someone.

Although the Second Prince already knew that Jiji's cultivation was low, seeing Jiji's confidence, he did not dare to be vague and directly sent out his strongest fortune teller, who was at the fifth level and close to the sixth level.

He had sent people to inquire about it before. Jiji is only in the middle of the third level now, with a cultivation level lower than the fourth level. He is not even worth watching.

The two men stood in the midfield. Jiji used his family heirloom dagger, and the other party used a fan similar to Xiao Yu's.

I have to say, using a fan is really cool.

It looks cool and handsome when fighting, and graceful when holding it in your hand.

Both sides approached each other slowly without saying a word, and then attacked directly.

The fortune teller's moves were similar to Xiao Yu's in the early days. He used spiritual power to push the hidden weapon in the fan. The hidden weapon carried the momentum of spiritual power and could cut iron like mud.

The difference is that this person's hidden weapon is poisoned, and his attacks are more ferocious.

His cultivation was high, and every move he made was full of momentum, which ordinary people could not resist at all.

Even Gigi could only keep avoiding it.

The emperor sighed and shook his head upon seeing this. It is a good thing for a young man to be brave, but he should also know his own limitations.

But after dodging for a while, a thin halo began to appear around Gigi. It seemed that this halo did not require his control, forming an excellent protection that blocked the power of the fan.

"How could this happen? You, you are only at the third level!" The other fortune teller hesitated for a moment.

It is not surprising that the physiognomists have protective formations during fights, but a third-level protective halo is absolutely impossible to withstand a full fifth-level attack.

A group of people would be crushed to death if they were only one level apart, let alone two levels, they would be shattered at the slightest touch.

Jiji took advantage of the opponent's hesitation, turned from defense to offense, found the right moment, and used the dagger to split the opponent's folding fan in two!

The side is split in two, not the front!

Such a thin fan was cut into two pieces of paper of the same size, but half the thickness!

The fan fell to the ground and everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
