The monster threw the short feather arrow on the ground and walked towards Gu Xinglang. Its speed was not fast, but its target was clear.
When Xiaozhuang saw that this monster was heading straight for his prince consort, he got anxious and bent down, reaching out to carry Gu Xinglang and run away.
Gu Xinglang just gritted his teeth and took out another short feather arrow from the quiver.
Xiaozhuang was so anxious that he shouted: "Prince Consort, arrows are useless to him!"
Gu Xinglang said: "Don't panic, we can't escape."
Xiaozhuang took a look at the monster that was getting closer and closer to them. The yamen runners standing beside him and Gu Xinglang retreated one after another. The veins in Xiaozhuang's hand holding the knife bulged, and he was ready to fight to the death.
Gu Xinglang waved to a yamen runner who was holding a torch.
The bailiff walked to Gu Xinglang with trembling legs. Seeing the monster coming towards him, the bailiff felt that he was truly courting death if he dared to come near Gu Xinglang at this time.
Gu Xinglang put the arrowhead close to the torch, lit it, and shot an arrow at the monster's left eye, where the eyeball was already missing.
The bright light of the fire frightened the monster and it stopped.
Gu Xinglang's arrow shot into the monster's eye socket as it dropped insects to the ground.
"Set this damn thing on fire!" Xiaozhuang shouted from the side.
The yamen runners saw that the monster did not move after being shot by an arrow this time. When they heard Xiaozhuang's shout, they all followed Gu Xinglang's example, lit their arrows, and shot them at the monster.
Gu Xinglang sat upright on the recliner, and at this moment there was no sign of nervousness on Young Master Gu's face.
Xiaozhuang held his sword in his hand, staring at the monster that was only a few meters away from him and Gu Xinglang without blinking.
The monster's body caught fire, and in a moment, it turned into a human-shaped torch.
"Don't let the bugs bite you," Gu Xinglang reminded everyone, "Set it on fire."
The bailiffs were busy using fire to burn the insects crawling on the ground.
With a loud bang, the monster fell on its back.
"His head is cracked open!" an official from the Dali Temple who had been staring at the monster screamed.
Gu Xinglang also saw that in the flames, the blood-red long worms gathered into a large ball and rolled out of the flames. Gu Xinglang snatched the torch from the yamen runner and threw it directly over.
The sudden strong flames burned the insect group and quickly shrank it. A small black insect in the middle protected by the other insects also turned into nothing in the fire.
Xiaozhuang looked at the courtyard that was almost surrounded by fire. This time he did not ask Gu Xinglang's opinion. He pulled a yamen runner, and the two of them lifted the recliner that Gu Xinglang was sitting on and ran out of the yard.
When Yu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wei ran to the gate of Dali Temple, the temple was already engulfed in flames.
Xiao Wei staggered. Could the monster set fire again?
Yu Xiaoxiao called out "Xiao Gu" and then climbed over the wall into the Dali Temple.
Xiao Wei climbed over the wall and saw several bailiffs from the Dali Temple busy opening the gate of the Dali Temple. Xiao Wei hurriedly said, "Don't open the door." What if the door is opened and the monster runs out to the street?
The yamen runners did not know Xiao Wei, but they were at a loss at the moment. After hearing what Xiao Wei said, they all stopped.
Xiao Wei turned around and ran after Yu Xiaoxiao again. He saw someone had dropped a knife on the side of the road. Xiao Wei bent down to pick up the knife and then continued running.
Gu Xinglang sat in the open space outside the courtyard. Since they had discovered the monster on the flowerbed, no one from the Dali Temple dared to approach the flowerbed or the bushes. They would only stand in bright places, fearing that another monster would jump out from the dark places.
"Xiao Gu——"
Gu Xinglang heard Yu Xiaoxiao's voice calling him, coming from far away and getting closer. Soon, Young Master Gu saw a petite figure running towards him quickly.
Yu Xiaoxiao saw Gu Xinglang sitting in the open space. His clothes were not torn and there was no blood on his body. This man looked fine and not injured. Yu Xiaoxiao's wildly beating heart slowly returned to normal.
"Princess," Gu Xinglang looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao who was standing beside him and smiled.
Yu Xiaoxiao let out a long breath and sighed: "I was scared to death!"
Xiao Zhuang said: "Princess, I was also scared to death. You don't know, it's really a monster..."
Xiaozhuang had just said half of his words when he saw his princess throw herself into the arms of her husband. This happened in public and Xiaozhuang's eyes almost popped out.
Gu Xinglang was also startled, then he hugged his wife and whispered, "I'm fine."
Yu Xiao: "I'm scared to death!"
Gu Xinglang gently patted Yu Xiaoxiao's back and said, "Don't be afraid."
"I'm afraid you'll be bitten by the monster," Yu Xiaoxin said with lingering fear.
"I didn't get close to him," Gu Xinglang said, "Xiao Xiao, I'm not a fool."
Yu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath in Gu Xinglang's arms and smelled the scent of Gu Xinglang.
"I have you." Gu Xinglang saw Xiaozhuang standing with his back to them. The people around him looked terrified. Gu Sanshao quietly kissed Yu Xiaoxiao's hair and said, "How could I go and die when I have a wife here?"
eternal life
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "If you die, I will find another man!"
Gu Xinglang was stunned when he heard this, then he thought about his wife and said with a smile, "I will never look for another woman in my life."
Yu Xiaoxiao was happy and said, "What if I die?"
Gu Xinglang pressed his finger on his wife's dusty lips and said, "Then I won't look for it either."
Yu Xiaoxiao felt that if she was still monopolizing Gu Xinglang after her death, she would be too unkind, so she said, "It's fine if I'm alive. If I die, you can find someone you really love. How boring is it to live alone?"
Is this because his wife feels sorry for him being alone? Gu Xinglang smiled with his teeth showing and said, "Then you don't want to die."
Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it, how could such a powerful person like her die so young? There were no zombies in this world. Well, there were no zombies in this world, but there were monsters. Thinking of monsters, Yu Xiaoxiao felt upset again. No matter which world she went to, she could not escape the fate of fighting with non-humans.
When Xiao Wei saw Gu Xinglang holding Yu Xiaoxiao, he didn't stop but rushed into the courtyard where the fire was burning.
There were several corpses lying on the ground in the courtyard, burning in the fire. The air was full of the smell of rotting corpses. The yamen runners who remained in the courtyard were holding torches and setting fire to the long insects that had crawled all over the courtyard.
Xiao Wei heard a rustling sound under his feet. He looked down and saw a group of insects on fire rolling under his feet. Xiao Wei did not dare to step on them, as this would be like putting out the fire for the insects. Xiao Wei used a knife to pick up the insects and threw them into a nearby fire. After watching the insects burn in the fire, Xiao Wei turned around and left the courtyard. The insects were the same as the ones he saw in the Huguo Temple. It seemed to be the same kind of monster!
As Xiao Wei ran out of the courtyard, the courtyard wall collapsed in the fire and he heard a loud "bang".
