Chapter 64 Xu Qingwan in combat mode
There are two black and one red demon pills in the box. If they were put on the market, any one of them would be worth two or three hundred taels of silver.
"Master Zhang, you misunderstood."
Wei Changtian stuffed all three demon pills into his arms and handed the empty box back to Zhang Dajin: "We are here to get rid of demons."
“…”
Zhang Dajin looked at Wei Changtian's bulging chest with great distress, and pleaded with a bitter face: "Sir, I, I really don't have any monsters here!"
Tell me, why don't you believe it?
Wei Changtian shook his head, not wanting to persuade him anymore, and asked directly, "Master Zhang, has your family lost any valuables recently? Has anyone gone missing?"
"this……"
Zhang Dajin was stunned for a moment and stammered without saying anything.
Zhou Cheng immediately jumped out to play the good guy: "Don't be ungrateful! Hiding a demon and not reporting it is a serious crime! It's enough to cost you your head!"
"Besides, this rat monster is extremely dangerous. If it doesn't die this time, it will be too late to report it to the authorities the next time it comes out to eat people!"
"Sir, please calm down! Sir, please calm down!"
Frightened by Zhou Cheng's words, Zhang Dajin fell to his knees and cried out in injustice: "I really don't know where the monster is!"
"Answer the question I just asked!" Wei Changtian shouted in a deep voice.
"Ah! Yes, yes..."
Zhang Dajin hurriedly said, "Well, I do have some lost property recently, but they are just small amounts of silver. I don't take it too seriously."
"As for missing persons... a few servants have disappeared in recent months..."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you reported it to the police?"
“No, no…”
“Why not report it!”
"Your Excellency, you are wronged! I just thought they escaped back to their hometown! I had no idea there were monsters!"
"Have you ever thought about why they ran away for no reason?"
"this……"
Zhang Dajin's face turned red and he was speechless.
When the three of them saw his expression, they knew how badly the Zhang family's servants were exploited on a daily basis. They estimated that a servant had escaped before.
But this has nothing to do with their trip, so Wei Changtian is too lazy to meddle in it.
"Alright! Tell me all these things in detail!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
At this time, Zhang Dajin was already convinced that there was indeed a monster in his house, and he hurriedly told everyone all the strange things that had happened recently.
After he finished speaking, he wailed with tears and snot: "My three lords, please kill the rat demon!"
"No matter what you need me to do, I will fully cooperate!"
"Um……"
Wei Changtian frowned and thought for a while before waving his hand: "Don't worry about killing the monster, we have our own way."
"But you have to take us somewhere first."
Zhang Dajin hurriedly asked: "Where? Sir, just tell me!"
Wei Changtian smiled slightly: "Your family's treasury."
Zhang Dajin: “…”
…
At night, it is the hour of Hai.
As it turned out, Wei Changtian didn't come to the treasury to make another fortune.
Looking at the silver and copper coins piled up in the room in front of him, he explained to Zhou Cheng and Xu Qingwan:
"This rat demon is not very interested in eating humans, but is particularly fond of gold, silver, jewelry and other things."
"As long as we hide and guard here, it will probably show up soon."
"There is such a monster?"
Zhou Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this: "No wonder the Zhang family loses money from time to time. Is it because this rat demon stole it?"
"Well, there are many strange things in the world, and there is nothing strange about it."
Wei Changtian smiled, and looked at Xu Qingwan in tacit understanding with Zhou Cheng.
“…”
Comrade Xiao Xu naturally understood what they meant, and for a moment he felt like he was about to die of embarrassment.
She wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say. In the end, she just ran to a corner without saying a word and quickly hid herself in the darkness.
It was not until this time that Wei Changtian and Zhou Cheng vaguely heard a sentence.
"I, I'll hide first..."
“…”
The two men tried hard to hold back their laughter, looked at each other, and then went to find a place to hide.
Silence soon returned to the outside of the treasury, and even the entire Zhang Mansion was quiet.
Although everyone in the Zhang Mansion was asked to do what they were supposed to do, but when they heard that there was a monster, no one dared to hang around outside. At this time, most of them hid in their rooms and dared not come out.
The moon above my head moves slowly, and the only sound in my ears is the night wind blowing through the treetops.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Wei Changtian, who had been waiting impatiently, finally noticed a strange movement.
"Swish, swish..."
It was a sound similar to that of nails scratching on the wall, very faint, as if it came from a well nearby.
Could it be that the rat demon was hiding in the well? Wei Changtian stared at the well mouth and soon saw a pair of blood-red eyes flashing by.
Sure enough! It was worth the wait!
This beast actually dug a hole in the well!
I felt secretly happy in my heart, but my body remained the same.
Rat holes are generally very deep, let alone a hole dug by a rat demon.
Therefore, the battle must be resolved outside the cave, and it must not be allowed to escape back into the cave.
Time passed little by little, and Wei Changtian and the other two continued to remain inactive.
This rat demon was also very cautious. It kept sticking its head out of the well and then retracting it back in. It repeated this seven or eight times before slowly revealing its true form.
It was not as big as Wei Changtian had imagined. It was about the same size as a medium-sized dog, and its features were basically the same as those of an ordinary mouse.
Simply put, it is an enlarged version of a mouse.
There seemed to be a slight smell of blood in the wind. The big rat circled the well twice, and then finally, under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, it quickly ran towards the gap that was deliberately left in the treasury door.
The time is now!
As agreed beforehand, Wei Changtian was the first to slowly get up from his hiding place and headed straight for the treasury quietly.
Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng did not let each other down either. They appeared almost at the same time and surrounded the treasury door from two other angles.
But the rat demon was not stupid and immediately realized that something was wrong.
“Bang!”
A noisy sound came from the treasury, and the next second, Wei Changtian ran into the big rat that was about to escape at the door of the treasury.
Without any hesitation, he drew the sword almost subconsciously, and the Dragon Roar Sword immediately flew straight towards the Rat's Head with a power that seemed to be able to cut off everything.
The entry level of the Guichen Sword - breaking gold !
The blade slashed fiercely on the bluestone ground, leaving a crack an inch deep in the splashing gravel.
Missed the target.
The rat demon successfully changed direction at the last moment, leaving only a small piece of its tail.
But it’s not a big problem, because Xu Qingwan also arrived in the other direction.
The familiar sound of a bird chirping suddenly rang out, followed by a cold light.
Compared to Wei Changtian, her sword was obviously more experienced.
Instead of chopping vertically, the knife was swung horizontally downward to cover a larger area.
After all, this rat monster is not very big, so if you want to hit the target, you have to increase the attack range as much as possible.
Facts have also proved that this choice is correct.
“Swish!”
The blade cut through the flesh, and the monster's skin, which should have been extremely tough, instantly cracked.
The rat demon screamed and rolled back to the treasury, but Xu Qingwan did not chase after it immediately. Instead, she turned around and closed the door of the treasury, then picked up a knife and rushed towards the rat demon that was running around the room with Zhou Cheng.
Wei Changtian did not rush to help. He stood behind and watched the fierce figure for a while.
This was the first time he saw Xu Qingwan take action seriously.
Calm enough, fierce enough, ruthless enough...
Hey! This is so different from your usual self! (End of this chapter)
