After landing, the rat-beast pushed off the ground with its two hind legs, raised its two forelimbs, and stood up. Its short body swayed from side to side and sniffed the air, as if it were smelling something.
After sniffing around, the rat-beast paused for a moment. As if it knew where Lin Xiaofei's bed was, it slowly crawled towards the bed.
"Hmm? It looks like that rat-beast has a piece of paper stuck in its mouth?"
As the rat-beast gradually approached the bedside, Lin Xiaofei could see it more clearly through the spatial bead. His eyes flashed, and he wondered, "..."
What does it mean that the rat-like beast is carrying a piece of paper in its mouth?
When it slowly crawled to within four meters of the bed, it suddenly stopped.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
A faint sound came out, and a piece of paper that the rat-beast was holding in its mouth fell to the ground.
It immediately raised its nose and sniffed the ground on the side of the bed, as if it were very excited. Something attracted it, and it quickly crawled over.
Soon, it swallowed a poisonous beast pill that Lin Xiaofei had placed in a corner of the ground.
"Creak! Creak!"
In an instant, the Poisonous Beast Pill took effect, causing its blood and qi to become disordered. Bright red blood flowed from its body, and the rat-beast's body quickly became painful, letting out several cries of pain.
With a flash of his eyes, Lin Xiaofei stopped observing, circulated his internal energy, took a step forward, and leaped out of the spatial bead, holding a long sword in his hand at the same time.
The Eighteen Swords of Gale!
He thrust the sword forward fiercely!
With the Eighteen Swift Wind Swords at the Lesser Completion stage, combined with the burst of power within his body, Lin Xiaofei unleashed a powerful sword strike.
The longsword pierced the air with the speed of an arrow, directly striking the rat beast's chest.
Creak!
A scream rang out. A sudden sword strike pierced through the air, giving the rat beast no chance to react. Its heart was pierced by the sword, blood flowed out, and it collapsed to the ground dead.
"Killed in one strike, this rat beast is quite weak."
Seeing that the rat beast was completely dead, Lin Xiaofei reached out a hand, picked up a piece of paper that the rat beast had dropped from the ground, and opened it to take a look.
"Huh? This piece of paper is for me."
After reading the first line of text, Lin Xiaofei continued reading.
Soon, anger welled up inside him. He gripped his longsword tightly and prepared to rush out of the room.
Upon reaching the door, Lin Xiaofei immediately calmed down, placed the longsword directly into the spatial bead, and then pushed open the door and walked towards the backyard.
Lin Xiaofei arrived at the back gate and looked around. He saw a young man in a white Taoist robe standing next to a large tree not far away, smiling at him as if waiting for him to come over.
That boy was Zhang Yugui, the son of Master Zhang.
After reading the note inside the house, he knew that it was Zhang Yugui, the owner of the rat beast, who had come to his door.
"He must have come for that collar, or perhaps for the red seed inside."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.
He obtained the collar after killing the rat beast. He had broken it into several pieces and obtained several magical seeds. Within the seed space bead, the seeds blossomed and bore fruit in a short period of time. He had already eaten the fruit, which greatly increased his strength.
"I've read the contents of the note. Your name is Zhang Yugui. I wonder why you're looking for me?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei walked to the big tree where Zhang Yugui was, pretended not to know him, and said indifferently.
"I've done some research on you. Your name is Lin Xiaofei."
I heard that you chased away a rat-like beast in a village before, but I don't believe it. I suspect you killed it. The rat-like beast's death is fine, but there was a collar around its neck; you must have taken it. You have to return it to me.”
Zhang Yugui said coldly.
"Return your things? What do you mean by that? I don't have a habit of taking other people's things, and I don't even know you. What would I return to you?"
By the way, I read the note. It said my second uncle, Lin Yiying, had been kidnapped. What happened?
Lin Xiaofei pretended to be puzzled and said.
However, he knew in his heart that the other party had come for that black collar, but he had destroyed it, breaking it into several pieces, so even if he wanted to give it to the other party, it was already impossible.
"Stop pretending with me and give me back my things right now."
Zhang Yugui stared coldly at Lin Xiaofei, his deep voice emanating from him:
Your second uncle, Lin Yiying, has been kidnapped. Don't you care? Or do you want to see Lin Yiying lose a leg? Or both legs?
"What did you do to my second uncle? Besides, I don't even know you, and I've never borrowed anything from you. What do I have to give you back?"
Lin Xiaofei was startled, his face darkened, and he said coldly.
The other party threatened him with his second uncle, and it seemed that they believed he had taken the collar. However, he couldn't admit it directly, so he had to play dumb.
"Since you still don't understand, let me be even clearer: the rat beast you killed was mine, and the collar on it is mine. Give it back to me now."
Otherwise, your second uncle's situation wouldn't just be a matter of losing one or both legs.
Zhang Yugui's gaze was icy, and his words were full of threat.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled and coldly said:
Do you realize you're on Qingfeng Gang territory? Threatening me like this means that if I shout, my gang members will rush out. Do you know the consequences?
"Consequences? I didn't do anything to you, what consequences could there be?"
Even if someone from your gang comes, I'll at most say, "I was just passing by when you hit on me," and then you inexplicably start yelling.
Moreover, even if you were to tell the truth of what I just said, I would not admit it.
So calling someone won't help.
However, if you don't return my collar, are you going to hide in the Green Peak Gang forever?
Or do you think that just because you've been hiding within the Qingfeng Gang, I can't do anything to you?
You probably don't know that my father is the well-known Immortal Master Zhang, do you? Once I borrow an even more powerful rat beast from my father and order it to come after you at night, you might not even be able to save your life.
Zhang Yugui stared at Lin Xiaofei and sneered.
During this time, he made inquiries from various sources and learned about Lin Xiaofei's background. Although Lin Xiaofei was a child from a poor village, he had some talent for martial arts and thus became a disciple of the Right Protector of the Qingfeng Gang branch. However, the Right Protector completely neglected Lin Xiaofei and rarely cared about him.
Therefore, he believed that although Lin Xiaofei had Zhou Huanshan's background, he could tell that Zhou Huanshan didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Xiaofei. In other words, he thought Lin Xiaofei was a weak person with a bit of background.
That's why he dared to directly threaten Lin Xiaofei.
Furthermore, was there anyone else around who heard his threats to Lin Xiaofei? And he hadn't done anything to Lin Xiaofei yet, so even if Lin Xiaofei called for help, he had nothing to worry about.
