late at night
After Li Ping'an closed the door, she shook her head vigorously and told herself not to be too nervous. But as soon as she closed her eyes, the man's smile in her mind gradually changed and became that of a madman.
Li Pingan calmed his mind and reminded himself that a one-sided massacre was going on outside.
She pushed the window gently and it opened. As expected, it was because of that man that the window couldn't be opened before.
Standing on the third floor, Li Ping'an could see farther. There was blood everywhere and broken limbs. Even though Li Ping'an had experienced a lot, she still felt like vomiting.
Li Ping'an tried her best to suppress the urge to vomit, touched her wrist, and released both "Exploding Octopus" and "Cuckoo". At the same time, she prayed in her heart that these two ancestors would never be picky about food again. She still remembered the embarrassing scene in the woods before.
Fortunately, the black and red beads spun several times in the air and rushed towards the ape-man.
The ape-man didn't seem to be very smart. He didn't run away after seeing the two beads. Instead, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the "explosive octopus" into his stomach. The next second, there was a "bang" and the shattered ape-man's body was scattered all over the ground.
Li Ping'an turned his head and looked at "Cuckoo" again. "Cuckoo" was still floating in the air, with strands of red lines spreading out from its body. The soft and boneless red lines penetrated into the ape-man's eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
To Li Ping'an, it seemed that the thin red line would break in the next second.
The ape-man thought so too. The ape-man with the red line drilled into his body pulled the red line with his hands nonchalantly, as if he wanted to pull it out, but unexpectedly, the more he pulled, the deeper the red line drilled into his body.
A man huddled in a corner, holding his head. The ape-man in front of him was about to lift him up with his arms outstretched. The man's legs were shaking, and he was so frightened that he almost died. However, he did not feel the pain he had imagined.
He opened his eyes tentatively, but saw the ape-man in front of him kneeling on the ground with his head hanging down, motionless.
The man didn't dare to reach out to confirm whether it was dead or alive, and took the opportunity to escape.
The man on the roof naturally saw the two beads, but seeing that Li Ping'an had no intention of leaving, he ignored him.
Since Li Ping'an already knew the scene outside the inn, the barrier was of no use. The man waved his hand, and a layer of transparent barrier disappeared. Suddenly, the ears of the people who were sleeping were filled with faint wailing sounds.
Some light sleepers were woken up and went to the window to take a look at the scene outside. The timid ones sat down on the ground and crawled under the bed. The braver ones picked up their weapons and watched by the window, but they did not have the courage to rush outside. Only a few brave and courageous people rushed out of the yard with their weapons.
Li Ping'an has a clear understanding of her own strength. Apart from the fact that she can be resurrected after death, she is no different from the ordinary people on the street. If she rushes down, these apes will only fight each other a few more times, and the street will be stained with more blood.
After blowing up a few apes, the "Exploding Octopus" floated back into Li Ping'an's hands. Li Ping'an didn't have high expectations for it, as her main focus was on the "Cuckoo".
To others, those red lines as thin as cow hair seemed to appear out of thin air, but in Li Ping'an's eyes, the rapidly spinning red bead in the air was the source of the red lines.
In a courtyard five miles from the inn, a middle-aged woman was looking up at a red bead in the air, her eyes filled with fervor, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid. Meanwhile, a nearby ape-man, seemingly pumped with energy, rushed frantically towards the "Drunken Wine House."
The houses on both sides of the road were shaken by the earthquake, and the people hiding inside covered the mouths of their children, hoping that the massacre would end soon.
The middle-aged woman swayed and wanted to follow the ape-man to the "Drunken Tavern", but was stopped by someone. At the same time, many masked men appeared in the city, and they raised their knives and chopped off the eyes and heads of the ape-man. The situation in the city remained stable for a while.
A young woman with a high ponytail and wearing a black riding uniform slapped him, "How dare you be so rude."
The middle-aged woman was unable to dodge and took the palm strike head-on. She immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, she stepped back, putting some distance between herself and the young woman, and flipped her palm.
The middle-aged woman recognized that the woman in front of her was the mayor of this city. Although she looked young, no one knew her actual age. The middle-aged woman frowned. She should have been invited to lead people to hunt sea monsters in the East China Sea, so why did she suddenly come back now?
The city lord didn't care what the woman in front of him was thinking. His eyes were slightly red. She led her men back as soon as she received the news, but she didn't expect that she was still a step too late. Thinking of the tragic scenes she had seen along the way, the city lord took off the knife on her back.
The middle-aged woman opposite was naturally not willing to be outdone and picked up a lamp in her hand.
Li Ping'an naturally didn't know what was happening in the yard. If she were there, she would probably be surprised that one of the people was actually an old acquaintance of hers.
She was looking intently at the street. Just now, a group of well-trained masked men in black clothes appeared from nowhere and instantly cleared out the remaining apes on the street.
However, I don’t know what is so attractive about this inn that attracts the apes. From Li Ping’an’s perspective, groups of apes are constantly running towards here from a distance.
Li Ping'an was watching intently when suddenly there was a knock on the door. "An'an, can we come in?" Zhao Jingyan's voice rang out.
Li Pingan didn't turn around, but just shouted, "Come in."
After a while, Zhao Jingyan and her sister stood beside Li Pingan and looked out the window together, "How come so many ape-men suddenly appeared?" Zhao Jingyan frowned, full of confusion.
"I don't know," Li Pingan shook his head. He found that the apes' movements were very regular, as if someone was directing them. "Maybe someone let them in."
To be honest, Li Ping'an was very suspicious of the man on the roof, but she had no evidence and she couldn't throw dirty water on him for no reason.
The man on the rooftop looked at the small courtyard in the distance, a mocking smile on his lips. Want to snatch someone from him?
"Hey, safety, what's that red line flying around in the air? Do you know?"
Zhao Jingyan was awakened by the noise outside. As soon as she woke up, she saw the hellish scene outside. She was so scared that she woke up instantly. She immediately opened the door to find Zhao Ziyu, but found that Zhao Ziyu was eager to fight the ape-man outside, as if he wanted to jump out and fight in the next second. Zhao Jingyan was so scared that she immediately pulled her to find Li Pingan.
With her existing experience, she could recognize the other things, but the thin red line in the sky. She looked at it for half the night and still had no idea what it was.
"Oh, this is my secret weapon." Li Ping'an did not stop him. After all, when the "Cuckoo" flies back, there will always be some sharp-eyed people who can see it.
Hearing Li Ping'an's answer, "That's amazing." Zhao Jingyan's tone was full of envy.
As the two were chatting, a scarlet bird flew out, landed in the pile of apes, and breathed fire at the smaller apes.
"This is your companion spirit pet." Li Ping'an saw that the bird flew out from Zhao Ziyu's body.
Zhao Ziqi shook her head. "I don't have a companion pet. This is just a bird I caught."
Although Zhao Ziyu said it casually, Li Pingan felt that this little bird was no ordinary creature. Considering that it could kill an ape-man by pecking and spitting fire, it should not be ordinary.
Li Pingan looked at Zhao Jingyan who was watching excitedly, and after enduring it again and again, he asked, "Aren't you going to train your companion spirit pet?"
It took Zhao Jingyan a while to realize that Li Pingan was talking to her, and she quickly waved her hands, "No, my mantis is so small, it will be stepped on to death."
"Crushed to death" Li Ping'an was confused. From what Zhao Ziyu said before, she thought that the companion spirit pet would follow its master for life.
Zhao Jingyan nodded, "Yes, after being trampled to death, it will take ten days for it to be resurrected."
"It was so painful when it was resurrected." Zhao Jingyan said as she shook her body, "I don't want it to die again, it hurts too much." She still remembers the painful feeling, like breaking a person's bones into pieces and then piecing them back together bit by bit.
Li Ping'an didn't expect that this companion spirit pet was actually the same as himself. Thinking about the feeling of being resurrected several times, Li Ping'an also shuddered. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
"What about your wind? The one that can blow away the insects with just a whirl." When they were in the grove before, he didn't know Zhao Jingyan's ability and was really scared by her.
Zhao Jingyan coughed when he heard this and said, "Watch it carefully."
As he spoke, Li Ping'an looked intently at the ape-man not far away, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see any ape-man being blown away by the wind. So, he turned around and looked at Zhao Jingyan, his eyes full of confusion.
Zhao Jingyan saw Li Ping'an's confusion and pointed, "The ape-man in front of the woodpile just swayed a bit, didn't you see it?"
To be honest, Li Pingan really didn't notice it, but he didn't want to undermine Zhao Jingyan's self-confidence, so he had to say, "Ah, I didn't see that ape man just now."
"You don't have to worry about my face." Zhao Jingyan took out a piece of mung bean cake from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth. "I know my own weight very well."
As he spoke, Zhao Jingyan took out two more mung bean cakes from his arms and gave them to Li Pingan and Zhao Ziyu.
Holding the mung bean cake in his hand, Li Pingan saw a flash on Zhao Jingyan again and felt optimistic.
"I heard from your sister that you wanted to go down just now," Li Ping'an took a bite of the mung bean cake and asked Zhao Ziyu who was standing beside him.
Zhao Ziyu did not deny it, "I have observed for a long time, and I think I can kill one."
"What about the others?" Li Pingan asked, "There's more than one ape-man down there. If you kill one, what will happen if the others come around?"
"Or, if you don't kill even one, and the others surround you, what will you do?"
"It's good that you have ideas, and it's even better that you have courage, but you always have to think more about it."
