Chapter 253 Night Raid (Part 4)
Mona quickly held her breath, took a few steps back, and took out a small bottle from her arms, which contained the antidote they had prepared earlier.
She quickly sprinkled the antidote on herself to prevent the poisonous mist from invading.
At this time, the guards of Meng Mansion were also struggling to resist the fire and trying to put it out.
But the fire was so big that they couldn't get close.
In the chaos, Meng Qi saw a familiar figure flickering in the firelight.
She was startled and took a closer look, and it turned out to be Yu Zhongdou.
Yu Zhongdou also saw Meng Qi. He quickly walked through the crowd, came to Meng Qi and said, "Mrs. Meng, are you okay?"
Meng Qi nodded and said, "I'm fine. Master Yu, why are you here?"
Yu Zhongdou said: "Lili woke me up in the middle of the night."
[Yes, that’s right, it’s me!] 】
Lili came out from Yu Zhongdou's collar, very happy.
It is a plant and can stay awake late at night.
As it was practicing under the moon, it suddenly noticed the fire, so it woke up its host.
As a plant, no plant likes fire!
No!
If there is, it is definitely not a plant.
Humph!
Certain plants with fire attributes: [……]
Are you sick?
I was staying well in the mountain, how could this pot fall from the sky?

When Mona was fighting with the monster, the monster's attack became more and more fierce. Its huge claws kept waving, bringing up gusts of strong wind, and each strike carried the power to split mountains and rocks.
Relying on her agility and superb fighting skills, Mona cleverly dodged the monster's attacks time and time again, and slashed at the monster with the bloodthirsty sickle in her hand from time to time. Although it could not cause fatal injuries, it also caused the monster to suffer a lot and become more and more manic.
Just when Mona was in a stalemate with the monster, Yu Zhongdou rushed into the battlefield with his pet chestnut-like monster Lili.
Lili suddenly grew huge, with brown thorns all over his body, like a moving mountain of thorns, which made people feel creepy just by looking at it.
Meng Qi: “…”
No, Master Yu, you didn't tell me that your monster can grow bigger!
Then she usually lets it play with her daughter...
For some reason, I felt a chill on my back.
Yu Zhongdou did not notice Meng Qi's abnormality. He shouted to her daughter Meng Na: "Miss Meng Na, I'm here to help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hill-like Lili shot out like an arrow and instantly came to the side of the monster.
Although it is big in size, it has many branches and some thorns. It can flexibly move around the feet of the monster, making the monster very annoyed.
They would also take advantage of the monster's unpreparedness and use their sharp thorns to stab the monster's legs.
The monster felt pain and let out a deafening roar. It lowered its head angrily and tried to kill Lili with its claws.
But Yu Zhongdou's sword had arrived.
"bump--"
Sparks four cheap.
Seeing the two of them joining in, Mona's morale was boosted. She seized the opportunity, wielding the bloodthirsty sickle and slashing at the monster's neck.
The monster tried to dodge hurriedly, but its attention was distracted by Lili, and its dodging movements became slow.
Just a moment of delay, Mona's bloodthirsty sickle slashed hard on the monster's neck.
It didn't cut it off directly, but it caused a deep wound, and blood gushed out of the wound.
Seeing this, Lili launched another attack. Its branch with thorns and spikes quickly climbed onto the monster's back and stabbed into it fiercely.
The monster twisted its body in pain, trying to shake off the branch, but the branch was tightly grasping its scales and could not be shaken off.
Finally, it ran out of strength, swayed a few times, and fell heavily to the ground.

The high priest sat on a high seat in the temple, stroking a black bone staff in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.
The deputy priest and a group of temple masters beside him were also looking forward to the exciting news.
In their opinion, with that powerful monster and the raging fire, there was no chance of survival for Meng Qi and her daughter.
Finally, a spy rushed into the temple in panic.
The high priest raised his head suddenly, a gleam in his eyes, and asked anxiously: "Is it done? Are Meng Qi and her daughter dead?"
The eyeliner knelt on the ground, lowered his head very low, and said in a trembling voice: "High Priest, things...things have changed. Not only are Mengqi and her daughter not dead, but their shop was open for business as usual this morning, as if nothing happened last night."
The high priest's face turned pale in an instant, and he slammed the bone staff in his hand to the ground. A loud "bang" echoed in the temple.
"Impossible! That monster is so powerful, and with the fire surrounding them, how could they possibly escape? Did you get the wrong information?"
The high priest roared, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
The spy was so frightened that he trembled all over and said quickly, "High Priest, I dare not lie. I saw Miss Mengna standing in front of Zui Xiang Lou with my own eyes, greeting guests as usual, and Madam Mengqi was also arranging business matters in the Linyin Hall."
The deputy priest's expression also turned very ugly. He frowned and said, "High Priest, it seems that Meng Qi and her daughter do have some tricks. We still underestimated them."
The high priest stood up and paced back and forth in the temple, the anger in his heart boiling like magma.
"Well done, Meng Qi and her daughter! They dared to go against our Poison Scorpion Temple time and time again, and they were able to escape danger. It seems that we can no longer take it lightly."
At this time, a master of the temple stood up and said, "High Priest, why don't we send another monster over and arrange some more manpower? I don't believe that we can't deal with them even with such careful arrangements."
The high priest thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you lead the people there yourself."
"Yes, High Priest."
…
That night.
The lights were on in the Meng Mansion. Meng Na was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, playing with a small dagger in her hand.
She muttered, "I don't know if the Scorpion Temple gang will send people to cause trouble again. It's really unpleasant to be so nervous all the time."
The maids beside her didn't dare to make a sound. They just stood there quietly, not daring to breathe.
Meng Qi came out of the house and saw her daughter's appearance. She sighed slightly and said, "Na'er, don't think too much. We are well prepared and are not afraid of them."
Mengna nodded and said, "Mom, I know. But the lingering presence of the Scorpion Temple is really a headache."
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, Yu Zhongdou was about to speak, when suddenly, a low roar broke the silence of the night.
The sound came from far away, carrying a heart-pounding pressure.
Mengna and Mengqi's faces changed, they looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that trouble was coming.
Soon, a huge monster appeared in the sky above the Dream Mansion.
This monster was completely different from the previous one. It emitted a faint green light all over its body and had a pair of huge wings behind it. When it flapped its wings gently, it would bring up a gust of wind.
The monster's head was like a giant bat, its sharp teeth flashed coldly, and its eyes shone with evil light.
Next to the monster, there were several people in black robes, with veils covering their faces, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
These people are the messengers of the Scorpion Temple, and they exude a mysterious and dangerous aura.
