Chapter 257 You actually support monsters? !
In the end, the Meng mother and daughter were "forced" to go to the Scorpion Temple.
There was no other way, so the townspeople gathered outside the Meng Mansion and knelt down to beg them.
What else can they do?
I could only agree.
The two of them looked calm as they walked towards the Scorpion Temple surrounded by the crowd.
There were crowds of people on both sides, and the looks they gave them were filled with sympathy, helplessness, and fear, which were very complicated.
Mona raised her head slightly and glanced at the onlookers, feeling a little uncomfortable.
So... this is what it feels like to be watched as you die!
She remembered it and just hoped that such a thing would never happen again!
Meng Qi thought she was afraid, so she patted Meng Na's hand gently and whispered, "It's okay, the mountain god will protect us!"
Mona just said "hmm" softly without making any excuses.
The door to the Scorpion Temple slowly opened, and a gloomy atmosphere filled the air.
As soon as the mother and daughter stepped into the temple, the door behind them slammed shut with a loud bang, and the entire temple was filled with a dull sound.
Inside the temple, the high priest sat on the high altar, looking down at them with cold eyes.
"Hmph, you are finally here." The high priest's voice echoed in the empty temple.
Meng Qi snorted coldly: "Didn't you ask us to come here?"
"I didn't expect that you would still be so rampant at this time! You don't think..." A trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of the high priest's mouth, "You can still walk out of here safely today?"
"Whether we can get out of here safely is not up to you!" Mona raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "I have something to tell you. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers!"
“How dare you!” the high priest shouted, “You are still stubborn even when death is imminent. Then I will let you see the true power of the Poison Scorpion Temple!”
After saying this, he quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted a spell.
In an instant, the ground of the temple began to tremble violently, and cracks spread from all directions. A huge poisonous scorpion slowly crawled out from the cracks. It was the giant hooked poisonous scorpion beast that had been hiding for a long time.
Its entire body was covered with a hard shell, and its pincers opened and closed, making a terrifying sound. Its tail was raised high, and the poisonous stinger on it flashed a faint green light.
Mengna stared at the giant hooked scorpion beast closely, and the bloodthirsty sickle in her hand appeared instantly. She protected her mother closely behind her: "Mom, be careful!"
What Meng Qi took out was a pile of talisman papers, which were given to her by the Mountain God.
Her fighting ability is not as good as her daughter's, so she just needs to protect herself.
With the appearance of the giant hooked poisonous scorpion beast, a strong stench spread out, as if countless rotten corpses were buried deep under this temple.
From the cracks in the ground, twisted tentacles first emerged, and then, monsters of various shapes slowly crawled out one after another.
The leading monster was the size of a calf, covered with a layer of sticky black scales. Each scale flashed with a strange light, as if they were countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness.
Its head was long and slender, like a giant centipede, and its mouth was filled with densely packed fangs, each of which was as long as a dagger, pointed and sharp. Dark green venom flowed between its teeth, dripping onto the ground with a "sizzling" sound, and instantly corroded into deep pits.
The other monster had a hunched body and was on all fours, making dull "dong dong" sounds as it crawled.
Its skin was rough and cracked, like burnt bark. Dark red blood oozed from the cracks, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.
On its back grew a row of sharp bone spurs, each of which curved outward like a devil's claw. Its eyes were large and protruding, occupying half of its face. Its eyeballs were a cloudy yellow color, without a trace of emotion, only endless bloodthirstiness and madness.
There is also a small but most bizarre monster. Its body is like a transparent jelly, but its beating heart and twisted internal organs can be clearly seen inside.
It moves extremely agilely, shuttling quickly across the ground, leaving behind faint trails of mucus.
Its mouth can open to an incredible degree, almost enough to swallow an entire head. Once it gets close to its prey, it will instantly attack and bite it with the sharp teeth hidden in its transparent body.
After a while, these monsters surrounded Meng Qi and her daughter.
They formed a tight circle, constantly emitting low roars and roars. The sounds intertwined together, like a death knell from hell, shaking the air slightly.
Their eyes were fixed on Meng Qi and her daughter, as if they were looking at prey that was about to be caught. As long as they received the order, they would rush forward and tear them into pieces.
Meng Qi's eyes widened in shock. She suddenly thought of something and looked at the high priest and others not far away: "You actually feed monsters?!"
I've only heard of this kind of thing before, but I didn't expect that in a small town like Lanwa, someone would do such a disgusting thing?
There are so many monsters hiding under the Poison Scorpion Temple. If there is a riot...
"Mom, didn't you teach me since I was a child that people in the temple are not good people? Isn't it normal for them to do such a thing?" Although she said so, Mona still subconsciously clenched the bloodthirsty sickle in her hand, and the blade flashed coldly under the dim light emitted by the monsters.
After all, she didn't expect that these people were so bold as to make fun of the people in a town!
Meng Qi's expression turned cold. She stared at the high priest of the Poison Scorpion Temple and asked him word by word: "You support so many monsters in the town. Do you know how dangerous this is?"
Her voice echoed in the empty and gloomy temple, carrying with it unquestionable majesty, and it actually drowned out the roars and howls of the surrounding monsters.
"Each of these monsters is wild and untamable, and filled with endless desire for killing."
As Meng Qi spoke, she walked around her daughter and slowly took a step forward, the anger in her eyes growing more intense.
"Look at them," she pointed at the ferocious monsters that surrounded her and Mona, "Their fangs, claws, and the evil power that exudes a foul smell, which one of them is not a huge threat to the lives of the people in Lanwa Town?"
"On ordinary days, you may be able to control them with your own strength, but what if they get out of control if something goes wrong?"
Meng Qi's tone became more excited, and her voice unconsciously increased. "The streets and alleys of Lanwa Town will become a sea of blood in an instant. The unarmed elderly, innocent children, and those hardworking people, what can they use to resist the rampage of these monsters?"
"By then, the houses will be ruthlessly destroyed and every inch of land will be stained with blood. The originally peaceful and harmonious Lanwa Town will become a hell on earth, with cries and requests for help everywhere, and you,"
Meng Qi turned her head sharply and stared into the eyes of the high priest. "You are the culprits of this disaster! In order to satisfy your own selfish desires and for the so-called power and intimidation, you have disregarded the lives of thousands of people. Will your conscience not be condemned?"
Mona followed her mother closely, fearing that the monsters would move suddenly and hurt her mother.
