Back at the villa, Xiao Ai is soaking up the moonlight on the balcony.
Lin Shen saw this and didn't bother her.
In fact, he didn't want the simple little guy to know about this kind of thing.
Returning to the bedroom on the second floor, Lin Shen first took out the God-inviting Token and took a look at it.
Ten of the nineteen runestones inlaid in this token have been lit up.
"Every time a runestone is lit, a level of cultivation will be increased. When all the runestones are lit, the summoned cat general's incarnation should have monk-level strength!"
Lin Shen's heart felt slightly hot.
If there is a trump card with a monk's combat power, he can go to many places in the Longyuan Mountains, and it will be easier to find treasures.
"There is also the Liuyang Talisman Sword!"
Lin Shen glanced at the storage bag and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
I was thinking about saving up my merits to exchange for a few talisman swords, but I didn't expect to get three of them tonight.
And it’s a mid-grade magical weapon like the Liuyang Talisman Sword!
He now has four Liuyang Talisman Swords in his hand.
Once the clone is summoned and combined with many magic weapons, the Nine Levels of Long Breath may not be able to survive for more than a few rounds under his hands.
"Speaking of which, the clones I've summoned so far are just ordinary ways of joining forces to fight against the enemy. Wouldn't it be better if I practiced some tricks like formations?"
The more Lin Shen thought about it, the more he felt that something was going on.
He now has six clones, and there will be more and more in the future. If he just besieges the enemy in an ordinary way, when the number of clones increases to a certain level, he will undoubtedly encounter a situation where one plus one is less than two.
After all, when facing an enemy, more people are not always better, even if the cooperation is exquisite and tacit!
But the formation is different.
There are as many formations in the world as stars, and the number of people in the formation ranges from two or three to as many as hundreds.
As long as they work together skillfully, they can exert an astonishing power that far exceeds the combined strength of the number of people!
As for Lin Shen and the many clones, their cooperation will only become more tacit, and practicing the formation will undoubtedly be like a fish in water, even more powerful than a tiger!
"I don't know if there is any formation that can be redeemed in the Academy of Merit?"
"When I get back from Silver Scale City, I'll go to the Meritorious Courtyard and have a look!"
Early the next morning.
Lin Shen came to the east gate and when he took a look, he found that Tang Yue was already waiting there.
What surprised Lin Shen was that Tang Yue was wearing casual clothes. The cat ears on her head and the tail behind her hips had disappeared. Apart from her more delicate appearance, she looked like a young girl who could be seen everywhere.
People who don't know about it would never imagine that this is a cat demon.
Yi Rong Dan?
No, that's not right, the Yi Yong Dan only has the effect of changing the appearance, but it does not have the effect of disappearing the cat's ears and tail.
Lin Shen was curious and asked immediately.
"Where are your ears and tail?"
Tang Yue was about to raise his hand to say hello to Lin Shen. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said:
"This is a disguise combined with magic and elixirs. We will use this method to cover up our ears and tail when we are walking outside."
Lin Shen suddenly realized, and at the same time felt a little regretful.
Since it was a disguise that needed to be combined with illusions to be effective, he couldn't master it for the time being.
If you want to practice illusion, you must at least have the Ming Qiao realm.
Having satisfied his curiosity, Lin Shen immediately left Linlong City with Tang Yue without any further delay.
With a giant-horned deer walking on their behalf, the two of them hurried along at a good speed and arrived at Silverscale City at noon.
Silver Scale City does not have the protection of a city defense formation, so it can only erect a tall and thick giant wall to surround the entire town.
The entire city wall is made of iron granite, which is as hard as steel. It is also blessed with many talisman prohibitions. Once activated, it is enough to cause intensive strikes on the ground and in the air at the same time.
Therefore, despite the primitive appearance of the city wall, its defensive capabilities should not be underestimated.
At least the monsters below monks, even if they attack in thousands, can never hope to break through this city wall without paying a heavy price!
However, in other aspects, the performance of the city wall is far inferior to Linlong City's city defense formation.
For example, as long as the demon clan does not attack on a large scale, it is not difficult for one or two demon clan alone to sneak into the city.
After all, the city wall is not like the city defense formation, which can prevent foreign enemies from sneaking in 24 hours a day.
Because of this, there are incidents of monsters hurting people in Silver Scale City.
In other words, not only Silver Scale City, but all subordinate cities are in a similar situation.
After showing their identity tokens as disciples of Jiuyang Taoist Academy, Lin Shen and Tang Yue passed the city gate smoothly.
Even the sergeant captain guarding the city was very diligent in sending the two people into the city.
It wasn't until the two of them were far away that the captain heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to the city wall.
Seeing this, a young sergeant next to him finally couldn't help himself and asked:
"Captain, aren't there just two long-breathing realm practitioners? You are also in the long-breathing realm, why are you so respectful to them?"
The captain turned back to glare at him and cursed angrily:
"You know nothing! Are those two ordinary practitioners of the Long Breath Realm? Didn't you see the young man's identity token? That's a disciple of Jiuyang Taoist Academy!"
"What happened to the disciples of Jiuyang Taoist Academy?" the young sergeant muttered angrily.
"Hmph, if it were just a Huang-level and Xuan-level disciple, I certainly wouldn't pay so much attention to it, but that young man is a Heaven-level disciple!"
The young sergeant was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Really? He looks to be around twenty years old at most. Is he a heaven-level disciple?"
No matter how ignorant the young sergeant is, he still understands what the four words "celestial disciple" mean.
That is almost synonymous with genius and promising future!
Especially since the man just now looked so young!
If you are a heaven-level disciple at around twenty years old, wouldn't you be a monk in seven or eight years?
Only then did the young sergeant understand why the captain was so respectful to that man.
"Jiang is still old and hot, and captain, you are so knowledgeable that you can even recognize the identity token of a heaven-level disciple!"
"Of course, I have been guarding this city gate for seven or eight years. I have seen not only seven or eight hundred but also a thousand disciples from the Three Great Dao Temples. I can recognize any identity token from any Taoist Temple at any level at a glance.
come out!"
Lin Shen was unaware of the conversation between the two defenders behind the scenes.
After entering the city, under the leadership of Tang Yue, he quickly arrived at an inconspicuous residential building.
After opening the door and walking in, Lin Shen didn't notice the smell inside until he reached the door of the living room.
"It is said that civet cats are good at hiding. It seems to be true. Their aura can be concealed to such a weak level!"
Lin Shen was secretly surprised.
If the distance was more than ten meters, and there was a wall between them, he might not be able to feel the civet behind the wall.
Of course, this is under the condition that the cultivation levels are similar.
If a civet in the Qiling Realm is there, no matter how hard it is hidden, it cannot escape his perception.
However, for practitioners of the Mingqiao Realm who have awakened the spirit response, the effect of the civet cat's hiding ability will be greatly weakened.
Even if it is a cat demon in the Tongxuan realm, it is difficult to hide it from a practitioner in the Mingqiao realm.
Arriving at the living room, Lin Shen looked around.
There are seven people in the living room, all of them are beautiful women, ranging in age from seventeen or eighteen to twenty-seven or eighteen. Their temperaments may be weak, lively, gentle, or elegant. At first glance, they are stunning.
.
It is worth mentioning that, like Tang Yue, the seven women have covered up their cat ears and tails. Apart from their more outstanding appearance, they look no different from ordinary women.
While Lin Shen was sizing up the girls, they were also observing Lin Shen curiously.
Or look up and down generously.
Or pretending to be casual and observing secretly.
If someone else were stared at like this by seven beauties, they would probably be at a loss and their face would turn red. However, for Lin Shen, who knew the true identity of their civet cats, it would be like a spring breeze blowing on his face, causing no disturbance at all.
After a long time, the oldest-looking woman in the room stood up and broke the silence.
"This must be Lord Lin Shen. Thank you for coming all the way from Linlong City to help us!"
"My name is Tang Ying, and I am considered the leader of Shen Jiangyue."
"Just call me Lin Shen." Lin Shen nodded to Tang Ying and said, "Are all Shen Jiangyue's people here?"
Tang Ying shook his head and said: "It's just part of it. Considering the danger of tonight's operation, I only summoned the sisters from the Ascension Realm."
Eight feathered cat demons?
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
It seems that Shen Jiangyue's overall strength is a little stronger than he expected.
At least it is much more powerful than the original Yamo God.
However, Shen Jiangyue should have been established not long ago, otherwise where would it be Ye Mo Shen's turn to hunt civets everywhere?
"Let's talk about the next action plan."
Without much pleasantries, Lin Shen went straight to the topic.
Tang Ying was naturally happy, and she also wanted to rescue her fellow tribesmen as soon as possible.
"The operation time is tonight. If we operate at night, it will be easier for us to cast illusions and hide the aura!"
As Tang Ying spoke, he carefully observed Lin Shen's expression.
Seeing him nod in approval, he continued.
"The target location is right here."
A map had already been placed on the coffee table in the living room, and Tang Ying pointed to a place marked with a red pen on it.
"This place was originally a manor, but after the pharmacist moved in, he built a wall along the manor and recruited many experts to serve as guards. So now it is no different from a small castle, and it is much more difficult to sneak into than an ordinary manor."
"In addition, according to the information we got last time, the number of regular guards is about fifty, and only seven or eight of them have the cultivation level of Long Breath Realm. However, after our last alert, the opponent is very likely to increase the number of guards.
, we have to consider this in advance!”
Tang Ying came slowly and explained the situation in the manor and the points that needed attention clearly and in detail.
Obviously, they had been fully prepared before Lin Shen arrived, and Lin Shen felt their strong determination to rescue their fellow tribesmen.
Unfortunately, at the same level of cultivation, the combat effectiveness of monster beasts is generally not as good as that of human cultivators.
Moreover, the civet clan is not good at frontal combat.
Therefore, even if the number of Shen Jiang Yue Feathering Realm cat monsters is no less than that of the Manor's Long Breathing Realm guards, they would most likely not be opponents in a real fight.
"The specific place where the civets are being held has not yet been found out. We have arrested several guards and servants for interrogation, but no information has been obtained. I think the place where the civets are held is secret. Only people with higher status in the manor know about it."
"After the operation begins, we will be responsible for attracting the attention of the gate guards. During this period, Lord Lin Shen and Tang Yue will sneak into the manor, look for opportunities to capture the stewards, and interrogate the location where the civet cats are kept!"
Tang Ying turned to look at Tang Yue and Lin Shen with solemn expressions.
"After finding the place of detention, Tang Yue immediately notified us. We will make noise according to the situation to attract the attention of the manor guards. You can take the opportunity to rescue the civet and leave the manor!"
The entire plan can be said to be quite satisfactory, with no major flaws.
Lin Shen had nothing to add.
If there is any flaw in this plan, it is that there are no remedies or alternatives.
Once something goes wrong somewhere along the way, it can easily lead to the failure of the plan.
When the time comes, you will either have to leave decisively, or you will have to rely on force to save people, bah, save the cat!
To be honest, if it weren't for the uncertainty about whether the target manor still had hidden force, Lin Shen would have wanted to just break in through the gate with just this apparent strength.
As long as you kill everyone blocking the way, your infiltration will be successful!
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but Lin Shen remained calm on the surface and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Tang Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes flashed with joy.
Although Lin Shen's strength is not yet clear, since General Cat has such trust in Lin Shen, he must be very powerful.
With the addition of Lin Shen, their hope of rescuing their own clan has greatly increased.
After discussing the plan, Tang Ying immediately hurriedly made preparations with his companions, leaving only Lin Shen, Tang Yue and another cat demon named Tang Mei staying in the living room.
Tang Mei is the youngest one among all the cat demons. When Tang Ying explained the plan, her eyes kept rolling, showing that she has a lively and active temperament.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Ying left, she immediately jumped in front of Lin Shen and asked curiously:
"Lord Lin Shen, I heard that you have a feathered civet. Is it true?"
Lin Shen glanced at the girl and smiled: "It's true, what's wrong?"
Hearing Lin Shen's admission, Tang Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Then do you mind raising another transformed feathered civet?"
Lin Shen was startled, but before she could answer, Tang Yue strode over, grabbed Tang Mei's ears with ease and pulled her away from Lin Shen.
"Tang Mei, don't cause trouble to Master Lin Shen!"
Tang Meixuexue screamed in pain several times, and finally broke away. She quickly ran behind Lin Shen and said with aggrieved look:
"I'm not causing trouble! How could Master Lin Shen not like me, a cute cat demon, right?"
The last sentence was addressed to Lin Shen.
Lin Shen couldn't laugh or cry, and asked curiously: "Why did you suddenly say this?"
Tang Mei stuck out her tongue playfully and said: "I heard General Cat say that you feed the adopted civet cat expensive canned spirit animal meat every day, and you eat it open, don't I envy you?
"
Hearing that this was the reason, Lin Shen was speechless for a while.
Aren’t cats supposed to be symbols of alertness and elegance?
Why were there so many foodies among the civets he met?
Lin Shen shook his head and laughed, not taking Tang Mei's words to heart.
After Tang Yue 'threatened' to report to Tang Ying, Tang Mei finally calmed down for a while.
But after all, he couldn't sit still and had an active temper. After a while, he pestered Lin Shen again and asked curious questions.
Lin Shen didn't care, and chatted with Tang Mei with great interest, just to pass the time.
During the chat, he accidentally learned that Shen Jiangyue had attacked a place where cat girls were used as maids three months ago.
When he heard this, Lin Shen's heart moved and he asked tentatively:
"The place you're talking about isn't called Night Dream Club, is it?"
"How do you know?" Tang Mei widened her eyes in surprise.
Lin Shen shook his head and laughed.
No wonder when I went to Ye Meng Guild Hall before, I heard that there was an attack and several cat girls were kidnapped. It was Shen Jiangyue who did it.
"Ye Meng Guild Hall is also involved in the illegal trading of civet cats?"
"That's not true." It was Tang Yue who answered, "We didn't know about it in advance. It wasn't until the fellow tribesmen who brought us out told us that we knew that the guild hall was different from other places. Later, we even sent those tribe members back.
.”
According to Tang Yue's explanation, the civet clan is in a rather difficult situation in Linlong City.
Even Shen Jiangyue, who is protected by General Cat, has to keep a low profile and hide her identity when traveling every day.
More civet cats are living a precarious life.
In comparison, being able to work in a place like Ye Meng Guild Hall is already a very rare and good situation.
It's true that the cat lady in the club doesn't have much freedom.
But the advantage is stability and salary subsidies.
Compared with the days of hiding and running around, it is extremely rare.
Like Shen Jiangyue's cat demon, there are only a few who are willing to risk their lives to save their own kind.
Seeing Tang Yue talking about these things calmly, as if he had been used to it for a long time, Lin Shen couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
After all, Linlong City is the sphere of influence of the human race. If the demon race wants to survive here, they will inevitably encounter a lot of criticism.
Time passed and it was night in a blink of an eye.
Tang Ying hurried back and said everything had been arranged.
So without further delay, Lin Shen and Tang Yue set off immediately and rushed to the target manor.
