After all the government officials stood up and surrounded the salt-alkali lake, Fang Xiaoyue gave Fang Shangou another talisman and asked him to stick it on the long knife.
The task he gave Fang Shangou was to swim around the salt-alkali lake and act as a mobile force. The monster could escape from any direction. If the talismans held by the government officials could not resist it, then Fang Shangou must stop it.
Fang Xiaoyue herself was quite sure of the purpose of this trip.
After all, after eliminating the spread of the plague in Qiongshui County, Fang Xiaoyue felt that the monster had suffered some backlash, and its strength would undoubtedly drop a lot as a result.
According to the demonic aura leaked from the monster, Fang Xiaoyue is confident that he can defeat it even if it is in its peak state.
After all, during these days, he has already practiced Wuqu Zhuang and Wuqu Sword Technique to level 15!
At the same time, during this week, he will also take some time to draw the necessary talismans in his rare free time.
After making all the arrangements, Fang Xiaoyue took out a stack of talismans and struck them on the outside of the salt-alkali lake.
Once these talismans are struck, they blend into the ground and disappear as soon as they touch the ground, as if they had never appeared.
"My official is Fang Mingrui, the magistrate of Qiongshui County! Today we are going to capture the monster that caused the plague, and I ask for the help of the dragon spirit! Kill the monsters and suppress the lawless!..."
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue walked towards the salt-alkali lake step by step, holding the official seal in her left hand and muttering something in her mouth.
As he chanted, waves of dragon energy surged from all directions, forming a large pale red net in the air invisible to the naked eye.
Once this large net was formed, it instantly put tremendous pressure on the monster lurking in the salt-alkali lake.
There was only a loud bang, and the layers of salt-alkali covering the salt-alkali lake broke apart, as if the earth was shaking. A huge monster with six claws, two pairs of wings, and a mosquito head suddenly emerged from the salt-alkali lake.
The lake rose into the sky, rolling up countless water splashes and forming a huge water column.
It has to be said that this mosquito-like monster looks quite scary, with its body length exceeding six meters. Even if it is suppressed by the legal network formed by the dragon energy system, it still retains its strong strength, reaching over thirty people.
meters high.
At this moment, the talismans held by the government officials suddenly burned and turned into illusory red chains, which rolled towards the monster one by one.
The suppression of the Dragon Qi Law Net was still somewhat effective, making the monster's reaction seem to have slowed down a lot. In an instant, it was entangled with more than thirty red chains, and was tightly bound in the air.
And the ends of these red chains penetrated into the bodies of many government officials one by one.
Whenever the monster struggled desperately, the government officials were pulled forward and staggered forward.
If these government officials had not resisted desperately, they would have been pulled in front of the monster in an instant.
"Fuqi!"
The strength of this monster is undoubtedly beyond Fang Xiaoyue's previous judgment. It is difficult for the red chain triggered by the energy and blood of more than thirty government servants to suppress the monster that has been weakened by the Dragon Qi Law Network.
Of course, this is mainly because the population of Qiongshui County is too small, so the power of Longqi Legal Network has been greatly weakened.
Fang Xiaoyue believed that if it were Kuangluo County, this monster would have been weakened to the extreme by the Dragon Qi Law Network, and even the cost of moving might be extremely huge.
Fortunately, he had made various arrangements before.
With the sound of the talisman rising, the talismans that had been driven into the ground outside the salt-alkali lake also rose up. After burning on their own, they turned into fiery red arrows and shot towards the monster.
Suppressed by the double restraints of the Dragon Qi French Net and the red chain, this monster was unable to dodge these lightning-fast rockets.
In an instant, the monster was hit by all the rockets, and layers of fire burned on the monster's body.
Perhaps feeling the threat of death, the monster's struggle suddenly increased dramatically, and it even temporarily flew away slowly.
"Enter Fang Shangou!"
The reason why Fang Xiaoyue brought everyone with him was to train them, so at this time, he did not go up himself, but asked Fang Shangou to go up.
When Fang Shangou heard this, he jumped out with an arrow. The long knife hanging on his back was already in his hand. The Sky-shattering Sword Technique was running. He rose up from the ground. The talisman attached to the knife burned and turned into
A ball of red sword light struck the monster in the face.
The sword struck, and the monster tried its best to dodge.
However, the sword light was too fast. Even if he dodged in time, his two long legs were cut off by the sword light. Green blood suddenly spurted out from the severed legs, causing the monster to wail, then suddenly counterattacked, and a ball of black air flew out,
In an instant, Fang Shangou, who was unable to dodge, was knocked away with him and his knife.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue could feel that Fang Shangou's vital signs were still good and not fatal.
However, the monster at this time can be said to be trying its best. Countless black energy spread out, constantly corroding the dragon energy net and red chain that bound it.
While the black demonic energy corroded the Dragon Qi French Net and the red chain, the demonic creature's speed became a little faster, and it rushed towards the outside of the salt-alkali lake.
Seeing that the monster was about to break free, Fang Xiaoyue had no choice but to take action herself.
He grabbed a talisman with his right hand, burned it suddenly, and then turned into a short sword without a hilt.
"Martial Arts Sword Technique!"
After an instant, streaks of starlight fell from the sky, as if being pulled by invisible force, falling towards the dagger and blending in.
The starlight above the dagger was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
"go!"
As Fang Xiaoyue drank lightly, the dagger suddenly came out of his hand, dragging countless stars behind him, and slashed towards the monster.
At this time, the monster suddenly felt an invisible threat of death enveloped him, and the struggling movement suddenly became more intense.
But no matter how hard the monster struggled, it could not escape the sword.
The sword light flew past, and the monster's huge body suddenly paused. Then the dragon's energy net and the red chain dissipated on their own. The government officials couldn't hold their feet back and rolled to the ground.
The next moment, the monster suddenly separated from the middle and fell towards the salt-alkali lake, but Fang Xiaoyue waved its hand and pulled it to the lakeside.
"You all come here, carry this monster's body back to the county town, clean it, and make soup to share with the people."
After making such arrangements, Fang Xiaoyue left first, leaving Fang Shangou and the other government officials grinning and enduring the pain. They tied the monster's body with chains, lifted it with all their strength, and returned to the county town.
Fang Xiaoyue naturally did not leave to return to the county town, but at the moment when the monster died, he felt a strange wave of monster energy.
Following this wave of demonic energy, he chased to the border between Qiongshui County and other counties, and then lost his target.
Firstly, because as the county magistrate, Fang Xiaoyue mobilized dragon energy to trace the whereabouts of monsters, but it was only within Qiongshui County. There was nothing he could do outside Qiongshui County.
Secondly, the tracking talisman he possesses is not as good as the dragon energy tracking.
What's more, the monster was extremely cunning. After escaping from Qiongshui County, it erased its remaining monster aura.
There is no doubt that Fang Xiaoyue will be able to come up with the answer after gathering these circumstances and sorting them out a little.
The mosquito monster that he killed before was probably just the one who was pushed out by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Although the plague is definitely inseparable from the mosquito monster, the real plan at this time is undoubtedly the escaped monster.
In desperation, Fang Xiaoyue could only turn around and return to the county town.
There is no other way. Before your strength reaches a certain level, you can only take care of Qiongshui County first.
The mastermind behind the scenes will inevitably lurk for a period of time after his actions fail, but he will eventually act again, thus revealing his flaws.
Since Fang Xiaoyue can now use the magic talisman to speed up with less effort, when he returned to the county town, Fang Shangou and his party had not yet returned to the city.
After Fang Xiaoyue had people go to meet him, the moment Fang Shangou and others carried the monster and stepped into the city gate, it was like an invisible wave spread out, making the entire county become lively.
According to Fang Xiaoyue's instructions, Fang Shangou would introduce to the people from time to time when he led people to carry the monster on the streets. This was the source of the plague. The plague that killed hundreds of people in Qiongshui County was caused by this monster.
came out, and now this monster was beheaded by the county magistrate!
After the news came out, the people in the whole city put down what they were doing and gathered on both sides of the street, looking at the dead monster with hatred, and their eyes looked at the government officials who were carrying the monster.
At the same time, I was filled with gratitude and admiration.
This also made the government officials who followed Fang Xiaoyue into the battle this time involuntarily puff up their chests, feeling this strange feeling that they had never experienced before.
After all, the former government officials were regarded as cruel and inhumane in the eyes of the public!
Whether it is collecting taxes or doing business, these government officials will always find ways to extort people, and if they don't comply, they will threaten them.
In short, in the eyes of ordinary people, these guys are not good people.
There are many words among the people to describe government officials as very bad.
This is true for everything from horse shit to official status, to black government offices, blind dogs, etc.
And those government officials actually knew that the common people looked down upon their profession.
But it seems to have changed today. When I went out with the county magistrate, I seemed to have become a hero.
In this way, when the monster was carried to the open space in front of the government office and put down, and the people gathered around to ask, the government officials boasted proudly, slightly embellishing the story of following the county magistrate out to slay the monster.
"You don't know, that monster rushed up to me and wanted to disembowel me! Who am I? Have I ever been afraid? I raised the iron ruler and slapped the monster on the head hard...
..”
"The great master was the first to take a fancy to my bravery. When the monster came out, I was the first to rush forward..."
Amidst the boasting of the government officials, the common people opened their mouths one by one and subconsciously said uh, wow, ah.
When Fang Xiaoyue learned that Fang Shangou and others were back and came out of the yamen, the open space in front of the yamen was filled with densely packed human heads surrounding the monster's corpse.
"Folks! Folks! This time I came to Qiongshui County to take up the post of county magistrate under the emperor's order. Naturally, I cannot allow monsters to go unpunished..."
Taking advantage of most of the people in the county gathered here, Fang Xiaoyue, after publicizing his achievements, asked Fang Shangou to dismember the body of the monster.
Those government officials couldn't do this.
Because after the death of this monster, the body became extremely hard, and ordinary knives were cut on it, not to mention cutting in, and even some sparks flew out, which was extremely shocking.
Only after Fang Shangou used the Sky-shattering Blade Technique was he able to cut the monster's corpse into eight pieces.
As for Fang Xiaoyue herself, as the magistrate of Qiongshui County, it is impossible for her to work as a butcher.
After Fang Shang'ou received the order, he stepped forward with his long knife and started chopping with a whirring sound. In a short time, he chopped the monster's body into dozens of pieces.
After that, Fang Xiaoyue took out the talisman and cleaned up the remaining evil spirit on the monster's body.
This is a necessary process, otherwise, those ordinary people are just mortals. Once they eat meat containing monster energy, they may be severely affected and turn into monsters.
This kind of thing has happened before.
A hunter in a certain county was hunting in the mountains and accidentally killed a dying sika deer. As a result, after he cut the deer into eight pieces and ate the stewed meat, within a few days, he was affected by the evil spirit and his behavior changed.
His behavior became weird, and he even grew antlers and hair, and finally transformed into a bloodthirsty sika deer demon half a month later.
Of course, even though he turned into a monster, the hunter did not fare well. After eating more than ten people, he was killed by the soldiers of the Inspection Department.
But in the eyes of dignitaries, the meat of these monsters is an excellent nourishing product!
Because after these monster meats are cooked by Taoist officials, the demonic aura can be removed, leaving only the meat containing a large amount of essence.
Fang Xiaoyue needed these monster meats to replenish the bodies of the people in Qiongshui County.
Although these people had been eliminated from the plague before, the damage caused by the plague had not actually healed and was lurking in their bodies like hidden wounds. This would also cause them to age prematurely in the near future and even shorten their lifespans.
After using more than a dozen exorcism charms to clean the monster meat from beginning to end, the dark-looking monster meat became bright red and natural, and completely lost the hardness before. I stretched out my hand and poked it, and it bounced Q.
Bouncy.
People who don’t know it probably think it’s freshly killed pork.
"Take out the big pot, cut the meat into small pieces and stew it. Remember to add some grains and seasonings to stew it into broth to replenish the bodies of the villagers."
After Fang Xiaoyue gave these instructions, the government officials immediately got busy.
Those who cut meat cut meat, and those who carry grains to the warehouse carry grains.
The common people also went home to get bowls.
They are not stupid. Since the government distributes broth for free, they must be more active.
As for the people who were originally scattered outside the county town and were rescued by the government officials, they knelt down towards Fang Xiaoyue one by one, chanting Fang Xiaoyue's kindness.
