Chu Ming tried to struggle to get up, but with the support of the three spiritual swords, his slumped posture was particularly comfortable.
Especially when a small breeze blew through the mist, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
This feels good!
It just doesn’t look as handsome as when the sword is flying... No one will see it anyway, so what’s the use of being handsome?
In this way, following the route given in the transaction, Chu Ming flew to Xifang City in a paralyzed position, as if falling asleep.
The owner of the western market, a bald old man with a white beard, has been waiting for a long time.
After learning from the on-duty disciples of Tianyan Sect that the task of cleaning up the rat demons had been taken over, he had been waiting here with a respectful face, for fear of neglecting the Taoist priest who was coming.
However, when he saw Chu Ming lying down and flying slowly, even though he had rehearsed many scenes of meetings between the two in his mind, he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked.
It turns out that Taoist Master is such a unique person, even the way he appears is so extraordinary!
"Taoist Priest! You are finally here!"
Hearing the old man's slightly excited voice, Chu Ming laughed and rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, while the spirit sword slowly floated down with him.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere fell into a very awkward situation for a time.
"..."
"..."
After a while, Chu Ming finally recalled from his half-dream that he still had important matters to attend to. He quickly put away the spirit sword and coughed a few times after landing to cover up his inner embarrassment.
"Um... I'm sorry, I'm tired from the long journey, so I made you laugh."
"Taoist Master, where is this place? How about we find a place to rest first?"
The old man bowed quickly and saluted with an especially friendly smile.
"I will arrange for someone to prepare the luncheon for you."
so good?
Chu Ming was stunned for a moment and then quickly refused, speaking sternly.
"No need, the situation is urgent. I am here just to deal with the rat demon. You should lead the way. Don't waste time."
"OK"
Seeing that Chu Ming was so responsible, the old man immediately beamed with joy, leading the way while asking questions about his relationship.
"..."
Just like that, the two came to the entrance of the village. Chu Ming looked at the deserted appearance of the village. The breeze blew the broken leaves into the air, and there was not even a single person in the streets and alleys.
"?"
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Chu Ming frowned and suddenly became alert.
"Where are the people in the village?"
"Going to take refuge"
Take refuge?
Seeing the confused look on Chu Ming's face, the old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed helplessly.
"Recently, the village has been severely plagued by rats, and there is really no place for people to live in it!"
"Didn't you say in your affairs that the rat demon is nowhere to be seen? Why is the rat plague so serious again?"
"It's true that I couldn't see it at first..."
The old man's cloudy eyes revealed a strong emotion of panic.
"But later, for some reason, the rat demons gathered more and more. Not only did they steal food, they even gnawed on people in sight. Many children were killed in their mouths."
"In desperation, I can only ask the villagers to move to another place first, and wait for the Taoist priest to deal with it."
"..."
Things are getting a little tricky now!
Chu Ming held his chin and suddenly fell into deep thought.
According to the information given by the master and the affairs department, these rat demons are all at the fourth or fifth level of Qi refining.
You want to say that I can still deal with one, but so many of them will die from exhaustion?
"I see"
Chu Ming took a deep breath, nodded slightly to signal the old man to step back, and immediately threw the Zhen Zi Dan out, intending to check the situation in the village first.
However, before the elixir had rolled very far, a group of creatures gathered like dark clouds on the main road of the village, making the hairs on his body stand up.
These creatures are as big as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, with dark and furry skin, a pair of rodent-specific incisors that are particularly eye-catching, and dynamic eyeballs that keep rolling.
These characteristics all indicate that they are rat demons.
And it’s still a group!
They even hold rakes and axes like humans!
"Shu Shu asked, who are you?"
Seeing Chu Ming's surprised expression, the leader of the rat demon holding a rolling pin suddenly walked out of the group of rats, pointed at him with the flour-covered end and screamed.
"Zhushu warns you, if you know what's going on, leave immediately!"
"..."
Chu Ming glanced at the old man and motioned for him to stay away, while he slowly walked towards the rats with sharp eyes.
"You are occupying human villages privately, and I won't cause trouble to you. How dare you threaten me?"
"Human village?"
The leader of the rat demon looked around behind him and shouted loudly.
"The Rats have been persecuted by humans, but today they revolted heroically. From now on, this village will be named Rat!"
"Shu Shu is mighty!"
"Shu Shu is mighty!"
…
In an instant, deafening cheers resounded through the sky, and various farm tools were held high in the air by the rat demon and waved continuously.
When Chu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and he kept thinking about solutions in his mind.
Obviously a head-on confrontation won't work, as the other side has the advantage in numbers.
In this case...
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Chu Ming closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and spiritual power surged out from his Dantian.
He put his hands together and rubbed them together, then suddenly opened his eyes and pointed forward to the right, and whispered in his mouth.
"Growing Bull Technique!"
"Dong dong dong..."
Suddenly, Chu Ming felt an emptiness in his dantian, and from far to near, there was a violent roar like the hooves of an ox treading the ground, and a cloud of dust was thrown up.
When the rat demons saw this strange phenomenon, they immediately became confused and swarmed back in panic, shouting and screaming.
"Run, Rats!"
"???"
Chu Ming also looked back at the herd of cattle running toward him, his pupils shrinking suddenly.
His meow's bull-growing technique turns out to be a galloping beast?
Wouldn’t this also hit me?!
Chu Ming subconsciously ran forward as well, after all, anyone who saw a group of mad cows coming from behind would do the same involuntarily.
As a result, what can be seen is a herd of cattle made of spiritual energy passing through the village, madly chasing the escaped rat demon and Chu Ming.
"What did you do! Take them back quickly!"
The leader of the rat demon looked at Chu Ming, who was running away with him, and said angrily. This actually made him suddenly react.
I’m not on the same team as you!
Chu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly summoned the True Child Pill to beat the rat demon leader beside him half to death. He stood still and waited for the cattle to rush towards him, feeling extremely nervous.
However, these cattle passed through him as if they were passing through a house, and rushed towards the rats crazily. As the giant hooves stepped on them, painful groans resounded through the sky. In the blink of an eye, blood and flesh splattered in the village, like a purgatory among rats!
Chu Ming frowned and quickly dragged the unconscious rat demon leader to the corner of the alley. He slowly squatted down and took out a crystal bead and placed it between his eyebrows.
Suddenly, with a flash of black light, a thick black mist instantly surged out of the crystal bead.
The black mist penetrated along the middle of the rat demon's eyebrows like a living thing, and after a few breaths, a palm-sized rat demon spirit body was slowly pulled away.
Is this a demon?
"Let go of Shushu! Shushu doesn't want to die!"
Listening to the desperate call of the rat demon, Chu Ming watched with astonishment as it was sucked into the crystal bead and melted into part of the black mist.
