"Don't be too proud, female fox, we don't know who will catch whom!"
"Asshole! Shut up!"
After hearing that Zhou Li was being rude, the soldiers from the two mansions pushed him to the ground with force, but the next moment they let go with a scream.
A strong jet-black miasma emitted from Zhou Li's body. The strong black miasma seemed to have strong corrosive toxicity. All the ropes that touched the black miasma were withered and broken, and even the hands of the soldiers who had touched him before were seen.
There are also traces of being burned by strong acid.
Zhou Li stood up again after freeing himself from the ropes. A strange red light shot out from his eyes, and his mediocre appearance was distorted into an almost inhuman and terrifying appearance. Ignoring the frightened government soldiers beside him, Zhou Li's eyes rolled around for a few times before focusing on
The lady in charge in front of her was spitting out words that sounded like gibbering.
"Hehe, as long as I take you back..."
"Protect Your Highness!"
The palace guard who came back to his senses hurriedly stood in front of the female hero in charge, and Wu Yan also grabbed the red whip with a solemn expression. Gu Chen glanced at the pot monster from a distance, trying desperately to avoid the black miasma spreading around it, but before he had time to react, over there
Zhou Li, who was surrounded by many people, suddenly sneered and stretched out his fingers.
"Ashes to ashes..."
In an instant, the black miasma that filled the streets emitted flames like burning kerosene.
In an instant, a violent explosion erupted from the burning fire miasma, and the entire street was overturned.

"Chirp! Chirp!"
Clusters of colorful flower plants grow in the farmland covered with scaffoldings, making strange chirping sounds in the breeze. Although it looks harmless to humans and animals at first glance, those flower plants are actually the tentacles of grass monsters.
, as long as it detects someone approaching, it will launch an indiscriminate jet attack.
The grass monster is a strange monster born from the spiritual atmosphere, and it is also an existence like a natural disaster. The seed bullets it sprays have the power to penetrate even thick wooden boards, which is a challenge for the settlers who only have hoes.
opponent.
The only people who can suppress the disasters of wild monsters are pioneers equipped with spiritual weapons. However, Qingheji has spent a lot of money on reorganizing the settlement and has no spare money to hire pioneers. As a result, the nearby fertile fields are clearly in season for harvest, but because of this, they can only
To be able to watch the fruit rotting in the soil and sigh——
This situation has changed recently.
A female swordsman who traveled here knew about Qingheji's troubles, and she bravely took on the important task of eliminating harm for the people.
"Chirp!? Chirp!"
The grass monsters who noticed the female swordsman's approach began to commotion.
Large flower plants swayed as if in the wind, and instantly sprayed seeds like hail bombs at the approaching figure.
Seed bullets with hard shells and terrifying rates of fire covered a small half of the farmland. However, there was no figure of the female swordsman among the scattered scaffoldings - the "Thunder Walk" movement technique of the Thunder Sword was a continuous movement.
A movement technique that is so fast that even the human eye cannot keep up with it. When Raikou is activated, the seed bombs are as slow as balloons floating in the air.
The female swordsman rushed into the flower bushes with the thunder light, and with a low cry, she swung a sweeping sweep full of momentum. The sword edge wrapped around Lei Huang cut off multiple flower plants by their roots in a flash. After a flash, there was another flash, and the sword light flashed.
It leaves a lightning-like turning trajectory in the sky.
When the sword light disappeared, the severed flower plants and the grass monsters lost their shape one after another, and turned into black smoke and dissipated in a moment, leaving only the crooked scaffolding and the ground waiting to be picked.
of crops.
"Huh, it's over..."
Feiyan put the sword monster back into its sheath, exhaled, and looked up at the sky.
It had been a few days since she left the capital, and she had nowhere else to go, so she followed the official road and wandered around the various places. After autumn, the famines generally gradually subsided, but there were still many wild monsters causing harm to communities in various places. For example, the Qing Dynasty
Like Heji, Feiyan would kill monsters for the villagers if they encountered them, so that they could free up their hands to rebuild their lives as soon as possible.
Of course, Feng Dian's days sleeping in the open were not as comfortable as those in Gewufang, but Feiyan felt very happy that her swordsmanship could be put to use again. Especially when the villagers who had been helped bowed their heads to her and thanked her again and again, it was much better than in Gewufang.
The sky can only swing its sword at the air, which is much more fulfilling.
"Oh! Have the grass monsters been eliminated?"
"That's great! If we start preparing the land tomorrow, we can still plant some seeds!"
"Before that, let's harvest! There is still a lot to eat in the fields!"
Returning to Qingheji, the villagers who had been looking forward to it for a long time received the news they had been waiting for. That night, the cheerful villagers welcomed Feiyan to the assembly hall and brought out their treasured wine and food to entertain the heroine who saved the community.
At the banquet, the head of the village with white hair and beard expressed gratitude to the female swordsman on behalf of the villagers.
"I'm so grateful, Miss Feiyan, thanks to you we don't have to go hungry in the winter."
"It's just a matter of effort, don't worry about it."
"Hey, although I want to thank Heroine for her help, all we can offer are such shabby food and drinks. I'm really ashamed..."
What the chief of the settlement said was not polite. After all, Qingheji is a poor settlement with a population of less than 200 and barely survives on farming. Therefore, even if the villagers bring out their treasured wine and food, even a third-rate tavern will not be able to put it in the capital.
The type that you would be happy to serve on the table.
Fortunately, the sword monster is not picky about wine, and Feiyan, who is used to sleeping in the open, certainly doesn't mind.
"Speaking of which, Miss Feiyan is from the capital, right? The old man wants to ask you, have you heard the name of Feilu Camp?" the leader of the colony asked tremblingly.
"Feilu Camp?" Feiyan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard a familiar name.
"Actually, officials were sent from the market town a while ago. They said that Feilu Camp's convoy would come to Qingheji in two days, so that we should be prepared to welcome... Hey, it was said to be a welcome, but what exactly should we prepare?
"Miss Feiyan, it would be great if you could give me some advice." The leader of the settlement looked at the female swordsman for help.
"...I'm sorry, I don't know." Feiyan lowered her head as if to hide her expression.
"Really? Then what should we do?" The leader of the settlement scratched his beard in particular distress. "It is said that Feilu Camp will come with a caravan. Does it feel the same as before? But I heard that there is still an order to be placed...
"
"Place an order?"
"Hey, it seems like we want some herbs that are a specialty of our colony."
When he said this, the leader of the community sounded quite proud.
In fact, the name of Qingheji comes from the small patch of forest adjacent to the settlement. The forest has a rich spiritual atmosphere and grows many medicinal herbs that are said to be used as ingredients for elixirs. However, Qingheji itself has no expert, so even if it is collected
The medicinal herbs can only be sold when the caravan arrives, and the meager income can be used to exchange for some daily necessities.
This has always been the case, but this time it seems to be different.
"If I want to buy medicinal herbs, how much should I prepare?"
"Well, just prepare the same portion as in previous years, right? They won't want more anyway."
"However, it used to take two months for caravans to come, right? But Feilu Camp is said to come two or three times a month?"
"What? Doesn't that mean we have to prepare herbs every week? Hey, can you pick them in time?"
"I heard from people in the town that in addition to purchasing medicinal herbs, it seems that you can entrust them to help buy anything you need. Feilu Camp has Rishengchang's channels behind it, and the price is quite reasonable."
"Real or fake? Isn't Rishengchang the same big trading company in Zhongyuan?"
"Oh! I suddenly feel motivated! If so, go pick a lot of herbs and get a new hoe!"
