Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 130: Sealing the Mountain

The demon cultivators didn't care about the life or death of the evil insects. They only used their death as an excuse to kill them and waited to feast on them tomorrow.

But those evil spirits did not dare to take it lightly. Fourteen of them died in two days. Without the ability of demon cultivation, they dared not stay in the cave in the mountain. They either squeezed in with other evil spirits in the cave near the cave entrance, or simply left the cave and found a wooden house in the mountain, or built a temporary thatched hut.

After nightfall, it rained.

No matter if it was thieves or evil spirits, this night was restless. No one went to bed early, and everyone was waiting for the dawn. They either chatted or meditated.

The rain got heavier as the night went on, and in the second half of the night it became a downpour.

"Damn it! It's raining so hard! It's pouring into the hole!"

"Don't worry. All the caves in our mountains are opened diagonally downwards. At most, if it rains heavily, some water will splash in, but it won't flood."

"By the way, since we have nothing to do anyway, how about going to look for that little Zuanfeng?"

"Didn't Boss Yuan say that if there's nothing wrong, don't go looking for that guy?"

"Tsk, didn't you know that Boss Yuan went down the mountain yesterday? It's unclear whether he will come back in the future. Let's go over and extort some money from him. If he doesn't behave, we can just kill him and throw him off the cliff. Who cares about this kind of thing now?

Let me tell you. This kind of person who comes to the mountain stronghold must have a big crime on his shoulders. Did you see the thick round box on his back when he came? There must be something good in it!
How about it? Do you want to do it? "

The three thieves who followed Yuan Liang huddled together and whispered to each other.

They originally planned to run away at night, after all, Yuan Liang had found an excuse to go down the mountain yesterday. But when they were about to leave, the rain started to get heavier. It was too dangerous to walk on the mountain road at night, so they had to give up. For a while, they were in a bad mood and had no place to vent their anger.

So one of the three made a proposal, and the remaining two thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement with fierce gleams in their eyes.

The evil spirit won't kill everyone, right?
Besides, aren't those demon slayers still in this mountain? What if the demon slayers win? Who can say for sure?

Life has to go on. Since you can't run away for the time being, you might as well have some fun and make some money.

After discussing it, the three of them walked into the mountain with torches.

After walking in twists and turns for about half an incense stick of time, I finally found the cave where the food was stored, but there was no one at the door.

"Tsk, this guy Xiao Zuanfeng looks honest but he can be cunning. He must have gone back to his bridal chamber to sleep when he is not at his post. Let's go, we can use this as an excuse to deal with him!"

The three of them turned around and went to a cave house not far from the granary. Because this place was too deep in the mountain, it was basically uninhabited and was usually used as a warehouse.

"Little Drill Wind!"

There was no door in the cave, so the three of them walked in with torches, only to find that the house was empty except for some dirty bedding and a cylindrical box in the corner.

“Why is there no one here?!”

The three were very surprised. It was already late at night, and it was a tense time with murderous intentions everywhere. How could a newcomer who had only been in the mountains for a few days actually disappear?

My first reaction was that this little Zuanfeng might have disappeared just like those brothers who disappeared inexplicably in the past?
For a moment, the three of them felt a chill down their spines.

They wanted to leave, but the cylindrical box in the corner made them curious. The three of them walked towards the box at the same time. One of them picked it up.

"Huh? Why is it so light?"

"open to take a look!"

Light means empty, which makes the three people's idea of ​​coming here to squeeze out oil and water seem a little unrealistic.

When I opened the box, it was still empty. But the grooves in the lining of the box were strange.

"This thing looks like it's specifically for holding long swords, right?"

"Yes, it must be! I didn't expect that Xiao Zuanfeng could use a long sword. But this sword seems a little strange! Look at the groove of the handle, this inward curve is not the case with all swords!"

"Is this a bull-tail knife?!" "Xiao Zuanfeng is from the government office!"

The three of them looked at each other, and finally saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

The shape of the oxtail knife is very unique, and it is an extremely rare weapon that can be used for both chopping and stabbing. It is also the standard weapon of the government office during the Hongwu period and it is impossible to see it anywhere else.

Xiao Zuanfeng's knife box reveals his identity.

At the same time, the three of them tacitly thought of the recent events in the mountains, and they were suddenly horrified. They all regretted not taking the risk to go down the mountain in the heavy rain today, and they regretted even more why they came here to look for that little Zuanfeng!

"Come on!"

The three men put down the box and turned to leave, but when they turned around, they saw a person illuminated by the torch, standing behind them with a smile and a knife in his hand, blocking the entrance and exit of the cave.

The man was wet and obviously had just come back from outside.

"."

Yang Qian tilted his head. He didn't expect that he would be out for a while and come back just in time to see someone coming to his room. And seeing the knife box moved in the corner, he understood. So he raised the tip of the knife slightly.

"Haha, I'm still looking for you, brother Lai! It turns out you went out for a while. Don't..."

They still wanted to get away with it, but what greeted the three of them was the cold blade in Yang Qian's hand and a stern look that showed they didn't want to listen to a single word of their nonsense.

Run? Or fight?

When the blade was raised, the three of them actually had no choice.

Phew!

In an instant, three heads flew up, and the blood from the broken necks splattered onto the roof of the cave, which was not high to begin with. The hissing sound instantly made the house bloody.

【Kill 3 bandits from Mount Paektu】

【Gain 45 experience】

“This house is uninhabitable.”

Yang Qian picked up the knife case on the ground, swung the oxtail knife in his hand to shake off the blood stains, then put it back into the knife case, put it on his shoulder, and disappeared into the spider web-like tunnel of Mount Paektu.

The next day, the heavy rain outside stopped at noon. When the bandits and evil spirits in the mountain came out of the cave, they found that something happened outside the mountain again.

"Eleven demons are dead! In the past, there were less than thirty demons living in our Paektu Mountain, right? Including those who died in the past two days, more than half are dead now!"

"This time is unusual. We also have casualties here. Three of them died, and a newcomer who was looking after the grain depot is missing."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You don't understand this? Are you stupid? This means that the person who killed the demon before might not be one of ours. It just happened that he didn't kill anyone in the first two days. Now we are the same as the demon, and we may be killed at any time!"

"Ah? Really? Why don't you hurry down the mountain now?"

It's too late to leave now.

Even if you don't care whether those evil insects live or die, you can't just watch them die in just three days.

What is this? This is a provocation!

Dare to provoke the demon cultivators in Black Mountain!? If we don’t catch these people who are looking for death, no one in this mountain can leave!
