I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 121 Ghost Cat

Meng Qi's head was tilted to the side on Meng Ziyang's shoulder, one corner of her mouth was glistening, and a large patch of Meng Ziyang's gray-white T-shirt, which he had just changed into, was stained below her cheek.

She was sleeping soundly when suddenly someone poked her weak spot on her waist. She shifted her position and continued sleeping.

But then someone poked her in the waist again. The third time, they not only poked her but also pinched a little bit of her flesh.

Meng Qi couldn't help but hiss, suddenly opened her eyes, and was about to curse when a piece of paper appeared in front of her: There is a demon outside the car!
Meng Qi, who was about to raise her head, suddenly stopped moving. She remained in her original posture, watching the thin sheet of Xuan paper float down to the ground. Then she closed her eyes and released her divine sense.

At first, she thought the demons outside were like wolf demons, so she searched around but found nothing.

Was Dongfang Shuo teasing her?

Meng Qi was about to withdraw her divine sense in a huff when she inadvertently glanced at the large willow tree not far away and suddenly paused.

Did the tree trunk move just now?

She focused her spiritual sense on the willow tree, looking at it carefully again and again, and then discovered that there was a dark thing hidden in the trunk.

What the hell?
It has no physical form, like a shadow. A spirit?

No, the sun is blazing right now, isn't it afraid of the sun?

In fact, she didn't know whether the Yin spirit was afraid of the sun, since she had never come into contact with it. She had only heard her father mention it twice, and he had heard it from someone else, so there was no way to verify it.

Meng Qi quietly turned her face to the back seat, winked at Dongfang Shuo through the gap between the seats, and whispered, "What's that?"

"Clone."

Doppelgänger?

What kind of clone?

"The cat, the ghost cat's clone."

Legend has it that cats have nine lives, and this legend is not unfounded. At the very least, the Ghost Cat does have nine lives, and if it cultivates to a certain level, it can have eight clones.

So, apart from its original body, its eight clones have eight other lives.

At this moment, Dongfang Shuo was somewhat excited. There is a technique in the Xuanmen magic that is to create clones, but he is still young and although he has some understanding of it, it is not enough.

Of course, the difference in skill level also plays a role.

But what if we could obtain the ghost cat's demon core?
"Xiao Qi, please help me, I need to catch this cat's true form."

Meng Qi asked, "Where is its true form?"

Dongfang Shuo shook his head. "I don't know."

"You don't know how I'm supposed to catch it for you?" Meng Qi looked at him like he was an idiot. "This clone looks like just a shadow. Shouldn't something like this be easier to use with your Xuanmen's magic?"

"Catching the clone or killing the clone is not difficult, but I want to know where the original is, so this clone cannot be killed."

A demon with clones must be very powerful, and Meng Qi also wants to kill it.

After observing the ghost cat clone hiding in the tree trunk again, Meng Qi noticed that it seemed to be looking at the trunk.

Wolf demon?

It wants the wolf demon's corpse?

"Why don't you open the trunk a crack and see what this clone is up to?"
The two communicated silently, so everyone else was still fast asleep and had not been woken up.

Dongfang Shuo thought for a moment, then removed the array attached to the car, since he and Qiao Tai were sitting in the back, closest to the trunk. So after removing the array, he stuck a talisman on Qiao Tai to prevent him from being injured by the cat demon's clone.

The ghost cat was hiding in the tree, and if it weren't for its limited clone strength, it would have flipped the entire car over.

But not now. Since the person in the car can kill the gray wolf, its mere clone is definitely no match for it. Even if we can take advantage of the chaos to get the gray wolf's head by overturning the car, there's no guarantee we can take it with us.

Just then, it noticed the car body had moved again, and suddenly its eyes lit up.

The wolf's head was probably not stable in the car, so it rolled over and accidentally bumped into the trunk lid, making a crack.

Standing in its current position, you can see the wolf's head stuck in the gap.

But the cat demon's clone didn't go out immediately; it was worried it was a trap and needed to observe further.

After a while, until the car was completely quiet and there was no more movement, it cautiously emerged from the tree trunk and slowly approached.

Meng Qi used her divine sense to observe the outside of the car and discovered that after the dark figure emerged from the tree trunk, it indeed had a thin, long tail trailing behind it. Its jet-black head had two pointed ears, and although its facial features were not very clear, it could be vaguely identified as a cat's head.

Is this the ghost cat's clone?
The dark figure approached the trunk and immediately lay down under the car, slowly prying open the trunk lid with only its tail. It was very cautious, keeping an eye on the movement inside the car as it pried it open, as if it would run away as soon as it was discovered.

Fortunately, it moved very gently, and the whole process was quiet. It didn't open the entire trunk, but only opened it to a certain extent, and then used its tail to hook out the wolf's head inside.

With the gray wolf's head in hand, the ghost cat clone immediately grabbed it and dashed into the cornfield.

Meng Qi and Dongfang Shuo opened their eyes at the same time.

Before they ran out of the car, they closed the trunk. Then, Dongfang Shuo activated the array in the car, left a note for Yin Zheng, and went with Meng Qi to chase after the ghost cat clone.

Because it was carrying something, the cat demon clone wasn't running particularly fast, so Meng Qi and Dongfang Shuo, who had applied invisibility talismans, caught up with it in no time.

"Why did it only take one head?" Meng Qi thought it would take the wolf demon's corpse with it.

Dongfang Shuo pondered, "It should recognize this alpha wolf; it should take it to someone to report to."

Meng Qi had to admit that this guy was a few years older than her, and he was very shrewd and had a very logical way of analyzing things.

The two followed it for over an hour, feeling they were already quite far from where their car had been, but the dark, shabby cat was still walking, seemingly far from their destination.

Both of their smartwatches were on silent mode, but they had rung several times. To avoid alerting the other person, they didn't answer.

But Dongfang Shuo sent Mengqi a photo he took as a way of letting her know she was safe.

Mengqi thought he made her look ugly in the photos, but because of the special circumstances, she decided not to hold it against him for the time being.

Three hours later, Meng Qi grabbed Dongfang Shuo, looked around with a serious face, and said in a low voice, "We can't follow any longer, or we'll get lost."

Dongfang Shuo watched the dark figure gradually disappear in front of him, feeling somewhat unwilling, but he knew that Meng Qi was right.

The two were acting in secret, and they originally thought that the ghost cat's main body wouldn't be too far from the clone, and that he and Meng Qi could kill it quickly and rush back. But who would have thought that this damn cat would keep going on and on.

If it's too far, the main force might not be able to get there in time to provide support if something happens, and he can't leave the two of them in danger.

"Okay, let's go back."

Dongfang Shuo looked up at the sun. His clone was heading northwest. Did this mean his main body was in the northwest?
Not only that, but there are also demons related to the alpha wolf there?
