I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 162 This thing can actually talk!

"Of all those caves ahead, which one is it?"

After leaving the gloomy path, passing through a small valley, and through a camphor forest, the view suddenly opened up. A stream babbled down from the mountains not far away, with green grass and white flowers on the banks, and wild deer and antelopes drinking water.

Yes, they are just ordinary wild deer and antelopes in this world, not demons.

The four of them were a little dazed when they first saw it. Mainly because they had been catching demons for a long time, they inevitably developed some occupational hazard. When they saw an animal, they instinctively wanted to explore its nature first.

Across the stream are several valleys, with at least four caves hidden among the trees.

"Wait a minute, let me see."

Meng Qi closed her eyes and released her divine sense. After a while, she opened them again, pointed to the cave in the middle, and then pointed to the other three caves.

Dongfang Shuo asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Which one is it?"

Meng Qi glanced at him. "Can't you even see this? Are you a pig brain? The main body is in the middle, and the other three holes are the clones."

Dongfang Shuo turned to Wei Xiaole and asked, "Did you understand just now?"

Wei Xiaole nodded quickly, "I understand, I know it very well."

Dongfang Shuo looked at Xiao Yinuo, who touched her nose and whispered, "I understand."

You know shit!
Two people offering hindsight advice.

"There are four cats in four holes, shall we divide them up?"

Dongfang Shuo spoke first, "I'll go to the middle."

The demon core is inside his body; he must obtain it.

"Okay, the remaining three are men on the left and women on the right. I'll go to the far right, and you two will be to the left of me."

Wei Xiaole and Xiao Yinuo were still wondering if the "men on the left, women on the right" rule was actually used correctly.
Meng Qi stuffed a blade of grass she had picked on the way here into each of their hands and instructed them, "Use it if you can, throw it away if you can't."

Dongfang Shuo looked at the foxtail grass in his hand, somewhat bewildered. "No, Qi, we're here to fight demons, not to tease cats."

Meng Qi said nonchalantly, "It doesn't conflict. What if we end up killing each other while teasing each other?"

After saying that, she ignored the three of them and dashed out first.

Without further hesitation, the three of them grabbed a knife/sword/talisman in one hand and a blade of grass in the other and charged out.

"Meow"

With a piercing meow, Meng Qi emerged just as the others rushed into the cave.

The clone froze for a moment when it saw the foxtail grass she threw, and it was in that instant that Meng Qi seized the opportunity and cleaved the ghost cat clone in two with a single slash.

Because it was a clone formed from its tail, it would dissipate on the spot after death, and Meng Qi's mission would be completely completed.

With one of her clones dead, the main body in the middle lost a tail, accompanied by an even more shrill and furious scream from the ghost cat, "Meow!"

"Be good, don't scream, this is for you to play with."

As Dongfang Shuo spoke, he threw the foxtail grass in his hand over, but what followed was an even more furious roar from the ghost cat. It swatted the tattered grass away with one paw, then arched its body and charged towards Dongfang Shuo.

Wei Xiaole from the next room and Xiao Yinuo from the other side emerged from the cave not long after entering, both of them dressed neatly. They exchanged a glance and then looked at the cave in the middle from which the rumbling noise was coming from.

Wei Xiaole said, "The clone disappeared on its own as soon as I went in."

Xiao Yinuo said, "Me too."

Meng Qi stared at the cave in the middle in silence. After two seconds, she laughed. "It seems that your clones have returned to their original forms. Tsk tsk, Dongfang Shuo is really lucky."

The ghost cat, angered, summoned its two clones back. Seeing that the two had no intention of helping, Xiao Yinuo hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you don't need to help Dongfang?"

"He'll call for help when needed."

Mengqi planned to take a stroll around the neighborhood to see if there were any treasures she could bring back.

After she left, Wei Xiaole and the other person guarded the entrance of the cave. They could hear occasional banging and popping sounds coming from inside, and there were also flashes of light at the entrance.

Curious, Xiao Yinuo whispered to Wei Xiaole, "What kind of talisman is this?"

"It should be a flashing symbol."

Xiao Yinuo exclaimed in surprise, "Flash Talisman? How come I've never heard of it? Did Dongfang Shuo research it?"

Wei Xiaole had a hard time explaining it. How should she put it? A-Shuo had created a scary talisman, but after watching it a few times, Xiao Qi felt it lacked atmosphere, so she made a flashing talisman. After the female ghost in the scary talisman came out, she would stick the flashing talisman on its back, so that it would flash and look much better.

However, he didn't understand how a flashing charm used to create a scary atmosphere could also be used against a cat.

Do you want the female ghost to scare the cat to death?
As the two were talking, two loud "bangs" came from inside the cave, and the whole cave seemed to shake. Fragments of stone and dust were scattered from inside, and a figure flew out at the same time.

"Bah, bah, bah"

Dongfang Shuo spat out the dirt in his mouth, shook off the pebbles on his head, and suddenly jumped up, raising the money sword in his hand and slashing fiercely into the air.

"Meow"

A black cat landed awkwardly, covered in dust, its body hunched over, its two long tails standing upright like two steel whips, lashing towards Dongfang Shuo.

It slammed to the ground, sending up a cloud of gravel and dust.

Despite being chased and beaten by two steel whips, Dongfang Shuo was not afraid at all. Instead, he dodged and laughed, "Hehe, it seems that it was right to lure you out. Sure enough, your abilities are greatly reduced under the light."

Historical records indicate that the ghost cat is a complex creature; it both loves and fears light. Therefore, its true form often remains in a dark cave, while its other form ventures into the sunlight. However, when the sun shines directly on it, it can only appear as a shadow.

Like the clone that secretly approached their car last time and stole the wolf's head.

It can be very effective at gathering information, but its combat capability is not great.

Even if the main body is under the sun, its strength will be greatly reduced.

Wei Xiaole leaned against a rock while holding her gun, and then casually reminded Dongfang Shuo, "Hurry up, the sun is about to set."

They had to leave before dark; that was Xia's order.

"OK, the 'trapped' strategy!"

A talisman flew out, and Dongfang Shuo's hands moved swiftly. Several golden lights rose from around the ghost cat, but when its tail swung towards Dongfang Shuo, it struck the invisible barrier with a thud.

The ghost cat's eyes widened suddenly. It turned its head in a panic and leaped up, trying to escape the golden light. But just like its tail, it crashed into the barrier.

It panicked completely, looking up at the invisible pressure approaching, as if a lid was slowly pressing down.

Thud! Thud!
Its two remaining tails lashed out in all directions, but the more it lashed out, the closer the barrier moved to the center, and the space it was in gradually shrank. It was obvious that the barrier was trying to crush it to death in this broken trap.

"Meow"

The ghost cat let out a long howl, stopped its attack, and looked at Dongfang Shuo with its emerald green eyes.

Suddenly, it spoke, "Boy, what do you want? I can grant your wish."

Dongfang Shuo's rapidly moving fingers stopped, and even Wei Xiaole and Xiao Yinuo, who were watching the commotion, immediately stood up straight, looking at the ghost cat with surprise and shock.
