I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 145 Good Guys
"Young man from the Dongfang family, I haven't even asked you yet, what are you doing trapping your sixth uncle in this formation? Aren't you afraid he'll come looking for you when he gets out?"

Enraged by Dongfang Shuo's words, Liu Jixin glared at him fiercely and cursed, "You unruly brat, aren't you afraid of your grandfather giving you a beating?"

If he had encountered Dongfang Shuo in the past, he might have been more polite out of respect for the Dongfang family. But now that the little guy has been abandoned by the Dongfang family head, what is there for him to worry about? Why should he give him face?

But it would have been better if he hadn't scolded Dongfang Shuo; his scolding angered all three of them.

First, Meng Qi's leaves flew towards his face and neck, but Liu Jixin was prepared and swiftly cut the leaves and branches off with his two curved blades.

In a flash, the silver spearhead was already aimed at his face. Liu Jixin leaned back to dodge, and at the same time, he raised his left-hand scimitar and slammed it into the spear with a thud.

When the others saw Liu Jixin and Wei Xiaole start fighting, they wanted to join in, but suddenly several branches fell from above and began to whip them.

Some people tried to back away, but the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook, and then four or five mounds of earth with pointed tops emerged from the ground.

"what"

There were tree branches above and mounds of earth below. Some people couldn't dodge in time, were hit by a branch, and were knocked to the ground by the mound of earth. They were in so much pain that they almost fainted.

However, soon many people joined him, being whipped by the wildly swirling branches and crashing into ever-rising mounds of earth, before tumbling to the ground one after another with a series of thuds.

In the end, only Liu Jixin was left fighting Wei Xiaole. His dual-wielding curved swords were clearly very skillful, and Wei Xiaole couldn't gain the upper hand for a while.

This was the first time they had directly confronted someone from the cultivator circle.

Liu Jixin was secretly astonished. Wei Xiaole was just a disciple Zhang Jinwu had taken in halfway through his life, and had no bloodline inheritance at all, yet he was able to fight him to a draw.

This special training camp established by the relevant departments is indeed extraordinary.

Meng Qi stood guard beside the fire pig, while Dongfang Shuo stood two meters in front of her. Both of them were wondering whether to let their brother continue fighting to practice, or to just beat the old guy down.
After hesitating for a minute, seeing that Wei Xiaole, though not having the upper hand, hadn't suffered any losses either, the two decided to just wait and see.

After fighting for about fifteen minutes, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the dense forest.

Liu Jixin's heart skipped a beat. Xia Yunsong had arrived?

Sure enough, not long after the footsteps were heard, Xia Yunsong's rough and stern voice rang out, "Surround them all!"

If this had happened before, Xia Yunsong might not have cared and could have just waved him away.

But what time is it now?

There is a secret passage leading directly to the demon realm, and the demons even know how to break through that membrane. Don't think that everything is fine just because the rabbit demon is dead.

Since the rabbit demon knows, it's hard to guarantee that other demons don't.

This is tantamount to hanging a sword over the heads of humanity, which could fall at any moment and destroy the world.

Although Lao Zhang had set up cameras above the secret passage to monitor it from all angles, he, Lin Qingquan, and Meng Shulan also took turns guarding it at the Sanqing Temple.

but.
We've held this position, but what about the other side?

With the teleportation array destroyed, the Demon King can no longer send demons here in this way. So, will it give up, or will it try to find a secret passage?
What we lack most right now is knowledge of the other side. After all, we killed all the talking demons we found before, leaving no survivors. Now we've finally found another one, and you're trying to steal it from us?

Are you looking for death?

If you really have that kind of courage, why don't you go and guard Sanqing Mountain? I'd respect you as a hero.

A dozen soldiers following behind Xia Yunsong all raised their guns, cocked them, and aimed at Liu Jixin and the others.

Liu Jixin and the others were stunned. What was going on?
When did special departments become so domineering, unreasonable, and tyrannical? Or is it just you, Xia Yunsong, who are like this?

"No, Captain Xia."

"Shut up, save your words for jail."

After Xia Yunsong finished speaking, he waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward, tied the people's hands behind their backs, and then quickly put on special silver bracelets on them.

Just then, another group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms entered from outside the dense forest. The leader saluted Xia Yunsong and said, "Captain Xia, we've taken them away."

"Okay, watch out, if you run away, I'll hold you accountable."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

These are people sent by the person in charge of Northwest Province. Xia Yunsong came here specifically to pick up the fire pigs. He doesn't have the time to escort these people.

Naturally, it's their province's people who should be responsible.

A group of people escorted Liu Jixin and the others away from the dense forest. Only then did Xia Yunsong take a good look at the fire pig that would be frozen by Dongfang Shuo.

"I must say, it's quite similar to what's described in the book."

Mengqi complained to him, "This thing can swear. When the ice melts, you must give it a good beating first, so that it will know to keep its mouth shut and understand that this is not their demon realm. Once it comes here, it has to follow our rules, otherwise it will starve and not be given anything to eat."

Xia Yunsong chuckled, "Did it insult you?"

"Of course! If you hadn't told me to keep it, I would have roasted it by now. After all, we've never eaten a fire pig before. I wonder if it tastes the same as pork. Or should I cut off one of its legs? As long as it doesn't die, you can still ask it questions, right?"

As soon as Meng Qi finished speaking, the frozen fire pig's pupils suddenly contracted, and it looked at Meng Qi as if she were a devil.

What surprised it even more was that the man seemed to be considering, "It's not impossible. Cut off one of its legs, and that will prevent it from escaping."

The fire pig was on the verge of tears. How could you humans be so cruel?
How did you know I wanted to run away without asking? No, I won't run away. Just give me some good food and drink, and I promise I won't run away.

If you dare release me now, I'll swear an oath to you.

"Right, right? Then what are we waiting for? Melt the ice and hurry up and chop it down."

"Let's forget it. There's no doctor with the team. What if he bleeds to death?"

At this moment, Dongfang Shuo interjected, "No, I still have ice talismans in my bag. I can freeze it after I'm done cutting it, right?"

Are you done yet? What's done? How about I cut off your leg and freeze it back on, then see what happens?

The fire pig couldn't help but roar inwardly, while simultaneously feeling a deep-seated fear.

Who are these people? They're even more gluttonous than me.

Meng Qi and Dongfang Shuo were eager to try, and even took out a pig-slaughtering knife, which made the fire pig's eyes turn even redder.

At the crucial moment, the man who arrived later stopped the two of them. After saying something, the two left with regret on their faces.

The fire pig breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there were still good people in the world.
