I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 84 Slaying the Black Rat
"This mouse looks weird."

Meng Qi stroked her chin, slowly walked over, and then tilted her head to examine her closely.

"Logically, shouldn't a mouse squeak when it's caught? Why aren't you squealing?"

Black rat:
Failed!
The main reason is that it didn't expect a little kid to pull it out, and it didn't expect her to be so clever!
I wonder if it's too late to call now?

The black rat's beady eyes darted around, making Meng Qi feel increasingly uneasy.

In a flash, she suddenly remembered the "gray rabbit looking for a mouse" she had seen in the demon-revealing mirror in Yunmeng Village. It seemed to be a black mouse, right?
Meng Qi's eyes widened suddenly. She took two steps back and looked warily at the black rat tied to the ground with branches. "Are you in cahoots with that gray rabbit?"

Black Rat was startled, then suddenly looked up at Meng Qi.

Has the boss really been arrested?
"Well, so you really are a rat demon."

Seeing its reaction, Mengqi immediately realized that otherwise, what good mouse could understand human speech?

With a flick of her little paw, a twig shot towards the black rat with a sharp force.

After being exposed, the black rat stopped pretending. It rolled away from the branches and then its body rapidly grew larger until it stretched so much that it snapped the branches binding it. At this point, its body had become about the size of a rural dog.

This process may seem slow, but it is actually very fast, taking at most a second.

At least the two little brats on the other side haven't reacted yet.

After the branch snapped, the black rat stopped expanding. It bared its big teeth at Xiao Qi, then looked up at the mountaintop where people were everywhere.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; run!
Even the boss, who's so powerful, was caught by them. If I went there, I'd only be walking into their trap; I wouldn't be able to save him.

Black Rat found a perfectly normal reason for himself, then turned and ran down the mountain, shrinking as he ran.

But the branches and leaves along the way seemed to come alive, rushing towards it all at once.

The black rat nimbly leaped and dodged, its beady eyes spotting a small hole. Just as it was about to jump in, a large black shadow loomed over its head, and the withered branches and leaves at its feet swirled and gathered together, enveloping it.

Seeing that it couldn't escape, the black rat had no choice but to grow bigger again.

But having learned from her previous experience, Xiaoqi was determined not to let it succeed again.

The dense foliage and branches surged wildly; as the black rat's body grew larger, it pushed away as many branches and leaves as it did, only for more to pounce on it.

It angrily opened its mouth and bit off the poplar branch that was strangling its neck, then lowered its head to bite the branches that were entangled around its feet, while its body was rapidly swelling at the same time.

It grew bigger and bigger, even bigger than the big yellow dog.

Suddenly, with a bang, a bullet whistled through the rat's brain.

Immediately afterwards, two more gunshots rang out, both aimed at the same spot: the black rat's neck.

A foul, bloody stench emanated from the black rat's head and neck. Xiao Qi wrinkled her nose in disgust but didn't back down, continuing to direct the branches to tightly constrict the rat demon's body.

Fu Dong, the squad leader of the garrison, approached with a sniper rifle in his hand. He looked at the dense branches wrapped around the black rat with surprise, then turned to look at Xiao Qi and said in a very low voice, "Impressive!"

He had witnessed Lin Qingquan use his teleportation technique before; he could go from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point in the blink of an eye, a speed that left people speechless.

So it's not surprising that his daughter knows some other magic.

It's a bit too incredible.

However, even an ugly rat can become a spirit that can grow bigger and smaller, so this kind of heaven-defying magic is nothing special. Fu Dong said he accepted it well.

A large, a small, and a dragon stood five meters away, staring at the bleeding black rat for a long time until it stopped convulsing and looked completely dead. Only then did Fu Dong breathe a sigh of relief and put away his gun. Meanwhile, the people who had been on guard after hearing the gunshot were also closely watching the scene. Only after Fu Dong gave a hand signal did they approach the area in an orderly manner.

Lin Qingquan and Zhang Jinwu, who were in the secret passage, also heard the gunshots. After they came out, they quickly came over to check.

At the same time, the gray rabbit, which had almost reached Green Vine Mountain, seemed to sense something and stopped, turning back to look at Sanqing Mountain.

A pair of pink eyes revealed resentment. That fool, who let it pass by?

It wasn't that it felt sorry for the black rat's life, but with it around, some plans could be carried out smoothly.

Without it, we'd have to find someone else, and it's too much trouble.

After all, demons are different from humans. Demons are too wary of each other and don't trust each other.

The gray rabbit lowered its eyes to look at the ground. It seemed it really had to go to the Grand Canyon. Although it didn't want to see the white wolf, and even less did it want to take it back with it, it had no choice but to go. It had no helper now.

Those fools who were scattered around Sanqing Mountain and did not escape were all strangled by humans, leaving not a single one who could be used.

Thinking of this, Gray Rabbit decided not to go to Green Vine Mountain anymore and instead turned around and sped off in the northwest direction.

"It must be the black rat that escaped earlier."

Lin Qingquan had previously worked with Xia Yunsong to exterminate rats. One of the rats escaped and he had been worried about it ever since. He searched for it for half a year but couldn't find it. He thought it had left Sanqing Mountain and gone to some remote place to breed.

If it were to breed another nest of half-demon rats, it would be a real problem.

Who would have thought it would still be staying here, not having gone anywhere?

Before it died, the black rat probably wanted to reveal its true form, so its body swelled up a bit, to the point that it snapped most of the branches binding its body.

Xiao Qi thought it was about to come back to life, so she quickly waved her hand to summon more branches to tie it up.

The four slender legs were bound tightly, with no possibility of loosening even slightly.

Ignoring the rat's pointed snout and monkey-like face, at first glance it looks like a big black pig lying on the ground.

Lin Qingquan raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw his daughter's actions.

He had met Meng Wenze, the most powerful member of the Meng family in the Northwest. He was Meng Wenpei's cousin and could manipulate metal. He always carried three sharp throwing knives. However, he usually only controlled one at a time, occasionally two together, and while he could control three at the same time, it was difficult.

Previously, Longshan and the Liu family from the Northeast were unable to get out of the Northwest Grand Canyon and had repeatedly sent messages to the Meng family, hoping that they could help rescue them out of consideration for being in the same circle.

Finally, someone went to help, but we waited for a long time.

However, it must be said that Meng Wenze's throwing knives played a significant role in helping to break through the encirclement. But after leaving the Grand Canyon, he was exhausted and his face was deathly pale.

He was controlling two throwing knives at the same time, but it only took him about half an hour, which shows that it was not an easy task for him.

Now, Xiao Qi can easily manipulate a large number of branches and leaves without any effort or even breaking a sweat.

Meng Wenze is not even in the same league as her.

Such talent must never be known to the Meng family in the Northwest.

Zhang Jinwu, standing next to him, naturally saw it too. He glanced at Xiao Qi with great interest, thinking that it was fortunate he was smart enough to have placed this little girl in their gifted youth program so early, otherwise, not to mention her martial arts skills, her ability to manipulate tree branches would have been taken by Shan Hai Tang.

Early release, see you tomorrow!
