Headless Immortal

Chapter 67 Reinforcement
thump.

dong dong!

Four mountain rabbits, each as tall as a two-story building and dressed in short vests, carried the throne of green mountains and clear waters toward the end of the hall.

Each step sent shivers down their spines, and the shaking of the ground made them uneasy.

Then a chair, as large as a giant mountain rabbit, was gently placed on the throne.

The two men, sitting like wax figures, stared at each other in bewilderment.

Even the rarest and most exotic fruits lose their appeal when presented to one.

The unease in my heart had not subsided; instead, fear gave rise to a poisonous sense of despair.

Cheng Yan patted Hui Bao's little head.

He knew that Grey hadn't come in with them.

After so long, they must have gone to call for reinforcements.

As for who the reinforcements will be?

it goes without saying.

He was happy when Grey Treasure found him on the bridge, but he calmed down when he saw Grey Treasure's calm expression.

Now, however, he doesn't want Uncle Cat to come.

Uncle Cat is indeed formidable, standing seven feet tall and two or three heads taller than the average person, but compared to these four mountain rabbits, each over eighteen feet tall, he appears quite small.

Big means strong.

He felt that if he took a punch from Yamausagi head-on, he would only end up as minced meat.

The big rat twitched its ears, jumped off the table, and ran towards the palace gate.

Cheng Yan originally wanted to call out to Hui Bao, but then thought it was good that Hui Bao had escaped with his life.

Go ahead.

It's good if one of them escapes.

Grey Treasure swished its claws, leaping over the palace maids sweeping the scenery and slipping under the skirts of the dancing fairies. It stirred up a commotion but was oblivious, heading straight for the gate. Suddenly, it leaped up and was caught by an arm with a 'thud'. Cheng Yan, who had been watching Grey Treasure closely, was shocked and hurriedly tried to get up, fearing that the owner of the arm had harmed Grey Treasure.

Looking up, I was immediately moved.

Lü He's attention was drawn to Cheng Yan's actions.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid; his friend Cheng Yan's composure had infected him. However, the suddenness of the situation was so alarming that even Lü He couldn't help but feel apprehensive, almost to the point of tears. It didn't matter if he died; what about his parents, younger brother, and younger sister? If he had known, he wouldn't have come to study. He could have left some money and lived a better life.

"Uncle Cat!"

I heard my friend call out softly beside me.

Lü Hecai followed the gaze.

What a majestic and awe-inspiring monster!

With white hair and a white body, silver-gray fur, a red face and green teeth, he exuded arrogance.

The gilded beast's eyes never strayed.

Looking at the large rat standing on his shoulder, Lü He immediately understood why Cheng Yan's confidence had soared after finding the Grey Treasure.

There really is reinforcements.

Isn't that the monster who wiped out all the bandits at the post station?

Now I understand why the ape monster only killed the bandits and didn't harm any of them; it turns out they knew each other all along.

The ape-like monster remained calm and did not acknowledge the two of them.

They took their seats under the guidance of the palace maid Xiao Cai.

A few moments.

Light tea and fruits and vegetables served before the main feast were presented.

Wu Tong Lu Xun looked at the table full of rare delicacies and grabbed some without hesitation, starting to chew.

After a swift and satisfying meal, I still felt empty even after drinking plenty of tea.

The servant boy, carrying a long-spouted teapot, was about to refill the teapot.

The ape-like monster moved its armor, flung open the teapot spout, and flicked its hand.

There was a ‘pop’ sound.

The teacup is turned upside down.

He called out, "Bring the wine!"

His voice was deep and hoarse, like the deep roar of a beast.

Cheng Yan, standing on the opposite bank of the long hall, was clearly stunned.

He didn't know that Uncle Cat could talk.

These talking palace maids, walking servants, and maids who served them bathing and changing clothes all had some demonic characteristics, but most of them had already shed their insect form, so it was reasonable that they could speak, and it wasn't particularly surprising.

Unlike Uncle Cat, he looks like a monster.

In my memory, Uncle Cat always conveyed messages by writing, let alone sneaking into the school in his cat form to listen to lectures and learn.

He thought Uncle Cat was mute.

Lu Xun was no different from a mute in the past; it was only through the enlightenment of Mr. Bailu that he was able to learn to speak.

However, he is still unable to speak in long sentences.

The servant serving tea was already somewhat displeased, but he simply turned the teapot in his hand.

When poured out again, it was no longer clear tea but fine wine. Lu Xun drank three bowls in a row: "No meat, no enjoyment!"

The servant's face suddenly darkened, and he beckoned towards the back hall.

In my childhood.

Delicacies from land and sea were brought out by the palace maids.

Lu Xun ate with his mouth full of oil, and a suspicion arose in his heart.

You've eaten and drunk everything, aren't you annoyed yet?
The holy monk and living Buddha eat people's hearts and livers and absorb their vital essence, so this guy is probably no pushover either.

With a rough claw, he pointed at the songstress: "Woman, come, be with me."

The servant who was serving tea flew into a rage, and his face sprouted downy hair and a beard.

In an instant, an angry white fox face appeared.

The sweepers immediately stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the ape-like monster.

Just as she was about to speak, a woman in red stepped out from among the singing and dancing fairies. Her willow-leaf eyebrows were like autumn dew, and her pink lips were like peach blossoms. She glared with her phoenix eyes and shouted angrily, "You brat! The master has prepared a banquet to entertain his distinguished guests, and you dare to cause trouble and even want me to accompany you. Do you not know the meaning of death?"

Wu Tong Lu Xun didn't reply, but gave the two stunned people a wink and then suddenly stood up.

Not knowing whether Toothless would be able to make a move, he could only take the initiative and hope that the chaos would allow him to escape with Lü He.

"Come on!"

Cheng Yan grabbed the stunned Lü He and dragged him toward the palace gate.

“Brother Cheng, he…” Lü He pointed to the surrounded ape monster and whispered, “A person should have principles. He risked his life to save us, how can we just leave?”

Cheng Yan knew all this perfectly well, and he wished he could draw his sword immediately to save the day, even at the cost of his own life. But as he had realized during the meal, strength was the foundation of his existence, so he buried his head and left: "Staying here would only hold Uncle Cat back. We must hurry back to the academy and ask the dean and headmaster to come and suppress the monster, only then will Uncle Cat have a chance to survive."

"quick!"

Lü He also realized what was happening.

Yes, they weren't alone; they had the academy's backing, and there was also that purple-bearded old man who looked like a high-ranking official.

The two men headed towards the palace gate, accompanied by others.

They bumped into each other.

Cheng Yan and Lü He were immediately taken aback.

The first thing to notice is the old man with a purple beard and green eyes, and a pair of phoenix eyes. The man beside him has white hair and beard, wears a Confucian robe and a Taoist bun, and has a pair of phoenix eyes under his white eyebrows. The two are chatting happily. Behind them are three martial arts warriors in tight-fitting clothes who are like statues, and their expressions do not change. They look very disciplined.

Sun Shen lagged half a step behind and immediately spotted the two students who were running out of the main hall as if they were fleeing.

It seemed somewhat unexpected that these two would be here.

"Headmaster!"

Cheng Yan and Lü He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, panting.

The panic in his eyes vanished without a trace, leaving only relief and surprise. He hadn't expected the headmaster to come.

"Hello."

Mr. White Deer smiled and nodded.

"Headmaster, help me!"

"Yes, yes, Headmaster, hurry and save them."

"Oh?" Mr. White Deer asked curiously.

The two, without time to explain, disregarded seniority and hierarchy and quickly led the headmaster towards the main hall, fearing that Uncle Cat might not be able to hold on for long.

Mr. White Deer and the old man with the purple beard walked arm in arm.

"please."

Cheng Yan and Lü He stumbled into the hall, calling out, "Uncle Cat!"

In the empty hall.

The Rabbit Warriors positioned themselves in four directions, completely surrounding the ape monster.

Tiger Captain gripped the long sword at his waist, while Wolf Captain paced forward.

Two squads of flying squirrel soldiers circled around, gripping steel forks and aiming their short bows at Lu Xun.

Wutong Mountain Lord remained fearless, his power of collapsing mountains forming armor to protect his body.

His expression changed only when the two entered the main hall and called out.

"We've brought reinforcements!"

"reinforcement?"

Wu Tonglu was astonished.

Flutter.

"Di!"

A long cry followed the shadows, and the toothless night hawk flew into the hall, landing precisely on Lu Xun's shoulder. It nodded slightly and then raised its spindle-shaped head.

Afterwards.

Mr. White Deer and the old man with purple beard, arm in arm, stepped across the threshold.

Mr. Bailu first noticed the wary Lu Xun, then looked away at the enormous Mountain and Water Throne, and sighed helplessly, "Disrespectful to an elder."

Is it fun to scare children?
