At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

After leaving Liu the clerk, Mu Yang headed towards the police station.

As soon as I entered, I saw Lao Fang chatting with Lao Ye with a sigh on his face.

Upon seeing Mu Yang enter, the group immediately composed themselves.

"Don't be shy, what are you saying?"

Mu Yang waved his hand.

Old Fang sighed and said, "Boss, do you remember the grandfather and grandson who brought you sesame cakes the day before yesterday?"

"Old Feng?"

The image of that hunched figure, like a marionette, flashed through Mu Yang's mind last night, and a bad feeling immediately arose in his heart.

Sure enough, Lao Fang's next words made his heart sink.

"He's dead," Old Fang said. "This morning his pancake stall didn't open for a long time, and some regular customers found it strange, so they went to his house to take a look. They found that he was already stiff, so he probably died last night."

"It is said that there is a newly built small grave in his yard, with his grandson's name engraved on it. No one knows how he died. Old Feng probably lost his grandson in his old age and couldn't hold on. Alas."

The deaths of the grandfather and grandson overnight are truly heartbreaking.

Old Fang wasn't familiar with the Feng family grandfather and grandson. If he hadn't eaten a free pancake that day and learned that they knew Mu Yang, he wouldn't have paid any attention to these things.

"Is he dead...?"

Mu Yang murmured softly.

Old Feng was older than his family's old constable, so his passing could be considered a happy occasion.

It's just a pity about that little radish head.

Although he had killed the rat demon with his own hands yesterday, Mu Yang still felt a dull ache in his heart.

I want to see blood again.

"Boss, why don't you take a break? Old Ye and I will take them on patrol today." Seeing that Mu Yang was in a bad mood, Old Fang spoke up at the right time.

"Thump thump thump--!!"

Just as Mu Yang was about to speak, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

A disheveled constable, covered in blood, stumbled in.

He was a constable who went out of town to patrol the villages last night. His surname was Chen, and he belonged to the fourth squad, where Wu Cai was.

"Something terrible has happened! Li Family Village has been attacked by a monster!" Officer Chen shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Li Chuang was so anxious that he immediately stood up, looking very worried.

"Take a breath and speak slowly."

Mu Yang walked to Officer Chen's side, helped him up, and said in a deep voice.

After regaining his composure, Officer Chen immediately explained the whole story.

Yesterday, he went to patrol Lijia Village as usual. Everything was fine, and this morning he was preparing to ride his own little donkey back home.

To his surprise, he had barely left the village when he saw five or six large rat demons leap out of the forest and begin their indiscriminate slaughter as if they were in an empty field.

He tried to stop them, but one of the rat demons swatted him away with its claw. If he hadn't happened to fly right next to his donkey, he probably wouldn't have made it back alive.

"Five or six rat demons?"

After hearing Officer Chen's account, Lao Fang and the others gasped in shock.

It would probably take several constables who have cultivated their qi and blood to fight just one rat demon. If there are five or six, it would probably take several constable squads to barely put up a fight.

When did Qingxi County get so many rat demons?

"Rat demon, Li Family Village, daytime, massacre of the village, a swipe of its paw sent it flying, landing right next to the donkey..."

Mu Yang frowned slightly, carefully reviewed what Constable Chen had said in his mind, and then looked Constable Chen up and down a few times.

It wasn't that he looked down on Constable Chen; with his strength at the first level of the Skin and Flesh Realm, which only had three layers of flesh and skin, it was pure luck that he managed to escape from a rat demon.

It's almost impossible to survive against five or six rat demons.

After all, how could an ordinary donkey compare to the speed of a madly running rat demon?

In other words, Officer Chen was likely a survivor deliberately left alive by the rat demon to tip someone off and lure someone over.

Mu Yang didn't know who the rat demon was trying to attract.

He now has only one thought—

Leave the city and slay the demons!

"Old Fang, Li Chuang, go and fetch six horses."

"Old Ye, go to Liu the clerk and report the attack on Li Family Village. Ask him to prepare wound medicine. Once you have it all, send it over together."

"Lin Xiaoqi, take Constable Chen to the backyard to find Elder You. Constable Chen's injuries are quite serious and he needs treatment as soon as possible."

Mu Yang spoke calmly and clearly, and quickly assigned tasks to everyone.

"Yes, foreman!"

Everyone nodded immediately, except for Lin Xiaoqi, who seemed to realize something and asked:

"Hey, what about you, squad leader?"

"I?"

Mu Yang gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand, stood ramrod straight, and glanced back at the crowd: "I'm going to kill a demon."

His voice remained calm and even, as if he were not heading to the monster-infested Li Family Village, but simply to patrol the ordinary, peaceful streets.

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of worry.

Mu Yang is very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bring back a monster's head every day.

Even the strongest can be outnumbered when facing five or six monsters.

Moreover, the opponent has more than four hands.

"Squad leader, why don't we go find Squad Leader Wu and the others together?" Old Fang asked cautiously.

Mu Yang didn't reply, but simply waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"Ahem!"

Just then, Chen, who was standing nearby looking weak, couldn't help but cough twice. Then, disregarding his discomfort, he saw Mu Yang about to leave and hurriedly called out, "Chief Mu, wait a minute!"

Everyone was drawn by Constable Chen's shout. Mu Yang paused and turned around to look.

"Actually, there's something else I didn't say. I wasn't just lucky to be swatted next to the donkey by the rat demon; it was because they deliberately let me go so they could send me back to deliver a message!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Fang and the others' expressions all changed.

Only Mu Yang remained expressionless.

Officer Chen, disregarding the expressions of the others, opened his slightly pale mouth and continued, "The leader of the rat demons said that you, Chief Shepherd, must go to Li Family Village in person, or they will massacre the village. I was afraid that you cared about the village and would be willing to fall for their provocation and risk going alone, so I didn't say anything!"

Originally, Constable Chen had not intended to say these things.

After all, Mu Yang is still young. If he makes a mistake due to a moment of impulsiveness, causing Qingxi County to lose a future martial arts master, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Now that Mu Yang is determined to go, he naturally can't care about anything else and can only try to dissuade him.

"this......"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed a look of hesitation.

If they were only slightly worried before that Mu Yang was prepared to act alone, now they are extremely anxious and uneasy.

After all, the other side was clearly prepared and aimed directly at Muyang.

Even Li Chuang, who was concerned about the safety of the village, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and didn't interrupt.

Mu Yang didn't feel much emotional fluctuation. Officer Chen's words simply made him understand the doubts he had just had.

It turns out that the other person was trying to attract him!

But Mu Yang showed no fear whatsoever.

Since the other party contacted him, they even showed up in groups.

That's perfect.

That will save him the trouble of searching for them one by one!

"I see."

Mu Yang waved his hand, without hesitation or lingering, and strode out of the constable's office. Only then did a sentence reach their ears.

"Keep doing as I just said, and leave the rest to me."
