I became a saint in the world of Liao Zhai, and flirted with monster girls

Perhaps it was Zhou Kao's calm demeanor that infected the village woman. She tried to calm her rapid breathing and said with lingering fear: "Zhou, Zhou's scholar, just now I was washing clothes by the river with other women in the village.

Suddenly, a monster that looked like an evil ghost suddenly jumped out from the forest beside the river.

The monster was thin and it grabbed Huaihua away with one hand.

Judging from its appearance, it must be a mandrill. More than ten years ago, the daughter-in-law of the Wei family who had just married into our Xiaohe Village was abducted by a mandrill.

Having said this, the village woman subconsciously looked at the aunt next to her.

The aunt's face became increasingly ugly, and fear surged in her eyes like a tide.

Because the daughter-in-law of the Wei family who was abducted more than ten years ago was her husband's first wife, and it was because of this incident that she was able to marry into the Wei family later.

"I see"

Zhou Kao frowned and thought to himself that under such circumstances, the villagers must have been very frightened, so the information they knew was extremely limited. It might be difficult for them to even determine whether the monster was a mandrill.

"I cannot sit idly by and watch a mandrill kidnap someone.

I'm going to the river to check the situation. Aunt Wei, please inform the village chief about this and ask him to call back everyone near the village and ask them to try not to go out in the near future.

That mandrill might still be wandering around here and hasn't gone far."

Zhou Kao gave orders in an orderly manner, while at the same time reaching out to put the big knife on his waist, and resolutely prepared to go to the river to find out what was going on.

Seeing this, Old Man Liu hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Zhou family kid, that's a mandrill, extremely ferocious. If you encounter one, you might lose your life. You'd better not go."

"That's all right. Just do as I say. It's just a beast that preys on women. If I come across it, I'll kill it."

After Zhou Kao finished speaking, he strode away without saying another word.

He has practiced martial arts for so many years, and he also hates those ghosts and monsters who bring harm to others. If he encounters one today, how can he give up?

Now that he has heard about this today, it is definitely not his style to back down.

Even if there are certain dangers ahead, in his opinion, they are just passing clouds and nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that the young man from the Zhou family, who was a scholar, was so calm and composed, everyone acted according to Zhou Kao's instructions, although they were still worried.

"Mr. Zhou, please go back quickly. A mandrill suddenly appeared by the river and kidnapped Xiao Huaihua. You must not go to the river now."

On the way, another villager who had fled back in panic was stunned when he saw Zhou Kao, and then shouted anxiously.

However, Zhou Kao seemed not to hear anything and continued to stride towards the river without stopping for a moment.

Seeing that Zhou Kao was unmoved, the villager who had kindly reminded him shouted once, then said no more and fled in a hurry, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him.

Zhou Kao quickened his pace and soon arrived at the river.

The river in front of me is not wide, only about three meters wide, and the riverside is covered with large pebbles.

On these stones were scattered many unwashed clothes, which must have been dropped in a hurry by the frightened village women who fled in panic.

On the other side of the river, in the shade near the woods, a basin of nearly washed clothes was placed among a few pebbles, and around the clothes were several huge footprints. The shapes of the footprints were strange and could not be left by humans.

“This mandrill doesn’t even dare to cross the riverbank easily, it acts so cautiously.

"But the more this is the case, the more it proves that even if this creature can cultivate to become a spirit, its level of cultivation must not be very high," Zhou Kao speculated in his heart.

If it really was a powerful monster, why would it only dare to kidnap a weak little girl?

I'm afraid he would have already swaggered into the county town and attacked those strong men.

"Follow up and have a look."

Zhou Kao stared at the huge and strange footprints by the river. He saw that they extended all the way along the river and finally disappeared into the dense forest.

He was not afraid at all. He reached out and grasped the hilt of the big knife at his waist and stepped steadily into the woods.

The forest next to Xiaohe Village is not the kind of deep, dense, and rarely visited old forest.

On weekdays, villagers often go up the mountain to hunt and chop firewood, and the area of ​​this forest is not large.

According to common sense, monsters should not be born in such a place, but who would have thought that a mandrill would appear here more than ten years ago, and Zhou Kao had never heard of it before.

"Strange, why did the footprints suddenly disappear? Did the mandrill climb up a tree?"

Suddenly, after tracking for a while, Zhou Kao found that there was no trace of the mandrill's footprints.

Although this forest is not an ancient forest in the deep mountains, the natural environment of ancient times has been preserved extremely primitively. Even such a small forest has tall and lush trees, with branches and leaves covering the sky, and overgrown grass and thorns, which brings great difficulties to the tracking work.

"Look carefully around here to see if you can find any other clues."

Zhou Kao was not discouraged and began to search around carefully.

Suddenly, he saw a small piece of red cloth hanging from a small tree. He reached out and took it down, examining it carefully. The red cloth was brand new, obviously it had been torn off not long ago.

"I think it must have been left by that little girl. She's quite clever. She knew to leave clues for others to find."

Zhou Kao was delighted and immediately became alert. He continued to track in the direction indicated by the red cloth.

Sure enough, a few dozen meters ahead, he found another small piece of red cloth.

It seems that after Xiao Huaihua was abducted, she secretly left these marks along the way, which undoubtedly provided great convenience for Zhou Kao's tracking.

Following these marks, Zhou Kao gradually went deeper into the mountains and forests. After several twists and turns, he came to an extremely hidden place at the foot of a mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, several huge rocks are stacked on top of each other, and in the middle of the rocks, a cave can be vaguely seen.

From the cave, a woman's faint sobbing sound was heard, and the sound drifted slowly in the quiet forest. If Zhou Kao did not know the reason, others would probably think it was the sound made by a ghost in the mountains.

But Zhou Kao was certain that the voice must have come from the little girl named Huaihua from Xiaohe Village.

"Finally found."

After a long search, Zhou Kao finally found the mandrill's hiding place.

This place is hidden too secretly. If we hadn't followed the clues all the way here, even if this forest is not big, it would be impossible to find this cave unless we conducted a large-scale search of the mountain.

"Where did the mandrill go?"

Zhou Kao did not approach the cave rashly. Instead, he looked alert and looked around carefully with sharp eyes, trying to find the trace of the mandrill.

To be honest, Zhou Kao has been in this world for so many years, but he has never really seen anything like gods and ghosts.

He observed carefully for a long time. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was silence all around. Not only was there no sight of a mandrill, but even the shadow of a flying bird.

"That's strange. This mandrill kidnapped people, but where did it go?"

Zhou Kao was full of doubts and pondered inwardly, then he slowed down his pace and slowly approached the cave.

If the mandrill is not nearby, then the only possibility is that it is hiding in the cave. After all, this is its nest, and the abducted little Huaihua is probably still in the cave.

Chapter 3: Charm Failed and Was Cut Off

"Woo, woo"

From deep within the cave, a little girl's suppressed sobbing could be heard. The sound echoed in the empty cave, revealing fear and helplessness.

Zhou Kao slowly walked into the cave.

I could see the scene inside the cave clearly.

I saw a little girl in tattered clothes curled up in the corner of the cave. Her hair was messy, with a few strands stuck to her tear-stained face, and her eyes were full of fear.

If Zhou Kao had not followed the clues all the way here, he would have thought that the sobbing sound was the shrill wail of a mountain ghost.

"Is she the girl from the Jia family?" Zhou Kao asked gently in a low voice.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Huaihua suddenly stopped crying and raised her head.

When she saw a tall, handsome young man walk in, her eyes instantly flashed with surprise: "Yes, is it Brother Zhou? It's me, it's me."

Xiao Huaihua's voice was tearful, yet also filled with the excitement of surviving the disaster.

"I'm glad you're okay. I'll take you back right away." Zhou Kao said.

Little Sophora japonica nodded excitedly and tried to struggle to stand up.

However, her hands and feet were tightly trapped by the old vines in the mountains. The old vines were like ferocious pythons, deeply embedded in her skin.

As soon as she exerted force, she staggered and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Kao was about to go and help, when suddenly, he heard a strange cry behind him. The sound was sharp and piercing, like that of a human and an animal, and echoed in the cave, making people feel creepy.

"Mandrill?"

Zhou Kao was startled and turned around suddenly.

A strange monkey wearing a red hat appeared at the entrance of the cave.

This strange monkey was covered with black fur, and was as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child. It had a circle of green hair on its neck, making it look particularly weird.

Its face was extremely ugly, with its teeth bared, and it looked at Zhou Kao with a strange smile that made people shudder.

Although this mandrill is not big in size, it is incredibly strong. It actually lifted a huge stone as big as a millstone and pretended to smash it towards Zhou Kao.

The cave is small, and if this huge rock falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"How dare you! How can you commit such evil in broad daylight? Watch out for the knife!"

Zhou Kao roared and threw the tiger-patterned sword in his hand without hesitation.

He had practiced martial arts for many years and possessed incredible strength. His tiger-patterned broadsword was powerful enough to kill tigers, bears, and

How could this skinny little baboon resist it? Even if it became a spirit, its power would definitely not be very high.

"squeak!"

When the mandrill saw the flying sword, a human-like look of fear appeared on its face.

It dropped the boulder in its hand in panic and dodged to the side in a hurry.

The big knife whizzed past, brushing against the baboon's body, and sank nearly half a foot into the ground, the handle still trembling slightly.

"Sister Jia, wait a moment. I'll go and kill that bitch to appease the hatred I... hold in your heart."

Zhou Kao smiled and comforted Xiao Huaihua.

Then, he turned around and roared, "You cowardly bastard, you still dare to run? Stretch out your neck! I'll chop it off for you, Grandpa Zhou!"

After saying that, Zhou Kao strode out of the cave.

"Brother Zhou, be careful."

Although Xiao Huaihua was scared, she still worried about Zhou Kao's safety, and her voice trembled slightly.

After Zhou Kao rushed out of the cave, he immediately pulled out the tiger-patterned sword from the ground.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the surrounding mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests are lush with trees, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

"Did this bastard escape?"

Zhou Kao pondered in his heart.

If this mandrill escapes, finding it again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Although the forest here is not big, it is connected to the nearby forests. If a demon wants to hide, it will be difficult to find it even if hundreds of people are sent to search.

Zhou Kao waited for a while, but still found no trace of the mandrill.

But he didn't dare to go far, after all, the girl from the Jia family was still tied up in the cave.

If the mandrill comes back and hurts the little girl again after I leave, I will be at a loss.

"You're lucky, bastard. Once we get the girl from the Jia family back, I'll call on Brother Zhang to gather the local militia to search the mountain overnight."

Zhou Kao was thinking in his mind.

This monster has already killed a person. If I hadn't arrived in time today, Xiao Huaihua would have been killed as well. Such an evil monster must not be allowed to live.

Just as he turned around to return to the cave, suddenly, he heard a slight movement in the nearby forest.

Zhou Kao immediately stopped and looked vigilantly in the direction of the noise.

The grass and trees were parted, and the mandrill came out again.

However, the appearance of this mandrill is very strange.

It had two wooden sticks tied under its feet, making its height almost the same as that of a normal person.

The red hat on his head was even more gorgeous, and he was wearing a gorgeous woman's dress that he had stolen from somewhere.

It imitated the way a woman walked, posing and shaking its ugly butt, and walked towards Zhou Kao step by step.

There was a strange smile on the mandrill's ferocious face, and a silver bell-like laugh came from its mouth.
