I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

Chapter 5 Escape from the tiger's mouth

The moonlight was dim.

Monkey King Ridge Summit Square.

A chilling atmosphere filled the air.

"Chong--!"

The bearded young man took the lead and swung out his sword. The sword energy swept across all directions. Amidst the screams, a dozen monkey demons were immediately knocked away by the terrifying sword energy.

Blood and flesh splattered.

The White-browed Monkey King had a stern look on his face, rising up from the ground and holding a black iron rod to kill the bearded young man.

The bearded young man did not fight head-on. Instead, he dodged and rushed into the group of monsters again. He slashed with his sword and sent nearly ten more monkey monsters flying backwards.

"boom--!"

The big ape was no exception. Even though he had rough skin and thick flesh, he could not withstand the power of the bearded young man's sword. The big sword in his hand shattered when it resisted the sword energy.

Under the body covered by black hair, there was a sword wound with deep bones visible.

He almost split it in half diagonally from the left shoulder to the right abdomen.

In just an instant, half of the hundreds of monkey monsters fell.

"shameful--"

The white-browed monkey king roared angrily, and finally stopped the bearded young man when he drew his sword again.

"Clang—clang—clang—!"

In the empty square, one man and one demon, one sword and one stick, came and went. The harsh sound of clashing swords echoed constantly. No one dared to set foot in their battlefield.

The group of demons fled for their lives in a hurry.

Because even a hint of sword energy or stick power is enough to seriously injure them.

Xu Lang knew that this was an opportunity created by the bearded young man. Taking advantage of the chaos, he picked up a machete and quickly ran towards the forest.

Although there were monkey demons on the way who tried to stop him, they were all chopped down by him.

After a bloody battle, Xu Lang rushed into the forest with wounds all over his body.

He ran all the way through the mountains and forests.

The pursuers had long been left far behind him, but he did not stop at all, because as long as he was still in the Monkey King Ridge, there would still be danger.

"Boom--!"

At this moment, Monkey King Ridge began to shake, as if a terrible earthquake had occurred.

Xu Lang, who was exhausted, stumbled and fell to the ground under the sudden violent vibration.

He looked back toward the top of the mountain.

Above the dense forest, dust and smoke billowed into the sky.

"Boom—boom—!"

The violent vibrations did not stop there. They kept ringing and exploded all over the mountain. Terrible dust and smoke rose up, covering the heaven and earth and blocking the sun.

Moreover, there are ongoing conditions.

Xu Lang knew that such a big commotion must have been caused by the fight between the bearded young man and the Monkey King.

He got up, endured the paralysis of his body, and continued running down the mountain.

Just as he rushed down the mountain, there was another even more terrifying shock.

then.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

Xu Lang saw that the mountain of Monkey King Ridge suddenly dwarfed, and half of the entire mountaintop sank.

This is too scary!

Xu Lang was so shocked that he lay weakly on the grass at the foot of the mountain, breathing heavily.

He knew that from this day on, Monkey King Ridge would cease to exist.

"I wonder how that big brother is doing?"

Xu Lang prayed for the bearded young man in his heart.

After resting for a while and regaining some strength, Xu Lang continued on his way.

After a fight and a desperate run, Xu Lang was already thirsty. Now he urgently needed to drink water and find a place to spend the night.

There are wild animals roaming around here from time to time, so it's not a good place to spend the night.

If he encountered a pack of animals like wolves, he wouldn't have the strength to fight again, and his weapons would have been thrown away long ago when he ran away.

We continued walking for another half hour.

There were faint lights flickering ahead.

It's a family.

Xu Lang felt happy, walked forward and knocked on the door gently.

The person who opened the door was a sixty-year-old farmer. When he saw Xu Lang, who was covered in tatters and blood, he was startled at first, and then quickly helped Xu Lang into the house.

He asked Xu Lang to sit down, and before Xu Lang could speak, he quickly went to the backyard to get a ladle of water.

Xu Lang drank the water in one breath.

Seeing this, the old farmer took another scoop.

After drinking half a ladle of water, Xu Lang finally regained some strength, and then he felt that this body was his own.

"Thank you, old man." Xu Lang thanked him.

"Young man, did you escape from Monkey King Ridge?" the old farmer asked.

Xu Lang nodded and said: "I was captured by a monkey demon and taken to the mountain. A swordsman happened to come to Monkey King Ridge to kill the demon. I took advantage of the chaos and escaped..."

Until now, he still had lingering fears.

If the bearded swordsman hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid he would have been eaten by those monkey monsters.

"I hope all those monsters will die. They have killed too many people over the years. This must be God's punishment for them..." the old farmer said angrily.

He is now alone, but it is actually thanks to the monkey demon.

His wife passed away a long time ago, and his only son was killed by the monkey demon in Monkey King Ridge a few years ago.

"It's good that you can escape alive. Well, you must be very hungry. I'll get you a bowl of pasta."

The old farmer said, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, he brought out a bowl of hot noodles.

Xu Lang was already starving.

He hasn't eaten anything since he traveled through time, and his stomach has already growled loudly.

After saying thank you.

He didn't care that the food was hot and ate it without hesitation.

After Xu Lang finished eating the noodles, the old farmer found a set of clothes for Xu Lang: "This is what my son used to wear. You can just wear it after you wash up. You can spend the night at my place tonight..." ..."

Lying on the bed of the old farmer's son, Xu Lang had a lot of thoughts. He had inexplicably traveled to another world, and had narrowly escaped from the hands of monsters. He felt that all of this was so unreal, like a dream.

"Since God asked me to come here, then I will live well..."

Not knowing how long it took, Xu Lang fell asleep in a daze.

That night, he slept deeply.

By the time I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

When he woke up, his physical strength had been restored. He looked at the wound he had bandaged yesterday, and found that it was almost healed.

This is simply a miracle.

If such a thing had happened in his previous life, those men in white coats would not have locked him up for research.

It's incredible.

He immediately thought of the Great Heart Sutra.

Because he was so tired yesterday, he had forgotten that such a thing happened.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and quickly entered a meditative state.

In his Dantian, a stream of air circulated along his Rendu and Du meridians under the guidance of his thoughts. It lasted for a week before he exited the state of cultivation.

Let out a breath.

Xu Lang felt his body became lighter.

He opened the door, but did not find the old farmer in the house.

Just now.

There were footsteps outside.

The old farmer opened the door and walked in.

I saw him carrying a long bow on his back, a hatchet wrapped around his waist, a smile on his face, and two wild rabbits in his hands.

The old farmer said happily: "It's really satisfying. The entire mountain of Monkey King Ridge has collapsed. All those monkey monsters should be dead, not a single one is seen..."

After questioning, Xu Lang found out that the old farmer had gone to Monkey King Ridge early in the morning to investigate the situation.

Xu Lang had to admire how brave his father-in-law was, he dared to go to Monkey King Ridge alone.

While unloading his equipment, the old farmer continued: "I'm afraid these two hares were also scared out of their wits. I just happened to touch them, so I caught them and brought them back. Let's make a pot of them later..."
