The Strongest Knight

Chapter 185 Centipede

"Captain Zhao, and this Taoist priest, are there really monsters in this world? I, Tietou, have been roaming the martial arts world for more than ten years, but I have never seen a monster."

The ranger Tietou spoke from the side, with a look of unwillingness to believe. He just thought that some guy who was good at light skills came to capture the child to practice evil skills.

"Whether the monster story is nonsense or not, we will find out later." Zhao Qinghe said with a smile.

......

The middle-aged Taoist didn't say anything.

He thought to himself that this young captain of the police was a rare man who was brave and willing to serve the people, and that he could lend a hand to him when necessary.

According to the description of the captain of the police, the middle-aged Taoist guessed that this monster should be a spider or a centipede that absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and became a spirit.

There is a trace of innate spiritual essence in the body of a young child. If the monster eats it raw, it can speed up its cultivation. The Taoist priest cannot guess the purpose of robbing the children.

However, the Taoist could also guess that this monster should only be in the realm of a small demon, which corresponds to the realm of refining essence into qi of immortal cultivators. The Taoist was confident that he could deal with it.

This kind of monster is the most poisonous, so you have to prepare anti-poison pills. He grabbed a pill from his wide robe and put it into his mouth.

After thinking for a while, the Taoist secretly found an opportunity to pass a poison-proof pill to Zhao Qinghe, "This pill can cure all kinds of poisons. Just put it in your mouth and make sure to swallow it."

Oh?

There was no time to verify the practicality of the pill. Zhao Qinghe accepted the pill without leaving any trace and nodded secretly to the Taoist.

Logically speaking, this Taoist should not have had any need to deceive himself. Did he figure out the true form of the monster from his words? Zhao Qinghe thought to himself.

It seems that maintaining the glorious image of the past twenty-one years is beginning to pay off.

At least now he has won the favor of this Taoist priest, and he privately gave Zhao Qinghe a detoxification pill.

After the episode, the team continued to move forward under the leadership of Zhao Qinghe.

The roads we walked on were all remote places in the mountains and forests, and few people usually went there.

Perhaps because they were far away from the county town, and thinking of the monsters they were about to face, the men in the team fell silent and the atmosphere became solemn.

Half an hour later, Zhao Qinghe finally arrived at the place he had been to before.

This is a dry wasteland. Normally, not only people but also animals would not come here.

The wind blew, and dust was raised, making everything look yellow.

No wonder the monster’s traces have never been discovered, or rather, everyone who discovered its traces was killed.

Zhao Qinghe led the team onto the wasteland and came to a depression at the bottom. A two-meter-wide dark hole appeared in front of everyone.

Three days ago, Zhao Qinghe saw the black shadow enter this cave.

At this time, no matter how Zhao Qinghe asked the county residents to shout in front of the cave entrance, there was no sound from inside.

"This monster is not yet mature. When it sensed so many humans gathered outside, it knew there was danger, so it hid in the cave and dared not come out."

The middle-aged Taoist said.

"Not coming out?! Ten people, come! Gather hay! Light a fire stick! Smoke it out!"

"Tietou, Shangguan Jun, the Taoist priest, and the county residents holding weapons, come closer. When the monster comes out, we will attack it directly! The rest of the county residents will wait and see outside and act accordingly!"

At Zhao Qinghe's command, the county residents took action.

The middle-aged Taoist did not object and obviously agreed with Zhao Qinghe's actions.

With strength in numbers, bundles of dry hay were quickly collected, transported over and placed in front of the cave entrance.

A group of county residents, armed with weapons, surrounded the cave entrance on all sides.

Zhao Qinghe and several of his main fighters stood facing the cave entrance, determined to deliver a fatal blow as soon as the monster appeared.

The machete was held in Zhao Qinghe's hand. No one knew how strong the Taoist was, but as of now, his main fighting power still lay in himself.

Zhao Qinghe wanted to give it a try. Could he cut a monster that couldn't be hurt by arrows by chopping it with all his strength using a mountain-splitting sword?

As soon as the wind changed direction, Zhao Qinghe immediately gave the order: "Light the fire!"

The hay was specially moistened with water, and thick smoke rose after it was ignited. The thick smoke was blown into the two-meter-wide hole by the wind.

The pitch-black cave entrance looked like a monster that was constantly swallowing up smoke, with bursts of fishy smell emanating from it.

Zhao Qinghe held the machete in hand and waited attentively.

Squeak, squeak, squeak,...

A strange squeaking sound like the rubbing of wooden boards came out of the cave, confirming that there was indeed something inside.

Everyone began to concentrate and pointed their weapons at the cave entrance.

Until the cave was almost filled with smoke, the monster could no longer bear the smoke and finally started to move.

"Whoo~"

There was a sound of breaking wind, and Zhao Qinghe shouted, "Here it comes!" and raised his machete!

In a flash, a black shadow appeared at the entrance of the cave! Zhao Qinghe raised his sword and slashed it based on his feeling!

The monster, who was dizzy from the smoke, had no idea that Zhao Qinghe would move so quickly, and was hit by Zhao Qinghe's knife.

Zhao Qinghe only felt that he had hit a stone. No, he could cut the stone in half with one blow. But when he hit the monster's body, the blade only penetrated halfway!

After this attack, the monster finally stopped, allowing Zhao Qinghe and everyone else to see clearly that the monster was a giant centipede that was more than three meters long and half a meter wide!

"Captain Zhao is very skilled!" Tietou, Shangguan Jun and a dozen county residents holding weapons were shocked. They followed Zhao Qinghe and swung their weapons at the centipede monster!

Squeak!

However, the centipede monster shook its body and threw Zhao Qinghe several meters away with its huge force, and he fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Then he twisted his body, activated all his systems, and turned into a black shadow at such a speed! Not only did he dodge most of the attacks, but he also tore the chests and abdomens of two people with his fangs!

As the centipede monster continued to move, blood was spread everywhere. In an instant, the smell of blood spread throughout the wasteland!

"Go!" The middle-aged Taoist finally completed his preparations. A khaki paper talisman he took out from his sleeve was activated and turned into a yellow light that fell on the centipede monster.

The centipede monster seemed to be pressed down by a thousand-pound weight, and its speed suddenly dropped drastically!

"What a trick!"

Zhao Qinghe rose from the dust and without saying a word, he picked up his knife and chopped at the centipede monster again!

Tietou and others also went up with swords in hand.

The centipede monster's speed has been greatly reduced. It has no way to escape and can only confront it head-on.

It swung its tail and several county residents were blown away. The remaining legs of the centipede monster tore their bodies apart, and it was obvious that they were doomed to die.

Some county residents were too frightened to step forward, but others threw stones at the centipede monster to attract its attention, and some even continued to confront it head-on.

Butcher Li Er was one of them, and he shouted, "Give me back my son's life!"

He picked up the red tassel spear issued by the county government and stabbed it into the centipede monster's mouth!
