Cute Beast Food Garden

The new Commander of Bao County, when he took office, was high-profile and made a lot of noise. As soon as he took office, he "lived up to everyone's expectations" and did a big thing: every town in the county must establish a chamber of commerce.

This "chamber of commerce" was initiated by the government and operated by the people.Every vendor in the town, regardless of their net worth, must join as a member of the chamber of commerce and pay a membership fee; while the chairman and other high-level officials of the chamber of commerce are appointed by the most influential merchants in Luoxia Town—Yuanshan Restaurant, The bosses of the Beast House and Luoxia Casino will be in charge.

It can be said that the discourse power of the business community in Luoxia Town has once again returned to the hands of the big business owners.

Two days later, the Luoxia Town Chamber of Commerce issued an order requiring every merchant in the town to pay a tax called "National Protection Tax".It is said that after checking the accounts of the official treasury, the new county magistrate found that the county suffered serious financial losses and was unable to make ends meet.

However, after barely collecting a round of "national protection tax", the government came to extend its hand again-the new county order stated that in order to support the government and army in fighting the demons and suppressing the rebels, the merchants in the town must "do their best to protect the country as much as possible." Donate more money" to contribute to defending the homeland.

Although the new county order vigorously called on everyone to "raise money for the country", the people have already paid two rounds of fees, and they really can't come up with more money.As for the shops - most of Boss Lan's income is supported by the Black Feather Army far away in the mountains, and other shops on the food street also choose to stay on the sidelines, and are not very interested in raising funds.After all, in addition to this, the shops must also bear the cost of operation and other taxes of various names.In the face of one after another new taxes, the shop owners had to.

Seeing that people were unwilling to use money to raise funds for the army, the people from the chamber of commerce went door-to-door to collect money, and took some money from the people in sporadic places.

It's just that it is still unclear where the "national protection tax" and "fundraising for the country" are used.

Qi Yan personally tends to think that the hard-earned money they paid was not used wisely.Because since then, there have been strange and strange beasts appearing in the town from time to time-at first, they were small beasts such as poisonous snakes and fierce cats, and the residents could deal with them with sticks or kitchen knives; but later, they wandered into the town The ferocious beasts are getting bigger and bigger, and their temperament is getting more and more ferocious. It is difficult for civilians to expel these ferocious creatures by their own strength. People are often bitten or stunned by ferocious beasts, so people have to go to the government for help.

However, although he promised to solve the problem and capture the beast, the government commissioner has not appeared for a long time, and the poorly governed town is even more chaotic.

At noon that day, Qi Yan went to the street and bought two catties of mutton, and was going to take it back to the restaurant to make soup.As usual, he took small steps casually and walked on the street, but he always felt a weird chill covering his whole body quietly, making the hairs on his back stand up one by one.

He couldn't see anything when he turned his head several times, so he kept his eyes open, calmed down, mobilized the aura stored in his daily practice, and stretched his senses to the maximum extent.

After improving his perception ability, he looked back again, and the scene in front of him changed instantly: there was a giant rhinoceros with a huge figure and strange appearance closely following him!

When he turned his head, he was right next to the black, piebald giant rhinoceros nose-to-nose, staring wide-eyed.

"Roar!"

The giant rhino suddenly opened its mouth and roared wildly.Its big mouth was close at hand, and its cry almost broke Qi Yan's eardrums.

Seeing that its stalking was discovered, the terrifying monster immediately raised its two thick front legs and stepped on Qi Yan. The young man was so frightened that he ran away, shouting, "Help, the monster is coming! Everyone!" Run for your life!"

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and a young man walking towards him suddenly saw a huge rhino chasing a young boy rumbling towards him. He was so frightened that he screamed and ran wildly: "My mother, it's the Yeyue rhinoceros!"

The sound of their running and shouting finally alarmed the merchants on both sides of the street. When people saw the sudden appearance of giant beasts, some screamed in panic, some fled in a panic, and shouted in a mess.Until a man ignored everyone's dissuasion and crying, and rushed straight into the street - he hugged the fleeing boy, covered his head with his big hands, then turned around and punched Yeyue The big face of the rhino.

"Don't go, run away!"

People watched in horror as the man blocked Yeyue's attack with his own flesh and blood, and couldn't help shouting.

However, the expected tragedy of the man's flesh and bones did not happen.On the contrary, this huge brown and black rhinoceros was punched in the face, and its whole body was sent flying a few feet away. It hit the ground with a bang, creating a huge crater!

"Whoa!"

The Yeyue rhino was smashed headfirst into the ground, and its screams were muffled by the scattered rubble.The huge body twitched in pain, Yeyue rhinoceros backed up and kicked a few times feebly, struggling to pull itself out of the pit, but immediately, it received another heavy punch on the back.

The rhinoceros hit two moves in a row, but finally lost its strength, fell limply, and remained motionless with a humming sound.

Seeing that the monster had been beaten into a dizzy state, the people stopped panicking and cast surprised glances at the man who knocked the monster unconscious with two punches.But the man who had been baptized by his gaze didn't have time to take this into consideration. He looked down at the boy in his arms, and gently rubbed his face, "Hey... how are you?"

"Alright, alright."

Just now, Qi Yan was covered by the man's hand on his forehead, and his sight was also blocked.Now I can finally poke my head out and see the big monster that has been chasing me for three blocks.

"What is this, a beast?"

Dong Mo touched his forehead to confirm that he was not injured in the chaos just now, and then glanced at the humming and twitching monster behind him, "Yes. Some people say that this guy is called 'Yueyue Rhinoceros'."

"It's so big, I didn't expect it to be solved in two strokes." Qi Yan sincerely admired Dongmo's strength, but suddenly remembered something, took Dongmo's fisting arm, and took his hand from the sleeve come out.

"Ah! Dongmo, your hands..." The man's finger bones were pale and his joints were covered with blood!

He glared at Dongmo, saw him smiling innocently with a guilty conscience, and thumped his chest lightly: "You made your hands like this again, you are working too hard! You still look like nothing happened... ...There is such a big beast on the opposite side, why did you swing it with one fist? Come on, let's go back to the restaurant and bandage our hands."

"Hey, the situation is urgent, and it's too late to get a weapon." Dongmo scratched his hair and smiled sheepishly.Qi Yan looked in along Dongmo's sleeve, and saw black lines wrapped around his wrist, slowly crawling on his skin like a swimming snake.

It was just now that the force was exerted instantly, and it was the black lines that released a large amount of magic energy, which played a role in boosting.Otherwise, how could it be possible to repel this giant beast in one go with only human strength?

Fortunately, it was approaching winter, and Dongmo was dressed thickly, covering his arms and legs.Otherwise, the black lines spreading from the back to the whole body will definitely be noticed, arousing the suspicion of the onlookers.

Qi Yan led Dongmo to the restaurant, but in a blink of an eye, he found that many people around him were staring at Dongmo and talking a lot.

"Isn't this guy the cook of the Fourteenth Restaurant? He knocked the beast away with one fist, isn't he too powerful?"

"Yeah, isn't it a folk expert..."

Someone even ran to Dongmo in a hurry: "Two screaming bears rushed into our house, can you please help us drive them out? The house is occupied, and my family has no place to live. I can stay with my relatives..."

Before Dongmo could respond, under the leadership of this person, other people who were harassed or attacked by ferocious beasts couldn't help but cast expectant glances at him and eagerly came to ask for help.

"Brother Dongmo, a few big boa constrictors also came into my shop, their bodies are thicker than tree trunks... Now all the customers have been scared away, and the business is gone. Can you help me drive the big snakes out? After the work is done, there must be a big thank you!"

"And me and me! A group of Moshuo rats ran into my warehouse. They were big and had sharp teeth. They almost gnawed down the walls of the house... Please go and help me..."

The helpless crowd rushed forward, asking for help from the man in front of him who was beating the giant beast with his bare hands.In their eyes, the government of Luoxia Town did nothing against the beasts and did not care about their lives, and this powerful man in front of them was regarded as the new "Patron Saint".

Facing everyone's noisy requests, Dong Mo was a little at a loss.But when he was thinking about how to respond, he suddenly heard a commotion from behind the crowd, and someone shouted hoarsely: "It's terrible, there are monsters again!"

There was a commotion.Qi Yan looked away, and saw several groups of black shadows dodging left and right in the crowd, bumping into countless flying all the way, and rushing towards this side.

"Ah, the monster is coming again! Run away!"

Before taking a breath, people fell into panic again, screaming and fleeing in all directions.Qi Yan was wrapped up in the chaotic flow of people and knocked crookedly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Mo held him firmly in his arms, and the two fled towards the street together.

They ran into the backyard of the restaurant in one breath.Boss Lan, who heard the movement, came out of the rest room, trotted towards him with the hem of his gown, and asked in surprise, "Why, what happened outside?"

"Just now there was a big black-spotted rhino that turned invisible. It followed me silently and almost scared me half to death." Qi Yan panted, "Besides, not only it, many ferocious beasts are blatant The devil is coming to town and rampaging through the streets."

"The invisible rhinoceros with black stripes? You don't mean the Yeyue rhinoceros, do you?"

"Yes, that's the name. I heard some passers-by say the same."

Boss Lan frowned, "Yueyue rhinoceros is good at sneaking and tracking. It is a famous 'stealth beast' in the Demon Realm. It is also called 'Four Turns Back'."

"'Four heads back'?" Qi Yan couldn't help being curious, "Why is it called this name? It doesn't have four heads either!"

Boss Lan explained: "It's like this - the Yeyue rhinoceros has the ability to hide. It likes to hide its sound, shape and breath, and walks quietly behind people, making strange noises or touching twice from time to time. People are caught It harassed me, so I couldn't help but look back frequently, but I couldn't see anything. Once I turned back more than four times, the Yeyue rhinoceros would show its original shape, trample people into meatloaf and eat them, so it was called It's called 'Four Turns Back', and it's also known as 'Death Turns Back'."

Qi Yan was taken aback.What Boss Lan said was exactly the same as his experience of being followed by a monster just now, which made him shudder.

Boss Lan continued: "When I was living in the mountains, I often ran into fierce beasts sneaking over from the Demon Realm, and I also heard about the Yeyue rhinoceros. The older generation in the mountains once told me that if I noticed something When following you, teasing or touching you from time to time, don’t look back at this time, keep your head down and keep going.” He sighed melancholy, “But even so, the life it is staring at People are almost doomed...Qi Yan, how did you get rid of it?"

"I bought some mutton in the street this morning, and I turned my head when I heard the sounds and movements behind me, but it seemed that it was less than four times..." Qi Yan recalled the situation at that time, "When I turned my head, I couldn't see anything, so I hurried After activating the spirit energy, I saw the real body of the monster, and was chased by it all the way." He looked at Dongmo, "Then, Dongmo fell from the sky and beat it flat."

Dong Mo looked in the direction of the street sadly, "However, now there are another group of fierce beasts on the street..."

"here we go again……?"

Boss Lan heard the words and went to the door to check the situation.I saw the chaos outside the house, and the people fled to the shops in a panic, closing the doors tightly. There were only more and more monsters, big and small, wandering aimlessly in the street, bumping into the tight ones from time to time. The closed shop door caused another scream in the room.

"Damn it... What the hell is going on in the Yamen? The beasts are running all over the street. Where are the government soldiers we paid for?"

There are not many customers in the restaurant.They huddled in the house in fear and did not dare to leave, so they could only observe the scene outside through the gaps in the bamboo windows.The ferocious beasts had already occupied most of the streets in the town, crawling back and forth in groups of three and four, and roaring loudly from time to time.Qi Yan and Dong Mo comforted the customers in the room, while Boss Lan went back to the backyard alone and informed He Jia of the situation.

"Vicious beasts... a large number of vicious beasts?" He Jia's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and he licked his lips with a smile, "Isn't there another delicious barbecue delivered to your door? I haven't eaten for a long time. I really miss it..."

Boss Lan's eyes were dim, and he looked at him silently. "He Jia."

Seeing the beauty calling his name with a gloomy expression, He Jia knew the seriousness of the situation.He put away his cynical smiling face, quickly dressed and got out of bed.

The man hurriedly put the clothes and supplies into the package, and said to Boss Lan: "Zeqing, the direction of the demon invasion is the northeast of Luoxia Town. At this time, the front line defense may have collapsed, and the fierce beasts that broke into the town There will only be more and more. When the vicious beasts outside are less active, you can find a chance to go to the Yamen to see what these officials are planning, whether they really want to abandon Luoxia Town and let the Demon Kingdom fight Come in." His tone sank, "After all, the villages on the edge are now fighting bloody battles, and only our Dazhu State government can sit still and be so calm."

Boss Lan nodded.He Jia slung the package on his back, turned and walked out, "I will find a way to contact the Black Feather Army around the town to see if there is any extra manpower to come to support. In the meantime, you stay at the restaurant to observe the situation, Protect the people of the town."
