Chapter 144: 109 Werewolves

"Let’s go."

Feng Guangyi immediately turned his horse around, leading the way ahead.

Fang Zhixing followed behind, heading towards the north side of the village.

There was a large mountain in the northern direction, at the bottom of which lay a huge quarry.

Beyond the busy farming seasons, villagers of Great Liu Village made their living by quarrying stone.

They walked several miles along the mountain road.

Suddenly, a huge mining pit came into view.

At first glance, it resembled a small basin.

The outline of the mining pit was almost circular, with a diameter of over three hundred meters and a depth of more than fifty meters.

To reach the deepest part, one would need to follow the stepped corridor along the edge of the pit, winding their way downwards.

Feng Guangyi looked at the vast quarry and exclaimed excitedly, "This is perfect; this quarry is a natural cage. It will trap that demon tight, with no chance of escape."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing immediately understood what the "old method" they had mentioned was all about.

It seemed to be a case of catching turtles in a jar!

Yun Zhen said seriously, "Let’s not be too happy too soon. What if that demon reveals its true form and it has wings, then it could fly out and escape. Additionally, there might not be just one demon."

Master Yun Xin also reminded, "Aside from those that can fly, watch out for those that can burrow. I once encountered a demon that, upon revealing its true form, could burrow through the ground, making tunnels rapidly. If there hadn’t been an expert from the Heavenly Python Series on the scene, we might have let that demon escape."

Hearing this, Feng Guangyi’s expression quickly became serious, and he nodded, "Mm-hmm, my wife is right; the master is right. One cannot be too cautious and careful when dealing with demons."

Yun Zhen turned to Master Yun Xin and said earnestly, "Sister Master, when the time comes, Guangyi and I will confront and force the demon to show itself."

You stay hidden on the side, ready to strike and kill the demon."

As for the knight..."

She turned her head.

Fang Zhixing immediately interjected, "I am proficient in archery, never missing my target, and I have Second Level arrows. I can take a stand at a high place and ambush the demon, ready to support you at any moment."

Yun Zhen’s eyes lit up; she immediately smiled and said, "That would be great. With a superb archer covering the sky, that demon has no chance of escaping."

Feng Guangyi immediately nodded in agreement, "Mm-hmm, if the demon takes hostages among the villagers, or if it breaks through our encirclement, we will rely on your archery for suppression."

Master Yun Xin also nodded with a smile, "Let’s arrange it this way. Knight Zhixing, this is your first demon hunt, so you can adapt to the situation as it unfolds."

"Good!"

Fang Zhixing nodded, then looked down at Xigou and whispered, "You go with them and try out your sense of smell, to see if you can discern the demon hiding among the crowd."

"I’m not going!"

Xigou flatly refused, glancing at Master Yun Xin and the couple, and scoffed, "Are these three people too naive? Didn’t they realize that the reason you chose a high ground is to run away at the first sight of danger? Humph, you don’t want to risk your skin, so you expect me to?"

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and said, "Are you looking down on my archery skills?"

Xigou retorted with disdain, "Humph, what are you thinking, that I can’t figure out? A gentleman doesn’t stand under a wall in jeopardy; you wouldn’t put yourself in an uncertain situation. If you won’t, then neither will I!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person who fears death?"

Fang Zhixing said earnestly, "Alas, you, no, you dog, you always measure others by your petty dog’s standards. I choose a high place because it’s my first time confronting a demon, and I need to maintain an appropriate distance to observe, that’s all."

"Cut the crap! Do you think I am so easily fooled?"

Xigou bared his teeth, "You, do I not know you? A belly full of bad water, never up to any good."

"Ah yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right. Everyone else is drunk, and you, alone, are sober, is that good enough for you?"

Fang Zhixing was beyond exasperation, snorted, and raised an eyebrow, "But have you considered why Master Yun Xin and that couple trust me so implicitly? They are not fools, so why do they have such faith in me?"

Xigou indeed couldn’t figure it out.

It seemed like those three people simply trusted Fang Zhixing inexplicably.

Fang Zhixing said his archery was good; he said he was better suited for high ground, and those three didn’t harbor the slightest doubt.

What was going on?

Had Fang Zhixing’s reputation suddenly improved this much?

Fang Zhixing scoffed, "You’ve been so focused on being a bootlicker these past days, you’ve ignored me entirely, and now you’re blindsided, puzzled about what’s happening."

Curious, Xigou couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly did you do? How did you gain the trust of those three?"

Fang Zhixing’s mouth curved into a smile, "It’s simple: in their eyes, I am a person of great justice, bold and courageous, a young and passionate upstanding hero, with goals aligned with theirs. I am a good person!"

Xigou’s eyes widened in disbelief, not knowing what to say for a moment.

They must be blind to think Fang Zhixing was a good person!

In any case, Xigou was determined not to go.

With no other choice, Fang Zhixing had to find an optimal ambush point on his own, taking Xigou with him.

The man and dog quickly found a concealed corner to hide.

Gradually, the pitch-black dawn gave way, and a hint of daybreak appeared at the edge of the sky.

"Everyone, hurry and follow, keep up..."

The old village chief, Liu Gencai, led thousands of villagers in a grand procession to the quarry.

"People are disappearing from the village, leaving everyone in fear. I’m taking you all to a safe place to take refuge. Hurry up, follow and don’t lose anyone!"
