Chapter 114 Young Night Watchman
"Stop, cough! Cough! Stop fighting. What do you want to know?"
"Tell us your origins and purpose, pick out the key points."
Yang Qing picked up Tuozhui Jia with one hand, and blue thunder appeared in the palm of his other hand. Although the light was not bright, it was a great pressure in Tuozhui Jia's eyes.
“Tell me, I’ll tell you.
We are Pantheists, and our goal is naturally to follow the guidance of all the gods, end this apocalypse shrouded by evil spirits, overthrow the rule of this corrupt court, and bring peace and prosperity to the people of the world.
Speaking of which, brother, do you want to join the sect? As long as you are willing, I will recommend you to our boss. With your thunder magic, you can at least be the deputy captain of our team, and it will not be a problem for you to even lead a team independently.
You know, we in the Pantheon are very kind to our own people, and all resources can be freely used on a large scale."
Although Yang Qing picked up the Tuozhuijia to threaten him, he still did not forget to fool the other party and tried to find a way out for himself through his rhetoric.
After all, he was captured by the other party now, and his life or death depended on Yang Qing's decision.
"I think you still don't understand the situation. I just killed a baboon and a wild dog of yours during the day, and now you want to recruit me into your gang?
I think you should explain clearly who else is in your organization, their strength, abilities, and other useful information.
I don't know what your specific plans are for the night of the blood moon, what your relationship is with the Liu family in the east of the city, and what other plans you have.
You'd better think carefully before answering me, Akita!"
Seeing that the other party still wanted to fool him, Yang Qing directly retorted and added a palm thunder at the right time.
But the baptism of palm thunder was far less powerful than the shock that Yang Qing’s last few words had on him.
"What, what Akita people? I don't understand what you mean."
"Stop pretending to be stupid. Your Pantheon is just the Yaki tribe among the eight tribes of Akita. I know more than you think. You'd better be honest, or you will suffer more."
"You already know that the Pantheon is just a cover for the Yakibu, so why are you asking me?"
At this moment, there was a hint of despair and determination in Tuozhuijia's eyes.
"You said you killed a baboon and a wild dog during the day. It seems that the mandrill and the wild beast died in your hands. The ghost monkey didn't tell us the truth.
What you just said was told to you by the Mandrill and the Wild Beast, but if you want to get anything out of me, it’s impossible. I am not like those two guys who are so afraid of death. "
At this point, the Tuozhui Armor that was originally picked up by Yang Qing struggled to grab Yang Qing's hand. At the same time, black smoke rose from behind it and wrapped around the Tuozhui Armor again, turning it into a fat pangolin.
Lightning flashed out from Yang Qing's hand, electrocuting the pangolin and making it scream in agony. However, in the gap between the two lightning bolts, the fat pangolin still opened its mouth fiercely and bit towards Yang Qing's wrist.
Yang Qing grabbed him by the neck and threw him against the wall of the cave, then followed up with a flying kick on his scaleless abdomen with such force that half of his body was embedded in the cave wall.
"Ahem, either kill me or give me a chance to escape. I won't surrender anyway."
At this moment, there was only determination in Tuozhuijia's eyes.
The sounds of their fight also attracted the evil spirits passing through the tunnel. At this moment, several evil spirits' low growls were gradually approaching as they followed their fight.
Taking advantage of the moment when Yang Qing was distracted, the armor turned around and drilled towards the embedded cave wall. The hard cave wall was like tofu under its claws. In just a moment, most of its body was submerged in the cave wall.
If we give it a few more breaths, it might be able to dig a hole and escape.
Yang Qing reacted in time, grabbed the carapace's tail, and then dragged it out of the newly dug tunnel like a pig, and then took the carapace and swung it towards the evil spirit that was rushing nearby.
Snapped!
The first evil spirit was blown away directly. The huge body of the armored beast was like a hammer in Yang Qing's hand. The second, third and two that approached later were all swung away.
It’s just that the tunnel is narrow and not suitable for large-scale weapons, which is why Yang Qing doesn’t use the Miao Dao.
Oh!
Yang Qing was also decisive. He realized that he could not get anything out of Tuozhuijia's mouth. Taking advantage of the opportunity to use him to knock away the evil spirit, he summoned the short knife god in his hand, and a cold light flashed across Tuozhuijia's throat.
Amidst the splattering blood, Yang Qing held the knife in both hands and stared seriously at the other evil spirits that were arriving one after another.
Within a dozen breaths, the evil spirits came like wave after wave, and Yang Qing was like a huge rock in the middle of the river, smashing the incoming waves into pieces.
This time, Yang Qing did not use the tactic of fighting and retreating. Thanks to the narrow space in the tunnel, the evil spirits could only pass through in groups of two at most. Yang Qing did not need to worry about being surrounded by the evil spirits.
After a fierce fight, all the dozen or so evil spirits that attacked were killed.
After clearing the battlefield, Yang Qing obtained another seventeen Filthy Pearls.
After taking another look at Tuozhuijia's corpse, which had turned into a wretched man, Yang Qing went forward and searched it again.
A very simple storage bag, the kind that is one meter square. In addition to a few hundred taels of silver notes, there are also a small amount of Qi-boosting pills and a few weapon talismans. The rest are miscellaneous items and are not worth much.
However, in a corner of the storage bag, Yang Qing also found a bunch of small intimate items for women, in different styles and sizes, both young and mature. It was estimated that this guy had taken them.
"Pooh!"
Yang Qing couldn't help but spit. He was indeed poor and wretched. He thought about how this guy had tried to trick him into joining the Pantheon before, saying that he would have no worries about resources after joining the cult. But now he was so poor that he actually collected this kind of items.
As expected, this guy is a big liar.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Qing blew the wolf whistle slowly. He had killed the enemy head-on on the battlefield, so there had to be someone to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies.
Not to mention how much value can be extracted from this wretched man who was beheaded. After all, there was another unlucky guy here who was killed by him and made into a flag.
All these must be reported to the higher authorities in a timely manner.
After blowing the wolf whistle for a while, Yang Qing saw that no one came. He thought about it and it was reasonable. Right now the Night Patrol Division was extremely short of manpower. So he drew out a dagger and carved a few words on the wall: Yang Qing killed the evil cultivator of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect here.
This can be considered as recording one's own contribution.
As the last stroke was made, Yang Qing actually heard footsteps approaching slowly from a distance.
Yang Qing looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw a faint light coming closer and closer. It was the night watchman who brought them here before.
"Why is it you, are there no other night watchmen?
It's dangerous for you to run in here if you have never practiced martial arts before. If you encounter an evil spirit, you will basically die here."
This night watchman was about the same age as Yang Qing, or maybe even a little younger. Judging from his body movements, one could tell that he had never practiced any martial arts.
"Reporting to Master Yang, we are short of manpower right now. I am the only one responsible for guarding the tunnel entrance. I came here when I heard the wolf whistle summoning me."
The young man had an immature face and was very reserved when he saw Yang Qing, just like Yang Qing a few months ago.
"You don't look like someone who has nowhere else to go. Why would you be so desperate as to become a night watchman? Were you fooled by the group of night watchmen who were recruiting you?"
Yang Qing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Reporting to Master Yang, I volunteered because my family urgently needs money for medical treatment. Joining the night watchmen will provide a resettlement allowance, and the first Filthy Trace Pearl is also mine. The officer in charge also said that my background is clean. As long as I can survive for a month, I can apply to withdraw."
"So you join this dangerous job just for the money."
"Well, my parents died early, and my younger sister is seriously ill and needs money for treatment, so this is the only solution.
Fortunately, I have survived ten days now. In another twenty days, I can apply to withdraw and no longer have to do this dangerous work. "
There are only twenty days left before I can apply to withdraw. Yang Qing felt sorry when he heard that. There is no way the remaining twenty days would be so easy to spend.
Not to mention that the death rate of the night watchmen in the first month is as high as 50%, and there will be a blood moon that occurs only once in nearly a decade. Add to that the Akita people who have been causing trouble in the dark, and it's unknown how many night watchmen will die, let alone the night watchmen.
