Zhang Zhixuan had just planted the seeds of chalcedony rice when he suddenly discovered a smoke signal from the direction of Lushan County.
This smoke signal was a signal from Lushan County to contact the monks, indicating that the monster had appeared.
One black smoke signal indicated that the monster had just awakened and was easier to deal with. Two smoke signals indicated that the monster had already entered the second stage.
As for the three smoke signals, the Zhang family had been based in Lushan for hundreds of years and had never seen a third-level monster nearby.
The area near Lushan was already a well-developed internal area, and there were no monsters nearby.
Monsters above level three were only common in the southern wilderness more than 100,000 miles away.
Zhang Zhixuan put down the tools in his hand, then took out the magic tools and talismans from the suitcase he was carrying, quickly opened the protective formation, and completely hid the spiritual field in the mist.
He used the light body technique and ran quickly towards Lushan County. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Zhixuan saw that many people had gathered at the gate of the city, and the county magistrate Zhang Menggong stood anxiously at the front.
Zhang Menggong was already over fifty years old and ranked sixteenth in the family.
Unfortunately, his spiritual root aptitude was very poor, and he did not work hard to cultivate. Although he was not young, his cultivation was very low, only at the second level of Qi training.
So even though he was older, he did not dare to put on airs in front of a young genius like Zhang Zhixuan.
In the family, Zhang Zhixuan's status was far higher than Zhang Menggong.
Zhang Menggong saw Zhang Zhixuan from a distance, and was immediately overjoyed. He said excitedly: "My nephew is here, come and see if it is a monster attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Menggong pulled Zhang Zhixuan into the city gate, and after a few turns, he entered a small courtyard near the city wall.
There were more than a dozen armored warriors guarding the small courtyard, and the leader was the city patrol officer Liu Hushan.
Liu Hushan could not be considered a cultivator, and he had no spiritual roots in his body.
The Liu family is only a small family in Lushan County, with less than a hundred members. Except for Liu Hushan, who has a good talent for martial arts and has advanced to the innate level, the rest are ordinary people.
Zhang Zhixuan quickly entered the courtyard and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood. He carefully observed and found nine corpses in the courtyard. Each corpse had dozens of scratches and a bloody hole on the chest. The heart had long been missing.
Zhang Zhixuan took out a talisman, wiped a little blood on the ground, muttered something, and then threw the talisman and shouted: "Go."
This talisman is called the Guiding Talisman, and its effect is far better than the police dogs on Earth.
The talisman was stable in the air, and it turned slightly and flew to the south of the city.
Zhang Zhixuan and others rushed up and followed the talisman closely.
In a moment, the talisman flew into a house and landed in a dilapidated courtyard.
Liu Hushan took the lead and kicked the gate open to enter the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the gate, he heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
In the blink of an eye, a cat over three feet long rushed towards him, opened its mouth and bit Liu Hushan's throat.
Liu Hushan was shocked and had no time to dodge.
"Lower your head."
Liu Hushan heard a loud shout from behind and lowered his head suddenly.
I saw a green light shooting from behind. This green lightsaber was more than one foot long, and the sound of breaking through the air was quite sharp. In an instant, it passed over Liu Hushan's body and cut on the giant cat's front paw.
The lightsaber was not only extremely fast, but also extremely sharp. With one slash, it had cut the giant cat's front paw into two pieces.
This lightsaber was the magic weapon Cuizhu Sword in Zhang Zhixuan's hand.
The giant cat screamed, and a black light flashed from its eyes, shooting towards Zhang Zhixuan.
In the family's Sutra Hall, Zhang Zhixuan already had some understanding of the monsters.
Monsters use the moonlight aura to cultivate. The brighter the moon is, the stronger the power of the moonlight is, and the greater the power of the monsters is.
The first-level monster just absorbed the power of the moonlight and only awakened a life spell. Although it is sharp-tongued and much more powerful than the ordinary innate cultivators who don't know spells, it's a pity that its methods are not as diverse as those of the Qi training cultivators.
Meeting a Qi training cultivator like Zhang Zhixuan, there is basically no chance of winning.
Zhang Zhixuan moved his body and used the light body technique. With a light float, his body had already jumped to the roof.
Liu Hushan, who had just escaped a disaster, saw a black light shooting towards his savior, drew out his sword and stretched out his hand to block it, wanting to block the black light and rescue Zhang Zhixuan behind him.
Unfortunately, the black light turned rapidly and bypassed his interception, shooting directly at Liu Hushan. He was hit by the black light before he could dodge. He fell down immediately, foaming at the mouth, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and he completely lost his breath in less than a moment.
Liu Hushan's cultivation was low, and he had no spiritual roots. Even though he had a good talent for martial arts, it was a pity that he could only reach the second level of innate after practicing for more than 30 years.
Such a low cultivation level could not resist the magic of the monster.
This black light was the magic of the cat monster, the soul-bewitching technique.
This soul-bewitching technique, once it hits the opponent, can kill the enemy's soul, causing the enemy's soul to be damaged and become an idiot, or even kill him on the spot.
Zhang Zhixuan had no time to rescue Liu Hushan. Seeing that Liu Hushan was hit, he was ruthless and immediately sacrificed the magic sword in his sleeve.
A green light shot out from the roof and slashed directly at the cat monster in the courtyard.
The cat monster's front paw had been cut off by Zhang Zhixuan. It roared in fear and struggled to jump to the side, avoiding the first attack.
Before it could rejoice, it saw a foot-long magic sword draw a light arc.
The magic sword turned lightly and slashed at the cat demon at a faster speed.
Although this magic sword was only of the second-grade middle grade, the cat demon was of a lower grade. It was probably just a demon beast, and its grade was only the first-grade low grade.
Its flesh could not block the sharp bamboo sword, and was easily cut into two by Zhang Zhixuan.
Zhang Zhixuan killed the cat demon and immediately jumped off the roof. Then he used the magic sword to dig out the cat demon's eyes and washed them with clean water several times.
This pair of eyes is the most precious material on the cat demon, which can be used to refine the first-grade middle-grade elixir Mihunsan.
Zhang Zhixuan killed the cat demon, and Zhang Menggong and others gathered around the huge cat corpse and began to peel off the skin and pull out the tendons, searching for all the resources that could be used.
The materials on the demon beast are all good things for mortals.
Its flesh and blood contain spiritual energy. Even if it is a first-grade low-grade cat demon, its flesh and blood effect is slightly better than that of chalcedony rice.
The fur of the cat demon can be used to sew a piece of armor. Although this low-grade inner armor is no longer of much use to Zhang Zhixuan, it is still a good self-defense treasure in the hands of an innate cultivator.
The four sharp claws can also be made into several flying claws, which are all first-grade low-grade magic weapons, and can be sold for one or two spiritual stones in total.
Zhang Menggong and others collected the cat demon materials, then walked around the yard for a while, observed the situation, and said affirmatively: "It looks like an old cat has become a spirit. It was just the fifteenth day of the eighth month a few days ago, when the power of the moon was at its peak. This old cat probably turned into a demon beast on that day. After it turned into a demon beast, it killed its owner, tasted the benefits of eating human flesh, and then began to kill indiscriminately. Today, my nephew got rid of it."
