Chapter 15 Saving the Monster
The sun was shining brightly, the wind was howling, and a big white cat jumped down from the cliff...
On its neck, two red hairbands fluttered in the wind. Jiang Yuan grabbed the long hair on its neck tightly and shouted, "Help!"
When it landed on all fours on a vast expanse of grass, Jiang Yuan lay on the big cat's neck, feeling as if half of his soul had left him. After a long while, he said groggily, "Big cat, go slower next time... I... ugh!"
As she spoke, she felt a surge of nausea that made her pause for a while, but the feeling came and went quickly, so she continued, "I feel a little cat-sick."
"Meow." Big Cat lowered his head and called out with a little frustration.
Jiang Yuan raised his hand helplessly and touched its head, saying, "Forget it, I'll just try to adapt!"
Hearing this, Big Cat looked up and couldn't help but meow again, but unlike the frustration just now, this time there was a hint of excitement in the voice.
She sat on the big cat's back, took out a roll of yellow animal skin from her sleeve, unfolded it, and then said to the big cat: "We just came down from Jinyang Mountain. If we follow the map markings, we should go right now and go to Rabbit Village..."
As she spoke, she rolled up the yellow animal skin again and added, "I heard from Sister Guiyuan that Rabbit Village is mainly inhabited by the Rabbit Tribe. She has a friend in the village. If you see her, please say hello to her for her."
After determining where to go next, Big Cat turned to the right and jumped away.
Jiang Yuan sat on the big cat's back and carefully counted the various things the villagers had given her when she said goodbye in the morning.
She took off a string of garlic from her neck and found peppercorns in a dark green bag. The other bags contained some rice and vegetables.
When she opened a box, a familiar fragrance wafted to her face. Jiang Yuan looked closely and saw two neatly arranged green bamboo shoots.
This should be a gift from Aunt Qi.
Another box contained several hundred shell coins. I don't know whether it was given by Guiyuan or the village chief...
Then, her eyes noticed a red bag. After opening it, she found a crimson jade pendant inside.
Jiang Yuan held it in her hand, and in an instant, she felt warm all over. After knowing its effect, she put it away carefully.
Look at this color...
Thinking about this, she moved closer to the jade pendant and smelled it, then she understood and said, "It was indeed given by Elder Jinchun."
After opening all the bags and boxes that could be opened, she looked at the things that had been counted out and found that there were too many kinds of seasonings and demon rice. She couldn't help but wonder, "I don't know why the villagers gave me so many seasonings."
Just as Jiang Yuan was lost in thought, thinking about various possibilities, Big Cat suddenly stopped in front of a few trees...
"Big Cat, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yuan wanted to stick her head out to see what was going on, but her view was completely blocked by the big cat, so she asked while stroking the back of its neck.
The big cat meowed twice in an urgent tone and then lay down.
Jiang Yuan naturally understood what it wanted to express, so he slid down from it, and after standing still, he walked around to its front and followed its line of sight, just in time to see a dark shadow lying on the side of the road.
Jiang Yuan took two steps forward cautiously. When she saw the not-so-obvious bloodstains on the grass, her heart was alarmed. She didn't turn around, but just grabbed the fur on the cat's paw and pulled it gently. When she noticed that it lowered its head and looked at her, she said, "How about we leave here!"
As she spoke, she wanted to turn around and leave.
The big cat did not move. It looked at the black shadow lying on the ground, then looked at Jiang Yuan, and then its eyes became fierce and it walked towards the black shadow.
Jiang Yuan couldn't stop him in time, so she had to hurry up and follow him. She said, "Big Cat, you can't do this. The monster world is different from our world. What if it's bad..."
But before she could finish her words, when she turned around, she saw the dark figure lying on the ground and couldn't help but stop.
The black shadow had a pair of long drooping ears, wore a bamboo hat on his head, and wore a gray-brown robe. There was a knife at his side. The word "hero" was engraved in strange characters on the scabbard, which was particularly clear and obvious.
Bleeding was coming out of his abdomen, and even though he covered the wound with his claws, it didn't stop the bleeding.
At this moment, he seemed to have lost consciousness and was completely unprepared for the approach of Jiang Yuan and Da Miao.
Jiang Yuan frowned, his expression full of hesitation, then walked to his side, looked at his wound that was bleeding profusely, and finally came to a conclusion -
If left alone, he would surely be beheaded due to excessive blood loss.
But if she saved him, what if the monster turned against her?
Thinking of this, she began to look around, and finally fixed her eyes on a pile of vines not far away.
She said to Big Cat, "I don't know why you want me to save this trouble, but if you really want me to save him, go get ten of those vines!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan pointed to the right side of where they were, where a few dark vines were swaying in the wind...
Seeing this, Big Cat glanced at the vines with disdain, but still jumped up and went over happily. After biting and pulling them around, he took back ten vines according to Jiang Yuan's request.
The vine was still stained with Big Cat's saliva. Jiang Yuan frowned, twisted it with two fingers, and shook it gently. Then he picked up the vine and walked towards the unconscious monster...
After Rabbit Hero regained consciousness, he opened his eyes. He wanted to get up, but found that he was completely unable to move. He thought that this was because he was seriously injured, so he closed his eyes and prepared to circulate his demonic power to regulate his breathing.
But the next second, he realized something was wrong. He opened his eyes suddenly and found that he was not only tied up, but there was also a pile of firewood not far away.
It was already late at night, but he could clearly see a huge cat sitting by the fire and a person he had never seen before...
He couldn't recognize what it was. He said it was a demon, but he couldn't see any demonic power in her.
Could it be a monster?
But at this moment he had no time to think about it, he just felt that he was tied up from head to toe with the black rope grass.
Because there were too many black rope grasses on his body, and his demonic power had not fully recovered, he was powerless even if he wanted to break free.
How much hatred and resentment must the demon who tied him up have!
Rabbit Hero was looking at the "goblin", the cat, and the fire not far away. For some reason, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Could this fire have been lit to roast his meat?
