C145 metazoan (2/2)

Li Qiang sighed, ”He was rejected by Uncle Feng, so of course he felt bad. It's okay to drink more wine, but it's a big achievement for him to be able to prepare so many soldiers and horses. You can't just carelessly criticize him.”

She Ziyan said: ”Alright, I'll just listen to you. Although you look muddleheaded, but you are quick with your thoughts. Being able to deal with all these forces is also a great skill.”

Li Qiang forced out a smile and said, ”Isn't it because I want to save my brothers? Otherwise, I wouldn't want to lower myself to so many people. I really don't have the manliness.”

She Ziyan said: ”Men do not necessarily have to shout and fight. Using one's wisdom to achieve one's goal is also a type of skill, a type of bearing. In short, I really appreciate your way of doing things.”

Li Qiang said, ”You didn't mean to say anything good about me, right?”

She Ziyan said: ”Of course not, although I'm your bodyguard, but I'm not the kind of person who would bend over for five dumps of rice. I can say whatever I want, and no one can control me.”

Li Qiang nodded and said, ”That's right. When a person lives, he should have his own opinion. He cannot live in the shadow of others. That would be too boring.”

While the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard a noise in front of them. A soldier ran in to inform them that the huge monster had come in again.

Li Qiang looked at Wang Hua. At this moment, Wang Hua was sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake him up. After all, the matter with the monster had already troubled him, so waking him up would be useless.

However, She Ziyan was elated: ”I've long heard that there are monsters here. I'd like to see just how powerful this thing is. To think that it could actually cause everyone to sigh in helplessness.”

Li Qiang had no choice but to follow He Ziyan outside the tent. From afar, he saw a big black thing, about the size of three adult elephants, standing upright as it flew, looking similar to a black bear, but it had three horns on its head, a body of black fur, and silver barbs on its four limbs. As long as it waved its arms, it would send countless soldiers flying, causing a large number of screams.

He Ziyan frowned, ”Why is this thing so ugly?”

What Li Qiang was concerned about was this fellow's combat strength. It was simply too terrifying, he was invulnerable to swords and spears, and could not even be bombarded with big cannons. Moreover, he was unstoppable everywhere he went.

The soldiers were scared out of their wits. Although they had organized a counterattack, the effect was too little. It was as if the monster had entered an uninhabited area, and there was no way to stop it.

Li Qiang asked, ”This guy has repeatedly barged into the barracks. Why is he doing this?” The soldier shook his head and said, ”We don't know either. We just know that this guy is always heading towards a big pond in the western camp, swimming for a while before leaving.”

He Ziyan said, ”What time is it now? Do you still have the mood to ask this?”

Li Qiang said, ”It's the same to fight against animals if you know yourself and know your opponents well. Monsters always go to a place, so it naturally means that there's something there that they want. They might not really come to hurt people, maybe we're blocking their way.”

He Ziyan said: ”Then what do you think we should do?”

Li Qiang said, ”Pass down the order, let the army split a path, let the monsters pass, and let them smoothly reach the lake.”

The soldier said, ”The pool is where all of us use our water. What should we do if the monsters take it?”

Li Qiang said, ”Monster only stayed in the pool for an hour or so, but it's not always there. If there's anything, just listen to my orders and split up the army to let that monster pass.”
