"I heard a monster was running amok here, devouring countless people, so I came to lend you a hand!"
The Yellow Wind Sage bared his two prominent front teeth, set down his Steel Fork, and cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Feng.
Beside and behind him stood a striped tiger and more than five hundred shifty-eyed rat demons, all craning their necks and peering around. Each carried a repeating crossbow made of dragon bone and long, thick-shafted arrows with four feathers on their backs.
