The monster that abducted its teammates was very cautious. Perhaps it had suffered the loss of a search and rescue dog, which was extremely good at erasing odors.

The reason why I deliberately hide in the lake for hunting is not to leave any breath behind. Whether it is my own or the prey's, everything is completely eliminated.

It's a pity that the monster has seen very little of the world. Tai'ao limits its vision, causing it to not know that there is a type of people who track their prey by anything other than smell.

As long as it has existed and appeared, it will leave energy fluctuations wherever it passes. Through the traces of energy, high-level awakened people can completely locate its direction.

Just like now, Si Nuocheng put his hand into the lake, and his energy was transferred layer by layer, quickly locking in the subtle fluctuations. After a while, four large mirrors made of water rose from the lake, surrounding the three people.

Circle in the middle.

Lackey was stunned: "What is this?"

"Recalling the scene, at least we have to figure out what the other party is." Si Nuocheng said, "I rarely use this move. On the one hand, it consumes a lot of money, but on the other hand, if I want to make a killing move."

Ever since he developed the mirror image's retrospection and precognition abilities in Ningyuan's confinement room, Si Nuocheng had kept it at the bottom of the box and practiced it only a handful of times. Even though he had fought against Licasa, he had not used this technique.

After all, good steel must be used on the blade. Before he was sure whether the demons would exchange information through special channels, he would not let his opponent know too many of his trump cards.

If the monster hadn't caught his teammate and put him on the verge of death, and rescuing people like putting out a fire must be timely, Si Nuocheng wouldn't have used his ultimate move.

"With mirroring, we can see what's happening in between."

Mirror after mirror, it was like a door being opened. In the world in the mirror, the images of the three of them were slowly erased and gradually replaced with images from the past.

They saw Jiang Qining and Yu Mingyang talking, and suddenly the former pushed the latter away. A pair of white-haired hands stretched out from the lake, hugged Jiang Qining's head and neck, and dragged him down into the lake.

The scene froze and then reversed. They switched directly to Jiang Qining's field of vision and faced the pale face under the water...

"Old Jiang was very frightened." Si Nuocheng sensed. "He was overly frightened and his mood fluctuated greatly. It was easier for me to capture the vibrations of energy that remained in the air, stones and water."

People have aura and energy, and those who are awakened are even more so. Just like the magnetic field of the victim remains at the place where the murder occurred, there are also certain traces left by the lake.

"This face..." Lackey narrowed his eyes, "It looks like a fox, a white fox."

To be precise, the monster looked like a white fox, but more like a human-shaped fox species. It had a pointed face, narrow and scarlet vertical pupils, and a wide mouth that almost reached the cheekbones.

Its ears drooped down from the top of its head and have moved to the position of human ears. The neck is a human model, as are the shoulders. There are black threads floating on the back of the head, like hair. If the body was not covered with white hair, the appearance would be too cute.

Horrible, almost no different from human beings.

"Don't tell me this is a monster?" Lackey's mouth twitched.

Si Nuocheng was silent for a moment, and Leng Buding remembered a passage: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas says that it looks like a fox with nine tails, its voice is like a baby, and it can eat people."

The two looked at each other, and after a moment, they looked at Ji Si together.

"Look at what I do, there are gods, ghosts, demons, and of course demons." Ji Si said, "Because your ancestors experienced the same great purge, they tried their best to tell you the story, but humans didn't take it seriously.

It’s just a matter of fact.”

"Myths and legends are warning you not to look above your head, and remember that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky."

"The way of heaven and man is to warn you to maintain the balance of all things, remember to be kind to all living things, and there will always be cause and effect." He blinked, "I didn't expect that you would end up in the 'Great Purge' again."

Two people:……

"Let's go find the vixen." Ji Si sighed, "If we stay later, there will be no one left."

…

Asbys Wildlife Park was the first place where monsters were born when the mutation occurred half a year ago.

It is reported that an Arctic fox once attacked people in a violent rage, biting three keepers to death and eating all their organs. It then fled and cannibalized 47 people along the way until it was tracked by Australian police dogs.

After success, he was finally "bombed" in the outer suburbs.

But it turns out that human weapons not only failed to kill the white fox, but actually caused it to complete its second evolution. When it reappeared in front of humans, it was already a half-human, half-fox monster.

Suburban park, underground parking lot.

There were many scrapped vehicles piled up in the huge space, with rotting bones beneath them, and the bones were covered with strange plants and insects.

With the mutation for more than half a year, the traces of "people" in Ivan City are gradually being erased, and plants and animals are slowly taking over the territory. Scattered skeletons have small lavender flowers on them, half-rotted mutations.

Rats and centipedes emerged from the animal carcasses.

Vines are wrapped around the pillars and walls, clear water overflows from the cracked underground, and lizards and snakes occasionally appear. This is an underground space that is half decayed and half natural.

Jiang Qining and Yu Mingyang fell to the ground. Their consciousness was very clear, but their bodies could not move.

A fox-like creature that looked more human than human was hovering around them, circling around them with all its limbs fluttering, and making a "beep" sound from its mouth, which was very much like the cry of a child.

The monster's hands, feet, and torso are all very close to the human shape. If it walked upright, it would probably be about two meters tall. But it is still accustomed to the lifestyle of a beast, and likes to run around with its bare buttocks, and has two long tails dangling at its tail vertebrae.

.

Not long after, it stuck out its tongue, licked its nails, and then made a scratch on Yu Mingyang's back.

The bright red blood flowed out, and it lay on his back and sucked happily. This monster was not afraid of Yu Mingyang's power at all, and even the vitality contained in the opponent's blood made it so excited that the tip of its tail trembled.

This is so comfortable and energy that makes the blood boil all over my body!

"Old Yu..."

"Death, I can't die." Yu Mingyang exhaled more air than inhaled. "Its saliva is poisonous and has a strong anesthetic effect. Because it is afraid that I will not be able to overcome these poisons, it is afraid that I will untie it, so it will eat me first."

"Eh, eh!" The monster opened its bloody mouth and lifted Yu Mingyang up.

Then it knelt down beside him and leaned over, face to face with him.

In Jiang Qining's field of vision, the monster opened his hands and caressed Yu Mingyang's breath, and Yu Mingyang convulsed unconsciously, and wisps of white mist overflowed from his mouth and nose, bit by bit getting into the monster's mouth.

It's like a monster that sucks people's energy!

"Yu, Yu Mingyang!"

Jiang Qining mobilized all his strength to raise his head, concentrated all his strength into his throat, and was about to roar, when he saw a long-haired hand suddenly swinging over and hitting his face with a "snap".

He hit the ground, his nose bleeding profusely. There was blood flowing out of his right ear, and he could no longer hear any sound.

Grass!

He raised his hands to cover his face with great effort, and when he wiped it, it was covered with blood. There were five deep scars across his face from his ears, causing the flesh to turn and bleed.

It hurts like hell, but with more blood flow, the toxins in the body are eliminated faster.

"I, I have grown so big..." He stubbornly climbed up from the ground and faced the monster tremblingly, "No one has ever slapped me! Who the hell are you!"

Never mess with people who are usually good-tempered. Once they get angry, they really are not human beings.

Jiang Qining got the strength from nowhere and pounced on the monster. He grabbed its neck with one hand and punched it in the face with the other hand.

The monster grinned and let out a weird smile, wrapped its two tails around him and threw him out. It jumped up like a spider and then landed on the ground. It accurately pressed his hands with its claws and his feet with its hind limbs.

The two tails swung up and it made a squealing sound. The saliva from its mouth fell and moistened Jiang Qining's wound. Gradually, he lost some strength.

The next second, the big cross was swung directly on the monster's head. Yu Mingyang quickly turned the cross and strangled its neck, wrapped his hands and feet around the monster, and forcefully broke it over.

"Old ginger!"

Jiang Qining struggled to get up and ran to the pile of bones to pick up his saxophone.

But before the first note could be blown out, the monster roared up to the sky. The sound waves it aroused shook Yu Mingyang away, flying away the bones in the lair, and at the same time defeated the weak voice.

In an instant, it jumped to Jiang Qining's side, dropped its claws, and broke his hand bones.

"Click"!

"Ah——" It removed his jaw neatly.

It is very strong, overwhelmingly powerful, and has evolved to a point far beyond that of the Awakened. When they fight it, they feel vaguely like they are facing a demon directly.

The monster straightened up like a human, grabbed Jiang Qining's legs and dragged him away, putting him and Yu Mingyang together. It leaned down and circled around them again, wondering what it was thinking about.

Suddenly, it stopped moving.

The ferocious fox-face looked back, and saw a tall man holding a sword standing at the entrance of the lair. He was wearing a large wave and a dark blue robe, and he was looking at it with condensed eyebrows and an extremely ugly face.

He is Zhuo Wuya, the first person here to find the monster.

"You were the one who attacked Ah Xiu, you evil beast!" Zhuo Wuya's eyes turned red and he was extremely violent, "I have been chasing you for three days and three nights, and today is the day you die!"

He and Shao Xiu were collecting medicinal herbs in the forest. Unexpectedly, he was just making medicine. Energy fluctuations suddenly broke out in Shao Xiu not far away. If he hadn't reacted quickly and took action early, Shao Xiu would have been seriously injured.

This fox has become a spirit, and is naturally addicted to the flesh and blood of the awakened ones. It seems that it regards them as prey on the territory, and is planning to start with the "weak" ones and eat the strongest ones one by one.

But what it didn't expect was that Zhuo Wuya was a Taoist priest.

Slaying demons and eliminating demons is the Taoist palace's own inheritance. Even though a lot of it has been lost over time, the remaining techniques are enough for monsters to drink a pot.

That was the first time it suffered a defeat and temporarily retreated under the attack of "unfamiliar feed". After that, it treated this group of awakened people more and more cautiously. It didn't attack the other two until it digested Shao Xiu's blood.

New and old hatreds accumulated, Zhuo Wuya raised his sword and stabbed at it.

Worrying that his two unlucky teammates were still lying on the ground, he tried his best to lure the monster out, but it wisely did not go out.

"Bang!" Zhuo Wuya took out the red rope from his waist with his left hand and threw it towards the monster.

It nimbly avoided the rope, but little did it know that one end of the rope quickly penetrated the ground, walls and stone pillars, controlling it in a ready-made formation.

Zhuo Wuya made a seal with his hands, and saw the forty-nine copper plates on the red rope trembling rapidly. They made a crisp impact sound, and invisible ripples spread, sealing the monster inside.

Soon, Zhuo Wuya turned back, lifted Jiang Qining with one hand, and Yu Mingyang with the other, and disappeared outside the lair.
To be continued...
