The light of the light yellow street lamps and lighthouses makes the city seem to be covered with a layer of noble and elegant gauze, highlighting the magnificence and variety of the entire body... Central City West Street belongs to the residential area of Central City, although it is a street
, but this street is very long, and there are as many households on both sides as trees.
At night, this neighborhood looks a bit deserted and desolate. It feels like walking into a town surrounded by mountains and wild fields. When flying in the air, you can even feel the faintest hint of night fog.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Hehe, don't let me catch you..." Dongqing smiled coldly and drove Ya Yuqin to slowly sink a little.
Chu Mu and Dongqing rode the feathered bird together. Although the Night Thunder Dream Beast could fly in the air at night, it still couldn't fly freely in the air like the wing-based soul pet.
"The captain is here..."
"team leader!"
"team leader!"
...In the alley, several soul pet masters riding mounts formed a circle and blocked the entire residential alley at the same time, preventing others from approaching.
Chu Mu and Dongqing had jumped off Ya Yuqin's back and landed steadily in front of the five city guards.
Dongqing strode to the spot where the stained blood was, staring at the corpses that had been chewed to pieces, her face became a little more solemn.
Chu Mu also glanced at these corpses, and his eyes changed slightly.
In front of Chu Mu were two human corpses and three soul pet corpses. Since the soul pet corpses had been chewed up to the point where there were not even a few bones left, it was difficult to tell what happened based on the few remaining limbs alone.
What kind of soul pet is it?
The two people were simply killed, one was disemboweled, and the other had half of his head cut off. There were no signs of blood on other parts of the body. It was obvious that the murderer was not very interested in human flesh.
"Captain, the sixth one is up. The news has been blocked, but it is difficult to control the mouths of the surrounding residents. There have been some small disturbances spreading in some places, making them panic." A young guard said.
said.
"Do you think it's man-made or some wild soul pets with weird movements have sneaked into the city and are doing evil in the city?" Dongqing asked.
The city is surrounded by very high walls. The possibility of wild soul pets entering the city is not high, but there are several situations.
For example, some hidden soul pets with high intelligence may escape the guards of the city and enter the city. They usually stay dormant in places where few people go, but come out late at night to attack some soul pet masters and soul pets.
There are also some families or forces whose captive soul pets have escaped due to negligence. This possibility is relatively high. The escaped soul pets cannot leave the city, so they hide in certain places and attack people and soul pets late at night.
Food... "Their space rings are all still there. If it was man-made, the space rings would usually be taken away. It is also possible that that person does not despise the property of these soul pet masters at all, and uses other people's soul pets to feed his own soul pet.
." A guard analyzed.
"Are there no other clues?"
"No, the murderer is very cunning."
"Then let's all stay up late tonight and patrol. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"yes!"
..."Brother Chu Chen, it seems that this area is not very safe. If your two friends don't have the ability to protect themselves, I suggest they not stay here for a long time. Alas, you have come so far away from the city to see such bad things.
On the one hand, it's really..." Dongqing was quite polite to Chu Mu.
"My two friends are both stronger than me. Self-protection is not a problem. I should be here recently. If there are any clues, I will let you know." Chu Mu said.
"This is best. If you have any clues, just go to a city guard and ask him to inform me. I will rush over immediately." Dongqing said.
Chu Mu nodded and did not stay here any longer. Following the direction pointed by Dongqing, he walked towards the elixir shop where the Ye family brothers and sisters were.
The elixir shop that Ye Qingzi rented was not in the most prosperous location, which made Chu Mu wonder why she chose this area. After all, this was a residential area, and the business was not very developed... The murder was far away from Ye Qing
The elixir shop that Zi rented was not far away, so Chu Mu did not waste his soul power to summon the Night Thunder Dream Beast, but walked on this somewhat deserted street.
The route Chu Mu took was a shortcut, not the main street of West Street. Perhaps the terrible things had spread recently. Some of the more remote alleys and side streets were closed, and few pedestrians could be seen at all.
"Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~"
Two unusual gusts of wind passed quickly across the alley behind Chu Mu. Chu Mu's perception was very keen, and he turned his head almost as soon as the wind blew up.
The black figure flew away, and Chu Mu released his soul thought and locked onto the two black figures that flashed by quickly.
Just when Chu Mu's soul thought was about to completely control the movement of these two creatures, these two things suddenly jumped out of the range of Chu Mu's soul thought and fled far away.
Chu Mu's heart sank. These two creatures clearly wanted to get close to him just now, but immediately jumped out of his perception range after feeling that his soul was locked. This is not a coincidence. It only shows that these two creatures have very special abilities.
Strong perception ability, able to detect other people's locks.
Realizing that these two things were not good things, Chu Mu slowly recited a spell and summoned his beloved Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of him.
“Eh~~~~~~”
The night thunder dream beast's perception ability at night was stronger than Chu Mu's. After its demon spirit perception was released, its black eyes penetrated the darkness and locked onto a deep alley next to Chu Mu.
“Eh~~~~~~~~~~”
The Night Thunder Dream Beast did not wait for Chu Mu to issue an order, but directly let out a long hiss, brewing a black death light in its mouth, and sprayed it directly towards the long alley!
The black energy body passed straight through the alley, and when it reached halfway, it suddenly exploded in the air!!
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~"
The death light blasted away, and the walls of the houses on both sides immediately showed signs of shattering, and a powerful air flow swept out along the alley!
Chu Mu didn't notice anything strange in the alley just now. When the energy exploded, he suddenly discovered that a creature hidden in the shadows was blown away.
"Nocturnal creatures can become invisible and hide their aura at night. Young master, you must be careful." Mr. Li said.
Chu Mu also felt nervous. He didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying creature in the city!
Invisibility at night is one of the weirdest abilities among soul pets. Most soul pets with this ability are very terrifying and can kill unsuspecting people and soul pets without anyone noticing.
"Hiss~~~~~~~~~~~"
A low cry came from the invisible creature in the alley. It seemed that it realized that it had been seen through. After getting up from the ground, it pressed directly against the wall of the alley, as if it had merged into the wall, and disappeared directly.
In Chu Mu's field of vision.
Soon after, some subtle sounds appeared in the alley. When Chu Mu looked around, he found that it was the residents near the alley who noticed something strange and made uneasy moves when they were frightened.
"Noisy...why are you making such a noise...you still haven't rested at night...could it be...could it be..." At this time, a middle-aged man staggered towards the end of the alley.
The middle-aged man's face was red with wine, and he was holding a bag of wine in his hand. He was cursing and pouring the wine down his throat.
Staggering step by step, the drunkard was so drunk that he finally leaned against the wall and fell asleep directly.
"Get out of there!" Chu Mu shouted loudly, reminding the drunkard who was not aware of the danger at all.
However, as soon as Chu Mu finished speaking, a shadow of a claw slowly appeared in the wall of the alley, and very slowly passed over the drunkard's head.
“Shua!!!!!!”
Brains and blood splattered out and stuck to the wall disgustingly!
The drunkard's head was cut off while he was still drunk. After a few twitches, he completely lost his life.
Chu Mu's heart sank. The claw was obviously very slow just now, but Chu Mu couldn't see clearly what the soul pet was. If he hadn't locked his soul there, he wouldn't even be able to see how the drunkard died.
.
"Old Li, what on earth is that?" Chu Mu's face turned serious. For some reason, Chu Mu felt that there were many strange smells in the alleys and small streets that extended in all directions, and there were also many chilling eyes staring at him.
"I don't know either. I suggest you, Master, leave here quickly. Those things are probably gathering in this area." Old Li said.
Chu Mu nodded, jumped on the back of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and let the Night Thunder Dream Beast directly use its extreme shadow to run towards another side street.
There was a very strong smell in the direction of the street leading to Ye Qingzi's elixir shop. Chu Mu realized that he couldn't go there, so he had no choice but to choose another path, which was going in the opposite direction. He asked the strange evil thing to go first... "Eh?
~~~~~~~”
The Night Thunder Dream Beast suddenly accelerated and ran in a direction where there was no dangerous gaze.
After turning a corner, Chu Mu saw an even emptier night street. The pale moonlight fell on the bluestone path, making it seem a bit quiet and empty... However, the black shadows that moved from time to time made the city even more empty.
It adds a bit of a spooky and spooky feeling!
"Hiss~~~~~~"
Sounds like poisonous snakes sticking out their tongues came from both sides. When Chu Mu walked through this path, he suddenly found more and more black shadows moving around the surrounding houses, walls, and shops. These things were following the night like shadows.
Behind the Thunder Dream Beast, the sharp and terrifying claws shone coldly in the moonlight!
"We're being targeted!"
Chu Mu's heart sank. He never thought that he would become the target of the evil creatures from the city so quickly!
