That's a human-shaped... something like a piece of paper?
There was a little man painted with black paint on the piece of human-shaped paper. The painting technique could be called rough. Mo Xiao felt suspicious and took a second look secretly. But unfortunately, the little man on the paper just turned around.
Come here.
"No! It's a shikigami." Ye Xiaoying exclaimed in a low voice from beside her, "Damn it, we were discovered."
"What is a Shikigami?" Shu Mo asked in panic. He had only heard of this name before, but didn't know what its function was. Moreover, this was the first time he actually encountered it.
"It can't attack and has no power, but it is the eyes and ears used by the demon hunters for reconnaissance. Let's not panic." Ye Xiaoying quickly whispered, "There must be demon hunters coming towards us now. We have many targets."
It's big and can't be run away. Now it depends on whether the demon trainer's disguise works."
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, three demon hunters carrying crossbows and talismans came from three directions and surrounded them.
Patty and the cat demon girl's expressions were normal. They didn't dare to move the bell, and even held their breath. Shu Mo was so frightened that his whole body froze.
Now it depends on Mo Xiao's acting skills. He glanced around, not afraid at all, but frowned and said proactively: "I am a demon trainer, why don't you put away your weapons? Do you want to attack your friends?
Do you want to start?"
The expressions of the three monster hunters were not moved at all. One of them, a middle-aged monster hunter who looked a little older, stepped forward and said: "We did not notify the monster trainer to participate in our operation."
Mo Xiao's expression froze, and he was a little panicked at that time. He knew that once he showed his cowardice, the game would be over. He controlled his expression forcibly, and his mind was working rapidly, carefully looking for a way to break the situation.
He noticed that the demon hunter only aimed at them and did not take action immediately. If the other party was really sure that he was an impostor, the crossbow would have been confused by the crossbow. In this case, they should not be sure of Mo Xiao's identity.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiao calmed down a little and opened his mouth to make up nonsense: "I don't need your notification. I already knew about the big demon here. The anomaly in Luoyunjian was even on the news. Ordinary people's exploration teams are here."
, do we just memorize the information about the demon trainer? Can’t we come and join in the fun?”
Speaking of this, Mo Xiao's voice suddenly became louder: "This is a big demon. It would be a pity to be killed or sealed by you. Isn't it natural that I would be interested? Being able to subdue a big demon in this life is a big deal for us.
An incredible honor."
The middle-aged monster hunter frowned, his expression was a little unhappy, and then there was a hint of doubt. He tilted his head slightly and looked at one of the young monster hunters:
"Are ordinary people here? Xiaoyun, you love surfing the Internet, is this a thing?"
One of the young demon hunters immediately replied: "It's true. If it weren't for the magic circle activated by the elders to stop them, they would have broken in long ago."
Mo Xiao's brows jumped. He heard the three words "elders" keenly, but he didn't know how many "elders" this "elder" refers to...
"Do you mind if I take a drop of your blood for examination?"
Of course, Mo Xiao couldn't mind. The other two demon hunters hadn't put down their crossbows yet. I guess if he minded, they would shoot him in the face in a minute.
"Stretch out your hand."
The middle-aged demon hunter put away his crossbow and drew a shining silver dagger from his waist.
Mo Xiao heard the words and stretched out his right hand. The middle-aged demon catcher gave it a gentle stroke. Mo Xiao felt a pain in the palm of his hand, and blood poured out of his palm and dripped down his palm. The demon catcher glanced at it and took a few pieces with his fingers.
There was a drop of blood, and he put it to his mouth and sipped it carefully.
NND, you only need a few drops of blood to make such a big wound on me?!
"They are really human beings, not monsters in disguise... They are so energetic and so young. No wonder they caught two beautiful monsters? I heard that the snow girl... is not bad looking either." Zhonglian, the monster catcher, glanced at Mo Xiao and said,
Said lightly.
The corner of Mo Xiao's mouth twitched. He understood this guy's hidden meaning very well. In order to cooperate, he had no choice but to nod.
Patty silently held Mo Xiao's injured hand to help stop the bleeding. The obedient look and the verification just made allowed the monster hunter to temporarily dispel his suspicion. He raised his hand and made a simple gesture, and the other companions immediately put down their weapons.<
/p>
Mo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had passed the first level.
"I don't care what you demon trainers want to do, but you are not allowed to interfere with our affairs for your own purposes. If you catch the snow girl, you have to hand her over to us for a period of time. If you agree, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will let you go."
Please take your pets back to where they came from.”
The middle-aged monster hunter said unceremoniously, with a strong tone that left no room for rebuttal.
"A while? What are you going to do?" Mo Xiao blurted out.
"It has nothing to do with you. If you catch that cunning snow girl, it won't hurt to tell you when the time comes." The middle-aged monster hunter said impatiently.
"If you say that, I will be more motivated." Mo Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth.
The middle-aged monster hunter stopped paying attention to Mo Xiao and his party, turned around and waved his hand: "Call the team, continue patrolling, and inform our companions in areas C and D that they don't need to come over."
As he spoke, there was another rustling sound in the grass. It was conceivable that there were more monster hunters lurking in places where they could not see.
Empress Mo Xiao touched her chest in fear, and her back was almost wet with cold sweat. If she hadn't handled it well just now, or hadn't listened to the cat demon girl, then they would be shuddering just thinking about their situation now.
"They're all gone."
Shu Mo sat down on Mo Xiao's shoulder and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I'm not even sure if anyone is still watching us. Are you so sure? Be careful what you say." Ye Xiaoying reminded, her voice was almost inaudible.
"Nonsense! I told you that I am an expert in spirituality and soul, okay? When it comes to external perception, I dare say that no one here can compare to me."
Shu Mo said disdainfully that he finally showed his arrogance in his field of expertise. After saying that, he patted the bell: "You can breathe now, don't hold yourself back."
Mo Xiao lowered his head in surprise. He didn't even notice that Ling Dang was still holding her breath, and her face was red from holding it in. Fortunately, she could persevere.
According to the distance just now, holding your breath can't hide the fact that the bell is a living creature. It doesn't breathe, and its body temperature and heartbeat are always there. The monster hunter won't be able to feel it when he is face to face. If he doesn't take action, he just thinks it is a pet.
However, Shu Mo's words reassured everyone. After all, he would never dare to lie to save face on such a fatal matter. His strong sense is much more useful in this primitive forest where enemies are everywhere.
"Huh... Let's move on, everyone, be alert. Let's not think that this trick can be kept secret forever. Just avoid it when it's time to hide."
Mo Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his head, and the group stepped towards Xue Yue's hiding place again.
