I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

Its daybreak.

After Wang Liu and Master Jingming integrated the team, they continued to move forward.

As for the dead, they were all buried on the spot.

At this time, there were only about twenty people left in the demon-slaying team.

It is a heavy loss.

Everyone has injuries to some extent.

They are sentimental.

But more so than anger.

The next purpose is not only to kill the demon, but also to avenge the dead.

Now there are only four monsters left.

As long as they are killed, the mission of this trip will be completed.

As we go deeper and deeper into the misty forest.

The smoke is getting thicker and thicker,

Even during the day, the visibility is only about ten meters.

Because we need to be on guard against sneak attacks by monsters,

Plus there were a lot of wounded.

So the speed of travel is much slower.

noon.

According to some traces left by the monster's hasty escape last night, everyone came to an open place.

That's right.

In this misty forest filled with smoke, there is actually an open space of thousands of square meters.

Central location.

There are ten huge stone pillars standing there.

form a circle with each other.

The stone pillars are carved with evil spirits with ferocious faces. Their sharp edges are sharp, as if they are about to break out of the pillars, giving people a creepy feeling.

On each stone pillar, there is a person tied.

Alai.

Qinghe.

There are also people who were arrested together before.

Their eyes were closed and their heads were drooping.

I don't know if I'm dead or alive.

"Qinghe!"

When Master Huiyin saw his apprentice, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed forward, regardless of whether there were any traps around him.

Qinghe is her apprentice.

Better than her daughter.

"Everyone, be careful and be vigilant to prevent sneak attacks by monsters."

Master Jingming whispered.

Then he also walked towards the stone pillar.

They untied the ropes from Alai, Qinghe and others.

Master Huiyin called Qinghe's name softly, but Qinghe didn't respond at all.

Fortunately, there is still body temperature and a beating pulse.

"They must have been under some kind of drug and that's why they didn't wake up."

Master Jingming checked the pulses of Alai, Qinghe and others, and found that their heartbeats were normal.

There were no signs of poisoning.

then.

Master Jingming took out another small porcelain bottle from his arms.

Pour out ten pills.

Give Qinghe, Alai and others one pill each.

The first one to wake up was Qinghe.

"Master!"

Maybe because she just woke up, Qinghe was still a little confused, "Master, where is this?"

"This is in the misty forest. You were captured by a monster. Master came to save you."

Master Huiyin asked, "Qinghe, how do you feel?"

Qinghe was a little stunned and replied: "Master, I'm fine."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Master Huiyin hugged Qinghe tightly.

Alai and others also woke up one after another.

Alai was confused for a while, and then he saw Master Jingming next to him.

"Master, it's you!"

Master Jingming nodded slightly and asked, "My child, are you okay?"

Alai shook his head and said he was fine.

"Why are there these stone pillars here? And each one has a different evil spirit carved on it."

Wang Liu and others were looking at the stone pillars nearby.

Because these stone pillars are too weird.

Who could do this in the misty forest?

What is the purpose.

"Master Jingming, you are well-informed. What are these stone pillars used for?"

Wang Liu looked at Master Jingming beside him and asked.

Master Jingming raised his head, looked at the stone pillar, and then frowned.

The evil carvings on it were somewhat familiar to him.

Just as he was about to speak.

Sudden.

"Pfft" sound.

He only felt his body tremble.

He turned his head.

He saw a dagger stuck in his waist.

Only the handle remains.

"Captain Wang?"

Master Jingming looked at Wang Liu standing next to him, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

"Wang Captou, what are you doing?"

Everyone was shocked.

Wang Liu suddenly pulled out the dagger and quickly retreated to a corner.

"Master Jingming."

Xu Lang was closest to Master Jingming and quickly stepped forward to support the shaking Master Jingming.

Alai on the side was stunned, holding Master Jingming's hand and crying continuously.

"It's okay, kid. It's just a minor injury."

Master Jingming comforted him.

The blood dyed the white robe of Master Jingming red.

Xu Lang quickly took out gauze and prepared to bandage his wound, but he found...

Master Jingming nodded to him.

Xu Lang continued to bandage his wounds...

"Headhunter, why? Why do you want to hurt Master Jingming?"

The most puzzled person was Tan Ming, who asked loudly.

"Captain Wang, you have to give us an explanation for this matter."

Hu Buzi holds a silver abacus. As long as Wang Liu's answer dissatisfies him, he will take action immediately.

Just now.

"Roar--!"

A tiger roar sounded not far away.

Followed by.

Four huge figures slowly walked out.

It was the four monsters that escaped last night.

gorilla.

Tiger monster.

Bull demon.

Leopard.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

If the scene just now had not occurred, the appearance of these four monsters was exactly what they hoped for.

But now Wang Liu has betrayed everyone for some unknown reason.

In addition, Master Jingming was injured again.

The combat effectiveness of their demon-slaying team has been greatly reduced.

It will be very difficult to deal with these four extremely powerful monsters next.

Especially the gorilla.

Even Master Jingming, a master of the third realm of Buddhism, cannot take it down in a short period of time.

Not to mention everyone else.

"Want to know why?"

Wang Liu suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you, you are going to die anyway."

he said.

Suddenly he used a knife to cut from his forehead to the bridge of his nose.

"What is he going to do?"

Wang Liu's self-mutilation operation shocked everyone.

Skin cuts open.

There was a faint trace of blood flowing out.

But not much.

then.

Wang Liu grabbed both sides of the knife edge with both hands and pulled it out hard, revealing a devilish face with gaping fangs.

Everyone's pupils suddenly shrank.

That face.

very familiar.

Isn’t it the image of the evil ghost carved on the stone pillar?

Wang Liu pulled his own skin and continued to tear it on both sides, until the last piece of human skin fell to the ground.

And it.

The whole body is revealed.

Evil face.

tall.

Long arms and legs.

A hard-boiled egg with its shell peeled all over.

It has a human form, but it is not human.

"What the hell is this Wang Liu?"

Chi Xue opened his mouth with extremely shocked eyes.

"He is not Wang Liu, nor is he a ghost, but a painted-skin demon."

At this time, Master Jingming slowly stepped forward and said, "The real Wang Liu has been killed by him a long time ago. The Painted Skin Demon will peel out the skin of the person he killed and wear it on his own body to replace that person's identity.

Moreover, they are also very good at hiding their own demonic aura. Even if they are cultivators who have opened their heavenly eyes, it is difficult for them to see through their true form and identify their demonic aura. "

"I see."

Xu Lang on the side understood.

No wonder he didn't see the evil spirit on Wang Liu when he opened his eyes.

"Old monk, it seems you know a lot."

The Painted Skin Demon sneered.

"I only read about the Painted Skin Demon in ancient books, but I never thought that I could see such a magical monster."

Master Jingming asked, "It's just that I still don't know something."

The Painted Skin Demon said: "You ask, I will let you die clearly."
