Global Erosion: Non-Human Claims to Be My Mr.

"My son, haven't I told you everything?"

"There are many poisonous insects and wild beasts in the deep mountains. What's the matter? You little guys can't listen to what I, an old woman, say."

The sinister words coming out of the darkness were filled with an indescribable coldness. Like a poisonous snake with cold fangs bared, it snaked up along the spines of the three people and wrapped around their fragile necks.

Qin Mo felt a chill and looked in the direction of the voice.

In the corner of the house, an old woman with a hunched back was standing there for some reason.

The old woman squinted her eyes slightly, her figure was half bright and half dark, with half of her body hidden in the shadows.

Tao Jiang reacted quickly and protected Jiao Yan behind him, looking warily at the mysterious old woman who called herself an old woman.

Then, Tao Jiang turned his gaze to Qin Mo standing beside him and asked silently.

He could tell from the old woman's words that Qin Mo had dealt with the other party before.

Qin Mo silently felt a sense of oppression, as if if he said something wrong, he would see his head falling to the ground in the next second.

Qin Mo's eyes flashed, and a scattered ray of light passed quietly across the coffin beside the old woman, and he said:

"We came out to look for Zhao Jun. It was wrong of us to barge in without saying hello."

Qin Mo's eyes were filled with sincere apology, and his tone was exceptionally gentle.

After saying that, Qin Mo glanced at the old woman, trying to see her expression clearly.

Darkness is the best cover-up, and the old woman's face is dim and unclear.

After a subtle pause, Qin Mo continued as if nothing had happened:

"The village chief said that Zhaojun is missing."

"There is a misunderstanding that we are related to Zhao Jun's disappearance. We are given three days to find Zhao Jun."

"Everyone is looking for Zhaojun everywhere now. Have you seen Zhaojun?"

With every word Qin Mo spoke, the oppressive atmosphere around him became thinner.

The huge rock weighing on his heart was removed, and Qin Mo felt that his breathing became much smoother.

After hearing Qin Mo's last words, the old woman finally had another reaction.

The old woman slowly raised her head in the darkness and said slowly:

"Zhao Jun, he is not with me. You should look for him somewhere else."

After saying this, the old woman forcefully sent the guest away in a manner that refused to let anyone go.

Qin Mo's eyes moved, and he opened his lips, wanting to say something.

In the silence, before he spoke, the old woman suddenly turned her head to look outside, and whispered to herself in a tone similar to an exclamation:

"The sun has set, and things in the forest are becoming restless again."

"I, an old woman, will not let anyone stay overnight here. You'd better go down the mountain quickly."

As soon as the old woman's words of urging came out, Qin Mo felt that the other person's hunched back in his eyes became more serious.

When Tao Jiang heard this, he didn't take it seriously. His first thought was that the old woman was lying to them.

The sun was still overhead when they climbed the mountain. How could it be possible for the sun to set in such a short time?

Before the questioning thought disappeared, Tao Jiang suddenly heard Qin Mo, who was a few steps away from him, say "yes".

Tao Jiang's pupils relaxed slightly, and he silently sent a changing look to Qin Mo.

No, brother, do you really believe it?

Qin Mo noticed Tao Jiang's gaze, turned slightly sideways and said to Tao Jiang seriously:

"It's really hard to find people at night. Let's go back and see if anyone else has found any other clues."

Tao Jiang pursed his lips and suddenly felt a slight force on his arm.

The next moment, Tao Jiang quickly stuffed the words out of his throat into his stomach.

Qin Mo swept his eyes around and silently took in the white spot on Tao Jiang's arm.

Crunch!

The wooden door of the thatched hut was closed.

Qin Mo felt a sense of surviving a disaster.

The next moment, Qin Mo quickened his pace and took the lead to follow the path he came from.

After a while, Tao Jiang looked back and saw that the endless darkness behind him had already swallowed up the thatched hut.

Tao Jiang straightened his head and secretly glanced at his wife, then looked at Qin Mo. His hesitant expression immediately caught the attention of both of them.

Jiao Yan raised her eyes, glanced at Tao Jiang with amusement and said:

"Just ask if you want to ask."

When Tao Jiang heard this, his eyes lit up and he spoke out immediately. The doubts and curiosity in his heart had already tortured him to the point of utter misery.

"I remember we had just climbed the mountain, but it got dark so quickly."

As Tao Jiang spoke, he did not forget to glance at the sky which was getting darker and darker. The ink-like night scene really left him confused.

Jiaoyan raised his chin slightly, indicating Tao Jiang to ask Qin Mo.

Facing Tao Jiang's questioning look, Qin Mo did not keep him in suspense and said bluntly:

"This is their home turf, and changing the time and weather is easy for them."

After listening to this, Tao Jiang thought about it again, slapped his head suddenly, and said with emotion:

"Oh, how could I have forgotten that."

Then, Tao Jiang lowered his head and murmured:

"But I always feel like there's something strange, maybe there's something I've overlooked."

Qin Mo's eyes flickered when he heard this.

When Tao Jiang raised his head again, he saw Jiao Yan and Qin Mo staring at him with a smile on their faces.

Tao Jiang: “???”.

Jiao Yan finished laughing, then moved his head slightly to indicate the direction of the thatched cottage and asked:

"go back?".

Qin Mo nodded. This was something he had planned long ago, but...

After a moment of silence, Qin Mo suddenly changed his mind and said:

"Let's go down the mountain first. The things guarding there are not easy to deal with. We need to prepare."

Upon hearing this, Jiao Yan raised the corners of her delicate eyes slightly, and revealed Qin Mo's thoughts with just one word.

"What are you preparing for? Are you preparing to abandon us?"

"We'll go down together, and then you can come up by yourself."

Even though his little thoughts were revealed, the smile on Qin Mo's face remained as steady as ever.

"no".

Qin Mo denied it without changing his expression.

After a moment of stalemate, Jiao Yan's smile deepened, and he said faintly:

"It seems that I misunderstood."

"In that case, why don't we go back and take a look now instead of waiting for the right day?"

Qin Mo heard the voice, said nothing, and smiled silently, but the smile on the corners of his mouth seemed a little forced.

Tao Jiang didn't think much about it and nodded immediately.

Then, he echoed:

"That's great, there's strength in numbers."

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Qin Mo said no more.

The three of them walked around and returned to the thatched hut.

"Just barge in?"

Looking at the closed thatched house with a hazy outline not far away, Tao Jiang asked in a low voice.

Before Tao Jiang finished speaking, Jiao Yan suddenly said:

"Well... have you ever heard a saying?".

"Um?".

Tao Jiang looked at Jiao Yan in confusion as he suddenly stood up.

Jiao Yan stared at the place not far away with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and leisurely answered the question:

"Close the door and let the dog out, haven't you heard of that?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo quickly stood up, and his sharp eyes immediately swept across the darkness around him.

Qin Mo: “…”

Could you be more straightforward next time?

To put it bluntly, here comes the dog.

As Jiao Yan gave a reminder, the darkness around the three people began to turn from light to dark.

Then, one after another, huge guard dogs walked out of the darkness with graceful steps and quickly surrounded the three people in a circle.

In the blink of an eye, the three people were surrounded by guard dogs with red eyes, greedy eyes, and drooling fishy saliva.

Tao Jiang met the watchdog's red eyes, swallowed silently, and stood up slowly and quietly.

At this moment, Tao Jiang suddenly felt that he might have a problem that he didn't even know about, that is, he was afraid of dogs.

The watchdog stared at Qin Mo and the other two with his red eyes, as if he wanted to eat them up all the time.

Tao Jiang pursed his lips and thought to himself when he saw this.

The meat of the three of them might not be enough to fill the teeth of these watchdogs.

Qin Mo and the other two stood back to back, and every piece of land that their eyes touched was occupied by the watchdog.

Suddenly, Tao Jiang gently supported Qin Mo's arm with his elbow and whispered:

"Brother Xu Mo, you are right, we need to prepare."

Qin Mo glanced around the field and responded:

"Ok".

Hiss!

The sound of the watchdog licking its saliva suddenly spread in the silent darkness, like the flapping wings of a butterfly causing a storm.

Suddenly, the guard dog closest to the three people jumped up, and its target was Jiaoyan, the girl among the three.

Jiaoyan's eyes darkened, and the weak aura that had always been in her body was instantly retracted, replaced by a vague sense of danger.

Bang!

The watchdog that launched the vanguard attack was right in the angle of vision between Qin Mo and Jiao Yan.

Qin Mo was about to open his mouth to remind him when he saw out of the corner of his eye that the watchdog, whose body was stretched out like a crescent moon, suddenly separated its head and body and fell to the ground from the air.

During this time, Qin Mo didn't catch anything Jiao Yan did.

The first charge failed, and the watchdog pack fell silent again.

If these watchdogs were not right in front of Qin Mo, Qin Mo would not believe that there was such a group of aggressive creatures in front of him.

Perhaps there were too many watchdogs surrounding the three of them, so the scene became quiet for a while.

The second wave of watchdog charge is ready to go.

The only difference is that this time the targets chosen by the watchdog have changed, and the number has also changed.

There were two on Tao Jiang's side, and Qin Mo was facing three.

So far, they are still the vanguards of the watchdog group, sent by the watchdog group to test the strength of the three people.

Jiaoyan is such a tough guy that no guard dog would want to cause trouble for the time being.

Seeing this, I have to say that deterrence is a good thing.

Qin Mo's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he raised his arm, and a barely noticeable bit of green fell into the group of guard dogs.

Wow!

The guard dogs suddenly became agitated, and the green vines of dodder fell from the sky like scattered fireworks.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

From time to time, the guard dogs were entangled by the dodder vines, and muffled groans came out of their throats one after another.

The three guard dogs that pounced on Qin Mo were instantly caught in the air by the dodder vines, and then pulled back to the guard dog group with a swish.

The group of guard dogs suddenly became chaotic. Qin Mo soon noticed that Dodder only tied up the guard dogs with vines and did not take their lives.

Qin Mo took out his sword and quietly mixed into the chaotic group of guard dogs, and made a stealth move.

The dodder vines tied up the guard dogs and continued to use them as hammers, smashing them one after another.

Tao Jiang, who used the same attack method, had just knocked away the two guard dogs that were attacking him when he noticed the commotion Qin Mo had caused.

Good guy!

Tao Jiang was stunned as he looked at the group of guard dogs barking and howling.

Jiao Yan glanced at where Qin Mo was, her face calm, as if she was not surprised at all.

Jiaoyan strolled leisurely through the chaos, dodging the vines of dodder while deftly harvesting the heads of guard dog dogs.

Tao Jiang, whose attack method was not agile and nimble, gradually became a marginal figure on the battlefield, like an assassin who was good at sneak attacks, avoiding head-on confrontations and striking hard from every corner.
