Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

These people's bodies have undergone such strange changes, presenting such a creepy appearance. There is no doubt that there must be something behind them.

And the thing he relied on was most likely a mutant or protozoan that had long existed in the depths of the forest. This time, Liu Tianci ventured into this place just for this mysterious guy.

However, a tricky situation arose. The person who was originally kept alive by Liu Tianci as a source of important intelligence unexpectedly changed, and this change directly led to the abrupt end of the key clues.

Liu Tianci couldn't help but regret secretly: "If I had known this would happen, I should have kept one more person alive as a backup..." Although he said this, he actually didn't feel too much regret. After all, it was futile to regret it.

After some observation and contact, Liu Tianci discovered that there seemed to be a deep emotional bond between these people and the monster, similar to religious belief.

Faced with this situation, it was obviously unreliable to force them to betray the object they believed in and tell the monster's hiding place, or to lead Liu Tianci to explore its traces. But it didn't matter, Liu Tianci had his own way to deal with it.

It was understood that these people claimed to be followers of the Faceless God Cult. However, Liu Tianci had no idea how they established such a close connection with each other.

It is even more unclear why these people were able to maintain a certain degree of sanity after witnessing that horrific monster, and not fall into a state of madness like ordinary people whose brains were strongly impacted, with their sanity values ​​plummeting to zero in an instant.

But no matter what, Liu Tianci firmly believes that with his own wisdom and ability, he will be able to uncover the truth hidden behind the fog.

However, what is certain is that there must be some kind of secret and wonderful communication or induction mechanism between these people and the mysterious monster. Without this connection, the organization called the Faceless God Cult would probably be difficult to establish.

Liu Tianci skillfully cut off the tail of the monster that Xiaowei had mutated into, then held it carefully and slowly moved it back and forth between the two sharp horns of the hideous head next to it.

Then he quickly pinched the two sides and skillfully tied a strong knot. Then, a long wooden stick was inserted from the bottom, passed through the knot accurately, and steadily lifted up the horrifying monster head and held it high in front of him.

Then Liu Tianci turned his wrist flexibly and easily carried the stick on his shoulder, while the terrifying head hung dangling behind him.

A closer look revealed that the appearance of this monster was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the video before! He thought to himself, since they were so similar, maybe he could use this head as bait to lure out another equally scary monster!

Thinking of this, he decisively gave an order to Rotom beside him: "Rotom, turn on the light!"

As Rotom responded and activated the Bluebird drone's lighting function, a bright light instantly cut through the darkness.

At this time, Liu Tianci was also ready. He gently patted the bluebird on his shoulder, signaling it to temporarily rest on the empty shoulder on the other side.

At the same time, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone, turned on the screen and checked the time - it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

Since he had no idea of ​​the monster's exact location, Liu Tianci could only assume that it was hiding in a more secluded place in Fangdou Mountain. So, he took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked resolutely towards the depths of Fangdou Mountain...

"Little boy, carrying a strange head and walking around the forest farm~"

The strange and eerie singing seemed to be endowed with life, wandering and lingering in the vast woodland. Liu Tianci was like a naughty child, humming an untuneable tune and skipping forward with brisk steps.

At first, the slope below me was rising slowly, and each step required some effort. However, after a while, the slope gradually became gentle.

At this moment, Liu Tianci has reached the top of the mountain. Looking ahead, perhaps there is a sunken basin formed between the mountains called Fangdou Mountain. The terrain here is low-lying, surrounded by towering mountains, like a natural basin embedded in the earth.

"Why haven't you shown up yet? This is really troublesome... Hey! That weird-looking friend, are you home?" The long search made Liu Tianci feel a little impatient, so he simply stopped, chose an open place on the top of the mountain, and shouted loudly.

"Friend—are you at home—"

"Are you home—"

"Are you at home——"

His shout was like a stone thrown into the water, stirring up layers of echoes. These echoes reverberated back and forth in the deep valley ahead, lingering for a long time. Seeing this, Liu Tianci couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose, secretly delighted in his heart: I didn't expect that such a casual shout would have such a surprisingly good effect. It was much easier and less laborious than wandering aimlessly in the woods before!

"Looking for friends--"

"Found a faceless beast—"

"It looks like a bat and a cow—"

"Cut off the head and walk all over the mountain -"

As the song became increasingly weird and absurd, Liu Tianci continued to wait expectantly for the response from the mysterious "friend".

The melodious singing spread throughout the Fangdou Valley like the gurgling of water. Liu Tianci stood on the platform calmly, with his hands on his hips, his head held high, as if he wanted to absorb all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into his body.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, repeating this over and over again, fully exercising his amazing lung capacity.

On the mountainside, the young men and women who had been frightened out of their wits by Xiao Wei and the others and who had run for their lives until they were exhausted were now lying in the woods, trying to hide themselves in terror.

They all looked as pale as paper, their bodies trembling, their hearts filled with worry and fear of the unknown. Time passed by minute by minute, and after more than ten minutes, they still did not see any trace of those terrible monsters.

These frightened people secretly wondered: Is there still danger lurking in this dark forest? Are those monsters secretly watching us, waiting for the best opportunity to pounce and give us a fatal blow?

Thinking of this, they didn't even dare to breathe, but just curled up in their own hiding corners, looking around nervously...

At this moment, the melodious song suddenly reached their ears. This song sounded clueless and confusing, and no one knew what it meant.

For young men and women who are extremely sensitive and fragile at this moment, any slight disturbance will make their hearts rise to their throats. So, they can only look around in confusion, trying to find a clue or comfort in the darkness.

In this way, the song was sung over and over again two or three times, but the surroundings were still quiet, without any other movement.

Finally, Liu Tianci seemed to feel a little bored. He cleared his throat and shouted, "Hey! Faceless monster, do you dare to answer me when I call you?" This shout was like thunder, echoing in the valley.

But unfortunately, apart from his own voice, he didn't get any response.

Liu Tianci, whose throat was dry from shouting, shook his head helplessly and began to pack up his things. He seemed to be ready to leave this place and continue to move towards the depths of Fangdou Mountain. Before leaving, he did not forget to shout one last time, hoping to cause some reaction, but the result still disappointed him.
