"What is that?" Shen Huaiyu asked.

"One type," Lu Huaiyuan said, "a beast that can eat people."

Lu Huaiyuan originally read a lot of books when he was at home. The old man doted on him and did not force him to read the Four Books and Five Classics, so Lu Huaiyuan read everything in general.Although most of the books I read are legendary stories, I also occasionally saw some strange books.

Those weird and frightening stories left a lot of psychological shadow on Lu Huaiyuan. He was still young at that time, and after reading it, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep well for a few days, but he was still curious about other stories, so he suppressed his fear and wanted to Read on.

These beasts with the head of a lion and the body of a tiger formed by the black mist are very similar to the illustrations attached to an illustration he has seen in a novel.

"It didn't look like this when I saw it in the book," Lu Huaiyuan said, "...it's not so dark."

Legend has it that Jiao is a god, and the second leader was instigated by others to kill Jiao.The Yellow Emperor was furious when he found out, and ordered his people to carry the body of Jiao Jiao to Kunlun Mountain, and revive him with the elixir.The reawakened Jiao Jiao has become very cruel and likes to eat humans.

Shen Huaiyu looked serious: "If it is really that kind of ancient beast, how could it appear in this small town for nothing?"

"Yes, it's very strange," Lu Huaiyuan said, "because at the end of the story, Hou Yi killed Qiao Jiao."

Shen Huaiyu broke up a few more "Jiaojiao": "...You mean, this thing came back from the dead again."

Lu Huaiyuan tightly clenched the sword in his hand, pursed his lips and broke a few, and then laughed dryly: "Our luck can't be so bad."

That can't be described as bad luck - if it really is Jiao Jiao, let alone the two of them, even if Shen Lin is here, I'm afraid it won't be easy to solve.

"Let's not talk about what's missing," Lu Huaiyuan said, "Saving people is the most important thing. Let's find out the body of this thing first."

There is a vast black mist all around, and you can't see the other party's figure even if you are a little farther away.Shen Huaiyu asked: "You're right, but it's just the two of us, and the town is so big, how can we find it?"

The black mist has a damp feeling, which makes people feel oppressed and suffocating.In this case, it is not necessarily a good thing to rush to separate, and it is even possible to accidentally injure the other party because you can't see clearly.

"This fog may block the sound." Lu Huaiyuan instilled internal strength into the sword, and slashed out a sword with brilliance.The black mist dispersed with his sword light, and then gathered together again, turning into the chaotic black mist again.

"Jiao Jiao's roar was so frightening that the villagers in Shiquan Town knew nothing about it. Wan Niang also said that there was no special noise the night their child disappeared." Lu Huaiyuan continued.

"That is to say, even if we search separately and find the thing, we can't call the other party to come over." Shen Huaiyu said, "This is a headache."

Lu Huaiyuan thought, in fact, he could find a ball of cotton thread, and the two of them would hold a section of the thread while the other held the ball, like flying a kite, and then search separately.In this way, even if the message cannot be conveyed by voice, the thread can be pulled at different rhythms to inform each other of some simple things.After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be a bit embarrassing to hold the string, so he shut up and didn't mention this suggestion.

This layer of thick black fog lasted for a long time. While thinking about the direction to break through, the two kept breaking up the shadows of Jiao Jiao that were attacking them, which consumed a lot of energy.

"Continuing like this is not an option," Shen Huaiyu said, "We have to lure that thing out."

Ye Qinqin lay on the bed and kept turning over, Huaiyuan and Huaiyu wouldn't let her follow, so she had to be bored alone in the room.

However, thinking about everything that might happen outside the window, I just couldn't fall asleep.She began to bite her nails and resent why she didn't insist on following, otherwise she wouldn't have to be bored here in the middle of the night alone.If you keep up, how can you have someone to talk to.

While thinking about these things in a mess, Ye Qinqin suddenly heard a "dong" sound from the window, which was very clear in this silent night, and she almost bit off her nails in fright.

When she turned her head, she saw Lu Huaiyuan kicking open the window and coming in.

"What's going on!" Her eyes widened in shock, "...you kicked the window from the outside, and I won't pay for it when the store wants to pay for it!"

"What time is it and you are still there to settle the trivial accounts!" Lu Huaiyuan gave her a look of resentment.

Shen Huaiyu followed him and also jumped in through the broken window, and Ye Qinqin noticed that the night outside the window was like thick fog, spreading into the room.

"This, this... what is this!" The girl who has always been eloquent was frightened one after another, and she couldn't even speak clearly, "You agreed not to take me to play! Why are you all running back again!"

Shen Huaiyu walked up to Ye Qinqin in three steps and two steps: "Qinqin, lend me your jade pendant."

Ye Qinqin has been on Qingyun Mountain as long as she can remember, and she went up the mountain earlier than Shen Huaiyu.When Shen Huaiyu went up the mountain for the first time, she was still a little baby.At that time, she was not as courageous as she is now, she didn't dare to go forward when she saw a stranger, she just hid behind Li Xuan and watched him secretly, her little face was flushed, her eyes were like obsidian, not to mention how attractive she was.

Since then, Ye Qinqin has been wearing a white jade pendant in the shape of a ginkgo leaf.Shen Huaiyu asked Shen Lin what was going on, but Shen Lin only said that it was an object left to her by Ye Qinqin's biological mother, and didn't say anything more.Shen Huaiyu is not a person who asks the bottom line. Shen Lin didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more.

The ginkgo leaf jade pendant is extremely cute. Shen Lin told her that there is a formula sealed by her mother in the pendant, which can block a blow in times of crisis and save her life.Ye Qinqin treasured the pendant very much, and carried it with him every day.With her temperament of not hitting Fang Jiewa for three days, the pendant has not been damaged in the slightest after 15 years in her hands, which is enough to show Ye Qinqin's love for it.

Shen Huaiyu suddenly asked her for it, she was taken aback for a moment, then reluctantly took out the jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to him.

Shen Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "I will return it to you in a while."

There is a tactic in this jade pendant, which is more beneficial to that monster than a baby. Using this as a bait to lure that thing out is the method Lu and Chen just thought of.

Shen Huaiyu put the jade pendant into the teapot on the table, and the three of them stepped aside, held their breath, and waited intently.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qinqin's feet felt a little sore when he stood, and a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared in the black mist beside the bed.

coming!
