snow wolf ballad

"Oh, let me tell you, why does it feel like you're not afraid of that monster at all?" Song Yun's low voice of inquiry sounded beside her ears, and she had already crawled to the position shoulder to shoulder with Yao Ji.

"..." Yao Ji didn't bother to pay attention to her question, and kept staring at the monster in front of her.The monster seemed to be attracted by the movement made by her and Song Yun just now, and has been wandering not far away.Ruo Ji knew that creatures like mythical creatures lived in deep water and had poor eyesight, but their senses of hearing and smell were extremely strong, arguably stronger than sharks.Now on land, it may be weakened, but if they become suspicious, it is only a matter of time before they are found.So if she rushes out rashly at this moment, her position will definitely be exposed.She wasn't afraid of this monster, but there was an ordinary human beside her.Although this guy is a bit annoying, but at least he helped her. It remains to be seen whether he is trustworthy or not. At least Yao Ji doesn't want this guy to die because of herself.Ghosts are not something ordinary humans can deal with.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, don't ignore people. I always feel that you seem to know what that monster is, and what is your background?" Song Yun was still persistently asking.

Yao Ji inserted the dagger back into her waist, changed her posture, and covered her mouth with her right hand, whispering:

"Shut up, listen to me. Wait a minute, I'll get that monster's attention, you run all the way east, we will meet at the door of the cafe on the corner ahead. Of course, you can also leave directly, It’s more convenient for me to act alone. However, if you want to escape from Xicheng by yourself, I think it’s impossible.”

"Wait, you said you have a way to escape from Xicheng?" Song Yun broke her hand, his eyes sparkled.

"Naturally, my companions and I came from the outer city after the heavy fog, so there is naturally a way to leave." Yao Ji was full of confidence.

"Do you still have companions?"

"Yes, there are seven people in total." Yao Ji replied.Although more than half of it is lying down now, she added in her heart.

"I promise to go with you, seven of you, don't you mind adding me and my friend?"

"Your friend?" Yao Ji frowned.

"Uh... well, to tell you the truth, she is the daughter of an old brother of mine, who is only 14 years old this year. She has been suffering from a high fever for the past two days. I came out to find medicine and food for her." Song Yun said for the first time. He restrained his idle posture, and showed a worried look on his face.

"Oh? A 14-year-old girl..." Yao Ji murmured in her heart.

"She's very obedient, she's different from me. Ah, but it doesn't mean I'm dishonest. If you take me with you, I'll definitely listen to you." I was very happy, and hurriedly expressed my opinion.

"Okay, where is that girl? Let's pick her up after we get rid of the monster. Oh, before that, we have to go to the hospital first." Yao Ji said.

"You agreed?" Song Yun asked.

Yao Ji was too lazy to speak any more, and nodded.

"Great!" Song Yun waved his fist.

"Then, let's act as soon as possible without delay." Saying that, Yao Ji was ready to jump over the railing and set off.

"Wait!" Song Yun hurriedly grabbed her and said:

"How do you lure that monster? Do you have a way to deal with it? Or... I'll go." She gritted her teeth.

"Didn't you ask me if I knew that monster? I'll answer you now, I know very well." Yao Ji turned her head and smiled coldly at her.

Song Yun stared at her blankly, and there was a saying that "a smile is a hundred times when you look back", but this beautiful woman is beautiful when she looks back and smiles, but it is frozen for thousands of miles, and her heart is frozen.Seeing her trembling, she subconsciously pursed her lips.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked cautiously:

"What is that monster?"

"Innuendo, you know this idiom, right?"

"Hmm..." Song Yun nodded, not quite understanding the relationship between this idiom and that monster.

"Do you know how the idiom innuendo came from? It came from this monster. The name of this monster is Shen, and it is generally called 'ghost'. This monster has the habit of harming people secretly. It is recorded in "Sou Shen Ji": "Its name is Shen, and it is also called a short fox. It can shoot people with sand, and those caught by it will suffer from physical cramps, headaches and fevers, and the victims will die." .' And, even being shot in the shadow will cause the same symptoms. Hence the word 'innuendo', which refers to secret harm."

Song Yun was stunned when he heard that, she had a high school education, read little, and had an expression of being fooled.Of course, in fact, Yan Ji didn't mean to drag the text, but just blurted it out naturally, as if she was already familiar with it in her mind and couldn't be more familiar with it.But to be honest, "Sou Shen Ji" is a work of the Jin Dynasty, and Yan Ji, who lived in the transition period of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, would never have the opportunity to read it. These are actually the knowledge in Lu Zhiyao's memory. Of course, it is natural now Became Yao Ji's knowledge.

But in fact, in the time when Ruo Ji lived, creatures like the mythical creature already existed. She had encountered this kind of monster before, so it can be said that she knows it very well, not just staying in the data records.

"Anyway, remember, run all the way east, and be careful not to let the sand in the monster's mouth spray you, it will kill you immediately. This monster is no longer an ordinary creature, it is a demon creature, that monster It will make it more manic and aggressive."

"En." Song Yun nodded repeatedly.Although she has been dazed by ghosts and demons, it does not affect her understanding of the essentials of action.

With Yao Ji's third finger raised up, two figures rushed out quickly, climbed over the railing, one ran east desperately, and the other plunged into the thick fog and ran west.Passing by where the bows and arrows landed, Yao Ji didn't care about them any more. Now that her left hand is injured, she can't use the bows and arrows.But this doesn't mean she can't attract the monsters. She took out a handful of crystal white rice flour from her pocket and threw it into the air suddenly. They caught the two monsters hiding in the mist.Immediately, the two ugly worm-shaped monsters made a "sizzling" sound, and the pain made them scream piercingly, and immediately chased Yao Ji, ignoring Song who was running away in the other direction. cloud.

The fat body with its big tail dragged a wet trail on the concrete road. The huge worm seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact it was not inferior to Ruo Ji who was running at full strength.Yao Ji seems to be being chased very closely, but she is not in a hurry. From time to time, she puts her right hand into her pocket and spills a lot of white rice powder. Every time the monster screams in pain, its body shrinks and dissolves. There are many disgusting pustules, but they are still chasing her persistently, which looks very strange.

Ruo Jisa's white crystals are not very powerful, they are just ordinary table salt.When she saw those corpses in the supermarket before, she already guessed that it was caused by mythical creatures, so she went to the warehouse of the supermarket and found two bags of salt to take with her for self-defense.Although the tearing marks on those corpses looked like they were caused by wild beasts, what was strange was that only internal organs were missing, all limbs were sound, and there were no bite marks at all.Moreover, there were traces of dissolution in the dragged out internal organs, which were dissolved by some kind of strong acidic mucus.Beasts that can cause such marks, apart from monsters like the mythical creature, I am afraid there is no other in the natural world.

Although scary, these ugly monsters have the same body composition as slugs. They are very afraid of salt, because it will shrink their cells, so that they will die of dehydration.Generally, according to the common nature of living things seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, most living things will choose to escape when encountering the natural enemy they fear most.Ghosts are no exception. When you have a lot of salt on your body and sprinkle it on it without fear, this insidious but timid monster will naturally choose to run away.However, the current ghost creature is not in a natural state, it has fallen into a demon, so it will desperately chase any creature it targets, even if it is a moth to a flame.

To use a very vulgar saying as a metaphor, Yan Ji at the moment is like a weasel dragging more chickens and getting rarer.After chasing the two monsters for 300 meters, they were basically dead. Of course, the salt on her body had also been sprinkled.

Slowly stopping, she stood about five meters away from the two monsters, quietly watching the looming bodies of the monsters in the mist, they could not move, and they would die soon.However, Yao Ji did not let down her vigilance. After all, it is a monster. I don't know if there are other changes.

After waiting for about 3 minutes, seeing that the two monsters were indeed out of breath, Yao Ji stepped forward to check carefully.It stands to reason that the ghost creature is a very rare monster, and it would not appear in such a large number to harm the entire city.In this way, so many ghost creatures are probably bred deliberately by someone.Ruo Ji didn't quite understand the specific function, because in her opinion, ghost beasts seemed to have no other function other than harming and eating people. What benefits could breeding ghost beasts have?

She carefully observed the corpses of the two monsters, because of the salt, the monsters' whole body shrunk by two or three times, except for a bulging stomach, which caught Yaoji's attention.

She took a closer look, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she was extremely surprised:

This is... Fog Demon!

Is the demon beast actually the incubator of the fog demon?Or in other words, the purpose of the people behind breeding the Demon Realm is to serve as the mother for the Fog Demon?

So disgusting!

Seeing a dark "fetus" curled up in the translucent belly of the monster, Yao Ji couldn't help retching.After finally suppressing the feeling of nausea, she breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled out the dagger at her waist again, intending to cut open Moyu's stomach and take out the "foetus" of the fog demon for a closer study.

Fog devils don't look much different from humans, consisting of a head, torso, and limbs.According to legend, fog demons are formed from human corpses that fell into the water and drowned. They have the ability to control water molecules, and can fill the air with water molecules to form thick fog.So, the Mist Demon doesn't actually look much different from a human drowned corpse.It's just that the skin is blue and black, with gills under the ears, webbed fingers (toes), no hair, no gender, and a strange cuticle on the body, which looks like some kind of amphibian.

Fog demons are rarer than monsters, because they are monsters, so they can basically only be produced under very coincidental and extreme conditions.Anthurium is a kind of aquatic creature left in ancient times. Although the number is rare, it does not affect reproduction.In addition, both of them are aquatic monsters, and the monsters can provide enough nutrition and living environment for the fog monsters. Therefore, the people behind them came up with a way to breed monsters to breed a large number of fog monsters.

This is really unheard of, and he should be praised for his wonderful idea.

So, here comes the question, why do the people behind it need the fog to fill the whole country so much?Yao Ji had a hunch that if she figured out this matter, she might also be able to figure out the purpose of the person behind it.

However, Yao Ji did not forget her original purpose of coming out to investigate. She originally wanted to find out what happened in this city, and where did the snow-stained monsters stationed in Xicheng go?Unexpectedly, finding out the origin of the fog demon would be a worthwhile trip.

Yao Ji turned over the stillborn misty demon with a dagger, and she committed another crime in her heart. She retracted the dagger, turned around and rushed to the east, and she still needed to meet up with that Song Yun.Soon, her figure disappeared into the thick fog.

But the stillborn fog demon on the ground, which was cut out of its abdomen, suddenly opened its scarlet eyes covered with a film.
