C13 Encountering demonic beasts
With this attitude, Liu Zichen decided to wait until a demon beast appeared and then use this magical formation. The price he paid was just to consume a few drops of his own blood, but compared to his life, he was still willing to consume a few drops of it.
They all agreed on their mission arrangements. Old Xu continued to lead the way, gradually getting closer to the source of the cracking sound.
They saw a few wild dog-like animals crawling in the pipe in front of them, nibbling on the corpses on the ground. Since there was no light in the pipe, and only relying on the light from the glowing stick in Old Xu's hand, it was hard to tell whether those animals were wild dogs or some other mutated beasts.
Old Xu slowly lifted his short sword and approached those few nearby creatures. In Liu Zichen's heart, he was constantly chanting the spell he had learned on the wall of the Hu family. He planned on using these animals to test if the spell would really stop the beasts' attacks if they were to attack him.
One of them suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Liu Zichen's group. Liu Zichen clearly saw that the animal's eyes emitted a demonic red glow from underneath the light of Lachin's glowing stick; he really did not know what kind of animal had red eyes in the night. Furthermore, it was not the usual red light, it felt more like an orange red color.
Cold sweat broke out on his palms. Before he could think of a plan, he saw a few red eyes pouncing towards them.
"There are indeed other types of demon beasts. These are mutated meat eating demon beasts. When they gather together with the blood sucking demon beasts, they are really colluding with each other." Since he had already attracted the attention of the beasts, Old Xu no longer needed to be cautious. Instead, he coldly harrumphed and started to explain to Liu Zichen and Zhao Yan.
In the face of the demon beast's attack, Old Xu grasped his short sword and first sidestepped to dodge the demon beast's pounce. Then, the short sword flashed and one of the demon beasts was directly beheaded by Old Xu before it could even let out a cry.
The most frustrating thing was that these demon beasts were obviously not targeting Old Xu alone. The flying beasts pulled Xu and turned around and attacked Zhao Yan and himself, but he did not know if these demon beasts were poisonous or not, so he looked at the two demon beasts' eyes which were glowing red. Liu Zichen did not hesitate at all, immediately biting his finger and drawing a spell formation in the air.
The formation drawn in the air with his own blood also released a demonic red glow, forming a stark contrast with the demonic beast's eyes. It was just that the strange red glow of Liu Zichen's formation made him feel even more at ease.
Peng! A demon beast rushed towards Liu Zichen and crashed into the magical formation he had set up, but did not rush over. The magical formation rebounded the demon beast, causing it to fall to the ground and roll a few times before returning back to its original form.
Having experienced the success of the first time and facing the second demon beast's attack, Liu Zichen had a much better understanding of the situation. He quietly looked at the symbol color on his spell formation and felt that it did not consume much energy to defend against the demon beast's pounce. He proudly glanced at Zhao Yan, wanting to show off his ability to him.
But when Liu Zichen looked over, he realized that Old Xu's skills were far from what he could imagine. The long sword in his hand was also incomparably sharp, and with a turn of his body, he waved his hand and stabbed it in, and with a few casual movements, he killed a few demon beasts. The remaining demon beasts had high IQ, and after realizing that they could not defeat the man in front of them, with a few swishing sounds, they escaped into the underground tunnel.
"Let's go, a few little demon beasts are not worth much. Looking at their combat strength, they are probably nothing more than parasitic beasts of vampire demon beasts." Old Xu calmly said, as he extended his hand to illuminate the path ahead, taking the lead and walking forward.
Liu Zichen heaved a sigh of relief. Together with Zhao Yan, they continued walking forward through the pipeline in front of them. After a few turns, Old Xu led them into a room that was slightly larger than the others.
There were more bodies and limbs here, and most of them were dried up. The white and stinky body made Liu Zichen frown, and he said softly, "It should be here right? How long would it take for these demonic beasts to gather here? Why are there already so many victims here? "
"I estimate that there are a lot of people inside. If there is any movement later, please do not be lenient. Even if you let the person behind the summoner escape, it would be better than getting bitten by a demon beast and causing the wound to become infected." Old Xu did not turn back as he walked forward and chatted.
"What?" How could a bite infect a wound? So dangerous? Don't lie to me! " Liu Zichen's heart skipped a beat. He felt that this operation was even more dangerous, and the thought of quitting once again arose in his mind.
"I don't know if it will infect you or not, but if you don't prepare for it, you might really get infected. Just wait until you cry or go to the biology lab of the Brilliance Corporation." Old Xu's voice was still neither fast nor slow. It was unknown if he said that on purpose to scare Liu Zichen, or if he really said that in the knowledge he had learned about demon beasts.
In any case, Ye Xin was truly frightened. Although he still closely followed behind Old Xu and didn't say that he was going to leave, he secretly made up his mind that as long as a monster appeared, he would first lay down a few defensive arrays around his body without a second word.
As they walked forward, they found rooms after rooms. Most likely, in the past, when the factory was still running, these houses were used to store equipment to maintain drainage pipes. Now, it seemed that this place had become the headquarters of the vampire demon beasts.
Liu Zichen saw a cat-like animal lying in the middle of a pile of dead bodies, eating something in a low voice. He assumed that this was the creature that had parasitized around the blood-sucking demon beast, so he didn't pay it much attention, bent down and picked up a rock that was slightly bigger than his thumb, and threw it towards the demon beast. He wanted to scare it away so that it wouldn't suddenly explode and cause unnecessary panic when they passed by.
But what Liu Zichen never thought of was that he still took out a stone. That demon beast wasn't scared off by the sound of the stone, but suddenly raised its head and squeaked at them. At the same time, it opened its mouth, revealing its esophagus.
"Be careful, it can suck blood. That's probably the thing that killed the Hu family members." At the same time, he moved in a flash to stand in front of Liu Zichen, in case that demon beast suddenly attacked him.
Just as Old Xu's words fell, that demonic beast the size of a wild cat suddenly squeaked, and pounced over with a whoosh. Old Xu's body dodged, and the demonic beast was in the air, and it opened its mouth to spit out a straw, directly rushing towards Old Xu's throat. Old Xu hurriedly waved his short sword, and with a single slash, cut off the mouthpart of the demonic beast, and thick black blood instantly flowed out from the mouth of the demonic beast.
According to the Hu Clan's corpse inspection report, this demon beast's mouthpart contains a poison that can induce hallucinations. You should be careful not to pierce any part of the body's skin with its mouthpart, or you will experience the pleasure of using drugs. Old Xu slowly walked forward and used his foot to kick the dead demonic beast. Then, he used his short sword to pry open the demonic beast's mouth to check.
Zhao Yan nodded to show that he understood. Liu Zichen heard that this demon beast's mouthpart contained some kind of anesthetic poison, but he was even more uncertain. He felt that there were a few of them, so he decided that he should go out and gather all the people outside to exterminate this kind of demon beast.
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a gunshot that made his heart beat wildly. He raised his head to see Zhao Yan holding his gun with one hand and pointing it forward. A demonic beast on the ground was shot dead, but it was an extremely accurate marksmanship.
"Not bad, you have fast reactions. I just noticed a sneak attack from a demon beast and you attacked first. You are much stronger than Lil 'Liu." Old Xu praised Zhao Yan in satisfaction, but he did not forget to use this opportunity to belittle Liu Zichen.
"Hey, do you have a grudge against me? You don't have to go against me all the time to belittle me?" Liu Zichen said with dissatisfaction.
What came back was the back of Old Xu's head. He walked forward without turning his head back, and only waved his hand towards Liu Zichen, indicating for him to follow.
Zhao Yan was unfazed by Old Xu's praise. However, it was as if Old Xu's praise had nothing to do with him. Zhao Yan walked forward silently, while Liu Zichen could only follow behind huffily.
Perhaps it was because of the gunshot just now, Zhao Yan had just taken a few steps forward when seven to eight other demon beasts similar to the two he had seen earlier pounced on him from the wall. Old Xu roared and swung his short sword, slashing and killing them all.
Only Liu Zichen, who didn't have much fighting power to deal with this kind of creature, could only draw the incantation in embarrassment, resisting the demonic beasts' attacks that had slipped through the net.
