Ma Tianjiao, Jiao Ruzhen and Huang Yuan entered the mountains under the heavy night cover.
It was quiet and dark inside the mountain, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Ordinary people would have difficulty walking here without a lantern to illuminate their way.
Therefore, this kind of pursuit of monsters in the dark night can only rely on those monster slayers who have the power of soul cultivation.
At this moment, the night wind blew up the frost, forming a cold mist that enveloped the mountain forest.
The three of them, Ma Tianjiao, ran into the mist and ran quickly in the forest!
Their eyelids were wiped with cow tears, and they searched carefully for unusual smells in the dark night.
Three people and three pairs of eyes searching for clues of evil in the huge mountains is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The information obtained this time is really too little...
All I know is that there was a monster that could transform into a human form and kidnapped the thirteen-year-old Guo Aliang. He failed to kill anyone and fled into the mountain.
No other clues are known!
In this case, there is no other good way. I can only be patient and search here, one forest after another.
Since I had searched this mountain before, I was pretty familiar with it.
They know very well where there are mountain cols, valleys, swamps or caves.
At this moment, the three of them walked across the dense forest and jumped onto a high stone.
Standing on the top of this towering white rock, you can clearly see the situation in two valleys, three caves, and five bushes from a distance!
Ma Tianjiao, Huang Yuan and Jiao Ruzhen stood together, back to back, facing three different directions, looking carefully.
But I saw the evening wind blowing the pine trees, making a whistling sound...the frost air slapped the leaves of the sycamore forest, making a rustling sound.
Huang Yuan's eyes were fixed on a mound covered with chrysanthemums in the southeast.
The grass there was very lush, about as tall as a person. If there was something hidden there, it would be difficult to detect, so I focused on that area.
I observed the tall grass for a long time with eyes wiped with cow's tears. In the end, except for the movement caused by the wind and grass and rocks, there was no other abnormality.
Therefore, Huang Yuan planned to turn his attention elsewhere.
However.
Just when he was about to look away from the tall grass, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a purple aura rushing out from the corner of his eye!
This made Huang Yuan's eyes immediately freeze!
As a demon slayer, he knew exactly what that purple aura was.
The demon slayer with cow's tears on his eyes can easily see the aura of soul power emanating from the soul that has experienced cultivation.
In the territory of Dayan Kingdom, except for the demon slayer who can burst out this kind of purple soul aura when he activates his cultivation power, only the demons and ghosts can have it!
“There’s movement there!!”
Huang Yuan gave a low shout and ran over quickly. Ma Tianjiao and Jiao Ruzhen reacted immediately, following closely behind and flying towards where Huang Yuan was running.
The three of them were running with their eyes fixed on the grassy ground.
"There! Chase quickly!!"
The purple aura sensed that someone was chasing him, so he began to flee among the grass roots and gravel.
Ma Tianjiao, Jiao Ruzhen, and Huang Yuan grasped the demon-slaying knife tightly and flew quickly on the grass to catch up, ready to kill at any time.
But that thing was quite fast and very small. It was really difficult to catch it as it was running around in the mountains with complicated terrain and tangled vegetation.
Following the trace of the little thing, I flew across the scene of a cup of tea and arrived halfway up the mountain without realizing it.
However, when I got here, I suddenly lost track...
This made Ma Tianjiao, Huang Yuan and Jiao Ruzhen very annoyed!
But at the same time, some doubts arose in my heart.
Is that thing that looks like a mouse a monster that can change into a human form and kidnap a thirteen-year-old child? …
"Is it not related to the humanoid murderous monster that used to sacrifice zombies in the mountains?...But is it a new demon that is here to cause trouble?..."
Ma Tianjiao thought so.
Then I felt dizzy for a while.
There are so many monsters and ghosts in the area under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou City!
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't kill them all. One person left, and another group came...
I'm so busy every day, but it's hard to get peace.
I couldn't help but sigh that the job of slaying demons in the Yan Kingdom was becoming increasingly difficult!
But now is not the time to complain... We need to kill the evil creature that likes to kidnap children as soon as possible, so as to give an explanation to the civilians in Shitingzi Village.
Now that they have been chased to the mountainside, the monster must not be able to run far!
It must be somewhere around here.
Ma Tianjiao, Huang Yuan and Jiao Ruzhen stopped and stood still among the loose rocks halfway up the mountain.
The three of them stood under the bright moonlight, carefully looking at everything around them, hoping to see that purple aura again.
His eyes swept across the black tree roots, white rocks, and the thick and soft piles of dead grass and leaves...
They stared around for seven or eight breaths, scanning all the places where the purple aura could be hidden.
"Why is it missing?..."
did not find.
The three of them couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Ma Tianjiao frowned, even more unwillingly.
During these days, nothing he did went smoothly, and he was so unlucky that even drinking cold water made his teeth choke!
So I have been holding my breath in my heart!
The murder case in Chengma Town has not been solved yet, and the humanoid monster that sacrificed zombies in the mountain forest has not been caught... Now an evil thing as big as a mouse dares to come out and play tricks on them!
This is extremely infuriating.
Unwilling, Ma Tianjiao still did not give up. He poured some cow tears again and wiped it on his eyelids, hoping to see more clearly.
This time, his gaze wasn't limited to the immediate area.
Jump up a tree, stand on the trunk and have a panoramic view of the entire mountainside!
His eyes swept over the layers of tree vines, passing through the branches one by one...
Sudden!
The purple breath burst out from a pile of dead grass and leaves at Huang Yuan's feet.
"over there!!"
This time it was the trace of the evil thing that Jiao Ruzhen discovered.
It turned out that the thing never ran far, but hid in a pile of thick dead grass!
Ma Tianjiao, who was standing on the tree trunk and looking far away, quickly jumped down and followed Huang Yuan and Jiao Ruzhen who had already chased them.
At this time, the purple aura was running quickly in front, and Ma Tianjiao and the three demon-slayers followed closely behind. They did not dare to be careless this time, for fear of losing them again.
This time the evil thing was faster, and its escape route was no longer aimless.
Ma Tianjiao, who was chasing after him, gradually realized this!
He found that the evil thing seemed to be running around halfway up the mountain...it seemed to be trying to run to the back mountain...
"Is there its lair there?"
Ma Tianjiao's eyes flashed lightly, and his mind was spinning a thousand times.
But then he gave up his entangled thoughts and thought to himself: "No matter how many there are! Let's catch it first!"
The three demon-slayers also sped up their running speed, keeping an eye on the escape trajectory of the purple aura.
They broke through the trees, stepped on the tree crowns, biting the buttocks of the purple aura, and got into the cave.
That's right!
That purple aura escaped into this cave!
Why don't you try to catch a turtle in a urn now? !
Ma Tianjiao and Jiao Ruzhen, Huang Yuan got in without thinking.
However.
As soon as they entered the cave, the eyes and pupils of the three of them immediately condensed!
At this moment, a man was sitting cross-legged on a large rock deep in the cave.
