"Big black!"
Zhao Mu, who had grown up with hounds, his eyes instantly turned red, and he even looked at the skeletal giant with naked hostility in his eyes.
But before Zhao Mu could make any aggressive moves, the skeleton giant threw the hound at his feet.
"Ouch..."
It seems that he has recognized the true identity of the skeleton giant, but it also seems that he is simply frightened by the skeleton giant...
I saw the black hound gently clinging to Zhao Mu's feet, looking at the skeletal giant in fear, but no longer daring to leave its master and run away alone like before.
"Dahei? Are you okay?"
Just when Zhao Mu was confused as to why his hound was so timid, another strange sound came from deep in the mist.
Tap tap tap...
As if someone was walking on a marble slab, crisp and loud footsteps gradually approached the location of Zhao Mu and the skeleton giant.
But the problem arises here.
How could there be a road paved with marble in this mist-shrouded jungle swamp?
Abnormality is a demon, especially in this weird fog. Zhao Mu immediately increased his vigilance and carefully retreated to a relatively safe position with the hound at his feet.
Immediately afterwards, two figures, a man and a woman, were seen slowly walking out of the fog.
"I really didn't expect that this 'unusual movement' would end so quickly."
Looking in the direction of the voice, Zhao Mu found that the woman in the duo was speaking.
She was a girl who looked very lively, and even showed a bit of cuteness in her words and deeds.
The man standing next to him was a young man dressed as a scholar, who looked like the girl's father.
But judging from the degree of intimacy between the two and the small gestures revealed in their words and deeds, they seemed to be a couple, or even a couple.
"The new 'Tomb Beast' reacted too quickly."
After briefly answering the girl's question, the young scholar immediately turned his gaze in the direction of Zhao Mu.
Or to be more precise, the young scholar focused his attention on the tall skeletal giant.
"And this time the 'Grave Slayer Beast' seems to be an alien as well."
Ruo Ruo glanced at Zhao Mu who was standing aside, and the young scholar whispered helplessly and thankfully.
"It seems that although we can't go out this time, our safety is still guaranteed in a short period of time."
As if he understood the young scholar's words, the skeleton giant suddenly took a step forward, and the orb on the bone crown flashed with a dark green light.
tumultuous!
In an instant, the surrounding fog suddenly fluctuated, and invisible monsters appeared in the fog again.
But this time, their actions were tightly controlled by the skeleton giant, and they could only continue to set off invisible waves in the fog to indicate their existence.
"There's no need to be so anxious to show off your power..."
Facing the intimidation of those invisible monsters, the young scholar who put his arm around the girl said with a smile.
"After all, you are different from the previous 'Tomb Beast'. You are just one of his many 'collections'..."
"Every energy you consume now is shortening your existence in disguise, which is not good for our future transactions."
When he said this, the young scholar suddenly paused, and then continued.
"Actually, even if you don't say anything, I know what you want."
His eyes swept over Zhao Mu without trace, and the young scholar gave his answer in a tone that was so calm that it was almost cold.
"Just like the last 'Tomb Beast'."
"As long as you can prevent those 'residues' from invading my territory, I will help you realize your wish."
As soon as these words were spoken, the restless invisible monsters nearby were immediately eliminated.
Even the orb on the skeletal giant's crown became dim again, as if he agreed with the content of the deal.
"Roar!"
So after a brief roar, the skeleton giant, who no longer showed his strength, retreated little by little and returned to the depths of the mist.

"..."
It was only then that the young Zhao Mu came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and his eyes stayed on the young scholar for a long time.
"Are you the scholar my mother mentioned?"
For Zhao Mu, who has never had contact with outsiders, this scholar who can live alone in the fog is as mysterious as those invisible monsters.
If his mother hadn't said that if anyone could leave here and go to the outside world, it would be this scholar.
Zhao Mu couldn't believe that this seemingly ordinary young man in front of him was actually so capable.
However, when I thought about the scene where the other party communicated with the skeletal giant on an equal footing, and even had a slight advantage.
Zhao Mu had to admit that the mysterious man and woman in front of him were indeed more powerful characters than he had imagined.
Even the outsider who subdued him with one move before brought him far less shock than this couple.
"Tsk, tsk, you are really an innocent kid who doesn't know anything."
Smiling and shaking their heads, the girls nestled in the young scholar's arms all sighed pitifully.
"My child, if I guess correctly, are you planning to leave here?"
Looking at the girl who also looked very mysterious, Zhao Mu hesitated because he thought of his mother at this moment.
Although the other party had already told him before that if something unexpected happened to the village, he must leave the village and live in the strange world full of monsters outside.
And she also promised herself that no matter what happened, she would live well.
But when things came to an end, Zhao Mu started to worry about his mother in the village.
Zhao Mu knew that his mother was not as simple as she seemed, but she could not resist the outsider and also showed strong force value.
"Do you want to go back?"
Zhao Mu's inner struggle was evident at a glance, and the young scholar spoke at the right moment.
"If you just want to go back, I can take you back now."
The calm voice was full of confidence. The young scholar looked at Zhao Mu who was still struggling with interest, as if looking at a lost puppy.
"But once you go back, I don't guarantee that you will be able to see me again."
As soon as these words were spoken, the young scholar clearly felt the nearby fog shake, as if he was warning himself.
"No, I won't go back."
Zhao Mu raised his head firmly and said decisively.
"I want to go out to find my dad and bring him back to reunite the family!"
