Chapter XXXVII
Stygian - Bloodthirsty, according to the information found out by the original owl in that data collection, although they have good intelligence and attack speed, but they are still a defective product that has not completely escaped the "blood curse", so their hearing and vision are about zero, and their search for prey depends on their incomparably sensitive sense of smell.
For example, if you stand in front of it intact and without any external injuries, they can live peacefully with it for the rest of their lives. But if you are scratched, scratched, stabbed...... Wait, as long as it can cause traumatic wounds and leak blood, even if you are three kilometers away, they will accurately locate your position, like a pack of vicious dogs that never tire of you, keep running to your position until all your blood is sucked clean and all the meat is eaten off.
Zhang Keji's eyes were still bleeding, and he had already gotten better after Dante's simple medical treatment, but the wound just now burst directly and continued to bleed out, and Yuan Xiao knew in his heart that they had already been discovered by the demons in this office building.
But they didn't know that this time it was not the prey, but the calm butcher.
What does it matter if it's discovered?
Master is here to take revenge, I don't care so much about you!
That's right, the original owl is also here for revenge.
Although it is not like Zhang Keji's deep hatred of killing his father, this group of evil demons who don't know whether to live or die have indeed committed the most unpleasant forbidden area of the original owl - disrupting his plan.
Yuan Xiao is a somewhat stereotypical person in his bones.
Although he will never be like a stupid wood when he does things or speaks, he will always be like a cold machine when it comes to deciding good things, and he will never change the slightest thing to practice. For example, in battle, he made his own battle plan, and if someone dared to disrupt it, even if it was a teammate, he would cut it down on the spot.
Dante is the one who has the most say in this, because he was the last one who was almost sent to hell on the spot by the original owl......
And this time, Yuan Xiao was originally ready to find the jackal today to talk about forming a team to save Sun Haiqing, and then return to the mission assembly house in the evening to find a suitable demon hunter to search for specialty.
Everything was arranged so comfortably that Yuan Xiao couldn't help but sigh comfortably every time he thought of his plan.
But such a "perfect" plan was blinded (in a way, really blinded...... Now he not only has to come over to save the jackal whose life and death are uncertain, but also take revenge with an ordinary person who can't do anything. And even if it is rescued, it may not be in time for the busiest time of the rally in the evening, if it is not rescued, or it is already late, it is equivalent to saying that all plans are invalid......
Yuan Xiao's breathing was a little heavier, although years of fighting instinct could not affect his ability to make judgments and execution, but this unhappiness was like a thin needle swimming in his veins, pricking it from time to time, making him irritable but unable to grasp it, turning into an incomparably violent force, constantly swimming up and down his body.
This is also why just now, whether in the union or on the road just now, Yuan Xiao was extremely cold and ruthless.
The murderous aura visible to the naked eye continued to escape from Yuan Xiao's body, and Zhang Keji, who was following behind him, shivered involuntarily, and secretly retreated a few steps, and the cold feeling was only a little lessened.
Yuan Xiao pushed open the door, and the whole building was still quiet, there was no sound, only a faint fishy sweet smell in the air, reminding the intruder that there was a group of bloodthirsty drinkers here.
"Hmph, this can suppress my instincts. Yuan Xiao frowned and slowly walked up the stairs, "So, there must be a higher-level being who is in charge of them, and those taken hearts and brains are probably also the request of that one." ”
The elevator was already too broken to sit on, so they began to walk up the stairs with the smell of blood.
The biggest reason for the abandonment of this office building is the lighting problem, and I don't know how to choose the designer and the contractor, the lighting area of the building is less than 50% of the original publicity, and it can't be saved at all, and no one wants to take this plate, the boss escaped, the contractor slipped away, and a group of migrant workers couldn't get paid and dispersed, and the building was so idle here, but no one thought that such a gloomy environment provided a perfect shelter for the dark-tired people.
The darkness was like a cold and greasy net, gently binding Zhang Keji's body.
The empty stairwell could not be reached, the only sound was the footsteps of two people, the footsteps that would not be noticed on weekdays became a frightening torture at this time, Zhang Keji had never felt that the footsteps were so harsh, so terrifying.
The only consolation is that the original owl in front of him is always walking up at a fixed rate, never slowing down, never speeding up, like a machine that will never be afraid, mechanically executing the order of "going up the stairs", such a calm attitude makes Zhang Keji feel a little relieved.
Zhang Keji wanted to say something several times, but when he thought of Yuan Xiao's previous warning, he quickly swallowed the words back into his stomach.
The first floor is three meters high, and there are more than a dozen steps of inclined stairs, but Zhang Keji feels like Sisyphus's rolling stone road, never ending, forever tormented.
Just went up to the corner of the third floor, Zhang Keji was already a little unable to hold on, covered in cold sweat, holding on to the rusty railing and panting constantly, he felt that in such silence, he was about to be forced to collapse and commit suicide by the sound of footsteps.
He decided to say something to the original owl.
Even if it is ushered in by a still cold answer, or a severe beating, it is better than being mired in endless darkness and boring repetitive monosyllables.
A pale, cold hand covered his mouth.
Yuan Xiao didn't look back, just covered Zhang Keji's mouth.
He heard something, and he was crawling towards him.
The original owl's new plan is to use a sudden sneak attack to make it lose all its fighting and distress capabilities, which can not only prevent it from gathering more companions, but also allow itself to have a certain amount of time to obtain some information through some "special" methods.
As for the not-so-bright method of sneak attack, it was as natural for him as drinking water.
From childhood to adulthood, he would never give up the most effective solution because of the lack of practical meaning because of the consideration of face or dignity. Sneak attacks, poisoning, intimidation and threats, hijacking, and even begging for mercy and pretending to be dead are all easy for the former former owl, and there is no psychological barrier at all.
It's just that the current original owl is even stronger than back then, so most of the time the killing method has become positive and tough, but he will never give up these shady means.
This time it was to save people, and the original owl wanted to try not to attract attention as much as possible before saving the jackal, so the most skilled sneak attack of the year became the best choice.
Zhang Keji, whose eyes are bleeding, is the best bait, and all Yuan Xiao has to do is to be patient enough and wait for the fish to take the bait.
Fish may be cunning, but they will never be able to stop their greed for bait.
Zhang Keji couldn't see it, but Yuan Xiao, who saw the darkness as nothing, was staring dead ahead, where a "Bloodthirsty One" (hereinafter referred to as the Bloodthirsty One) was slowly and carefully approaching him.
The lower body of the bloodthirsty person resembles an arthropod insect, but the sharpness is much stronger, and the twelve insect feet are like twelve Western swords, slashing back and forth quickly, running as quietly as possible to the source of the smell of blood.
But it was so quiet here, after the two of them stopped, all the small sounds would be amplified countless times, and slowly, Zhang Keji also heard a slight crash, like the sound of a shovel stuck in the dirt.
Sweat flowed down drop by drop, and if it weren't for Yuan Xiao covering his mouth, he might have to rely on yelling to embolden himself.
He is not to blame, even if he is ready to die, but the fear of the unknown is always the worst enemy of mankind. Just imagine, in the pitch black, with the terrible sound of shoveling dirt in your ears, and you know that there is a monster that can suck you dry, slowly approaching you, and you can't even see what it looks like.
Fortunately, there is someone here who can put an end to this horror.
When he saw that the bloodthirsty man was less than twenty meters away from him, the original owl violently exerted force under his feet, like a bullet out of the chamber, and rushed directly towards the leisurely bloodthirsty person.
This bloodthirsty man should also be on the line, and the "leader" had ordered him not to leave, and to wait for the end of the "ceremony" before continuing to hunt. But this smell of blood is not something that ordinary evil can resist, so this bloodthirsty person wants to sneak over and eat alone while everyone is preparing for the "ritual", anyway, the creatures in the human world are so weak that there can be no danger.
Then he was caught red-handed by the original owl.
Yes, before he could react to what was going on, he was directly smashed off four worm legs, his body was crooked, and before the pain of the severed limbs could reach its shrunken brain, a hole was directly pierced in the lower half of his body, and then a cold tube-like object was stuffed into his mouthparts, and with a muffled roar, its vocal organs were also destroyed.
Yuan Xiao slowly pulled the "White Ivory" from the mouthparts of the bloodthirsty man, and listened to the low roar of the "White Ivory", as if complaining that Yuan Xiao had stuffed it into such a disgusting place.
Yuan Xiao casually rubbed his pants twice, and threw the white ivory back into the void.
Then he began to look at the half-dead bloodthirster who had destroyed his ability to speak and escape in two seconds.
"The skin material is the same as in the book, pliable with disgusting mucus, and has a certain fire resistance. Yuan Xiao twisted the yellow body fluid flowing from the hole in the lower half of the thirsty person with two fingers, felt a faint burning sensation, and continued to conclude, "The corrosive ability should be quite strong for ordinary people, and it can turn a big living person into a pool of blood in ten minutes." ”
As if fiddling with a broken toy, Yuan Xiao turned the bloodthirsty man who had lost the ability to think over and over again, and Zhang Keji in the back saw this strange scene through the afterglow from the window at the corner, and the world view was once again greatly impacted......
"Orkus. Yuan Xiao shouted in the temple of thinking.
"It's grinning. Orkus popped out like a ghost, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, and a solemn black codex in his hand, "What, I'm two pages away from the Code of Hammurabi." ”
"Help. "I feel that this group of Evil Demons is not just predators, I need your ability." ”
Orkus smiled sinisterly when he heard this, and let out a strange sound of "Kukuku".
"It's been a long time since I've 'searched for souls', and although it's just an ant, mosquito legs are also meat. Orkus rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll only give you ten seconds. Yuan Xiao walked to the junction of the river of blood and the white bones, and closed his eyes.
Orkus didn't say anything more, stretched out two fingers of his right hand like dry bones, pressed them against the eyes of the original owl, and inserted them straight in!
