Chapter 5: The Eve of the Hunt

The sky gradually changed, and the thick fog spread through the mountains, without the slightest intention of retreating, and gradually dispersed downward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The gloomy sky, the curtain-like earth, and the mountains on both sides are like cold hunters, hunting the "long snake" in between, and this long snake does not seem to be willing to let go, and the roar of the furious beast shows its determination.

At this time, the roar came to an abrupt end. Itina stopped, her way blocked, flanked back and forth, embattled on all sides.

The gloomy sky also seemed to be about to be overwhelmed, and the prelude came down. As a thunderbolt swept by, a gale came.

The fog gradually receded under the mountain wind, and the true hunter finally appeared, after this layer of fog was blown away. They are the real hunters, and the existence in the wooden coffin is the prey they see in their eyes, and the Itina on the side is just a small reward for them, not even a prey dessert before a meal.

The fog lifted, and Iona was finally able to see their appearance clearly, roughly humanoid, but apart from their physical similarity, they could barely match the humans, and some of them, unable to even maintain basic standing, were crouching, prostrate, strangely shaped, and extremely twisted bodies hidden under the gray ragged shroud. Their faces are more distorted, their white and hollow eyes are confused, but the moment they look at them, there is a strange feeling of looking directly into the abyss, this feeling is self-evident, on their faces, except for their eyes, there is hardly any other symbol of human faces, without exception, they all have waist-length gray hair. And now, they are actually smiling in the direction of Itona, but this smile is too creepy, as if it has been sharply punctured in the heart, it is extremely weird. Suddenly, the front one moved, she opened her mouth, or the mouthparts were more appropriate, this is by no means a human organ, this mouth, from the corner of the mouth to the root of the ear, as if someone had torn it open, so when they closed their mouths, it would give people the illusion of a smile, inside this bloody mouth, the pitch-black mouth with two rows of dense fangs, she was screaming, grinning this mouth, this cry was like the cry of a young child, but it was more piercing and disgusting. As she screamed, more cries came from all around, they no longer continued to wait for an opportunity to snoop, their prey was in front of them, and now all they had to do was hunt!

Itina was not surprised by their appearance, she had learned about these existences as early as in the book, but she didn't expect their speed to be before those "lost", these old courtiers, peeps of the gods, "shadow attendants".

The first to roar seemed to be the leader of this group of shadow attendants, and only her face was not distorted, or more like a human, at first glance from a distance, there was actually a hazy feeling of a foreign girl, but these illusions were shattered the moment she opened her mouth and screamed, and all the shadow attendants resonated at the same time, under the shroud, their hands were like dry rattans, but each palm had long fingers like sharp claws, and so did the bare feet. Below the neck, the skin covered by the corpse cloth can be faintly seen, and the dark black scales are all over it. They clenched their palms, their claws piercing into their skin, and bright red blood flowed out, evaporating as soon as the blood touched the air, and a pungent fishy smell came.

However, from the very beginning, Iona just sat in the car and watched them quietly, she had never heard of their existence only in books and from the mouth of her boss, and today was the first time she had witnessed these strangeness that even time had forgotten.

"It's just a bunch of monsters who have lost themselves, who only know how to follow their instincts, and who are always worthy of being servants of fate." Iona whispered.

As if hearing what she said, the leader screamed and raised his hand, and the shadow attendant behind him was like an arrow, and his sharp claws locked onto Itona in the car.

But at this time, she was fiddling with her earlobes, and her earrings were entangled with the headphone cable. The shadow attendant who rushed out was extremely fast, and it took less than five seconds to break through to Iona in front of him.

Finally got the headphones in order, I knew I shouldn't have worn such long earrings, or changed to wireless headphones? Itina thought to herself, and then stepped on the accelerator, turned around, and aimed at the shadow attendant in front of her, the acceleration of 100 kilometers per hour of this Veneno could be completed in less than two seconds, and when the two sides were hedged, the speed was unexpectedly equal.

"Five seconds, four seconds..."Itina also counted down in her mind at the same time as she accelerated, "One second!" At the last second, Iona suddenly braked sharply, hitting the direction to the bottom, and the car spun up, and the shadow attendant in front of him crashed into the rear of the car, and the shadow attendant in the rear was also thrown out because he didn't have time to turn.

Iona observed the fallen shadow attendant, and when she made contact, she clearly heard the sound of metal colliding. It's not that they're too late, it's that they don't need it, the bones of these shadow servants are simply hard.

"A veritable monster, even if it's me, I only have a chance to escape, but today, I have a reason why I can't leave no matter what." Itina glanced at the quiet phone on the dashboard, and there was no new message. Tsk~, smacked his tongue a little helplessly. "It's really an unscrupulous boss, and at this time, I was still left alone here, tsk~, I don't understand the pity at all, it's still a big beauty like me."

Once again, the Shadow Attendants took on the pose of hunters, only this time, it was all Iona had seen.
