The heavy rain had long since stopped when Xia Ke was surrounded by fear, and there was still standing water on the sidewalks on both sides of the road. The stagnant water reflects the light in the light and reflects the swaying shadows of the branches.

Xia Ke walked to the door of the hotel in clean clothes, and the borrowed weapon was wrapped around her wrist, as long as this chain was there, the breath of Yuan Li on her body would not leak. She stood on the top of the steps, peeled off the candy wrappers and stuffed them into her mouth.

The familiar strawberry flavor fills the entire mouth at once.

Speaking of which, she hadn't eaten strawberries for a long time, and she hadn't eaten strawberry-related food for a long time. I don't know when it started, and I don't know why, she doesn't like strawberries for some reason.

However, who would have thought that the strawberry flavor she had rejected so many times would now return to her taste system. Or in a gesture of comforter.

Uncle Candy is right, sweets can indeed relieve people's tension and sadness, at least, she is now standing in the night, and her body is no longer trembling.

The process of staying in the hotel and waiting for news was too long, and the driver's uncle told her not to go out at night, if it was before, she would definitely stay in the room honestly.

But now...... Not anymore.

Holding the handle of the umbrella in one hand and in his pocket with the other, Xia Ke looked up at the sky, and there was not a single star. Then she sighed, before leaving, she had already sent a text message to Liang Zhousheng, and also stuffed the note into his room, hoping that if he returned to the hotel alive and saw the note, he would not worry about her.

Lowering his head and raising his feet, Xia Ke jumped down the steps one step at a time, and then walked into the dim light and night without looking head.

There is no horror on the street like Xia Ke's own brain, no drunken uncle in the middle of the night, and no sneaky tailgator. There are many small stalls on the streets, some people sit on the stalls to eat supper, and some people squat on the side of the street and smoke.

The lights were warmer than she had imagined, and the air after the rain was no longer dull as before.

The scent of grass crept into her nose, mixed with the smell of roast lamb and cumin pepper noodles.

The mutton stall owners shouted something in pure Xinjiang and Inner Mongolian dialect in front of the stall, and there were locals and tourists in front of the stall. Xia Ke stood in front of the bus stop, her eyes swept over the row of mutton stalls, and then took a big sniff of the mutton.

Although the strawberry flavor and the mutton flavor are mixed together to form a taste that can only be described as strange, Xia Ke always has a shallow smile on his face.

She felt that there was not much Yuan Force left in the air, compared to the previous thickness, the Yuan Force after a heavy rain was almost pitiful. However, Xia Ke was smiling and perceiving these yuan forces, compared to the previous thick yuan forces, such a shallow yuan force should be left behind by old fritters like Gao Yuxin.

What's more, there is another feeling of Yuan Force in this.

Whether it is Gao Yuxin's Yuanli or another unfamiliar Yuanli, the starting point is the hotel. In other words, when she was following Gao Yuxin, someone was following her. But others are smarter than her, not only did they not follow her stupidly, but they also chose the right direction.

Glancing nostalgically at the white smoke of the mutton skewers, Xia Ke took advantage of the green light to quickly cross the road.

Following the remnants of the two Yuan Forces, Xia Ke quickly turned from the bustling street into a long side street.

There is only one street lamp on the entire side street, and only a few lights are lit on the residential buildings on both sides of the side street. The light of the street lamp is a little dim, as if the wattage is not enough, and it can only illuminate a small area.

Xia Ke strode towards the other end of the road, her own footsteps were light and silent, and the only sound in the whole alley was the rustle of the passing wind blowing the leaves. The darkness around her enveloped her, and she bit the candy bar in her mouth. She had already eaten the candy when she first entered the alley, and now she was the only one that she had bitten into her mouth to alleviate her fear.

Even if she was ready to confront those primordial demons, she was still afraid of this kind of dark place where she couldn't see her surroundings. She thought about using her phone's flashlight, but using this in the dark undoubtedly exposed her existence. If you are targeted by others because of this, it will be worth the loss......

The pace under her feet became faster and faster, and just as she was about to reach the street lamp, Xia Ke's right foot that had just been lifted out was suddenly withdrawn, and at the same time, the Yuan Force in her hand quickly gathered together, and a shield blocked her back.

"Boom!"

The sound of blades slamming against the shield sounded behind her, and Xia Ke didn't look back at all, but took two quick steps forward before turning back.

The shield broke away from Xia Ke's hand, and at the same time lost the support of Xia Ke's Yuan Force, and fell to the ground at once, and then slowly dissipated.

"Pretty clever, little girl."

The figure stepped out of the darkness and appeared in the dim light of the streetlamp, the light shining on the side of his face, a face that was almost twisted together.

The skin on the right side of the man's face was constricted as if it had been burned, especially at the corners of his mouth and eyes. The man appeared with a smile, and that face frightened Xia Ke to take two steps back.

Seeing Xia Ke's obvious retreat movement, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the man's eyes.

"Yuan Demon?" Xia Ke was still holding the umbrella in her right hand, and the candy stick in her mouth was not thrown away, she knew how nervous she was, but what she showed was a leisurely appearance of going out for a walk after the rain.

"Why, aren't you?" The man was about to step forward, but Xia Ke moved before him.

Xia Ke took two quick steps, and then stood across from the man. This distance allows her to see the man's face more clearly, and she can be more sure that the man's face has been burned.

Even though she took two steps forward, Xia Ke still kept what she thought was a safe distance from the man.

The man saw Xia Ke's movements, and he didn't advance or retreat for a while, and his feet still maintained the posture of stepping, but his body didn't move forward.

"You're a native here?" Xia Ke continued to ask, it is possible to distinguish between a Yuan Demon and an Exorcist from the Yuan Force, but if Xia Ke's Yuan Force is covered, then there is no way to tell whether she is a Yuan Demon or an Yuan Exorcist.

Therefore, when the man asked this question, Xia Ke knew that there was no way for her identity. The man who suddenly appeared thought of her as if she were one of his kind.

"Of course, your face is raw, and your dress is not what it looks like here. So outsider, when you came, didn't anyone tell you not to come out at night? ”

Xia Ke frowned, and said this sentence again. Don't go out at night, why on earth?

"Why?"

"It's really naïve Yuan Demon... The man tilted his head and laughed, his eyes staring at Xiake, who glanced at him, only to realize that the man's eyes were not normal black or tan, nor blue-green as foreigners would have, but a white-gray.

The white-gray eyes look very strange in the dark night, especially in the dim yellow light, like a person with cataracts.

"Naive? What one word do you use to describe me? Xia Ke shook his shoulders, "Have you ever seen a naïve person kill without blinking?" ”

thought that using the word killing without blinking could make a man face himself, but to Xia Ke's surprise, the man not only did not refute her, but showed a reasonable expression.

"Although I am very young, I don't look like anything to be messed with......" the man sighed, "but there is no way, who let it be night?" ”

"So?"

The man didn't answer Xia Ke's words, he glanced at Xia Ke's left hand with deep interest, "What is your Yuan Force?" ”

"You don't care what I am."

"Hey, hard-mouthed little girl, you don't want to say it now, I'll find out later. And that's the end of your life. The man said in an extremely confident tone, and at the same time stretched out his right hand forward, Xia Ke watched his right hand change from a hand to a knife, "Your Yuan Power also belongs to me." ”

Although he was surprised in his heart, Xia Ke didn't let himself show it. It was also the first time she had seen this kind of metallic Yuan Demon, and she heard that the previous gluttonous Tangshan was also metallic, but she herself only met with Tangshan, not to mention doing it, and even the number of times she moved her mouth was very small.

She didn't have much experience dealing with this type of Yuan Demon.

Anyone who has tried it knows that metal is a troublesome thing. What's even more troublesome is that her Yuan Power is generated by imagination. This kind of Yuan Force is only her, and if she uses it casually, it will be easy to reveal her identity.

"Before the end of your life, I want to tell you that as long as night falls, the entire Hebu County will be the hunting time of the Yuan Demon. We hunted the lone Yuan Demon, and we also hunted the passing Yuan Exorcists, so the night hunt began, little girl. ”

As soon as the man's words fell, his figure rushed towards Xia Ke, and at the same time, his arm turned into a big knife and slashed towards Xia Ke.

Looking at the man's approaching face, Xia Ke's mind turned rapidly. Men would have been suspicious of building shields before, so since that's the case......

A long whip suddenly appeared in Xia Ke's hand, and the long whip was thrown into the man's eyes by Xia Ke at the same time as it appeared, she was not sure what the man's weakness was, but those eyes, at first glance, were not good.

The long whip swept through the air and was caught by the man's big knife, and while the man reached out and grabbed the long whip, he cut it directly with a knife. Xia Ke saw the man's action, and his heart silently turned into air.

Just a second before the broadsword fell, the entire long whip was gone.
