Chapter 27: Hunting and Counter-Hunting
On the twentieth floor of the building, which was once a huge revolving restaurant, is now in shambles.
Shi Yan and the others came to the revolving restaurant, cautiously walked out of the door, and only took a few steps to the middle, Shi Yan stopped.
The center of the revolving restaurant. Lots of clutter piled up. The debris was covered with a lot of dry, soft hay.
In front of the haystack, dripping with blood, were the remains of several corpses, one of which was still relatively fresh and covered with gnawing marks.
Shi Yan quickly told everyone about the situation, and when everyone heard it, their expressions were even more solemn, and everyone was on guard.
Seeing that there were no monsters near the haystack, Shi Yan led everyone to the center of the revolving restaurant.
The hay pushes several skeletons in front of them, three of which are humanoid, apparently human corpses, and one is the corpse of a dog.
The awakened person who knew Wei Laosan immediately stepped forward to inspect several corpses, and suddenly pointed to one of the corpses and said, "This is Wei Laosan." ”
Everyone is silent, the Awakened are a high-ranking existence in human society, but on the front line of fighting monsters, many times they will become a corpse.
Wu Chi stepped forward to the haystack, touching, looking, and smelling, trying to identify what kind of monster it was.
But in the end he shook his head, indicating that he did not recognize it.
Several Awakened took turns stepping forward and touching the haystacks, and the head of the Lu family was among them.
But in the end, everyone shook their heads.
"Let's wait here for the monster to come back and kill him, so we can avenge our companions." One of the Awakened suggested.
Everyone has no objections, and no one is worried, after all, there are so many awakened people here, no one thinks that monsters have anything to be afraid of, and there is also a second-level evolution powerhouse here.
Many people looked at the head of the Lu family, if they wanted to hunt monsters, they must have a personal organization, so as not to go their own way.
And the head of the Lu family, who is a second-level evolutionary powerhouse, is the most suitable candidate.
For Shi Yan, there are still many people who don't believe that he is a second-level evolutionary.
Everyone is grateful to him for getting them out of trouble, and it's up to him to get them out of the Grey Mist, but in the world of the Awoken, that's not enough.
In the world of the strong, only the strong can be respected, and Shi Yan still can't get their respect.
The head of the Lu family raised his head slightly, he had been aggrieved a lot during this time, and he had a feeling of raising his eyebrows at this time.
"Okay, let's hunt monsters here, let's divide the work and listen to my assignment." The head of the Lu family regained his self-confidence as the captain.
"Li Gang, you take two people to guard the door."
"Wang Shuo, you take two people to guard the back."
"Xie Qin, you lead someone to guard the left."
"Li Fan, you lead someone to guard the right."
After all, as the head of the family. For the organization and arrangement of the war, it is easy to know.
"As for Brother Shi, it's better to avoid it, fighting monsters is not a child playing with mud, in case Brother Shi has three long and two short, then we...
The head of the Lu family said a few words, firstly, to belittle Shi Yan's young unreliable, and secondly, to exclude him from the next battle in the name of protection.
But the words of the head of the Lu family obviously captured everyone's psychology, and now everyone is counting on Shi Yan to take them out of the Gray Mist Region, in case he hangs up in the next battle, then aren't everyone trapped again?
Everyone agreed, it's just a monster, can't they deal with a dozen of their awakened people? There is no need for Shi Yan to participate in the war at all.
As for saying that Shi Yan is a second-level evolutionary powerhouse, except for a few people who believe it, most people scoff at it.
It takes time to adapt and consolidate between the first and second evolutions, and the interval between them is at least three years, how old is this teenager? It's a second-level evolution?
The generally accepted age of evolution is eighteen years, which is to let the body grow and shape before it begins to evolve, which not only increases the resistance to mutation in evolution, but also allows the body to be in the best condition at this time and can withstand more evolutionary risks.
Of course, it's not that there are no younger evolutionaries, it is rumored that in some top forces, there are some geniuses who are cultivated with all their might, and they undergo a second evolution at a younger age, but that's just a legend, who has seen it?
The head of the Lu family sneered in his heart, how could a little P child command such a big thing as fighting monsters? Now he kicked him away in a few words.
Fight me?
The head of the Lu family was refreshed for a while, and the depression during this time was swept away.
This is actually the thinking of most awakened people.
After all, monster warfare is such a life-and-death event, and people are still willing to believe in an experienced master like the head of the Lu family.
Shi Yan didn't say anything, there was a small restaurant next to the big restaurant, just go in to rest.
And Wu Chi and Hu Qing were arranged to protect him, Wu Chi was too close to him, the head of the Lu family obviously didn't like it, so he simply left, and Hu Qing was too young and timid to be useless, so they were all sent to Shi Yan's side.
More than two hours have passed, and the monster has not returned, and everyone is very patient and does not make any sound.
After another half hour, a red shadow flashed through the back door.
But the head of the Lu family and the other awakened people didn't notice it, their vision was restricted by the gray mist.
Guarding the back door were Wang Shuo and the other two awakened ones, their eyes wide open, trying to stare at the layers of gray mist.
But no matter how hard they try, they can always see only a few meters away.
Suddenly, in the gray mist, the red shadow flashed, Wang Shuo was startled, his hand was just halfway raised, a sharp claw was already pressed on his chest, and his whole person was thrown out by a huge force.
Wang Shuo, seriously injured.
The other two Awakened roared, striking from side to side, and the red shadow retreated and disappeared into the gray mist.
The two rushed over, but they saw only a gray mist, where could they see a red shadow?
When the two of them were hesitating, a red shadow flashed from the left, and a claw hit the awakened one on the left, and he was instantly knocked away.
The remaining awakened person was horrified, and a flame attacked the red shadow, who knew that the red shadow flashed to the side and disappeared into the gray mist.
The Awoken was screaming frantically, "Come on, come and bite me." Flames erupted indiscriminately in all directions.
After screaming for more than half a minute, and the flames released were much weaker, the awakened person calmed down, his eyes staring closely at the gray mist in front of him, and his hands were ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
Quiet, too quiet, except for the gray mist rolling in front of me, there was no sound.
Poof, it seemed that the sound of water droplets falling to the ground, the awakened person felt his scalp tingle, and turned around suddenly, and there was a red monster behind him.
The monster was erect, resembling an ape, with a sharp beak on the cheeks, but it had a large mouth with thick and sharp fangs, and a snake-shaped thing sticking out of the mouth.
What is it? That was the last thought of the Awoken, and the serpentine shot out like lightning, plunging deep into the Awoken's forehead.
The Awoken's eyes rolled, their mouth opened, their throats made the sound of being pinched by their necks, and the blood on their foreheads crawled down like earthworms.
The backdoor awakened all fell, but it didn't attract the attention of the others, the revolving restaurant was too big, and it was hindered by the gray fog, and the other awakened couldn't see or hear the backdoor.
The arrangement of the Lord of the Lu family is fine in other circumstances, but there is a big problem in the gray fog, due to the long distance, they can't see and hear each other, and they have become their own battles.
It's not that no one notices this problem, but the head of the Lu family doesn't have a better solution, or everyone can get together, but this is not conducive to hunting monsters.
So under the trade-off, they still used the method of scattered ambushes, and in the past, they were also two or three awakened people who surrounded a monster, and they were invincible.
Even if the monster is more powerful this time, it should be fine, which is also the idea of most awakened people.
But the presence of the gray mist changed all that, and the awakened could only see a few meters away, which was half blind.
With the strength of the monster, a few meters passed in an instant, and most of the awakened people didn't have time to react at all.
This makes the difference between victory and defeat.
It is precisely because of the presence of the gray fog that the roles of hunters and prey begin to reverse.
