There aren't many people in the town, and even fewer witchers.

The people who stayed at the headquarters were the witchers who were on vacation, and most of the witchers inside were outside, leaving their families here because they believed it was the safest place.

And now, there are very few lives left in the entire town, and those ordinary people are definitely not included among them.

Most of the venom has returned to Sully's body, and the rest is crawling back.

Sully noticed that Venom's consciousness did not appear to be independent.

Sully released the venom separately, and when Sully ordered them to return, each part of the venom changed to a different limb for walking.

Some grow spider-like arthropods, some change into tentacles like octopuses, and some simply crawl on the ground like slimes, with different speeds.

It was also the first time that Sully noticed this phenomenon.

Recall the order he gave earlier - come back!

He just let Venom come back, and didn't give clearer orders, so Venom would move in various ways.

Does this mean that Venom has the ability to think independently, and is not only a consciousness?

Venom should be a group consciousness, a 'group', a consciousness.

So, is this phenomenon good or bad? Is it true that the greater the amount of venom aggregates, the higher the IQ?

Sally put these doubts aside for the time being, because, after devouring the humans in the town, the blood mist around Sally did not dissipate, but became more and more dense.

Sally looked at the blood mist around him that was rapidly declining in visibility, and the vigilance in his heart was the highest, these blood mist not only affected his vision, but also affected Sally's perception.

Even if Sally uses the increase in Dou Qi now, his visibility is less than ten meters, and his perception can't go beyond the shroud of blood mist (it's impossible to know how far he can perceive, his perception is full of blood-colored mist.) ）

Time passed, and Sally was suddenly stunned.

Then he turned his head and looked behind him.

Bill just stood behind Sully, not asking. There was no movement either, so Sully didn't bother with him.

Bill was shocked when he saw Sully suddenly turn his head, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Sally was stunned when he heard Bill's voice, and suddenly said, "Do you have any strange feelings?"

"No, it's just cool in here. Bill said cautiously.

At this time, Bill had returned to his normal form, with a body of 1.8 meters and a thin and small body. Although he returned to his normal form, Bill's vigilance did not relax at all. He wanted to maintain his fighting form all the time, but if he really kept doing that, when he really encountered a crisis, he probably wouldn't have the strength to resist.

So on the trade-off, Bill decided to change back first.

"Hmm!" Sally replied, then turned again.

The reason why he suddenly turned around just now was because he had suddenly absorbed a trace of magic liquid, which was probably only one unit.

For the current Sally, there is really not much magic liquid in one unit, and if it is normal times, Sally may not be able to feel the magic liquid of one unit absorbed. But at this time, Sully was extremely vigilant and sensitive, and easily sensed the 'unknown magic liquid' of this one unit.

Of the liquid that was still exposed, only Sally and Bill had been recovered.

Moreover, Sally had just sensed that the unit's magic liquid was indeed coming from the venom on Bill's body.

That's why Sully suddenly turned around. At that time, his first reaction was that Venom devoured Bill without his orders.

While Sally was thinking, another unit of liquid flowed into his body.

This time it wasn't the venom from Bill, but the venom that covered his body.

"Could it be?" Sally suddenly thought of something.

Immediately, without pause, he directly began to verify this conjecture.

Suddenly, the venom on Sally's body grew more than a dozen long tentacles, each tentacle was about two or three meters, the thickness of a finger, and it was constantly shaking in the air, like willow branches swaying in the wind.

The tentacles continued to increase, and in a short time they densely covered Sally's body.

Although Bill behind him didn't know why Sully suddenly grew so many tentacles like a tentacle monster, he didn't speak.

For a moment, feeling the familiar sensation coming back from the tentacles, Sally felt a pang in his heart.

"Sure enough!" said Sally.

Sully made the venom transform into so many tentacles, and it was still swaying in the air, just to test his suspicions.

It is impossible for the magic liquid to come from him, let alone generate it out of thin air, so there is only one possibility - blood mist!

And the experiment just now really proved Sally's conjecture.

The magic liquid is indeed absorbed from the mist in the air.

He had created so many tentacles in order to maximize the contact area between the venom and the air.

Thinking of the way the blood mist devoured humans, the speculation in Sally's mind began to take shape.

Compared with the way that the white mist devours humans, the blood mist is undoubtedly more 'down-to-earth'.

If you have to compare, it is that the white mist belongs to the 'energy attack', and the blood mist belongs to the 'physical attack'.

Yes, although the blood mist's devouring method of making people's flesh corrode and turn into blood-colored vapor is even more terrifying and terrifying, it is precisely because of this that Sully will say that it is a physical attack.

The ability of the white mist to make people gradually disappear in their sleep cannot be explained by Sally, but the ability of the blood mist can.

"Microbes!"

Blood Mist and White Mist should be the same type of creature from the outside, but in reality, the nature of the two is different.

Energy Attack (Dou Qi) is more effective against White Mist, while Dou Qi has less effect on Blood Mist, on the contrary, Blood Mist cannot erode venom.

Judging from the magic liquid absorbed by Sally, the blood mist that wanted to erode the venom was swallowed by the venom.

However, the effect of venom on energy attack is not obvious, so, in this way, the essence of blood mist should be an aggregate of physical creatures like venom, a physical object, rather than a more ethereal energy body.

Although it wasn't Venom who broke away from Sully's control and acted on his own, this incident reminded Sully that Venom's IQ was improving.

Never before has Venom actively absorbed the target's Ichor and passed it on to him without Sally's orders.

Does this mean that Venom can independently judge what is beneficial, so it sends the signal to Sally in the hope that Sally will take the initiative to absorb it. So, when Venom's IQ is further improved, will he directly skip this step and directly make judgments on certain things?

If he did get to that point, it wasn't him controlling Venom. Venom is no longer a mere tool.

The reason for this change is unknown, but Sully feels a strong sense of crisis, and he decides that after the blood mist has passed, he must first find out about it
