Chapter 12: The Crystal Chameleon

Hearing Bi Falcon say this, Bian Diewu's originally crimson face appeared angry, and said, "Captain Bi, Ling Xun is my friend, and he is also my teammate who fought side by side against [Eclipse Nightmare]. ”

After a pause, her voice became even colder, and she said, "I meet with a friend, I don't need to report to you, right?" ”

Bian Diewu said this, but her cheeks showed a bright flush because of anger, and Ling Xun and Bi Falcon were stunned by that beauty.

Then, Bi Falcon's face was cold, staring at Ling Xun, and he said sharply: "Hmph......, the coward who will only stand behind the woman will let you go this time." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the staircase, just took two steps, as if he was angry and unsettled, turned sideways slightly, sneered, and said, "A timid guy like a rat like you often has a hard time surviving when the Kuroshio Tide comes. ”

Ling Xun's heart jumped, and he vaguely felt that Bi Falcon's words meant something, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition.

"Ling Xun, I'm sorry, because I've been involved in you, I'll go find you and Gu Hui when I'm free......" Bian Diewu hurriedly said a few words, and then quickly went downstairs.

Ling Xun didn't care, he understood that Bian Diewu was in a hurry now.

Half an hour laterβ€”

Gu Hui suddenly received an order from the commander in charge that the law enforcement reserve team needed to return to the team quickly, and at the same time, Bi Falcon also led the team and left quickly.

Thinking of what Bi Falcon said before, Ling Xun felt that something was more and more wrong.

"The beads of the [cross handle] are still seven or eight [Eclipse Nightmares] before they can be filled. At this time, don't come out with any moths......"

Walking on the way home, Ling Xun frowned, this feeling of being a distance away from success was inexplicably irritating.

"It's the first time I've been home at noon in so many days...... so let's go back and rest first......

With a sigh, Ling Xun tightened the windbreaker on his body, and he could vaguely see the outline of the small bungalow in the distance.

Call......

Suddenly, in the alley on his side, a gust of wind blew through the collar of his windbreaker, and Ling Xun shivered with cold.

"Why is the wind so cold...... Ling Xun's eyes jumped.

It's September, and under normal circumstances, the weather in Fengyao City is still quite hot, even if the [Eclipse Fog] on the outskirts of the city hits, there is still some temperature during the day, especially now, it's just after noon.

Wrong!?

Ling Xun was immediately alert, leaned towards the lamppost behind him, staring at the alley that didn't shine much light, and his special vision unfolded.

At this time, the morning drizzle had stopped, the ground was very damp, and in the dim alley on the side, there was a sound like the sound of a heavy object falling into a puddle.

"There's something there, could it be the [Eclipse Nightmare]......"

Cold sweat oozed from Ling Xun's forehead, and he secretly blamed himself, he was too distracted to think about things just now, and he didn't even pay attention to his surroundings.

...... uproar, a window in the alley fell, the glass shattered to the ground, and the cold wind came out from inside, blowing over, making Ling Xun feel a burst of coolness.

"This window ......, is that Mr. Zhou's shop......

Ling Xun remembered that the back door of the daily necessities store on the street was opened in this alley.

Then, in the special field of vision, Ling Xun saw a figure staggering around, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On this figure, there were no features of [Eclipse] erosion, neither bloodshot and angry eyeballs, nor limb mutations, nor did Ling Xun feel the aura of danger.

Is it the resident on the street...... maybe I know it, Ling Xun then saw the appearance of this person clearly.

This is a middle-aged woman, her skin is a little dark, but it is smooth, and her face is covered with a thick layer of powder, but her hair is a little dry, and her eyes are lacking in brightness.

"Mrs. Gao......"

Ling Xun recognized the woman, who was a resident of the same street, and her husband, Mr. Gao, had opened a daily necessities store on the street, and before the [Eclipse Mist] appeared, the business of that shop was quite good.

In Ling Xun's memory, there were some problems with the goods in that store, and according to Lan Xing's words, they were fake and shoddy goods.

However, the income of suburban settlements is generally not high, which also contributes to the booming sales of these counterfeit and shoddy goods.

Ling Xun himself is a frequent customer of daily necessities stores.

This Mrs. Gao, when she was young, should have accompanied her husband to endure a lot of hardships, and after she had money, she paid great attention to maintenance, but because of the hard work when she was young, she seemed to have hurt her body, and Mrs. Gao has never conceived a child, and she has always been the talk of others after tea and dinner on this street.

However, the reason why Ling Xun has a deep impression of this Mrs. Gao is that she raised a chameleon.

A crystal chameleon, a special species in this world, can not only change with the environment, this chameleon's real leather, like crystal, is like a work of art.

In the memory of inheriting the original body, Ling Xun clearly remembered that the first time he went to Mrs. Gao's daily necessities store, he watched the crystal chameleon for a long time.

"Mrs. Gao, why are you still on the street and haven't entered the city?" Ling Xun asked, leaning back against the pillar of the street lamp, holding the [Yao Neng Dagger] in his pocket, and did not let his guard down.

He was very strange, Mrs. Gao's daily necessities store was quite profitable, and this one should have left the suburbs of the city as soon as the [Eclipse Mist] emerged and bought a pass to enter the city.

"Into the City ......"

On Mrs. Gao's face, a weird smile appeared, her lips squirmed, and she didn't open them, but she spat out a hoarse voice, "That damn thing surnamed Gao, together with that bitch, took away all the coins and valuable things, and the child born by that bitch is already five years old." This bastard surnamed Gao has been hiding from me......"

Ling Xun was silent, and did not relax his vigilance at all because of the tragic experience that Mrs. Gao said.

"Mrs. Gao, even so, you shouldn't be here. The suburbs are dangerous now......" Ling Xun said, moving his footsteps and keeping his distance from Mrs. Gao.

"Yes! The outskirts of the city are very dangerous now, and that bastard surnamed Gao still left me like this, he is a ...... animal."

Mrs. Gao's voice was sharp, but strangely, her lips never opened, but she let out a high-pitched roar.

An inexplicable strange feeling spread from Ling Xun's heart, and he realized that something was wrong with Mrs. Gao, although on her body, he didn't see any trace of the [Eclipse Nightmare], but it was just very wrong.

"Mrs. Gao, if it's okay, I'll go first." Ling Xun gradually stepped back, his eyes fixed on Mrs. Gao.

"Go, where to go? You negative men......" Mrs. Gao's voice suddenly became hoarse, and her godless eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Ling Xun tightly.

I'm not a man......, I'm still a teenager, a child ......, Ling Xun said secretly.

Immediately after, he saw a scene of numbness on his scalp, and the thick powder on Mrs. Gao's face began to fall off, peeling off along with the skin and flesh on her face.

Wisps of black and gray mist seeped out little by little from Mrs. Gao's bloody face.

Then, Mrs. Gao's mouth opened, and the corners of her mouth suddenly tore, like a long tongue sticking out, and she roared, "You can't go anywhere......"

Ling Xun's eyes narrowed, and in his special vision, the scene he saw was even more terrifying.

On that long snake-like tongue, there was a crystal-like chameleon, and on its back, there was an invisible [Eclipse], and a small translucent figure had squeezed into the chameleon's body.

This scene made Ling Xun feel terrified, he didn't expect that a [Eclipse Nightmare] would appear in this way.

It turned out that through the flesh and blood, ......the special vision could not find the body of the [Eclipse Nightmare], this discovery made Ling Xun frightened, only to realize that in the past two days, he had overly believed in the use of the special vision, which made his vigilance decrease.

Such laxity is too deadly!

Sou!

With a flower in front of him and a long tongue, the crystal chameleon suddenly disappeared, and a hurried voice sounded.

Ling Xun's heart was beating wildly, and without hesitation, he turned over, rolled to the side, and leaned against the wall on the side of the street.

...... snapped, a clear claw mark appeared on the ground where he was standing just now, which was the claw of the crystal chameleon.

At this time, if there were other people around, they could only see a paw-print-like indentation on the ground out of thin air, revealing a thick weirdness.

However, in Ling Xun's special vision, he could clearly see that the crystal chameleon, which had been eroded by the [Eclipse Nightmare], sprang out at lightning speed and dealt him a blow head-on.

If Ling Xun hadn't been vigilant enough to dodge at the first time, his body might have been pierced this time.

"If this is replaced by someone else, even if it is a cultivation of Yao Neng physical skills, it may not be able to avoid this blow."

At this moment, Ling Xun once again realized that the terrifying thing about [Eclipse Nightmare] was that the creatures it corrupted would produce different mutations according to their own characteristics, and strengthen their original abilities.

The eroded crystal chameleon, in the eyes of others, is as terrifying as an invisible killer.

"You can't get entangled with this monster in an open place like ...... street"

His thoughts raced, Ling Xun leaned his back against the wall, moved quickly, turned sharply, and burrowed into the alley on one side.

Just as Ling Xun turned into the alley, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and with a bang, the crystal chameleon actually rushed straight up, using its sharp claws to pierce a gap in the corner of the wall.

"Hiss......"

In the alley, I saw a chameleon that was almost transparent, and the leather shimmered, swallowing its tongue and claws like metal, flying in the air.

In the dim light, the crystal chameleon's bulging eyes, blood-red, full of violence, turned rapidly, looking for traces of prey.

Then, it quickly locked onto the front, and the figure of a young man behind the wall stood there quietly, how could there be the embarrassment of desperately escaping just now.

Ling Xun got into the alley, just to use the cover of the corner of the wall to fight back.

"Is it now!?"

Immediately, with a wave of Ling Xun's arm, the [Yao Neng Sand] that had long been held in the palm of his hand was thrown out, and a black powder that shimmered golden light rose up, sprinkling the crystal chameleon on his head and covering his face.

Suddenly, there was a strange scream in the alley, and the crystal chameleon fell from mid-air, churning painfully on the ground, with light smoke constantly floating on its body, and its blood-red eyes also pierced several holes, from which blood oozed blood.

In Ling Xun's field of vision, not only was the crystal chameleon howling in pain, but the invisible figure on its body was also covered with molten holes all over its body, struggling in pain.

"Thankfully, the creatures that have been corrupted by the [Eclipse] don't have many brains......"

Ling Xun muttered in a low voice, but he didn't stop, and with a wave of the [Yao Neng Dagger] in his hand, he used all his strength to slash down diagonally.

In the alley, a bright light flashed, and the [Yao Neng Dagger] first cut off the head of the palm-sized chameleon, and at the same time, it also slashed across its back, revealing most of its invisible [Eclipse Nightmare].
