Chapter 8: The Butcher of the Mist Beast

In the reflection of the car window, Cen Yu leaned back in his chair, his low-pressure peaked cap covered his eyes, and the sorrow permeated his body, until now, the strings that had been tight since the beginning of the disaster were loosened, the tragic death of the dean, the fire engulfed the children, and the previously suppressed grief broke out more violently at this moment, and he could only endure it silently by himself.

The scenery outside the window turns, the gloomy sky, the lush mountains, and occasionally one or two towns can be seen, and the mediocre crowds come and go, which makes this cold world a little more fireworks.

......

"Travelers, H City North Station has arrived, please bring..."

The voice broadcast on the radio brought Cen Yu back to reality, he put his hat on, his previous fragile expression was well hidden, and the true gentle look returned to his face.

The earthquake occurred in a small town in the district of H city, and the fire on the outskirts of X city, without warning, the last second was still calm, the next second the mountain shook, and the fire will spread differently, the power of nature is reflected in an instant, the old self-built houses of those small town residents could not resist a moment and collapsed, in the ruins, this town with a population of about 20,000 sank in that bloody night.

And at the moment, this miserable town, like the suburbs of X City, is surrounded by the army, and the media can only interview some of the victims who have been rescued from the rubble on the periphery of the cordon.

Since it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the night of early autumn was around six o'clock, that is, there was only less than an hour left before the active period of the fog beast, Cen Yu took a taxi, looked at the map cognitively, and chose to get off not far from the town.

......

As the afterglow of the setting sun slowly faded, the camp where the army was stationed began to permeate a solemn atmosphere, after two days of exploration, the official has roughly figured out the activity law of the fog beasts, in the daytime fog beasts generally hide in the ruins, unless there is prey sent to the door, otherwise it will not come out, but once it is night, all the fog beasts will be active, and begin to wander in the ruins, just like hunters start hunting in the hunting ground.

And what's worse is that since last night, there have been fog beasts trying to leave the ruins as if they were fleeing, but fortunately, the rescue team found out in time and killed the fog beast when it was about to get out of the ruins, and there may be more fog beasts trying to escape tonight, so the military side is extremely prepared and prepared for the worst to meet the impact of the fog beast.

And Cen Yu didn't know these details, he stood not far from the town, looking at the ruins shrouded in the hazy moonlight, his eyes flashed, and his whole body turned into ashes, and then the ashes condensed into a tanuki cat and walked towards the town.

......

Cen Yu took advantage of the night to enter the town, and the entire ruins were filled with the smell of blood, but it was not the smell of human blood that he was familiar with, but the smell of fog beasts, it seemed that there was quite an interesting thing happening here.

......

"You wait here for a while, I'll be back in a while..."

On the pile of rocks, a fog beast with only black dry bones left in its arms whispered softly to the air around him, picked up the boning knife that left a little black flesh at his feet, his strong and powerful body was stained with the blood of the fog beast, and turned around and walked towards the place where the fog beast roared not far away, and his silent figure slowly blended into the dark night.

The two fog beasts that were fighting not far away were still entangled at the moment, and there were no more living people in the entire town, only a few dozen fog beasts were still lingering in the ruins.

A moment later, a fog beast with horns was even better, and after the black mist on the fog beast that was torn to pieces submerged into its body, it gasped, and several patterns began to appear on the horns on the top of its head, and the forelimbs of its entire body were slightly thickened, and the muscles of its back were knotted.

And just as it was about to leave, a knife slashed from behind obliquely, and the huge force directly slashed it to the ground, black blood sprayed out like a burst water pipe, and before it could fight back, a withered skeleton palm grabbed its horns, and a calm voice sounded.

"Hmm... Good beef, I hope the oranges will like it..."

The next moment, the Horned Mist Beast was pressed to the ground fiercely, the violent force smashed the ground out of the web-like cracks, wordless fear filled its heart, it began to struggle desperately, the wide palm of the alienated into hooves flew forward, but the next moment, a huge force came from behind, it was trampled on the ground and could not move, a clean knife, its head was cut off, in the last few seconds of consciousness disappeared, it saw the figure clearly, a butcher with a boning knife in both hands, looking at it with the eyes of food.

"The knife is rolled again..."

The butcher fog beast grinds the boning knife on his arm, and the black bone powder stains the surface of the knife, making this murder weapon even more weird. After doing all this, it waved its hand, and the black mist that had not entered its body appeared in the palm of its hand, and at this moment it muttered with joy and a little happiness.

"Wonderful ingredients, oranges will definitely love..."

Then, it carried the boning knife and walked towards another place where the mist beast was fighting. And five or six minutes after it left, Cen Yu also came here, looking at the fog beast in a different place, he was a little surprised, because from the appearance, this killed fog beast had already reached the stage where the larvae was about to evolve to the secondary body, but it was so simply done, it seemed that the fog beast that was killing frantically was estimated to have reached the stage of the secondary body, and it was only high.

Cen Yu lifted the illusion, the rift on his body flickered, he began to feel excited, the madness and belligerence engraved in the bones of the fog beast continued to stimulate his soul, he decided to deal with the secondary body fog beast first, and then look to see if there were any aliens in this area.

The sound of the fog beast fighting not far away suddenly disappeared in an instant, Cen Yu didn't hesitate much, his whole body began to shine with dark red light, and then he quickly rushed there, he had a hunch that the secondary would be there.

......

The dry hand of the butcher fog beast pinched the face of a fog beast from the front, lifted it up, and the palm began to retract, and the fog beast that was still struggling in mid-air slowly stopped struggling with the sound of broken bones, and there were several black ghost-like fog beasts with no lower body around the butcher fog beast tearing another fog beast in a daze, and for a moment, only the butcher fog beast was left muttering to himself.

"Ingredients for good times..."

And at this moment, Cen Yu, who had arrived at full speed, stopped not far from the butcher fog beast, this was the first time he had seen a fog beast that had maintained most of its human form like him, and with some expectation, he asked.

"Dude, you used to be a butcher too, didn't you? Or a cook?"

The butcher fog beast had just finished chopping the fog beast, and instead of showing Cen Yu its knife skills for the first time, he sharpened his knife as before, and replied casually.

"I don't remember before... I'm just looking for ingredients for my wife right now..."

Hearing this, Cen Yu's expectation came to an abrupt end, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face with only two eyes left, but thinking about it at this moment, his heart must be more complicated, and at this time, the butcher fog beast naturally carried the sharpened boning knife and put it on the right side of his body, staring at Cen Yu with the crazy eyes of the glutton, and said politely.

"I don't have enough ingredients... Can you help..."

"Soon, it just takes... It's a simple knife! ”
