"Meow—"

In the dark.

A huge black cat, as large as a lion, swift as a leopard, light as a swallow, and with a cheerful cry like a child, shuttled quickly between the woods.

On its back, a figure clung to it, undulating along the ups and downs of the huge black cat's body.

The three slender tails swayed with the strong wind generated when running, making its body more stable and running faster.

This person and a cat are naturally Li Chang'an, who has left the main city of Yangcheng, and the little phantom ink shadow three-tailed civet cat.

"Take it easy."

Li Changan, who was clinging to Xiao Phantom, had a stiff face, and his expression was a little unnatural.

It's the first time I've been in this way, especially the little fantasy that is running like a happy one, which makes his stomach go up and down now, and it's a little uncomfortable. Z.br>

"Meow~~"

Hearing this, the little guy who had become huge with the help of the "Ink Shadow" skill laughed and gradually slowed down.

Its size at the moment is the result of several attempts on the "Ink Shadow" skill.

In fact, when he saw the skill of "Ink Shadow" for the first time and learned that it could make a certain degree of body adjustment while changing his body, Li Changan had the idea of using Xiao Phantom as a temporary sit-up.

Since Fei Chengqing can use his six-tailed spirit fox to adjust his body shape through special abilities as a mount.

The little illusion after the "phantom" progressed to the "ink shadow" can theoretically be done.

After several attempts.

Xiao Phantom can now change into the appearance and size of the original phantom cat, lying on Li Changan's shoulder.

It can also be transformed into its current appearance and used as a temporary mount.

It's just that it's the first time I've been in such a hurry.

Although the little guy ran happily, Li Changan was a little uncomfortable.

But he also had to admit that in fact, Xiao Phantom didn't have much bumps when he ran.

Its soft flesh pads and dexterous movements made Li Changan, who was leaning on its back, not feel much vibration.

It is...... There is always a feeling of flying in the sky.

Cough.

There are certain limits to the size changes brought about by the "Ink Shadow" skill.

First of all, whether it is smaller or larger, if you want to maintain the state, the rest of the skills cannot be used.

Secondly, the change in body shape also brings differences in weight, physical dexterity, coordination and other aspects, which will make Xiao Phantom unable to fully exert his due combat effectiveness.

All in all.

This only applies to the usual body cover-up, as well as to hurry.

But.

After Zou Hailin's covetousness of the little Phantom Ink Shadow three-tailed civet cat, Li Changan was vigilant.

When it is not necessary, try not to expose the identity of the spirit beast of the little Phantom Ink Shadow Three-Tailed Spirit Cat.

In addition, what he got from the Tranquility Society was the evolution formula of the Phantom Cat, but now that Xiao Phantom has evolved into the Ink Shadow Three-Tailed Spirit Cat, it is difficult to explain if someone really asks about it when the time comes.

Fei Chengqing knew, but he didn't mention it very measuredly.

Li Changan even felt that the reason why Fei Chengqing recruited him to the 13th Supervision Group of the Ministry of Supervision was also related to the type of spirit beast of the little phantom ink shadow three-tailed civet cat to a certain extent.

"Woo~~"

After running for a distance, Xiao Fan's breathing gradually became rapid, his body coordination slowly decreased, and his movements became slightly stiff and sluggish.

"Almost. Let's go for the rest."

Seeing this, Li Changan hurriedly stopped the little guy.

"Meow~~"

Hearing this, Xiao Phantom did not hesitate, stopped his movements and waited for Li Changan to come down, and immediately changed back to the appearance of the phantom cat and lay on his shoulder.

After coming down, Li Changan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the discomfort in his stomach gradually subsided.

"Getting bigger also brings about an increase in physical strength and energy consumption."

Looking at its slightly tired appearance, after handing over a piece of dried fish, he silently wrote down this matter in his heart.

After all, it can only be used as a temporary mount.

But.

Because of Xiao Phantom's speed, they were not too far from their destination.

"Anyway, it's a lot faster than a car."

Looking at the hazy town in front of him, Li Changan said with a smile.

At least there is no detour.

Click, click

The little guy who was eating with crumbs on his lips licked his mouth and held his head high.

Meow! "(That's not it!) ）

This is a small town called "Fuyang" located in the north of the boundary of Yangcheng.

According to the results of the girl's phantom "Yingyan" that Xiao Fantasy met in Kaiyuan Lane, the location was determined.

The distance between the two places is not short, and if you are driving, it is estimated that it will take two hours.

"It's such a long distance, but we can connect with each other."

This made Li Changan curious.

Step into town.

Because it was late at night in the wee hours of the morning, and the streets were empty and there was no one left.

There are few lights on in the rows of buildings.

Some dim street lamps illuminate the streets that are not very spacious.

Hazy, as if wearing an orange light veil.

"Meow~~"

Little Phantom refers to a corner of the town.

There, not even the light of the street lights was there.

This kind of place, you can tell that there is a problem at a glance...... Li Changan slandered in his heart.

After reminding Xiao Phantom to be vigilant, he leaned over cautiously.

It didn't look like he was far from his final destination, but it took a lot of time to get there.

When the last light of the street disappeared from sight, what appeared in front of Li Changan and Xiao Huan was a huge abandoned railway station.

Several of the railroad tracks that run from the entrances and exits on both sides are rusty.

Throughout the building, there are also very obvious signs of repair if the clothes are patched one by one.

As Li Changan and Xiao Fan gradually approached, some subtle movements from the abandoned railway station gradually reached their ears.

Bang dang –

The sound was like the sound of a train speeding on the tracks.

It's like the sound of a huge instrument slapping against metal.

Isn't this an abandoned train station?

Someone is constructing?

But in the middle of the night, there was no light at all.

"Be careful."

Li Changan lowered his voice and reminded and instructed again.

The little guy nodded silently and narrowed his eyes slightly.

As we approached the old train station, the sound became clearer.

The gate of the station was blocked by a large iron curtain gate.

But this is not difficult for Li Changan and Xiao Fan, who have enough experience in investigation and tasks.

They bypassed the gate and approached the entrances and exits that ran out of the tracks from both sides of the train station.

Stepping on the railroad tracks and looking into the dark inside, what appeared in front of me was like a hideous and terrifying bloody mouth, and I couldn't really see the scene inside.

"Is it dangerous?" Li Changan asked through thoughts.

Xiao Fantasy, who heard the words, used "Shadow Yan" to calculate for the first time, and the phantom in his eyes was quickly outlined.

As it evolved, the shadows under its eyes were now clearer than before, but it was still unable to see what was flickering and jumping inside.

A moment later.

The little one gives the result.

Dangerous, but not fatal, care is required.

With such a result, Li Changan let it go slightly

After loosening, tense your body again.

If there is a danger, it means that there is something in it.

Walk towards the station.

Bang dang! Bang Dong –

The sound in the ears is getting clearer and clearer.

In addition, Li Changan also found that there seemed to be some other movements in this voice.

And just as they entered the interior of the abandoned railway station and followed the sound a little bit closer, the movement stopped abruptly after the last "clang".

The entire station instantly fell into a somewhat eerie and infiltrating silence.

Li Changan, who subconsciously stopped, couldn't help frowning, and after a short period of hesitation and hesitation, he turned on his soul vision.

Soul vision, at least so that he would not be unable to see anything clearly in the complete darkness.

But if there really is any spirit beast or spirit master in the station, the soul vision will definitely become the reason for exposing oneself.

This moment.

Li Changan misses the artisan ray she met at the "Black Box" bar fair, the "Night Pupil" she sells can make people see the dark environment, and it is not like the soul vision and flashlight, which are particularly easy to find and targeted.

After a pause, he continued on his way.

Entering the real internal area of the station, what appeared in Li Changan's sight were staggered shelves.

It was like some discarded metal racks, stacked together, tied up with ropes, and formed a circle.

Scaffold?

He vaguely seemed to understand the existence of these shelves together, and the reason for doing so.

His intuition told him that the abnormality in the station might come from the place where these shelves were enclosed.

Approaching again.

Now Li Changan and Xiao Fan have raised their respective vigilance to the highest.

Li Changan even put one hand on the left wheel on his waist, and the other hand grabbed a smooth lizard skin deep in his pocket.

But when he got to the shelf, nothing had happened.

Look through the horizontal shelf and look inside.

Just see.

Cracked stone slabs, haphazardly piled up dirt, a small but deep hole.

Well?

Looking at Li Changan inside, he faintly seemed to see a stone pillar with exquisite carving, but stained with dirt.

Pillar?

As a top student in the Department of Spirit Animal History, combined with the knowledge he learned and mastered during this time, Li Changan read something from the patterns carved by the stone pillars.

This seems to be..... A kind of ancient place of mystical rituals.

The corners of Li Changan's eyes twitched slightly.

Isn't it some ancient evil ritual?

There are some shadows in my heart that are similar to the "blood ritual".

Suddenly.

A shallow spiritual thread crossed his eyes, and then the thread suddenly thickened.

Li Changan turned his head sharply.

Xiao Phantom didn't hesitate to swing his claws behind him.

Zila-

A series of fires illuminated the form of the creature behind them.

Saw.

It was a huge insect with a heavy armor like a shell.

Phantom's claws grazed its shell, leaving three dark scratches.

"Bracket!!

The pain was exchanged for the other party's violent roar.

Spirit beast, gray shovel!

Li Changan just wanted to take out the revolver, but was surprised to find...

I can't move my body!

"Wait, there's a misunderstanding—" A voice came.
