447 The Cunning Ghost
After waiting a moment, Chang Shi couldnât help but shout and ask.
Hou Tuâs reply came quickly. âI canât see anything inside, but I found some rotten meat. There are two bodies beside me. They should have died not long ago.â
âWait! This...â Hou Tu suddenly exclaimed and stopped.
âWhatâs wrong? Monkey? Old Hou!â Chang Shi called out anxiously, but he still didnât receive a reply.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lonemoon and Gui Nian were also nervous.
âLetâs go in. Donât get separated.â
Lin Qiye made a prompt decision and immediately led the way.
Lonemoon, Chang Shi, and Gui Nian all surrounded him closely, guarding against any possible situation.
âThe black mist is seriously interfering with my detection ability. I canât confirm his location!â
Gui Nianâs eyes flashed with a golden light. He tried hard to see through the fog but to no avail.
Lin Qiye did not say anything. Instead, he spread his mental power and tried to penetrate the black mist as much as possible.
Although he could not clearly inspect his surroundings, he could still vaguely sense some things in the courtyard.
âLetâs go over there and take a look.â Lin Qiye found two corpses and immediately called Lonemoon and the others over.
He remembered that before they lost contact with Hou Tu, he had said there were two corpses beside him.
âWhat is it?â As they walked, Chang Shi suddenly frowned.
He bowed slightly and touched the ground.
âBlood! Itâs monkeyâs aura!â
Everyoneâs expression changed. They also saw the blood on Chang Shiâs palm.
However, because everyone else was wearing shoes, only Chang Shi noticed it when his snake body touched the sticky blood.
âIt couldnât be...â Gui Nianâs expression was ugly.
âHis spiritual fluctuation is still there, but I canât sense his exact location.â
Lin Qiye tried his best to strengthen his mental power, but he could only vaguely sense a few auras in the courtyard.
Hou Tuâs aura was still strong, and he didnât seem gravely injured.
However, it was strange that he didnât respond.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept past. The few people trembled.
Lonemoonâs hair stood on end. âSomething touched me!â
She clung tightly to Lin Qiye, her body stiff.
âBastard!â Cold sweat seeped out of Chang Shiâs forehead. He took out his weapon and started waving it around.
Gui Nian also flapped his wings frantically, trying to blow away the black mist around him.
However, no matter what they did, the black mist was as sticky as glue and could not be dispelled.
Whoosh!
Another gust of cold wind swept past.
The scales on Chang Shiâs neck suddenly flew off, and more than ten pieces fell.
âWho is it? Who is it?â He clutched his neck, his eyes filled with fear.
How could people not be afraid and panic when they could not see the opponent?
As they pressed closer to each other, Lin Qiyeâs eyes darted around as if he had already locked onto something.
âHmph, a guy who hides in the dark!â
He sneered, and his invisible mental power began to condense and rise rapidly.
âIâve caught you!â Lin Qiye let out a roar, and the turbulent waves of mental power instantly rushed to the side as fast as lightning.
Boom!
A violent collision sound was heard. Although they couldnât see anything, they could roughly tell that a beam had been knocked down.
âOver there!â
âCatch him!â
Lonemoon and Chang Shi reacted quickly.
They all knew that Lin Qiye had made a move.
âIâve already locked onto his position. Follow me!â
Gui Nianâs golden eyes shone even brighter as he stared into the fog and led the charge.
Lin Qiye followed behind them, maintaining a high level of concentration.
At the same time, he looked to the side.
Just now, when Chang Shi was attacked, Lin Qiye had caught a black figure quickly passing by him.
Although the figure was fast, Lin Qiye had already locked onto him with his mental power.
The lock was like a noose. Once it was put on, there was no way to escape unless it was beyond Lin Qiyeâs detection range or his mental power was completely blocked.
Otherwise, the attacker would never be able to escape.
Although Lin Qiyeâs mental power was affected by the black mist, it was not completely blocked.
As a result, after the black shadow was locked on, no matter how it hid, it was unable to escape from his lock.
âIâve caught him!â
Chang Shiâs voice came from the black mist. Lonemoon and Gui Nian followed closely behind.
Soon, Chang Shiâs exclamation was heard again.
âMonkey! How could it be him?â
Lin Qiye frowned and quickly went forward to check.
Although the black fog blocked most of their vision, they could still see everything within half a meter.
He saw a one-meter-tall monkey demon covered in brown hair lying in a pile of broken wood chips.
Chang Shi quickly dug it out.
âHis aura is still there. He must have merely fainted!â
After checking on Hou Tuâs condition, Chang Shi, Lonemoon, and Gui Nian heaved a sigh of relief.
âWhatâs going on? Why is it Hou Tu?â
Lonemoon could not understand. They had been ambushed one after another, and Lin Qiye had locked onto the ambusher.
Then, they attacked the ambusher.
But why did the target become Hou Tu?
Lonemoon did not suspect Lin Qiye had mistaken him for someone else because she had seen Lin Qiyeâs abilities.
Moreover, after being with Lin Qiye for a long time, no one knew better than her how terrifying his strength was.
