Chapter 404 Hunting, Harvest and Bait
When Chi Mei saw Xiao Xiao, she immediately screamed and rushed towards Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao could even see the yellowed teeth exposed in the other person's open mouth.
A stench followed.
Xiao Xiao frowned in disgust, "Qin Yuan."
"Xu~"
……
The screams of the three chi monsters stopped abruptly.
There was a faint fishy smell floating in the air.
Rotten, like the smell of corpses settling in a swamp, mixed with a hint of greasy sweetness, it was cold, slimy and extremely disgusting.
……
Xiao Xiao has already left that place.
The taste of Qinyuan is still so unacceptable.
However, the spiritual power fed back by the demon mirror made Xiao Xiao's slightly gloomy mood become sunny after seeing Hook Snake.
Although the amount of spiritual power transmitted was not very large, after all, it was just three chi charms, it was very pure and gentle.
Xiao Xiao felt that all the cells in his body were moaning with pleasure.
……
Finally, something was gained, and Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had been prepared to return without success before he came, after all, he searched all day yesterday and found nothing. However, his spiritual power needed to be restored urgently, and there was still a monster that he needed to deal with.
Xiao Xiao later searched the forest inside and out, and found five more Chi Mei in different places.
……
Sitting in the car going back to school, Xiao Xiao looked out the window and saw that the sky was already darkening.
Neon lights were shining not far away, and the light of the car lights between the traffic was so bright that it was even a bit dazzling.
The two complement each other, making the darkness of winter nights less unpredictable and intimidating.
……
A total of eight Chi Mei were found today.
It can be considered a fruitful harvest.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but press his temples. The throbbing pain in his brain didn't ease much, but the nausea in his chest and throat dissipated a lot.
Xiao Xiao is still satisfied with this effect.
After all, what he couldn't stand the most was the nauseous feeling.
As for the pain, he has survived the worst part. Xiao Xiao said that this pain is nothing at all.
Xiao Xiao suddenly paused. What he said seemed a bit arrogant and domineering, but why did he seem a bit sad?
In fact, he didn't really want to get used to the pain if it could be avoided.
……
In the next few days, Xiao Xiao "swept" several forests inside and outside Yanjing City that he knew.
The harvest is quite gratifying.
Including the first eight chimei, Xiao Xiao "fed" a total of fifty-four chimei from Yaojian.
There are two Chi Meis among them. Not only are they much larger in size than the other Chi Meis, but their strength is also particularly powerful compared to other Chi Meis.
It must be because it has absorbed a lot of human essence, right?
Xiao Xiao guessed.
One such Chi Mei is worth ten ordinary Chi Mei.
The spiritual power fed back by Yao Jian is several times that of other Chi Mei.
……
After this major replenishment, Xiao Xiao clearly felt that the spiritual power flowing in the meridians in his body had become much thicker.
The Dantian is no longer empty, but feels somewhat full.
The pain in the brain is getting weaker and weaker.
And the nagging feeling of nausea has completely disappeared.
……
Xiao Xiao knew that he was almost recovered.
This hunt not only replenished his spiritual power, but also increased it somewhat.
In this regard, Xiao Xiao said that maybe he would like to go looking for chi monsters in various woods in the future.
Not only can we eliminate harm for the people, but we can also strengthen ourselves, so why not do it?
...On Saturday, as soon as the door to the dormitory building opened, Xiao Xiao walked out with slow steps.
The dormitory manager glanced with some surprise at the dark sky outside, which was almost like night. The cold air made him shrink involuntarily.
The dormitory manager's already hunched back became even more bent.
The dormitory manager couldn't help but ask: "Is it so early?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao responded with a smile, then nodded slightly to the uncle and walked out of the dormitory.
The uncle looked at Xiao Xiao's back silently for a while, then smiled and shook his head. Maybe this student had something to do?
……
If Xiao Xiao knew the dormitory master's guess, he might have nodded in agreement with some surprise.
He did have something to do.
It was an important matter that had been delayed for several days due to my own injury.
……
When Xiao Xiao arrived at the edge of the river where he last felt the breath of the hook snake, the sky was already a little bright.
Of course, for ordinary people, the sky is still dark and the vision is somewhat poor.
However, the reflection from the river added a hazy brightness to this space.
……
It was quiet.
Xiao Xiao could clearly hear the sound of water flowing.
The cold wind blew by, and there was the sound of newspapers clattering.
Xiao Xiao followed the sound and saw that the things he saw last time were still spread out there. No one cared about them and no one took them away.
……
Probably when the weather gets hotter, other homeless people will come here.
And when the time comes, these things will have new homes and new owners.
……
Xiao Xiao stared at the river silently for a while.
Not a trace of evil spirit leaked out.
This can't help but make Xiao Xiao a little worried. Could it be that the hook snake has changed its habitat?
After all, this place is off the beaten path, which means it is sparsely populated.
After the few homeless people were eaten by hook snakes, probably no one else would come here except the children who came here to play like the last time they met.
If it were summer, more people would come here to enjoy the cool air.
……
But now, it is a freezing winter.
In any case, Xiao Xiao was a little uncertain about whether the hook snake, which would have lost its food source if it continued to stay here, would still stay in this river.
……
Xiao Xiao walked slowly along the river, looking up at the sky from time to time, and then looking down at the river.
He used himself as bait, hoping to lure the hooked snake out.
……
He sincerely hoped that the hooked snake was still in the waters.
Otherwise, where should he find it?
……
“Coffee~”
"Ouch~"
Feifei and Taotie almost shouted out in unison.
Xiao Xiao also noticed something was wrong.
……
There was no wind on the river surface, and the ripples were layered on top of each other. The waves slowly undulated and became bigger and bigger.
The water waves come one after another, and each wave is higher than the last.
At this time, a cold wind blew, and the water surface seemed to be stimulated, becoming more and more turbulent.
It was getting darker and darker below the surface of the water.
It seems that there is something unknown and dangerous hidden under the water, peeping at the humans near the river.
And, always be ready for the opportunity.
