Chapter 85 Fox Demon
After 5 o'clock in the morning, the changes in the sky are no longer obvious, and the light remains gloomy and dim, just like a cloudy day.
In Sanqing Palace, everyone woke up one after another, packed their bags and prepared to set off.
Feng Ling really didn't force Li Qing to go with them.
Firstly, she thought it would be easier to identify the route during the day than at night;
Secondly, Lee Sin's card is not an attack type and lacks the ability to protect itself;
Three times...
Seeing the Taoist's weak appearance, Feng Ling did feel a little soft-hearted.
Pei Xianjue had no objection to this. She had originally disagreed with the maze manager accompanying them.
The group returned to the mountain road they had taken last night and found the wreckage of the drone. Some parts of the drone were trampled into the wet mud and were severely damaged.
"Such a big footprint, it must be a monster..." Baozi sighed in a low voice.
Feng Ling squatted down beside the footprints and looked at them carefully.
The outline is that of a human's footprint, but it is ridiculously large. The front part of the toe print is long and sharp, like a tiger claw sewn onto a human's foot, which is very strange.
Pei Xianjue also squatted down nearby, "...these footprints are heading down the mountain, and some are heading up the mountain. It seems that the monster was wandering along this road while we were sleeping last night."
"If we follow this road..." Huangfu Miaomiao pursed her lips and whispered uncertainly, "Will we encounter that monster?"
Everyone looked at each other.
On the treetop, the owl turned its head to one side and made a cooing sound.
Feng Ling didn't understand the bird's language, but he immediately sensed its alertness and said, "Something is coming."
Pei Xianjue placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and asked in a low voice: "Is it that monster?"
"Not sure, let's wait and see." Feng Ling stood up and took a few steps back.
There are many towering granite peaks here, which are staggered in height. They provide hiding space but also increase the difficulty of climbing. If they give up this mountain path, it will be difficult for them to continue climbing.
In the thin mist, two figures gradually approached here.
It was obviously not the monster from last night, because the figure looked thin and petite, about 160cm tall, and limped when walking, but the footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible.
Everyone held their breath and hid behind the rocks, quietly waiting for the figure to approach.
The blurry figures gradually became clear. They walked out of the fog and turned out to be monsters with human bodies and fox faces, wearing ancient clothes.
The clothes looked like a mixture of styles from different dynasties. The long sleeves were torn by tree branches and the skirt was covered with mud. The whole piece of clothing was tattered and hung inappropriately on the monster, literally looking like a dog in disguise.
At the same time, Feng Ling also smelled a strong fishy odor.
She couldn't help but frown. The smell reminded her of the smell of the wild animal cages in the zoo that had not been cleaned for a long time on a hot summer day.
Extremely refreshing.
The two fox demons walked past them, swaying their hips, and went up the mountain with a swaying step.
Feng Ling thought of the group of weasels he met on the road before.
At that time, Li Qing said they were yellow monsters, and this kind of monster was recorded in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
In addition to the yellow demon, there is also a fox demon in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, so this maze combines Sanqing Mountain with folk legends about gods and ghosts?
What kind of monster from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was the giant that appeared last night?
Feng Ling thought about it and decided to follow them to see what these fox demons were doing in the mountains.
Huangfu Miaomiao followed Feng Ling like a tail.
Pei Xianjue saw the two of them move, and followed them silently. Then it was Baozi who walked out from behind the rock silently.
Liang Zhou was obviously unwilling to let Feng Ling take the lead in the pace of the action, but making any noise now might alarm the fox demon in front, so he frowned and chose to follow behind.
Feng Ling followed the two fox demons, walking and stopping.
After walking for a distance, I felt something was wrong.
She stopped cautiously and looked up at the owl. It flapped its wings and landed on a nearby branch. The cooing sound in its mouth became rapid and tense, warning her of danger.
Feng Ling looked left and right, trying to find a suitable hiding place, when the fox demon in front of him suddenly let out a shrill scream!
They turned around and ran away in panic, with their limbs falling to the ground, running like jackals covered with clothes!
Then two chains with iron hooks swung over, piercing the fox demon's waist!
The two fox demons fell to the ground sideways, their hind legs twitching constantly, large amounts of blood gushed out of their waists and abdomens, and the screams from their mouths turned into wails.
And the chain slowly retracts——
Dingli bangdang...
Dingli bangdang...
The dying fox demon was dragged into the fog by the chains, leaving behind two long, bright red bloodstains.
Everyone held their breath and looked ahead.
The fog concealed all the blood.
The only sound that could be clearly heard was the sound of bones being chewed, then the sound of internal organs being taken out.
Blood continued to flow, like a winding stream soaking the mud under their feet.
Everyone's face turned extremely ugly.
Huangfu Miaomiao's face turned pale and her legs kept shaking.
Feng Ling glanced at his two cubs - the cat owl had already retreated and flew far away, while the cat spider had its fur all over its body and lay in the grass without moving.
Dingli bangdang...
The sound of the chain dragging on the ground was heard again.
coming.
Feng Ling leaned forward slightly, stared at the direction where the target was about to appear, and gripped the axe handle tightly with both hands.
A huge figure came into view——
It was a humanoid monster at least three meters tall!
It has a horse head on its sturdy body, gray-green skin all over, and thick gray hair on its chest and waist. Because it has been drenched in blood so many times, the blood-stained hair has become tangled into wisps. At first glance, it looks like the monster is wearing a shaman skirt made of rags.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Feng Ling was still briefly shocked when he saw such a hideous monster with his own eyes.
Then she realized this wasn't the monster from last night.
She remembered very clearly that the monster last night had a pair of horns and dark red skin, which was completely different from what she looked like in front of her!
She got it!
It’s the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced!
In the legend, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Devil were servants who captured ghosts, but the one before him was a monster created by the maze that ate raw meat and drank blood.
The monster was dragging the bloody chains in both hands. When he saw Feng Ling and others on the mountain road, he let out a long roar!
It was as if he had discovered an intruder in his territory and he threw the chain in his hand over without saying a word!
Feng Ling grabbed Huangfu Miaomiao who was beside him and quickly hid behind a big tree on the side of the road!
The iron hook at the front of the chain tore off large pieces of bark!
The other iron hook also missed and dug into the mud, stirring up a pile of gravel and mud!
The size difference brought about a huge suppression, and they were like a group of fleeing children in front of the monster.
Only Liang Zhou stood still.
He stared at the monster in front of him, his body swelled rapidly, and coarse wolf hair grew on it!
His clothes were torn by his expanding body, and then he grew fangs and claws, his pupils turned red-gold, and in just a few seconds he completely turned into a giant gray wolf!
