Yue Jiuling put down her phone and said to Bai Xinyu beside her, "It's so late, why is there no sound at all?"

"I don't know either, there's been no movement from Xiaobaicai's side either."

Bai Xinyu was munching on a chocolate bar. She had just said she was hungry, so she ran to the corner store and bought some snacks, completely forgetting that she had just said she was going to give up snacks.

"Well, I wonder if Little Cabbage has made any discoveries."

Yue Jiuling thought of the 'snotty worm spirit' that Yue Jiunian had mentioned in the group chat earlier, and began to suspect that it might be the thing they were supposed to catch tonight. However, because she wasn't sure, she didn't tell Bai Xinyu about Yue Jiunian.

Inside the van, Xiao Baicai was holding a laptop and staring intently at the screen. However, after watching for so long, he still couldn't find anything unusual. The surveillance footage was all quiet and there was nothing out of the ordinary. He only saw his colleagues chatting or eating in the same spot.

Ye Dongfeng started to feel tired after standing for a while, so he squatted down and took out his phone to play games. Mu Xiaoyi, who was standing next to him, kicked him and said, "Hey, can't you be serious for once?"

Ye Dongfeng dodged Mu Xiaoyi's foot and then said, "What? Haven't I always been very serious?"

“You should stand up properly. If someone suddenly flies out of the manhole cover like that, you'll be the first one to get hurt.”

Mu Xiaoyi said to the person on the ground in an annoyed tone, "Playing, playing, all you know is how to play. Be careful you don't go blind."

Ye Dongfeng said nonchalantly, "So what if I'm blind? I can just get glasses. I've never worried about that."

"Fine, then you can stay blind then," Mu Xiaoyi said irritably. "I hope you can still outmaneuver those demons and monsters even with your glasses on."

The two were arguing when they suddenly heard the hidden voice in their earpiece yell, "Holy crap! That thing really appeared! Come quick!"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately knew that their 'prey' had appeared, and they immediately ran in the direction where they had hidden!

On the other side, Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu also heard the hidden cry for help, and the two of them immediately rushed over.

"Oh my god! What the hell is this?!"

When Yue Jiuling and the others arrived at the first manhole cover, they saw that Yinni was surrounded by a cloud of black mist, and opposite him was a strange creature emitting black mist towards Yinni.

The hidden figure, already shrouded in black energy, looked extremely pale. He exclaimed as if enduring some kind of pain, "Holy crap! Help me! This thing is absorbing my spiritual energy!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling immediately looked at the thing on the ground. It looked like a giant slug, lying limply on the ground and constantly emitting black smoke.

The others rushed to rescue Yin Ni, but when they encountered the black energy, their spiritual power was also drained. Now, they not only couldn't save Yin Ni, but they were also in dire straits themselves.

"Hold on, don't use your spiritual power yet. The more you use your spiritual power, the more it will absorb!"

Yue Jiuling had already recognized the thing as the snotty worm spirit that Yue Jiunian had encountered. She didn't dare to rush to rescue her colleagues, fearing that she would also fall into trouble. Fortunately, she remembered that Yue Jiunian had said that she could use Netherfire to attack the thing, so she immediately summoned Netherfire.

"Thud~"

Yue Jiuling snapped her fingers, and Netherfire instantly appeared on the scene. The 'snotty-nosed guy' was clearly stunned when he saw the Netherfire appear, probably because he didn't expect to encounter Netherfire that could restrain him here.

However, no matter how confused it was, it dared not stay there any longer. It immediately withdrew its black energy and fled under the manhole cover as if its life depended on it.

"Oh my god! Damn it, I almost died."

After being rescued, the hidden ones collapsed to the ground. At this moment, Xiao Baicai, who had been hiding in the car, also ran out, carrying the laptop in his hands, and ran over quickly.

"Is everyone alright? What was that thing just now? It looked really scary to me."

Little Cabbage, supporting the severely weakened Hidden One, asked.
