Xia's flashlight was a bit dim compared to the low beam, but it did illuminate the creature from other angles.

She saw that the creature's "arms" had many joints, like a crab, and ended in sharp bone structures, like the claws of an insect. The edges were sharp enough to pierce the skin and tear the flesh.

Its body seemed to be covered with a layer of fine scales, or like the chitinous shell of an insect, casting a blurry shadow under the low beam.

Looking towards its head, Xia found that it had no nose, ears, or eyes. It only had a mouth with fine teeth. There were tiny fangs distributed around the mouth. Just by looking at it, Xia could imagine the cruel scene of this thing devouring and grinding animal limbs. Her scalp tingled.

In any case, this is definitely not a creature that could have emerged through natural evolution.

Thinking of this, Xia looked at the honeycomb-like holes on its head again.

These holes were pitch black and no one knew what they were used for. Xia moved a little closer, raised the flashlight, and peeked inside.

Suddenly, something seemed to move inside, and Xia blinked, not knowing whether it was her illusion or it was true.

She kept a certain distance and observed carefully.

The next moment, Xia saw a pupil.

The dark pupil met his gaze, and in an instant, more pupils appeared.

These pupils were in the "honeycomb" of the creature's head, like sneaky lotus seeds in a withered lotus pod.

Each of the densely packed holes has a pupil.

What made Xia even more horrified was that these eyes popped out from the holes in the creature's head.

Behind each eyeball are milky yellow tentacles with a slimy texture.

In an instant, more than a dozen tentacles with eyeballs on the ends emerged from the skull, and all the eyeballs stared at Xia.

Although the scene was extremely shocking, enough to make a normal person's brain crash, Xia just stood there and did not act rashly, perhaps because of her previous experience.

The squirming eyeball adjusted its position. The tentacles behind it were probably less than thirty centimeters long and could not reach Xia. But even so, these tentacles and eyeballs, which were like the stamens of blooming Lycoris, were enough to make a person's mind collapse and make it difficult to stay normal.

Not far away, Trist, who was in the car, saw this scene and showed an expression of astonishment on his face, but his face soon turned gloomy and his hand trembled on the car door, not knowing whether he wanted to get out of the car or do something else.

Seeing this, Lu Ban knew that the thing must not be dead yet, so he hurriedly climbed from the back seat to the driver's seat and wanted to step on the accelerator to help Xia, but the car did not start.

A hand reached out from behind and pressed on the gear lever.

"It has to be this way."

Drizzt said.

The next moment, the whole car rushed forward.

Bang——

Before he could react, the white monster was hit again. The bumpy feeling of the tires almost made Lu Ban, who was not wearing a seat belt, jump out of his seat. He immediately stepped on the brakes and opened the car door and got out without paying attention to any safe driving regulations.

"Come up quickly."

Lu Ban looked back and saw Xiaya had just dodged the vehicle. She was holding a flashlight in her hand and was still a little frightened.

As for the monster that was run over by the car, some of its eyes had been crushed by the tires, and a yellowish liquid was oozing out of it. Its body was twitching, and its limbs with numerous joints were trying to struggle.

Lu Ban pulled Xia's arm and walked quickly towards the car.

On the other side, Trist also sat in the driver's seat, confirmed the condition of the vehicle, and was ready to drive at any time.

Xia looked back at the creature in a daze.

At this moment, she discovered that not far away, in the shadows on both sides of the road, there were several white shadows hiding.

In the bushes and behind the rocks, the wriggling tentacles and eyeballs were staring at this side. Further away, white shadows climbed onto the road, like giant spiders, and moved quickly towards their location.

Xia was pushed into the car by Lu Ban. The moment Lu Ban closed the door, Trist started the car.

Behind them, more and more white monsters caught up.

"Fuck it!"

Trist cursed, and immediately there was a loud noise in front of the vehicle. A monster was knocked over, rolled over the roof of the car, and fell on the road behind the car. A light yellow juice spurted out of its body, staining the rear glass.

"What are these?"

Drizzt asked, cursing.

"I don't know, maybe they are the followers summoned by the summoning ritual."

As Lu Ban spoke, he was very clear in his mind that this was basically the only reason why such a monster could appear in this world where there was almost no supernatural influence.

"Family..."

Trist chewed on the word as he continued to accelerate. Soon, the car drove into the parking lot of the villa.

I don’t know if the monster behind me was thrown away or something, and it didn’t catch up.

"Let's go in first."

Taking the flashlight, Trist, who had almost recovered, pushed open the door.

The three of them walked into the hall. It was completely empty. Although the lights were on, there was an eerie silence.

Lu Ban glanced towards the restaurant. The lights were on, but there was no one inside. There were some snacks and drinks on the table, which looked like they were left over from when Trist was chatting with Zou Changyu and his wife.

"Amber, Red Leaf."

Lu Ban came to the second floor again and called out.

He turned the doorknob of his room and found it was empty.

The three of them opened all the guest rooms on the second floor and checked, but found no trace of Amber and Red Leaves.

"There's no one in the villa. Where did they go?"

Xia's face was solemn. What happened before could definitely not be explained by science. Now, the villa was empty and her companions were nowhere to be found. On this isolated island, the night seemed as long as eternity, tormenting their minds.

"Let's not separate. It's better for us to act together. I'll go get the weapons."

Trist opened the door of his room, opened his suitcase, and took out a baton and two pairs of handcuffs.

"Where's your gun?"

Lu Ban asked at this time.

"...I don't know. Maybe he was in the hotel when he was attacked."

Drizzt paused for a moment and explained as he put the handcuffs in his pocket and checked the status of the baton.

"Let's go to the basement and check the condition of the jade pendant."

He said.

Lu Ban and Xia Ya nodded. One of them held an ashtray in his hand, and the other held a square paperweight. They followed Trist vigilantly, passing through the empty first-floor lobby, going down the stairs, and arriving at the basement storage room.

The door was unlocked and the lights were on inside.

When Drizzt pushed the door open, he saw that the door of the safe was wide open, and some documents, accounts, and jewelry inside were scattered all over the floor, making it a mess.

The suitcase containing the jade pendant was torn open by something and there was nothing inside.

Drizzt moved closer, examined it carefully, and confirmed that the jade pendant had indeed been taken away.

"This should not be done by Zou Changyu and his wife. There is no need for them to use such a destructive method to take the jade pendant."

In other words, in Trist's opinion, being able to take away the jade pendant was already very outrageous. After all, any normal person would go crazy the moment he saw the jade pendant.

He stood up, and suddenly, a sobbing sound came from behind the huge safe.
