"Do you know Yao Fangmei and Rou?" Zu An asked in a deep voice. Hmm, what are the names of those two boys? Why can't I remember them all?
He Lu and Wang Shao's expressions changed: "You just saw them?"
“That’s right, and I learned from them that you were already dead. Why would two people who should have died suddenly appear?” Zuan nodded, while secretly observing the reactions of the others.
"What if those two women are lying to you?" He Lu and Wang Shao's faces were somewhat ferocious.
“At first I wasn’t quite sure either, so I took you with me on a flight later and took the opportunity to check your bodies,” Zaun said calmly. “Although you disguised yourselves very well, I could sense a special aura in the area of your hearts.”
Other cultivators would probably find it difficult to see through, but with his current cultivation level and mastery of various skills in the "Baopu Zhenjing," it wouldn't be easy to deceive him.
"Then why are you wary of us?" At this moment, the constable swayed his body and stood up with a somewhat distorted posture.
Zuan was somewhat surprised. Normally, someone injured like this would be completely unable to move. This guy was different: "Do you remember what happened when we first met? Before I could even speak, these two immediately told you my identity and emphasized that I was very powerful. They were obviously informing you."
"Since they are the ones with problems, and they're being so kind as to inform you, you must be in cahoots."
There is another reason: nowadays, because of the various portraits of him circulating, the probability that the disciples in the academy or the officials near the capital would not recognize him is almost zero.
"If you're so sure, why haven't you exposed me?" The constable's body stood up in an extremely contorted, joint-reversed posture, like a puppet.
"I want to see what you're planning to do." Zu An's expression was solemn. Although these people had problems, the original academy disciples and government officials couldn't possibly have problems. These guys were exactly the same as them, which meant either they had an extremely sophisticated disguise technique or they had been controlled by some special method.
Based on the intelligence we received earlier, these people are most likely dead, so it's more likely the latter.
What kind of being can control even the dead and make them look exactly the same as they did in life?
"It's a pity you didn't live to find out." After saying that, the constable smiled eerily, and his whole body split open, from which a purple monster emerged.
At first, the monster was very small, but its limbs acted like straws, sucking the life essence from the head constable's body.
The once robust and imposing head constable visibly withered away, while the monster began to swell.
It then transformed into a humanoid monster with a completely purple body and many red beads on its face, which looked like eyes, making it extremely creepy.
At the same time, the bodies of the others also cracked open, and monsters emerged from their bodies, sucking the essence and blood of their hosts, and soon their bodies began to swell and grow larger.
However, they did not transform into human form like the previous one, but remained in their monster form.
They have eight horns, shaped like the facehugger from the movie "Alien" that I saw in my previous life, but the monster has two rows of red eyes on its head, making it look like a spider.
"You beasts!" Although the constables and the two academy disciples were already dead, seeing these monsters sucking their flesh and blood right in front of him still enraged Zu An.
Just as he was about to rush towards the other person, he suddenly felt a sense of danger and quickly dodged to the side.
Even so, he felt a faint pain on his skin. When he raised his hand, he found that there were many sharp cuts on his clothes and red marks on his skin.
You should know that his body is already incredibly tough, and ordinary swords and knives can hardly hurt him, yet he was almost cut in half.
His gaze sharpened, and he finally saw that the air was filled with threads, like a spider's web.
“Heart-Eating Demon Spider!” A chill ran down Zuan’s spine; he suddenly knew what it was.
When the demon race sent their second prince with their elite army to suppress the sealed land, the battle was exceptionally fierce. The battle reports sent back from the front mentioned a terrifying enemy they encountered.
These are the Heart-Eating Spiders; they can devour a person's heart and then replace it with their own.
The key is that it can also read the memories of the dead and disguise people to look exactly the same as when they were alive. The Second Prince's army suffered heavy casualties, and they were greatly harmed by this monster.
The reason I didn't think of it before was because those were monsters that had invaded the sealed land of the demon race. Although the battle was difficult, the demon race still controlled the situation and wiped out all kinds of mysterious monsters that had escaped from the sealed land.
This situation has never occurred on the human side before. The two places are far apart, and this place is adjacent to the capital, so no one would associate them with the sealed land.
But now, seeing these spider-like monsters, and considering the characteristics he had just used to control those people, he finally remembered the monster he had once glanced at in the demon clan's records.
"Huh, you actually recognize us? Then we can't let you live. I'm quite satisfied with the strength of your body, and you seem to be a big shot among the human race. Perfect, we can take you for ourselves. You're much better than those constables from before." The largest Heart-Eating Spider spoke in human language, "Minions, kill him!"
The smaller Heart-Eating Spiders around him swayed their bodies, emitting piercing hissing sounds like cicadas, and spat out white silk threads that shot towards him. Each thread faintly emitted a cold light, and along the way, it instantly sliced small trees into pieces.
