"Don't scare yourself," Gu Mingyue scolded softly, her thoughts drifting far away.
In her past life, she had also experienced a scene where all the monsters suddenly withdrew, leaving only mutated animals and humans to fight and kill each other for territory.
Every few days after humans begin to lower their guard, those monsters will return, and each time they attack humans again, they are always two levels higher than the superhumans.
The crow monster in Shen Ming's arms struggled incessantly as soon as they came outside. As soon as Shen Ming released it, the crow monster flew away and soared into the dark night sky.
"Little crow, come back." Shen Ming saw the crow fly away and his face showed some anxiety. He was young and still a little impatient, and his worry was written all over his face.
The crow monster struggled, its instincts leading it to fly towards the mountains outside the city, but its mind was out of control when it heard the boy's call. Its wings spun as it tried to return to the boy's side, and two emotions collided in its mind.
Seeing that it hadn't flown back yet, Shen Ming was already considering whether to erase the crow monster's consciousness.
Birds are animals that yearn for freedom the most. Even if ordinary psychics capture them, they are difficult to control. Many bird monsters believe that life is precious, but freedom is more valuable.
The crow monster controlled by Shen Ming is the king of its kind, able to summon other companions to serve him. It also unusually values life more than freedom, and having eaten his eyes, its mental invasion is even more secure.
Shen Ming was somewhat reluctant to erase it.
Fortunately, the crow monster circled in the air and did not fly out of the area controlled by Gu Mingyue.
Gu Mingyue released her mental domain, and the crow monster stopped flapping its wings and crashed straight to the ground.
Shen Ming quickly ran over, picked up the crow monster that was dazed and confused from the fall, and held it in his arms.
"Xiao Ming, lend me your crow monster for a bit," Gu Mingyue said, looking at the crow monster that was still restless in Shen Ming's arms.
“Okay, boss, here you go.” Shen Ming didn’t hesitate at all. It was a blessing for this crow monster to be asked for by the boss.
If you're lucky, the boss might give it a crystal core to eat. If it dies, he'll just use another mutated monster or animal to mentally invade it!
There are many crow monsters, but only one boss!
Gu Mingyue plucked a long black hair from her head and separated it from her body. The hair twisted and turned as if it were alive. Gu Mingyue pried open the crow monster's beak and successfully invaded its brain despite its resistance.
The crow monster felt a thin thread wrap around the crystal core in its brain, causing its feathers to stand on end.
Gu Mingyue met its eyes, and the bioelectric connection between the two began. The crow monster let out a few unpleasant cries and struggled even more fiercely.
If Shen Ming's consciousness left in its mind was a small puddle, then Gu Mingyue's consciousness was a giant lake.
It was a domineering and irresistible invasion of consciousness. The crow monster felt its freedom completely stripped away, as if it had become a puppet in the hands of humans. It immediately wanted to bite its tongue and commit suicide, but its tongue was out of its control, and it couldn't die even if it wanted to!
The little bit of Shenming's consciousness in his mind had long been squeezed into a corner, and Shenming would not be able to give it any instructions at this time.
Gradually, the crow monster's suicidal thoughts were washed away. Just like being hypnotized by a skilled hypnotist, the crow monster, which had been struggling to die, flew happily to Gu Mingyue's side after Shen Ming released it.
Seeing the disgusting crow monster covered in pustules trying to get closer to her, Gu Mingyue quickly stopped it.
The little wolf beside Gu Mingyue also barked wildly at the crow monster, not wanting the rotten pus-filled smell of the crow monster to rub against its master.
"Little monster, now take us to where you want to go, but fly slowly," Gu Mingyue said softly. The crow monster received the order and immediately spread its wings and flew towards the scenic area in the suburbs.
It would stop and wait for Gu Mingyue and the others after flying for a while, which made it much more obedient than when it was controlled by Shen Ming.
Gu Mingyue slowly followed behind it, a guess in her mind that might explain why those monsters were always more powerful than the superhumans.
Upon reaching the foot of several mountains, the crow monsters became even more excited. They could now see several bird monsters with pustules on their bodies, beast monsters running towards the mountaintop, and even humanoid monsters. They were all excited, as if they had been invited to a grand event.
The smooth asphalt road came to an end, and ahead lay a rugged mountain path covered with stones and dead branches.
Gu Mingyue stepped onto it and felt it was a bit uncomfortable on her feet. She turned around and looked at Shen Ming: "Xiao Ming, the mountain path up there is very difficult to walk. Do you want to go back?"
Shen Ming shook his head and looked at Gu Mingyue firmly: "I won't go back. I am a powerful superhuman now, and this difficulty is nothing to me."
Hearing this, Gu Mingyue stopped asking questions, called out to follow, and quickly walked towards the place where the crow monster had flown away, avoiding the paths of other monsters and climbing to the top of the mountain in one go.
Shen Ming carried a large fire axe on his back, sweat dripping onto the ground, but he still followed silently.
When he encountered a few monsters with low combat strength, he would take care of them with a fire axe, silently killing them without asking Gu Mingyue for help, his face showing a composure beyond his years.
Awesome!
When Gu Mingyue climbed to the top of the mountain, she found many different kinds of monsters crammed together like sardines at the entrance of a naturally formed cave.
The terrifying roars of monsters echoed from inside.
There are also many level 1 late-stage monsters scattered around the perimeter of the valley, looking like patrolling soldiers.
Shen Ming, who thought he was strong enough, still couldn't help but tremble when he saw the densely packed monsters after climbing to the top of the mountain. He covered his mouth and dared not make a sound, and sat down on the ground with a thud.
It's usually difficult for a superhuman to fight even a single monster, but here there are hundreds of them, each one strangely shaped, chewing on unknown chunks of meat. Yellowish-red blood flows through the cave entrance, and a stench wafts from the ravine up the mountaintop and into his nostrils with the slightest breeze.
If those superhumans in the city came and saw this scene, they would be so terrified they'd wet themselves and wish they could escape on a rocket.
Shen Ming subconsciously turned to look at Gu Mingyue, and saw that under the moonlight, the woman's face was calm, her long eyelashes did not tremble, and her beautiful eyes were shining with an excitement that he could not understand.
Seeing her calm demeanor, Shen Ming's heart, which had been trembling with fear, suddenly calmed down.
The boss seems to have a magical ability to soothe people's hearts!
Gu Mingyue didn't even glance at Shen Ming, treating him like a child on his first adventure. She took out night vision binoculars from her backpack and calmly peered into the cave.
The cave was even more chaotic, with scenes of bloodshed and violence everywhere.
The monsters in the late stages of level one devoured each other, and yellow tissue fluid flowed from their wounds, enveloping them until the victor emerged and the wounds gradually healed.
Then the victors continued to devour each other, and through constant violent destruction and infighting, they rose to level two and even showed a tendency to develop into level three.
