It turned out that after attacking Xie Zhou, the monster quickly hid behind the trees. Its blood-red pupils glowed eerily, and its eyes were very nimble as it secretly observed the person who had just entered the place.
Xie Zhou turned around, her eyes filled with a hint of anger. She had been so relaxed that she hadn't noticed something lurking behind her.
Her gaze grew increasingly cold as she stared intently at the thicket. Her intuition was unmistakable; her sixth sense was always accurate. To pinpoint the location of the thing that had suddenly attacked her, Xie Zhou unleashed her powerful mental energy to examine the somewhat unusual grove of trees.
She slowly approached, her hands already poised to strike. She quickly got a sense of the entire forest and, sure enough, discovered someone hiding behind a sycamore tree not far away. Moreover, Xie Zhou found the aura peculiar and indescribable.
She seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but no matter how hard she tried to figure it out, she couldn't say which monster it came from. So she stopped paying attention to it and followed the guidance of her spiritual power, step by step approaching the strange place.
My feet clattered on the withered branches, making a crisp sound, "Crack...crack..."
The sounds echoed through Silent Hill, urging Xie Zhou to quicken his pace and look at what was there.
When the monster hidden behind the trees saw the man coming to find it, it changed direction. Seeing that there was still a lot of distance between the two, it decided to take this opportunity to escape quickly. Although a low-level creature like it did not have much intelligence, its instinct to run away still existed.
"Splash..."
Xie Zhou looked up and saw a fleeting shadow on the ground. He frowned slightly and said, "Oh no, it's getting away..."
It was incredibly fast, so fast that not even a fleeting afterimage could be seen. The wind it created as it ran whipped up leaves on the ground and branches from the trees, creating a loud noise. Xie Zhou, who had any ears, could hear it clearly. Seeing that the monster was about to run away, she quickly used her lightness skill to catch up with it.
Using the branches for leverage, she spun and flipped a few times, catching up with the greased monster. Seeing the black aura emanating from its body, occasionally tinged with red, she became even more certain that this monster looked familiar.
Xie Zhou didn't engage in a chase. What she needed to do now was to deal with it using the most ruthless methods. This monster had actually injured her a little, although it was just a minor wound. But Xie Zhou wouldn't allow anyone to stab her in the back. She quickly made a hand seal, and a talisman entered the monster's body.
The moment the monster was possessed by the talisman, it stopped in its tracks, its eyes changed, its pupils contracted, and its mouth opened wide.
She let out a piercing scream, "Aaaaaah..."
Several bolts of lightning flashed across its body. It struggled, its limbs trembling, but it was all in vain. It was enduring Xie Zhou's lightning strike. In the blink of an eye, the lightning continued to linger inside the monster's body. After struggling for a while, it finally collapsed after emitting a puff of smoke.
Although the talisman was incredibly powerful, the monster still collapsed to the ground. Xie Zhou's spiritual power remained undiminished, and he discovered that many traces of energy still lingered around it, indicating that he hadn't truly defeated it. Xie Zhou smiled and chuckled coldly, "Heh... You didn't die? Well then, you'll get a taste of the power of my fist!"
Xie Zhou frowned in disgust, impatiently picked at her ear, and teleported to the monster's front. She carefully examined the charred remains. One second her eyes didn't show much change, but the next second Xie Zhou immediately revealed her fierce side. She clenched her fist, and a lot of power swirled around it. Xie Zhou shouted.
"ah……"
With a single punch, the monster's primordial spirit was expelled and then dissipated into the air.
Xie Zhou subdued the strange monster.
Seeing it lying motionless on the ground like a dead creature, its eyes already devoid of pupils, Xie Zhou examined the monster closely, finding its aura increasingly familiar, though she had never seen its appearance before.
Xie Zhou then asked the system, "Did the system recognize what this thing is? Have we seen it somewhere before?"
After checking, the system said, "Sorry, host, I can't tell what it is right now because it has no life force left. If you had looked at it before it died, you would definitely have been able to tell what it was."
Xie Zhou was speechless. This system was completely useless at the crucial moment. So it was indirectly saying that he had dealt with the strange monster too violently?
She didn't speak, her face grim. She activated her spiritual power to examine the monster. A vast spiritual aura surrounded the monster, searching for any remaining life force on its nearly lifeless corpse. Xie Zhou quickly learned the result.
No wonder it felt somewhat familiar; it was because she had encountered it before and discovered that it was a blood-elemental monster.
Xie Zhou withdrew his mental energy and then prepared to explore deeper into the area.
But suddenly the corpse seemed to vanish, turning into ashes. Xie Zhou didn't pay any attention to it. But then the corpse of the blood monster swept up from the ground, forming streams of blood energy that coalesced and attacked from behind Xie Zhou.
Xie Zhou was suddenly enveloped by a dark red blood aura. The aura was visible and tangible, but Xie Zhou sensed something was wrong. He saw that the blood aura was like silk threads being pulled, trying to penetrate his body one by one, and he realized that his power was being eroded by the blood aura.
Xie Zhou frowned, his hands forced open to allow more blood and energy to enter.
She gritted her teeth and struggled desperately to break free from the control of the blood energy. However, as her body grew weaker and weaker, she regretted her earlier discovery. It seemed that the appearance of this blood energy monster was the reason why the surrounding blood energy slowly seeped out from the ground. This blood energy turned into demonic claws that pulled and eroded Xie Zhou's limbs.
Xie Zhou couldn't help but make a sound, feeling as the blood energy approached him, it was as if a very sharp blade was cutting into his heart piece by piece.
"Ahhh... Let me go, get away from me!"
Xie Zhou was in great agony, constantly suffering from the corrosive effects of his blood and qi.
