Worldwide Simulation Era

447 The Cunning Ghost

After waiting a moment, Chang Shi couldn’t help but shout and ask.

Hou Tu’s reply came quickly. “I can’t see anything inside, but I found some rotten meat. There are two bodies beside me. They should have died not long ago.”

“Wait! This...” Hou Tu suddenly exclaimed and stopped.

“What’s wrong? Monkey? Old Hou!” Chang Shi called out anxiously, but he still didn’t receive a reply.

Lonemoon and Gui Nian were also nervous.

“Let’s go in. Don’t get separated.”

Lin Qiye made a prompt decision and immediately led the way.

Lonemoon, Chang Shi, and Gui Nian all surrounded him closely, guarding against any possible situation.

“The black mist is seriously interfering with my detection ability. I can’t confirm his location!”

Gui Nian’s eyes flashed with a golden light. He tried hard to see through the fog but to no avail.

Lin Qiye did not say anything. Instead, he spread his mental power and tried to penetrate the black mist as much as possible.

Although he could not clearly inspect his surroundings, he could still vaguely sense some things in the courtyard.

“Let’s go over there and take a look.” Lin Qiye found two corpses and immediately called Lonemoon and the others over.

He remembered that before they lost contact with Hou Tu, he had said there were two corpses beside him.

“What is it?” As they walked, Chang Shi suddenly frowned.

He bowed slightly and touched the ground.

“Blood! It’s monkey’s aura!”

Everyone’s expression changed. They also saw the blood on Chang Shi’s palm.

However, because everyone else was wearing shoes, only Chang Shi noticed it when his snake body touched the sticky blood.

“It couldn’t be...” Gui Nian’s expression was ugly.

“His spiritual fluctuation is still there, but I can’t sense his exact location.”

Lin Qiye tried his best to strengthen his mental power, but he could only vaguely sense a few auras in the courtyard.

Hou Tu’s aura was still strong, and he didn’t seem gravely injured.

However, it was strange that he didn’t respond.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept past. The few people trembled.

Lonemoon’s hair stood on end. “Something touched me!”

She clung tightly to Lin Qiye, her body stiff.

“Bastard!” Cold sweat seeped out of Chang Shi’s forehead. He took out his weapon and started waving it around.

Gui Nian also flapped his wings frantically, trying to blow away the black mist around him.

However, no matter what they did, the black mist was as sticky as glue and could not be dispelled.

Whoosh!

Another gust of cold wind swept past.

The scales on Chang Shi’s neck suddenly flew off, and more than ten pieces fell.

“Who is it? Who is it?” He clutched his neck, his eyes filled with fear.

How could people not be afraid and panic when they could not see the opponent?

As they pressed closer to each other, Lin Qiye’s eyes darted around as if he had already locked onto something.

“Hmph, a guy who hides in the dark!”

He sneered, and his invisible mental power began to condense and rise rapidly.

“I’ve caught you!” Lin Qiye let out a roar, and the turbulent waves of mental power instantly rushed to the side as fast as lightning.

Boom!

A violent collision sound was heard. Although they couldn’t see anything, they could roughly tell that a beam had been knocked down.

“Over there!”

“Catch him!”

Lonemoon and Chang Shi reacted quickly.

They all knew that Lin Qiye had made a move.

“I’ve already locked onto his position. Follow me!”

Gui Nian’s golden eyes shone even brighter as he stared into the fog and led the charge.

Lin Qiye followed behind them, maintaining a high level of concentration.

At the same time, he looked to the side.

Just now, when Chang Shi was attacked, Lin Qiye had caught a black figure quickly passing by him.

Although the figure was fast, Lin Qiye had already locked onto him with his mental power.

The lock was like a noose. Once it was put on, there was no way to escape unless it was beyond Lin Qiye’s detection range or his mental power was completely blocked.

Otherwise, the attacker would never be able to escape.

Although Lin Qiye’s mental power was affected by the black mist, it was not completely blocked.

As a result, after the black shadow was locked on, no matter how it hid, it was unable to escape from his lock.

“I’ve caught him!”

Chang Shi’s voice came from the black mist. Lonemoon and Gui Nian followed closely behind.

Soon, Chang Shi’s exclamation was heard again.

“Monkey! How could it be him?”

Lin Qiye frowned and quickly went forward to check.

Although the black fog blocked most of their vision, they could still see everything within half a meter.

He saw a one-meter-tall monkey demon covered in brown hair lying in a pile of broken wood chips.

Chang Shi quickly dug it out.

“His aura is still there. He must have merely fainted!”

After checking on Hou Tu’s condition, Chang Shi, Lonemoon, and Gui Nian heaved a sigh of relief.

“What’s going on? Why is it Hou Tu?”

Lonemoon could not understand. They had been ambushed one after another, and Lin Qiye had locked onto the ambusher.

Then, they attacked the ambusher.

But why did the target become Hou Tu?

Lonemoon did not suspect Lin Qiye had mistaken him for someone else because she had seen Lin Qiye’s abilities.

Moreover, after being with Lin Qiye for a long time, no one knew better than her how terrifying his strength was.
