Chapter 24 Encountering a Demon

The ground, dragged by the demon's enormous body, gradually filled with a foul stench.

A red demonic face suddenly appeared on the grotesque face, with a sharp mouth and fangs, a third eye on its forehead, and a pair of horns on its head.

After the demon mask appeared, its third eye was tightly closed, leaving only two yellow pupils that moved nimbly back and forth, searching for the demon's figure.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Shen took out a gas mask from her bag and put it on.

They had all seen the forecast and knew that this demon might be good at releasing poison gas, so they were prepared.

"Did you find it?" Luo Shen said in a deep voice, then her figure grew taller and stronger, and her surging muscles turned her loose short-sleeved shirt into a tight-fitting outfit.

At the same time, the shadow hidden behind her revealed an ancient costume, as if she were being parasitized by some unknown entity.

This is one of her strengths in managing the household.

The stronger the jealousy in one's heart, the stronger the power exerted by one's natal spirit.

The strange-faced creature didn't answer; instead, it started running quickly, stretching its fingers towards the wall as it ran.

In an instant, miniature ghost faces appeared on the wall, their eyes darting around eerily.

"Where?"

"Where?"

"Where?"

The masked figures spoke one by one, their voices overlapping, which inexplicably made people feel irritated.

"Damn it, where did it go?"

The strange face showed an impatient expression, its chest heaving as if it was trying its best to endure something.

But the demons never showed themselves; only the wind, carried by the night, gently brushed against their faces.

Helpless, Guai Mian took out his phone and urged Du Wang to hurry up.

Just then, a fierce gust of wind suddenly attacked the back of his head!

He didn't have time to escape, or even to react, as the demonic mask on his face flashed to the back of his head, transforming into a giant mask three meters tall, like a solid shield that blocked the attack.

"Crunch, crunch!"

A chilling chewing sound rang out, and the demon mask shattered into pieces.

The strange-faced man was crushed into the mud, just like the house before him.

The once flat ground now has a huge, trailing crater, as if it had been slapped by the tail of a snake demon.

"grass."

The grotesque mask, its body aching all over, leaped out of the ground. Fearing being chased by the snake demon, it vanished instantly, swapping places with the ghost mask that had been on the wall.

In order to survive, he no longer concealed his abilities.

If it weren't for his natal spirit helping him withstand the demon's attack, he would have been dead!

"Damn it!"

"This demon's power is immense!"

The strange-faced man's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he glared angrily at Luo Shen: "Why didn't you warn me earlier!"

The goddess Luo looked completely innocent: "I didn't see any demons at all."

"Impossible." The strange-faced man didn't believe her.

"Believe it or not." Luo Shen rolled her eyes, too lazy to explain.

The strange-faced man cursed the woman in his heart, but dared not say it out loud.

Just as the two were facing off, Mumu and Du Wang, who were also wearing gas masks, finally arrived.

"I'm injured, please help me recover." The strange-faced man looked overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior.

However, Mumu glanced at him and shook her head, saying, "The injury is too minor."

The strange-faced man cursed under his breath.

However, facing another level 2 transcendent being, he didn't want to fall out before killing the snake demon, so he turned to Du Wang and ordered, "Quickly search the surrounding area."

Du Wang ignored him and squatted down to examine the marks on the ground.

The giant pit is oval in shape, with relatively straight lines on both sides, narrowing at the front and rounded at the rear, like a thick tail that slapped the ground and then quickly slid away.

But even if you manage to slide away, you need somewhere to hide; you can't just disappear into thin air.

So Du Wang looked at the faint black mist inside the pit, searching for something different.

But his behavior was incomprehensible to the freak.

"What are you doing?" His face was covered by the ghost mask again, his tone sinister as he strode over.

Mumu stood in front of him, saying, "Wait until Chongtong has finished reading."

Although she didn't know what Chong Tong was doing, she believed that the other party would definitely not joke about their life.

The grotesque man clenched his fists, veins bulging, his ferocity almost impossible to conceal: "He's wasting his time; the snake demon might have already escaped."

Since he started wearing the mask, his temper has become increasingly volatile.

"Then let him finish reading it." Even when faced with the ferocious demon face, Mumu maintained a calm expression, seemingly unafraid.

The words of abuse almost reached the monster's lips, but he ultimately held back.

He turned to face the Goddess of the Luo River and gave her a look.

Luo Shen twisted her neck and slowly approached Du Wang from behind.

But just then, the young man crouching on the ground suddenly shouted, "The Goddess of the Luo River, it's behind you!"

"What?!"

The goddess Luo looked shocked and turned to throw both fists.

"Bang!"

An immense pressure of air came crashing down, like a pile driver, pressing Luo Shen's legs hard into the brick pavement.

Only at this moment did everyone finally see the true face of the demon.

It was a huge snake tail, dark blue in color, with smooth skin.

Hidden among the dense scales is a hideous, bloody maw with two sharp teeth on each side, resembling a rat's mouth.

Its appearance filled the air with a foul stench, as if one had stumbled into a poisonous swamp.

Even gas masks couldn't completely block out the strange smell, making everyone present feel dizzy.

Luo Shen, who was facing the snake demon, was so overwhelmed by the stench that she squinted her eyes and felt weak all over.

Seeing that someone was blocking its tail, the snake demon flicked its tail lightly, and a cracking sound burst in the air.

"Snapped!"

The giant-like goddess Luo was sent flying, crashing into the courtyard wall of a nearby house.

"Damn it! Who's up so late at night?!"

Before long, angry residents rushed out wielding brooms.

As it happened, the goddess Luo stood up from the ground.

He was immediately terrified by the enormous size of the two-meter-tall figure.

"Holy crap, I must be sleepwalking."

He stood frozen in place, then was knocked unconscious by Luo Shen's punch.

At the same time, the snake demon vanished again, without a trace.

Seeing this, the strange-faced creature suddenly turned its head and stared intently at Du Wang: "How did you find it? Did you find its parasite?"

"almost."

Du Wang nodded: "The reason we can't see it is because it's not in front of us, but here."

He lifted his foot and tapped the ground.

In fact, in the investigation department's files, some people have already speculated that the snake demon's sudden disappearance might be due to it parasitizing underground creatures.

For example, ants, earthworms, etc.

Based on his observation of the density of the black fog on site, he discovered that there was a spot in the pit about the size of a fingernail that was filled with an even denser black fog.

This undoubtedly proves the researchers' conjecture and is consistent with its ability to conceal itself.

"Ahem." The masked man coughed twice, then said in a harsh voice, "Good that you've found him. Now it's time to force this guy out!"

They don't have much time. Residents in the vicinity will definitely call the police after hearing the noise, and once the police arrive, the authorities will certainly be on their way.

Therefore, they must deal with the demons and leave the scene within minutes.

But the masked man harbored even deeper schemes.

He asked, "Double pupils, can you tell where it is?"

Du Wang observed his surroundings through the perspective of his suspended pupils. There was a faint black mist spreading around, as if the demons were still brewing their next attack.

So he replied, "I can only be sure it didn't leave, but I don't know its exact location."

The strange-faced man stretched his shoulders: "It's okay, I'll find it. Mumu, you find the right opportunity."

"No problem!" Mumu drew her longsword.

Du Wang slowly stepped aside. His mission was basically complete, and now he just had to wait for things to develop further.

Standing in the middle of the stone-paved road, the strange-faced man took a deep breath and then stretched out his hands to touch the ground.

The next second, Ghost Face's third eye suddenly opened, revealing a strange blood-red pupil!
