”Meow!” Mu Ningxue heard a familiar cry in the mist.
She turned around and saw an intelligent cat-like beast shrouded in the darkness standing on the building less than fifty meters away. The creature's glittering eyes were staring right back at her through the mist.
Mu Ningxue was overjoyed. Wasn't that Jiang Yu's Night Rakshasa?
Mu Ningxue had turned off the communication device. The others on the team kept saying useless things. She preferred not to waste her time arguing with them, so she had no idea that Jiang Yu had sent his Contracted Beast over to help her.
”Meow!” the intelligent Night Rakshasa suddenly screeched. She quickened her pace and dashed toward Mu Ningxue like a black meteorite flying close to the ground.
Mu Ningxue was startled. Why was the creature lunging at her?
The Night Rakshasa was using Shadow Dance, allowing her to move rapidly through the shadow without touching the ground.
When the Night Rakshasa arrived in front of Mu Ningxue, she jumped up and waved her claws rapidly in the air.
Mu Ningxue finally realized there were lots of white silks around her. She was completely surrounded by the white silks without even noticing them. The mist had prevented her from noticing them.
The Night Rakshasa slashed the white silks with her claws. She lifted her sharp gaze and stared at a tall building ten meters away!
The building seemed to be taller than the rest of the buildings nearby. Mu Ningxue did not notice it at first, but as the Night Rakshasa fixed her gaze onto the building, she realized that it was not because the building was taller, but there was a monster sitting on top of it, the one that had spat out the silks!
The monster was able to change its color! It was currently gray-white, the exact same color of the buildings, allowing it to blend perfectly with the building it was sitting on. It was almost impossible to notice its presence without taking a closer look.
Mu Ningxue's heart started pounding heavily. The sea monsters had extraordinary capabilities and were extremely cunning. Humans would easily become the food in their stomach if they weren't careful enough!
”Feifei, let's focus on finding the White Sobbing Demon. Don't bother fighting it,” Mu Ningxue chose.
Mu Ningxue was unable to take a clear look at the creature that had disguised itself as part of the building, yet she knew that the creature was tough! It would be a waste of time to fight the creature now...
Judging from the Night Rakshasa's reaction, Mu Ningxue could easily tell that the Night Rakshasa was treating the creature as a worthy opponent.
Mu Ningxue decisively summoned a gust of wind and proceeded to search for the White Sobbing Demon when she saw the creature did not continue attacking them.
”Meow!”
The Night Rakshasa stopped Mu Ningxue when she was about to leave.
The Night Rakshasa stood on her feet and pointed her paw in a completely opposite direction.
”Are you telling me to go that way?” speculated Mu Ningxue.
”Meow!”
”Do you know where the White Sobbing Demon is?” asked Mu Ningxue excitedly.
Mu Ningxue suddenly remembered that the Night Rakshasa was the one that had injured the White Sobbing Demon. She was sniffing at her claws that had slashed the White Sobbing Demon's chest open. It seemed like the claws had caught the scent of the White Sobbing Demon's blood.
