Chapter 402 An unexpected encounter

Xiao Xiao just now was really like Superman. He appeared in front of him in an instant and saved him at the critical moment.

Amazing!
……

"hehe."

Xiao Xiao smiled and rubbed the child's head, "You're welcome."

"However, you should go somewhere else to play during this time."

"It's cold by the river."

"Besides, it's been very windy these past few days. If the water gets on your body, you'll catch a cold, which won't be good."

……

"Oh."

The children nodded obediently.

Xiao Xiao helped their two friends, but Xiao Ming's crying still left them with lingering fears.

They couldn't help but think that maybe it would be better to wait until the weather was better before coming here to play.

Therefore, they accepted Xiao Xiao's suggestion without any rejection.

……

"Big brother, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Xiao Xiao waved goodbye to the child who jumped away.

"Run slowly, and be careful not to fall."

"Oh~"

A child's voice came from far away.

Only when the child disappeared from his sight did Xiao Xiao turn around and stroll towards the river.

……

The reason why we asked those children not to come here during this period is of course the reason I just mentioned.

But it's also an excuse.

Because, the main reason is that there is a monster in this river.

It is still a powerful and cruel monster that wants to eat people.

……

Xiao Xiao stopped three steps away from the river.

Now he is in a state of exhausted spiritual power and weak body.

He didn't think he could get anything good from this monster.

……

Last time, all of his monsters were deployed, but they all let this monster escape.

This time, he would not give the monster any chance to escape.

……

Hooksnake, we'll meet soon.

Xiao Xiao took one last look at the rippling river surface and turned away.

……

The monster that he thought he would never encounter again unexpectedly appeared before him again.

Unexpectedly, just because he was a kind person, God gave him such a great gift.

……

He hadn't thought of going out of his way to find Hooksnake.

However, since he has come to the door, Xiao Xiao has to continue what he did not finish last time - to cut the weeds and eradicate them completely.

Xiao Xiao drooped his eyelids slightly, hiding the sudden cold light in his eyes.

……

He needs to be in his best condition to deal with this powerful monster.

So, he didn't alert the enemy.

But I wonder how Hooksnake is recovering from his last injury?

……

Xiao Xiao climbed up the slope, turned his head and looked back at the river not far away. His sight swept across the piers of the cross-river bridge and he saw the mess on the ground, which looked somewhat depressed and desolate.

And a bit weird.

Because the things all over the floor seemed as if their owner had not gone far away, but had been suddenly called away from "home" temporarily by something.

……

However, Xiao Xiao now has some understanding of this situation.

Those people...were all eaten by the hook snake?

……

"Coffee~"

Feeling the sudden coldness emanating from Xiao Xiao, Feifei couldn't help but cry out.

The silver-blue eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

"fine."

"I was just a little too excited to see an 'old friend'." Xiao Xiao reached out and touched Feifei's soft hair, explaining in a calm voice.

This place is already a remote location, and it is even more deserted today due to the cold weather. Xiao Xiao did not care about being seen by others for his strange behavior.

……

"Let's go, let's continue looking for monsters."

Xiao Xiao now suddenly felt an urgent need to recover his spiritual power.

The hook snake is a good target, but unfortunately it is too strong and violent, making it extremely difficult to subdue.

So, what he wants to encounter now is a monster that is not so strong.

There is one and only one.

And the hook snake is his final target.

……

Xiao Xiao put his hands in his pockets and walked aimlessly on the street.

His gaze seemed careless, but he did not miss any hidden corner.

In fact, Xiao Xiao can smell the breath of the monster without vision.

However, as humans who are used to using their eyes, we still subconsciously rely on them.

……

"Woo~"

Taotie didn't care at all about the evil spirit that flashed across the river water earlier.

Because, even if only a little bit of demonic energy was emitted, Taotie could feel the monster's strength... it was not weak.

It's just a bit regretful.

There is a delicious meal in front of you, but you don’t have the money to enjoy it.

This was simply impossible for the Taotie before it was sealed.

Although somewhat unwilling, Taotie decisively gave up the unknown monster in the river.

At this moment, its idea was surprisingly consistent with Xiao Xiao's. It wanted to find a less powerful monster, and then swallow it into its stomach in one gulp to soothe its depressed mood.

……

Taotie's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a big arc.

It hasn't eaten a monster for a long time.

I wonder what the monsters will taste like today?
……

However, Taotie's expectations were dashed.

Because, until it was getting dark and dusk fell, Xiao Xiao still had nothing to show for it.

Not to mention the monster that could be solved by "enforcing justice on behalf of heaven", he didn't even find a single hair of the monster.

It seemed that he just realized now that monsters are such rare creatures.
……

Because ever since he was able to "see", he would always encounter various monsters from time to time.

Good and bad, both.

This gave Xiao Xiao the illusion that monsters seemed to be everywhere.

But when he really looked for it himself, he realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

Xiao Xiao walked slowly towards the school.

He still held on to the beautiful hope that he might meet a monster on his way back.

Although a little disappointed, Xiao Xiao was not too depressed.

He just thought it was too simple.

However, he already had a plan in mind.

If it is really difficult to find monsters in the city, Xiao Xiao decided to go to the mountains and forests to look for Chimei.

Originally, he didn't want to go through so much trouble, and thought of finding a few monsters nearby to "feed" the Monster Mirror.

It seems that he really thought too simply.

Until he returned to school, Xiao Xiao still hadn't found the goal he wanted.

He could only shrug helplessly and decided to go to the mountains to look for Chimei tomorrow.

After all, if we delay for one more day, there may be more victims.

The hook snake is obviously not a good monster.

On the contrary, it is ferocious by nature, likes to eat human flesh, and is also very powerful.

Such a monster is too dangerous for ordinary people who cannot see it.

Those who were eaten by it probably wouldn't know how they lost their lives until they died.

"Boss, I won't be going to class tomorrow morning."

"Is something wrong?"

"Ah."

"understood."

Zhang Bo and the others have become accustomed to Xiao Xiao's occasional problems.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything and they didn't ask.

"Third brother, are you going to devote yourself to a beautiful woman again?"

Zhuge Yun couldn't help but make a joke.
