Chapter 404 Hunting, Harvest and Bait

When the Chimei saw Xiao Xiao, it immediately pounced towards him with a scream.

Xiao Xiao could even see the other person's yellowed teeth in his wide-open mouth.

A foul smell followed.

Xiao Xiao frowned in disgust, "Qin Yuan."

"Xu~"

……

The screams of the three Chimei suddenly stopped.

There was a faint fishy smell floating in the air.

It smelled rotten, like the smell of bones deposited in a swamp, mixed with a hint of slippery, fishy sweetness, cold, sticky and extremely disgusting.

……

Xiao Xiao has already left that place.

The taste of Qinyuan is still so hard to accept.

However, the spiritual power fed back by the Demon Mirror made Xiao Xiao's mood, which had been a little gloomy since he saw the hook snake, become sunny.

Although the amount of spiritual power transmitted was not much, after all, there were only three Chimeis, but it was very pure and gentle.

Xiao Xiao felt that every cell in his body was moaning with pleasure.

……

Finally there was some gain, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had already prepared himself to return empty-handed again before coming here, after all, he had searched for a whole day yesterday and found nothing. However, his spiritual power needed to be restored urgently, and there was also a monster that he needed to deal with.

Xiao Xiao later searched the forest inside and out and found five Chimei in different places.

……

Sitting in the car on the way back to school, Xiao Xiao looked out the window. It was already getting dark.

Neon lights were shining not far away, and the light from the car lights between the cars was so bright that it was even a bit dazzling.

The two complement each other, making the darkness of winter nights less unpredictable and intimidating.

……

A total of eight Chimei were discovered today.

It can be considered a fruitful harvest.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but press his temples. The pain in his brain didn't ease much, but the nausea in his chest and throat dissipated a lot.

Xiao Xiao was still satisfied with the effect.

After all, what he couldn't stand the most was the nauseous feeling of wanting to vomit but unable to.

As for the pain, Xiao Xiao said that he had endured the worst of it, so this little pain was nothing.

Xiao Xiao paused suddenly. What he said seemed to be a bit arrogant and domineering, but why did it seem a bit sad?

In fact, he didn't really want to get used to pain or anything like that if he could avoid it.

……

In the next few days, Xiao Xiao "swept" several forests he knew inside and outside Yanjing City.

The harvest is quite gratifying.

Including the original eight Chimei, Xiao Xiao "fed" a total of fifty-four Chimei to Yaojian.

Among them, there are two Chimeis, which are not only much larger in size than other Chimeis, but also particularly powerful compared to other Chimeis.

Maybe it’s because it absorbed a lot of human essence?

Xiao Xiao guessed.

Such a Chimei is equivalent to ten ordinary Chimei.

The spiritual power fed back by the Demon Mirror is several times that of other Chimei.

……

After this major replenishment, Xiao Xiao clearly felt that the spiritual power flowing in his meridians had become much stronger.

The Dantian is no longer empty, but has a sense of fullness.

The pain in my brain was fading.

And the nausea that had been following me like a shadow has completely disappeared.

……

Xiao Xiao knew that he had almost recovered.

This hunting trip not only replenished his spiritual power, but also increased it.

In response to this, Xiao Xiao said that maybe in the future he would like to look for Chimei in various forests.

It not only eliminates harm for the people, but also strengthens ourselves. Why not do it?
...On Saturday, as soon as the door of the dormitory building opened, Xiao Xiao walked out at a leisurely pace.

The dormitory manager looked at the sky outside with some surprise. The sky was still quite dark and almost dark, and the cold air made him shiver involuntarily.

The dormitory manager's back, which was already hunched, became even more bent.

The dormitory manager couldn't help but ask, "So early?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao responded with a smile, then nodded slightly to the old man and walked out of the dormitory.

The old man silently looked at Xiao Xiao's back for a while, then smiled and shook his head. Maybe this student had something to do?
……

If Xiao Xiao knew the dormitory manager's guess, he might nod in agreement with some surprise.

He really had something to do.

It was an important matter that was delayed for several days due to my own injuries.

……

When Xiao Xiao arrived at the riverside where he had felt the breath of the hook snake last time, it was already getting light.

Of course, for most people, the sky is still dark and the visibility is somewhat poor.

However, the bright reflections from the river surface do add a bit of hazy brightness to this space.

……

It was quiet.

Xiao Xiao could clearly hear the sound of flowing water.

The cold wind blew, and the sound of newspapers rustling could be heard.

Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the things he saw last time were still there, with no one interested in them and no one taking them.

……

Maybe when the weather gets hotter, other homeless people will arrive here.

By then, these things will have new homes and new owners.

……

Xiao Xiao stared at the river surface silently for a while.

Not a single evil spirit leaked out.

This made Xiao Xiao a little worried. Could it be that the hook snake had changed its habitat?
After all, this place is sparsely populated, which means it is sparsely populated.

After the few homeless people were eaten by the hook snake, probably no one else would come here except the kids who came here to play like we met last time.

If it were summer, there would probably be more people coming here to cool off.

……

But now, it is a cold winter.

In any case, Xiao Xiao was somewhat uncertain and worried as to whether the hook snake would still stay in this river as staying here would mean losing its food source.

……

Xiao Xiao walked slowly along the river bank, occasionally looking up at the sky and then down at the river.

He used himself as bait, hoping to lure the hook snake out.

……

He sincerely hoped that the hook snake was still in the water.

Otherwise, where would he find it?

……

"Coffee~"

"Ouch~"

Feifei and Taotie shouted almost in unison.

Xiao Xiao also noticed something was wrong.

……

There was no wind but the river was surging with ripples one after another. The waves were rising and falling slowly and were getting bigger and bigger.

The waves come one after another, each one higher than the last.

At this time, a cold wind blew, and the water surface seemed to be stimulated, becoming more and more turbulent.

It was getting darker beneath the water.

It seemed as if there was something unknown and dangerous hidden under the water, spying on the humans near the river.

And, always be ready to act when the opportunity arises.
