In the slums.
Li Qinghe’s body appeared in the shadows of a remote street.
“My Lord, you’re here.”
Benjamin, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to greet him.
Li Qinghe glanced at flamenco and said indifferently, “What’s the situation now?”
“There’s no movement so far. The others have split up and gone to different areas to camp. If there’s any movement, they will …”
Before Benjamin could finish, he heard a roar in the distance.
His expression froze as he turned to look in the direction of the roar. He could still see the fire in the distance.
At the same time, a voice came from the headset in Benjamin’s ear,”
“Captain! There was an explosion! Ming-Yue sector!”
With an unsightly expression, Benjamin looked up at Li Qinghe.
“My Lord?”
Li Qinghe’s body had already disappeared into the shadows, and his voice rang out. “I’ll go over first, you come over by yourself. Get someone to keep an eye on that area. ”

When Benjamin looked at the shadow again, Li Qinghe had already disappeared.
He didn’t stop and ran in the direction of the fire.
…
Outside the Ming-Yue sector, a tall black-haired man looked at the flames on the building with an ugly expression.
At the moment of the explosion, the residents in the neighborhood were awakened. The lights were turned on and people were flashing by the windows.
“Damn it … This is too big of a commotion.”
At this moment, Li Qinghe walked out from the shadows.
The black-haired man quickly stood up straight. “My Lord!”
“How’s the situation?”
“The vice-captain went in. He asked me to stay here and guard.”
“What about the other areas?”
“There are two brothers guarding it. I’ve also informed the others. They’ll be here soon!”
Li Qinghe nodded.
…
On the 20th floor, wisps of light wind circulated around Lin Hong’s body, forming a shield that kept the flames and thick smoke out.
He looked around and frowned slightly with a strange expression.
“Why isn’t there any aura of mutation?”
When a mutated object produced a mutation phenomenon, it would have a unique aura that could even affect a person’s mind.
Some mutants might be able to conceal themselves, but it was strange that they didn’t sense any aura of mutation when they were already at the scene.
Lin Hong walked through the ruins and arrived at a shattered space.
He looked at the damage around him, and there were even traces of crystallization. His brows furrowed deeper.
After a moment of silence, Lin Hong tapped his headphones. “Big Ming, it’s a little strange. There’s no aura of mutation here.”
At this moment, Benjamin had already arrived downstairs. As soon as he arrived, he received a call from Lin Hong, and his brows furrowed,”
“What? No aura of mutation? How is that possible?”
Lin Hong glanced at the signs of crystallization on the wall, and after weighing his tone, he asked with some doubt:
“This seems to be the mark caused by the explosion of a high-energy explosive bomb?”
“What?” Benjamin was stunned. “A bomb exploded?”
When Li Qinghe heard this voice, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
At this moment, her expression changed, and she suddenly turned her head to look in another direction.
Upon seeing Li Qinghe’s actions, both Benjamin and the black-haired man looked at her.
“My Lord? What’s wrong?”
Li Qinghe narrowed her eyes. “The person behind this isn’t here.”
Her body instantly disappeared.
Benjamin’s eyes widened slightly and he looked at the black-haired man who was a little confused.
Lin Hong’s puzzled voice could still be heard, “Big Ming? What’s going on?”
“We’ve been F * cking tricked!” Benjamin’s face turned ugly. Hong, get someone to go to the master’s place, Northwest. I’ll head over first. ”
…
A few minutes ago, not long after the explosion.
Under the shade of a tree in another area of the slums, the shadow twisted and a tall figure appeared.
He was wearing a grey leather armor and a silver mask.
He looked at the flames in the distance, and a thick black mist emerged from his body. A black bead condensed in his hands, and wisps of black mist churned on the bead. A strange scream sounded from inside.
The man with the silver mask looked up at the tall building not far away and chuckled. He poured his power into the black bead. The next moment, black shadows floated out of the bead and disappeared into the surrounding shadows.
From the inside of the tall building not far away, a faint black fog kept emerging. One could vaguely see black shadows floating in the black fog.
Not long after, wisps of black shadows floated out from the shadows and entered the black pearl.
As more and more black shadows merged into the black Pearl, the wailing sound from the Black Pearl became sharper, and the black fog churned more intensely.
“Not enough … Not enough …”
The silver-masked man looked at the bead and said in a low voice.
Just at this moment, his body stopped. The next moment, he quickly put away the black pearl, turned into a cloud of black mist, and merged into the shadow.
Just as he merged into the shadows, Li Qinghe appeared at his previous position.
Li Qinghe’s expression was incomparably cold. A long, slender black sword appeared in her hand.
The black longsword streaked across, tearing the shadow apart.
Blood seeped out from the shadows, but the black mist had disappeared.
Li Qinghe’s expression turned even colder. She glanced at the quiet building in the distance and frowned.
“If there’s a first time, there will be a second time. Don’t let me catch you!”
She squatted on the ground and looked at the blood under the shade of the tree. The blood was light black, and there were wisps of black mist on it that gradually dissipated.
The slates on the ground seemed to be corroded by blood, and there were sizzling sounds.
Li Qinghe’s gaze changed, “is the host about to be assimilated? No wonder he’s always been so sleazy. Now, he’s making more and more big moves. ”
Not long after, a few figures quickly approached and came to Li Qinghe’s side.
Looking at the tall building in the distance, Benjamin’s face changed, and he quickly said,”
“Milord, we have failed in our duty!”
Li Qinghe shook her head. “I don’t blame you. He’s very cautious.”
Only then did they see the fresh blood on the ground. Lin Hong’s eyes lit up, “My Lord, this is …”
“I injured him before, but he managed to escape. Keep an eye on any suspicious targets and see if they’re injured. ”
“Yes!”
“Let’s settle the matters here. Xili city’s governor is going to have a headache again. ”
…
In a room in the slums, a figure in leather armor fell out of the black mist.
There was a hideous wound on his upper body, from his right shoulder to his waist. Blood kept gushing out, dyeing the ground red.
The black mist continued to surge and seeped into his wound, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
He coughed and took off his mask, revealing a handsome and mature face. His originally meticulous black and white hair was now a little messy, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.
It was Xue Ren of the Feral Dog Gang.
“Ahem … Ahem …”
He coughed continuously, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
“That person just now … She’s at least a battle monarch, or even a battle ling … She can’t be the night watchman of Xili city …”
Xue Ren’s pupils shrank, and he coughed. “Could they be from the capital? Damn it … Why is there such a strong night watchman here?”
He took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it. His pale face regained a little bit of color.
However, the terrifying wound contained an extremely sharp sword intent and powerful dark power, preventing the wound from healing.
Xue Ren’s expression was unsightly. He could only allow the black mist to enter his body and heal his injuries.
Lying on the ground, his eyes flickered as he thought, no, I shouldn’t be so high profile. In the past few years, he had been devouring souls bit by bit, and no one had ever discovered it. Now, the commotion was too big. It’s too dangerous with that person around …”
As soon as he finished speaking, wisps of black mist seeped out of his eyes. His eyes turned from sinister to cold and evil.
“Delicious souls … How can it be enough to just devour them a little? How long would it take for me to be able to taste those delicious souls? As long as I pay a little more attention and don’t make such a big commotion, I’ll definitely be fine … Oh right! The soul quality of a genetic warrior is far superior to that of an ordinary person. Even 100 ordinary people can’t compare to one genetic warrior. Why don’t we just focus on devouring genetic warriors? if we are slightly more careful, the commotion will be smaller than devouring ordinary people. For example, Xue Wang …”
As soon as he finished speaking, his face became ferocious. The black mist in his eyes dissipated little by little. His whole body tensed up and he clenched his fists. Because he used too much force, his wounds that were no longer bleeding opened again, and blood slowly flowed out.
“No! No! He’s my only son, I can’t do such a thing!”
Xue Ren’s face was ferocious as he punched himself in the chest.
Boon!
His face paled and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
