Chapter 173 Let's get started!
"How are Lao Fu and the others?" Xu Si asked directly as he landed on the rooftop.
"They're alright, they've already taken refuge in the air-raid shelter! Just to be safe, they'll probably wait until our hunt is over or the [Lou Mi] leaves before they go out to gather supplies!"
Xu Si nodded, agreeing that this was the most reasonable and safest arrangement.
"Hmm," Xu Si nodded, agreeing with Fu Xiaojian's approach.
"What time do the [Lou Mi] usually eat?"
"It's usually noon, so you might have to wait a while!"
Although I don't know the approximate time now.
However, after spending a long time in the rainy world, Chen Pei's own experience became more obvious and accurate.
The group stood on the edge of the rooftop of the government building, the fine rain falling silently on them, yet they were quietly separated by their respective sequence energies.
The city beneath my feet was deathly silent, with only the faint groans of buildings struggling under the weight of the dampness coming from afar.
Time loses its measure here, and even its concept.
The time displayed on Xu Si Fruit 27 had long since lost its reference value, so the group could only wait idly.
It's like the four new ceiling lights installed on the government building.
"This is my first time 'ambushing' a ghost. Before, I was always the one being chased by ghosts!" As if sensing that the air was too quiet, Tashan started the conversation.
"Knife, what do we do now? Should we just spray it on their faces or wait until they're feeding?"
Su Su closed her eyes and concentrated, her dark golden energy flowing slowly across her body like breathing.
She didn't speak, but the slightly tense muscle lines revealed her focus at that moment. She was a true martial artist, and even more so, a true battle maniac.
Chen Pei's body outline appeared somewhat blurred in the rain. At this moment, his Ten Thousand Serpents had already spread to several kilometers away.
This distance is only a few breaths' journey for Lou Mi.
"Let's just see how things go!" Xu Si didn't know how many strange things would happen, so he just needed to make a profit today.
"Got it, get to work now that you're here!" Tashan's voice was curt.
Xu Si was full of questions.
Top-level understanding?
I'm asking you to be adaptable, not to jump right in and start working!
Be nice!
There are just too many, we still have to run!
"It's here!" Just as Xu Si was trying to correct Ta Shan's misconceptions, Chen Pei had already sensed the message from Wan She.
Su Su opened her eyes at the same time, and her aura reached an unprecedented peak.
Since activating the "Live to Die" trait, Su Su's temperament has undergone a dramatic change.
Xu Sixing looked into the distance, scanning the hazy horizon. The star vein's perception network stretched out in all directions from him like an invisible spider web.
Almost simultaneously, an extremely subtle tremor came from the ground.
At first, it sounded like a distant, muffled drumbeat, but then it became clearer and more intense.
That wasn't the footsteps of a single giant beast, but the earth's groans of unbearable strain as dozens, even hundreds, of enormous creatures marched forward simultaneously.
At this moment, diagonally opposite the government building, deep in the gray rain, a silhouette that swayed and moved like a building could be vaguely seen.
They moved at incredible speed, each step carrying a crushing weight.
At this moment, they were like running freely in a jungle, with towering buildings like withered trees, which they easily bypassed.
As the distance closed, the true appearance of [Lou Mi] gradually became clear.
It was a bizarre creature that defied description.
Their appearance is roughly similar to that of a deer magnified dozens of times, but their bodies are not made of flesh and blood, but of a grayish-brown substance that looks like a mixture of rock, moss and decaying wood.
It contains many fragments of post-apocalyptic civilization, such as various ruins and decaying buildings.
The rough surface is covered with grooves of varying depths and nodular protrusions, and in some places, there are also wet, dark green, flocculent floating substances that resemble algae.
Their head proportions are somewhat bizarre, with huge eye sockets without eyeballs, and the antlers on their heads are twisted and gnarled, like a dry and intertwined forest, or like karst limestone with jagged stalagmites.
At the tips of those "withered corners," Xu Si also saw a faint, eerie energy fluctuation.
This should be one of the characteristics of the [Lou Mi] mentioned in the system prompt – a withered corner and a prison shadow.
As they run, the surrounding water mist is absorbed by their bodies.
As they continued their journey, many of the "Lou Mi" (a group of people) fell behind, which was clearly their dining area.
Xu Sixing discovered that the earlier the [Lou Mi] stopped, the smaller its size and the smaller its energy fluctuations.
Damn it.
Even in the bizarre world, there are social classes.
Survival of the fittest, the strong reign supreme.
"Goodness..."
Tashan gasped. Even though he was mentally prepared, seeing these giant beasts that looked like they came out of mythology still sent chills down his spine.
"This thing... is fucking huge." Tashan was already very tall, but it couldn't even match the size of Lou Mi's eyeballs.
Su Su's dark golden eyes locked onto the approaching Lou Mi.
Those were the three largest heads in the elk colony.
One of the [Lou Mi], clearly the leader, was rushing towards them at high speed.
The other two stopped nearby, but they were also enormous.
"There are twenty-three in total. The largest one at the front is probably the leader of this small group, and their target is likely this place." The Ten Thousand Snakes that Chen Pei had deployed on the road had seen the entire movement of this group of [Lou Mi].
"Mother! How am I supposed to lure this monster? It could probably crush me to death with a single kick!" Faced with such a huge and bizarre creature, Tashan began to doubt himself.
[Level 3 eerie phenomenon detected: Lou Mi]
【Special Features: Gravity Siphon, Eerie Deer Cry, Withered Antlers and Shadows】
[We strongly recommend staying away from this place immediately!!!]
Xu Si had a bit of a toothache; those two were probably also level 3 strange creatures!
3 versus 3?
Ah, no!
Is it 1 to 3.5? The two [Lou Mi] were eating and didn't come over.
This area around the ZF building seems to be the exclusive territory of that leader.
It seems that the size of the human population does indeed have a significant impact on the attraction of these strange phenomena.
The four of them standing there didn't seem to attract much attention from the eerie atmosphere.
Although among them, Xu Si had a concealment cloak, and Chen Pei's characteristics naturally included a concealment effect.
But that doesn't mean they shouldn't treat Tashan and Susu like human beings!
This is good, as it gives them time and opportunity to deal with the leader of the [Lou Mi].
"Get ready."
As they got closer, the leader of the [Lou Mi] seemed to change for a moment. He could sense several small insects, which would greatly affect the taste and his mood while eating.
Its pace quickened, and Xu Si finally saw the shadow trailing from its horn looming over them.
"Make your move," Xu Si said in a low voice, no longer delaying.
Tashan transformed into a rock giant and leaped off the building.
Chen Pei's figure vanished on the rooftop.
Su Su's body was enveloped in a silent flow of dark golden energy. Her fists clenched slightly, and her knuckles emitted a faint popping sound. She was already prepared for battle.
The heavy footsteps grew closer, and the ground began to tremble rhythmically.
As the rain parted, the outline of a colossal creature suddenly became clear.
