Now, it’s because I have nothing in common with you guys and can’t communicate.

Mei: "I feel they are all pretty much the same."

After riding the electric bike for a few more minutes, Mei stopped at the door of a 24-hour unmanned convenience store, locked the electric bike and went in.

Xia followed Mei inside. Mei bought some snacks and two bottles of water, one of which was green tea for herself, and the other was the kind of soda Xia sipped at stadium concerts.

Xia gave the soda to herself, walked out of the 24-hour unmanned convenience store, and sat down on the round stone block at the door to adjust her skirt.

Mei: "Okay, now we just need to call a taxi. It's really quiet here."

There was not even the chirping of insects. Xia opened the sweet water, took a sip, nodded, and stood next to Mei.

What a pity, it’s already evening. If it weren’t for this concert, I would be looking for the possessed person in the urban village now.

Xia suddenly had an idea and wanted to know if there were any assassins near this sparsely populated industrial area under construction, so he expanded his spiritual sense.

23 Run! Keep running! Don’t look back!

His spiritual consciousness spread outward rapidly, and Xia's pupils also slowly dilated, as if he was distracted. In fact, his thoughts also spread to an unknown place along with his spiritual consciousness.

The purple light source with heavier "spiritual energy" made Xia's pupils focus. The level of the second-level cultivation was better than Kai**, and should have reached the upper level of the second level. Moreover, it did not look like a human. It was very big in size. It was a monster!

Xia was a little confused. Are there such things as monsters in modern times? He has lived in modern times for seventeen years, so why has he never seen one?

Were they dealt with by the authorities without their knowledge?

Although Xia could handle the high-level second-level level, it was obvious that it was definitely not an easy task for him to handle it with his current level of only one level and the soul power of the third level.

The focus time of the spreading spiritual consciousness was quite long, and Xia felt that the monster had discovered him.

A huge monster is rushing towards this side at a rapid speed.

Xia even felt like he was dreaming. His spiritual sense told him that it was a monster over three meters tall, and its appearance was similar to that of a gorilla, only a little bigger.

Xia quickly withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

"We should go."

If Mei had not been there, Xia would never have left. After all, his Ten Thousand Souls Banner was made of ordinary materials. He did not know that there were monsters in this world before, so he had never thought of making it with special materials. Whether it was steel or an ordinary fan, it was the same to Xia, all ordinary items.

But now we know that there are monsters. If we have monsters, how can there be a shortage of other things with "spiritual energy"?

Even if he doesn't recognize those things, they all lead to the same goal. Knowing their properties, he can probably create something similar to his idea.

A demon beast of the second level of cultivation, whether it is its soul, blood, flesh or skeleton, is a great temptation to Xia.

As a cultivator of magic, he could take every inch of the body of this gorilla-like monster, even its fur, and use it all to improve his own strength.

But not now, because Mei is here.

Xia felt that he could defeat it, but it would definitely come at a heavy price. It would be okay if he fought alone, but if he had to protect a mortal, then the odds would really go from 70:30 to 50:50.

Mei: "Huh? But I took an online taxi."

The agreed location for online ride-hailing services is right at the door of this 24-hour unmanned convenience store. What will happen to the online ride-hailing services if they leave?

"Cancel the ride-hailing app. We should leave and find another way to get a taxi."

Xia decisively took Mei's hand and pulled her up from the stone pier.

Being discovered by the monster, it is a life-or-death situation. It is Xia's fault if he still cares about holding hands or not.

Mei staggered when Xia pulled her, and the phone in her hand almost fell to the ground. Her eyes were full of confusion.

Xia suddenly seemed anxious, which made Mei confused about what was going on. But she was not the kind of person who would just follow the crowd and blindly follow what others said. She should at least know the reason.

"What happened? What happened to you?"

Xia: "Something is coming."

Mei frowned. She could tell that Xia wanted to pull her into the alley.

In the deserted industrial area, there were only a man and a woman. Xia suddenly seemed like a different person, trying to pull her into the alley on the street.

What does he want to do?

At this moment, the information that was often circulated online about a shady school otaku following an underage girl and dragging her into an alley to rape her quickly flashed through Mei's mind.

Mei's heart tightened and she suddenly felt a little scared.

"Whatever you want to do."

Xia: "Something is coming."

Xia reached out to knock Mei unconscious, but Mei, as if anticipating this, suddenly distanced herself from Xia, holding her phone high in the air with a panicked expression. But she forced herself to remain calm and said in a trembling voice, "The ride-hailing car I ordered will be here soon. It's only a little over a hundred meters away. Wait a moment, it'll be here soon."

Xia's face darkened. Damn.

If this monster had not been attracted by his spiritual sense, Xia would not have stayed here.

"It's too late now."

That monster was so fast. What on earth was it?! A Level 2 monster that big and fast didn't make sense.

In just a few words, the monster was almost here, and Xia felt that the monster had locked onto him.

Mei was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean it's too late?"

The online taxi turned the corner and slowly drove towards the intersection, and Mei's worries were slightly relieved.

How did Xia suddenly become

"Bam—"

"boom!"

A white monster over three meters tall rushed out from the corner corridor, jumped high, fell down at high speed, and slammed into the online car-hailing vehicle. The online car-hailing vehicle was flattened in an instant. There was an explosion, and flames emerged and burned under the monster's feet.

The black cloth was lifted up by the heat of the flames and floated in the air. The twisted flames and the hideous monster walked cautiously step by step towards Mei on the road - Xia behind him.

Like a demon walking out of purgatory, with burning flames and a huge body, he took every step as if walking on the edge of fear, getting closer little by little.

Mei felt that Xia's dangerous thoughts were instantly interrupted by the figure of the monster smashing the online car-hailing service.

Mei opened her mouth and stared at the monster blankly. At this moment, she didn't know what she should do.

Well, what is that.

It was as high as a floor, and with just one heavy blow, it smashed a new energy nitrogen online taxi rented from an unmanned APP into pieces.

Mei stayed where she was, motionless, like a log.

Xia grabbed Mei's arm, turned around and threw her against the glass door of the 24-hour unmanned convenience store.

"Bam—"

With a loud bang, the monster's hooves hit Xia's body. Xia's arm muscles swelled instantly, and he used the monster's force to push it heavily to the ground. The asphalt road, which had just been paved a few days ago, was dented. The shock wave from the monster's body sent Xia flying backwards. His feet were worn out for several meters on the asphalt road, and the soles of his shoes were worn out.

Xia turned around and glared at Mei in front of the glass door, shouting, "Run! Run forward! Don't look back! Keep running!"

Speed, strength, weight, and the ability to attack from a distance, this monster is definitely not simple. Xia has no time to protect Mei, and now even he has to take it seriously.

Mei was about to cry, she got up in a panic, wiped away her tears, and scanned the code on the shared bicycle in front of the 24-hour unmanned convenience store with trembling hands.

The monster rolled over and got up, then started to bite Xia.

Xia pulled out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from his trouser pocket, which had never held even a single soul. Taking advantage of the monster's attack, he grabbed its scales and flipped it into the air. The paper fan of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner passed over the monster's eyes, but Xia did not end up blinding the monster.

“Sizzle…”

spark.

Just like steel rubbing against a concrete road, the Fan Wanhun Banner created sparks on the monster's eyes.

Xia's pupils shrank slightly and his heart tightened.

24 Spiritual Realm! Peak of the Third Transformation!

This is not right. The eyes are not protected by scales. Even the soulless Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which Xia spent two hours to make, did not cause any damage to the monster's eyes, but only made him blink.

There shouldn't be such a big gap between the first and second turns. At least he should have one eye injured.

When Xia was distracted, the monster raised its big hoof high.

Xia stepped on the monster's hoof and did a backflip, landing steadily on the ground.

Are modern monsters so outrageous? Is this really the second transformation? Is it really just the second transformation?

Xia held the Wanhun Banner fan in his hand as if he was holding a ruler. This was his only spiritual weapon now.

If even this thing can't cause any harm.

The monster and Xia started a close combat, and Xia fought and retreated. Perhaps because Mei's movement of riding a shared bicycle to escape was too large, she attracted the monster's attention.

Or perhaps it felt that it would gain nothing by fighting with Xia, so it actually ran towards Mei who was riding a shared bicycle.

Xia tried hard to stop it, biting his fingertips. Blood flowed in the air and attached to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, forming something like sword energy.

The blood mist condensed into a line and slashed heavily on the monster's eyes, causing a series of explosions.

Mei only felt that the sound of fighting behind her was getting louder and louder, the sound of explosions, the sound of running, Mei could even hear the monster's gasping behind her, tears streaming down her face, she was riding her bike at the fastest speed, but it was still getting closer.

Mei really wanted to look back, but Xia's words "Don't look back" lingered in her mind for a long time.

Mei shivered and lowered her body, her adrenaline reaching its limit.

"boom"

The white translucent air cannon in the monster's mouth was aimed at Mei. Xia drew more and more blood from his fingertips, and hit the monster's head with one blow, causing the monster to lower its head.

The huge explosion when the air cannon hit the ground did not hit the front wheel, but it broke the rear wheel of the shared bicycle.

The car fell to the ground and slid on the ground. Mei was thrown to the ground and her forehead hit the flower bed beside the road.

Mei felt the vision in her right eye turn blood red. She was riding too fast and was thrown hard, with her legs, knees and forehead hitting the flower bed.

Mei didn't feel any pain, but her legs felt numb. She wanted to struggle to get up, but it seemed that her adrenaline had been used up while riding the bike, and her trembling hands ultimately prevented her from getting up.

Mei raised her head in despair, Xia was finally caught by the monster.

With just one blow, Xia was knocked away and his body hit the wall of the factory in the industrial zone. The wall shattered and Xia was like a rag doll. The fan in his hand fell to the ground and his worn shoes exposed the soles of his feet.

Bricks from the broken wall were exposed on his body.

Lying on the ground, Xia's eyes were a little dazed. He hardened his heart and bit the tip of his tongue to make himself feel a little more alert.

The broken road was burning with flames along the way, and the flower beds on the roadside were burned. The monsters that were not being attacked took a cold look at Xia, who was lying on the ground and was pressed by the bricks of the wall and had no movement. Then his eyes looked at Mei who was trembling beside the flower bed in the distance.

The monster moved, like the god of death, and every step made Mei feel incomparable despair.

I'm going to die...

It turns out that there really is a monster, and Xia just wanted to take me away. It turns out that I was just thinking too much. He has always been a good person.

Mei's tears mixed with the blood flowing from her forehead.

If, if I had agreed to let Xia leave before this monster arrived at the 24-hour unmanned convenience store, would the outcome be different now?

Xia tried his best to protect himself, but in the last few minutes before his death, he still misunderstood what he wanted to do to him.

"What a shrew, silly Miss Mei."

Mei smiled bitterly and spoke weakly to herself.

"There are so many unsolved mysteries in this world. Why do you have to twist everything? Is there nothing trustworthy about Xia in your eyes?"

Mei supported her body and slowly climbed up, facing the huge monster that was more than three meters tall, as tall as a floor, and had light purple blood flowing.

At least, die standing up. At least, before you die, don't act too cowardly!

Mei thinks so, but the dignity of the weak is useless.

The curtain of light shot up into the sky, and the broken walls, the main road, the surrounding flower beds and the burning flames rose up in violation of the laws of physics, and the wish of not facing death directly was shattered.

Mei's body also floated in the air, her eyes full of confusion, "This, this is."

Xia, who was pressed by bricks under the wall, slowly floated up. The monster was puzzled by this scene that went against common sense and silently took two steps back.

When faced with something unknown, even monsters would feel fear.

Xia seemed to have changed... No, he just changed.

His long, smooth hair fell like a waterfall, and the ancient costume he wore made him look more than just an ordinary person.
