The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Borrowing Some Merit

Because, when nightfall descends, those things will pour out from their nests.

Lin Xiaoyan and the others quickly descended the mountain, and now Lin Xiaoyan was able to keep up with their pace.

By the time nightfall came, Lin Xiaoyan and the others had reached a town.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the lamb and beef skewers in front of her, her mouth watering.

"Smells so good!"

Lin Xiaoyan swallowed hard, her gaze fixed on the roasting skewers.

Shi Er walked over and said with a smile, "After a few more days of eating, you won’t say that anymore!"

"We’ve eaten meat for five whole days now, I just want to eat something vegetarian!"

The owner heard Shi Er’s words and laughed heartily.

"Young lady, if you stay with us a bit longer, you’ll get used to eating meat."

Shi Er shook her head, "No, no, I can’t get used to it."

The skewers were done, and the owner brought them to the table, where Lin Xiaoyan immediately sat down.

Xuan Er watched Lin Xiaoyan’s impatient expression and laughed, "Xiao Lin, quickly taste how it is."

Lin Xiaoyan: "You all should eat too, it smells really good!"

Shiyi: "I’m not eating, I ordered noodles, I’ll eat noodles later."

Xuan Wu: "I don’t want to eat either, you all go ahead."

Xuan Liu: "You all eat, we’ve been eating three meals a day, and I feel like I’m covered in grease!"

Seeing that no one else was eating, Lin Xiaoyan indulgently dug in.

Lin Feng ate two skewers and stopped.

Gold liked these foods very much, so Lin Feng kept feeding Gold.

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo, along with Lin Xiaoyan, ate heartily.

Xuan Er and the others watched the three eating so deliciously, and their gaze turned to the skewers on the table, wondering if they were really that good.

Shi Er observed Lin Xiaoyan eating so heartily and couldn’t resist taking a lamb skewer herself.

With someone beside her eating so eagerly, she found herself able to eat too.

However, ultimately she only managed two skewers before she was full.

At night, Lin Xiaoyan and the others watched the surveillance screen, observing the wolves in the mountains fighting with those things that were neither human nor beast.

Lin Xiaoyan asked, "What are these things? Are they human or not?"

Xuan Er looked at the screen and zoomed in the camera.

Suddenly, a "person" with pale skin and no hair suddenly raised its head, its sharp gaze fixed on the camera.

Then, they saw that "person" suddenly leap up, trying to smash the camera.

Xuan Shiyi operated the drone, making it fly up quickly.

The creature jumped for it the first time and didn’t reach it.

Its eyes were fixed tightly on the drone, and the next second, it leaped fiercely, knocking the drone to the ground.

Then, Lin Xiaoyan and the others saw through the fallen camera the entire body of the monster captured on screen.

It was neither human nor beast, having human limbs, but its arms and legs were unusually long!

The whole body was pale, lacking any reproductive organs.

Its mouth opened, filled with rows of sharp teeth, densely packed like sea urchin spines.

Its eyes were jet black, without any whites.

It lacked ears...no ears.

Its fingers and toes were equipped with sharp nails, as evident from the bone-deep wounds inflicted on wolves, those nails were not just average hard.

The main problem was, there were quite a few of them!

From the camera view, mid-mountain there seemed to be dozens!

And no one knows how many more are hiding in their caves.

"These monsters seem formidable, having wiped out the wolves!"

Xuan Liu watched as the monsters slaughtered the wolves, head lowered, and drank blood and ate flesh wantonly, his expression serious.

"They won’t be easy to deal with."

"These things move so fast!"

Xiao Bo watched another monitor and, upon seeing how quickly the monster darted away, he cried out in shock.

Xuan Er and the others quickly looked over, seeing the monster’s incredible speed, faster than a car.

"What exactly are these things?" Xuan Shier asked.

Xuan Er stared at the monster’s speed, silently calculating in his mind.

A moment later, Xuan Er raised his head and instructed Xuan Shiyi to immediately call the army, notifying them that the monsters might reach the town tonight.

Upon hearing Xuan Er’s words, everyone present had somber expressions.

"I’ll go prepare;"

Xuan Wu and the others immediately began preparations to fight.

Everyone went their separate ways, getting ready...

Lin Xiaoyan, Xiao Bo, and Nan Xi sat down together.

Lin Xiaoyan watched the surveillance video, observing those creatures rapidly devouring a wolf until not a drop was left.

Even the blood shed on the ground was licked clean by them.

"It’s terrifying!" Xiao Bo said as he watched the video, unable to contain himself.

"These creatures are frighteningly powerful and incredibly bloodthirsty," Nan Xi commented calmly.

"Humans aren’t their match, only long-range hot weapons might work."

"Hot weapons may not have a high success rate," Lin Xiaoyan said.

"Why?"

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo looked at her.

Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes remained fixed on the screen and pointed to one of the monsters.

"Haven’t you noticed? They have strong regenerative abilities."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bo and Nan Xi leaned closer, peering at the monsters on-screen.

"The damage the wolves inflicted is almost gone now, you see. Soon, the marks will disappear completely."

Xiao Bo and Nan Xi scrutinized the screen, realizing that just as Lin Xiaoyan said, the monsters’ wounds were indeed healing swiftly!

"Heavens...these creatures can’t be left!" Xiao Bo watched as the monsters leaped high and noted their increasing jumping height, nearly reaching ten meters.

"So terrifying!"

Xiao Bo murmured.

"If these creatures reach the city, people will be in danger."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at one camera, the one knocked to the ground by a monster.

She watched the footage and suddenly noticed that the wolves devoured by the monsters to the bone suddenly twitched.

The bones of the wolves moved suddenly.

Then, Lin Xiaoyan watched as the wolf’s skeleton slowly stood up.

"Look!"

Lin Xiaoyan shouted loudly.

Shi Er was the closest and came over, following Lin Xiaoyan’s direction.

Skeletal frames were seen moving slowly.

"Heavens!"

Xuan Er and the others came over. When they saw the skeletal frames, they all fell silent.

Xuan Wu was the first to react and tutted.

"Looks like it’ll cost us dearly again! Sigh, the blood I lost last time hasn’t replenished yet!"

Xuan Wu looked towards Lin Xiaoyan.

"Ahem, Xiao Lin, could I borrow some... Merit?"

Lin Xiaoyan: ???

This could be borrowed?

Upon hearing that Xuan Wu wished to use Merit Power to draw a talisman, Lin Xiaoyan readily agreed.

Of course, Xuan Wu only borrowed a tiny bit.

Though it was only a little, even that little held tremendous power!

Far more effective than Xuan Wu’s blood.
