In the room, all that could be seen were the piles of debris, and the knocking sounds seemed to come from outside the wall in front of them.

But the banging sound stopped after Chi Li came in.

Chi Li's nerves were slightly tense and he walked towards the room.

This was probably an old house. A defense system was installed when it was first built, or Si Jinyan was negligent when installing the security system. When Chi Li approached, he saw that a piece of glass in the corner of the double floor-to-ceiling window, which was assembled from several pieces of glass, had cracked.

As long as he stretched out his hand and pushed it gently - Chi Li suddenly stretched out his hand as if he was bewitched, and pressed his fingertips with slight force against the cracked glass. The next second, the glass had shattered, and the wind blew in from the outside.

Chi Li My heart skipped a beat. When I came back to my senses, there was no alarm sound in the room. In front of me was a loophole big enough for a person to crawl out on his hands and knees.

Chi Li's heart beat violently, and once again felt that freedom was outside this wall, but the strange feeling of violation became stronger again.

Just as Chi Li was weighing it, his heart wavered again, and he crawled tentatively out of the window.

Just when Chi Li had come out more than half of his body, another flash of lightning lit up in the sky. Chi Li suddenly came back to his senses, and his nerves, which had been wandering on the edge of danger all year round, suddenly became tense.

However, he sensed something was wrong and when he went back, it was already too late. Chi Li could only retract his legs, curl up his body as much as possible and roll to the side.

There was a strong smell of fish and rot in the air, and the surroundings were pitch black. When the object approached Chi Li, Chi Li was shocked.

When lightning fell again, Chi Li could see clearly what was in front of him.

A monster with a human body and a fish tail, a monster similar to Si Jinyan but completely different.

It is only by virtue of the monster's weird and ugly scales and a "leg" that cannot move freely that Chi Li can connect the object in front of him with the Mermaid form of Si Jinyan.

The Si Jinyan with a human body and a fish tail carries powerful power, abandoning the fear, and what cannot be denied is the eerie beauty. The beautiful and lustrous Scale, with its strong and impeccably proportioned tail...

However, the monster in front of him had his upper body unevenly covered with ugly Scale, and his face was also covered with irregular and uneven Scale, which distorted his original facial features. The fish tail on his lower body looked like a distorted and deformed fish tail formed by two human legs forcibly brought together.

Because of the inconvenience of its lower limbs, it could not even walk freely. At first, it had been lying in wait in the muddy ground waiting for Chi Li.

However, the speed of the monster was not affected by this. Its speed was extremely fast. The moment Chi Li came back to his senses, it rushed towards Chi Li with unimaginable force and extremely fast speed.

The monster opened its deformed mouthparts, revealing its sharp teeth.

Chi Li reacted very quickly and moved aside, but the monster's tongue still touched Chi Li's arm. The clothes on the arm immediately rotted, and pain came from the touched skin. The monster's inhumanly stretchable tongue was retracted.

The monster seemed to have encountered some kind of delicious food, and its twisted human mouthparts spat out a few words indistinctly. "Good... eat..."

Chi Li's expression was trembling, and his heart was beating wildly with nervousness.

The accident happened so suddenly, and the monster in front of us was beyond ordinary people's understanding.

Chi Li calmed down quickly.

Perhaps it was because the shock he felt when he first discovered Si Jinyan's inhuman identity was too great. Now, when facing this weird and terrifying monster again, Chi Li quickly digested the situation in front of him.

The monster doesn't know where it came from, but what we know is that it is waiting for Chi Li. This inhuman monster with a certain IQ and physical strength that exceeds ordinary people is luring Chi Li out. The monster has been lying in wait here for a long time.

The monster clung to Chi Li, and every attack forced Chi Li to go to the jungle far away from the villa.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The rain blurred Chi Li's vision, and the surrounding area was muddy.

In the first few times, Chi Li was able to evade attacks and throw away the attacking monster, but as time went by, his physical strength no longer supported him in continuing the stalemate with this monster in such a bad situation.

A quick victory is even more difficult for Chi Li who does not have any weapons at this time.

The sound of rain even covered up the sound of their fight.

When the monster pounced again, the only metal candlestick in Chi Li's hand that could be used for defense was also bitten by the monster.

The monster thought it had bitten Chi Li's arm, and let out a weird laugh. After chewing it twice, it realized something was wrong. The metal was spit out, and a dissatisfied roar came from the monster's mouthparts.

Chi Li's chest rose and fell violently, and there was a continuous burning pain in the places where his arms and calves had been touched by the monster's tongue.

Just when the monster pounced again, Chi Li caught a glimpse of a blurry shadow in the night passing behind the monster at a faster speed, maybe only half a breath long.

Chi Li even suspected that it was his illusion. When he was sure that the shadow was not the shadow of the mottled branches, he had already been pushed into the arms of Si Jinyan who swept in front of him.

In the darkness of the night, a man with a fish-tailed body tightly circled the person in his arms, covering Chi Li under his body, cutting off all the surrounding atmosphere.

Chi Li smelled the familiar smell of pheromones. There had never been a moment when he felt so relieved when he smelled this pheromones.

The exhaustion in Chi Li's heart suddenly surged, and he couldn't help but get close to Si Jinyan's chest.

Si Jinyan felt Chi Li's subtle movement of rubbing against his chest. Although the movement was slight, it still made Si Jinyan's heart tighten, and his anger grew instantly.

Sensing the change in pheromones, Chi Li raised his head and saw Si Jinyan--Si Jinyan's golden pupils occupying the entire eye socket, which made people palpitate. The lower part of his cheek was also covered with Scale...

Chi Li's pupils trembled, and before he could speak, Si Jinyan hugged him tighter.

Si Jinyan murmured in his mouth, and the low, strange and ancient language poured into Chi Li's ears, cutting off the sounds from the outside world and making Chi Li's consciousness gradually blur.

Si Jinyan turned his back to the monster, and the fish tail behind him strangled the monster's neck decisively. With anger, the extremely long fish tail strangled the monster's neck, and the sharp fins on the tail tip pierced the monster's chest.

The monster made a harsh and painful sound, and the silver-black fins contracted freely like a fan, cutting off the monster's heart. The sticky black heart was caught and crushed by the tightened tail tip.

Chi Li did not lose consciousness completely. He could feel Si Jinyan picking him up and even knew that Si Jinyan had dealt with the monster.

But his consciousness seemed to be wrapped in a layer of fog, unable to break away, until he was put on the bed by Si Jinyan and heard Si Jinyan whisper in his ear, "Chi Li."

After a few seconds, Chi Li slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the ceiling with a duplex pattern.

Surrounded by the pheromones of the quiet sandalwood, everything that just happened was as hazy as a dream.

It wasn't until he saw Si Jinyan's golden pupils that occupied the entire eye socket that Chi Li seemed to completely break free from the fog.

The moment Si Jinyan looked at each other, Chi Li was shocked and frightened. The Scale growing on the side of Si Jinyan's neck and arms hinted that Si Jinyan was in extremely bad condition.

Before he spoke, Si Jinyan explained first, helplessly and apologetically. "You can change back after a while."

Si Jinyan added, "Lu Jiu is here. I asked him to treat the wound and do a check-up."

Chi Li tried to sit up, feeling lingering fear. "That thing..."

Si Jinyan pressed Chi Li's shoulders. "I will tell you, treat the wound first."

The monster just now was by no means simple. Before Si Jinyan, Chi Li had never seen such a creature, and Chi Li had an intuition that this creature definitely had some connection with Si Jinyan.

Lu Jiu opened the door and came in. He seemed to have arrived in a hurry, wearing a large black coat and home clothes of the same color.

Lu Jiu took a simple medical kit, checked Chi Li's wounds and applied medicine. "The skin is corroded, but fortunately it's not serious."

After listening to Chi Li briefly explain what happened, Lu Jiu glanced at Si Jinyan next to him, and Si Jinyan nodded.

Lu Jiu then continued, "It is estimated that this Aberrant Form has gained self-awareness and has also evolved the ability to bewitch, which is very dangerous."

Chi Li frowned slightly. "Mutant Form?"

Lu Jiu did not explain. The hand handling Chi Li's wound paused, and suddenly looked up at Chi Li: "Judging from its behavior, it wants to devour you."

Hearing this, Chi Li's heart trembled suddenly. "Swallowed?"

Si Jinyan's brows also tightened.

Lu Jiu had some doubts in his eyes. He said "hmm" and analyzed to himself. "It's strange. You probably have something that is very attractive to him. Could it be the aura of Si Jinyan, but it shouldn't be..."

Lu Jiu talked more and more. Si Jinyan frowned slightly and interrupted, "Lu Jiu."

Lu Jiu stopped and looked at Si Jinyan, Si Jinyan: "Let Chi Li be checked first."

The facilities here are limited. Lu Jiu first briefly checked the wounds on Chi Li's body, and then extracted some of Chi Li's blood for analysis with portable equipment.

When Lu Jiu approached Chi Li with the blood extractor, Chi Li refused. "There is no need to check again, the wound has been treated."

Chi Li knows that if that test report is true, Lu Jiu's inspection will definitely find clues.

Chi Li's intuition cannot let Si Jinyan discover this...

However, in this matter, Si Jinyan would not give Chi Li any choice, and said in a deep voice, "Chi Li."

Lu Jiu also said sternly, "After being attacked by Aberrant Form, there is a risk of infection. The equipment is poor now. We can only extract some blood for emergency testing. After the wound is treated, you can go to the laboratory with me."

Si Jinyan grabbed the arm that Chi Li was avoiding and coaxed Chi Li: "It's just for a while, it won't hurt."
