Large mouthfuls of blood, mixed with the food he had eaten, gushed out of Nanming's fanged mouth.
The enormous body flew backward, rolling on the ground like a ball several times before finally coming to a stop.
Nanming struggled a few times, letting out low growls, but soon fell silent and lay down quietly.
The scarlet body began to shrink slowly, and the shark fin on its back retracted into its body.
At the same time, Sun Hai's heart was already in his throat. He struggled to lift his head and look at the Red-Faced Ghost walking towards them.
"What are you up to..."
Sun Hai managed to utter a few words, his icy gaze fixed intently on the Red-Faced Ghost.
The Red-Faced Ghost ignored him and slowly walked up to Ye Yiqing.
Gently lift his chin with a long stick, making Ye Yiqing raise his head and look directly at him.
Upon seeing Ye Yiqing's blindfold and the knife at his waist, the Red-Faced Ghost seemed to understand something and laughed out loud.
"Haha, the younger generation is truly promising..."
As he spoke, he stroked his long beard, turned, and walked away.
The enormous figure vanished abruptly after taking a few steps, leaving only the dust kicked up in its wake.
Nearly ten minutes later, everyone was certain that the other party had completely left.
Hela helped Xing Lan slowly stand up.
Xing Lan's legs were still a little weak, and she was supporting Hela, her lips trembling slightly.
"Who exactly is that...?"
"I don't know, but the most urgent thing right now is to see what's happening in the Nanming."
Sun Hai shook his head and looked at the Nanming covered in blood.
Still in a state of shock, Si Xiaobei snapped out of it and hurriedly stood up and ran towards Nanming.
He Divine Detective on him and examined his body from head to toe.
But the more Si Xiaobei investigated, the colder her heart became.
He suffered massive internal bleeding, multiple fractures in his body, even a slight crack in his skull, and numerous wounds of Xiaoxiao from which blood continued to flow.
Si Xiaobei hurriedly took out her medical kit and began to stop Nanming's bleeding.
"Ah, this monster is Nanming?!" Ye Ciqing looked at Nanming had turned back from a monster, with surprise and bewilderment.
Sun Hai nodded slightly. "That's right, it's his special ability."
"Ah! Then how can he turn into a monster? I've never heard of any skill that can make someone transform!"
Ye Ciqing was even more puzzled.
This time, Sun Hai shook his head slightly, "I don't know about that."
Since his first transformation, he has never explained the reason, as if he doesn't want to talk about it.
So we usually try not to mention it. Before this, only Liu Xiaogang, Feng Xuan, and I knew about it.
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, but based on the current intelligence, they could easily deduce the truth.
Nanming is a special ability user, [ Variant Human ], recently discovered by the higher-ups.
"Are the Nanming [ Variant Human ]?"
Xing Lan helped Hela ask Sun Hai a question.
"I don't know, he never said anything, but based on the current situation, he's most likely the [ Variant Human ] the higher-ups were talking about."
"That old man who defeated the Nanming..."
"It's probably another [ Variant Human ], and most likely a member of the Light God Society, since the [ Variant Human ] the Nightwalkers discovered before was a member of the Light God Society."
Ye Ciqing seemed to realize something, glanced at Nanming, and his expression became somewhat strange.
"Hey, aren't you afraid that the Nanming is also part of the Light God Society...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yiqing lightly tapped him on the head with her knife, silencing him.
Sun Hai didn't say anything, but simply looked at Ye Ciqing and asked calmly, "Do you believe in the Nanming?"
Ye Ciqing was taken aback, unsure how to respond.
"Uh, I..."
"I believe it," Ye Yiqing replied firmly.
"I also believe that the vice-captain couldn't possibly be from the Light God Society!" Xing Lan replied, trying her best to stay focused.
"Me too." Hela nodded.
Sun Hai smiled slightly, then turned to look at Ye Yiqing.
"That old man seems to know you. Do you know him?"
"What... do you know?"
Xing Lan looked at Ye Yiqing with some confusion, because the pressure just now was too great, and she only dared to keep her head down.
I didn't see what happened at all; I only heard a loud commotion and heard the Fighting God and the old man exchange a few words.
Ye Yiqing lowered his head slightly, then nodded.
"I roughly know who he is, but I don't know him personally."
"Who?"
"The person from the Five Gates Mountain, the Staff Gate, should be the former elder."
Ye Yiqing answered calmly, then continued speaking.
"The reason I know so much about this is because I am also from Five Gates Mountain, except that I belong to the Saber Gate."
Five Gates Mountain is composed of five different schools, namely sword, spear, staff, bow, and body.
During my training, I often sparred with other schools of martial arts, so I became quite familiar with their techniques. That's why I recognized the old man as a member of the Five Gates Mountain Staff Gate.
"Wow!" Xing Lan exclaimed excitedly.
Her legs were no longer weak, her body was no longer trembling, and she approached Ye Yiqing with stars in her eyes.
Why didn't you tell me before that you'd been to such a cool sect?
Do you still accept disciples? Can I go there now?
Ye Yiqing took a step back, somewhat embarrassed.
"It's hard to say, they probably won't want you..."
After saying that, Xing Lan deflated, "Okay..."
"Then why are you so sure it's your ex?" Liu Xiaogang, leaning on his long spear, limped over.
"Because I know all the elders of our mountain, but I don't know that one whose strength has reached the level of an elder, and besides, his age doesn't seem like that of a newly appointed elder."
Therefore, the most likely candidate is the former elder.
Liu Xiaogang nodded, then turned to look at Feng Xuan, who was still standing on the mountaintop with a look of utter despair.
I took a step forward, ready to get him down.
Hela then walked alone to the corpse of the Variant creature, which was missing half its head.
The brain cells were working non-stop, thinking about how to devour it Wusheng.
Just as she was racking her brains, she suddenly noticed that the purple runes on the Variant corpse seemed to be slowly dissipating.
The runes gradually faded, turning into wisps of purple smoke that gathered together to form a small purple mist in the air.
Hela blinked her big eyes, and a bone whip burst forth from her back, lashing out directly at the cloud of mist.
The bone whip passed right through the mist without any reaction, let alone dispersing it.
Hela turned her head, wanting to tell Sun Hai and the others about this.
But as soon as it opened its mouth, all the runes on the Variant creature vanished into a cloud of mist.
A large eye emerged from it, and a dark purple ripple shot out towards Hela.
