After receiving Xiao Huan, Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.
This was the first time it had ever felt so safe with its boss.
Hela casually put it in her pocket, and then followed Fulan and Ailin as they carried the unconscious passerby to the hospital.
However, sending them one by one is really too slow. If Hela weren't in a position to conceal her abilities, Hela could have used countless tentacles to send all of them in at once.
After getting everyone to the hospital and putting some of the seriously injured into oxygen tanks, Fulan took the two women to another street to help others.
"I'll go save them over there," Hela said to the two of them, pointing in a direction without any expression.
"Oh, okay, thank you for your help."
Hela kept a certain distance from the two until they disappeared from sight, at which point Hela stopped.
Do you have a way to summon the Variant?
Hela suddenly spoke, Xiao Huan cautiously flew out of her pocket.
"Well, I can lure them over, but I'll have to run there."
Hela lowered her head and thought for a moment, then broke off one of her thumbs, which transformed into a black praying mantis.
"Go ahead, but let my clone follow you. I'll let you know if there's any danger."
With that, he threw the mantis out, and the mantis flew to Xiao Huan's side.
But Xiao Huan was still a little worried.
"Boss, I'm in danger. Are you sure you can get there in time?"
"Yes." Hela nodded without hesitation.
His earnest gaze reassured Xiao Huan a little.
"Okay, boss, I'll go lure the Variant over right away! I mean, lure it to the hospital, right?"
Hela nodded, and Xiao Huan left with the black mantis.
Hela watched its retreating figure, then rolled up her sleeves and began to carry people.
"Oh dear, come to think of it, there isn't a single Variant around here..."
Xiao Huan flew listlessly over the city, her eyes scanning every place she passed.
"Hey boss, why are you making things so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to just steal a few people's food, jump down, and continue hiding?"
Why be so greedy, eating so many people? Wouldn't it have been better to just live a good life?
Live well and don't be too reckless—this was Xiao Huan's lifelong philosophy.
And it truly did just that; in the thirty years since its birth, it has basically never hunted humans unless it was starving.
Even when hunting, they use the safest parasitic method, slowly absorbing nutrients.
It wouldn't even dare to think about killing someone directly and then eating their brains.
Only after it reached a slightly higher level of cultivation did it dare to directly kill ordinary people and eat their brains.
This is why Xiao Huan has been able to live so long peacefully, unlike the other Variant around her.
They pounce on anyone they see like madmen, and the end result is either they kill the other person or they are killed by the other person.
Xiao Huan would never do such a thing.
Although it doesn't know why it has a natural hatred for humans, all it wants is to live well. In its eyes, living is more important than anything else.
This is quite similar to Hela.
As she was thinking, Xiao Huan suddenly noticed a strange-looking Variant on the ground, devouring a corpse.
This Variant species is somewhat tiger-like in size, except it lacks stripes.
It has two sharp claws on its back, plus four legs for walking, making a total of six limbs, and only one eye.
The entire Variant looked extremely bizarre.
Overjoyed, Xiao Huan quickly flew to the Variant creature.
Hey buddy!
When Xiao Huan greeted it, the Variant was startled at first, and then raised its head to carefully examine the insect in front of it with its only big eye.
After realizing that the other party was not in danger, it continued to gnaw on the meat.
Xiao Huan sighed slightly. Well, although this one wasn't very smart, at least it wasn't too wary and ran away as soon as it saw her.
"Dude, searching one by one is too much trouble. I know a place with a bunch of people there. How about I take you there?"
The Xiao Huan flew to the ear of the Variant and kept tempting it, just like a telecom fraudster.
However, this Variant was clearly tempted. It swallowed the meat in its mouth and looked at Xiao Huan with eyes that seemed to ask if it was really true.
"I guarantee it's real, buddy. We're family, we don't lie to each other!"
I only sought you out because of your extraordinary physique and formidable strength!
Upon hearing this, the six-legged Variant no longer hesitated, waved its two sharp claws on its back, and decided to go with Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan felt a surge of secret joy. Sure enough, having a brain is a good thing.
"Cough, cough..." A coughing sound came, and Xiao Huan and the six-legged Variant both turned their gazes in that direction.
A burly young man, clearly someone who often took risks, scratched his head and slowly got up from the ground.
Looking around, his eyes were somewhat blank.
"Roar--!"
The six-legged Variant roared like a tiger and charged directly at the young man.
Xiao Huan helplessly. It seemed she would have to wait until this silly guy finished eating one more person before she could continue searching for the next Variant.
Upon seeing a strange-looking creature rushing towards him, the young man, who had been feeling a bit dizzy, instantly snapped back to reality.
He screamed and scrambled to his feet, trying to run away.
But the six-legged monster had already arrived behind him, and its sharp claws swung out from behind him.
Blood splattered, and several shocking scars were left on the young man's back.
"Ah!"
The excruciating pain caused him to stumble and fall to the ground.
He slumped to the ground, watching in horror as the six-horned monster closed in on him.
The claws on his back fell again, and the young man closed his eyes in despair.
Clang--!
But the expected pain did not come; instead, a metallic clanging sound rang out.
The young man opened his eyes in confusion and saw a man wearing a black robe and a mask.
He gripped the straight knife in his right hand and blocked the six-legged monster's claws.
The masked man turned his head away and said to the young man in a cold tone,
"Leave now if you don't want to die."
Upon hearing this, the young man quickly scrambled to his feet and staggered to the side.
Seeing this, Xiao Huan quickly found a safe place to hide and watch the battle.
Unlike Hela, Xiao Huan doesn't have the ability to easily see other people's cultivation levels.
However, based on my own experience, I can be fairly certain that the six-legged monster's strength has reached the ' High Rank '.
I wonder how strong this person in front of me, who is probably Night Star, is.
Seeing their prey escape, the six monsters were clearly angry, and with a sudden burst of strength from their claws, they shoved the masked man away.
It waved its arms, its claws reaching for its opponent from behind.
The masked man's eyes narrowed slightly. The six-legged monster's movements began to slow down in his eyes, as if they were being played at a low speed.
