Mofan kept the Swift Star Wolf back into the Dimensional Space.
Showing off with a wolf with dark blue fur that almost reached the ground was basically telling the Black Vatican that they were here to enforce justice, just like the Golden Battle Hunters!
After getting the Swift Star Wolf to point him in the direction, Mofan met up with Mu Ningxue and the rest.
"How did you know that he went in this direction?" Rong Sheng asked, puzzled.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Do you want to find Wang Xuxu?" Mofan said impatiently.
Rong Sheng didn't dare to ask any more questions and followed Mofan to the building behind the main building.
Compared to the grandeur of the main building, the orange building behind was much dimmer. Most likely, it wasn't used to receive tourists and there weren't any relevant service personnel here.
After passing through a few dimly lit corridors and climbing up a few stairs, the Swift Star Wolf told Mofan that the smell of blood was probably coming from here.
The entire corridor was shaped like a square ring. It would take some time to walk straight to the corner. The carpet was dark red, and there were many locked rooms on both sides. Some had single doors, some had double doors, and some had thick double-ring sliding doors …
The Swift Star Wolf told Mofan that the smell of blood was coming from the thick double doors. Mofan examined carefully and found a faint red mark on the white wall. It was about the size of a mouth print and it was easy to miss if one didn't look carefully.
Mofan nudged Mu Ningxue and whispered to her, "Wang Xuxu's blood must have been accidentally smeared on the wall … It should be a superficial wound or bruise. There isn't much blood on the wall and from the height, it should be near the shoulder …"
Mofan remembered that Wang Xuxu was about the same height as Mu Ningxue. If he compared it with Mu Ningxue, he could roughly guess the location of her injury.
The mark was long and narrow and the smell was the same as the one on the whip. It meant that Wang Xuxu had been here before.
"Xuxu!!"
"Xuxu, are you here??? I'm Rong … "Rong Sheng shouted.
Mofan hurriedly covered the guy's mouth and scolded, "Don't yell blindly. She might have met someone. You'll only make it harder for us to rescue her."
Rong Sheng widened his eyes and nodded after a while.
Mofan tried to push the door and found that it wasn't locked. The heavy door was pushed open by him, and the sound it made echoed in the corridor.
There were no lights inside, and Mofan could barely make out the ancient decorations inside. There was a fireplace, a deer head ornament, a large table, and a curtain that tightly covered the window …
"No one, but I seem to smell something." Mofan frowned.
The scent of Dark Beast Monsters and Cursed Beasts was a scent that left a deep impression in people's minds. Mofan had dealt with the Black Vatican so many times that he could still recognize it even if there was only a little of it left in the air.
"It seems like this place hasn't been ventilated for a long time. It stinks," Guo Wenyi said.
"Yeah, why do I feel that the smell is getting stronger?" Rong Sheng had already covered his nose.
Mu Ningxue glanced at the door and said, "The smell is coming from outside."
Mofan also felt that the originally faint stench was gradually getting stronger. As the door opened, the air in the corridor flowed in, accompanied by an even more nauseating stench.
"There's something outside!" Mofan immediately realized something. He hurriedly walked to the door and carefully closed the double-ringed heavy door.
When the door was closed, there was still some noise. At this moment, the sound of something running quickly could be heard in the corridor. The sound was getting closer and closer!
"What is it??" Guo Wenyi and Rong Sheng heard it too, and their faces froze.
"Shh, don't make a sound. We might have come to the right place," Mofan whispered.
Mofan asked the three to stay close to him. He was using the darkness to conceal their presence.
Not long after, a clearer sound came from the corridor. Even through the thick door, they could feel something moving outside …
Guo Wenyi was standing beside the door. She could barely see the situation in the dark corridor through the narrow gap. A skinny, deformed thing slowly crawled past her narrow vision. It was on all fours, with dark skin and a ferocious face like a ghost monkey!
Guo Wenyi's scalp went numb. Wasn't it the strange creature that she had seen when she was walking at night?!
It was exactly the same, it was exactly the same!
Guo Wenyi had just gotten rid of her fear after being comforted by Mofan. Who would have thought she would see the real thing here today. Even with the door between them, Guo Wenyi could still feel her hair standing on end. It felt like she had turned into the horse that had its stomach dug out, and would be eaten alive at any second.
"Dark Beast Monster," Mofan said to Mu Ningxue.
A minute later, the sound outside the door gradually disappeared.
Rong Sheng and Guo Wenyi backed off to the table in disbelief, especially Guo Wenyi. She was in a state of extreme fear.
"What … what was that?" asked Rong Sheng.
"Just some small fries, don't worry too much," Mofan did not explain further.
Dark Beast Monsters were no longer a threat to a Magician at Mofan's level. Even so, Mofan did not want to act recklessly. The fact that Dark Beast Monsters were patrolling nearby meant that this place was indeed the Black Vatican's territory. Killing a Dark Beast Monster might alert the rest of the Black Vatican's members. When that happened, it would no longer be a matter of a few Servant-class Dark Beasts patrolling the area, but a black tide of Dark Beast Monsters and Cursed Beasts!
If that was the case, Mofan would not be afraid. Mofan had never been afraid of fighting. What Mofan was worried about was the poison. If the Black Vatican was able to designate someone to poison him, he would most likely fall to the ground and vomit black blood if he was exposed.
He had come to the right place. Zhao Pinlin was indeed a member of the Black Vatican. Mofan could not help but raise his thumb at Mu Ningxue.
A woman's intuition was strong enough to tear apart the disguise of the Black Vatican, let alone a man who was lucky enough to cheat …
"Stay here for now, don't make too much noise, and don't leave before I come back," reminded Mofan.
Although Mu Ningxue's secondary Element was Wind, she was no match for Mofan's Shadow Element when it came to stealth and hiding. The situation was only suitable for Mofan to act alone.
"Be careful," reminded Mu Ningxue.
"Remember, if anything happens, try to hide your identity. The poison is the real threat to us," reminded Mofan to Mu Ningxue.
