The bonfire was still burning fiercely. Although Mr. Rabbit was worried that it would attract other Mantis Demons, the flames would attract their attention.
"We Mantis Demons? Alright, where should I start? "
Mr. Rabbit swept his tail across the ground. He sat down and stretched his body.
"Oh! Previously, I said that our creator, who gave us life, asked us to collect the energy of death for it, Chaos. So our current appearance was given to us by him, including our abilities. "
He used his small claws to draw an egg on the ground.
"It's like making a doll, probably. Using me as an example, my batch of Mantis Demons were specially made to deal with hunters. Our creator gave me a pair of hairy legs that allowed me to dodge the hunters' arrows. At the same time, we were able to imitate their language. Many Mantis Demons imitated your voices, but our creator discovered something. "
There were more and more patterns on the ground. He had drawn a pair of matchstick-like legs and a mouth on the egg.
"He discovered that simple imitations were easily exposed. The hunters would never be fooled again, so he took one step closer, which was to understand language. He used your language to mislead you and fall into our trap. The prerequisite for understanding is to have a smarter brain. I'm not boasting, but as a Mantis Demon, I should be the smartest. "
Mr. Rabbit patted his chest and said proudly.
Reina raised her eyebrows. Smart? This guy?
She couldn't tell at all.
"So what happened in the end? Did you really hunt hunters?"
"Before I answer, I can only say that the creator didn't think of one thing. We've escaped from our instincts, which means we're not controlled by them. Rather than risking our lives to hunt others, we might as well live a free life."
"It seems like that's the case."
Reina looked at Mr. Rabbit and nodded. This rabbit gave her the feeling that he was very idle. Compared to the other Mantis Demons, he was the most peculiar one. ,
But thinking about it carefully, if this was his plan to kill hunters, then his method was indeed brilliant.
Thus, Reina didn't completely let down her guard. Perhaps when she was completely relaxed and careless, he would attack her from behind without hesitation.
"After that, the creator didn't let the Mantis Demons have the same intelligence as us. He even created some Mantis Demons that specialized in cleaning up the Mantis Demons in order to take us back."
Mr. Rabbit shrugged. It seemed that he had encountered quite a few Mantis Demons. His friend might have also encountered them.
This also explained why there were so many terrifying creatures in a place where there was nothing. Moreover, there were so many different kinds of creatures. Just like what Mr. Rabbit said, they were placed here like toys.
Thinking about it this way, the Hybrid Demons were quite pitiful. However, Linnai wouldn't go easy on them. They really wanted to kill her, and she wasn't that stupid …
Dawn
The sound of footsteps on the gravel was heard.
"Chestnut, Chestnut, what?"
Hailig's voice sounded. A white furball quickly ran down a cliff. Its name was Chestnut, and it was a very rare ferocious beast.
Chestnut Chestnut suddenly let out a roar. This was a signal that he had found something.
Heilig vigilantly looked around. He picked up his spear and walked towards Chestnut Chestnut. It was a very hidden place with a protruding rock. If one didn't get close, they wouldn't be able to see that there was a space underneath.
"Bones. These are the corpses of the Mantis Demons on the way here. They were moved here."
Heilig squatted down and looked at the bones on the ground, but they were eaten by Chestnut Chestnut in the next second.
"Someone clearly came here and roasted the meat. There is also salt on the ground. Ho, do you believe that a Mantis Demon would put salt in their food?"
He placed his hand on the ground and picked up some sand. He rubbed it and sniffed it.
"Flames. Someone must have set fire here, but there are no burn marks. The flames are very clean and the rocks above us aren't charred. It's definitely her. She was here last night."
Heilig laughed and rubbed Chestnut Chestnut's fur. He smiled and said, "She's not dead yet. We were right. She killed a few Mantis Demons last night and roasted them. She even put salt in them. Do you believe it? Haha."
However, right at that moment, Chestnut Chestnut, who had swallowed the bones, smelled something. Its fur suddenly stood up and it revealed its white teeth.
"What is it?"
Heilig also became vigilant. He saw Chestnut Chestnut look in a direction and sniff.
"Let me take a look."
He gently pushed Chestnut away. There didn't seem to be anything on the ground, but Chestnut Chestnut didn't play tricks on people. He believed in this old friend, so he carefully looked for clues.
Soon, he found the reason for Chestnut Chestnut's fur. He took off his gloves and scratched the ground.
"It's fur. It's soft and light blue. It's the fur of a Mantis Demon. Do you think it was left behind by the Mantis Demons that were turned into food? "
Heilig asked. However, he knew that Chestnut Chestnut wouldn't answer this question. He was thinking.
There was only one footprint on the ground, which meant that Reina was alone.
No, there were Mantis Demons that could move without leaving a trace. Those Mantis Demons were generally very cunning.
Heilig took the fur and walked outside. He frowned as he had a bad feeling. Suddenly, a graffiti on the ground caught his attention. It looked like a child's drawing. Perhaps it was Reina's drawing.
It looked like a rabbit, but the drawing was too simple and crude. He couldn't tell.
However, the more Heilig looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
"Rabbit? Rabbit, rabbit … "
He looked at the drawing on the ground and thought. Suddenly, he thought of something from the winding tail and his eyes widened.
"Could it be! Damn it! Could it be a Shadowless Cat? "
Heilig was shocked. Shadowless Cat was a Mantis Demon that was deeply engraved in the minds of hunters. It could be ranked in the top five for the number of hunters it had killed. It was a very deadly Mantis Demon. They were very special. Compared to other Mantis Demons, they were much smarter. Not only were they good at hiding their presence, but they could also disguise themselves. In turn, they could set traps for hunters. Even experienced hunters might fall for their tricks.
However, these Mantis Demons hadn't appeared in a long time. Logically speaking, they should have gone extinct. Heilig hadn't seen them in a long time.
"But she drew it. Damn it!"
Heilig gritted his teeth. Hunters didn't take chances. Reina might have been tricked by a cunning Shadowless Cat. Against powerful enemies, Shadowless Cats would use tricks to deal with them.
If that was the case, then Reina was in a very dangerous situation.
"Chestnut! Let's go. We have to catch up. "
Heilig immediately left with Chestnut.
