The gray sky and the pitter-patter of raindrops made the world seem to be covered in a layer of gray, blurring the vision of ordinary people.
Ta, ta, ta...
Heavy footsteps sounded in the rain. A group of more than a dozen people stepped on the muddy ground that was full of puddles and slowly came over.
However, before they arrived, they heard the sounds of grief.
"Granddaughter! Why did you leave so quickly?"
"How are we going to survive if the
Hearing this extremely noisy but mournful voice, the young soldier in the lead, Jack, and the regiment commander looked at each other. Their expressions changed slightly.
"Something has happened."
As he said this, Jack suddenly nodded. Then, his right leg suddenly bent. Immediately after, a weak light wrapped around his legs.
Boom!
As the earth shook, splashing water three to four meters high, Jack rushed like an arrow towards a small village not far away.
Gulp.
Looking at this inhuman operation, many soldiers who saw it for the first time swallowed their saliva.
"Commander, this..."
"Shut your mouth. Some things are not something that can be asked at this juncture."
The regiment commander, who was already in a heavy mood, angrily rebuked. After that, he took a deep look at the figure that had already disappeared into the distance.
Previously, if he was here, that brother would not have...
With a bitter smile, the regiment commander helplessly shook his head. Then, he looked at the many new recruits behind him who had just entered the mountain and reminded them, "You guys, remember this. This time, you are here to temper yourselves. If you really encounter danger, I will tell you to scram. You guys should hurry up and run..."
In this rare reminder, the leader's mood became heavier and heavier.
If he remembered correctly, there was a high possibility that a mutated beast with a peak spiritual power of 10,000 would appear in the place they were inspecting this time, right?
If there wasn't one, it would be good.
But if it really existed... Then they would really be in big trouble.
One had to know that the last time they encountered a mutated beast, its peak spiritual power was only 6,000, and it was as terrifying as a monster, slaughtering half of the team.
Sigh...
With a sigh, the bearded leader clenched his fist until it was covered in blood.
However, at this moment, a person who was unknown to the team. In the depths of the mountain, suddenly, clouds and mist surged. It was as if a huge monster was slowly waking up.
Boom!
Accompanied by a terrifying boom, a storm that could be seen with the naked eye had already risen. Countless dense fog entangled within.
From afar, it really looked like a monster stirring up the clouds.
"How could this be?"
In a rare moment of disbelief, Lin Meng's heart sank bit by bit.
Humans...
And not just any ordinary humans.
The dense fog could enhance his senses.
However, it was at the foot of the mountain after all. In order not to attract the attention of the villagers, Lin Meng had deliberately turned the dense fog into a thin fog.
Even so, he was still able to sense the spiritual energy fluctuation that had just risen.
With the help of the fog, Lin Meng was even more surprised to discover that it was actually a person.
Yes, it was a person.
The fog was his other pair of eyes. Although he could not see it clearly, Lin Meng was still able to see the outline of a human figure.
It was about 1.78 meters tall.
He was a little skinny,
Although the spiritual energy fluctuation that had just erupted was only at level five or six of the entry rank.
However, the meaning of his appearance here caused Lin Meng's expression to change drastically.
"Impossible."
"Absolutely impossible."
In his cold explanation, Lin Meng also firmly believed that it was impossible for humans to discover his existence.
After all, of the two women who had witnessed his existence with their own eyes, one was already dead. The dead soul had coiled around his tree roots and attached itself to him.
As for the other woman, she was under his control.
Not to mention, she had yet to awaken.
So what if she had awakened? Lin Meng had already ordered Betty to take advantage of that woman's coma to erase her memories.
As an existence that had awakened her spiritual power, such a thing wasn't difficult for Betty.
Moreover, for the sake of convenience, she was also afraid of her memories being restored.
Lin Meng's death order had completely erased that woman's memory. Even if she became an idiot, it did not matter.
In other words, it was to completely destroy that woman's spirit.
And this was also one of the reasons why that woman had yet to awaken.
It was not that she did not want to wake up but that it was difficult for her to wake up.
Unless Betty took over her body from a distance, otherwise—even if that woman woke up—she would only be brainless.
"Betty, have you done what I asked you to do?"
The cold voice was like a bone-piercing cold wind, causing Betty, who was sitting on the treetop and playing with a few peregrines, to shiver involuntarily.
She had never heard such a cold voice before?
She really had never heard such a cold voice before.
Her master, who had always been kind and pleasant, actually showed such a cold attitude.
Betty was stunned for a moment before she could react. However, her eyes could not help but flash with a trace of panic. Even her mouth was pouting as if she was about to cry.
Seeing Betty like this, Lin Meng also sighed slightly. He realized that his tone was too heavy.
Moreover, this was not the time to be angry.
"Hu..."
Letting out a deep breath, Lin Meng gathered his emotions and said gently, "I'm asking you, two days ago, I arranged for you to erase that girl's memory. Did you do it?"
"Yes, I did it."
Nodding her head excitedly, Betty used her fingers to gesture frantically again. "Master, I followed your instructions and very seriously crushed her spirit bit by bit. In the end, that, that, even drilled into my body..."
"Drilled into your body?"
Slightly stunned, Lin Meng also revealed a stunned expression.
"Yes, drilling into my body."
Betty appeared to be a little girl who had someone discover her little secret.
However, a moment later, she emphasized, "I didn't want to. I really didn't want to. However, when I crushed that illusory shadow, the fragment of that illusory shadow turned into streams of light and uncontrollably drilled into my body."
As she spoke, Betty raised her arm and pointed. "Look, Master. My body seems to have solidified."
He took a deep look at Betty's arm.
Indeed, compared to two days ago, Betty's body had solidified again.
When he looked over, he thought it was a real person.
Did she absorb Julie's soul?
In this rare guess, Lin Meng's expression was a little strange.
As twins, it was understandable that Betty and Julie had a close connection.
In other words, their souls could be said to come from the same source.
In this way, their souls could theoretically fuse with each other, so the possibility of rejection was very low.
As for the matter of the elder sister devouring the younger sister's soul, there was no need to delve into it.
After all, the real Betty was already dead and the Betty in front of him was only a mutated soul.
