After returning to the camp, Jiang Liujing and Liu An separated and returned to their respective groups.

Chi had already set up a two-person tent. Although they were in the wild, he had no intention of lowering Jiang Liujing's quality of life.

It looks like an ordinary tent, but once you open it, you will be stunned by the top-grade daily necessities.

Especially the sleeping supplies, all of which are treasures that cannot be bought anywhere else. They were all collected from auctions in various places over the years.

After Jiang Liujing came back and washed up simply, he lay down comfortably in the bedding prepared by Chi, as if he was lying on a thick and soft cloud, and he could not feel the unevenness of the ground below at all.

Chi lay down beside him. The two of them didn't exchange any words about what Jiang Liujing and Liu An said after they left. They just closed their eyes and fell asleep.

It was late at night and everything was silent except for the occasional sound of wind and insects.

Jiang Liujing turned over in his sleep and accidentally bumped into Chi next to him. Chi did not wake up, but subconsciously hugged Jiang Liujing into his arms, bringing him closer to himself.

The moonlight shone through the tent onto the two of them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.

Suddenly, a shadow fell on the silver gauze.

A corner of the bottom of the tent was lifted up, and a puff of white smoke poured in.

The dosage was powerful enough to knock out a sixth-rank mythical beast, and it was even more potent against humans. Soon, the two breathing sounds in the tent became even more gentle.

Just as the visitor expected, these geniuses were extremely sensitive to fluctuations in magical power, but would not be on guard against traditional physical means.

After all, these tricks are considered "despicable" in the eyes of geniuses.

But it is often these despicable tricks that can produce unexpected results at critical moments.

The dark shadow outside the tent waited for a while, and only slipped in after making sure there was no other movement inside.

He was dressed in black, his face hidden in the darkness and unclear, like a ghost lurking in the night.

He stared at the two people sleeping in each other's arms for a while, then suddenly raised his right hand, revealing a shiny silver knife, and stabbed towards Jiang Liujing quickly.

Jiang Liujing, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes. There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes.

A magic shield instantly formed in front of him, blocking the incoming blade.

At the same time, Chi on the side also turned over and jumped up, a sharp cold light flashed in his red eyes, and he attacked like lightning.

His speed was so fast that it could not be seen with the naked eye. The black shadow had no time to dodge. With four "crackling" sounds, all four limbs were broken. In the blink of an eye, he lost the ability to resist and fell to his knees on the ground in a mess.

The silver knife fell from his hand with a clang, and the side of the blade reflected the broken moonlight.

Jiang Liujing turned on the light, and the bright light filled the entire tent, illuminating the masked face of the person.

"Let me see who you are."

The black-haired boy slowly walked up to him, speaking softly, without any trace of surprise or anger at being attacked.

He stretched out five slender, porcelain-white fingers, his aura as elegant as if he was about to play a beautiful string music, but his actions were completely the other cold extreme—

He mercilessly grabbed the man's hair with one hand and forced him to raise his head. With the other hand, he grabbed the edge of the mask and tore it off!

"Ji La——"

The moment his face was exposed to the light, Jiang Liujing exclaimed "Huh" in surprise.

He threw away the mask and took a step back, his expression as if he had seen something extremely new.

"Is this a human? Or a mythical beast?"

The face of the person in front of him was extremely strange. His skin was a strange grayish-white color, covered with crisscrossing red lines, and emitted a faint light.

As for the facial features.

The strangest thing about this face is that it has no facial features at all.

The ups and downs of the bones and the natural grooves of the skin do not exist on this face.

It stretches smoothly from top to bottom, like a peeled egg.

Jiang Liujing had never seen such a strange thing before. Humans could not look like this, but to say that it was a phantom beast in human form would be too weak.

The moment they clashed, Jiang Liujing could feel that this thing's magic power level was only level five. Normally, he would have no way of fighting it, so it was no wonder that he had to resort to a sneak attack in the middle of the night.

Chi felt that the appearance of this thing was indeed a bit unsightly, and frowned, wanting Jiang Liujing not to touch it.

The thing that had been silent even after losing its limbs suddenly trembled on the spot, and its skin and flesh began to bubble and rot rapidly as if corroded by poison, and within a few breaths it turned into a pool of white mud.

"It was destroyed. It's not a phantom beast." Chi stared at the dirty thing on the ground and was not in a very happy mood.

If he died, he died in their tent. How would they sleep afterwards?

Jiang Liujing fell into deep thought. He thought he could see Taichi's face under the mask, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.

"Chi, can you sense where Taichi is now?" he suddenly said.

Chi was already accustomed to being used as a tracking tool for a member of the mythical beast royal family. Upon hearing this, he immediately closed his eyes and began to sense. After a few seconds, he replied to Jiang Liujing, "He's in his own tent, sleeping soundly."

It turned out that it wasn't him.

Jiang Liujing felt strange, but he always felt that it was related to Taiqi. After all, the abnormalities only occurred after he came.

"Change tents or sleep outside?" Chi asked him in a low voice.

Because they were wary of Tetch, they didn't sleep at all tonight.

The so-called drug was completely ineffective.

Jiang Liujing had the Guiyuan Pearl given to him by Sang Mo, which automatically cleared most of the drugs of this level.

As for Chi, he is no longer a sixth-level phantom beast, so it makes no difference to him whether the drug is used or not.

But sleep was definitely affected.

They have to go out tomorrow, so they have to rest.

"Let's go out and sleep." Jiang Liujing looked at the puddle on the ground with some disdain. He could change tents, but it would be troublesome, and this place would remind him of that strange face.

The two packed some necessary items and walked out of the tent.

The air outside was much fresher than in the tent. The breeze brought a hint of coolness, making Jiang Liujing a little more awake.

They found a meadow a little further away from the camp but with a wide view.

Jiang Liujing waved his hand casually, and magic power surged. The grass on the ground quickly intertwined together, forming a simple and comfortable semi-enclosed space.

Chi took out the bed from the space props and spread it on top.

Jiang Liujing lay down, but the image of the faceless monster still appeared in front of his eyes.

Chi sensed his restlessness and thought for a moment before saying, "Do you want me to sing you a lullaby?"

The black-haired boy was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at him, a little surprised: "You can sing this?"

Lullaby and red seem to be things from two completely different worlds.

Chi coughed uncomfortably and said, "The Po Clan is prone to mental turmoil. To soothe anxious members, the clan has passed down songs like this. But I can't remember it all, only part of it."
