Why am I so busy when the agreed-upon field staff are supposed to be idle?
Re-seating himself on the haunted car, Zhou Yan's face was gloomy.
"Wasn't it you who insisted on participating in this case? Now that we've found a clue about your nephew, do you not want to go there as soon as possible?"
Pang Long in the passenger seat asked a counterquestion, leaving Zhou Yan at a loss for words.
From Yan Shu, they found out the location where the child was hidden. Pang Long immediately pulled Zhou Yan up onto the car and set off to rescue the child.
As for Lu Jianian, due to his injury, he was left at the Special Affairs Bureau to continue questioning Yan Shu. They were trying to follow the clues and break down the organ trafficking organization in one go.
"Is it enough for just the two of us?"
Zhou Yan still felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
Especially witnessing the process of Lu Jianian's injury firsthand.
She didn't want to start her first day of work with a workplace injury.
"Don't worry, I've seen your awakening ability before. I call it the Green Giant!"
Pang Long flexed his biceps on his arm.
Speaking of which, this really took Zhou Yan by surprise.
Pang Long's body wasn't of the bulky type, but rather looked like a young man with energy, thin as a bamboo pole.
But his awakening ability could make him turn into a weightlifter in an instant.
The contrast between the two is just too great.
"What do you understand, this is called 'decaying on the outside, gold and jade within'."
"Speaking of it, no matter how I eat, I can't gain weight. Is that my fault?"
"You think I want to be this thin?"
Pang Long muttered to himself without noticing Zhou Yan's gaze, which was as if it had a body.
Saying that you can't gain weight no matter how much you eat in front of a girl is pure self-destructive behavior!
The haunted car soon left the area of Zhongyuan City and drove towards a certain mountain.
The vast mountain at night appears dark and eerie. Only with the faint moonlight can you see the tops of a few trees vaguely.
"Speaking of it, you said that Yan Shu is a mole demon, so where did his wings come from? Moles don't have wings, do they?"
In the pitch-black night, Zhou Yan took the initiative to start a topic.
"It's just regression, the regression phenomenon of monsters is divided into two types, one is bloodline regression, obtaining the power of ancient monster races, and the other is appearance regression, looking more like their ancestors."
"Yan Shu's guy activated the power within him after being cut off his tail by Old Lu last time, and grew bat wings."
"Monsters from lower-level races are chaotic, they breed and multiply like crazy. Who knows what species his ancestors were."
The haunted car stopped again, as if in a conversation.
It stopped in front of two gigantic pine trees.
Zhou Yan and Pang Long observed the two old pine trees in front of them through the car's headlights.
Just like the appearance of ordinary pine trees, it grew with the same pine needles as ordinary pine trees and bore the same pine cones as ordinary pine trees.
"Is this just an ordinary pine tree?"
After observing for half a day, Zhou Yan couldn't see anything special about the tree.
No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary pine tree that has lived for a long time.
"You know, these days, living a long time is its biggest problem!"
Pang Long chuckled and stepped out of the car to kick out at the pine tree on the right with his foot.
His leg expanded more than twice during the kick, hitting the trunk of the pine tree right on target.
Crash! Crash!
Countless pine needles swayed, and several pine cones fell to the ground under the force of this kick.
As Zhou Yan didn't know what Pang Long was doing at that moment.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The fallen pine cones seemed to explode like grenades.
Fortunately, Pang Long reacted quickly and performed several backflips in a row, narrowly escaping.
"See? These days, how can a logger let a tree grow as big as this? Even a common pine tree like this, when it grows to this size, is worth quite a lot of money."
"Unless, this tree isn't just a common one!"
Determining the target to be a race of demons, Pang Long moved his neck, and a series of popping sounds echoed from within him. Then, his figure suddenly grew larger, transforming into a giant form.
"I was meant to be a meat shield for Old Lu, but since you have demon abilities, and with the haunted car accompanying you, I can't protect you anymore!"
Pang Long turned around and grinned at Zhou Yan, his enlarged head looking fierce.
Said and done, Pang Long no longer paid attention to Zhou Yan. With a weird shout from his mouth, his figure shot towards the two demon pines like a cannonball.
Crash! Crash!
The needles of the two demon pines rustled simultaneously.
Countless pine cones were picked up by the wind and shot towards Pang Long.
Before, Pang Long in human form might have dodged these pine cones' attacks, but now as a giant, he paid no mind to them and continued charging forward regardless.
Very much like when Gong Gong raged and crashed into the unround mountain.
Zhou Yan in the haunted car behind was not idle either.
As the battle between Pang Long and the demon pine trees began.
From the nearby woods, several dozen different figures gradually emerged.
Some had a mouse head and a thick tail like a rope tied to their backs.
Some were human in appearance, but their eyes were like those of snakes, with vertical and slanting pupils.
There were a few shapes that were hard to describe, looking half-human and half-animal, with four limbs on the ground and an extremely ugly appearance.
"Half-rat demons and half-serpent demons, all half-breeds of demons and humans. They are collectively known as half-demons."
"Those several are the failed mixtures of demon and human races, without reason, only instincts!"
Pang Long took a moment to explain Zhou Yan's opponents to her.
This was Zhou Yan's first face-to-face battle with an alien race, without hesitation, Zhou Yan decisively used her shape-shifting skill.
Red hair cascaded down, and blood-red fuzz blossomed from Zhou Yan's fair skin.
Her pair of bright eyes were now filled with red.
Zhou·Blood Crystal Lion·Yan!
"Roar!"
Zhou Yan's roar was just an unconscious shout.
The few irrational hybrid creatures surrounding Zhou Yan immediately showed panic and retreated several steps in fear.
And those half-demons with intelligence, after seeing Zhou Yan's transformation, narrowed their pupils and revealed a hint of fear in their eyes.
Suppression of the demon bloodline.
Fear of the hunter is innate in the prey.
The law of natural selection in the nature.
Even the demon pine that was fighting against Pang Long paused for a moment after sensing Zhou Yan's presence.
"Hmm, indeed, bloodline is the path to success. Go ahead without hesitation. These guys have lost their courage."
Noticing the change in the demon pine, Pang Long shook his head with a sigh of admiration.
Zhou Yan's absurd abilities are truly something to be envious and resentful about.
When I was a ghost commander, I could command ghosts.
When I was a demon, I came in with a royal flush.
Oh, people can make others die from envy and jealousy!
Zhou Yan's strong performance from the start made her the clear victor.
The haunted car baby was now standing up straight.
The haunted car's headlights were flashing randomly, and the engine was making a series of loud rumbling noises.
A posture indicating that it was ready to act as a bulldozer, recklessly ramming demons.
Just as Zhou Yan was about to get into a big fight,
"Capture her, and a heavy reward will be given!"
