The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 341 Spring

The First Night of Crimson Tide.

Three o'clock in the morning, Xijing District.

Under the blood moon, the dense mountain forest area was also dyed bright red, as if some kind of strange fire had occurred, and every tree was burning silently.

Deep in the forest, a small white two-story bungalow can be vaguely seen, with lights on inside.

In the past, this bungalow was surrounded by a layer of blindness, making it blend in with the entire mountain forest. In addition, there were no roads up and down the mountain around the bungalow, so it was basically impossible for anyone to discover it.

But during the Scarlet Tide, the owner of the small bungalow saw no need to hide the building anymore.

During these seven days, the awakened ones are the prey who should be hiding everywhere.

The hall in the bungalow is decorated in a retro palace style, with huge crystal chandeliers, thick and luxurious dark curtains, soft carpets with beautiful patterns, exquisite and precious handmade furniture, and oil paintings by famous artists all over the walls.

A little boy wearing a black men's dress sat on a luxurious master chair. He looked only seven or eight years old, thin and small, with his feet in white socks and handmade leather shoes hanging under the chair, not touching the ground.

The boy has silver hair, parted in the middle, short bangs in front of his forehead that are slightly curved, and a pair of big dark red eyes that are somewhere between cute and deep, perfectly combining the two temperaments.

The boy also has a beauty mark on the corner of his right eye.

Although he has a cute face that everyone loves, his temperament is very bitter and hateful, and his slightly frowned eyebrows seem to hide thousands of worries.

"Eh." He sighed.

As the head of the family, he was under a lot of pressure.

"Master Chun, Bailu and Chuxue are back."

Behind the little boy, stood a tall, middle-aged man in a tuxedo. He had short, stiff silver hair, crimson eyes, a strong and angular face, and a beautiful groove on his broad chin.

The little boy known as Master Chun nodded slightly and said worriedly: "It seems that Bailu still hasn't helped Chuxue find new prey."

"Don't worry, Master Chun. This is our home court during the Scarlet Tide. From now on, we will have plenty of opportunities." The man in a tuxedo said.

"Jingzhe, you are too optimistic. This girl Chuxue is very special, more special than any of us. Her prey is not that easy to find."

The man named Jingzhe nodded slightly and stopped talking.

"Hey." Chun sighed again: The pressure is really great.

Haru is the founder of the ghost group and the first ghost in the misty world.

His origin and age are very mysterious and he has never told anyone.Although he looks like a little boy, his mind is like that of an old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life.

A long time ago, Haru has been looking for newly born companions to expand the power of the ghost race.

His own name is named after the "beginning of spring" among the 24 solar terms.

Spring represents hope, and the ghost race needs hope more than any other race.

After that, every new member added will be named in the order of 24 solar terms.Of course, the name is not rigid and can be slightly modified.

27 years ago, after the twins Bai Lu and Chu Xue were born, no new members joined the ghost group.

Originally, Chuxue was supposed to be called Autumn Equinox, but Chuxue didn't like this name. When she was three years old, she changed her name to Chuxue without authorization, taking it from the solar term "Xiaoxue".

Chun agreed, but Chuxue was the youngest child in the family. In Chun's eyes, she was his precious granddaughter, the apple of his eye.

Once upon a time, when the ghost group was at its most prosperous, there were 11 family members.

But now, there are only four left: Spring, Jingzhe, Bailu and Chuxue.

In the eyes of the awakened, ghosts are powerful, terrifying, and bloodthirsty.This is true, after all, ghosts feed on the energy and life of awakened beings.

However, ghosts are actually extremely fragile.

Just like those expensive pets, they look noble and elegant, but they actually hide various hereditary diseases.

The same goes for ghosts. Each ghost has a different curse flowing through its body.This curse can give the ghost powerful abilities and give the ghost another life form, but the curse is also a terrible chronic terminal disease that can kill the ghost at any time.

Regular eating can only ensure the survival of the ghost, but cannot prevent the disease and deterioration of the curse. When the curse wants to take away the life of the ghost, it all depends on the mood of the curse. There are no signs or rules.

Chun raised his head and looked at a photo wall.

Above are photos of family members who have left. They all have silver hair and red eyes. Most of them are young, with innocent smiles on their faces. Only a few of them died from hunting, and the rest were all killed by themselves. Taken away by the curse.

About 20 years ago, people from the Cangmu Cult approached the Ghost Group.

They claim that they can provide ghosts with a stable source of food and have a way to cure the curse in ghosts, provided the ghosts are willing to cooperate with them.

Chun is not naive enough to completely believe in the Cangmu Cult, but he believes that there is nothing to lose by cooperating with the Cangmu Cult.

As a result, the Ghost Group and the Cangmu Cult began to cooperate.

Over the years, what the ghost group has to do is very simple. Occasionally help them assassinate some awakened people, or use Chu Xue's ability to resurrect some awakened people.

The Cang Mu Cult did provide a stable source of food, but it failed to cure the ghost group's curse.

The reason given by Cang Mu Cult is: the time is not yet ripe.

"Eh."

Thinking of this, Chun couldn't help but sigh again.

Chuxue's inability to eat ordinary food stems from her own special curse.

Now, after finally finding a special food that can be eaten, Chuxue is unwilling to eat it and has become good friends with that food. How could it be so ridiculous?

Could it be said that the curse causes the brain to become stupid and change its axis?

Seeing that Chuxue was getting weaker and weaker, her sister Bai Lu was also very anxious. She had no other option but to run around outside and catch some stray people that Chuxue couldn't eat at all.

"boom--"

The door was pushed open, and Bai Lu came back holding Chu Xue in cat form.

Bai Lu's beautiful and noble face showed a hint of haggard and fatigue. She put the sleeping white cat in her arms into a pink cat nest.

Bai Lu walked to the sofa, no longer caring about her dignified manner, and lay directly on the sofa, closing her eyes.

"Bai Lu, this is not the way to go." Chun said.

"I know, but my sister is not willing to eat that Gao Yang." Bai Lu didn't open her eyes, her tone was hateful, and her plump chest rose and fell slightly.

"He can eat." Chun turned his head and glanced lovingly at Chuxue in the cat's nest: "This child is stubborn, but no matter how stubborn he is, he can't be more stubborn than his instinct to survive and eat."

"Now that the three major organizations are all together, there is no chance at all."

"Wait patiently."

"There's no time!" Bai Lu sat up from the sofa and shouted in a painful voice: "Chu Xue will die at any time!"

If her sister died, Bai Lu wouldn't want to live anymore.In this world, she has nothing but her sister.

"Hey." Chun sighed again and took out a business card from his breast pocket: "Bai Lu, contact him."

Bai Lu opened her hand slightly, and the business card in Chun's hand flew into her slender fingers. She glanced at the business card: "Who is this?"

"If you contact the person who helped Chuxue find the special food, he might be willing to help us again. If he has any conditions, as long as the bottom line is not touched, we will agree."

"Okay." Hope rekindled in Bai Lu's red eyes.

Then, she frowned slightly: "Is he an awakened person? Why should he help us?"

Chun shook his head: "He is a delusional beast. He is not a friend to us, but he is not an enemy either."
