In the dense forest near the shopping mall.
A group of young girls with delicate features gathered together, occasionally glancing toward the mall. They retrieved chunks of bloody monster flesh from their space wristwatches and stuffed them into their mouths.
"Gah-gah... Woo-woo..."
"It’s been so long since I’ve had such delicious at."
"Woo... Yeah, over there, we could only eat cooked food. Absolutely disgusting..."
"Exactly, the original flavor is unmatched. I just don’t understand why those humans prefer cooked at."
The girls devoured the beast at ravenously, their cheeks bulging as blood dripped from the corners of their mouths. Yet, their faces were full of satisfied smiles.
Under the night sky, this horrifying scene was enough to make an average person’s scalp tingle. The sounds of chewing flesh and bone added a chilling sensation to the spine.
A mont later, the group finally had their fill and, too lazy to wipe off the blood staining their mouths, lay half-reclined on the ground, chatting casually like ordinary people.
"Old Nine, don’t you think Second Sister has beco too timid after spending so much ti in human society? It’s just a few humans; we could kill them outright and take back our territory. Why bother with all this probing and testing?"
"Fifth Sister, you can’t bla Second Sister. She’s only doing this for our safety."
"Exactly, Fifth Sister. You’ve seen how terrifying humans can be over the years.
chas, beast cultivation, beast power—they’ll use all kinds of fancy tricks to deal with us. A little caution isn’t a bad thing."
"Pfft, what’s there to fear? Right now, we’re delicate and charming young girls. Humans love judging by appearances the most; would they ever hurt us?"
"True, if not for convenience in operating within human society, we wouldn’t need to parasitize these won. Dragging around two not-too-big, not-too-small burdens every day is exhausting."
"Yours are small compared to mine. Mine are so much bigger—now that’s really tiring, okay?"
"I’m the one who’s exhausted. Don’t believe ? Let’s compare."
"Compare then..."
"Alright, that’s enough. Stop playing around. Second Sister’s still not back. I wonder if she’s found out their strength yet."
"Third Sister, don’t worry about Second Sister. The woman she’s parasitizing is so beautiful; a simple beckoning from her hand, and those humans will obediently fall into the trap."
"Exactly, we don’t even need to step in. Second Sister alone will sweep them all up."
"That’s right. We’d barely been gone a few days, and the humans had already taken over our territory. Truly infuriating."
"Haha, Fourth Sister, don’t be mad. Soon we’ll be savoring the taste of those humans."
As Old Eight spoke, the communicator on her wrist began to beep sharply, instantly catching everyone’s attention.
[Second Sister: It’s done here. You can co in now.]
Looking at the ssage, they exchanged smiles that clearly read "as expected."
"Haha, I told you Second Sister could handle these humans alone."
"Tch, this proves there aren’t any Vajra Realm humans inside. Second Sister’s just being overly cautious.
"Yeah, parasitizing humans for too long has made her pick up their bad habits—hesitant and fearful. That’s no good."
"Alright, enough talking. Second Sister’s waiting for us!"
Chatting as they walked, the group got up and headed toward the mall.
They failed to notice a streak of orange-red glimring quietly in the darkness after they left.
...
In the room, everyone stared at the virtual screen displaying the footage sent by Rein Jia’er, their faces showing deep shock.
"Who would’ve thought these parasitic beasts had infiltrated the human world so silently?" Long Xia exclaid.
"Indeed, their appearances make them indistinguishable. Absolutely terrifying."
Hong Cong’s face started to turn pale once again.
Ye Ning snuck a glance at Qin Shou, increasingly impressed by his remarkable skills.
Lin Xiaoi looked toward Qin Shou, whose expression remained calm, and asked, "What should we do now?"
Qin Shou stroked his chin and smiled. "They’ll be here shortly. Guard the exits and make sure none of them escape. Leave the rest to ."
"Are we up to the task?" Hong Cong asked nervously.
Qin Shou waved dismissively. "Don’t worry. Their strength is roughly at Danger Level 8. As long as they don’t co into contact with fire, they pose no significant threat."
On hearing this, the group nodded and split up to handle their assignnts, disappearing quickly from the room.
Qin Shou gazed at the decapitated corpse of the Spine Gu beneath his feet, the very "Second Sister" who had been ntioned earlier. His eyes glimred with a cold light.
Just how many Spine Gus are still hidden in the human world...
...
"Haha, hurry up, sisters, or the midnight feast won’t be fresh anymore."
"I’m coming, I’m coming. Ate too much earlier—I’m running slow."
"Haha, Lao Qi couldn’t wait, huh?"
By now, the girls had already cleaned the bloodstains off their faces, wearing innocent and playful smiles that exuded no trace of threat.
Soon after, they entered the mall’s main hall, calling out, "Second Sister, we’re here! Don’t you dare sneak any bites!"
"Second Sister?"
Hearing no reply, the group froze montarily.
Before they could figure out what was going on, an Extre Cold Energy Cannon suddenly shot down from the mall’s ceiling, exploding near their feet.
"Boom!!"
The extre cold energy spread rapidly as frost and snow cascaded forth, instantly enveloping them and freezing them into lifelike ice sculptures.
Within the frozen forms, the girls’ shocked expressions remained vividly evident.
Qin Shou and the others stepped into the hall, staring at the eerily lifelike ice sculptures with a hint of disbelief.
"That’s it?"
"That was way too easy, wasn’t it?"
Long Xia exchanged dismayed glances with Hong Cong and Ye Ning.
Lin Xiaoi retrieved an alloy long sword from her space wristwatch and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and finish them off completely."
"Oh, right!"
The trio nodded quickly, drawing their weapons to shatter the sculptures.
"Crack..."
Suddenly, a faint sound echoed in their ears, almost imperceptibly.
At that mont, Qin Shou’s expression shifted as if he realized sothing. His face changed dramatically.
"Not good! Quickly, you all..."
Before he could finish, the ice sculptures cracked open abruptly. Inside, the frozen girls rapidly transford in plain sight.
In just one second, they morphed from flower-like young girls into towering frost monsters three zhang tall.
"Roar!!"
The monsters howled furiously at the sky, their expressions wild and feral. They were now utterly mindless, with their strength surging as a result.
Although they hadn’t directly reached two star levels and evolved into horror-level monsters, their power was notably greater than typical Dangerous Nine Stars monsters.
On this side, Long Xia and the others hurriedly gathered around Qin Shou, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"No way... Do they transform based on whatever they encounter? Should we try Federation Coins next ti?" Long Xia suggested seriously.
Qin Shou nodded, intrigued. "Worth a shot."
Lin Xiaoi’s expression turned grave. "Stop joking. Qin Shou, what should we do now?"
Qin Shou straightened up and said earnestly, "Based on my deduction, they can only change their forms once—encounter fire, they turn to flas; encounter ice, they turn to frost monsters.
So even if we use fla power to counter these frost monsters, there’s no need to worry about them transforming into fla monsters!"
