The driver did not ask Chen Qiyue how much he wanted, because it would be too late if he continued.

In any case, he would tear off this little brat’s bones one by one later.

Behind the sunglasses, there was a fierce glint.

When Chen Qiyue saw the incoming text message on his phone, he stepped to the side and walked to the side of the Giant Ugly Fish.

Not far behind him was the bus.

The driver quickly pressed on the green “Yes” button and ignored Chen Qiyue. Instead, he looked nervously at the entrance of the passage again.

The original 3 Hz on the screen began to slowly change. 4, 5…

The blue Fantastic Beast energy was extracted again, and the Giant Ugly Fish’s body began to tremble slightly.

After all, she was still a young child. She still felt a little tired after having more than half of the Fantastic Beast energy extracted.

However, because of this, the red dot at the entrance of the passage began to expand again. Soon, it would cover the entire entrance of the passage.

At this moment, an illusory figure could be seen at the entrance of the passageway. He was holding something in his hand.

The driver was overjoyed. However, he suddenly looked at Chen Qiyue and stared at his Giant Ugly Fish.

His hands dropped to his sides, his fingers moving slightly.

This was a critical moment. If Chen Qiyue dared to move, he would use the daggers hidden on both sides of his thighs to give him a fatal blow.

Chen Qiyue did not move. He just looked at the passage expressionlessly.

The figure at the entrance of the passage became clearer and clearer. That person seemed to be holding a red egg in one hand and a dagger in the other.

The person’s appearance gradually became clearer.

It was also a middle-aged man wearing a black and gray combat uniform. Most importantly, his clothes were tattered and had traces of being burned by flames.

At this moment, his face was covered in dust, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.

However, that pair of eyes was incomparably sinister and carried intense killing intent.

He suddenly glanced at Chen Qiyue and the driver.

With just one glance, Chen Qiyue’s heart started to beat wildly.

He had seen that kind of man-swallowing gaze before.

Before this world changed, or rather, before he transmigrated, he had seen it.

A man who had stolen a phone was discovered by the owner of the phone. The woman reacted quickly and grabbed the man, not letting him escape. She even shouted.

In the end, the man steeled his heart and pulled out a knife to stab the woman in the chest.

At that time, the man’s gaze was exactly the same as the man who was about to come out of the passageway.

Chen Qiyue was sitting on the bus at that time. When he saw this scene, he was stunned.

The saber was covered in blood, which splattered out.

Just like… now…

“Pfft!” Blood splattered on his face.

Chen Qiyue’s pupils constricted.

The driver standing beside the device had a dagger stuck in his neck. Blood splattered everywhere, and a drop landed on Chen Qiyue’s face.

The dagger looked especially familiar. It was thrown by the man at the entrance of the passageway.

The driver looked at the man in shock. The eyes under the sunglasses were filled with surprise and anger.

Obviously, he did not expect that the person who attacked him was actually one of his own!

“Girl!” Chen Qiyue shouted, “Run!”

The Giant Ugly Fish was not stupid. When she saw the driver being killed, she already sensed that something was wrong.

She flicked her tail and slapped away the suction cup on her body. The clouds around her instantly dragged her body and she quickly ran towards Chen Qiyue.

That person clearly did not expect this Giant Ugly Fish to move so quickly.

Most importantly, he believed that this Giant Ugly Fish should be the driver’s new Fantastic Beast.

The reason why he directly threw the dagger to kill the driver was very simple.

It was because he had brought back something that was too important.

To be able to bring him back, they needed at least a B-rank Fantastic Beast, so the Giant Ugly Fish was the biggest threat to him.

It had to be known that his Fantastic Beasts were all seriously injured and were stored in his Beast Taming Space.

Moreover, Chen Qiyue was really too young and did not look like someone who had a B-rank Fantastic Beast.

Therefore, he chose to attack the driver directly and aimed at his neck.

As long as he killed him, no, pierced his neck, the man would not be able to give orders to the Fantastic Beast.

Even if the man forced himself to run over and tear off the tube, this bit of time was enough for him to come out of the passageway.

He could also instantly close the passageway and prevent the Fantastic Beasts behind him from rushing out.

That person’s plan was very good, but he did not expect that the Giant Ugly Fish belonged to Chen Qiyue and not the driver.

More importantly, the Giant Ugly Fish was an extremely smart Fantastic Beast. Moreover, Chen Qiyue had warned her before.

If there were any abnormal movements, she would directly pull off the suction cup on the tube.

Now that something strange had happened, she immediately did so.

As a result, the passageway that was supposed to be open was stuck there. It even showed signs of closing.

...

“Damn you!”

In his heart, the man had already cursed Chen Qiyue and his Giant Ugly Fish a million times.

This time, his face was no longer as calm as before. His body hurriedly squeezed out of the passageway, and he did not forget the red Fantastic Beast egg in his hand.

Chen Qiyue did not run away immediately. Instead, he rushed to the driver’s side and took out the car keys from his pocket.

At the same time, he wiped the bulging area on his thigh.

A flash of realization appeared in his eyes.

Sure enough, this guy had a dagger attached to his leg.

The driver covered his neck with trembling hands. He was not dead yet. He widened his eyes and watched as Chen Qiyue pulled the dagger out of his pocket.

Why did this kid know that he had a dagger hidden here?

When Chen Qiyue looked at the driver from the window, he felt that something was wrong.

The driver’s pants were military pants. There was a pocket on both sides that could hold things.

...

It was hard to tell if something was placed there or not when he was standing.

However, there was still something strange when he sat down.

Especially the dagger. The handle was metal and reflected a little light.

At that time, Chen Qiyue felt that it was a little strange, but he did not think too much about it.

Later, when he saw the driver reaching out to rub the pocket from time to time, he instantly thought of something and his heart skipped a beat.

It would be best if everything could proceed according to the deal smoothly.

But if the driver had no intention of letting him go from the beginning…

Chen Qiyue turned around and ran towards the bus with his dagger and keys.

“Chou~” The Giant Ugly Fish was about to follow Chen Qiyue, but at this moment, she seemed to sense something and turned around to look.

Just in time to see the man sprawled on the cylinder below the mouth of the passage. One of his feet was stuck in the mouth of the closed passage.

At some point, the Double-Clawed Giant Cicada had already disappeared.

In that person’s arms, the fiery red egg seemed to tremble.

“Chou~” A blue light flashed in the Giant Ugly Fish’s eyes. The Wave of Thoughts fluctuated and was instantly cast.
