However, he had killed a Shadow Snake at that time, and it was to protect himself.

Now they were really being remembered? That's not a good thing, I thought.

At this moment, the snake in front of me stares fixedly at me with its triangular eyes. Slowly, it bends its body, as though it is ready to attack at any moment.

To think that a snake could come to my house in such cold weather, this should also be a Shadow Snake.

It was a pity that the previous incident did not seem to have settled down, as it was followed by trouble.

My hair stood on end as the snake stared at me. My breathing became heavy as the snake glared at me. I stared back.

Under its gaze, I didn't even dare to make a move. I didn't even have the courage to turn around and find a weapon.

After all, this snake could attack at any time. I've seen this kind of Shadow Snake's speed before, so it's quite fast.

Perhaps when I turned around, my life was already gone.

Furthermore, I am also worried about one thing. If I can kill this snake this time around, won't more snakes come knocking on my door in the future?

If this sort of thing were to suddenly bite you when you weren't paying attention … It's also very deadly...

This was because this snake, which had been tainted with resentment for a long time, might have a poison that was even more deadly than snake venom.

Venomous...

The more I thought about it, the more creepy it felt, and at this moment, this snake's body bent more and more, and it seemed that it was about to pounce towards me!

I took a deep breath and was about to turn around and pick up something that would catch my eye when I saw the angle of the snake and should be able to calculate the direction it was heading towards me.

This way, whether I attack or dodge, it'll be relatively easier …

Just as I turned around, I heard a hissing sound from behind me. Is it finally time to attack?!

I was shocked. At this moment, all of the hairs on my body stood up.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a series of hoarse cat meows came from above.

The cat's cry was heart-wrenching, as if it was suffering from intense pain.

However, when I heard the mournful meowing of a cat, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. This was because the meow sounded very special. I always felt as though I had heard it somewhere before.

Following which, I saw a black shadow jump down from the roof. It was a black cat with all its hair standing on end and its eyes emitting a sinister light.

The teeth in his mouth were already dark. It was just that there was snow on the ground and the moon in the sky, making everything look brighter.

However, it was because of this that the cat's teeth looked even whiter. Along with its hoarse mewling, it also let out a rumbling sound.

It was the black cat that had appeared under his coffin the night before his adoptive father's funeral!

Actually, the black cat looked the same. If one wasn't in constant contact with it, it would be impossible to recognize it.

However, this cat's aura is very special, and when I hear it, I feel a sense of familiarity, so it shouldn't be wrong.

However … Why did this black cat appear here? It's been so long since we've seen each other …

This black cat was so strange that I had always thought it might have something to do with the whole thing, and now it was here again, just as it had suddenly appeared in the village when something happened.

Is this also a sign of something?

The more I thought about it, the weirder it became. I frowned and stared at the snake and the cat in front of me.

The black cat had not appeared for so long, so it was naturally not a coincidence that it appeared so suddenly.

At this moment, the black cat's fur was standing on end as it charged towards the snake on the ground, stopping it with a single claw.

Before I could react, the black cat had already bit down on the snake's body.

It could not be considered to be the body of the snake. It was located just below the head of the snake. It should be a vital part of the snake's body.

In an instant, blood gushed out from the snake's body. This small body could actually have so much blood flowing out. Moreover, the blood was mixed with a faint black color, completely permeating the snow.

A fishy stench permeated the air. The blood of many snakes was truly fishy.

Furthermore, I have seen in the Compendium of Evil Theurgy that the body of a Shadow Snake is tainted with the grievances of the dead, and it has already seeped into the blood.

The snake itself was a cold-blooded animal, and appeared to be negative. When the resentful aura seeped into the body of the snake, it instead gave birth to this cold feeling of the snake itself.

As a result, the Miasma in the blood of the Shadow Snakes would easily fuse with the Miasma, making it easy for the Miasma to enter the blood of the Shadow Snakes.

Thinking about this, I took a deep breath and looked at the blood seeping into the snow. There wasn't any Yin Qi rising from the blood. Instead, it rapidly froze with the ice and snow on the ground.

The snake's body violently wiggled a few times, then it stood there stiffly and didn't move at all.

He just died like that …

I frowned slightly as I looked at the corpse on the ground, and at the black cat licking its tongue as it ate the blood.

This black cat had always given me a demonic vibe. On the day of my adoptive father's mourning hall, the first time I saw it, it had scared me to death.

At this moment, the act of licking my blood made me feel a chill in my heart. This feeling came from the depths of my bones.

He was not only looking at the scene, but he was also recalling all his past memories.

When Liu Songxian saw the black cat at that time, he was extremely shocked and even told me something about a cat reporting a funeral.

Now that he thought about it, he was probably serious when he said that the cat had reported for funeral.

Because I felt that his expression when he saw the black cat wasn't faked. It was a true shock and fear.

That was to say, this cat reporting for mourning was not something he had invented.

It's just that I've heard of this cat reporting for funeral. I've heard that there aren't any relatives in the foster father's family, so I don't have any blood ties with him.

At that time, he was thinking, if a cat reported a funeral, who would it be?

Now that he thought about it, the cat news that Liu Songxian mentioned might have a different meaning, it was just that this meaning was related to the secret at that time, so Liu Songxian didn't dare to reveal it.

But... I should have thought of this long ago, but because I haven't seen this black cat in a long time, I actually threw all these matters out the window!

He was truly confused!

Thinking of this, my heart was extremely vexed. The so called 'cat mourning' probably meant mourning for those who died afterwards!

Although this may be a bit of a farce, it may just be a coincidence.

But after the cats reported for mourning, one death after another began to happen.

The strangest thing was, this black cat was not a village cat. However, every time something happened in the village, it would appear.

When things were calm, not a single shadow could be seen. This was rather strange.

Thinking of this, I stared at the cat licking my blood and took two deep breaths. What kind of existence was this cat? Was there really some intelligence or perceptive ability that other cats did not have?

Just as I was thinking about this, the black cat in front of me had already eaten up all the blood in her body. She shakes the blood in her mouth, causing it to spurt out even more blood.

As it licked the food, the black cat made gurgling sounds from its throat.

This voice was completely different from the previous one. It was a very enjoyable cry, as if he was enjoying his spoils of war to his heart's content.

When I saw that the snake's internal organs had already been picked out by the cat, I felt a wave of disgust in my heart. This cat didn't even look at me, as if I wasn't even worth looking at.

I didn't think that the cat came here on purpose to save me. Rather than saying that the cat came here to save me, it would be more accurate to say that the cat came here to save me. I was just lucky.

The appearance of the Shadow Snakes in the village was definitely not a good omen.

I didn't want to continue watching the black cat eat the corpse, so I simply closed the door and went to prepare dinner.

After all, it was impossible to get any clues from a cat.

When I opened the door again, there was only a leather bag left. All of the food inside had been eaten by the black cat. The surrounding blood had already merged with the snow, turning into black and red crystals of ice.

Perhaps it is due to my mental state. Even though so much time has passed, I can still smell a fishy stench permeating the air.

This smell was as if it couldn't be dispersed and continued to spread.

From today onwards, it seemed that he had to be careful. Not only did he have to be careful of people and ghosts, he also had to be careful of the snake's retaliation.

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little laughable and a little sad. Although I didn't have any happy memories when I was growing up into a big village, since when did I need to be this careful?

After pondering for a very long time, I finally let out a helpless sigh. Then, I cleaned up the things on the ground a little, so that everything around me looked a little tidy, so that Lingling wouldn't be scared when she comes out.

The black cat had already disappeared, leaving behind a trail of fresh blood. I was still doubtful. If the black cat really had intelligence, then would it have its own team?

If so, where did it stand?

How many pairs were there in the whole village?

At the very least, they were clearly not united …

For the next few days, I went out very carefully, afraid that there would be a snake attacking me. However, nothing like this happened.

However, several days had passed. In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month. During these few days, something strange had indeed happened in the village …
