Chapter 64

To be honest, apart from purely showcasing his heroic male demeanor, Mo Fan was very puzzled by the reappearance of the "tremor" thing.

The tremor at the Mingwen Girls' High School canteen had already occurred once. Why did another mysterious tremor appear in another part of Bocity after not much time had passed? Could it really be the giant-eyed rat again?

It was said that after the giant-eyed rat was eliminated, other areas of Mingwen Girls' High School still experienced slight tremors. The police did not find any conclusive evidence, and the school confirmed that the campus was safe, so it opened as scheduled.

"My grandmother lives here, and the area where the tremors occurred is over there." Zhou Min pointed to an old house and then to a square that had become a pile of old house ruins.

The construction team had withdrawn from the site for some time due to funding issues. The entire abandoned area could be described as desolate and uninhabited. At night, the bright lights of the distant city could not reach here, and the dark clouds obscured the night sky. The poor starlight could not dispel the eerie atmosphere that permeated the abandoned construction site.

Now, Mo Fan, the city management officer, was bold and agile. He leaped over the temporary construction walls with ease. Just as he landed gracefully, he noticed that Zhou Min had entered through a small side door, making the atmosphere instantly awkward.

"Ahem, at what time do the tremors usually start?" Mo Fan asked.

"At night, at irregular intervals." Zhou Min, who usually appeared to be a strong and capable girl, couldn't help but move closer to Mo Fan in this desolate construction site.

Mo Fan took a few steps forward and pulled out a sachet from his pocket.

He untied the sachet, revealing some crystalline powder. Mo Fan blew on the powder, and it immediately dispersed into the air, slowly settling in the construction site area.

"This is... monster-hunting powder?" Zhou Min, being a top student, recognized the item at first glance.

"Yep," Mo Fan nodded.

Monster-hunting powder is a must-have for city management officers during dark and windy nights when they hunt monsters!

"How did you bring this? Do you really think there are monsters here?" Zhou Min asked in surprise.

Which student would carry this kind of thing, especially in Bocity, which is not a remote wilderness?

"Miss, you have to trust the professionals. Look for yourself," Mo Fan pointed to the crystalline powder that had already settled.

The powder had settled about ten meters away from the two of them, and it seemed to be adhering to something, forming an outline on the dusty ground. The outline looked like... a footprint!

Zhou Min was stunned.

Oh my God, are there really monsters in Bocity???

Monsters' auras are usually hard for mages to detect, especially if the monsters have already left the area.

What makes monster-hunting powder special is its extreme sensitivity to monsters' auras. Even a footprint left by a monster ten days ago can be immediately detected by the powder!

"What... what should we do??" Zhou Min's face turned pale with fear.

She had always firmly believed what her teachers said, thinking that the city was the safest place. Who would have thought that there were real monster footprints, and the monster-hunting powder wouldn't lie!

"I'll go check the footprint shape..." Mo Fan, being bold, walked over directly.

"We... we should notify the monster-hunting team right away," Zhou Min shivered involuntarily.

Mo Fan was speechless.

I am the genuine Bocity monster-hunting team, so why should I notify anyone!

Moreover, the monster-hunting team isn't idle. Without sufficient and accurate evidence, they wouldn't easily mobilize the entire team.

The footprint outline revealed by the monster-hunting powder is only a suspicion, not solid evidence. After all, it's also possible that a summoner was walking their pet in this construction site.

"This footprint doesn't look like that of a giant-eyed rat," Mo Fan frowned.

"Mo... Mo Fan... let's go," Zhou Min said, sounding scared.

Mo Fan wanted to investigate further and continued walking into the construction site.

Zhou Min cautiously followed Mo Fan.

"It seems to be hiding in that unfinished building," Mo Fan pointed to a building that only had a shell.

This building was intended to be a mall, with a very large floor area. Inside, there were piles of cement bags, tools, and waste materials. The footprint revealed by the monster-hunting powder ended at this unfinished mall. If something was living here, it would definitely be hiding inside, causing trouble!

This construction site had been abandoned for at least two months, making it the best hiding place.

"Mo... Mo... Mo Fan..." Zhou Min's voice suddenly became stiff, trying to warn Mo Fan in a very strange way.

Mo Fan immediately followed Zhou Min's gaze, looking through the brick wall. In the area that was supposed to be the first floor, there was a black shadow moving!!!

It was a creature with strong hind legs, standing so tall that its head almost touched the second floor ceiling.

Its overall shape was somewhat similar to a ghost wolf, but it was different in that it wasn't on all fours; instead, it was in a semi-upright position like a werewolf!!!

The biggest difference was its eyes.

On its wolf-like head, there was only one eye, which looked particularly eerie in the darkness!

"It... it's a one-eyed demon wolf!" Zhou Min almost screamed.

The one-eyed demon wolf is a ferocious monster that teachers in the monster class have mentioned countless times. Unlike the giant-eyed rat, which lives in dark corners, one-eyed demon wolves mostly inhabit remote mountains and wilderness. They have a natural enmity towards humans and even enjoy eating them!

They relish killing, are greedy and cruel, and they eye anyone who dares to leave the human living area with hostility!!!

"Damn, a one-eyed demon wolf appearing near the city, this is serious!" Mo Fan was equally shocked after seeing this.

Not long ago, he, like Zhou Min, believed that the city was absolutely safe.

Who would have thought that this was already the second monster he had encountered in Bocity.

The appearance of a giant-eyed rat in the city wasn't too strange, as this creature often lives in the sewers and cemeteries of human cities. But how could a ferocious one-eyed demon wolf appear in such a place?

"What... what is it doing??" Zhou Min's face was already pale with fear.

"Eating a midnight snack," Mo Fan replied.

Zhou Min looked closely and almost fainted.

The one-eyed demon wolf was chewing, and in the dim light, Zhou Min saw a severed arm!

Oh my God, that's a human arm.

Mo Fan, you bastard, how can you so casually say that this monster is eating a midnight snack!

It's eating a person!!!

It really is eating a person!!!
