Of course, there is another reason for staying that is not humane to outsiders.

That's why Li Ang wants to find out why Alice can release the black tide of demonic energy and the reason why her personality changes.

Without understanding this, Li Ang felt uneasy and always felt that something would go wrong in the future.

Pompeii welcomed Leon's decision with both hands.

Indeed, this trip to the institute caused many problems.

If we don’t figure out the problem and then rush to the northern region, we won’t have time to answer questions.

On the contrary, the "Dark Guardian" that Pompeo joked about was just a passing reason.

Xiyuan Town is built on the mountain, and behind the entire town is the gradually rising valley and forest.

In the previous blood moon and black rain massacre, the residents of Xiyuan Town escaped by hiding in the mountains at night.

The mountain forest outside Xiyuan Town is just a corner. This mountain forest spreads to cover the entire western area under the jurisdiction of Rostim City.

Traveling deep along the mountains and forests, across the mountains and valleys, you can reach directly to the United Fund territory in the north.

It's just that the mountains and forests are vast, there are countless beasts of all kinds, and dangers are everywhere.

By the time the three of them reached the mountain, the setting sun was already lingering near the horizon.

The altitude of the mountain forest is slightly higher, and the last sunlight shines in the mountain forest, mixed with the dense moisture in the forest, giving it a rather gloomy feeling.

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely not dare to stay in the mountains and forests at night.

At night, the wild beasts and various bugs in the mountains and forests enter active hunting time.

If there is no open flame, it is easy to be attacked.

But for Li Ang and the other three, there is no such trouble at all.

First of all, Li Ang's strong murderous aura is enough to scare away all the beasts in the mountain forest.

Secondly, there is the dark aura on the three of them. This obviously higher level, real and existing dark attribute has the effect of isolating mosquitoes.

Wherever the three of them set foot, even the insects on the ground would stay away.

Li Ang stood on the cliff and looked out, and soon found a flat cliff.

Due to years of weathering, half of it is embedded in the mountainside, like a stone ship's bow, with half of it protruding.

At the same time, you can see a cave on the side of the mountain.

This is a treasure land with a wide view and shelter from wind and rain, which saves the effort of cutting down trees to build a house.

As for what kind of beasts there are in the cave, Li Ang doesn't care at all.

After all, what's scarier than three dark creatures in the wild?

Go to the cliff cave and kill the big python entrenched in the cave without any effort.

Li Ang also found an ax with a rotten handle, a fishing net bag, a wooden barrel filled with water, an iron pot and flint in the cave.

It is estimated that some hard-working hunter went into the mountains to hunt and rested in the cave. It seemed that he had already become the meal of the giant python.

There is a stone pit in the cave. On the top stone, there will be water droplets seeping from the soil and stone layers on the top of the mountain, dripping into the pit, forming a natural pool that serves as a water source.

With shelter from wind and rain, its own water source, and a variety of complete tools, it immediately captured the hearts of the three of them.

Pompeii was so gushing that his words broke down.

"It seems that we are in for a treat today. Such a big python can be made into snake soup to last for two days."

Li Ang conveniently cut off the venom gland of the python, mixed the venom in the venom gland with the snake's blood, and sucked it up.

The ink sac was replenished, this time with a suspension of python venom, and the spray effect was once again enhanced.

Li Ang cut down some branches and shrubs for firewood;

Pompeii used his front and rear paws together to dig out a pit for making a fire;

Even Alice picked up a few stones near the cliff to use as a stove surround.

Not long after, when the flint ignited the dead grass and shrubs, the fire was lit, and a warm red light suddenly filled the entire cave.

Under Li Ang's skillful chops, the giant python was cut into appropriate sizes and rolled into the boiling pot.

Then there are some fruits and fragrant plants to temper the smell of snake meat.

The remaining python meat is hung in a ventilated position at the entrance of the cave to be air-dried.

The python skin was not wasted. It was spread out and hung to dry. It was planned to be made into snakeskin bags and water bags to facilitate long journeys.

With enough to eat and drink, and a bonfire to keep warm, this was the most comfortable night the three of them had spent after escaping from the research institute.

There is no need to be nervous, and there is no need to worry about being discovered at any time.

In this cliff cave, I felt precious relaxation.

Walking out of the cave, the mountain breeze blew gently at night, bringing with it a hint of chill.

You can directly see Sai Yuan Town from the cliff.

The lights in Xiyuan Town are particularly dense tonight, especially towards the city head, where almost all the lights are turned on.

You don't need to think about it to know that they are processing and destroying the corpses and traces of the elementalist's presence.

Li Ang thought about it for a while and decided to talk about something serious.

"Alice, do you still remember what happened in the institute today?" Li Ang asked.

Alice nodded and explained: "I don't know where that energy comes from. I only know that Uncle Pompeii is very important. I don't want to lose him, so I rushed forward..."

When Pompeii heard this, he also sighed.

But he said: "You kid, didn't I tell you to hide under the stairs? Fortunately, everything is fine now. If it weren't for that black tide of evil energy, wouldn't you be killed by the elementalist's skills along with me?"

Alice smiled, with a flattering look in her eyes.

Originally, he was holding his father, Leon, with both arms, but now he quickly let go, and instead hugged Pompeii gently, and carefully helped him comb the wounds and dog hair on his body.

He said angrily, "I don't dare anymore. I won't dare again next time."

Li Ang looked at Alice who became lively and asked: "Did you feel anything at that time? It was when the black tide of evil energy appeared..."

Alice tilted her head, her pure white eyes looking innocent.

"At that time... my attention was only focused on Uncle Pompeii, and my only thought was that I didn't want anything to happen to Uncle Pompeii. Then, I felt some kind of response to my thoughts, and a wave of energy appeared in my body for no reason.

Energy, I want to vent it out."

With Alice's personal explanation, both Leon and Pompeo were sure that this black tide of evil energy came from Alice's body.

But as to whether it has any relationship or resonance with the sheepskin seal of "The Black Code", this cannot be determined.

"It seems that the cause of the Kuroshio's demonic energy is strong emotions."

This is the unanimous view reached by Leon and Pompeii.

"When you were in Xiyuan Town, how did you come up with the idea of ​​pretending to be released again, thus causing the elementalists to flee?"

You know, Alice is just a five-year-old girl.

In previous contacts, this child was obviously dependent on Li Ang, sensible and obedient, and at the same time somewhat curious about the outside world.

But after releasing the black tide of demonic energy, Alice seemed to have opened up the nerves in her brain. Both in terms of IQ and behavior, she felt like she had shed her childishness and had more complex thinking.

Alice said matter-of-factly: "Because they have already escaped once when they were in the institute. As long as I show up and continue to put on the same posture, they will definitely be fooled."

"Dad, just tell me, did I save you a lot of effort after I took action~"

Li Ang stretched out his hand and rubbed Alice's head: "It really saved the effort of confronting the ice elementalist, and also avoided accidents."

Immediately, Li Ang changed the topic: "But have you ever thought about how dangerous your situation would be if the ice elementalist didn't run away but attacked you instead?"

Alice chuckled: "So dad, don't look at how calm I was at that time. In fact, I was always observing. If the ice elementalist turns his head and makes a move, I will run away immediately!"

Li Ang shook his head speechlessly, looked at each other with Pompeii, and only had one comment left -

A little kid but a big kid!

"Okay, go to bed quickly. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to hunt in the mountains and forests."

Alice jumped up excitedly and went back to the cave to rest happily.

After Alice left, Li Ang asked in a low voice: "Pompei, what do you think?"

"The doctor's sutures brought Alice back to life. This outbreak in the institute is a real enlightenment."

"As for the others, wait until you take her hunting tomorrow to come to a conclusion and see if you can get the answer."

Pompeii guessed at a glance the purpose of Li Ang taking Alice to hunt.

It was nothing more than a test to see if Alice could burst out the black tide of demonic energy again in an extremely dangerous environment.

If it breaks out, it means that violent emotional fluctuations are the key to unlocking the black tide of evil energy.

If there is no outbreak, that also eliminates an incorrect option and is one step closer to being correct.

Pompeii turned his head, glanced at the cave with the flames dancing, and said, "Maybe, this is evolution?"
