In the Midwest of the United States, many remote farms have been invaded by faceless creatures, and all living beings on the farms have been killed by them.
Faceless creatures are demonic beings that are fond of eating the hearts of humans and mammals. They like to dig out the beating hearts and savor the hot blood within.
They kill everything alive in sight and then hide nearby, waiting for other prey to arrive.
In the United States, the second most frequently encountered type of demonic creature is the satyr.
These monsters sometimes have human-like bodies, and sometimes they are simply bipedal sheep. These creatures have sheep heads.
Of course, "satyr" is a general term. Besides those with sheep heads, there are also monsters with the heads of cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle and deer.
These satyrs are also extremely violent in temperament. Although they do not eat people, they are fond of carrying clubs, maces, and similar weapons to smash the heads of all living creatures to pieces.
These satyrs are individually immensely strong, and their weapons often weigh tens of pounds. Moreover, satyrs themselves are very resilient, their bodies being as if forged from iron. Ordinary handguns are difficult to inflict fatal damage upon them. The only way to completely kill a satyr is to sever its head or smash it.
The third type of demon frequently encountered in the United States is the vengeful spirit.
These vengeful spirits often do not exist alone but possess human bodies, manipulating these humans to commit atrocities.
What is even more terrifying is that ordinary people, and even many demon hunters, cannot distinguish whether a normal person has been possessed by these vengeful spirits.
Often, people possessed by vengeful spirits lose their sanity and personally kill those around them, their own family and friends. Only then do the vengeful spirits release their possession.
At this point, the person who has regained sanity sees what they have done, sees their family and friends killed by their own hands, and it is difficult not to go mad. And these vengeful spirits love to witness such scenes the most.
As Ling Tian and the others selected missions, Feng Xiaoxi provided them with information about these demonic creatures in the United States.
Finally, Ling Tian selected a mission: Demon Hunting at Cisco Farm!
This farm is located in the western United States, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. For a radius of more than 30 kilometers, there is only this one farm. The farm owner's family, along with a few hired hands, a total of over a dozen people, lived peacefully at Cisco Farm.
Cisco Farm is very remote, and no one usually comes. They only went out once in a while to purchase essential living supplies.
Farm owner Old Cisco had taken out some loans in recent years to purchase new agricultural machinery. As a result, bank personnel discovered that he was nearly two months overdue.
The bank personnel tried various ways to contact Old Cisco but could not reach him at all. They received no replies to their emails, and their phone calls went unanswered.
They even attempted to contact other people on the farm, but all of them were also out of contact.
So, the bank sent two business representatives to collect the debt. When these two arrived at the farm, they were driven mad by fear.
There were no living creatures left on the entire farm; everyone was dead, their hearts ripped out. There were over a dozen corpses on the farm, as well as some dead animals. Even the chickens and ducks on the farm had their necks twisted.
Such cases could no longer be handled by ordinary police officers. The FBI immediately summoned elite agents from Quantico. After investigating the scene, they quickly withdrew their entire team.
Those people were sharp individuals. Upon seeing the scene, they knew who was responsible. Clearly, the culprit was a faceless creature!
They were well aware that ordinary people could not deal with faceless creatures. Even if the army were dispatched to encircle and suppress them, it would likely come at a heavy cost.
However, the farm still owed the bank a large sum of money, and Cisco Farm itself was a valuable asset. But to find someone to take it over, the faceless creatures there had to be cleared out.
In their helplessness, the bank entrusted this case to the Demon Hunter Guild.
However, this mission had been posted on the Demon Hunter Guild for several months. Dozens of demon hunters had taken on this mission, but after accepting it, they vanished without a trace, as if they had disappeared from the world.
The answer was obvious: these people had failed the mission and were all killed by the monsters there.
Now, no one had taken on this mission for some time. The bounty was increasing, yet no one was interested. After all, no matter how high the reward, life was more important.
Therefore, Ling Tian decided to take on this mission, mainly because he also wanted to see what these so-called faceless creatures were like.
Aurora had no objections to Ling Tian's choice, and Ahri said nothing. As long as she could follow Ling Tian and have good food and fun, Ahri had no other opinions.
Feng Xiaoxi, however, expressed concern about this mission. She stated that the disappearance of so many demon hunters on the farm indicated that there might be more than one faceless creature there. And faceless creatures were incredibly fast; if two faceless creatures acted together, their power would definitely be greater than the sum of their parts.
However, since Ling Tian had already made his decision, Feng Xiaoxi could not say anything more. As a member of the Misty Rain Pavilion, Feng Xiaoxi had to obey Ling Tian's orders.
Ling Tian and the others bid farewell to Ata Srem. Ata Srem sent people to drive them to the nearest town. At this time, Aurora also had her subordinates deliver a Unimog off-road RV.
Unimog is a truck brand under Mercedes-Benz. Each wheel of this vehicle has independent suspension, giving it extremely strong off-road capabilities. RVs modified from these trucks are the favorites of many travelers and adventure enthusiasts.
The four of them got into the vehicle and took turns driving. After a few days, the vehicle slowly approached Cisco Farm.
When they were still more than ten kilometers away from the farm, Feng Xiaoxi stopped the car and began to check their weapons and equipment.
To Ling Tian's surprise, Feng Xiaoxi did not continue to use his Winchester shotgun. Instead, she had an AA12 shotgun, which is also a world-famous firearm.
This AA12 shotgun is a fully automatic weapon, fed by a 20-round drum magazine. Its rate of fire is comparable to some rifles, providing significant firepower.
This time, Feng Xiaoxi did not choose slugs with extremely high penetration but opted for buckshot.
This type of ammunition is loaded with several steel balls, each over 6 centimeters in diameter. Once fired, it spreads out in a wide pattern.
"Huh, Xiaoxi, why did you change your equipment?" Ling Tian asked curiously.
