Hearing Ling Tian's question, Feng Xiaoxi's expression turned serious.
"Ling Tian, you don't know, these faceless beings are far more terrifying than you imagine.
Besides being incredibly fast, these demons also have very sturdy bodies. Even when shot by bullets, they can still move as if nothing happened.
Only by completely smashing their heads can these monsters be truly killed. This means their torsos aren't even vital spots!
I've been a demon hunter for several years, and so far, I've only managed to kill two faceless ones."
"I see," Ling Tian also began to take this seriously.
Feng Xiaoxi continued, "Faceless beings are incredibly fast. Even a well-trained soldier with an assault rifle would have a hard time killing them before they close in.
It takes at least three or more well-trained soldiers, armed with automatic weapons, to even have a chance of killing one faceless being.
Although I'm an ability user with shooting talent, it's still very difficult for me to kill a faceless being one-on-one."
Ling Tian finally understood why Feng Xiaoxi had switched to an AA12 fully automatic shotgun. This gun already has a high rate of fire, and when firing buckshot, it covers a wide area, greatly increasing the chance of hitting the target. Even if it can't kill the target, it can slow them down, allowing for a safe retreat.
"Kate, you should switch to a gun too," Feng Xiaoxi said to A Li.
"No need. Yours feels weak to use, I prefer this one. Besides, I have my hammer!"
A Li wasn't wrong; the Winchester...
"It's fine, we have them too!" Ling Tian's words made Feng Xiaoxi feel a bit hurt. Her own proud ability had become commonplace in front of Ling Tian and the others.
The car was parked in the farmyard, about thirty meters away from the nearest building. The advantage of this was that there were no obstructions to their line of sight, allowing them to spot enemies immediately.
Ling Tian held the Crimson Flame Treasure Sword, while A Li clutched a claw hammer. The two of them walked directly into the depths of the farm.
A Li's nose twitched, and a large amount of scent entered her nasal cavity. Cats have extremely sensitive senses of smell, several times better than dogs.
A Li analyzed the information contained within the scents, and she frowned.
"No living things, nothing at all! Not even mice!" A Li exclaimed.
Ling Tian also realized something was wrong. After all, a farm like this, with its abundant crops, should have an infestation of small animals like mice and voles, not to mention wild rabbits and the snakes attracted by these small creatures.
After hearing A Li's words, Ling Tian immediately activated his Heavenly Eye divine ability. The area within a hundred-meter radius appeared before him with crystal clarity.
"There really are no mice, and even the corpses are gone!"
However, this wasn't entirely surprising. On the way here, Ling Tian had flipped through a book titled "Demon Compendium." This book was a textbook within the Demon Hunter Guild, and there were several versions of it. The more expensive the version, the more detailed the descriptions of the demons, including their weaknesses and habits.
Don't underestimate this information; experienced demon hunters could use it to design targeted traps.
The description of the faceless beings included details about their habits. These creatures favored live prey. Besides a strong liking for human hearts, they also enjoyed eating small animals.
For creatures like mice and rabbits, the faceless beings' large mouths could swallow them almost whole.
Ahead was a three-story house. The door was wide open, swaying in the wind, creaking open and shut, which was quite eerie.
The two entered the house. The rooms were extremely messy, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had taken place.
On the floor, human-shaped outlines were drawn with white tape. It was obvious that these were drawn by the FBI personnel when they were examining the scene, and these white lines outlined the positions of the bodies at the time.
The bloodstains in the room had been cleaned up, and the entire room was filled with the smell of disinfectant. A Li's frown deepened; the little girl disliked this smell.
"I hate this, really, it feels so bad!"
"Bear with it, A Li. Once we clean all this up, we'll leave."
"It feels like there's nothing here..." A Li said somewhat unhappily. In her opinion, the faceless beings were just fun toys.
"The book 'Demon Compendium' states that although these demons appear without pattern, there are actually certain patterns to their appearances. They appear slightly more frequently at night than during the day.
Also, these patterns seem to be related to celestial phenomena...
Let me see, celestial phenomena actually affect the Earth's magnetic field..."
Ling Tian muttered to himself, pulling out a compass. The needle on the compass spun and trembled.
"It's indeed interesting. The magnetic fields here are all chaotic. It seems this might be one of the reasons for the formation of these monsters...
Perhaps the appearance of these monsters is related to changes in the magnetic field. If possible, we might be able to predict their appearance by observing changes in the magnetic field..."
Ling Tian and A Li circled the entire farm for over half an hour and found nothing. They then returned to the car.
"You all go to sleep first. A Li and I will take turns keeping watch. I believe it won't be long before those faceless monsters appear," Ling Tian instructed the women.
"I suspect there will be a fierce battle tonight!"
