The gray mutt was lazing about. It merely retracted its lolling tongue but did not open its eyes. If one looked closely, however, its two ears were pricked up high.
The White Fox lying beside the mutt seemed to have felt nothing at all. It didn't stir, looking as if it were sound asleep.
The chimpanzee squatting under the large tree casually glanced toward the source of the sound. A cold glint flashed through its brown eyes. Its wide, grinning mouth seemed to reveal a cruel smile.
The small child sitting by the pool slowly turned its head around. Its appearance gave Xu Luo a fright.
It had the fair, tender body of a small child but the wizened face of an old man, covered in wrinkles. Its eyes were turbid, like those of a senior at death's door. It stared at Xu Luo and let out a baby's laugh.
"Hee hee hee..."
"A monster!" Xu Luo cried out in alarm and turned to run.
