Finding the Shadow Beast

Chapter 15 Finding the Shadow Beast

Wu Tiao Wu lay on the sofa at Mo Fan's place until the afternoon, until Mo Fan received the information sent by his good brother and comrade-in-arms, read it, and then called Wu Tiao Wu over to take a look.

Gojo Satoru glanced at the information on the computer and immediately saw the key points. The information was very detailed, but only two parts were actually useful.

First point: The tamed shadow beasts have an extreme fondness for beef.

Secondly, the Shadow Beast is a creature whose tail hair easily falls out, and the fallen hair has a fluorescent effect.

Then, Gojo Satoru accompanied Mo Fan to the police station to investigate some of the theft information.

Upon receiving the information, Gojo Satoru immediately began studying it, as did Mo Fan.

Before long, the two arrived at the beef warehouse and searched carefully.

After searching more than twenty beef warehouses, Gojo Satoru and Mo Fan finally found the fluorescent tail hair.

"The shed tail hairs will slowly decompose into powder after seven days. This hair is almost turned into powder, so it obviously won't stay for long," Mo Fan said, rubbing the hair.

"Give it to me." Gojo Satoru reached out and took the tail hair, smiling as he said, "No need to check the warehouse anymore, I'll track it with my aura."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gojo Satoru's misty eyes flashed with a faint azure light, and various routes, similar to navigation, appeared in his full field of vision, with the intensity of the shadow beast aura divided by the shade of color.

Seeing this, Mo Fan watched with envy as Wu Tiao Wu slowly operated the device, thinking to himself: We are both born with talent, so why are your functions so comprehensive!

"Walk!"

After confirming the route with the strongest aura among the several, Gojo Satoru immediately left the warehouse and asked Mo Fan to follow.

After leaving the warehouse, Gojo Satoru pressed his hands on Mo Fan's shoulders and murmured something.

"Instantaneous movement"

The next moment, a flash of silver light appeared, and Mo Fan saw a dazzling silver-white constellation spreading from around Gojo Satoru until it enveloped him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself at the entrance of a secluded warehouse.

Mo Fan stared in disbelief at Gojo Satoru, who was about the same age as him, and said in a trembling voice, "Satoru, you're actually a high-level space-type mage!"

"Yeah, didn't Lingling and Old Man Bao tell you?" Wu Tiao Wu asked in surprise.

"I've never heard of that." Mo Fan shook his head with a bitter face.

If Lingling and Old Man Bao knew what was going on today, they would definitely complain.

You didn't ask!

"In fact, I had already reached the advanced level when I enrolled."

Gojo's tone was as calm as still water, making Mo Fan feel that breaking through to a higher level was a very ordinary thing. But was that really the case? Obviously not.

"Let's talk about these things later, let's take care of business first," Mo Fan said with a wry smile.

"Hmm." Gojo Satoru nodded, opened the closed warehouse door, and checked whether the Shadow Beast inside was indeed the one they wanted.

Inside the warehouse lay a creature the size of a leopard with thick fur, its long tail glowing brightly in the darkness.

"This is it!" The bitterness on Mo Fan's face vanished instantly, replaced by excitement and exhilaration.

"This spot is destined for me." Gojo Satoru acted as if the 'Three-Step Tower spot' was his for the taking, and then said, "Let your Ghost Wolf Beast take it back."

"Okay." Mo Fan immediately summoned the Shadow Wolf Beast, which carried the Shadow Beast in its mouth as it prepared to return.

After walking for a short while, Mo Fan's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, who is this?"

“…………”

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time," Mo Fan replied before hanging up.

"What's wrong?" Gojo Satoru asked curiously.

The main problem is that Mo Fan's expression turned gloomy after he finished the call, which is very strange.

"The police clerk said a large amount of beef was stolen from Xu Jiang'an, but the Shadow Beast has been recovered. This could very well be a trap!" Mo Fan guessed.

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru frowned, then asked, "Are you saying this might be a trap set by the Black Vatican to lure people in?"

"Yes, very likely!" Mo Fan said seriously.

"In that case, let me go to Xujiang'an to scout things out, just in case we lure you away. Mo Fan, don't go back to school yet, wait for my news." Wu Tiao Wu prepared for this trap with the utmost care.

Gojo Satoru went there to get rid of these damned scoundrels; after all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days.

"Okay." Seeing how serious Gojo Satoru was, Mo Fan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Seeing that Mo Fan agreed, Gotō Sū rubbed a [Azure] pill between his fingers and used it for spatial teleportation.

If it weren't for the fact that [Azure] is difficult to carry people, Gojo Satoru wouldn't have needed to use Instantaneous Movement before. The mana consumption of high-level magic is too high, ten times that of Azure!

…………

A fierce battle is taking place inside a factory in Xujiang'an.

Inside the factory, a man dressed in purple was locked in combat with more than a dozen black, deformed monsters. A purple star map of lightning appeared around the man, with thunderous bolts of lightning striking one after another!

Although the power of thunder was formidable, the monsters outnumbered him, and the purple-clad man was ultimately defeated in this intense battle due to being outnumbered.

Finally, the magical defense shattered, and the purple-clad man, covered in wounds, was dragged helplessly by the black, deformed monster to a gray-robed man.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing the purple-clad man's face, the gray-robed leader stomped heavily on the purple-clad man's chest and then cursed loudly.

"Take him back to the priest," said the other man beside him.

"We need to evacuate immediately to avoid being exposed too soon!"

"The one by the door, I need..."

Click!

However, before the man could finish speaking, a white-haired youth covered in silver light stepped through the group of black deformed monsters and crushed the neck of the gray-robed man who was stepping on the purple-clothed man with his hands like iron clamps.

"You should stay here instead of being rats in the gutter!" The person who came was naturally Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru used magical fluctuations to pinpoint the exact location, only to find an unfortunate fellow battling a group of creatures emitting a foul stench as soon as he arrived in the vicinity.

As expected, they were the Black Beast Demon and the Black Church's henchmen that Mo Fan had mentioned.

"Black Beast, kill him quickly!" The remaining four gray-robed men roared at the black, deformed monster.

Although seven have died, the four of them still have 18 that they can command.

"They really are from the Black Vatican!"

Upon hearing the words "Black Beast Demon," Gojo Gosai completely confirmed the gray-robed man's identity and reacted swiftly, unleashing several punches at the group of Black Beast Demons who had surrounded him!

The punches were incredibly fierce, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Before the eighteen black beast demons could even defend themselves, their bodies exploded like watermelons.

"So weak?" Gojo Satoru stared in astonishment at the corpses that couldn't even withstand his full-force attack.

Seriously? This is the power that Mo Fan was so wary of?
