“Ah, where’s my watermelon?”
Looking at the messy watermelon shed, Mcgee was dumbfounded.
“Who did it?”
Hearing Mcgee’s shock, the Spider Queen and little Spirit Fox ran over, thinking they could consume big watermelons again.
But seeing the big watermelon disappear in front of them, the two beasts were stunned.
“Ah! Where are my watermelons?” The little Spirit Fox widened her eyes.
The Spider Queen was also stunned, looking around with seven or eight eyes.
At this time, Mcgee also recovered and looked at the Spider Queen and the little Spirit Fox.
There was no other beast here. Mcgee could guarantee this.
Because he would go on patrol every day to check if there were any traces of beasts coming.
In addition, there was the Spider Queen’s spider web defense outside. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for a beast to break through his defenses.
Could it be the little Spirit Fox and the Spider Queen?
But this thought existed in Mcgee’s mind for a second before it was dismissed.
The little Spirit Fox had been following him all this time and had no time to commit such crimes.
Moreover, he doted on his first beast very much, so naturally, he would not be stingy with it.
It also knew that, so it wanted to eat, there was no need to sneak.
And the Spider Queen had no appetite for watermelons.
Although she also ate, it was far from reaching the point of greed.
But who was it?
Mcgee frowned.
Then he slowly walked up.
The watermelon shed was badly damaged.
It could be seen that the other party seemed to have picked it with great difficulty.
Suddenly…
Mcgee found something unusual.
On the path in the watermelon shed, there were a few rows of shallow footprints.
Mcgee squatted down. The footprints were triangular.
It was definitely not human.
And the feet of the little Spirit Fox and the Spider Queen, one was a five-clawed one, and the other was a needle-like footprint. So, naturally, it was neither of them.
And the feet of the Steel Fairy were similar to humans but also not triangular.
“Could it be that a beast really came in?”
Mcgee voiced his guess.
Then he looked at the little Spirit Fox.
The little Spirit Fox also climbed down and kept pulling. Finally, after looking for a while, she said, “This footprint is indeed from a beast, and there is also the smell of a beast in the air.”
The Spider Queen also nodded.
His guess was confirmed. Mcgee nodded and continued to search for clues.
The watermelon in the field was not cut off.
Mcgee found a second clue.
It should have been bitten off. Unfortunately, the teeth were not big, and it took a lot of biting to succeed.
It seemed that this beast was not big.
But how did it avoid the surveillance of the Spider Queen?
If it could easily bypass the Spider Queen’s vigilance and get inside, would that not mean that its defense was useless?
Thinking of this, Mcgee frowned.
He suddenly thought that the problem now was not the watermelon.
If he could not find this beast, it was very likely that his own safety was a problem.
Because it could stealthily steal so many watermelons without being discovered if it wanted to kill people, who could resist the beast present?
It seemed that he had to find this beast quickly.
Mcgee looked around, then instructed the two beasts to start looking.
But after searching for a long time, Mcgee still could not find it.
It was as if the beast had never been here.
Just as Mcgee was about to bring the little Spirit Fox outside to look for it.
Suddenly, there was movement in the sweet potato field.
Mcgee and the little Spirit Fox hurriedly looked over.
They saw that the soil buried with the sweet potato was slowly lifted, and then a small sweet potato was dug out and quickly disappeared.
Just when Mcgee thought that the other party had left, the other party committed another crime, but like before, he still could not see what kind of creature it was!
Mcgee looked at the little Spirit Fox and the Spider Queen and whispered, “Invisibility?”
The two beasts nodded.
“This is troublesome!”
Mcgee frowned.
At the moment, he could only catch the other party’s figure through the sweet potatoes. Once it was alarmed, it would definitely escape quickly. By then, it would be as difficult as climbing up to the sky to find it.
At this time, the little Spirit Fox was ready to use magic to kill the beast directly.
Sensing the little Spirit Fox’s actions, Mcgee hurriedly stopped it.
“Why don’t you kill it?” The little Spirit Fox asked in confusion.
Mcgee shook his head and replied in a low voice, “If you can’t hit it and let it escape successfully, it will be difficult for us to catch it again!”
The little Spirit Fox was not stupid. It nodded and obediently put away its flames.
At this time, Mcgee also thought of a way to catch the thief.
It seemed that he had to use the previous method of catching the Steel Fairy.
But why did the system prompt not appear?
Could it be that there was a problem?
Mcgee frowned. The system still did not prompt him.
So Mcgee was not prepared to wait.
God knows how long this invisible beast would stay. But, if he let it go, Mcgee would want to cry!
So Mcgee told the Spider Queen his strategy.
The Spider Queen nodded and then slowly left.
Soon, it found a few of its cubs and made a big spider web according to Mcgee’s instructions.
To ensure the sturdiness of the spider web, it specially prepared two layers.
When it was ready, it brought a few small spiders and moved toward the invisible creature.
After arriving at the predetermined position, Mcgee nodded to the Spider Queen.
Then, with a hand gesture, he had the four children of the Spider Queen drag the spider web and start to surround the invisible beast.
But when the small spider was dragging the web, it unexpectedly made a noise.
At this time, everyone revealed nervous expressions.
Mcgee quickly stretched out his hand to signal the little spider to stop.
After stopping, everyone did not make any movements and slowly waited.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, startling the sweet potato leaves on the ground to rustle.
The invisible beast mistook the sound for the wind.
Therefore, it was relieved a lot, and once again picked up the sweet potato.
Seeing the invisible beast move again, Mcgee, the little Fox Spirit, and the Spider Queen let out a sigh of relief.
Then, they signaled the Spider Queen to continue standing.
After the accident last time, they were very careful. Soon, the four spiders were positioned.
With Mcgee’s order, the big spider jumped up and jumped down from the invisible monster. There was a white spider web above its head. As the Spider Queen landed, the spider web instantly covered the entire sweet potato field.
After the Spider Queen landed, the four small spiders quickly pressed down on the four corners.
Feeling the sudden attack, the invisible monster instantly panicked. It did not look in the direction and ran away.
It was very nervous as it ran and lost things.
At this time, the little Spirit Fox moved.
It found the right time to jump and instantly pressed the invisible monster down.
The monster that was pressed down squeaked loudly, but it could not move at all.
Mcgee came to the front and looked at the monster that had already shown itself. He frowned and said, “It’s actually a beast tamed by an owner?”
