Chapter 635 A village suffers horrific devastation
Shijin withdrew his hand and hid it in his sleeve.
It's probably not for any other reason, maybe... it's just because it's too ugly and an eyesore.
She changed the subject, asking Yaochi Duoduo why she insisted on hiding in the mortal realm.
After all, what Mao Dan said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
Although the cultivation world is currently extremely lacking in spiritual energy, it is still better than the mortal world, which has no spiritual energy at all.
Yaochi Duoduo's eyes darkened.
She thought for a moment, and finally revealed her purpose. Actually, she had come to the mortal realm to track down the Angry Beast.
After hearing the whole story, Shijin was completely dumbfounded.
She had a "Do you think I believe you?" look on her face.
They had just left the Angry Beast, but after leaving, Duoduo immediately said she wanted to come to the mortal realm.
If it were truly for the sake of provoking the beast, Duoduo could simply stay in the Provoking Forest.
As expected, Yaochi Duoduo's claim of tracking the Angry Beast was just a pretext.
Her real purpose was to investigate the so-called "Angry Beast" attack on people.
Shijin was puzzled. What was there to investigate? Why not just go back to the Angry Forest and ask the Angry Beasts?
But Yaochi Duoduo wasn't stupid. If Shijin could think of something, how could Yaochi Duoduo not have thought of it?
But the problem is, the Angry Beast has disappeared.
In the past six months, she has returned to the Nuoer Forest no less than five times.
But the Nurarihyon Beast was never seen again in the Nurarihyon Forest.
Shijin certainly didn't believe that they had just missed each other so many times.
Didn't the Angry Beast say it was full and wouldn't leave the Angry Forest for a very long time?
Was it suddenly hungry again, or was there some other reason that forced it to go out hunting again?
After that day, the two began to investigate together.
They traveled far and wide, rushing to wherever news of beasts devouring people reached.
But they were always a step too late in angering the beast, and always ended up missing.
Finally, after their twelfth failed attempt, the two discovered a pattern that wasn't really a pattern.
It seems that the Angry Beast's appetite is growing, and the intervals between its cannibalistic attacks are getting closer.
Furthermore, Shijin discovered something else.
That is, when the beasts were enraged and ate people, it seemed that they ate them village by village.
More than three months have passed since Shijin woke up.
During this period, the Angry Beast launched a total of 16 attacks, large and small. In other words, sixteen villages have already suffered terribly.
The two men created a map showing the locations of more than 100 villages that had been attacked over the past two years.
Then the two made a new discovery: the movement of the Angry Beast seemed to have a direction.
Although the direction is vague, it is clear that it is spreading from the edge of the mortal realm towards its inner interior.
Shijin looked at the map and found it increasingly strange.
To verify my guess.
She decisively asked Mao Dan to collect information from the past ten years or so, from when the Angry Beast started eating people to all the geographical locations now.
Then they carefully marked each item on the map.
Then, she made a strange discovery.
The Nu Nu Forest, where the Nu Nu Beast resides, is clearly located at the border between the cultivation world and the demon realm.
However, according to the map, the initial location of the Angry Beast's evil deeds was at the border between the cultivation world and the mortal world.
This doesn't make sense. The Angry Beast isn't sick, so why would it go out in a big circle to eat people?
Isn't the principle of proximity better?
While Shijin was puzzled, Yaochi Duoduo was also puzzled.
However, what puzzled her was how Shijin knew the location of the Angry Beast and marked it in such detail.
Wasn't she in a coma for 30 years? Could she be lying?
Shijin quietly observed Yaochi Duoduo's expression, and then attributed all the credit to Cangtianxing.
She chuckled and said that the entire Cangwu Sect had helped investigate, as ordered by the Heavenly Order.
However, a mixed platter was also discovered at the same time.
It seems that Yaochi Duoduo had no doubts about the location where the Angry Beast first appeared, as she had just mentioned.
That can only mean one thing: she already knew.
And it's highly likely that this is exactly what she's been trying to investigate all along.
He investigated the Angry Beast, refused to return to his sect, refused to return to the cultivation world, and was left to die in the Angry Forest by Fairy Wanchi.
He was even chased and killed twice by powerful figures along the way.
Shijin felt that she probably understood.
She turned Yaochi Duoduo's shoulder and looked at her very seriously.
"Duoduo, why didn't you kill the Nure Beast back in the Nure Forest?"
Yaochi Duoduo answered naturally, "It has thick skin and flesh, I can't kill it."
Shijin didn't believe it: "But it was already on its last legs. If you wanted to, you could definitely do it."
However, Yaochi Duoduo:
"If the Angry Beast were so easy to kill, my master would have killed it directly."
But you also heard from the Angry Beast that Master couldn't kill it at all. If even Master couldn't do it, naturally I can't either.”
Perhaps even Yaochi Duoduo herself didn't notice.
Although her words were full of certainty, for a moment she avoided looking directly at Shijin.
Shijin caught that look in his eyes.
That look in her eyes—that look—shows that she feels guilty.
If she was 30% certain of her initial guess.
So, Yaochi Duoduo's look just now was enough to increase her suspicions about herself by 50%.
Shijin only thought for a second before her tone suddenly became aggressive.
"No, Duoduo, you can. Although I don't know why your master didn't kill it, you definitely can."
It was on its last legs, about to starve to death. If you had stopped me from going to find the Angry Grass for it, it would have surely died.
But you didn't do that.
Even when you first saw the Angry Beast, you didn't have the slightest bit of killing intent.
Ask yourself, why don't you hate a bloodthirsty demon beast that severely injured your master and just slaughtered hundreds of your fellow disciples?!
There is only one answer: your master was not injured by the Angry Beast! Nor were your hundreds of fellow disciples eaten by the Angry Beast!
Yaochi Duoduo's face turned deathly pale upon hearing this. She angrily channeled her inner energy and flung away Shijin's hand from her shoulder!
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Shijin wasn't annoyed when she was bounced away, because it was obvious that Yaochi Duoduo wasn't really angry.
Otherwise, she wouldn't still be within two meters of Yaochi Duoduo at this moment.
"Duoduo, you know best whether I'm lying or not. I'm sure you've been investigating this matter for more than a year or two, right?"
If I'm not mistaken, you should have already suspected this. And you should already have your suspicions.
Even more so, I bet you've already found some clues!
That's why you volunteered to go to the mortal realm to recruit disciples, and that's why you volunteered to follow Fairy Wanchi to kill the Angry Beast!
Your goal is to explore the doubts in your own heart!
But ironically, everything that happened seemed to confirm your suspicions! That's why you almost got killed in the Angry Forest!
Duoduo, tell me the truth, who was it that tried to silence you three times? Was it...?
However, at this moment, Yaochi Duoduo interrupted Shijin in a hurry and loudly!
"Li Dahua, that's enough!"
