I'm Investigating妖怪Cases in the Human Realm

As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 175 Cold-blooded

Upon waking up to find so much 'food' suddenly appearing in its territory, the crocodile-boar monster was overjoyed and excitedly began chasing after the 'food'.

However, the prey were very cunning and managed to run away separately, making it difficult for the crocodile-boar monster to catch them. For a moment, it didn't know which one to catch.

Finally, it saw a woman with a scent that it really liked, so it decided to catch her and eat her.

While Yue Jiu was being dragged along by Lao Hei, she still had time to look back at the crocodile-boar monster chasing them. However, for some reason, she noticed that the crocodile-boar monster seemed to have a great interest in her, because as it caught up, it kept sniffing the places she passed, as if it were smelling something.

Seeing this, Yue Jiu Nian felt a little helpless, because she had probably guessed what was going on with the crocodile-boar monster's behavior.

Because he was a demon soul, he possessed a spiritual aura that ordinary people couldn't detect. This crocodile-boar monster was probably no ordinary monster either, which is why it could smell his aura.

In fact, Yue Jiu Nian really wanted to run away on her own, or go forward and stop the crocodile-boar monster, but she held back because now was not the time.

When Lao Hei saw the crocodile-boar monster chasing them, he was terrified. After all, this big monster looked like a carnivore, and if it caught him, he would definitely not survive.

So, in order to survive, Lao Hei made a despicable decision: to push Yue Jiu Nian out to be food for the crocodile and boar monster!

"Go to hell!"

Just as the crocodile-boar monster was about to catch up with Lao Hei and Yue Jiu Nian, Lao Hei suddenly stopped, turned around and pushed the bound Yue Jiu Nian behind him, then turned and disappeared into the forest.

The moment Yue Jiu was suddenly pushed out, she instantly guessed what Lao Hei was trying to do, so she simply played along, screamed in terror, and ran back!

"Ah! Help!!!"

However, the screams she made while running were so pitiful that Lao Hei didn't dare to turn around and look at Yue Jiu Nian.

"Tsk~ Hey, he's already run away, should we take a break?"

Seeing that Lao Hei had already disappeared into the woods, Yue Jiu immediately stopped running and said to the crocodile-boar monster still chasing behind her, "Come on, buddy, don't be shy~"

The crocodile-boar monster was still chasing people, but unexpectedly Yue Jiu Nian suddenly stopped, and then it stopped too, even looking at Yue Jiu Nian with a bit of confusion.

However, it was only stunned for a few seconds. Once it came to its senses, the crocodile-boar monster immediately opened its tusk-filled mouth towards Yue Jiunian, trying to bite her.

When Yue Jiu Nian saw this, she calmly jumped up and leaped onto a large tree next to her.

Now that no one is watching her anymore, she no longer needs to pretend.

"Hey~ Aren't you tired? You've been running for so long, how come you're not tired? I'm exhausted!"

Yue Jiu Nian sat on a tree branch and looked at the crocodile-boar monster throwing a tantrum under the tree.

After Yue Jiu Nian jumped onto the big tree, the crocodile-boar monster began angrily ramming its body against the tree, trying to knock it down and make Yue Jiu Nian fall.

It must have been so hungry that when it saw the 'meat' that was almost in its mouth, it suddenly flew up to the tree and became very angry!

Even when Yue Jiu saw the tree she was standing on swaying precariously after being hit by the crocodile-boar monster, she wasn't worried. She was very confident and certain that she wouldn't fall. She even had the mood to provoke the crocodile-boar monster.

"Hey~ Why do you always crash into trees? If you're so capable, why don't you climb one yourself?"

It's unclear whether the crocodile-boar monster could understand Yue Jiu Nian's words, but when it heard them, it became even angrier and actually tried to climb the tree!

As we all know, pigs can't climb trees, but some crocodiles can. So after Yue Jiu Nian said that provocative thing, he began to look forward to the extremely angry monster climbing up the tree to play with it.

And this crocodile-boar monster really did not disappoint Yue Jiu Nian's expectations, because after hearing Yue Jiu Nian's words, it began to use its crocodile claws to grab the tree trunk and try to climb the tree!

Seeing that the crocodile-boar monster was actually starting to climb the tree, Yue Jiu Nian looked surprised. She clapped her hands and said, "Wow~ Not bad~ Keep it up! I'll come down after you're up!"

The crocodile-boar monster was struggling to climb the tree, but as soon as Yue Jiu said those words, it stopped climbing and went back to the ground to start banging its head against the tree again.

Seeing this, Yue Jiu Nian became even more certain that the thing underground could understand human speech, so she guessed that it was probably a monster that had gained sentience.

She looked at the monster and said, "Alright, stop crashing. Let's talk. Actually, I'm not human either. I think we might be able to talk."

As she spoke, she reached up and wiped her face, instantly reverting to Jiang Nian's appearance.

"Sigh~ After changing my face for so many days, I've finally changed it back, but I still don't feel that it looks as good as my real self."
