After he finished speaking, there was another long silence. Ignoring Feng Qiwu's somewhat artificial wailing, Chi Yizhong's heart was full of doubts.
He couldn't understand who else besides Feng Qiwu would be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter as to steal the stone statue he carved.
This bet is not only a matter between them, the most important thing is to help Chu Liangyu obtain the power of faith more easily.
Even if others don't understand the meaning of the statue, most people will stop having any bad thoughts about it after learning that it is related to Chu Liangyu.
"No, you're planning to leave now?"
Seeing him about to leave, Feng Qiwu immediately shouted, "I was beaten up by you for no reason, and you don't have any compensation for me?"
Chi Yizhong paused slightly, not wanting to pay attention, but knowing he was in the wrong, he still said, "I'm sorry."
"That's it?"
Feng Qiwu's feeling of frustration didn't get any better because of his apology. He was about to say something, but Chi Yizhong didn't even look at him. After apologizing, his figure disappeared from his sight at an extremely fast speed.
"What the hell."
Seeing people leave, he stopped howling, gently brushed off the dust on his body, raised his hand and stood up by holding the tree trunk beside him.
His movements were not fast, and could even be said to be slow, but fortunately, the process of him getting up was relatively smooth.
However, he hadn't taken two steps when his expression became extremely distorted by pain.
Intense pain spread throughout his body, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.
"No, this beating can't be in vain!"
A light flashed in Feng Qiwu's eyes. Although it was still painful, he thought of something and even the pain was relieved a lot because of the calculation in his mind.
On the other side, Chi Yizhong went straight back to his yard to check if there were any clues he had overlooked.
He didn't hold out hope, but he actually discovered something different.
There were traces of dragging at the location where the statue was placed, and there were two pairs of inconspicuous footprints next to it, which looked like the footprints of a cub that had just reached adulthood.
As for the traces of being dragged, it must be that the stone statue was too heavy for them, and they inevitably had some difficulty, which left these traces.
But... who are these two cubs and why would they steal his statue at this time?
I followed the footprints out of the yard until I reached the fork in the road, where they completely disappeared.
"Don't miss a single spot. We must find the two people who broke into the tribe."
"If you can't even do this, there's no need for you to stay in the Guard."
Attracted by the voice, Chi Yizhong turned his head and saw Hua Yao saying something to a group of people with a serious expression on his face.
Chi Yizhong was not far away from them, so he heard everything they said just now.
"From what you just said, two people broke into the tribe last night?"
Hua Yao didn't hide anything when he asked, and answered truthfully, "Indeed, our guard team is not doing their job well. We haven't found the two people who broke in yet."
"I can help you catch those two people, but I need you to cooperate with me."
Hua Yao also understood his personality and knew that he was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. But now he came forward to help, maybe something had happened.
Seeing that Chi Yizhong had no intention of saying anything, Hua Yao didn't ask any more questions and agreed readily.
As for how to catch the two people who broke into the tribe, Chi Yizhong did not say directly.
After learning some relevant information, Chi Yizhong stopped talking. Before returning to the courtyard, he said something without any context: "The bet will start tomorrow. Fortunately, my statues are all finished."
"By the way, in case of any accidents, it's better to catch the two people who broke into the tribe as soon as possible."
Hua Yao was confused and opened her mouth to ask something, but after meeting Chi Yizhong's gaze, she swallowed the words back.
Looking at Chi Yizhong's departing back, Huayao fell into deep thought.
What does he mean by this?
Could it be that he was worried that those two people would cause trouble at that time and asked him to increase patrols?
Thinking of this, Huayue shook her head again and rejected the idea.
He had just promised to help him catch the two people who broke in. Maybe his words were hinting at something.
"Captain, should we continue patrolling?"
Listening to the question from the person beside him, a glint of light flashed in Huayao's narrowed eyes, but it was only fleeting. After a pause, he replied: "Patrol, and it must be a large-scale patrol."
Hua Yao took his men away, and without their voices, the yard became quiet again.
Originally, two people breaking into the tribe was not a big deal, but when people in the tribe heard that it might have an impact on the statue of the Beast God, they immediately took it seriously.
Especially when they heard that the statue had been carved, many people suggested that the guards take the statue to the Beast Temple for guarding first.
Given such importance, Chi Yizhong had no choice but to agree to let them take the statue away.
Although it was not yet nightfall, there were already many guards patrolling around the Beast God Temple.
Such a big commotion in the tribe naturally did not escape the attention of the two little guys, Chu Yue and Chu Li. They thought that the plan was foolproof, but some unexpected events occurred, which made them have some doubts.
"Sister, do you think he can really carve a statue as beautiful as this in just half a day?"
Chu Yue shook her head and said with certainty, "This is simply impossible."
"But if this isn't real, then the statue he gave to the guards must be fake?" After thinking for a moment, Chu Li said, "Or is it that the one we have isn't his sculpture, but just a fake to prevent others from destroying his real sculpture?"
"That's not right. Tomorrow is the time for the bet. He can't be that bold, right?"
Chu Li muttered to himself for a long time without hearing his sister speak. He couldn't help but push her anxiously: "Sister, it seems that the plan of forcing him to become our beastly father is not working. What should we do next?"
"He only has three days to carve it. He simply doesn't have time to create a fake one to deceive anyone." Chu Yue said this with a very firm tone. Then she added, "No need to rush. Just wait quietly."
"But if what we have is fake, we have no other way to force him to be our beastly father."
As he spoke, Chu Li glanced at the statue, paused, and then continued, "Others may not be able to do it, but he is the Beast Father. Nothing can stump him, even if he is just the Beast Father's clone."
"Sister, let's... go and take a look, just in case, just in case..."
What Chu Li said made sense. They couldn't miss this only bargaining chip. After thinking for a moment, Chu Yue nodded and agreed: "Okay, but we can't go together."
