Chapter 2034: Human-faced Ape
(4, 0);
Next, while Lin Yue was searching for the stream, he was also paying attention to the surrounding situation. If the afterimage that just flashed by appeared, he would be able to react quickly. Google search
But after an incense stick of time had passed, Lin Yue had searched the entire stream but found nothing.
Not only that, the afterimage that flashed by before seemed to be Lin Yue’s illusion and never appeared again.
"…It's a bit strange."
Although he did not find any suspicious points, Lin Yue was more convinced that there was definitely something wrong with this place, but he just couldn't find it for the time being.
Just as he was about to return to the place where he had agreed to meet Qing Bingying, a shrill scream suddenly came from the woods in the distance!
“Aaaah!”
Lin Yue's expression changed and he quickly quickened his pace to meet Qing Bingying who had just emerged from the jungle nearby.
"Friend Lin, did you hear that scream just now?"
There was a trace of panic on Qing Bingying's face, and she was obviously attracted by the voice.
"Um."
Lin Yue responded in a deep voice, and without saying anything else, he rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
Seeing this, Qing Bingying did not ask any questions, but followed Lin Yue silently.
After a while, Lin Yue and Qing Bingying arrived at that place. There were already quite a few people gathered nearby, chattering about something.
When they saw Lin Yue, they nodded respectfully and made room for him.
So Lin Yue quickly saw what was surrounded by everyone?
A terrified female immortal collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear. There were a few tear marks in the corners of her eyes, and she looked very haggard.
"What happened here?" Lin Yue asked with a frown.
He knew that as an immortal, he would not be frightened into such a miserable state by something ordinary.
An old immortal who was standing next to Lin Yue heard Lin Yue's question and gave an uncertain answer.
“Fellow Daoist Lord, I didn’t see what happened here with my own eyes, but after I came here, I heard from everyone that it was because the companion of that female Daoist disappeared inexplicably…”
"Hmm? Missing..."
Lin Yue was stunned when he heard this. If he was missing, this person wouldn’t be so scared.
When the old man saw Lin Yue’s expression, he immediately understood the reason for his confusion and quickly explained.
"I didn't explain it clearly. The companion of that female Taoist friend disappeared, but his face appeared on a monkey-like creature. The female Taoist friend was frightened when she saw the monkey..."
After hearing this answer, Lin Yue finally figured out what had just happened.
Monkey... ?
A thought flashed through Lin Yue's mind. Could the afterimage that he had inadvertently noticed in the stream before be the monkey that the female immortal saw?
But the distance between the stream and here is not close. The time interval between him seeing the afterimage and the female immortal's exclamation was only about an incense stick. Unless the monkey came all the way here with a purpose, it would be difficult for it to appear here.
Could it be that there is more than one monkey like that in this oasis?
This idea suddenly flashed through Lin Yue's mind.
"Friend Lin, what exactly happened?"
Qing Bingying also squeezed into the crowd and came to Lin Yue's side and asked him in a low voice.
"My dear fellow Taoist, I will take my leave now."
Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly, gave up his seat, turned around and left.
Qing Bingying didn't know what was going on. She just stood in the old man's original position with confusion. After seeing the state of the female immortal, she showed a look of surprise.
"this……"
Lin Yue repeated what the old man had said to him before, and Qing Bingying's face turned pale after hearing it.
"The face of a missing person appeared on the body of a monkey. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing..."
Lin Yue nodded calmly. At this time, more and more people gathered around. Almost everyone came over after hearing the scream.
After all, they are in this strange space, and any bit of information is enough to become a clue.
At this moment, Luo Yao hurried over. After noticing the situation of the female immortal, he began to talk to several people around him to understand the situation. His expression became surprised and confused.
Suddenly he noticed Lin Yue's figure and walked over through the crowd.
"Fellow Daoist God, what do you think about this matter?" Luo Yao asked Lin Yue with a sad face.
We had just killed that terrifying monster, and before we had any time to rest, this kind of thing happened again...
"I……?"
Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"There are too few clues. All I know is that there is an ape with a human face, and I can't figure out what's going on."
After hearing this answer, Luo Yao was obviously stunned and then quickly spoke.
“Oh? It seems that you, my friend, only know one side of the story. It’s not just a problem with that monkey…!”
(5,0);
It turned out that what the old man had just said was only the first version that was circulated among the crowd. There was another version that was directly related to the female immortal herself.
After Luo Yao learned from many sources, he found out that the main reason why the female immortal was frightened like this was that her consciousness was trapped in an illusion.
Although only a short period of time had passed in the outside world, she had been trapped in that illusion for hundreds of days. After finally leaving there, she found that her companion had turned into a monkey...
That’s right, Luo Yao also has two versions about the monkey.
The first one was what Lin Yue heard from the old man, that the face of the missing person appeared on the body of a monkey.
Another version is that the man did not disappear, but his body turned into a monkey.
Because these were only the one-sided words of the female immortal, everyone was unable to determine the true situation and could only make inferences based on what she described.
After listening to Luo Yao's explanation, Lin Yue and Qing Bingying suddenly understood.
"It turns out to be like this..." Qing Bingying opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Lin Yue on the side felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he looked at Luo Yao and said.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, I suggest that we find the monkey first. As for whether the fellow Daoist is missing or has turned into a monkey, we will know the answer after we find him."
"I see. I thought so too."
After hearing Lin Yue's proposal, Luo Yao nodded, and then immediately asked the crowd to disperse and search for the monkey in the jungle, leaving only a few people to take care of the female immortal who was still lying on the ground.
The illusion that the female immortal had fallen into previously caused tremendous damage to her spirit. In addition, her soul was in a weak state after she escaped from it, and she suffered a shock, so she couldn't recover for a while.
