Tong Su's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly remembered a series of strange things she had overlooked. She grabbed the old man and asked urgently, "When did that forest next to the tribe appear?"
"A forest?" the old man repeated in surprise, then subconsciously replied, "It's only been there for about a month..."
"That towering, enormous forest only appeared a month ago?!"
The old man was startled by her excitement and said, "Yes, yes, it grew overnight, one night a month ago. We're also very surprised... Come to think of it, it seems that the tribe's people started dying there after that forest appeared. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Of course, the problem is huge!
Without saying much, she hurriedly instructed the old man to lead all the villagers to retreat in the opposite direction of the forest. Then she sent more than a dozen communications to the Heavenly Court, while she herself rushed to the forest as if her eyebrows were on fire.
The forest that suddenly appeared, the freshly turned soil, the absence of weeds, fallen leaves, birdsong, and insect chirps, the corpse with both an empty shell and signs of biting...
Each clue is like a hidden thread, stretching for miles. Once you discover a clue and peel back the disguise to analyze it, the truth can be so shocking that it will make you break out in a cold sweat!
The claims that the demon race disguised themselves as the witch race to eat people, and that the matter had been resolved, are completely false!
They say the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; she thought the pheasant demon was the mantis, and they were the orioles, but in reality—
There are still bird catchers hiding in the forest all along!
In the forest, the fox, pipa, and the three pheasant demons are searching for the remains with the people of the Xuanyuan tribe.
This is an extremely lush forest.
All the trees had lush, towering branches and leaves that blocked out the sun, making them look like centuries-old trees. The branches and leaves were so tightly packed together that they completely blocked out the sunlight, making the light in the forest exceptionally dark and blurry.
Vines and branches spread out, making the space feel cramped.
The ground was covered with half-dry, damp soil. Although there were no wild grasses or fallen leaves, the air was filled with a pungent smell, like rotting corpses.
The entire forest was gloomy and oppressive, deathly silent and eerie.
The tribesmen struggled to clear a path with their machetes. Fortunately, the three foxes were demons and extremely sensitive to smells. They quickly found many broken remains hidden among the layers of grass and trees, and the path didn't have to be too far to reach their destination.
The tribespeople looked sad as they carefully packed them into the wicker baskets and cloths they had brought, preparing to take them back.
"It's only half left again... That demon is too wicked. In order to frame the witch clan, it deliberately made the corpse so mutilated. It has no conscience at all!"
The fox frowned and sighed.
She was still young, but it was clear that she would become stunningly beautiful in the future. Back in the tribe, many young boys would blush and bring her all sorts of flowers and wild fruits.
The fox was only focused on bewitching the emperor in the future, and paid no attention to the boys' flattery.
Some people asked in bewilderment, "Why would it mutilate the corpse if it wanted to frame the demon race?"
Pipa explained, "Because both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan who have fallen into evil eat people, but their methods are different. The Demon Clan eats people by consuming their essence, blood, and vital energy, while the Witch Clan eats people by consuming their flesh and limbs."
"Oh, so what the demons ate left behind these empty shells," the man said, seemingly understanding, "while what the witches ate left behind half-eaten corpses?"
