Chapter 235 White Fox, what do you think?
Meng Qingyin tentatively asked, "Why is there such a powerful being as Night Demon in the game?"
Merchant Lear: "The Night Demons existed before you Blue Star people entered this game. The main system sealed their power, but no one knows how long this seal will last... Once the Night Demons are unsealed, I can imagine what kind of hell this place will become."
Meng Qingyin was startled. The Night Demon was sealed by the main system?
Is the seal on the Night Demon about to be broken? Is this intentional on the part of the main system, or has the seal become too weak to suppress the Night Demon any longer?
Judging from the players' current strength, once the Night Demon is unsealed, no one will be its match.
Merchant Lear: "But you don't need to worry too much. If nothing unexpected happens, the seal will last for another three years. These three years are enough for the players to grow strong enough to fight the Night Demons. By then, not only the Night Demons here, but even..."
She didn't continue the topic, "But that's none of your business. If things go well, you'll be awake by then and won't need to fear the Night Demon."
Lear finally brought up the topic of waking up!
Mengmeng suppressed her excitement, "How do you plan to wake me up? How should I cooperate with you?"
Merchant Lear: "You don't need to cooperate with me. Just stay put. Once I find... I will contact you."
Found...who?
Meng Qingyin wanted to ask, but she was afraid that asking too many questions would expose her.
In the end, she only replied with "okay".
This conversation with Lear gave her a greater sense of urgency.
Although Lear said the seal could last for three more years, what will happen first, tomorrow or an accident?
I still need to become stronger.
And who is Lear looking for?
...
In the following days, more and more players obtained the [Monkey Hunter Medal], which allows them to kill the wicked monkeys.
Qin Jiu gradually had more free time, and she devoted more time to practicing her swordsmanship.
Meng Qingyin hasn't been idle these past few days either; she's been going to Li the blacksmith's house every day to forge weapons.
Now, her attribute points have increased to 13 in Constitution, 12 in Strength, and 12 in Agility, and her Spirit has reached 370.
Heavy snow also makes it easier to control water.
Meng Qingyin also discovered that Da Xue's three skills had reached level 10, while Er Xue and San Xue were only at level 3.
It's clear that Da Xue has been working hard.
As for Erxue and Sanxue... they are more sensible than before and will no longer argue fiercely over the heavy snow.
During this time, Meng Qingyin's train was upgraded to a higher level and now has six carriages.
However, Meng Qingyin hasn't planned the new carriage yet; she'll modify it if needed in the future.
More players entered the zoo to play as animals, and the worst actor changed from Lu Cheng to another, but Zhang Yan's photo was always posted in the most prominent position, and no one could replace him.
Another much-discussed event was the sudden death of "Brother Qiang," the most notorious villain in the original 389 district, which sparked various speculations among players.
Some say he was blindly arrogant, taking on a troop of monkeys by himself, only to be defeated and eaten alive by the monkeys.
Some say it was because he acted ostentatiously and angered some powerful figure, who then secretly dealt with him.
Of course, the most widely circulated version of the story is that "Brother Qiang" was killed by Zhang Yan.
After all, "Brother Qiang" had said that he wouldn't let Zhang Yan off the hook that day, and as a result, some people discovered that his profile picture went black that day.
As a result, Zhangyan's reputation grew stronger and stronger.
However, Zhang Yan has never responded to the death of "Brother Qiang of Society".
The matter gradually faded into obscurity.
Right now, everyone's focus is on killing the wicked monkey troop, opening the monkeys' treasure chests, and collecting monkey hair.
Although Meng Qingyin has been busy forging weapons these past few days, she hasn't neglected the task of killing monkeys. She takes some time each day to help other players kill monkeys.
She has finally collected 100 monkey hairs, enough to summon a monkey!
Just as she was about to summon him, Master Monel sent her a message.
Beast Tamer Mon'er: "I've found it! I know where the Gluttonous Soul came from!"
Meng Qingyin already knew that it was the white fox who did it, but she was also curious about how the white fox managed to do it.
Beast Tamer Moner: "According to ancient records, the White Fox Clan is naturally sensitive to spirits. Some White Foxes can even directly control spirits! I suspect that when the last Taotie died, a White Fox extracted its soul and nourished it with its own energy. For some reason, when you made a contract with that divine beast, the Taotie's soul became parasitic, and you completed the contract with the Taotie."
Mengmeng: "How does the white fox nourish the soul of the Taotie?"
Beastmaster Monel: "The souls of all things need to be nourished by energy, but the soul of the Taotie is stronger than any other soul, and therefore consumes more energy. This white fox must be no ordinary creature either."
Meng Qingyin remembered that the white fox had said that its eyes could no longer return to their original color due to overuse of its abilities.
Could it be... that it overused its abilities because it was nourishing the soul of the Taotie?
What is the connection between the white fox and her that made it go to such lengths for her?
Beast Tamer Mon: "In summary, through a series of coincidences, you contracted a Taotie, which gave you a huge advantage that you'd be laughing in your sleep."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
That sounds so cheap.
Beast Tamer Moner: "Alright, the investigation into the Taotie matter is complete. Next, I need to investigate something very important. You and your five dim-witted friends, don't bother me."
Meng Qingyin: "..." She was truly impressed.
How can someone speak so rudely?
Mengmeng: "...What if we have any questions about animal training?"
Animal trainer Monel: "What did you do when you didn't know me? Now that you know me, has your brain function deteriorated?"
Meng Qingyin: "..." Fine, fine, you're just too sharp-tongued. Sooner or later, you'll lick your lips and poison yourself to death.
Mengmeng: "You're busy."
After politely replying with two words, Meng Qingyin closed the chat window with Master Meng.
Just then, a "ding-dong" sound came from the management group.
[Hyena: I've been following the Taotie story lately. Moner said a white fox extracted and nourished the Taotie's spirit, releasing it onto a divine beast egg during a player's contract process, allowing the Taotie to complete the contract with that player. Although he said it was a coincidence, I don't believe in coincidences. White Fox, what do you think?]
Meng Qingyin's heart skipped a beat. Had the hyena become suspicious?
The white fox warned her to be wary of the hyenas. Could it be because the two of them didn't get along?
Or are these animals also divided into factions, just like the system itself? The white fox and the hyena belong to different factions?
