Chapter 95
All the villagers in this village should be victims of the three ferocious beasts, but there was a hint of cold temptation in the eyes of the black-haired man when he looked at them.
Thinking back to what the man in the black T-shirt had just said - that this black-haired man seemed to have been luring them somewhere - everything seemed to make sense.
I didn't expect that there would be people among the villagers who would turn against me.
However, as soon as Xian Mo approached, the black-haired man suddenly closed his eyes and his whole body went limp.
Su Xuan was stunned. Everyone else quickly stepped forward. Gu Shuo placed his hand on the black-haired man's forehead and spoke in a deep voice, "He's not dead, but there's no spirit in his body."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed slightly.
There is no spirit in the body of this black-haired man? ?
Suddenly, your soul left your body?
Others escaped to pee, but he escaped to the spirit? ?
Su Xuan quickly opened his spiritual sense and looked around, but he did not see the black-haired man's soul - how could he run so fast?
Yan Yue frowned and asked Yan Ning'an, "Do the people of Xiaoyang have this ability?"
Yan Ning'an shook his head seriously. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas doesn't mention it, nor does it mention that any ancient tribe had such abilities."
So what's going on?
Su Xuan pondered for a moment.
They had discussed on the way here that the three beasts' aggression against the ancient tribesmen would not be limited to absorbing spiritual energy.
If they had a bigger appetite, it would be very likely that they would directly devour the souls or even the bodies of these villagers - of course, as long as they could successfully kill the three ferocious beasts, there would still be hope for the devoured villagers to be rescued - plus some villagers would flee outside, and by the time they arrived at the village, there might not be many villagers left.
And the facts were just as they guessed.
But what if the three ferocious beasts deliberately left some of the villagers’ bodies as empty shells?
Su Xuan said slowly, "If you inject a portion of your spiritual energy into an empty shell, you can control its movements. Of course, this isn't that simple. It's just as difficult as controlling a super-spiritual body."
When Su Xuan said this, everyone understood what he meant.
Su Xuan said slowly: "But Zhu Yan can do it."
——This black-haired man is most likely controlled by Zhu Yan, or a ferocious beast as powerful as Zhu Yan, and came out to investigate them.
Several people's expressions darkened.
Then the problem arises.
If it was really as Su Xuan guessed, then Zhu Yan obviously already knew that they had entered the village.
He could have concealed this and waited for his chance.
As long as he doesn't extract his spiritual power from the black-haired man's body, Su Xuan and the others will only regard the black-haired man as a traitor and will not think about the level of spiritual power control at all.
He emptied the black-haired man's body in front of Su Xuan and the others. This was more like—
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "He is telling us that he knows very well that we have arrived here. He can even get our location at any time, but he does not intend to show up on his own initiative—"
"-If we want to find him, we have to think about where he is." Gu Shuo continued Su Xuan's words and said slowly.
The answer is obvious. Zhu Yan’s ultimate goal is the place where the “secrets” hidden in the ancient tribe are located.
Only when they unravel the secrets of the ancient tribe will they be able to find Zhu Yan.
But if Zhu Yan had already obtained the answer, would he still wait for them in this village? No, of course he would not wait, so Zhu Yan's action was nothing more than that he himself had not found what he wanted, but wanted to force Su Xuan and others to help him find it!
Zhu Yan is clearly trying to take advantage of them!
After realizing this, Su Xuan was almost laughing out of anger.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his temper, and exchanged glances with the others.
Are you dreaming of using them as tools so easily?
In an instant, information was exchanged between them and they quickly finalized a plan.
On the side, the people of Huantou country were still looking anxiously at the black-haired man lying unconscious on the ground, while the man in the black T-shirt was sitting on the ground hugging his knees and doubting his life.
Suddenly, the man in the black T-shirt felt a large shadow falling down. He looked up and saw Su Xuan and his group surrounding him. He shuddered.
Su Xuan touched his chin and said, "Just follow Yan Yue and the Monster Bureau's team."
The man in the black T-shirt was stunned. After Su Xuan finished speaking, he started chatting with Gu Shuo and the others. He stood up and said in shock: "Aren't you going to send me out first?!"
Hearing his words, Su Xuan looked at him and said, "We still have a mission to complete. We can't use the entire army to escort you. If we only send two people to take you out—there are three man-eating monsters here. Do you think those three monsters will come to us first, or eat you first?"
The man in the black T-shirt turned pale: "A monster that eats people?!"
Yan Yue adjusted his glasses and said, "Don't worry. Although we are different from those people over there and don't have spiritual power, we can still protect you."
The man in the black T-shirt felt that he had received too much information and that it would be better if he didn't have any!
He twitched his lips and asked Su Xuan: "Can I go with you..."
Su Xuan was surprised. "We're planning to go directly to find those three monsters. Yan Yue and the others are only responsible for operating on the periphery to see if there are other villagers who need help. Are you sure you want to follow us? You're so brave!"
He praised.
The brave man in the black T-shirt immediately collapsed and said, "No! I want to follow this guy with glasses. Thank you!"
The plan of separate actions was finalized. Yan Yue, the man in black T-shirt, the Huantou people and a team from the Monster Bureau searched the periphery, while Su Xuan, Gu Shuo, Yan Ning'an, Xian Mo and A Tu continued to move forward.
*
The sun gradually rose to the zenith.
The sky in the mountains is beautiful and the scenery is also great, but it's a pity that the deserted village looks eerie no matter how you look at it.
On this side, Yan Ning'an and A Tu led the way, walking cautiously in the village.
The two people were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't talk much to each other. They just paid attention to the movements on both sides.
Behind them were Xi Mo, Su Xuan and Gu Shuo. All three of them were quiet and vigilantly watching their surroundings.
After walking for a while, a burst of hurried and messy footsteps suddenly came from the front.
Yan Ningan stopped first and raised his hand to signal the three people behind him to stop as well.
When they looked closely, they saw a young man in a flowered shirt crawling towards them. He looked back from time to time as if he was running for his life.
After seeing clearly that there were five people in front of him, the man in the flowered shirt opened his eyes wide, waved his hands and shouted, "Help! Help!"
His voice was so loud that it echoed all over the street.
A-Tu threw out the spiritual chain, covered the mouth of the man in the flowered shirt, and tied him up at the same time.
The man in the flowered shirt flew to Atu's feet. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he was terrified, as if he thought Atu and the others only looked normal, but were actually a bunch of man-eating monsters.
Ah Tu was surprised and said, "The flowered shirt? Is this the man the guy in the black T-shirt mentioned entering the village with? He's still alive?"
The man in the flowered shirt felt even more helpless when he heard this, but Ah Tu's words made him realize that these people didn't seem to be bad monsters, but seemed to be the reinforcements called by the man in the black T-shirt?
So the man in the flowered shirt waved his arms, signaling A-Tu to remove the stuff stuck on his mouth, and he would definitely stop shouting.
After Ah Tu loosened the spiritual chain, the man in the flowered shirt crawled forward crying bitterly, hugged the thigh of Ah Tu, who looked the strongest among the few people, and cried, "Are you police? Did the man in the black T-shirt call the police to send you here? Wuuuu, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never come to a place like this again! There are monsters here, police uncle!"
Ah Tu touched the back of his head in confusion.
He had only been awake in this era for a day and a half, so he didn't have enough knowledge and had no idea what a policeman was.
Yan Ningan stared at the flowered shirt and asked, "Did you encounter a monster?"
The man in the flowered shirt was crying so hard his nose was running. "Yeah, me, me and the guy in the black T-shirt just ran into a black man. I really thought he was just a black man, so I followed him! But when I got closer, I realized that the black man looked wrong. He wasn't a black man at all, he was a monster! I also saw that the place he led me to had a very tall tree, and there were several other monsters sitting in the tree. It was so scary, sob, sob. I turned around and ran back. They definitely wanted to lure me over and eat me!"
The man in the flowered shirt spoke incoherently, and after hearing it, Yan Ning'an looked at A-Tu.
Behind him and Atu, the other three people looked solemn and didn't say a word.
Yan Ning'an coughed lightly and said slowly, "We just wanted to find those monsters. In that case, could you please take us to see them?"
The man in the flowered shirt widened his eyes.
"We are police officers, so of course we not only have to save good people," Xian Mo said seriously, "but we also have to arrest the bad guys."
The man in the flowered shirt sniffed and asked weakly, "But police officer, you only have a few people with you. Can you really, really deal with those monsters?"
"Of course," Yan Ning'an puffed out his chest and said calmly, "It's a piece of cake."
The man in the flowered shirt's forehead twitched slightly at Yan Ning'an's tone.
He stared at Yan Ning'an for a while, then stood up seemingly reluctantly and hid behind Ah Tu. He said pitifully, "Okay, okay, but you must protect me. I'm so scared."
The other end.
After separating from Su Xuan and the others, Yan Yue and the others circled around to see if there were any lone villagers.
The man in the black T-shirt followed closely behind Yan Yue, with his head hanging and shoulders drooping.
They were actually very close to the entrance of the village. The man in the black T-shirt looked in the direction he came in in the morning several times, thinking that why not just rush out by himself - as long as he rushed out of the village, everything would be fine, right?
But I dare not.
In the end, he could only follow this group of weirdos dejectedly, thinking in his heart that if he saw the man in the flowered shirt again, he would definitely beat that idiot up.
but……
He paused.
No one knew whether the man in the flowered shirt was dead or alive. Perhaps, like the black-haired man, his soul had been sucked out, and he was being used like a puppet by a man-eating monster...
Thinking of this, the man in the black T-shirt felt a chill down his spine.
Suddenly, a group of people stopped and someone whispered, "Someone!"
The man in the black T-shirt looked up and saw a short figure peeking out from a corner in front of him!
The man in the black T-shirt said quickly, "Wait a minute, this looks like the dwarf who just spoke to me... ahem, that Zhou Rao guy!"
The short Zhourao man seemed to be hesitating whether to come over when he saw so many of them. Yan Yue touched the Huantou man next to him with his arm.
The people of Huantou naturally understood what Yan Yue meant, and quickly waved to the people of Zhourao, chattering a few words.
It was indeed much easier to talk to my friend when he came forward.
The Zhourao people approached tentatively, and after confirming that Yan Yue and his men had no hostility, they trotted over and chattered anxiously to the Huantou people.
The people of Huantou responded with a burst of chatter, and the people of Zhourao also chattered again.
After chattering for a long time, the Zhourao man pulled the corner of the Huantou man's clothes and pointed to a tree in front of the left, twenty meters away from them.
It is an evergreen tree, and even in this late autumn, it is still green.
It stood alone in the open space, looking very ordinary. Under normal circumstances, it might not have attracted anyone's attention.
Behind Yan Yue, several employees of the Monster Bureau exchanged glances. One of them stepped forward and whispered slowly in Yan Yue's ear, "He said that's where many villagers are hiding. After the beast appeared, the Xuanyuan people, who had protected the village for thousands of years, finally appeared before them and led them into that underground hiding place. The Three-Pearl Tree is also there—and that must be what the beast wants."
The man from Huantou was shocked - even though he had previously guessed that the secret of this village was related to the Xuanyuan people, he still couldn't believe it when he actually confirmed the existence of the Xuanyuan people.
The people behind Yan Yue had thoughtful expressions on their faces - so, what is the Three Pearl Tree?
The Zhourao people pulled the Huantou people hard. He was obviously worried about their behavior of wandering around in the village and wanted them to hide underground quickly.
I'm afraid he initially talked to the black T-shirts to make them run away.
At this moment, a strange laugh suddenly sounded above them.
The man in the black T-shirt was so frightened that his scalp exploded. The people of Zhou Rao turned pale and looked up in panic. They saw a giant bird with a human face appearing from nowhere and attacking them!
He laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with greed. "Is it that tree?! Is it in the same place as that tree? But that tree is definitely not a three-bead tree. So, it's really like Zhu Yan guessed, it's underground?!"
The man in the black T-shirt fell to the ground with his legs going weak!
The people of Huantou nervously blocked the tiny people of Zhourao behind them!
Yan Yue and the staff of the Monster Bureau all raised their guns and aimed at the gliding monster!
The monster with a human face and a bird body sneered, "You don't think you can kill me with a few guns, do you? Just a few humans, I can turn you into ashes in a second!"
He flapped his wings, and a wave of spiritual power rushed towards Yan Yue and the others!
The monster with a human face and a bird body laughed loudly and flew towards the tree without looking back. However, halfway through the flight, it was suddenly knocked down from the air by a powerful spiritual power and pressed heavily to the ground, letting out a scream!
At the same time, a cloud of fog emerged from the team behind Yan Yue and slowly dispersed.
*
On the other side, the man in the flowered shirt huddled beside A-Tu, weakly guiding them the way.
After twists and turns for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.
That is the corner of the entire village, backed by a mountain wall, with a huge tree in front of the mountain wall.
The leaves have fallen, but the bare branches are not empty - they are filled with all kinds of spirits!
There are animals and people.
—— Various ancient tribal peoples, including the Fire-Yan people who look like black wolves and can breathe fire, the Three-Body people who have three bodies connected to one head, the short Zhourao people, the Guanxiong people who have a hole in their chest, and so on.
After being stripped of their bodies and impaled on tree branches like food, they were already exhausted and could not even make a sound. They only had the strength to raise their eyes to look at Yan Ningan, A Tu and the others, with despair in their eyes.
There was also a flowered shirt hanging awkwardly on the shortest branch, apparently the last one to be hung there.
When the man in the flowered shirt saw "himself" following behind A-Tu, he screamed in fright.
The next second, the man in the flowered shirt behind Atu rolled his eyes and fainted, becoming a hollow shell.
Two ferocious beasts were sitting on a tree. One of them looked like a monkey, with yellow hair all over its body and blood-red eyes and mouth. The other looked like a fox, but had something like a fish fin on its back.
A'Tu and Yan Ning'an frowned when they saw this scene, but the spirit of the flowered shirt hanging on the branch and the "flowered shirt" who suddenly fainted behind them did not surprise them.
The monkey immediately cursed, "I told you they'd already guessed I had the man in the flowered shirt under their control, and they were deliberately using our tactics to trap us!"
The fox said, "Forget it, forget it. We lured them here on purpose anyway."
Ape: "No, I'm furious. That sorcerer just said it would be a piece of cake to deal with us. It turns out he was just trying to disgust me!"
The fox said, "Forget it, they are going to die anyway."
Ah Tu stared at the two monsters and said in a deep voice, "That ape is not Zhu Yan. Although Zhu Yan looks like an ape, his hair is white and his feet are red. This ape is another kind of ferocious beast."
Yan Ningan whispered, "It's Yonghe!"
These two monsters are Yonghe and Zhunu!
The one left must be Zhu Yan, but Zhu Yan is not here!
"Are you still interested in where Zhu Yan is?" Yong He stood up. "Split into two teams. The most powerful ones will come towards us, while the most common humans will hang around on the periphery. Isn't this so that the powerful ones can hold us back, while the other group searches for the villagers who have hidden themselves?"
"You think we can't guess your plans? We're just cooperating with you!" Yong He sneered. "Those villagers scurrying around like insects are really good at hiding. They won't come near us at all. We might as well just wait for them to find you and save us the trouble of torture."
"But you're really too brave, aren't you? Even someone with spiritual power wouldn't follow those humans," Yong He said, curling his lips and laughing softly. "But it's also good. You can't escape anyway, and that side can be resolved in a second. Everything is OK, good luck."
His tone was melodious, and he jumped down with Zhu Nu.
As soon as they landed, they felt a powerful barrier set up around them.
Yonghe and Zhu Nuo paused and narrowed their eyes.
Zhu Nuo spoke softly, "Do you think you can trap us with just the barrier?"
"No, we don't think this barrier can trap you, but it will be enough to hold you over for a while." Yan Ning'an said calmly. At the same time, the three people behind him were shrouded in mist.
Zhu Nuo and Yong He were stunned. When the fog dissipated, Su Xuan, Gu Shuo and Xian Mo behind Yan Ning'an all turned into three uniformed employees of the Monster Bureau. The two ferocious beasts' faces changed.
"Who said all the powerful ones are here to find you? What I want to say is, do you really think we can't guess your plan and will just feed Yan Yue and his gang to you so easily?" Yan Ning'an said slowly, "You think a group of humans are easy to deal with, so you only sent one ferocious beast over there, but we have placed our three most powerful people there - so you are right, the problem over there will indeed be solved soon, and we just need to keep this barrier open until Mr. Su and the others arrive!"
At the same time, in another part of the village.
The mist behind Yan Yue appeared out of thin air and was slowly blown away by the wind.
The monster with a human face and a bird body was pinned to the ground, staring with bloodshot eyes at three ordinary employees of the Monster Bureau who turned into Su Xuan, Gu Shuo and Xian Mo.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You—"
They fell into a trap!
Su Xuan twisted his wrist and stared at the monster, saying, "Is this Xiao Yao?"
Is Zhu Yan on Yan Ningan's side?
