Chapter 69: Chicken Thief

Where Chu Xihen and his men had fought, the trees and ground destroyed by the giant mosquito's laser quickly recovered shortly after they left.

The bodies of the people and mosquitoes on the ground also disappeared, and there was no trace of any battle left.

They quickly found He Qi mentioned in the first clue.

He Qi was wearing a pair of splints on his legs, basking in the sun on his own dam. He looked so relaxed that he didn't look like he was frightened by the snake.

"Just go and ask him if he has ever seen a snake as thick as a bucket." Chu Xihen and the others stood outside He Qi's house and did not go in.

Chu Xixie corrected him, "Brother, my name is Chu Xixie. You should call me Xixie from now on."

"Go quickly!" Chu Xihen said impatiently.

Chu Xi curled his lips miserably and went to ask for clues.

Lou Su found Chu Xihen's rare expression of emotion inexplicably adorable and couldn't help but move forward and give him a kiss on his fair face.

"Let's do business, stop flirting." Chu Xihen glared at Lou Su.

Lou Su looked innocent: "Sorry, my true feelings came out and I couldn't help myself."

Chu Xihen smiled, put his arms around his neck, and then kissed him. Lou Su wanted nothing more than to hug him and kiss him.

Ling Yao on the side just wanted Chu Xi to come out and take him away. He couldn't stay in this place for even a second!

Chu Xichi came back after their kiss ended, with a look of confusion on her face.

"What did He Qi say? Who is the next clue?" Seeing Chu Xichi coming back, Ling Yao couldn't wait to speak.

Chu Xichi stared at the panel in front of her and said, "He Qi said that he didn't see any big snakes eating trees. He just saw a tree fell when he got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. When he was absent-mindedly returning to his room, a mouse ran past his feet. He was startled and tripped over the door sill, which is why he broke his leg."

Lou Su and Ling Yao: "..."

Rumors really kill people.

Chu Xihen, who knew this would happen, was not surprised. He asked, "Is the clue broken? Did he give you any other hints?"

"Yes, let me go to the place where the big tree fell. It's just 500 meters in front of his house." Chu Xichi raised his head and looked forward. The trees in the forest were sparse, but each tree was very large. If a big tree suddenly fell, they would be able to see it from where they were.

"Let's go and take a look." Lou Su pulled Chu Xihen in front to lead the way.

Chu Xichi stared at Lou Su's hand, wishing he could chop it off.

She turned to look at Ling Yao beside her, raised her hand and said fiercely: "You, lead me away!"

Ling Yao looked at her suspiciously, "There's no blood on your hands, right?"

Chu Xixi said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you until you make the skirt for me."

Only then did Ling Yao hold her little hand and follow Lou Su and the other person.

"By the way, what kind of ability is that? Will it explode as long as it gets stained with your blood?" Ling Yao held Chu Xichen's hand without thinking much. He felt that she was Chu Xihen's sister, and naturally his sister as well.

"Curse." Chu Xixie's mind was all on Lou Su's hand, so she answered briefly and to the point. This was only because Ling Yao wanted to make a skirt for him, otherwise she would not have said more.

Ling Yao had never thought that Chu Xichi's ability was actually related to the curse. He was very curious and wanted to ask more, but he heard Chu Xichi ask: "How long have they been together? How much does my brother like him?"

"I don't know. I haven't known them for long, but I can see that Brother Chu likes Brother Lou very much. You'd better not have any impudent ideas. Be careful that Brother Chu might kill his own brother for the sake of justice." After spending some time with Chu Xichi, he could guess a little bit of her thoughts.

She must have bad intentions in asking this.

A scary and violent little Lolita who is obsessed with her brother.

"Tsk!" Chu Xi said disdainfully, "You don't understand my brother at all. He has a high tolerance for people who can stay by his side. That's not love at all."

Ling Yao didn't understand, "What does that mean?"

“What it means is that even if a dog barks at him all day long, he still thinks it is a kind of companionship and will not abandon it unless it wants to leave on its own, or it really bites him.” After Chu Xichi finished speaking, he found the place, shook off Ling Yao’s hand, and ran towards Chu Xihen.

Ling Yao was still standing there in a daze, digesting what Chu Xichi had said.

He could actually understand the feeling Chu Xichi was talking about. Sometimes he also longed for someone to accompany him all the time. If there was no one, having a dog would also be good.

Unfortunately, all I got in the end was betrayal and abandonment.

"What's wrong with Lingyao? Don't bully him all the time." Chu Xihen saw Lingyao standing motionless in the distance and thought that he was being tricked by Chu Xichen again.

Chu Xi cried out in grievance, "I didn't, brother, don't always help outsiders. In this world, I am the only one who will always be with you and will never leave you."

Chu Xihen's eyes flickered when he heard this, but he said nothing.

But Lou Su couldn't stand hearing such talk, "Little sister, if you could stay with him all the time, how could he be with me for the past two years?"

Chu Xichi said weakly, "I... I was looking for my brother, but I didn't find him, did I?"

"Why are you arguing? Aren't we here to look for clues?" Ling Yao figured it out and walked over, only to see that the three people had strange expressions on their faces.

But when he saw the fallen tree, he felt terrible!

The trunk of the tree was dragged away, leaving only half of the stump on the ground. There was nothing strange about this. What shocked Ling Yao was that the people of Big Tree Village... no, Tree God Village actually erected a monument for the big tree and even wrote an inscription!

"What kind of operation is this? Are the people in their village sane?" Ling Yao approached the stone tablet and sniffed it, then said in disdain, "It was written with chicken blood. How weird!"

"Are you sure it's chicken blood?" Chu Xihen asked.

Ling Yao nodded affirmatively. He had the ability to be protected by the four divine beasts, so his sense of smell would not be wrong.

Chu Xihen frowned, "That's a bit troublesome."

"What do you mean?" Ling Yao and Chu Xi asked in unison.

Lou Su said, "We have not seen any chickens or ducks raised in the Big Tree Village along the way. There are no small animals in the woods, and the inscription here is written in chicken blood. There is only one possibility, that the chicken is from the Beast Village."

Chu Xihen nodded. "Yes, the beasts... If the Beast God Village loses a chicken, they will definitely look for it everywhere. If they find us now..."

Before he could finish his words, a group of villagers suddenly surrounded them from all directions.

"We found them. We found the chicken thieves. They must be the ones who stole our chickens. Look, there's blood on the stone tablet!"

"You damned chicken thieves, today I must sacrifice your lives to our dead chicken god!"

The villagers looked pale and thin, but they all looked ferocious, and were waving various farm tools in their hands as weapons.

"Chicken... Chicken God?" Ling Yao's mouth twitched. She felt like these villagers were possessed by evil spirits.

At this time, a task panel appeared in front of the four people, and new content popped up on it:

Special event: The chicken god of the Beast God Village was killed, and the Beast God imposed a punishment. At this time, everyone in the Tree God Village is prohibited from using supernatural powers for one hour. A true hero should solve the problem with his fists!

Side Quest: Calm down the angry villagers of Beast God Village. Every time you kill a villager here, a clue to the curse of Beast God Village will disappear. Fists can't solve all problems!
