Looking at the wolf-headed bat nailed to the tree trunk, Fei Tianyuan was furious. He didn't care about the stench coming from the wolf-headed bat's corpse. He carefully took the wolf-headed bat off the tree trunk, hugged it in his arms and shouted: "Sixth brother, you died so tragically! Big brother will never let the murderer go!"
"Hey~Brother Yuan, my condolences. Actually, I wanted to bury Brother Bat yesterday, but my strength was too low to shake this flying sword." Zhang Jingxuan came forward and said.
"You are thoughtful!" Fei Tianyuan nodded. Judging from the degree of decay of the wolf-headed bat, it was probably killed at least half a month ago. The people in front of him were indeed not very suspicious. If it was really related to them, they would not have revealed the murder of the wolf-headed bat to him. As for the matter of the sound transmission stone, any excuse he made up would be much better than this.
Then, the flying ape seemed to remember something and asked everyone, "Besides my sixth brother, have you found any other abnormalities?" It couldn't bear to say the word "corpse" and used "abnormality" instead.
Everyone understood what it meant and shook their heads, saying, "No, we didn't even see a single living monster!"
The flying ape was startled. On its way here, it did not find any trace of other monsters. Even if there were few monsters in the core area of the Dark Forest, it would not be so sparse!
Thinking of this, it quickly took out the voice stone to contact other monster leaders, but there was still no response.
"Who is this big shot you just mentioned?" The flying ape thought of the big shot Zhang Jingxuan had just mentioned, and it vaguely felt that this matter might be related to that person.
Everyone felt a little uneasy when they saw this. Bai Ziling rolled his eyes and said to Fei Tianyuan, "Senior, we haven't seen that person either. We only heard about this from the people who organized this competition. We were tricked into coming here by them. How about you come with us? When the competition is over, that big shot will show up!"
The flying ape pondered for a moment. Judging from the current situation, the situation in the Dark Forest is not optimistic and it is very likely that it has been controlled by humans.
As for the Demon Saint, other demon beasts did not know about the Demon Saint's situation, but it knew some inside information. More than a hundred years ago, it was serving the Demon Saint.
Late one night, when it was massaging the Demon Saint's feet, the Demon Saint suddenly said to it: "Xiaodong, you have been with me for more than a hundred years, right? Haha, when I picked you up, you were like a little monkey, I didn't expect you to grow up so big in the blink of an eye!" The Flying Ape was named Wudong, which was the name given to it by the Demon Saint.
"Hehe, Lord Demon Saint, it is my honor to be by your side. I will serve you all my life!" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"Haha, it's good that you have this intention. You are already grown up, and it's time for you to leave and develop on your own. What future do you have if you keep following an old man like me?" The Demon Saint laughed.
"Master Demon Saint, are you going to chase me away?" Wu Dong was very anxious.
The demon saint took a deep breath and said, "Xiaodong, you have to understand that even a true immortal will eventually die. I am already 100,000 years old! I have reached the limit of the lifespan of a scattered immortal!"
"Ah? Lord Demon Saint, you...you..." Wu Dong was shocked.
"I'm just worried that after I'm gone, those humans will have no scruples and kill all of my demon clan! Alas, God is determined to destroy my demon clan. After so many years, there isn't even a descendant who has reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage!" The Demon Saint sighed deeply.
Wu Dong looked at the Demon Saint who still cared about the demon race, tears kept flowing down his face, and said, "Master Demon Saint, don't worry, I will guard your tomb for the rest of my life after you pass away!"
The demon saint knocked Wu Dong on the head and said unhappily, "What are you thinking about? Who said I'm going to die?
Wu Dong was confused and asked, "Didn't you just say that your life span was coming to an end? And you also said something about leaving..."
The demon saint didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Can't I break through the Loose Immortal and become a Celestial Immortal?"
“But… but you are already a wandering immortal, how can you still break through?” Wu Dong was even more puzzled. As everyone knows, when a cultivator or a monster in the tribulation period passes the immortal tribulation, if they succeed, they will ascend to become an immortal or a true immortal. If they fail, they will die. However, a very small number of those who are lucky enough to survive will become wandering immortals. Wandering immortals cannot even pass the immortal tribulation. Although their realm and strength are almost the same as those of true immortals, they have no possibility of making further progress. After enduring a lifespan of 100,000 years, they will only have one way to go, which is death.
The demon saint seemed to be lost in memories of who knows how far back, and did not answer Wu Dong. After a long time, the demon saint came back to his senses and said to Wu Dong: "You can leave tomorrow! I want to be in seclusion!"
Wu Dong nodded, but did not continue asking. Having followed the Demon Saint for so many years, he naturally knew that there were some things he could not ask about.
Before Wu Dong left, the demon saint stopped him and said, "Don't tell anyone what I told you tonight!"
Wu Dong nodded upon hearing this, saluted the Demon Saint again, then turned and left. He never saw the Demon Saint again. Afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, he never mentioned to any other demon beast that he had served the Demon Saint. Later, relying on his own strength, he became the leader of a group in the core of the Dark Forest, which is the area where he is now.
Although nothing strange has happened in the Dark Forest over the past hundred years, it means that the Demon Saint has not left yet. However, the Demon Saint is in a state of death, and he will die if he fails. Therefore, no matter what happens in the Dark Forest, the Demon Saint will not interfere.
Thinking of this, Wu Dong first dug a deep earth pit and buried the wolf-headed bat's body in it, then said to everyone: "I will follow you from now on. I want to see if it is you humans who are causing trouble!"
Everyone smiled bitterly. Why did they bring up racial conflicts? However, at this time, no one dared to argue with Wu Dong.
Bai Ziling nodded and said, "That's great!"
Bai Ziling had thought it over again and again before inviting Wu Dong to join them. This trip to the Dark Forest was full of tricks, and they seemed to be caught in a huge conspiracy. Wu Dong was a local monster. He was powerful but not rude. With him around, they would be a little less passive.
Wu Dong naturally guessed Bai Ziling's little trick. After all, he had lived for more than three hundred years, and had been with the Demon Saint for the first two hundred years, receiving his enlightenment. If he didn't have this kind of thought, his life would have been in vain. However, he was indeed eager to find out what happened in the Dark Forest. Therefore, the two parties were using each other, and it was a win-win situation.
