The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 120 The clue in Meng Xiu's mouth

"We are not the one you are looking for." After a long silence, Dance in the Rain said.

"Do you think I will believe it?" The young man obviously didn't believe his rhetoric, and snorted coldly, "Who else but you?! I found this place by smelling it, let alone smelling it. The taste of Sansan!"

"San San? Who is San San?" His words stunned everyone, Zhou Liang asked, "You said we killed your parents, why do you think it was us?"

"Sansan is my good friend, he is an ear mouse, and he was captured by you scum!" The boy became excited again, and said while struggling, "I still said it wasn't you, and it wasn't you who brought humans together!" Who else could it be!?"

After hearing his words, everyone looked at each other, Yue Bing thought for a while, got up and walked towards his tent, while Yuan Mu said, "You mean, besides humans, there are monsters among those who catch ear mice?"

"Otherwise, do you think you can find the village of the earmouse with those wastes of the human race!?" The young man said, and then roared, "If you have the ability, let me go, and we will fight in a dignified way."

Rain Dance was about to be amused by the young man. He took two steps forward and looked at the struggling young man for a while, then suddenly reached out and touched the young man's ear, and said, "We didn't kill your parents, we killed them too." Find the man who killed your parents last night."

The young man was taken aback by his sudden movement, and then his face turned red. He didn't know whether it was Wu Zhongwu who used tricks or the ears were the weak point of the young man. The young man didn't have any strength to struggle, so he could only pull His voice told him to let go.

At this moment, Yue Bing came out of the tent holding an object wrapped in white silk and satin, Yu Zhongwu raised an eyebrow, let go of the hand touching the boy's ear, and stepped back.

"What do you want to do?" The young man looked warily at Yue Bing who was walking towards him, and asked, "I will never be driven by you! Don't even try to get my demon pill."

"What do we want your demon pill for? Playing with marbles?" Chacha sneered, "Here, didn't you say you smelled an ear mouse? Look, is it this ear mouse? !"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Bing handed the bandaged ear mouse to the boy, and asked softly, "Is this Sansan?"

"Three three! Three three!" The boy froze for a moment when he saw the eared mouse, and then began to scream, but after seeing that it didn't respond, he began to roar: "What did you do to it!? Damn it ! Let me go! Three three!"

"It just fainted, and there's nothing serious about it." Seeing that he had confirmed the identity of the ear mouse, Yue Bing took a step back and walked towards Yuan Mu with the ear mouse in his arms.

"Three three! Three three!" However, the young man didn't listen to her at all, and just kept calling the ear mouse's name.

Dance in the Rain was a little annoyed by the constant shouting, so she yelled, "Shut up!"

But it was obvious that the young man's attention was not on him at all. Yu Zhongwu couldn't bear it anymore and made a prototype on the spot, circling and flying into the air, and roared at the young man. The young man who had never seen such a scene looked at Ying Long hovering in front of him, and immediately closed his mouth.

The dragon is the head of all monsters, and when he speaks, all the monsters must stop and listen to his voice.

"Do you know me?" Yu Zhongwu stood in front of the boy, lowered her head and asked.

The young man didn't answer, obviously he hadn't recovered from the shock just now, he just nodded his head, expressing that he saw clearly the real body of Wu Zhongwu just now.

Seeing that the young man recognized his prototype, Master Ying Long expressed his satisfaction. He took a few steps forward, looked at the young man and said word by word: "Shut up now, I will ask Bai Ze to let you go, let me ask you a question. Answer one sentence, don't bark, don't cry, don't try to hurt people, don't run, just nod when you understand."

The young man looked into his eyes and nodded dully. Seeing this, Yu Zhongwu turned his head and glanced at Yuan Mu. The latter waved his hand knowingly. In an instant, the restraint that originally bound the young man disappeared, and the young man immediately collapsed on the ground. .

"Your parents, are they the two Meng Ji who blew themselves up and died last night?" Yu Zhongwu looked at the boy and asked.

"Yes." The boy nodded and confirmed.

"You weren't there at the time, you came here because you smelled us, right?" Dance in the Rain asked again.

"Yes." The boy still nodded, and then added, "When I arrived, there was nothing left, I could only feel the breath of my parents, but I knew they were dead..." said Then, wept softly.

Seeing this, Yue Bing handed the ear mouse to Yuan Mu, then went forward, knelt down and stroked the boy's hair, comforting him, "Don't be sad."

Dance in the Rain didn't respond at all, and continued to ask, "What happened to that ear mouse?"

"Sansan and I are good friends. Compared with our Meng Ji, the practice of ear mice is much slower. When I was young, I once rescued Sansan from a trap dug by a human, and later he brought me back to their clan. In the village, the ear mouse clan has always lived together. Their patriarch thanked me and gave me a lot of things. I took them back and showed them to my parents. The three became good friends."

"But some time ago, a group of humans came from nowhere. They set traps and traps everywhere on the mountain. At the beginning, we thought they were just here to hunt and laughed at them.

It was later discovered that those traps were specially made to catch monsters, but there were only a few kinds of monsters on Danxun Mountain, so everyone hid in fear. Because of me, my parents and I followed The ear mice hid.But somehow they found our hiding place anyway. "

As he said that, the boy's voice became choked up: "Last night, they rushed into the hiding place of the ear mice and hunted the ear mice and other monsters everywhere. My parents and the patriarch of the ear mouse clan tried to lure They fought with them, and I escaped with Sansan in the chaos. When I settled down and went back to look for Sansan, there was no one there. I followed the smell of my parents to find it, but found They've..."

"That's why you came to look for us because of the smell?" Yuan Mu nodded knowingly after listening, "That's why we picked up that ear mouse, presumably it was when he came to look for you after he found out that you were missing Caught in a bear trap."

"It's all my fault, but my father and mother's hatred..." The young man couldn't continue speaking.

"This has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame it, you have to blame the group of respectable but despicable old immortals in the Daomen." Chacha looked cold, "There is nothing wrong with the demon core and consciousness of the ear mouse, it may be because of the fright. He fainted until now he hasn’t woken up, we have bandaged him, and he will wake up after a while.”

"Really?!" The young man asked after hearing this.

"Why lie to you?" Chacha said, turning her head to look at Yuan Mu, "I can't sleep anyway, why don't we go back and have a look?"

When Chacha said to go back, she naturally meant going back to the place where they saw the monster blew up the inner alchemy last night, that is, the place where the boy smelled them.

"What's your name?" Yuan Mu nodded, looked at the boy and asked.

"My name is... my name is Mengxiu." The boy hesitated for a while before replying.

"Mengxiu...is a good name." Yuan Mu nodded and asked, "If I take you back to the place where you found us yesterday, if you smell it carefully, can you still smell other people?"

The reason why Yuan Mu asked this is because Meng Ji is very good at lurking. Such monsters, especially those who look like cats, generally have a very good sense of smell. This is because the boy can find them only by the smell they left on the scene at that time. Look, it's on full display.

"It should be... okay." The young man was not sure.

"Whether it works or not, you will only know if you try it." Zhou Liang, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke at this time. He looked around the crowd, and then said, "According to Meng Xiu, they may have been staring at Ear mouse."

"Yes, do you still remember what the proprietress of the hotel told us before we went up the mountain? She said that before us, there were two groups of people going up the mountain, one of which was temporary on the night when we discovered acid and eyes. Decided to go up the mountain."

After Yuan Mu finished speaking, he sneered: "And on the first night we went up the mountain, this kind of thing happened. Even Lu Fu called to say that someone broke into the door. I said it was a coincidence. I don't believe it anyway. .”

"Do you still remember the traces of internal fighting we saw during the day today?" Yue Bing also came over at this time, "Such a tragic way, even a fight between a Taoist sect and a monster can't do it, it is clearly to be done. There is no way to kill any vitality of cultivators, although it is not new to say that infighting within the sect, but the way of heaven is always fair, what is it that makes them do such a murderous thing?"

"There is one last point. Ear mice have lived on Danxun Mountain for generations, and are blessed by the mountain god. They don't often go to the mortal world. It is impossible for ordinary mortals to know about them. Even if they do, even I have to spend so much effort Danxun Mountain, how did they know about it?"

"It's useless to say these things now. Anyway, let's go to that place first and have a look before we talk about it." In the end, Zhou Liang spoke and determined the next course of action for the group of people.

After hearing this, everyone felt that what Zhou Liang said was right. No one could answer these questions now. The only hope of finding the answer was to find those people who wanted to catch ear mice on Danxun Mountain. It's just...

Yuan Mu looked at the direction deep in the woods and couldn't help but sighed.

Everyone has forgotten that besides those things that happened that night, Yang Yang also saw a very large snake body. They thought it was a mountain god before, but if the mountain god of Danxun Mountain could come to visit Yang Yang, why wouldn't he go? What about sheltering those ear mice?
