On Cangsai Mountain.

Seeing the Monkey King's figure quickly disappearing into the night, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.

He was already prepared to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the Monkey King, who had a slight advantage, turned around and ran away.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen could only think of one answer - that is, the Monkey King was too cautious. He saw that he was more powerful than he thought, so he did not dare to stay and fight.

Recalling the entire battle with the Monkey King in his mind, Jiang Chen felt confused.

"Judging from previous battles, although this monkey king is extremely powerful, it doesn't seem to have much combat experience."

"Could it be that it has just been promoted to the earth level recently?"

"It doesn't look like it. Its combat experience doesn't even seem to be as good as the previous Xiaobai."

Jiang Chen remembered that Xiaobai had never mentioned that there were earthly monsters on Cangsai Mountain before.

"It seems that this guy either came here from other places; or his strength suddenly increased greatly in a short period of time, jumping directly from a low level to a high level."

"However, obviously the former is more likely."

While he was deep in thought, Jiang Chen accidentally saw Xiao Liu and Luan Xiaoqing lying next to the tent. Only then did he realize that he had actually forgotten about these two guys.

Quickly putting away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Jiang Chen hurried to the two of them. After his treatment, Xiao Liu and Luan Xiaoqing quickly opened their eyes.

"Brother Jiang Chen, have you subdued that guy?" This was the first sentence out of Xiao Liu's mouth after he opened his eyes.

Jiang Chen helped the two of them up from the cold ground, shook his head slowly and said.

"No, it ran away."

"oh!"

Xiao Liu nodded slightly and then asked quickly.

"Brother Jiang Chen, is that...that thing really not a female ghost?"

"Its slender body, its blood-red eyes, and its weird whereabouts, why do I feel that it is similar to the legendary Yin spirit?"

After listening to Xiao Liu's inquiry, Jiang Chen did not answer immediately, but casually waved his hand towards the tent behind him.

The next moment.

There was a strange noise inside the tent, and then a deer and a pheasant scrambled out of the tent and quickly disappeared into the night.

Watching the two little animals go away, Jiang Chen turned around and explained to Xiao Liu and the others.

"It's not a female ghost, it's really just a spirit."

"The opponent is a monkey king. Because of its successful cultivation, its body shape is somewhat similar to that of humans. In addition, its body is thin and small, so it was mistaken for a female ghost by those people."

After listening to Jiang Chen's explanation, Xiao Liu and Luan Xiaoqing found it unbelievable, but finally chose to believe it.

“So it’s really a monster?!”

"Brother Jiang Chen, when did you find out?"

Judging from what Xiao Liu said, it seemed that he had already heard from Jiang Chen about the identity of the murderer behind the scenes?

The answer to this question is of course yes. If Jiang Chen had not greeted them in advance, the two of them would not have teamed up with Jiang Chen to act out and pretend to eat game.

"Actually, I wasn't sure before. I just had some doubts at the time."

Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Liu and the two of them and asked.

"Do you still remember those little animals we met on the mountain during the day?"

"Logically speaking, it is normal to encounter small animals in the mountains. There is nothing strange about it. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

"However, later I discovered that there was a small animal following us secretly. It was normal to follow us for a short distance, but it was a little abnormal to follow us all the way."

"So I asked you to cooperate with me in a play, in order to bring out the murderer behind the scenes."

Xiao Liu suddenly realized it and said with a smile.

"The result is obvious. Your guess is right. You really led out the murderer behind the scenes."

Having said this, he suddenly showed doubts on his face again.

"Brother Jiang Chen, but I still haven't figured it out yet. If you let us act in a play and eat wild game with you, what does this have to do with bringing out the murderer behind the scenes?"

Seeing that Xiao Liu didn't react for a while, Jiang Chen immediately reminded him.

"Do you still remember those people who were involved in the accident at the beginning? Think carefully about their identities."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xiao Liu became even more confused.

"Their identities? How do I know the identities of those people?"

"I heard them say that those people went to the mountains to hunt, and then suddenly..."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Liu suddenly paused. He seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"He...they..."

"Brother Jiang Chen, you don't mean to say that the spirit killed those people just because they...poached, right?"

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

"It does sound a bit unbelievable, but after eliminating all possibilities, this is the only possibility left."

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, a strange look suddenly appeared on Xiao Liu's face.

"I never expected that a joke I heard at the foot of the mountain suddenly became true."

"Who would dare to think that...the monster kills people really to protect the natural environment."

Jiang Chen nodded first, then showed a complicated expression on his face.

"Of course, protecting the natural environment is only a small aspect. Those poachers must have hunted monkeys before, which led to the monkey king's revenge."

"This is just like, if the monkey king is killing ordinary people for no reason now, we warlocks will not sit idly by and do nothing."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Liu suddenly fell silent, while Luan Xiaoqing, who had been silent next to him, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

After a while.

Xiao Liu seemed to have thought of something again and asked again.

"Brother Jiang Chen, the man who died in the village yesterday was also because of poaching?"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then turned to look at Luan Xiaoqing, who looked a little unnatural, and said to Xiao Liu.

"I think Uncle Luan should be very clear about this issue."

Xiao Liu was slightly startled, and then looked at Luan Xiaoqing full of doubts. He didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant. Why did Luan Xiaoqing know this problem?

Under the gaze of the two people, Luan Xiaoqing's face clearly showed a look of hesitation. After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"I don't know if those people were killed because of poaching, but I know that many people in the village do poach."
