Chapter 17 Cutting down trees
The appearance of the fat raccoon demon made the yellow badger feel urgency. This guy had an advantage over himself from the beginning: he could only inquire about the whereabouts of the eldest young master, but he relied on his identity as a human peddler to inquire about the "monster" in the village without restraint. After only one day of the trip, he seemed to have gained a lot.
The Yellow Badger decided to hurry up.
Before leaving, the Yellow Badger hid and reported to the Snake Queen, but the Snake Queen seemed not as anxious as usual. This made the Yellow Badger feel a little worried, worried that the Snake Queen had already received some more useful news from the fat raccoon demon?
Huang Yao's mind turned... He felt that although he was not kind, he was at least a little demon with a bad heart. Even if he hated the fat raccoon, he didn't think that he would harm him in the past. But the fat raccoon was not so kind. For a little bit of a fight, the fat raccoon had framed him to death, not to mention that he dragged the fat raccoon down the mountain this time and caused him to lose two tails!
If the fat raccoon demon is in power this time, the yellow badger is already considering whether he should run away as soon as possible and take a litter of cubs to another demon king mountain to have a meal?
This is definitely not a good idea. No demon king likes to accept the rebellious little demon. He is not a talented demon genius, nor is he a noble king-grade bloodline demon...
After the report, the yellow badger found Xiaoshitou and asked the villagers where they usually went to chop wood.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhengta excitedly carried his "hunter equipment" and volunteered to lead the way, leaving the village with the Yellow Badger.
...
"Brother Huan, Brother Huan, the small valley to the west of the village is the best to burn the wood there. In the village, you usually go there to chop firewood there. And there are also some prey there, which can chop firewood and hunt." Xiao Zhengtai jumped forward and led the way.
Through forests and ridges.
The yellow badger walked along the way and felt that the scenery inexplicably became familiar. It was not until the scales in his arms heated up that he suddenly remembered.
Isn’t this the way to Baixi Village by myself a few days ago?
Isn’t the small valley in front of you the valley where I met Xiao Zhengta and Black Bear?
"How could I forget this clue!" Huang Yao slapped his forehead in annoyance.
When I went down the mountain, I first discovered the aura of the eldest young master. At that time, I was wondering why the eldest young master went down the mountain to find "face", so why did he stay in a small valley for a long time? Now it seems that the eldest young master is clearly here to chop wood for Aunt Sun!
"Brother Huan? What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhengtai looked puzzled.
"Uh, nothing." Huang Badger quickly took out his axe and pretended to be trying to chop wood. "Little stone, aren't you going to hunt? Then what, go and do it."
"Yeah." Xiao Zhengta was very excited, "I'm looking for prey nearby, but Brother Huan, don't worry, I won't go too far."
"You should go away." Huang Yao rolled his eyes secretly...but looking at Xiao Zhengtai's back jumping away with a bow and arrow, he blurted out in a strange way: "Be careful, remember to call me if you are in danger."
"I know!" Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand indifferently and gradually moved away.
The yellow badger then began to carefully look at the small valley.
The trees in the valley are thick and straight, and sticky resin flows out from the cracked bark. Xiaoshitou said that this is a tree with oily trunks, which is very resistant to burning after being split into wood strips. The yellow badger turned around the valley twice and found that some places did have traces of logging, but the broken stumps were covered by fallen leaves and shrubs. He did not find them when he first came.
There are no clues about the eldest young master, nor any signs of fighting. Except for the scales that have been slightly hot, proving that the eldest young master has been here, the Yellow Badger has not found any suspicious points...
After searching for a while, I didn't find the clue, but I saw a sneaky fat figure.
"It's you!"
"You're here too!"
When the two demons met, they were both stunned.
"Did you know the lowly badger demon?" The fat raccoon gritted his teeth.
Huang Badger's heart moved, but he was silent on the surface and sneered: "Why, I can't know if you only know, I can't? You know, I came several days earlier than you."
"Damn it!" The fat raccoon stomped his feet in anger, "Don't be proud of the lowly badger demon. Since we all know that the eldest young master was arrested here, it depends on who can find the clues about the whereabouts of the eldest young master first!"
"Sure enough..." Huang Yao rolled his eyes. He was thinking about how to get the news from the fat raccoon's mouth, but he didn't expect the idiot to say it directly.
It seems that whether the fat raccoon started with the story of the "monster" or the clues of the "mistakes", they eventually pointed to this valley. The eldest young master was indeed arrested here!
The yellow badger no longer paid attention to the fat raccoon demon, but continued to look around in the valley.
While checking, the yellow badger's head was spinning rapidly.
How powerful is the eldest young master? Nonsense, the Snake Queen has been teaching since childhood. The eldest young master is proficient in a variety of powerful magic techniques, and the Lingguo Ling is full of wine, which makes the eldest young master's demonic power extremely strong... It is no exaggeration to say that the eldest young master's combat power is stronger than the three commanders. In Snake King Mountain, only the Snake Queen can suppress him.
However, there is no trace of fighting or resistance in this small valley. What does this mean?
Did someone catch the eldest young master and try his best to clean up the traces on the scene and forge a look that he had never fought before? Huang Yao shook his head. The world outside the mountain is the world of mankind. As a cultivator, catching monsters is a legitimate and glorious act. There is no need to disguise it like this.
Is that because the enemy's cultivation is too high, is the eldest master unable to resist? This is very likely! After all, in the legend of the demon clan, there are some extremely powerful existences among the immortal cultivators, and even the demon king is not an opponent! If you really meet a master of enlightenment, the eldest master may not have any room for resistance, and it is normal that there is no trace of fighting on the spot.
Or maybe it was the eldest young master willing to be "killed" by others? Huang Yao suddenly thought of the eldest young master's greed when eating barbecue, and a series of "demon throwing" actions by the human grandma Sun in a pot of stewed chicken, and suddenly felt that this possibility was quite large...
The idea was interrupted here, after all, everything was speculation.
The yellow badger looked sideways at the fat raccoon not far away. The guy had an irritable expression on his fat face, and he was spinning in place, obviously having no idea, and it seemed that he didn't know much more than he knew.
"It seems that the villagers don't know much about the process of the monster being caught?" Huang Yao guessed.
Even the Feili Demon used a popular identity like the "neighbor village peddler", but he could not get more useful clues. It seems that it is not feasible to gain the trust of the villagers and the village chief and then get more news from them. After thinking about it, Huang Yao felt that he had only one advantage over the Feili Demon, that is, he knew the real purpose of the eldest young master coming to this valley - chopping wood!
Thinking of this, the yellow badger turned his eyes and pulled out the axe hanging around his waist.
