The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 552 Identity Confirmation Successfully (2 Updates)
In the fish demon's eyes, a hint of human hatred and schadenfreude was revealed.

It seems to think that anyone bitten by it has no chance of survival. This person injured it and stole its demon core, so it will make this person pay with their life!
As a result, Ginseng Fruit just sneered and then kicked out with his other foot.

Before the fish demon's gloating could fade, it was kicked away by the ginseng fruit, and its screams grew fainter and fainter.

Then, with a thud, the fish demon was kicked back into the water.

The fish demon thought it had turned misfortune into blessing, that it would be free once it returned to the water, but little did it know that Mo Zhi had been on guard all along.

She knew the fish demon was doomed when she saw it biting the ginseng fruit.

Although she didn't know the origin of the ginseng fruit, she knew that the master valued him highly; otherwise, he wouldn't have given him the title of the chief disciple of Qingfeng Temple.

To some extent, this behavior means that Ginseng Fruit is the successor to the master's mantle.

She could not possibly offend such a person; in fact, she had to try to please him.

Watching the ginseng fruit beat up the fish demon, Mo Zhi kept a close eye on it. If the ginseng fruit was at a disadvantage, she would subtly help it.

Now that the fish demon has been knocked away, Mo Zhi naturally has to guard against its escape.

The fish demon was only happy for less than a second before Mo Zhi's whip brought it back down to earth.

"If you manage to escape right under my nose, I won't have the face to stay."

Ginseng Fruit looked at its legs. Although it wasn't injured, there were several holes in its pants that the fish demon had bitten.

If this kind of professional protective suit has even one hole, it's basically useless.

This outfit is worth 100,000 yuan, and the ginseng fruit is entirely due to Yun Ran's somewhat stingy nature.

Seeing the fish demon bound up like a dumpling again, Ginseng Fruit picked up the dagger once more.

"You ruined one of my clothes, so you should compensate me with your leather. That's reasonable, isn't it?"

If this fish demon had no sins and was merely a spirit that had become a demon, the ginseng fruit might not have harmed it.

After all, the host had explicitly forbidden it, forbidding the easy harm to innocent living beings.

Please, please let me go!

The fish demon knew that these people were truly capable and that it couldn't defeat them, so it immediately begged for mercy. Although losing its demon core had greatly diminished its cultivation, it still didn't want to die.

Ginseng Fruit brandished the dagger in his hand and sneered, "Why don't you spare the creatures you've devoured?"

When he examined the demon core earlier, he clearly saw that it was tainted with human scent, which meant that the fish demon had eaten humans.

The little paper figure cleverly moved a stone over and stuffed it into the fish demon's mouth.

"Boss, it can't talk now~"

Ginseng fruit: ...

Suddenly I realized that the little paper doll wasn't so smart after all; this fish demon doesn't even speak with its mouth.

Before it died, the fish demon couldn't understand how it had lost its life when it was just out hunting and killing its prey.

With the fish demon no longer blocking the way, the illusions created by the fish demon along the river gradually revealed their original forms.

As the fog dissipated, everyone could see clearly that the place beside the river that looked like a small hill was actually a pile of bones.

Among these skeletons were human and animal remains, and they looked extremely gruesome.

Du Jun asked with some curiosity, "This fish demon is obviously highly corrosive, and it should be able to easily digest bones, so why are there so many bones piled up here?"

Xin Fu was also curious; the bones did indeed show signs of decay. "Perhaps this fish demon doesn't like eating bones, or maybe these bones are its spoils, deliberately left behind?"

Du Jun looked at the bones, then at the fish demon that was already dead.

For some reason, I feel that this seemingly unreliable reason might actually be the real reason.

"The second person's remains are inside these skeletons!"

Looking at the mountain of bones in front of them, the people from Sihuimen also planned to come and help search, since more people would make a difference.

Before they could even roll up their sleeves, half of the little paper figures that had been surrounding them flew away.

They quickly overturned the mountain of bones and started searching inside.

People from Sihuimen: ...

So, those who came along became useless decorations; they weren't even given the chance to do manual labor.

The little paper figure quickly found the second person's remains.

Ginseng Fruit took out a talisman and placed it on the bone, then took out his phone to continue recording.

When the talisman was pasted onto the bone, it immediately emitted a dazzling light and quickly disappeared into the bone.

"Identity confirmed!"

After turning off the recording, Ginseng Fruit looked at the little paper doll: "Burn it, then clean it up."

As for the other remains, the little paper figure had already sorted them all out.

They were unable to identify the remaining human bones, but they still placed talismans on them.

If their relatives come looking for them in the future, this talisman can help them find their relatives.

After finishing, the little paper figure burned all the bones with a fire, and then packed them away separately.

"Get ready, we're going to find the third person!"

The people from Sihuimen stared intently at the talisman in Ginseng Fruit's hand. They were extremely envious of this talisman that could recognize relatives.

Du Jun had even planned to do business with Qingfeng Temple under the name of Sihuimen, since the market for talisman paper was huge.

Before leaving, Ginseng Fruit suddenly looked back in the direction they had come from.

Mo Zhi also looked over, then frowned.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Someone else has come in."

Du Jun was somewhat surprised to hear this. Sihuimen had always guarded the entrance to the Death Mountain, and over the years, very few people had entered through proper procedures.

But now, in just a few days, so many groups of people have already arrived.

Although he wasn't very skilled in Taoism, he understood human nature very well.

If there weren't enormous profits involved, these people wouldn't be doing things that risk their lives.

However, seeing the solemn expressions on Renshenguo and Xinfu's faces, Du Jun wisely refrained from asking whether these people were after Yun Ran.

A cold expression appeared on Ginseng Fruit's face: "Since you're here, then you might as well leave your lives here!"
