Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 38 038 Monster (IV)
However, this kind of statement to the outside world is unlikely to have any effect, and the Wang family themselves know it.

Three years ago, the horse caravan that disappeared from the Wang family caravan was said to have been intercepted by monsters, but the Wang family themselves knew the real situation.

In other words, they have always been skeptical about the claim that the caravan was robbed and killed by monsters.

This time, Wang Wu directly brought them the silver they had lost, which further confirmed their suspicions.

After all, if you think about it, the monsters in this place were wiped out by the imperial court decades ago. How could they appear again in less than a hundred years and dare to kill a caravan guarded by monks?
Monsters are not like leeks. If you cut one this year, another will grow immediately next year.

Besides, the Forest of Dead Bones was not a good place even for monsters. After all, even monsters did not like to have certain things as neighbors.

There are monsters in the Dead Soul Mountain, but the monsters there basically don't come out. Even if they do appear, they are only in the deepest part of the Dead Bone Forest, which is the area connected to the Dead Soul Mountain.

As for those monsters, rather than being monsters, it would be better to say that they are...

magic.

Wang Wu and his friends live deep in the Forest of Dead Bones, but not the deepest part. However, they are actually not far from there.

If we start from the dog hole where Wang Wu lives, at his speed, it would take about three hours to reach the foot of the Dead Soul Mountain, the deepest part of the Bone Forest.

Yes, Wang Wu's cave used to belong to a dog demon, but the dog demon had long been eaten by someone from Hedong or Hexi County. Later, it had a new owner, a tiger demon, but he also died. I guess the basket is still soaking in a wine bottle of someone's family.

Monsters eat people, and people of course eat monsters too.

The transformed monster will reveal its true form after death. As long as it is not the kind that is part human and part animal, it is just a large animal and of course can be eaten.

Moreover, unlike humans who taste bad in the mouths of monsters, monsters are delicious. Even monsters themselves like to eat monsters.

The disappearance of the Wang family caravan is closely related to their compatriots, and the monsters are just the ones being blamed, although they are not completely blameless.

After all, Zhu Sanniang did kill the people who robbed the Wang family caravan.

But those boxes were definitely not moved by Zhu Sanniang. And when Wang Wu was looking for clothes in the corpse pit, he did not notice any special bones in the corpse pit.

Perhaps he really didn't notice it at that time, but if the monk hired by the Wang family really died there, it would be impossible for Zhu Sanniang not to notice it.

As a monster, it was obviously impossible for her to miss a cultivator with human elixir.

Human pills are good stuff. Even Zhu Sanniang, who used to be rich, has never eaten this stuff. If she really had eaten it, given her personality, she would definitely show it off to herself.

This matter revealed something was wrong from the beginning to the end. Even if Wang Wu had not brought the money, the Wang family had been investigating it for the past few years. But unfortunately, until Wang Wu came, they had not been able to find out anything.

The monks were nowhere to be seen, but the goods appeared in the pit. This was obviously outrageous.

Due to cost considerations, some goods will definitely not be escorted by monks, nor will they be escorted by space equipment.

But such cargo is small in itself, even a few boxes of silver ingots would not take up much space. Just let the monks use the Qiankun sleeves to pack it, and with a few escorts, they can travel light and concealed.

After Wang Wu brought the news of the silver in the pit to the Wang family, the Wang family naturally came to the conclusion quickly:

That monk is a traitor.

Even Wang Wu could guess this, let alone the Wang family.

"I heard that the monk who was in charge of escorting the caravan back then was a good friend of Miss Wang?" On the way to the corpse pit, Wang Wu rode his horse closer to Li Yuan and asked.

"Yes, they are sworn sisters." Li Yuan said, his tone was also quite emotional:
"Back when that woman was not a monk, the two of them were already sisters. They grew up together and have a very good relationship."

"Her parents were servants of the Wang family. Later, they left the Wang family and bought a shop in the city to do business. The Wang family has taken good care of them over the years."

"But later, that woman, I forgot her name. Her parents got seriously ill, about fourteen years ago? They died soon after, and the woman became a lonely person since then."

"But the Wang family has always been there to help her, so she didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Later, when she showed her talent, it was also the Wang family who helped her enter the Xuanqing Sect and become a cultivator."

"Miss Wang cannot cultivate the true way, nor is she from a true realm family like you, young man. She can only cultivate the Gangqi martial arts. However, the relationship between the two has always been very good, like that of brothers and sisters."

"Until three years ago?" Wang Wu asked.

"Until you came here and told me about the corpse pit." Li Yuan said.

"That girl is engaged to the second young master of the Wang family. The second young master of the Wang family, Miss Wang, and she grew up together. The second young master and she are childhood sweethearts."

"After what happened three years ago, the second young master lost his appetite and stayed in bed for a long time. He almost committed suicide for love."

"Fortunately, he doesn't know the news you brought to us, Young Master Wang." Li Yuan said with emotion, "Otherwise, he might get sick again."

As he listened, Wang Wu suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Wang Lan in front of him was shaking.

"Have you used the soundproofing technique?" Wang Wu looked at Li Yuan and asked.

"It's broken!" Li Yuan was shocked. But fortunately, as a warrior, Wang Lan is still very strong in heart. Uh, it should be, it should be.

All in all, it was just a small episode.

It was soon noon and the group ate something on horseback. After a short rest, the team set out again and increased their speed.

The horse under his crotch began to gallop, and its speed increased from the initial 15 kilometers per hour to 25 kilometers per hour, and was still rising gradually.

"Coming!!"

Soon, when Wang Wu saw the familiar forest, he shouted and the horse team began to speed up.

It is noon now, the time when the Yang energy is the strongest and almost the safest.

For now, everything is going as planned and there are no deviations.

Wang Wu's cavalry arrived at the target location at noon when the yang energy was at its strongest. Next, they waited for Li Yuan to finish his magic, and then a group of people entered the Forest of Dead Bones and went to the corpse pit to retrieve the Wang family's lost property.

"Something's wrong."

However, when everyone stopped and began to prepare, and Li Yuan also took out various props to make talismans, Wang Wu suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at him.

"What's wrong, Young Master Wang?" Wang Lan rode his horse to Wang Wu's side and asked. But Wang Wu ignored him and just stared at the forest ahead, as if there was something there.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked towards the forest.

Even in broad daylight at noon, the Bone Forest was still filled with an eerie atmosphere, and some white figures could be vaguely seen wandering in the woods.

Some were wandering aimlessly, while others were standing under the trees. Although I couldn't see their faces, I could feel that they were watching us.

Li Yuan also stared at that place for a while, using his magical eyes, but apart from some wandering souls and corpses, there was nothing there.

There are neither demons, nor monsters, let alone ghosts.

So, he retracted his gaze, looked at Wang Wu, whose expression became increasingly solemn, and said with a smile: "They are just some wandering souls, there is no need to be so cruel, brother..."

But at this moment, Wang Wu's face suddenly changed, and he became extremely horrified. Then, he shouted loudly: "Damn it! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Quickly! Retreat!"

"Hurry!!!! What the hell are you still standing there for!?? Go!!!!"

After saying that, Wang Wu stopped explaining and directly squeezed the horse's belly and kicked the horses of Wang Lan and Li Yuan on both sides, "Go!!!"

The horses under the three men screamed, and instantly rushed out of the team and ran away into the distance.

"Alas--"

Hehehe, haha, eh——"

At this time, not long after Wang Wu reminded them, everyone heard another voice besides Wang Wu's urging voice:
It seems like smiling but not laughing, like crying but not crying.

"Don't look back! Don't look back! Run!!!"

Wang Wu pulled the horse's mane, and the horse under him felt pain and immediately accelerated, rushing towards the direction where the crowd was coming.

After that, everyone present reacted immediately after hearing the voice. Everyone was no novice, so they naturally knew what to do.

Everyone urged their mounts to accelerate to the maximum in an instant, and followed Wang Wu to rush towards Hedong County.

Behind them, about two kilometers away, a huge human head slowly flew out from the Forest of Dead Bones.

The face of the head looked like a paper doll, bright red and white, which made people feel uneasy.

But it has a pair of human eyes, with its upper and lower eyelids flipped open as if they were violently ripped open, revealing a whole eyeball inside.

The eyeballs are pitch black, but if you look closely, you can seem to see something swimming inside.

It came out of the forest, its two black eyeballs moving left and right, and then it quickly locked onto the horse team galloping on the official road.

“Hee…ah—hee hee, hahahaha…”

It laughed and flew over there.

Demons and monsters, this is a ghost.
