Chapter 295 Monster!

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning flicked her on the head with a flick of her wrist.

"At a time like this, you still have the mood to joke around. Your injuries don't look quite right."

The main issue is that the smell around the wound isn't right.

It's quite rare to see someone take a pill and still not see any improvement in their injuries.

However, while the external injuries hadn't healed, the internal injuries were healing incredibly quickly...

The more Song Wanning looked at it, the more curious she became, and she grew increasingly interested in the monster.

Li Ruo held her head and blinked, completely forgetting that she was injured.

It seemed that as long as her master was around, she felt very secure and at ease.

Looking down at the wounds on her body, she frowned. "These were caused by the monster dragging me. It was too small, and it had to find a way to hold me along the way."

It could be said that the monster dragged her all the way back.

She then recalled the situation at that time.

"During this time, I practiced a new technique and was planning to travel around and find an opportunity to practice. Who knew that when I got to the city gate, I suddenly discovered that monster."

"I immediately sent a message to you, Master, and was about to follow it when I discovered it was trying to grab a child..."

Li Ruo's expression turned extremely grave. "If I don't intervene, that child will definitely be in danger, because that child is just an ordinary mortal."

Even cultivators might not be a match for that monster, let alone mortals.

Presumably, the child was lost during the dragging process.

So even though she knew it was dangerous, she still rushed forward, but she didn't expect it would cause trouble for her master.

Li Ruo lowered her head, her heart filled with guilt.

“Master, I’m sorry. You taught me before not to blindly show kindness, but to protect myself first. I remembered all of that… but when I saw that child, I didn’t have time to think at all…”

"I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for Master..."

She had no power to protect herself, yet she almost lost her life trying to save others, and in the end, her master had to come to her rescue.

If even Master is no match for that monster, wouldn't that mean Master would be killed as well?
Li Ruo felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it.

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning lowered her head and looked at Li Ruo. After a long silence, she suddenly sighed.

Everyone has their own characteristics and their own choices.

You cannot force others to make the same choices based on your own experiences.

Wasn't it because of Li Ruo's kindness and help that she had the opportunity to escape?
Thinking of this, Song Wanning smiled and patted her head.

"You understand the principles, so then focus on your cultivation. Once your cultivation level is high enough, you can avoid any danger."

Instead of lecturing or criticizing, she encouraged Li Ruo to cultivate herself diligently.

Li Ruo raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Song Wanning. After a long while, she finally smiled sweetly and nodded heavily.

Song Wanning knew that she had taken her words to heart, so she didn't dwell on the matter anymore.

Her gaze fell upon the cave, especially the wall where Li Ruo was nailed, nothing escaped her eyes.

His eyes suddenly darkened, and he swung his longsword straight at the wall.

The massive impact caused the wall to collapse with a crash.

The rocks collapsed, revealing a spacious hole.

"vomit-"

Li Ruo started gagging almost as soon as the wall collapsed.

Because behind the wall was an extremely foul odor, like the smell of something rotting.

Song Wanning's face darkened, and she quickly flew up. When she saw the situation inside the cave, her heart tightened.

Because the cave was full of all kinds of hearts.

There are animals, and even more so, human hearts.

Countless hearts lay stacked on top of each other, their blood long since dried, leaving only a large patch of dark red.

These hearts have been there for a long time, and many of them have already rotted.

Beneath these hearts, many have already weathered away...

"Hiss, sister, how many people and monsters must this have killed?" The golden sword stared in astonishment. It had initially thought it was just an ordinary monster, but now it seemed to be an evil creature!

"But why didn't the monster eat its heart? Why did it leave it here?"

Its eyes were full of confusion, and it felt that the monster's actions were somewhat contradictory.

Song Wanning was equally puzzled. She flew down, blocked her sense of smell, and began to search carefully.

She didn't touch these things; she simply used her spiritual power to search through them remotely, clearing away all the hearts, and then burned them clean with a blazing talisman.

It took almost half an hour just to clean up the burning.

Once everything was emptied, she searched carefully again, turning the entire cave upside down, but found nothing unusual.

"Perhaps that monster is an oddball with a hoarding fetish?"

Golden Little Sword curled his lip; this monster has really strange tastes.

"Let me look around some more."

Song Wanning was a little uneasy; she felt it couldn't be that simple.

But she turned almost the entire mine upside down and didn't see anything unusual.

The monster from before had also vanished without a trace. She released her divine sense and searched the surrounding area for miles, but found nothing.

Helpless, she could only leave with Li Ruo.

After returning to the Song family, Song Wanning still felt uneasy and told Song Qingyun about the matter, asking him to send someone to keep an eye out for the monster's whereabouts.

After all, it is an evil creature that specifically targets people's hearts, making it extremely harmful.

Once discovered, it must be reported immediately.

After explaining the matter, Song Wanning took Li Ruo back to the courtyard.

The clone had already avoided appearing before Li Ruo.

Song Wanning led Li Ruo into the training room, wanting to study the scars on Li Ruo's body further.

The lingering scent of the wound can't be removed, and I don't know if it will cause any harm.

Li Ruo obediently followed behind her master, glancing up at the training room.

The practice room was very simple. Apart from a tea table, there was only a futon placed alone in the center.

Master is a person who is diligent in cultivation but does not like to enjoy pleasure.

Song Wanning took out a stool and beckoned Li Ruo to sit down.

Li Ruo nodded, but as she passed the coffee table, her attention was drawn to the books on it.

Her curious gaze fell on the ancient books, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"what happened?"

Song Wanning noticed her reaction and asked with a smile.

Li Ruo pointed to the books and said, "I saw a book in the library, and one page of it looked very similar to this..."

"At the time, I was puzzled as to how pages that were completely unrelated could be in the same book."

"Where is the book?"

Song Wanning instantly appeared in front of Li Ruo, her tone becoming extremely serious.

Her sudden reaction startled Li Ruo.

"It's that newly built library; I saw it in the books on the first floor."

Li Ruo also became serious, it seemed that her master cared a lot about that book.

"Master, I'll take you to find it right now. That book should still be there!"

It was a travelogue, and few people in the family ever read it.

It's definitely still there now.

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning's eyes flashed, and she grabbed Li Ruo's arm, quickly leaving the training room.

"go!"
