The show resumed after a brief pause.

Li Zhiqiang's screen went black, and the village chief's screen also went black.

Currently, we can only see Zhao's team.

However, their images contained nothing but a tranquil river surface.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was filled with heated arguments about who the Yaksha was.

[Li Zhiqiang's portrayal of the Yaksha was definitely a fake; it was too crude.]

Yes, he just wanted to scare people, so it definitely wasn't him, Yaksha.

[Damn it, they almost misled us.]

[It wasn't him, nor the village chief, nor a tourist, so who could it be?]

Qin Wei: [If Li Zhiqiang is a fake, then I believe the real person is the village chief, who was faking being attacked.]

"That's impossible. If Yaksha is the village chief, why would he kill the boss? He's his cousin."

[Moreover, the two families seem to have a good relationship; just as Li Zhiqiang said, they've made their fortunes together.]

Could it be another villager, like Old Wang?

[Yes, speaking of Old Wang, who was the demon he saw? Was it a real demon or Li Zhiqiang in disguise?]

Qin Wei: [Old Wang's story is definitely fake; he didn't kill anyone. The real Yaksha always makes a move whenever he appears; so far, only Dilraba is alive.]

Does this mean that the Yaksha only eats men and not women?

[Holy crap, absorbing yang energy to replenish yin? Is this some kind of supernatural being?]

...

The conversation in the live stream got increasingly esoteric, shifting directly to how demons cultivate to become gods, and the question of the composition of demons and monsters after the Investiture of the Gods. They even discussed whether Pangu and Nuwa were considered immortals or demons.

"They're not here yet? Are they not coming?" Dilraba yawned; she had already woken up from a nap.

Even the most energetic Wang Rou couldn't hold on any longer and shrank back.

"Sister Fei, let's go back. It's too boring. We might as well play mahjong."

Lu Fei also felt a bit bored.

"If we had known we'd have to wait this long, we might as well have played mahjong while we waited."

"Captain Zhao and the others are still waiting. Aren't these guys sleepy at all?"

Lu Fei straightened up and stretched.

Team Leader Zhao quickly gestured for her to stop and reprimanded her in a low voice.

"Put your hands down, or someone will see you."

Lu Fei pouted, reluctantly put her hand down, but her gaze inexplicably turned to the upper reaches of the Da Cang River, and then her hand stopped in mid-air, motionless.

"Put your hand down right now!" Captain Zhao shouted again in a low voice, his voice urgent.

Lu Fei seemed to be possessed, completely ignoring Captain Zhao, staring intently upstream, her voice hoarse.

"Team Leader Zhao, look over there."

In the distance, upstream of the Dacang River, a strange figure stands on the riverbank.

It was the Yaksha that Zhao and his team were lying in wait for!

[A Yaksha? It's a Yaksha, isn't it?]

[Yes, it seems so. It's hard to see clearly even from this distance.]

[It must be because everyone complained earlier that the Yaksha is afraid to come closer.]

[Damn it, if you don't want to get closer, you could at least come a little closer! I can't see anything clearly from this far away.]

[He actually dared to show up again! He's already killed two people; does he have to cause such chaos?]

[Damn it, he seems to have seen Lu Fei. Now Captain Zhao and his team are exposed too.]

...

Before Captain Zhao could react, the Yaksha in the distance had already turned around and run upstream, its figure getting smaller and smaller.

"Target spotted! Upper reaches of the Dacang River! Everyone give chase immediately! We can't let him get away!"

Zhao, the team leader, leaped out of the cover first, followed by dozens of police officers who jumped out from their respective ambush positions and chased after Yaksha.

"Hurry up and keep up!"

Lu Fei was suddenly wide awake. She grabbed Reba and Wang Rou and jumped out, chasing after Zhao and the others with all her might.

They were slow, but fortunately they were deployed along the line, so they formed a long line during the pursuit, and the pursuers didn't lose them.

The Yaksha moved swiftly, quickly passing the small pond and continuing forward.

"Stop! Stop! We're police!" Captain Zhao shouted as he ran.

The Yaksha in front showed no sign of stopping, just kept running silently. No matter how fast Zhao ran, he could only see a blurry back.

Ten minutes later, the Yaksha suddenly jumped into the water and disappeared into a side channel of the river.

Team Leader Zhao ran breathlessly to the riverbank, looking puzzled at the cave at the fork in the road.

"Did...did he go inside?"

"He's inside, Captain Zhao. I saw it clearly," a policeman said, panting. He was closest to Yaksha and ran fast.

"Is this a tributary? Who knows where it flows to?" Captain Zhao looked at the people behind him.

Local police officers immediately stepped forward to explain.

"Team Leader Zhao, we've never been inside, but we've heard it's quite dangerous with falling rocks, so the village has put up a fence in the water."

Shining a powerful flashlight over it, you can indeed see a fence in the middle of the water in the distance.

"Team Leader Zhao, I suggest we bring a boat over. Swimming in like this is too dangerous. If he's hiding somewhere and ambushing us, our comrades will be in mortal danger," Old Wu suggested after looking at the terrain.

Indeed, it's pitch black inside, and nobody knows what's going on. If the killer is hiding in the shadows, it would be easy for them to commit murder.

Team Leader Zhao dared not take the risk, so he could only turn to look at Li Xiangyang.

"Director Li, bring a boat over, and also a few large searchlights, or torches, will do."

Li Xiangyang nodded, "I'll have someone get it right away."

They all live by the river, so getting a boat isn't difficult; it just takes a little time.

[The Yaksha actually escaped here. I remember Shen Yi and the others came to see this place last time.]

They did look, but they didn't go in; they stopped at the fence.

Could this be the lair of a Yaksha?

I don't know, there's something mysterious about this place, and the village won't let us in.

[Wow, this is so exciting! We're finally going in. I wonder what's inside.]

...

While they were looking for a boat, Lu Fei and the others arrived. The three girls were breathing heavily, their knees hunched over like bellows.

"If I had known we would have to wait for the boat, we wouldn't have run so fast." Lu Fei sat down on the ground without any regard for her image. She was so tired that her legs were shaking.

Dilraba and Wang Rou weren't much better off; they sat down next to her.

Just then, Lu Fei suddenly took out her phone, glanced at it, and then gave a dry laugh, speechless.

"You certainly know how to pick your time."

"Who is it?" Dilraba asked casually.

"Shen Yi, he woke up and asked how things are going here." Lu Fei tapped a few times on her phone.

"He certainly knows how to pick his timing. We've already caught up with him here, and then he wakes up. I let him come over."

Upon hearing that it was Shen Yi, Dilraba didn't say anything more and quickly took a break.
