In the fish demon’s eyes, there was a hint of human-like hatred and schadenfreude.
It seed to think that as long as the person it bit was dood, the one who hurt it and stole its Demon Core must be buried with it!
But Ginsengfruit just let out a cold laugh and then kicked the other foot forward.
The fish demon didn’t even have ti for the schadenfreude to fade from its face before it was kicked flying by Ginsengfruit, its scream getting farther away.
Then with a thud, the fish demon was kicked back into the water.
The fish demon thought it was lucky, thinking that as long as it returned to the water it would be free, but little did it know, Mo Zhi was already prepared.
When she saw the fish demon bite Ginsengfruit earlier, she knew this fish demon was dood.
Although she didn’t know Ginsengfruit’s origins, she knew the Master valued him greatly, otherwise, he wouldn’t have given him the identity of Qingfeng Temple’s top disciple.
To so extent, this behavior ant that Ginsengfruit was the Master’s chosen successor.
A person like that, she naturally couldn’t offend and even needed to fawn over a bit.
Watching Ginsengfruit beat the fish demon, Mo Zhi kept a close eye on the situation. If Ginsengfruit was at a disadvantage, she would help out without leaving a trace.
Now that the fish demon was sent flying, Mo Zhi naturally needed to prevent its escape.
The fish demon was happy for less than a second before it was dragged back by Mo Zhi’s whip.
"If I let you escape right under my nose, I’d have no face left to stay here."
Ginsengfruit looked down at his leg. It wasn’t injured, but his pants now had several holes bitten by the fish demon.
This kind of professional protective clothing, once it had even one hole, was basically ruined.
This set of clothes was worth a hundred thousand. Ginsengfruit was simply following Yun Ran’s sowhat stingy nature.
Looking at the fish demon tied up like a dumpling again, Ginsengfruit picked up the dagger once more.
"You ruined my clothes, so using your skin to compensate seems reasonable!"
If there was no sin on the fish demon, and it was rely a spirit that gained consciousness, Ginsengfruit might not act against it.
After all, the Host had expressly forbidden harming innocent lives lightly.
[Please let go!]
The fish demon knew this group truly had capabilities. It was no match for them, so it quickly begged for rcy. Even though it lost quite a bit of its Dao progress with the Demon Core gone, it still didn’t want to die.
Ginsengfruit swung the dagger in his hand and sneered, "Those lives you devoured, why didn’t you spare them?"
Earlier, when he examined the Demon Core, he clearly saw traces of human aura, which ant this fish demon had eaten humans before.
The Little Paperman, perceptive as always, brought over a stone and stuffed it in the fish demon’s mouth.
"Boss, now it can’t talk anymore~"
Ginsengfruit: ...
He suddenly felt that the Little Paperman wasn’t that smart after all, as the fish demon didn’t use its mouth to speak.
Before its death, the fish demon couldn’t figure out why simply and regularly coming out to hunt, and incidentally killing its prey, sohow ended up costing its life.
Without the fish demon blocking the way, so illusions created by the fish demon beside the small river began to reveal their true form gradually.
As the mist cleared, everyone saw that beside the river, what looked like small mounds were actually heaps of bones.
Among these bones, there were human and animal remains, looking extrely eerie.
Du Jun curiously asked, "This fish demon obviously has a strong corrosive nature, so bones should be easily digestible. Why are there so many piled here?"
Xin Fu was also curious, as those bones indeed showed signs of corrosion.
"Perhaps the fish demon doesn’t like eating bones, or maybe these bones are its trophies, deliberately kept?"
Du Jun looked at the bones and then at the already lifeless fish demon.
He had a strange feeling that this seemingly unreliable reason might actually be the true one.
"The second person’s remains are within these skeletons!"
Looking at the mountain of bones, the people from the Sihui Sect decided to help look. After all, more people ant more effort.
Unexpectedly, before they could even roll up their sleeves, half of the Little Papern surrounding them flew out.
In just a few moves, they had overturned the bone mountain and started searching within.
The people from the Sihui Sect: ...
So they had really just beco useless decorations, as they weren’t even needed for the labor work.
In just a couple of moves, the Little Paperman found the second person’s remains.
Ginsengfruit took out a talisman paper, placed it on the bones, then took out his phone to continue filming.
As the talisman paper was placed on the bones, it emitted a brilliant light before quickly rging into the bones.
"Identity confirmation successful!"
After turning off the recording, Ginsengfruit looked at the Little Paperman and said, "Burn it, then tidy up."
As for the other bones, the Little Paperman categorized them all neatly.
The leftover human remains couldn’t have their identities traced, but they still placed talisman papers on the bones.
Should family mbers co looking in the future, the talisman papers would help them find their relatives.
After finishing, the Little Paperman set fire to the bones, burning them all, and then packed them separately.
"Prepare to find the third person!"
The gaze from the people of Sihui Sect was fixed on the talisman papers in Ginsengfruit’s hand, incredibly envious of such family-identifying talismans.
Du Jun even thought about negotiating a deal with Qingfeng Temple under the na of the Sihui Sect, as the market for those talisman papers was huge.
Just before leaving, Ginsengfruit suddenly looked towards the direction behind them, where they had initially entered from.
Mo Zhi did the sa, furrowing her brows afterward.
"What’s wrong? What happened?"
"Soone else has co in."
Du Jun was surprised to hear this, as the Sihui Sect always guards the entrance to Death Mountain, and very few people have entered through the regular procedures over the years.
Yet now, in just a few days, so many groups of people had arrived.
Although his Dao progress wasn’t very high, he understood human nature well.
If it weren’t for imnse profit, those people wouldn’t risk their lives doing such things.
However, seeing the serious expressions on Ginsengfruit and Xin Fu’s faces, Du Jun perceptively refrained from asking if those people were coming for Yun Ran.
Ginsengfruit’s face already displayed a cold expression: "Since they’re here, they might as well leave their lives behind!"
