Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

A hundred years ago, the Red Fire Snow Leopards had not yet been cursed. As a species naturally resistant to the poisonous gas of the rainbow grass, they lived near the rainbow grass and fed on the creatures that were lured to death by the rainbow grass.

Until one day, a man in black robes appeared. He brutally killed the leader of the leopard group at that time, the grandfather of the little snow leopard, and killed a large number of young and strong snow leopards.

Later, the little snow leopard's father succeeded to the throne. Out of consideration for the survival of the leopard group, it humbly accepted the negotiation with the black-robed man.

The black-robed man gave them the power of the blue lotus fire and ordered them to guard the rainbow grass forever.

About three years ago, the black-robed man reappeared and had the bodies of those who perished in Paradise buried among the rocks, forming a vast cactus cemetery. Even so, many people succumbed to the temptation and perished there.

“I didn’t expect this to happen.”

The old beggar sighed, "It's only been a hundred years since I last visited Paradise, and yet something like this happened. Alas, I once held the Leopard King killed by the black-robed man when he was still a child. Furthermore, I was lucky enough to taste a piece of the flesh of his father, the old Leopard King. That taste was truly... crushing..."

Listening to the old beggar's nonsense, everyone expressed doubt, only the little snow leopard walked to the old beggar's feet and rubbed him affectionately.

Di Qi translated gloomily, "The little snow leopard said that they did have the experience of sharing flesh and blood with humans."

what?

When everyone was shocked, the old beggar calmly explained:

"Leopards have a tradition that after they die, they will be eaten to protect their descendants. I am fortunate to have made friends with the old leopard king, and he has promised me that I can eat a piece of his meat..."

The old beggar was lost in memories of the past and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"I will definitely punish that man in black robe!"

After calming the little snow leopard down, it jumped back into the leopard group.

Although he boasted, the old beggar didn't want his efforts to go to waste. He pointed to a map on Wonton's waist and said, "It's time to show it off."

"Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten about it."

Wonton slapped his forehead, took out a blank map, then brought the Sibu Xiang in front of the map and motioned it to press a fingerprint.

Sibuxiang reluctantly pressed a handprint.

A magical thing happened. After Sibuxiang pressed his handprint, the originally blank map suddenly became covered with rows of dense red lines. Judging from the direction of the red lines, this was already a qualified map.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Yuntun explained, "This thing cannot be hidden. It was created using alchemy by Albert, one of the Ten Shadow Kings known as the Scarlet Sage. It can trace the enemy by blood. Thanks to the Four-Unlike-Such-Four-Unlike being stained with the blood of the Emperor Crow, we finally know the location of the Emperor Crow and the black-robed man."

"That guy just likes to do these weird things. He'd better spend his time thinking about how to save his daughter..." The old beggar muttered softly, but no one heard his words.

Now that they had the map, they studied it carefully. But the strange thing was, the black-robed man had clearly flown away, so why was the direction indicated on the map directly downwards?

“The map can’t be wrong.”

Wonton confidently summoned the Cylon Rat.

"Theron Rat, dig for me! Even if I have to dig three feet underground, I must find the man in black robes!"

Theron Rat worked hard and started digging quickly.

Soon, a dark cave entrance appeared in front of everyone, and the digging of the Theron rats at the bottom was still going on.

Tom——

There was a muffled sound, and Wonton knew that the Seron rat had dug to the end.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

Everyone followed Wonton and slowly walked down along the cave dug by the Seron rat.

The air in the cave was growing thinner and thinner, and things looked very ominous. Selina wanted to pull out a light stone to illuminate the cave, but unexpectedly, the cave trembled for no apparent reason, and the soil beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and everyone fell down without warning.

.

The rapid fall did not last long, because everyone seemed to touch the roots of some plants, which greatly slowed down the falling speed.

When the collapse completely stopped, everyone finally saw what was inside: a vast, empty underground void. They lay sprawled among countless roots. The thick roots exuded a sweet, clear scent, and the other end extended endlessly into a spring-like underground pond.

"Ha, what a coincidence! It seems we fell under the roots of the rainbow grass. Hahahaha." The old beggar patted the dirt off his body.

Everyone crawled up in a hurry, everyone was covered in dirty mud, and rushed towards the pond.

"do not go……"

Yiyin realized it. He knew that the pond would reflect people's greatest fears.

But it was too late, those quick guys had already reached the pond.

Yi Yin wanted to stop it, but accidentally glanced at the water surface, and then...

……

Yi Yin felt her pupils suddenly dilate. Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could she be here too?

The girl in front of him was holding the Shura Purgatory Blade and was wrestling with him. He, in turn, was holding the Black Tortoise Blade and began to fight the girl move by move.

Or rather... risking one's life.

Why is this happening?

Why do we have to go in completely opposite directions?

Yi Yin asked himself, he felt a pang of heartache and an extremely powerless feeling came over him.

Yiyin looked at the girl and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

However, I couldn't hear clearly because I was already thinking too much.

The hand holding the Black Tortoise Blade was shaking constantly. If he had to turn against me, he would not show any mercy.

This is the right path that I have determined.

But why, I still shed tears...

……

"Iyin? Iyin!"

As everyone called out to her, Yiyin's eyes gradually regained clarity.

It was so dangerous that Yi Yin was still scared.

I only glanced at the pond briefly, and my soul was almost sucked away. If I stared at it any longer...

"Yiyin, what's wrong with you? You looked so scary just now."

Selina grabbed her arm and said anxiously. In all the years that Yiyin had worked for their family, Selina had never seen Yiyin show such a terrifying expression.

"I……"

Yi Yin didn't know what to say, "I was frightened by the fear in my heart."

Seeing Yiyin admit it so generously, Jiaozi and Diqi both frowned and remained silent.

Obviously, except for Yi Yin, the others also saw the things they feared most in the pond.

"Yiyin, what did you see?" Bubulu asked curiously, "Jiaozi and Diqi refused to tell us."

"Ah... look, what is this?"

Yiyin changed the subject very clumsily.

Following his instructions, everyone saw a stone door covered with moss.

There are two big words written on it:

Huangquan.

"Yiyin, didn't you say Huangquan was a person? How come it has become a place name now?" Bubulu asked in confusion.

"Never mind anything."

Wonton said seriously, "According to the map, the Emperor Crow is behind this. Do you have the courage to come?"

The answer is obviously already determined.

Everyone, including Wonton, worked together to push open the stone door.

The brilliant light poured in from all directions, making people feel dizzy.

On the magnificent floor, a dining table that stretched as far as the eye could see was placed on the ground. It was filled with all kinds of delicacies. The strong aroma whetted one's appetite and made one want to eat to their heart's content.

"Don't even move!"

Yi Yin howled loudly, then tore off half of his sleeve. Yi Yin put the half sleeve into his mouth, blocking his mouth.

Yi Yin knew very well that she could not resist this rare beast banquet with her fragile willpower alone.
