400: Chapter 394 Beast Skin 400: Chapter 394 Beast Skin “What thing?
What thing…”
The white-furred old mouse called Xiunu seed to have not caught on for a mont.
As she blurted out a response, she also cast a cautious glance at Brother Shan beside her.
“Are you deceiving ?
There is no such treasure in your den as you say?”
“Since that’s the case, you no longer have any reason to exist, die!”
With a fierce expression, Chen Hai was no longer holding back.
As his thoughts moved, the raging flas surged violently, sweeping towards the true body of the white-furred old mouse that was Xiunu.
Having been deceived and mocked in his presence, and having escaped from his hands, Xiunu had long lost any shred of his trust.
The words he had just spoken were indeed the last chance for Xiunu.
If the piece of unknown beast skin, referred to as the Supre Treasure by Xiunu, really existed,
and if she was willing to hand it over honestly to Chen Hai, perhaps, in a mont of soft-heartedness, he could let her live for another ten to twenty minutes.
As for letting her go, that was definitely impossible!
To eradicate evil is imdiate duty.
For such demons that have hard the lives of innocent people, Chen Hai would remain ignorant, that was fine.
But now that he was aware of their evil deeds, he would not even consider leaving them a way out!
“Senior, spare my life, please spare my life!”
“That beast skin truly exists, I had no intention of deceiving you!”
“It’s only that, that item, has never been in my possession…”
Xiunu wailed continuously, as the flas crazily burned on her.
The flas driven by Chen Hai not only scorched her body but were also incinerating her Demon Soul.
The severe pain that pierced her heart was sothing even a thick-skinned demon could not possibly endure.
It was rare to encounter such a demon normally, and instead of directly devouring her Demon Soul, he only used flas to burn her to death.
For Chen Hai, although this seed wasteful, Xiunu’s Demon Soul was deeply hidden within her physical body.
Protected by her shell, even if Chen Hai used his Divine Soul, he could not directly devour Xiunu’s Demon Soul in an instant.
And as for driving Xiunu’s Demon Soul out of her body?
Whether or not Chen Hai was capable of that, it would ultimately be a very troubleso matter for him!
Trapped within the cage of flas was not just Xiunu.
The other white-furred rat demon nad Brother Shan was significantly larger than Xiunu.
Without a word, he decided to finish Xiunu off with the force of thunder.
The reason Chen Hai acted so swiftly and decisively was not only because he bore killing intent toward the rat demon Xiunu, but also because his actions were ant to serve as a warning to others.
No matter how Xiunu wailed and cried, Chen Hai was indifferent and unhearing, unmoved by her pleas.
Only after her soul was utterly extinguished and she turned completely to ash did his gaze finally shift to the other white-furred old mouse rat demon, Brother Shan.
“True Man, Little Demon has been lurking in this place for over a hundred years!”
“I have always been devoted to cultivation behind closed doors, never committing any acts that defy heaven and harm reason.”
“Although every year at Conggui Mountain, so people die untily deaths due to various accidents, that has always been Xiunu’s doing, and it has nothing to do with !”
“I have always believed that as a demon, one should protect the peace of those around them.”
“I have never liked Xiunu’s malicious doings, and over the years, I have lost count of how many tis I have tried to convince her, but she just wouldn’t listen!”
“Even to the extent, I have fought with her many tis, but unfortunately, while I am bigger in size, I am just a silver gun with a pewter head and simply cannot beat her!”
“Those whom the heavens want to destroy must first be driven mad, Xiunu dying at your hand, True Man, is retribution.”
“True Man, you are acting on behalf of heaven, your killing is righteous and satisfies the hearts of the people…”
The rat demon Brother Shan seed very adept at playing the political ga, and seeing the way the wind was blowing, he knelt before Chen Hai at the earliest opportunity, honestly and obediently.
He didn’t imdiately beg Chen Hai for rcy.
With a calculated roll of his eyes, he looked righteously at Chen Hai and flattered him without restraint.
Where had this rat demon learned his flattery from?
As he continued his flattery, his words flowed like endless river water, never pausing for a mont.
For a good fifteen minutes, not only did he not stop talking, but the words of flattery he used were never repeated.
Everyone likes to hear sweet words.
Even Chen Hai was no exception.
So, while the rat demon Brother Shan was flattering him, he simply looked directly at Brother Shan and did not act rashly.
“Are you done talking?
Sa as before, hand over the beast skin that set you two rat demons on the path of cultivation!”
“See the item, and you might live; fail to produce it, and you’re undeniably dood!”
It wasn’t until Brother Shan had run out of words and couldn’t speak further that Chen Hai, with an expressionless face, snorted coldly and issued his final ultimatum, challenging him.
“What beast skin?”
“That Xiunu, so sneaky and deceitful, True Man, you mustn’t be fooled.
Not a word that cos from its mouth is true!”
“As a senior with great wisdom like yourself, you wouldn’t seriously believe that its entrance into cultivation was due to so unknown beast skin, would you?”
“As you can see now, I co empty-handed, with nothing to my na.”
“The place where I was hiding was indeed my lair, but all you could find there is so straw and grain, absolutely no beast skin!”
“If you don’t believe , you can let your Divine Soul depart and search inside for yourself!”
…
Brother Shan promised eagerly, swearing on his honor.
“Thieving brows and rat eyes,” an idiom originally used to describe a person with nefarious intentions.
Brother Shan, originally a large white rat demon, even though his words sounded sincere, Chen Hai, who had been watching him intently, still detected a hint of slyness on his face.
“No beast skin, then you might as well die too!”
With a cold statent, the mont Chen Hai chanted, tumultuous flas surged up and engulfed Brother Shan completely.
Brother Shan’s words sounded nice, but Chen Hai had never truly believed them.
Earlier on, Cousin Jiang Dalong had been enchanted by an unknown presence and leaped into the pond.
Without a doubt, it was this Brother Shan’s doing!
To create an opportunity for Xiunu to escape, Brother Shan would even do such a thing.
Could it be possible that the yearly accidents that occur on Conggui Mountain had nothing to do with him?
Although Chen Hai hadn’t actually witnessed Brother Shan engaging in any misdeeds, he wasn’t a policeman; his actions didn’t require evidence!
All he needed was to be convinced that Brother Shan, and Rat Demon Xiunu, were two of a kind!
Killing such demons, he had no qualms whatsoever!
Regarding the unknown beast skin that Xiunu had called a treasure, gaining it would be lucky, and losing it made no difference; if it didn’t exist, he wouldn’t demand anything!
“True Man, spare , I am a good demon, a good demon…”
Within the roaring inferno, the completely panicked Brother Shan continued to plead his case.
When his wailing beca barely audible, and then fell completely silent, Chen Hai finally rembered the promise he had made to Cousin Jiang Dalong!
“That Dalong, making no other demands but insisting I bring him so demon at back, isn’t he making it difficult for ?”
“I hope it’s not too late now, that I can still salvage so rat demon at from these flas!”
The fire engulfing Rat Demon Brother Shan extinguished in an instant.
While muttering to himself, Chen Hai found a small stick about two feet long nearby.
Under the scorching fury of the flas, Brother Shan was dead beyond the shadow of a doubt.
However, Chen Hai’s flas were snuffed out in ti, preventing Brother Shan’s demon body from being reduced to ashes.
Holding the small stick, he began to sift through the charred remains.
The flas had mostly carbonized the leftover body of Rat Demon Brother Shan.
His dark body, upon being prodded with the small stick in Chen Hai’s hand, crumbled instantly into black dust.
“What is this…”
Before he managed to find any palatable demon at, he unearthed from Brother Shan’s charred remains a piece of dark brown beast skin, about the size of half a palm.
Judging by where it was found, Chen Hai had discovered the item within Brother Shan’s belly!
Surrounded by beast skin, the other parts of Brother Shan’s remains had been reduced to charcoal by Chen Hai’s flas, yet this particular object was still intact, showing no signs of being scorched.
“Could this be the piece of beast skin the Rat Demon Xiunu was talking about?”
“This thing, had Brother Shan ingested it, carrying it within himself?” This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Hai’s mind.
The more he considered it, the more he felt that his speculation might indeed be possible.
He examined the unknown beast skin in his hands, turning it over, yet in a short ti, he couldn’t see anything extraordinary about it.
With a slight frown, and after a mont’s hesitation, flas surged up in the palm holding the beast skin.
Even though it was enveloped in flas, the space around the beast skin seed to warp strangely, giving Chen Hai the sensation that the flas couldn’t truly touch it.
“No matter whether this unknown beast skin is the Supre Treasure that Xiunu spoke of!”
“Just from its ability to twist space and prevent my flas from even touching it, this object is definitely a treasure.”
“I’ll keep it for now and take the ti to study it later when I return!”
He carefully pocketed the unknown beast skin and, still holding the small stick, he began to search through Brother Shan’s remains once more.
