Chapter 597 Complaint
Wen Gu responded and asked, "Did you see their animal forms?"

"Yeah, I was shocked," Li Chuan complained, "It's not that strange actually. Couldn't you have told me earlier so that I could be mentally prepared? If I hadn't kept my expression down today, wouldn't there have been more trouble?"

He glanced at Wen Guying's expression and said, "You didn't do this on purpose? Are you waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"

"No, no," Wen Guying denied repeatedly, "By the way, this is the dinner sent by the Xun clan guards." He pointed to a large plate on the table with some biscuits and dried meat on it.

"I'm just hungry." Li Chuan walked over and started to eat the cake.

"Have you ever heard of pregnancy through feeling?" Wen Guying asked.

"This... seems to have been heard of." Li Chuan hesitated and asked again: "This, is it really not some kind of excuse?"

"Of course not. In ancient times, humans and gods lived together, and we cannot use today's common sense to guess the situation at that time." Wen Guying put the Tianqi Sword into the scabbard, "It is impossible to test how the first half-demons came about. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, the form of half-demons may be very different from the original half-demons. But they do have the blood of both humans and ancient monsters in their bodies."

"What about the Feather Tribe? They seem to have an extra pair of wings?" Li Chuan thought of Yu Chen, and then he saw the half-smile on Wen Guying's face. He asked, "Really? Do they have other forms?"

Li Chuan shook his hands resignedly and said, "Forget it, it's just weird, maybe you'll like it after looking at it more."

At this time, the smell of medicine began to fill the room.

While Li Chuan and Wen Guying were talking, Lao Xiaokai was decocting medicine again.

Li Chuan rubbed his nose and talked about his discovery. "I entered a mysterious state and looked carefully at their bodies. There is a structure in their bodies that they use to switch between the two forms." He thought of the Feather Tribe again, and added, "Maybe there is an intermediate form."

"That structure..." Li Chuan hesitated and said, "I'm not sure yet. I need to take another look at the structure of 'Ghost Light' and do some experiments before I can be sure. When it was over, the spiritualist came over. I don't know how long she stood there..." He was very pragmatic and said, "Anyway, I will go to her tomorrow to ask for her, and try to figure out everything I can before considering dispelling the White Night."

"It's good that you have an idea in mind." Wen Guying stood up and said, "Then you should rest early. By the way, Junior Brother Pang has broken through the bottleneck today."

"Really?" Li Chuan was very happy. He asked, "What about my second brother? Has he made any progress?"

"Everyone is making progress," Wen Guying said, "Brother Gong thinks too much and will hesitate. I guess he will stay in this state for a while."

"That's not bad." Li Chuan said.

Wen Gu Ying said: "They followed you, saw more, and their horizons were broadened, and many shortcomings were made up for."

"Do they have a chance to enter the inner gate?" Li Chuan asked.

"Let's see," Wen Guying didn't say anything serious. He said, "It depends on what Cang Ming Hall Master thinks. There's nothing wrong with taking in two honest and decent children." After that, he said, "I'm going back. You should have a good rest."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Li Chuan said.

"See you tomorrow."

After Wen Guying left, Lao laughed and said, "He actually said that your second and third brothers are honest."

"He is quite honest." Li Chuan said. Lao Xiaokai clicked his tongue twice and said, "The skill you showed today was really amazing. Is this the way of the Tattoo Sutra?"

"Yes." Li Chuan said, he asked: "When did the spiritualist come, and how long did she see you?"

"I don't know either," Lao Xiaokai replied, "It shouldn't be long. I guess he came here to take a look because the white night is about to fall. It doesn't look like he came here to spy on us on purpose."

Li Chuan asked him: "Did you know that half-demon beast form looks like this?"

"I've seen you from afar before." Lao said with a smile.

So he is the only honest man. Li Chuan shook his head, sat down on the bed, half-lying down and said, "I'll take a break. How long will your medicine take? I'll fall asleep after I drink it."

"About another half an hour, it will be almost done." Lao smiled and replied.

"It took so long..." Li Chuan took out Gong Wuguang's notes and flipped through them page by page until he finally came to the page that recorded Songdu. Li Chuan carefully read the text several times and gradually figured out what Gong Wuguang meant. He probably only heard about the existence of Songdu but didn't find it, and he speculated that Songdu's location should be between several tribes and protected by a barrier.

Song Du knew everything, but he just didn't remind him of the beast form of the half-demon. Li Chuan complained in his heart, and turned a few pages back. He saw a few interlaced lines drawn on one of the pages, and the words "array" were written next to it.

what is this?
Is there a certain formation in the Cangwu wilderness? Or... Li Chuan remembered the crisscrossing secret passages underground that he saw when he fell asleep...

Could it be that those secret passages formed a formation? It was not impossible, he also felt the existence of a teleportation formation inside. If there really was such a large formation, who was the person who set it up?
Ancient demon beast? Unlikely. Human wizard from ancient times? Possibly.

I'll ask Wen Guying and Jiang Mei tomorrow. Li Chuan yawned, closed the book, and asked Lao Xiaokai again: "Are you done? I'm about to fall asleep."

"Okay, let it cool down and drink it." Lao Xiaokai poured the medicine into the bowl and said, "Would you like to ask the spiritual master to find a few half-demons from the Ruoshui and Xi tribes tomorrow?"

"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.

"The Ruoshui tribe is a group of half-demons that live in the water. They must know more about the Sanqing River than other tribes." Lao Xiaokai turned around and said, "Maybe someone among them also had a dream."

"I think so too, but they don't necessarily listen to the spiritual master. We don't know what the spiritual master thinks." Li Chuan said, "I'll tell her anyway. What else did you find today?"

"Thunder." Lao laughed and said, "That thunder must represent something. Maybe it's not thunder, but another sound."

"It's cold," he picked up the bowl and walked to Li Chuan, "Drink it, I'll go to sleep after you finish it."

Li Chuan took it and drank it in one gulp.

"I think what they dreamed of was the final scene, the final battle between monsters and humans." A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, "If... the ancient human wizards used the souls of monsters to cast a curse, could those thunders be the sound of human wizards chanting spells?"

"What on earth is Chi Lin planning?" Li Chuan put down the bowl and said, "Now I feel that fighting and killing is more refreshing. As for using my brain, I don't have the brain to do it."
