Chapter 26: Is the real culprit someone else?

Although he had only just arrived, he had to admit that the "spawn point" the Management Bureau had prepared for him was truly special—

This is probably the smallest thatched hut in the entire Zulu village.

It's just enough space to accommodate two or three wild boars.

Xu Lun even suspected that this might have been prepared for captive wild boars.

There wasn't even a place that looked like a place to sleep; the rudimentary conditions were appalling.

With no other option, he had to use the straw quilt he had brought as a mat, curl up on it, and make do with sleeping there.

As for the hole-like opening in the grass wall...

If there's no door, so be it. The house is already in such a dilapidated state, so having a door or not doesn't really make a difference.

Xu Lun yawned, feeling sleepy, and listened to the cheerful laughter coming from afar, gradually drifting off to sleep...

Late at night.

The bonfire party has also come to an end.

The once bustling Zulu village has now fallen into silence.

Aside from the faint glow of the bonfire in the square, which was still crackling and burning.

Throughout the entire village, not a single person could be seen, and not a single sound could be heard.

Just when everyone in the village was fast asleep.

In the thatched hut where the "man-eating monster" is imprisoned.

The beast lying in the deep pit was clinging to its last breath; it had no strength left to do besides breathing.

Its injuries were so severe that its spine was broken by those primitive people, and it had many bones throughout its body, so it basically had no hope of survival.

At this moment, the moonlight slanted down, shining through the mesh cover over the deep pit, illuminating the dying beast.

Just as Xu Lun had guessed, this beast was indeed a feline, and its official name should be "Cloud Leopard".

As for why it has such a name, it is said that if this creature cultivates to the level of Beast King or above, it can travel directly through the clouds without any restrictions.

But at this moment, it was on its last legs and its life was nearing its end.

However, not long after, a shadow elongated by the moonlight suddenly appeared at the entrance of the thatched hut!

It stretched longer and longer, and something silently entered and stopped in front of the pit.

Immediately afterwards, a human arm was carelessly tossed onto the cover above the pit.

Fresh blood dripped down the wooden strips on the lid into the pit.

"It seems the people in this village are all fools..."

Under the moonlight, a huge black shadow appeared in the thatched hut at some unknown time!

Judging from its outline, it was much larger than the beast in the pit.

Their physiques are in completely different leagues.

A pair of eerily bright golden eyes, appearing particularly strange in the darkness, seemed like a ghost, staring intently at the beast in the pit below.

"Eat it, human flesh... it will make you stronger!"

The massive black shadow exuded a murderous aura as it stared intently at the dying beast in the pit.

"We're brothers, after all. Eat this human flesh, and you can become as powerful as me. Don't hesitate..."

But the wild beasts in the pit could only gasp for breath, they didn't even have the strength to open their eyes, let alone get up to eat.

The shadowy figure stretched out its forepaw and casually rummaged around, causing the human arm that had been resting on the mesh cover to fall through the gap in the middle and land near the beast's mouth.

"You'd better watch yourself... You've seen the cruelty of humanity... To them, any living being in this world is worthy of death!"

Having said that, the shadowy figure turned and left, while the wild beast in the pit never opened its eyes once...

the next day.

Xu Lun woke up very early.

the reason is simple.

The thatched hut had such a large doorway that it offered no shelter or soundproofing, so the sun shone directly into his face early in the morning.

It's noisy outside.

Xu Lun vaguely heard someone shouting, "Murder!"

He came out of the house and saw that the villagers all seemed to be heading to the same place.

problem occurs?

Xu Lun frowned and followed.

Soon, he saw the thatched hut where the wild beasts were kept. A large crowd had gathered at the entrance, including the burly chieftain.

Xu Lun saw Lu Men, so he went up to him and asked:

"What's wrong?"

When Lu Men saw it was him, he whispered:

"The night watchman who was on guard at the village entrance last night was eaten by wild animals."

Xu Lun's expression changed slightly, and he asked suspiciously:

"Is it that monster from Charva?"

Although he had long believed that the beast he caught yesterday was not the man-eating monster of legend, he did not expect the real thing to appear so soon.

Lumen turned and looked at him, his expression surprised:

"You already guessed it?"

What?

Xu Lun was a little confused.

"Someone just saw what looks like human remains in the pit. Now we suspect that this monster went out at night, killed the person, and brought them back to eat."

Xu Lun was dumbfounded. So you thought I was talking about the wild beast in the pit?

Forget it, I don't want to explain myself. I'll see what happens first.

More and more people gathered around, and the sounds of discussion rose and fell.

Just then, the chief emerged from the thatched hut, cleared his throat, and addressed the assembled villagers:

"After confirmation, the arm in the pit is indeed the arm of Ruhr, the night watchman who was on duty last night!"

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

The chief raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"This monster escaped from the dungeon while everyone was asleep last night!"

It's possible that he was discovered by Ruhr, who was on night patrol, when he left the village, so he was killed on the spot to silence him and his body was taken back to the dungeon!

The arm we just found in the dungeon belongs to Ruhr! That's the best evidence!

This monster is taking revenge on us! It wants to eat us all!

I suggest we hang this monster up with a rope in a bit.

Peel off its skin, dismantle its bones, and burn its flesh!

I'm going to make this killer monster pay a terrible price... Ouch!

The chief was speaking enthusiastically when he was suddenly struck on the head with a club, causing him great pain.

Everyone was stunned. Xu Lun, who was hiding behind the crowd, changed his expression slightly.

Suddenly, an old man emerged from the crowd, raising his cane high and repeatedly striking the chief's head with it, cursing as he did so:

"Idiot! Fool! Waste of money! Disgraceful!"

Your father was such a smart man back then, how could he have given birth to such a bastard son like you!

Ignorant and incompetent! Useless and shameless!

All you ever do is grilled wild boar! Grilled wild boar! You've eaten so much wild boar meat that your brain has grown into the shape of a wild boar!
