Chapter 1165: Chapter 1168: The Murderer (Part 1)

The cave wasn’t very large, barely enough for one person to squeeze through.

Originally, Lin Xi was leading, but the Ginseng King suddenly darted ahead.

Lin Xi didn’t mind.

It seemed that whatever was inside posed no danger to the Ginseng King.

As for him, it was even less dangerous.

At the same time, he also felt that the deeper he went, the more the air exuded a chilling feeling.

But this chilliness was not akin to that of ghosts.

Rather, it was a kind of demonic aura.

Similar to the aura of a giant bear.

Of course, this wasn’t referring to the scent on their bodies.

The cave seemed quite deep, as if it extended into the mountain.

Yet neither he nor the Ginseng King felt any fear; instead, they were increasingly curious about the interior.

Along the way, they didn’t encounter anything particularly dangerous.

That’s how it was for them.

If it were ordinary people, they probably wouldn’t be able to withstand that eerie aura.

Moreover, they frequently encountered small creatures like poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders.

In regard to these, Lin Xi didn’t do much and just sensed an aura emanating from the Ginseng King.

As that aura spread, the venomous snakes and spiders began to tremble, frozen in place, not daring to move a muscle.

It was like the king of the mountain.

The path wasn’t easy, and considering the depth of the cave, it took them about five minutes to sense that they were getting close.

Because the path was getting wider.

And they could hear some roaring noises from within.

It seemed that whatever was making those roars was the very thing he was looking for today.

In other words, it was the culprit behind the mysterious deaths in the village.

After another two or three minutes, the path suddenly opened up before Lin Xi’s eyes.

A pool roughly one square meter in size appeared before him.

And beside the pool stood a giant rock.

On the rock was an animal about the size of a two- or three-year-old child.

As he got closer, he couldn’t help but murmur, "Huang Da Xian?"

This so-called Huang Da Xian was actually a weasel.

In rural areas, it’s a common belief, and villagers even set up altars to worship weasels, believing they can "possess" people, causing mental disturbances.

Generally, people in rural areas avoid provoking Huang Da Xian.

Not only do they possess certain abilities, but they also harbor strong revenge, and can even ally with other weasels.

So, unless necessary, no one dares to mess with Huang Da Xian.

"So it was you!" Lin Xi said.

He could sense that this weasel’s strength was at the level of a top special forces soldier, even nearing a breakthrough to the Soldier King Realm.

The weasel eyed Lin Xi and the Ginseng King warily.

However, upon realizing that neither of them exuded any powerful aura, its tension eased greatly.

At the same time, it became enraged.

How dare anyone intrude upon its lair!

This was unforgivable!

It had assigned the little snakes and spiders to guard the path, so how did they manage to get through?

After dealing with these two, it would definitely teach those small snakes and spiders a lesson.

The human looked quite energetic.

And the ginseng, so large?

An absolute tonic!

It suddenly wore a joyful expression.

If it could devour this human and eat the ginseng, it would definitely be able to break through its current realm.

By then, those outside, even those slightly weaker or of similar strength, would all have to die.

In the next moment, Lin Xi suddenly felt a faint ripple in his mind, as if something was pulling at him?

He then turned back to look at the weasel, noticing its eyes were closed, seemingly doing something.

Moreover, he could feel a spiritual power emanating from it towards him.

"Is it trying to control me?" he thought.

Recalling folklore, he confirmed this suspicion.

But, haha!

How could someone like him, with innate abilities, be controlled by a weasel of top special forces strength?

What a joke!

Even if it excelled in this area, it would be difficult for it to control someone of the same level.

Let alone someone far surpassing its strength.

No wonder!

Last night, one of Tang Rui’s men was almost controlled, wandering out of the room like a sleepwalker.

It seems to have been the weasel’s doing.

However, it was too greedy and underestimated his subordinates.

As a result, it failed in the end.

"So its intent was to absorb human energy!"

"To break through to the Soldier King Realm?"

"Dark arts!" Lin Xi scoffed coldly.

This explained why the villagers who died showed no wounds, whether it was Tang Rui’s men or the police examining them.

"Courting death!" he growled lowly.

The weasel, eyes closed and full of arrogance on the rock, was startled by Lin Xi’s sudden shout.

It quickly opened its eyes.

Seeing that the human nearby wasn’t under control at all.

At once, it was bewildered.

How could this be, unless they were of the same strength, it could control almost anyone.

So how could this normal-looking person not show any signs of being controlled?

By rights, they should have been controlled immediately and then obediently let it absorb their energy.

Why?

For a moment, it couldn’t comprehend.

Nor did it care about Lin Xi’s angry demeanor; it tried again.

Yet, the result was still ineffective.

Not believing it, the weasel tried at least three or four more times.

But the result remained the same.

Then, it shifted its gaze to the Ginseng King.

It decided to take care of the ginseng first.

Then it would deal with the human; after all, they were already here, and escape was impossible for them.

In the next moment, it roared at the Ginseng King, baring its teeth as if to intimidate.

As soon as it did this, its figure vanished from the rock.

The speed was alarmingly fast.

Far beyond that of a top special forces soldier.

Even some who had just entered the Soldier King Realm couldn’t match its speed.

However, it didn’t notice the slight contempt on the Ginseng King’s tiny face.

In terms of speed, it had never feared anyone other than Lin Xi!

So, the weasel’s frightening speed, in the eyes of the Ginseng King, was still terribly slow.

As the weasel got within half a meter of the Ginseng King, revealing its sharp claws, seemingly aiming for a deadly strike,

In an instant, it saw the Ginseng King’s tendrils, like lively giant snakes, wrapping towards it at a speed it couldn’t react to.

And it was precisely at this moment that it sensed the Ginseng King’s aura.

An aura utterly invincible to it.

In a flash, it abandoned its attack, dodging to the side, planning to escape immediately.

However, how could the Ginseng King let it escape?

Just as it was about to turn, the Ginseng King’s tendrils already had it tightly ensnared.
