The night at Liqing Mountain is extremely quiet; not even the sound of insects or birds can be heard.

"You rest first, I'll take care of the first shift."

Song Yu said to Youlan.

Youlan didn't say much, just nodded slightly and found a relatively comfortable position to lie down.

She closed her eyes, but her heart couldn't calm down.

The night at Liqing Mountain seems more mysterious than the day.

Song Yu sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, staring at the moon in the sky whose light was obscured by dark clouds.

Time passed slowly and the night grew darker.

Song Yu felt a chill and couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some movement not far outside the cave.

Song Yu held his breath and approached the cave entrance cautiously, trying to identify the source of the sound.

Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the bushes and ran straight towards the cave entrance.

Song Yu quickly drew his sword and prepared to fight.

However, just as the black shadow was about to rush into the cave, it suddenly stopped and let out a low roar.

Song Yu looked closely and found that the black shadow was actually a huge wolf-shaped monster.

Its eyes flashed a faint green light in the darkness, looking extremely strange.

Song Yu swung his sword towards the monster.

Youlan woke up from her sleep and looked at Song Yu in surprise, who killed the demon wolf with a single move of his sword.

"What level of monster is the demon wolf in the underground abyss?"

Song Yu asked casually while poking the body of the demon wolf with his sword.

Youlan rubbed her eyes, sat up from the ground, and replied: "Demon wolves are classified as lower-middle-level monsters in the underground abyss. They usually don't act alone, they like to appear in groups.

However, this demon wolf seems to be a little different. It actually dared to come and attack us alone."

Song Yu retracted his sword, "Youlan, check if there is anything special about this demon wolf."

Youlan followed the instructions and went forward to carefully examine the body of the demon wolf, and found that there were no special marks or items on it.

She shook her head, indicating that she found nothing unusual.

"This demon wolf is the most common underground demon. There is nothing special about it. If I have to say anything, it is that it appears alone in Liqing Mountain."

Youlan had seen too many magic wolves, and she really didn't think that such low-intelligence monsters posed any threat.

"A lone demon wolf betrayed its biological instincts and ate two monks who were resting in the wild. This explanation sounds reasonable."

Song Yu sat down cross-legged and took out a booklet from his arms. It recorded what happened to the disciples sent by other sects after they came to Liqing Mountain.

They have all encountered different underground monsters to a greater or lesser extent, some of which are more ferocious than the magic wolf.

"I can't tell anything unusual from this booklet. Since there are monsters that can transform into human form in Liqing Mountain, it's normal to be attacked by other monsters here."

Youlan sat beside Song Yu and watched for a while, then said with certainty: "The reason they disappeared must have been captured by the transformed monster!"

Song Yu put away the booklet and said indifferently, "If that's the case, then you and I will go deep into Liqing Mountain tomorrow and conduct a thorough investigation."

"Actually... I don't think you need to take this matter too seriously."

Youlan hesitated and said, "Even if you and I can't find the transformed monster, it won't cause much harm to Lingwu Continent."

Song Yu turned his head to look at her, "What do you mean by that?"

"I guess that monster won't live long after it transforms."

Youlan touched her nose guiltily. She was a magic cultivator, so she naturally knew the most about monsters. But if she just told him about the monsters' weaknesses, would he be able to use them to deal with the monsters in the underground abyss in the future?

Youlan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to confess.

“After a monster transforms, it can temporarily hide its demonic energy, but this state cannot last long.

They need to constantly consume their own magic power to maintain their human form, and this consumption is huge.

Normally, monsters can only maintain their transformed form for a short time, unless they can find a special way to replenish their magic power."

Song Yu frowned, as if thinking about something.

Youlan continued to explain, “Moreover, the combat effectiveness of a transformed monster will be greatly reduced when it is in human form.

They lose the instinctive advantages they had in their monster form, and become easier for monks to detect and defeat. "

"So, you think we don't have to worry too much?"

Song Yu asked.

Youlan nodded: "Yes. Although the transformed monsters may pose a threat to individual cultivators, they are not a big threat to the entire Lingwu Continent.

Unless they can find a way to remain in their transformed state for longer periods of time, their threat is limited."

Song Yu pondered for a moment.

This was the first time he heard this statement.

Youlan continued, "It doesn't matter even if you and I don't go looking for the transformed monster."

She was injured and she didn't want to fight.

If they could convince Song Yu to give up, the two of them could return to the Demon-Breaking Pavilion, and she could heal her wounds in peace.

Youlan looked at Song Yu nervously, wondering how he would react after hearing these words.

"The demon cultivator's style of doing things is really to take seeking benefits and avoiding harm to the extreme!"

The sound of Song Yu's applause spread far away with the night wind, and Youlan was so nervous that she swallowed her saliva.

"Because the monster can't last long after transforming, we can leave without worrying about it and let it hurt monks and mortals at will during this time?"

Song Yu snorted coldly: "Do you think all righteous cultivators are the same as you evil cultivators, who only consider their own interests and ignore friendship?"

Youlan was speechless for a moment due to Song Yu's questioning. She knew that her thoughts seemed too cold in the eyes of the righteous monks.

She lowered her head and softly defended herself, "It's not that I don't care about the safety of those monks and mortals, it's just..."

Song Yu interrupted her, with a hint of toughness in his tone.

"Youlan, you have no right to refute my decision, understand?"

Youlan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

Silent all night.

The sun jumped out of the horizon, and the warm sunlight penetrated the clouds and poured down on Liqing Mountain.

Song Yu walked in front. Today, he was going to investigate the hunter's hut halfway up the mountain according to the records in the booklet.

Several monks who came to Liqing Mountain to investigate the matter but disappeared inexplicably had been there.

"The hunter's hut is a place for hunters to rest at night. The booklet records that the hunter who lives there is called Wang Erniu, a villager from the village at the foot of Liqing Mountain."

While Song Yu was on his way, he explained the information in the booklet.

After last night's conversation, the relationship between the two became unnatural again. Youlan could only obey Song Yu's decision and at most asked for details.

As for what Song Yu was going to do, Youlan had no right to interfere with him.

The surrounding scenery gradually became desolate. A light mist filled the mountains and forests, making the vision blurry.

Youlan followed Song Yu closely, her heart filled with anxiety and confusion, but she dared not say much.

"Song Yu, do you really think we can find those missing monks?"

Youlan finally couldn't help but ask.

"We must find them, dead or alive."

The two continued to move forward and finally arrived at the hunter's hut.

The hut looked a bit shabby, with some dried animal skins hanging on the wooden stakes in front of the door.

Song Yu gently pushed the door open, and a musty smell hit his nose.

The house was in a mess, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

The two searched carefully but found no clues related to the missing monk.

"It seems that there is nothing to find here."

Song Yu said with a frown.

Youlan looked around and suddenly her eyes fell on a tattered table in the corner.

She walked over and found some strange symbols carved on the table.

"Song Yu, do these symbols look familiar to you?"

Youlan asked, pointing at the symbol.

Song Yu took a closer look and his expression suddenly became serious.

"I have seen these symbols in the book. They are the marks left by those missing monks!"

The two men looked at each other and were certain that the monk who arrived first had been killed.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the fence gate outside the cottage, and a strong smell of blood drifted into the house on the wind.

Song Yu turned and drew his sword.

"Another monk is here?"

A strong man wearing a tiger-skin coat and carrying a bow and arrow stood in the yard. He held a few dead rabbits in one hand and supported the shaky fence gate with the other.

He is a mortal, and although there is some demonic energy on his body, his eyes are pure and his breath is steady. He is not a puppet whose mind is controlled by the demonic energy.

Song Yu retracted his sword.

"Who is your Excellency?"

"What do you mean by Your Excellency or not? Just call me Wang Erniu!"

As Wang Erniu spoke, he threw the rabbit to the ground and pulled out a dagger from his waist, as if he was going to skin and cut the meat.

"Wang Erniu, have you ever seen other monks coming here?"

Song Yu asked straight to the point.

Wang Erniu stopped what he was doing, looked up at Song Yu, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"I have seen a few, but they were all uninvited guests. I didn't pay much attention to them."

Youlan walked forward and asked as gently as possible, "What happened to them later?"

Wang Erniu was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Some of them never showed up again. I guess they got lost or encountered some danger. This Liqing Mountain is not a good place."

Song Yu and Youlan looked at each other and realized that the missing monk might have really met with an accident.

Song Yu continued to ask: "Did you find anything unusual? For example, strange noises or traces?"

Wang Erniu frowned, as if trying hard to recall.

“Well… a few days ago, I heard a strange roar coming from deep in the forest, like a wild beast, but it didn’t sound like any kind I was familiar with.

As for traces, there are wild animal footprints everywhere in this mountain, so it is difficult to distinguish them. "

Youlan's heart tightened, she knew that the roar might be related to the transformed monster.

"Wang Erniu, have you ever seen any strange people or creatures?"

The sturdy man shook his head.

"No, I haven't seen anyone else except you for a long time. However, if you want to go deeper into the forest, I advise you to be careful. This Liqing Mountain is not simple."
