Chapter 341 The truth is revealed!
After a brief discussion, they decided that Lu Xiaoli would continue to be responsible for controlling the Yin Ling to restrain the giant monkey, while Shi Yan would hold a sharp weapon and wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.
Lu Xiaoli did it right away and shook the Yin Ling again without hesitation.
As a pleasant bell rang, the giant monkey was once again fixed in place.
Seeing this, Shi Yan tightly gripped the sword in his hand and rushed out like an arrow.
Just as they were getting closer and closer to the giant monkey and victory was in sight, an accident suddenly happened.
Just when Shi Yan was about to approach the big monkey, he saw several small and agile monkeys suddenly jump out from under his feet.
These little monkeys were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they hugged Shi Yan's legs tightly, opened their sharp fangs, and bit down hard.
Shi Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but let out a groan.
But he endured the pain, swung the sword in his hand and chopped at the little monkeys that were pestering him.
Unfortunately, these little monkeys were extremely agile and dodged left and right, so Shi Yan's attack was temporarily ineffective.
At the same time, the immobilized giant monkey gradually regained its ability to move and began to struggle to break free from the restraint of the Yin Ling.
Seeing this critical situation, Lu Xiaoli was extremely anxious. You know, after each use of this Yin Bell, it takes a full ten seconds to work again.
But now, only eight seconds have passed since the last use.
Just when Lu Xiaoli was extremely anxious, a little monkey took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly jumped and pounced on him.
Lu Xiaoli reacted quickly and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the fierce attack.
After getting up, he didn't even bother to catch his breath. He stared vigilantly at the little monkeys around him, and shouted to Shi Yan, who was still struggling with the little monkey not far away: "Shi Yan, you must hold on!"
Two seconds passed in a flash, and Lu Xiaoli shook the mysterious Yin Bell again without hesitation.
As the clear and eerie bell rang, the originally lively little monkeys froze in place, unable to move, as if they were under a spell.
At the same time, Shi Yan, who had been waiting on the side, tightly grasped the sword in his hand, exerted force with his feet, and rushed out like an arrow.
His speed was astonishingly fast, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, running straight towards the huge giant macaque.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Yan jumped high, gripping the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed the giant monkey's head with all his strength.
However, this cunning giant monkey seemed to have sensed the approaching danger in advance. At the last moment when the tip of the sword was about to touch its head, it managed to break free from the Yin Ling's restraints and nimbly dodged to the side.
Despite this, Shi Yan's fierce attack did not completely miss. The sharp sword blade scratched the giant monkey's thick shoulder, leaving a deep blood mark.
The attacked giant monkey became furious and opened its bloody mouth to let out a deafening roar.
Immediately afterwards, it raised its enormous claws and swept towards Shi Yan with a whistling sound.
Because the distance was too close, Shi Yan had no time to dodge and watched as the fatal claw was about to hit him hard.
At the critical moment, Lu Xiaoli, who was standing not far away, was extremely anxious. Without thinking, she used all her strength to throw the Yin Ling in her hand into the air.
I saw the Yin Bell spinning rapidly in the air, emitting waves of strange fluctuations.
Finally, the Yin Bell hit the monkey's forehead accurately, making a dull "bang". The monkey, hit hard, instantly fell into a state of unconsciousness.
Shi Yan naturally would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He quickly turned around, shook his wrist, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out again like a poisonous snake out of a hole.
This time, the flash of sword light accurately penetrated the throat of the giant monkey.
Accompanied by a horrible whimper and a dull thud, the giant monkey's huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and then completely disappeared in a cloud of billowing black smoke.
At the same time, the little monkeys whose bodies were fixed by the Yin Ling seemed to have lost their support. They turned into starlight and disappeared into the air.
Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Lu Xiaoli. The two hugged each other, and the joy of surviving the disaster surged in their hearts.
Lu Xiaoli picked up the Yin Ling, and found an ancient wooden box under the disappeared body of the giant monkey!
Shi Yan took out the key he found in Widow Li's house and tried to open it. With a "click", a trace of black gas emanated from the wooden box!
There was only a ring and a letter in the box!
A mechanical voice rang out: "Ding—Congratulations on obtaining the Weird Weapon Storage Ring!"
When I opened the envelope, there were only a few big words written on it!
Who is the murderer?
Lu Xiaoli looked at Shi Yan with a puzzled look on his face and asked softly, "You know what? I've always felt that this matter is very strange, but I can't figure it out."
Shi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a calm and determined expression:
"After my investigation and analysis, I'm afraid the cause of Widow Li's death is not as simple as it seems.
In my opinion, she has a serious mental illness, such as hallucinations.
As for the creepy crying sound heard in the middle of the night, it was most likely made by a giant macaque. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it was made by Widow Li's daughter, who had been cruelly devoured by the giant macaque."
He paused and continued to explain in an orderly manner: "Before this, we all fell into a misunderstanding and were misled by that mysterious little note.
Now that I think about it, Rule 4, which states that the village chief can be trusted, is the correct rule, and the real mistake is Rule 2.
According to Rule 40, if the favorability drops by , you will die, but this is not the case in reality.
Therefore, through this series of clues and reasoning, it can be concluded that the contents of the diary written by Widow Li are all false.
Unfortunately, her daughter met a fatal blow at the hands of a giant macaque, and this heavy blow made her already fragile mental state even worse.
Therefore, all these seemingly bizarre things were actually just her own imaginations during her illness.
Also, what she set on fire was not the entire village, but only her own house.
That would explain why her house was covered in that dark dust."
