Chapter 1066: The Superior Leader (15)

The news of the leopard tribe having been wiped out went viral, figuratively speaking.

When they first heard the news, many tribes who thought they were strong enough were all ready to attack the peacock tribe.

But now even the leopard tribe had been wiped out, and they just didn’t dare to take action rashly.

But whether or not it was a witcher spirit made all the tribes’ shapeshifters feel nervous.

At this moment…

Right at this moment, the shapeshifters in tribes began getting killed inexplicably.

The cause of death was strange: their hearts were missing…When Ming Shu heard the news, she was eating the newly prepared roast “dried sweet potato” calmly.

“Was it the fox?” Doesn’t the fox love eating hearts? Shouldn’t it be the fake female protagonist?

“No.” Ming Zhe shook his head and said weakly, “I heard that the crime scene is very odd, and there werebeast god patterns.”

Beast god patterns?

The beast god was the object that shapeshifters worshiped. Normally, if there were sacrifices or other large activities in the tribe, the shapeshifters would draw beast god patterns.

“This is a blasphemy against the beast god,” some clansmen said in a low voice. “The beast god will distribute his punishment.”

Were there magic powers in this world?

Yes.For instance, the companion bond between male shapeshifters and female shapeshifters.

So the shapeshifters believed that the beast god was real and it was their god.

…

In the next several days, the same situation happened to the nearby tribes. They heard that the shapeshifters had died peacefully, with a smile on their faces, like they had given their hearts away willingly.

At night, Wen Nuan and Ming Shu sat in a field in the valley. Wen Nuan held her knees and asked Ming Shu carefully, “Leader, what do you think has done that?”

Ming Shu was a little distracted and answered slowly, “I don’t know.”

Wen Nuan made her own guesses. “Could it be that some shapeshifters have overdone it and entered the devil realm?”

Wouldn’t those who overdid it and enter the devil realm do crazy things?

“Do you think you are in a fantasy film?”“Isn’t it fantastic enough now?” Wen Nuan said. “I came here by transmigrating, and you…”

She didn’t know where this girl came from, actually.

This world was just too scary.

Ming Shu chuckled. “What happened to me?”

Wen Nuan bit her lip and finally spoke out her doubts. “Why did you help me?”

Right.

Even if she was right.

But why did she help her?

“Don’t put me off with the former excuse. I don’t believe it.” I don’t believe she helped me just because I can cook.

Ming Shu asked seriously then, “Being a good girl, kind and happy, washing my clothes and cooking for me, isn’t that great?”“…”

Isn’t there anything wrong with these lines!

What does she mean by that “good girl”? Am I just a good girl in her eyes?

Wen Nuan insisted to know the truth.

Ming Shu shrugged. “I have a grudge against Hu Jiu, so I certainly will help you. But the most important thing is that you can cook.”

“…” Why does it have to be related to cooking?

“You and Hu Jiu… What grudge is it?”

Ming Shu was very honest. “It’s not a grudge actually. I just want to collect some Hatred Points from her.”She really had no enmity with Hu Jiu, the Host did.

She targeted Hu Jiu just for gaining Hatred Points, which was very simple.

???

Wen Nuan had no idea what Ming Shu was talking about.

What Hatred Points?

“Shh!” Ming Shu suddenly reached out her hand and shushed her.

There seemed to be something moving in the distance, making the grass and trees rustle.

The sound was very light, seemingly no different from the breeze passing through the trees and grass.

Wen Nuan didn’t know what was happening, but she became nervous inexplicably.

Is it the crazy heart-digging psychopath coming to our place?

Shapeshifters had died in all the nearby tribes…

It wouldn’t seem strange if the killer appeared here.

The sound continued, and it came nearer and nearer to where the shapeshifters lived.

Ming Shu got up. Wen Nuan also wanted to stand up but was pressed back by Ming Shu.

Wen Nuan was left with something soft in her hands. She lowered her eyes to see the strange puppy that would occasionally appear at her side before.

Ming Shu told her it was a puppy, but Wen Nuan didn’t think it looked like one.

What kind of dog was colorful?

Little Beastie was suddenly transferred to another position, and it opened its eyes to see Ming Shu leave.

It grunted and jumped off Wen Nuan’s hands. It rolled two circles but in the end it didn’t go far.

Ming Shu’s figure soon disappeared into the night. Wen Nuan wanted to follow, yet feared that she might cause trouble for her.

So she had to wait in the spot anxiously.

As the time ticked by, the rustles over there died away.

Wen Nuan couldn’t hear anything.

It was very quiet all around.

Will she be in any danger?

Thinking like this, Wen Nuan walked straight in the direction where Ming Shu had left regardless of scruples.

Little Beastie showed the whites of its eyes and rolled after her.

Arriving at an open space in the valley, Wen Nuan saw a strange beast being pressed down by Ming Shu in the distance.

Wen Nuan had never seen such an animal.

It was similar in size to a human, but it had a small head and seemed to have scales on its body. It was like… a pangolin in human shape.

Ming Shu had contained it. Wen Nuan ran over. “What’s… what’s this?”

“I don’t know.” Ming Shu squatted down. “It can’t seem to change form… I don’t know if it’s edible.”

Wen Nuan’s lungs froze.

Don’t just think about eating things from unknown sources.

Ming Shu was just saying nonsense. This thing looked a little scary, it was basically a pangolin in human shape.

Ming Shu told Wen Nuan to gather the others.

The pangolin in human shape was tied up. Wen Nuan made a fire and the surroundings were lit up.

The pangolin passed out before. Now it woke up to see the flames and began to struggle fiercely.

“Did you commit the latest crimes?”

The pangolin looked at the female on the other side of the fire. There seemed to be no change of expression on its scaly face, but its eyes betrayed its fear.

“Why did you kill so many shapeshifters and take their hearts?”

The pangolin just watched in horror and couldn’t make a sound.

“Leader, it seems it can’t make a sound.”

“What?”

Ming Shu touched her own chin and ordered Ming Zhe to use the fire to have a try.

As the flames approached, the pangolin struggled so hard and even opened its mouth, but there was still no sound.

Surely it couldn’t make a sound.

The shapeshifters also didn’t write, so it was by no means possible to learn something from “him.”

“Why can’t he transform?” Ming Shu asked Ming Zhe.

Ming Zhe shook his head.

The other shapeshifters also didn’t know.

But one of the elder shapeshifters raised his hand. “I think he’s a little like those deformed shapeshifters that have been abandoned.”

“What?”

What deformed shapeshifters?

The younger shapeshifters didn’t know about that at all.

Only those elder shapeshifters seemed to remember something and changed their expressions.

One of them came forward. “Some shapeshifters are born deformed, and for the survival of the tribe and future generations, those deformed shapeshifters will be abandoned. This one… is very like a deformed shapeshifter.”

The nightly wind blew from the distance and the flames flickered.

The pangolin that had been tied up gathered a gloomy hatred in its eyes, looking extremely ferocious right then.
