Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 171 Heading to the Leighton Family Territory

"What are you still doing standing here like an idiot?"

Just when Yi Yin was hesitating, he suddenly heard the voice of Teacher Bai Lu.

"Teacher Bai Lu? What's the situation now? Where did Bubulu and the others go?" Yi Yin asked.

"Good question. Are you familiar with the 'sweat starvation syndrome'?"

The sweat and thirst disease is a rare condition in which patients experience extreme thirst and drink far more water than a normal person needs, which is then excreted through the pores of their skin as a red fluid.

Eventually, their bodies begin to wither, their skin and muscles atrophying severely, like dry bones in the wind.

Yi Yin said quickly, "Could this be related to the Leighton family? Could it be that Di Qi's eldest brother took him away?"

Bai Lu neither admitted nor denied it, but just said silently, "Let's go to the dean's office. Bubu Lu and the others are there."

.

When Yiyin arrived at the dean's office, Bubulu, Selina and Jiaozi had already walked out of the dean's office.

However, Di Qi was the only one missing.

"Good news, everyone."

Jiaozi smiled and said, "We can get a lot of credits again. With Instructor Hei Lu leading us, we are sure to win!"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Selina said worriedly, "Having Instructor Black Heron accompanying us proves that this mission is extraordinary. Not to mention, they're from the famous Layton family..."

"It's okay. With Yiyin's help, we will definitely be able to bring Diqi back soon, right?"

Bubulu has blind confidence in Yiyin's strength, and Yiyin says that his confidence is correct.

"Let's go."

Yiyin said weakly. He hadn't expected that he would have to start a new mission right after returning from Taras and before he had time to rest.

.

On Selena's Beetle, Yiyin roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

As Yiyin guessed, Yuguka suddenly visited the Cross Base and took Diqi away, leaving only a letter of application for withdrawal.

However, as everyone knows, at the Cross Base, a withdrawal application without the student's signature is invalid. Bubulu and his companions' mission this time was to find Diqi and get him to personally sign the withdrawal application.

In addition, let's investigate the relationship between the Sweat Hunger Syndrome and the Layton family.

Jiaozi was staggering on the beetle in a sickly manner, while Hei Lu was looking at the map in his hand with a frown, as if he was worried about what to do.

"What's wrong, Mr. Kurosaurus?"

Bubulu came up curiously and asked, "Could it be that... you can't understand the map?"

"Go away, what a mess."

Instructor Black Heron said with a dark face, "I'm just worried about how to get to the Layton family's territory! Although it doesn't have the powerful support of the Koson Pterosaurs like our Cross Base, it can be said to be a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"Let me put it this way. If there's no one to lead the way, we might get trapped and die in the dark forest that's the only way to the Layton Family's territory, and never get out!"

Dark forest?

Speaking of this, Yiyin suddenly recalled some very bad memories.

"Teacher Black Heron, is there Lilith in the Dark Forest? I have a connection with her, so maybe I can ask her for a favor."

"Lilith?"

Selina, who was driving a Beetle nearby, glanced at Yi Yin suspiciously. "When did you become involved with Lilith?"

"Miss, there are still many things you don't know."

Yiyin didn't want to boast about his "glorious" record, but now it seems that if he doesn't produce some evidence, they probably won't believe it.

"do not talk."

Jiaozi said painfully, "We can come up with something, but can't others think of it? The territory of the Layton family is not a public toilet that anyone can use. We can only pray for good luck."

"Um... Jiaozi, why don't you use your magical 'Sky Eye' to see which way we should go?" Yiyin had reason to suspect that Jiaozi was trying to slack off.

"The Sky Eye isn't a pathfinder, and it can't even cure my motion sickness... Ugh, big sister, slow down, slow down...! Ugh..."

.

After a bumpy journey, dusk had already fallen. The path ahead had almost disappeared, and before them lay the dreaded dark forest.

Although there is only one letter difference, the Dark Forest and the Black Forest are incomparable.

Selina's Beetle hadn't been transformed in the Ghost Market yet, so it couldn't cross the Dark Forest. It seemed they had no choice but to cross the Dark Forest on foot.

Teacher Kurosauru was right. Just like the swamp they'd encountered in Cell, the Dark Forest had become a natural barrier for the Layton Family. All the giant trees here were bare, without a single leaf. Even more alarming, each tree had no branches, only trunks that grew wildly upwards.

There is only a narrow road that continues to extend forward, which seems to lead to a heroic road of no return.

When everyone was about to walk, Yi Yin suddenly had an idea and stopped them.

"Everyone, don't worry. This is undoubtedly a trap! We are like luncheon meat that has been delivered to your door. If you are not careful, we will be wiped out."

"But if we don't move forward, how are we going to find Diqi?" Bubulu asked in confusion.

"No, no. It's not that we won't move forward, but we will move forward flexibly. Flexibly, understand?"

As Yiyin spoke, he smiled and glanced at the waist bag hanging around Selina's waist.

Looking at Yiyin's expression, Selina quickly understood what was going on.

"I say, Yiyin, you are thinking about..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Selina's words aroused the curiosity of Instructor Kuroisagi. He wanted to see what new tricks this former student could come up with.

"Teacher Hei Lu, you don't know..."

Jiaozi whispered to Hei Lu about what Yi Yin did on Misty Island.

"..."

Selina wasn't a stingy person, so she wouldn't be reluctant to part with a few pieces of flint. However, she was a little skeptical. Could these few pieces of crude flint really burn through the Dark Forest?

"Of course not."

As if he could see the doubt in Selina's heart, Yi Yin answered quickly, "But what if we change the method? For example..."

Yiyin looked at Bubulu's coffin, and Sibuxiang was sleeping soundly inside.

Since there is no road, let's create one!

With the Sibu Xiang's ability, which is similar to that of a lower-level substitute for Taotie, I dare not say that it can set the entire dark forest on fire, but at least it can burn out a path, which is definitely no problem.

"Teacher Kurosaurus, you might not know this, but Master Angulin once said that the Sibu Xiang is a divine creature! Furthermore, during the chaotic time of the Tomb of Time, it even defeated the Alchemical Dragon sent by the Destructive Root Summoning Body!"

"Bulu Bulu! Ga g g g..."

The Sibuxiang opened its eyes at this time. Hearing Yiyin's flattery, it couldn't help but let out a few extremely unpleasant laughs, as if it was very pleased with Yiyin's admiration.

"Si Bu Xiang, you don't want us to be trapped this night and lose the golden opportunity to help Di Qi, right? If so, then cooperate obediently."

As Yi Yin spoke, he took out a few pieces of flint from Selina Fang's waist bag and wanted to feed them to the Sibu Xiang himself.

Just when Sibuxiang opened his mouth wide and wanted to have a big meal, Jiaozi suddenly cried out.

"Everyone, look! What is that?"

Following Jiaozi's instructions, everyone clearly saw a strange golden light source appearing in the sky above the dark forest. The golden light source continued to expand until it formed a golden vortex.

"It seems that Yiyin's idea is right. Is the person hiding behind the scenes going to start to stop us?"

Black Heron began to worry. He didn't know whether to tell White Heron about this.

Maybe it's not too late to withdraw now...

At this moment, Bubulu, who always had excellent eyesight, suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"It's Diqi!"

Bubulu said happily, "I didn't expect to find Diqi so quickly. It was so smooth!"

"Little Bean!"

"We're here hey!"

Although Selina and Jiaozi didn't see any trace of Diqi at all, they still chose to believe Bubulu and started calling Diqi together.

Everyone was shouting until their throats were about to smoke, but Di Qi turned a deaf ear and seemed to be sleepwalking somewhere.
