Xiao Xiao had a flash of inspiration.
The black shadow Ying Shao had seen flying away earlier... was it Yu Hai's missing head and neck?
What was going on?
Xiao Xiao raised a hand and pressed his temple.
He had thought he would see a monster.
Instead, he had found a headless "corpse."
He wasn't sure what state Yu Hai was in.
Was he still alive?
Or was he already dead?
He lowered his head. "A Jiu, A Bai, do you know what kind of monster this is?"
Yu Hai's strange condition, along with the demonic aura lingering in the air—
It was hard for Xiao Xiao not to suspect that a monster was behind all this.
"Hiss~"
The white snake shook its head.
Little White Fox swished its tail, then shook its head too.
In some ways, the white snake and Little White Fox were much alike.
Both had spent most of their lives in the mountains and forests, with little contact with humans.
They had encountered very few other monsters, too.
If that monster had been right in front of them, perhaps they could have figured something out.
But all that remained now was a faint trace of its demonic aura in the air.
They had no idea what kind of monster had left it behind.
"I see?"
Xiao Xiao murmured.
It looked like...
He smiled.
It was time to wait again.
If Yu Hai was still alive in his current state,
then his missing head and neck should come back, right?
Xiao Xiao wasn't sure.
He could only say that it was at least possible.
Besides, waiting seemed to be their only option now.
Xiao Xiao walked over to the window.
The night outside was deep and dark.
A few stars
