Unable to Kill It, It's All My Fault

"Therefore, when facing a pack of wolves, just one or two wolves are enough to take down the flock of sheep.•._.••´¯``•.¸¸.•` `•.¸¸.•´´¯`••._.•"

"Those dead wild dogs were probably brought there under the influence of that monster."

"This is unbelievable!" said the Saint Venerable Daweide, somewhat incredulous.

"If you find it unbelievable, then we can try it out," Lin Yunji said.

Then he turned to look at the birthplace of those stray dogs, where, just then, another stray dog was born.

Lin Yunji stepped forward, grabbed the stray dog with his bare hands, pressed his fingers firmly against its throat, and carried it over.

"Follow me." Lin Yunji went back to the other side of the mountain.

The assembled dignitaries hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed.

Led by Lin Yunji, Zhu Chongxin followed the original path to the other side of the mountain and then arrived at the lake.

At this moment, Lin Yunji did not lead them directly to the edge of the lake. Instead, he stopped and stood on a ridge not far from the lake, gazing into the distance.

Perhaps sensing the presence of Lin Yunji and the others, the monster hidden deep within the lake slowly emerged from the water once more.

Once the head fully emerged, its crimson eyes stared intently at Lin Yunji and the others, filled with ferocity.

Lin Yunji and the others couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

An invisible aura of intimidation emanated from the monster, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

Lin Yunji forcefully threw the stray dog he was holding onto the water.

The stray dog howled loudly and sadly as it crashed into the mud.

It trembled and struggled to climb out of the mud, trying to walk towards the edge of the road.

But at that moment, the calm lake surface suddenly trembled, then the monster roared loudly, and then everyone saw an unbelievable scene.

The stray dog, which had just been trying to escape the mud and pond, now trembled and slowly walked towards the water.

Upon reaching the lake, the stray dog surprisingly jumped into the water on its own and was then devoured by the monster.

After swallowing the wild dog, the monster quickly vomited it up, but this time there was no meat left, only snow-white bones.

Upon seeing this scene, all the Venerable Ones present couldn't help but gasp.

After the monster protruded the wild dog's bone, it hurled it far away, and the bone landed on the ground not far from the lake, lying there quietly.

And those white bones on the mud still exude a gentle aura.

"I have a guess as to how this silt came about," said the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable in a deep voice.

She saw it clearly: when the monster protruded the wild dog's bone, some mud also protruded along with it.

Simply put, that taro paste might be the monster's saliva or stomach acid!

After finishing off a wild dog, the monster was clearly still hungry. Its cold, ferocious, scarlet eyes stared fiercely at Lin Yunji and the others, filled with desire and greed.

But it was clear that Lin Yunji would not be fooled into stepping forward willingly.

"Let's leave," Lin Yunji said.

"Alright." The venerable ones nodded in agreement.

On the way back, everyone wore a solemn expression.

"That monster must be surviving on these wild dogs. If we control the place where the wild dogs are born and prevent them from going to the monster, perhaps the monster will starve to death." Supreme Hongdu presented his hypothesis.

All the venerable ones suddenly realized the truth.

That's right. Although they can't defeat this monster, they can use another method. And if they kill this monster, they will definitely gain a lot of power.

"That's a good idea." Lin Yunji nodded.

"But there's another possibility: if he's really too hungry, what if he just runs out from there?"

"Very likely." Supreme Hongdu gave a bitter smile, momentarily at a loss for words.

If that monster were to emerge from there and enter the village, they would surely meet a gruesome end.

"Could we poison that monster?" Immortal Venerable Hongluo came up with another idea. "We can just throw them into the water; maybe that will poison the monster to death."

"Judging from the monster's appearance, poison is probably ineffective," Lin Yunji, shaking his head in refusal.

"Let's stay away from this monster for now and not provoke it," Lin Yunji advised after a moment's thought.

"As for the river near the village, it's fine to fetch water. Just don't kill those wild dogs from the birthplace anymore. Let them roam freely until we kill that monster. Then we'll go and kill it." Lin Yunji said.

"But if we can't defeat the monster, I'm afraid the longer it goes on, the stronger it will become, and then it will be even more impossible to defeat," Supreme Hongdu said with great concern.

"That's impossible," Lin Yunji retorted directly.

"When I kill a stray dog, I only gain a tiny bit of power. But that monster is definitely stronger than me, and not just a tiny bit stronger. So, for that monster, killing a stray dog won't give me much power either, so what difference would it make if it killed a lot more stray dogs?"

"But we'd better have someone keep an eye on the place where the wild dogs spawn. If an elite wild dog appears, killing it will grant us a lot of power, so we should kill it ourselves," Lin Yunji said.

"That's acceptable." All the dignitaries accepted this suggestion and nodded in agreement.

When they returned to the river, they fetched some water. Lin Yunji had now completed all four tasks assigned by the old clan chief. After returning to the village, they reported back to the old clan chief.

As expected, after the old patriarch confirmed the completion of the mission, all those who participated in the four missions received a very pure power in the the Unseen – this was the reward!

"I received a reward of about ten points," said the Saint Venerable Daweide, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement.
