Chapter 937 Choice
"Another... drowned ghost?"

Xiao Xiao was somewhat surprised at the identity of the murderer.

Judging from the fact that the other party was able to run to the drowned ghost's territory, the drowned ghost's strength was obviously much higher than that of the tearful monster in front of it.

Moreover, the drowned ghost was quite smart. After knowing that there were humans here who could see monsters, it knew how to avoid them.

From what the drowned ghost said, I could clearly tell that the red-eyed drowned ghost had a very selfish personality, but I didn't expect that he was actually very cautious in his actions.

……

But, running away after doing something bad...how can there be such a good thing in the world?

"Drowned ghost."

"Can you find the trace of the red-eyed drowned ghost?"

Xiao Xiao thought, since they were all drowned ghosts, they probably would have some sense of each other, right?
……

The green-eyed drowned ghost looked confused.

Xiao Xiao: ...

"Do not you know?"

"You have seen each other and have had contact with each other. Can't you follow the other person's scent to find him?"

Monsters have five keen senses, and he thought that this was a basic ability.

The green-eyed drowned ghost rubbed his nose and became even more confused.

Xiao Xiao: ...

"I see."

This monster should be an exception, right?

……

"Saltfish, red carp, sea boy, white horse."

"Go find the red-eyed drowned ghost."

The monsters bowed respectfully to Xiao Xiao, and then went to both sides of the river in groups of two.

Xiao Xiao looked at the dazed Drowned Ghost and said, "Wait for me, I'll go up and tell my friend."

"Then we'll go find the red-eyed drowned ghost together."

The drowned ghost nodded blankly.

Then it reacted.

Huh? !

So many monsters!
Who exactly is this human being?

How did those monsters appear?
How could so many monsters appear out of nowhere?
The drowned ghost’s head was full of question marks.

Xiao Xiao suddenly became mysterious in the eyes of the drowned ghost.

What had originally been a simple feeling of gratitude towards this human being suddenly turned into a complex emotion of gratitude and awe.

……

"Master Xiao!"

Seeing Xiao Xiao emerging from the water, the Pei brothers and sisters spoke in unison.

They could vaguely see Master Xiao's movements in the water, but they didn't understand any more than when they didn't see it.

They were completely confused, and when they saw Master Xiao coming out of the water, they couldn't wait to ask him something.

But Master Xiao made a pause gesture and said, "You guys go back first."

“Next, I might need to spend some time.”

"If you have any questions, talk to me when I get back."

After saying this, Xiao Xiao turned around and went into the water again without waiting for their answer.

Now is not the time for leisurely conversation.

Since we don't know where the red-eyed drowned ghost has gone, the faster we move, the greater the possibility of finding it.

……

"Hey, Xiao-"

Pei You stretched out his hand, a little dumbfounded by Master Xiao's overly decisive words and actions, "Master."

"……gone."

The girl said blankly.

"……yes."

Pei Liang smiled bitterly.

He patted his sister's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's listen to Master Xiao and go back to wait for him."

"After all, we can't do much to help here."

"I'll wait here."

The girl stared at the water, the monster's cry for help that she had heard before echoing in her mind.

There was no way she could calm down and wait for news in the house.

Looking at the girl's focused expression, Pei Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll wait here with you."

The girl was startled. She turned to look at Pei Liang and said, "Thank you, brother."

"Pfft, idiot, why are you being so polite?"

Pei Liang raised his hand and ruffled his sister's hair.

"Oh, brother, you've messed up my hair." Pei You subconsciously dodged, his face full of resentment.

"Haha, your hair is already like a bunch of instant noodles."

The brother who has a straight male aesthetic teased him unceremoniously.

"What do you know?"

Pei You rolled his eyes.

She said she didn't want to pay any attention to her brother who made fun of her hairstyle, not for the first time.

Pei Liang rubbed the girl's hair again and then looked at the river.

Seeing this, Pei You straightened his hair and looked into the water.

But after her brother's fuss, she found that she calmed down a lot.

We will know everything when Master Xiao comes out.

All she needs to do now and all she can do is wait patiently.

Xiao Xiao swam back to the drowned ghost, and after swimming a little further forward, he turned around and said, "Drowned ghost, let's go."

"Go find Red Eyes?"

The drowned ghost subconsciously confirmed.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

The drowned ghost suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Although Xiao Xiao’s previous performance gave it a great shock, the red eyes left it with a deep and terrifying impression.

After being rescued by Xiao Xiao, especially after the pain in its body was relieved, its desire for revenge faded a lot.

It knew that it couldn't beat Red Eyes.

Going there would only add to the humiliation.

Maybe you will even lose your life.

Anyway, it has nothing to do. It doesn't want to look for Red Eyes. It just hopes that Red Eyes will never appear in front of it again.

The Drowned Ghost shook his head at Xiao Xiao, "No."

"I don't want red eyes."

There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he couldn't help but step back a little.

The unexpected situation made Xiao Xiao raise his eyebrows slightly.

To be honest, he never thought that the drowned ghost would be so scared that he would give up revenge.

After all, it was really covered with scars.

Monsters always seek revenge.

But on second thought, he felt that it was somewhat natural.

This monster is like a child who loves to play but is afraid of pain.

It is normal to feel traumatized after being taught a lesson like this.

If it wasn't necessary, Xiao Xiao was unwilling to force this monster.

But if it doesn't go, who will identify the red eyes?

Now that there is a second drowned ghost, what if there is a third or fourth drowned ghost?
He didn't want to settle accounts with the wrong person.

"Drowned ghost, you just need to tell me when you see red eyes."

"I'll do the rest."

"I will protect you."

"I won't let it hurt you again."

Xiao Xiao looked at the silent monster seriously, "Trust me, come with me to find Red Eyes, okay?"

The drowned ghost was tangled.

Although it didn't want to see Red Eyes again, this human saved it and helped heal its wounds.

Moreover, this human can see it.

It has invited many humans to "play with me."

However, only the human in front of it, only Xiao Xiao, responded to it.

It's really happy.

The game is no longer a one-man show, there are people playing with it.

Furthermore, the mystery he had just displayed also gave this human’s words great credibility.

Maybe, this human can really beat Red Eyes?

"Drowned ghost."

Xiao Xiao saw that the monster was wavering, and he spoke again.

Just like a straw being dropped into one end of a shaky scale, the drowned ghost's heart made a choice.

It nodded, "Okay."

"I'll tell you who has red eyes."

It emphasized, "I won't fight it."
