Chapter 404

Xiong Gang's tall body stood up, his arms spread slightly, making a defensive posture.

This action made the figure behind him look like a small child.

That figure was still wearing a school uniform, looking like a high school student.

The boy grabbed Xiong Gang's clothes, revealing half of his head; his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, his lips were bitten broken by himself, there were many scratch marks on his neck, and there was an indescribable terror on his face.

In this situation.

It was not suitable to have a conflict with Xiong Gang.

So Wu Xian greeted him in a friendly manner: "Brother Xiong, we parted a bit hastily last time; I was just looking for a chance to chat with you."

Xiong Gang bared his teeth and scolded: "Who is your Brother Xiong? Are you trying to get close to me again to sneak attack me?"

Wu Xian was retorted by him, and a surge of foul air rose: "I've heard that many bears, before attacking humans, will disguise themselves as harmless and silly, and when people relax their vigilance, they will suddenly launch an attack..."

The two didn't say two sentences before they started choking.

Wu Xian held his saw-blade knife horizontally for self-defense, and some fur also emerged on Xiong Gang's body; the two were at daggers drawn, and it looked like they were about to fight.

"Wow, I want to go home!"

The dangerous aura pierced through the boy's already unstable spirit, making him unable to help but look up and wail.

Xiong Gang wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to do it.

Wu Xian saw all his actions in his eyes, and only then realized that in Xiong Gang's vigilance towards him, there was also a hint of grievance; if all this was acting, then Xiong Gang's acting was too good.

"Unforgettable, unforgettable..."

"If it were the me of yesterday, would I let things develop into a fight to the death with him?"

After a few deep breaths, Wu Xian's spirit returned to calm; just now he had run in the darkness for a period of time, and the curse of dark fear should have already taken effect, which was why his emotions were so irritable and unstable.

"May I ask!"

Wu Xian raised his hand.

"Are there monsters in the water pool of this small cave?"

Xiong Gang was stunned; the atmosphere had reached this point, why did he suddenly change the topic? "No, I've drunk water there twice..."

Wu Xian walked towards the water pool, and in Xiong Gang's surprised gaze, he plunged his head into it; the cold water stimulated Wu Xian's scalp, the pain on his face eased slightly, and the blood stuck to his face also melted into the water.

Borrowing the cold pool water, Wu Xian regained his calm.

'Xiong Gang is a monster summoned by Xia Caoqing's story.'

This point was already confirmed information.

But carefully recalling Xiong Gang's various performances since he appeared, Wu Xian was surprised to find that from beginning to end, this guy had many opportunities to kill people, but in the end, no one died because of him.

Especially this chance encounter.

Xiong Gang's identity had already been exposed, and he didn't need to hide in front of Wu Xian; if he had launched a surprise attack when Wu Xian was most panicked just now, Wu Xian might have been killed directly.

The corpses of the malevolent entities on the ground indicated that Xiong Gang was hostile to the malevolent entities in the darkness.

The boy hiding behind Xiong Gang could also slightly corroborate Xiong Gang's stance.

"For now... let's treat him as a friendly party."

"Ah!"

Wu Xian hummed lightly, pulled his head out of the water pool, shook his hair elegantly, and sat down generously in front of Xiong Gang.

"Let's talk."

"Who wants to..."

"Please, by all means, chat with me."

Xiong Gang originally still had anger, but as the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face; Wu Xian's attitude was sincere, his tone was gentle, and even when rejected, he requested normal communication, so the anger in his heart slowly subsided. In many literary works Wu Xian had seen.

Many contradictions and conflicts all stemmed from misunderstandings, and the reason for misunderstandings was mostly that the two parties involved refused to speak like humans.

Although being subservient to cater to Xiong Gang was a bit of a loss of face, after all, it was a matter of life and death, and Wu Xian didn't want to force someone who might have been a friendly party to the hostile side because of a momentary quarrel.

Wu Xian lit a candle, extinguished the torch, and the communication with Xiong Gang gradually deepened.

The boy behind Xiong Gang also calmed down; under the warm candlelight, he could finally sleep for a while.

Xiong Gang explained his behavior of hiding his identity.

He said that although he wasn't human, he didn't have the idea of actively hurting people, and hiding his identity was just because he didn't want to be suspected by others; the reason he was hostile to Wu Xian was because of the expression Wu Xian had when he discovered he was a malevolent entity, which looked like he wanted to kill him.

Wu Xian explained that it was his special ability, and he only had combat power when he showed a ferocious expression, and demonstrated it to Xiong Gang on the spot.

Talking to this point, the contradiction from the last cave exploration could be considered turned over.

But although Wu Xian put his attitude very low, he didn't completely trust Xiong Gang, so he solemnly asked Xiong Gang a question.

"Have you really never killed anyone?"

According to Wu Xian's speculation, Xiong Gang was summoned by Xia Caoqing's story, so he must have attacked the campsite; if Xiong Gang said he had never killed anyone, then his words would have to be discounted here at Wu Xian's.

Xiong Gang's expression was a bit difficult, and he hesitated for a while.

"I have killed, and also..."

Xiong Gang pointed to his mouth and made a swallowing action.

"The place where I was born was a beautiful forest, where campers often came to play; at that time I was just a little bear, only daring to watch the campers secretly, but not daring to approach their campsite."

"Campers were usually a few men and a woman; after the camping ended, the men would return to the human world, while the woman's corpse would remain in the forest."

"A bear discovering a corpse in the wild, what will happen, you should know this."

"With the increase in the number of times campers came to the forest, I found that I was becoming smarter and stronger, far exceeding the degree a bear should have."

"So I started attacking humans!"

"And the humans closest to me were the humans who came to the forest to camp every once in a while; I caught a man, ate everything of his, and possessed the ability to transform into a human."

"If things developed normally, I would have killed everyone there, and from then on, I would always be a monster that feeds on humans."

"Then, I heard the sound of chanting scriptures."

Wu Xian raised his eyebrows: "Scriptures?"

Xiong Gang nodded: "Yes, scriptures; there seemed to be a god in red in the flames, preaching to me; although I couldn't understand the meaning of the scriptures, just listening to the sound made my mood become much calmer, and I no longer had the irritable murderous intent I had before."

"So in the morning, I mixed into the campers and went down the mountain, and transformed into the appearance of a child, integrating into a human village."

Xiong Gang hadn't heard Xia Caoqing's story, but the content he told wasn't much different from Xia Caoqing's story.

Therefore, Wu Xian concluded that Xiong Gang wasn't lying, and he already believed him eighty percent in his heart.

This guy was originally no different from other malevolent entities, but was converted by the Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Lord, thus turning over a new leaf and no longer creating murderous sins...

Suddenly.

Wu Xian noticed a bug.

"Wait, when did you attack the campers?"

Xiong Gang was stunned: "About ten years ago, why?"

Wu Xian licked his lips.

This didn't match Xia Caoqing's story! (End of chapter)
