Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185: Murderer! “Oh, have you discovered something?” Shi Hao asked. Zuo Huanheng nodded, “Ever since the murder occurred, I’ve been observing everyone and noticed a few people behaving noticeably differently.” He mentioned several names, and these individuals… they had all been bitten by werewolves before. “Do you mean to say these people worked together to take out the target, torturing and killing them?” Shi Hao asked, “But why would they do such a thing?” “It’s highly possible… they underwent some kind of transformation after being bitten, causing a drastic change in their personality,” Zuo Huanheng speculated. He paused for a moment and said, “I plan to expose them later. Master Shi, would you stand by me? After all, I’m just a lone person, and others might not listen to me. But it’s different with you, Master Shi; you are a renowned Formation Master with a status comparable to a Jade Immortal.” Shi Hao thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright!” The crowd gathered once more to discuss what to do next. They all voiced their opinions because under Zhong Zecheng’s leadership, people kept dying, his authority diminished, and no one was willing to listen to him. “Bian Ruili, Ding Xinghuo, Chang Feiyi, you five—” Zuo Huanheng pointed one by one, “Are you the murderers?” “Ha ha, what are you joking about?” The five shook their heads, “You want to accuse us without evidence?” “Don’t think I didn’t see it; you five often hide together to secretly eat raw flesh!” Zuo Huanheng dropped a bombshell, “Dare to show everyone the meat and let everyone see where exactly it came from!” With these words, the faces of Bian Ruili and the other four changed dramatically. Such a covert affair was actually witnessed by someone? Seeing the change in their expressions, others also showed apprehension. Could Zuo Huanheng be telling the truth? “Bian Ruili, hand over your Spatial Spirit Tools for inspection!” Zhong Zecheng said coldly. Bian Ruili and the others looked at each other, but all shook their heads. “Don’t blame us for being rude then!” Zhong Zecheng said coldly. At this, others also followed his words and surrounded Bian Ruili and the others. Bian Ruili and the others exchanged looks and eventually relented, handing over their Spatial Spirit Tools. Soon, chunks of meat and even internal organs appeared on the ground. This horrified everyone; these were clearly human flesh! Their corpses!” Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝 “We clearly buried them, yet—” “They dug up the bodies of Li Ji and others.” Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, directing accusations towards Bian Ruili and the others, their anger soaring, eager to kill. “No, no, no, we only ate the meat; we didn’t kill the people.” Bian Ruili and the others explained. But, who would believe them now? “Surrender peacefully!” “In the end, justice will be served, and the sect will hold you accountable.” Facing the crowd’s verbal attacks, Bian Ruili and the others also showed ferocity. “Don’t push us too far!” They clenched their fists. “Oh, are you even daring to threaten?” “Infected by werewolf bites, they must crave human flesh.” “They can no longer be considered our kin.” A few radicals shouted, completely enraging Bian Ruili and the others, who immediately charged out, sparking a battle. Bang bang bang, an intense battle unfolded, incredibly fierce. Though Bian Ruili and the others were outnumbered, as the fight began, they entered a different state. —Their bodies sprouted clusters of black fur, their fingers turned sharp and long, their mouths protruding, their noses recessed, completely resembling a hybrid of human and wolf. In this state, the strength and reflexes of Bian Ruili and the others significantly improved, and the black fur surprisingly provided them with tremendous defensive power, so they were not at a disadvantage in facing so many opponents. After all, Shi Hao and his group consisted of only thirteen people, and Shi Hao hadn’t joined the fight yet. After paying a huge price, Bian Ruili and the others were finally wiped out. —After the brutal battle, their mental states suffered deeply, fighting to the death with no retreat, indistinguishable from those werewolves. However, the group also gained several injured members. “Anyone bitten or scratched by werewolves could possibly become new werewolves!” someone said, and with their intelligence, they could deduce that much. The injured ones turned pale. “What do you want to do?” “Please don’t stay within the team.” someone suggested. “No, they must be killed.” Another held a different opinion, “We can’t let them hurt others!” Unable to reach a consensus, ultimately, the side advocating letting them go prevailed. If conflict arose, who knew who would get injured next, and naturally, no one wanted to take that risk of being the injured person. Thus divided, Shi Hao’s group had only nine left, and they continued their journey. However, after just half a day, they encountered another werewolf attack, which resulted in the death of two as a price to finally resolve this batch of werewolves. But after their rest, yet another person was found hanging upside down on a nearby tree, their insides spilled, blood everywhere. Faced with this scene, everyone was in disbelief. They had already expelled the injured from the group, so how could there still be a mysterious killer? Who could it be, just who? Now, only a mere six people were left. If the killer was among them, it had to be one of the six. Of course, it couldn’t be oneself, so among the other five, who was the suspect? In such suspicion, they traveled again, and predictably, they encountered another pack of werewolves. In the fierce battle, no one died this time, but three were injured. This time, they didn’t drive the injured three out of the team; they had too few people left, and if they did, what would happen when they encountered werewolves again? However, the uninjured were suspicious of the injured, and vice versa, thus the two sides didn’t dare stay close, but settled in separate areas, clearly divided. The uninjured were only Shi Hao, Zhong Zecheng, and Zuo Huanheng; once they rested, they went to find the other three, only to find three corpses. Hanging upside down, innards removed, the same manner of death. Instantly, Zhong Zecheng stepped back a few paces, watching Shi Hao and Zuo Huanheng with utmost vigilance. Only the three of them were left; if the killer wasn’t him, it had to be either Shi Hao or Zuo Huanheng, possibly both!
