Chapter 13: Who's the Monster Here

Elon immediately took the system and scanned the crystal.

  [An energy crystal used to seal a demonic evil, and the demon sealed in it seems to have escaped.]

  "So it is." Elon murmured.

  It turns out that the demonic evil sealed in the crystal should be the village scarecrow.

  Maybe the crystal was in disrepair, maybe the young man was compelled, in any case the scarecrow just escaped.

  And the short sword inside is also used against scarecrows.

  "Not for nothing."

  Elon reached out, plunged right inside the crystal, and took out the short sword that was slightly longer than the palm of his hand.

  Then another look with the system.

  [A nameless short sword, very sharp, seems to be used against some demons and evils.]

  His own guess was not wrong.

  But this scene.

  Took everyone in the room by surprise.

  TONY and the others, as well as the viewers in the live broadcast room, all stared with wide eyes.

  Just read it right.

  He used his hand and stuck it right into the crystal?

  "I'm super, that's crystal, it's a rock that's harder than flesh and blood and bone!"

  "You just stuck it in, are your hands made of iron?"

  "Suddenly it feels as if he didn't even need to use his strength to crush those two scarecrows."

  "Who the hell is the monster!"

  A few people's live streams were rolling in with pop-ups.

  That scene just now was truly appalling.

  There were a bunch of viewers who were about to pee their pants.

  So fierce.

  Are you really a newbie?

  Not a boss?

  Elon noticed the shocked looks on the faces of several people next to him and asked, "What are you doing?"

  Being asked that, they finally came back to their senses.

  Several people shook their heads, adjusting their minds and soothing their souls.

  "What is it?"

  lvan asked suspiciously from the sidelines, a sword pulled out of a crystal?

  A crystal sword?

  Sword in the Stone?

  "It can restrain those scarecrow swords."

  Elon said slowly, "Those scarecrows, they should be terrified of the sword."

  "Really!"

  Hearing this, TONY's eyes immediately lit up.

  That's an important prop for accomplishing the mission.

  "With this, we'll never have to be afraid of those scarecrows again!"

  A short sword that could restrain a scarecrow was definitely a divine weapon.

  Elon casually tossed the short sword into TONY's arms and said, "You can have this."

  TONY clutches her short sword and stands with a dumbfounded look on her face.

  That's an important mission prop.

  How it just handed itself over!

  "This ..."

  TONY said hastily, "It's not good for me to take something so important."

  "If you don't want it, throw it away." Elon said calmly.

  Because he really couldn't look at the short sword.

  Let's not talk about class.

  A sword that doesn't even have a name.

  What's the point?

  Inside his Sword Scroll, there were still three famous swords that were powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth lying quietly now.

  Compare it to the sword in the sword book.

  This short sword, it's like a weed on the side of the road.

  Didn't even bother to look at it more than once.

  It's still too heavy to hold in your hand.

  "Gone."

  Elon said, "Go back to the village and ask who's been in the backcountry lately."

  Because now the system's guiding task has changed.

  "Current mission: return to the village and investigate the identity of the body."

  With that, he took the lead and headed outside.

  TONY looks incredulously at Elon's back.

  Did he really just hand over such a precious sword?

  How much faith is that in yourself?

  TONY feels like she's about to cry.

  It was imperative to keep the short sword safe, and even more important to use it to protect the teammates around you.

  "Definitely can't let Brother Elon down."

  He didn't realize that Elon was really not looking at the short sword.

  The others saw Elon go and followed, not daring to stay in the dark cave for too long at all.

  By the time Elon got back to the village, it was afternoon.

  Just after returning to the entrance of the village, several people saw the deputy village head at once.

  The young man, now standing in front of the village gate, stared at them coldly.

  TONY, lvan, and the others tense up.

  Because this deputy village chief, is really bad to talk to.

  Only Elon still strides towards the village.

  Right now he just wanted to get something to eat.

  Eat your fill before you have the strength to investigate whose body it is.

  "Why are you still here?" The deputy village head stopped Elon and asked in a cold voice.

  Elon looked at him and said with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, "We'll go later."

  "We're going back to the village now to get some things."

  The deputy village chief looked indifferent and didn't say anything.

  Elon then continued, "Ah Vice Village Chief, we just took a trip to the back of the mountain."

  The Deputy Village Chief's eyebrows, immediately stared.

  Although there wasn't much change in his expression, Elon still noticed that he cared about it.

  He really did care.

  Elon smiled faintly and went on, "We also found a cave in the back of the mountain."

  The deputy village head's face became grave.

  He asked, "You guys went in?"

  "Sure."

  Elon nodded and said, "Not only did we go in, we found a body in there."

  He observed the deputy village chief.

  He was found to be staring at him, looking as if he was thinking.

  So Elon added: "A body without skin."

  "Other than that, what else have you found?" The Deputy Village Chief asked in a cold voice.

  "Of course I have."

  Elon turns and waves TONY over.

  TONY clutches her short sword and runs along.

  The deputy village chief saw the short sword at a glance.

  Elon took the short sword and waved it in front of the deputy village chief and said, "We also found this short sword."

  The Vice Village Chief looked at the short sword that was close to his eyes and stiffly curbed the urge to step back.

  "Don't wave something so dangerous."

  "Not dangerous." Elon looked at the tension on the Deputy Mayor's face and said, "That's a pretty blunt short sword."

  "It's only dangerous to those demons and monsters."

  There was a pause.

  Elon sized up the Deputy Village Chief and said, "Does that mean you're not actually human, Deputy Village Chief?"

  The Deputy Village Chief's face immediately turned cold.

  "Nonsense."

  "Of course I'm human, I'm a quality human."

  Elon laughed.

  "I have a guess, and it's not necessarily right."

  He said slowly, "Someone in our village may have been replaced by a monster."

  The deputy village chief's face grew even colder.

  "What are you babbling about."

  "Everyone in the village is normal."

  "Believe it or not, it's up to you." Elon said without a care in the world, "We're leaving soon anyway, so you guys be good."

  After saying that, he returned the short sword to Tony and walked towards the village.

  "Wait."

  The Deputy Mayor suddenly called out to Elon.

  "You must be tired after traveling all the way from the Great Eastern Land, why don't you rest in our village for a few more days before leaving?"

  "Or let's do our part as hosts."

  He had already moved to kill in his heart.

  The men went into the cave, saw the body, and got the sword.

  Never let them leave here alive.

  Otherwise, the consequences are endless.

  Elon wasn't surprised.

  He didn't turn around, but said, "We're hungry now."

  The deputy village chief immediately said, "I'll ask someone to make food for you."

  "You don't have to do it, just send us some ingredients."
