Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 320 Past Participants

"Ah... got kicked out."

Although this was an expected result, it was still a bit unexpected. If I had known earlier, I would have taken out the Seven Saints Summoning Card and played with it.

"Senior Xuanwu, do you think Senior Baihu will succeed?"

“(Of course.)”

Xuanwu seemed to be thinking about something with his eyes closed.

"Oh, I see. You must have asked Longma Bu to do the calculation, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Yin immediately sensed something was amiss. Under the high-pressure conditions of Uqbar, they simply didn't have the luxury of safe, free time to summon monsters. Therefore, Xuanwu couldn't possibly allow Longma to activate the "Heluo Shutu" ability.

"(It seems you've figured it out. All we can do now is trust Baihu.)"

What Xuanwu said was true, because they simply did not have the strength to compete with the Ten Shadow Kings now.

"Of course I know that, but the question is—Senior Xuanwu, what should we do now? We can't just waste three days doing nothing, right?"

In fact, Xuanwu already had a place he wanted to go in his mind.

"You mean going to the Adventurer's Guild?"

Yi Yin said, "Do you want to take on some two-person missions? I don't think that's necessary at all. We don't need Luke anymore, and it would be very troublesome to get involved with other people."

"(At least we can summon monsters there. White Tiger has the only key, so we can't go home. Do you understand?)"

"That's it..."

Damn it, maybe he should have thought twice about locking the door before leaving.

.

Adventurers Guild.

Today's Catherine is just like Catherine of thousands of days and nights before, still entertaining the adventurers coming and going.

But Yiyin didn't want to stay here any longer. After asking Catherine if there were any rooms left, she and Xuanwu went directly to the dilapidated room.

Just like the previous time, signs of damage were still there, indicating that no one else had lived in their room.

"I don't think Uesugi will come again this time."

Yi shook his head, trying to dispel the thought. In Uqbar, one can never be too cautious. There's no shortage of gamblers and scoundrels here.

Seeing that no one was following him, Yiyin took out the Diamond Card No. 1 and summoned the Green-haired Turtle.

At the same time, Xuanwu also summoned Longma.

Yiyin had previously exchanged some food from Catherine, and now he could finally feed them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaolu."

Yi Yin was genuinely happy to see the green-haired turtle chewing its food. The fact that it could still eat showed that it was still healthy...

No, why would I think of this for no reason? Human infectious diseases shouldn't be effective against monsters, right?

"(Can you still fight? Come to think of it, you can't do it anymore...)"

After feeding Longma, Xuanwu patiently asked Yiyin.

"Huh? It seems like that..."

Now, Yiyin finally has time to analyze his current strength.

The Green Turtle previously had three ways to upgrade, namely jump upgrade, joint expansion upgrade and blackening upgrade. Except for the joint expansion upgrade, the other two upgrade methods have been blocked.

"(Actually, even before I arrived at the Tern Continent, I'd been wondering what the fundamental difference between us and other worlds is. Monsters, of course. The people of Blue Star have been spontaneously summoning monsters from the Monster Planet to Blue Star for a long time. I'm not convinced that there are no traces of monsters on this continent.)"

"(The relationship between humans and monsters hasn't always been harmonious. Families once known as monster hunters are actively hunting monsters, while others are hostile to them..."

“Like Truman.”

For some reason, Yiyin suddenly remembered the crazy man who had put them in a desperate situation on the Misty Island. His crazy cry when he finally blew himself up was still very memorable.

"Xuanwu-senpai, what do you think? Are you saying that Uqbar is deliberately hiding information about the monsters because he's planning something big? If that's the case, I'm afraid we're powerless to stop him."

"(Of course you can. Because you've always done it.)"

Hearing Xuanwu's praise, Yiyin couldn't help but blush. It seemed that he was quite capable.

"(Ever since your green-haired turtle demonstrated its ability to leap and upgrade before me, it has shown many possibilities in my eyes. You, too, have many possibilities, but... all these possibilities ultimately point in the same direction. For you, that is the fate you must face.)"

"What on earth does this mean? It seems like each of you has a lot of secrets."

Yi Yin shook his head. "Come to think of it, Senior Xuanwu, has Chairman Tianyi ever told you about me before? It's about my identity as a 'previous generation'."

"(Perhaps Qinglong would know. Chairman Tianyi trusts her the most among us.)"

"Senior Qinglong..."

When I thought about Qinglong’s slightly strange behavior before, was she deliberately keeping a distance from me?

Speaking of which, Tianyi is originally from the Anbu, so how much can we believe what he says?

"lets change a topic."

Yiyin was too lazy to consider these meaningless questions. "No matter how long we talk about such vague topics, they won't feel real. Sister Xuanwu, are you feeling okay recently? Is the mission with Uesugi difficult for you? If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me right away. The longer you delay, the worse it will be for you..."

If only Raphael hadn't been lost.

Yi Yin thought this in his heart, feeling extremely annoyed. If Xuanwu had taken Raphael, he would definitely be completely cured, and there would be no need to look for Luokakaka anymore.

At this moment, Yi Yin didn't know that while he was thinking about this, Raphael had already passed it to Bubulu through Isabella and solved Sibu Xiang's hysteria.

"(It's nice to be with you guys like this.)"

Xuanwu smiled calmly, "(If it weren't for this, I would really be homeless. Fortunately, you are here, so I don't have to..."

"Hey, Senior Xuanwu, did you laugh just now?"

Yiyin felt that he should probably get his eyesight checked.

"(…I just can't speak easily, it's not like I have facial paralysis.)"

Xuanwu's smile instantly faded. "(Also, you should say 'You look so pretty when you smile.')"

"You're right. I'll definitely improve next time. As for now..."

Yi Yin really didn't want to admit that for the next three days, he would have to rest in the Adventurer's Guild, an extremely shabby place.

On the bright side, they were no longer D-rank adventurers who could be manipulated at will, so they no longer had to keep watch.

"Good night, Xuanwu-senpai."
