Chapter 358 Madman
The night was as thick as ink. The snake demon rushed towards the General's Mansion in a hurry. It was running at lightning speed all the way, as fast as a black phantom.
When it arrived, it saw the crazy beggar staggering in the mansion.
The snake demon instantly rushed into the mansion like a black lightning and landed steadily next to the beggar.
In the blink of an eye, the snake demon transformed into a human form, wearing a black robe that fit tightly against his slender body, revealing a bit of mystery. His triangular eyes rolled around, a hint of doubt flashed across them, and they glowed coldly in the moonlight.
Just as he stood firm, a strong wind blew past and the Golden Eagle King flew in with its huge wings flapping.
The Golden Eagle King glanced at the snake demon and the beggar, his mouth curled up in disdain, and he kept muttering in his heart: "Everyone says he is a lunatic, what's so strange about it? I really don't understand what this long worm is thinking."
Thinking of this, it deliberately flapped its wings hard, and a strong wind suddenly swept over, blowing the snake demon and the beggar's bodies violently.
"You stinky eagle, can you stop being so childish!" The snake demon staggered and stood firm. His face turned ashen with anger. He glared at the Golden Eagle King fiercely and cursed in a low voice.
The Golden Eagle King pretended not to hear and flew into the courtyard triumphantly, leaving the snake demon standing there stamping its feet in anger.
The snake demon calmed himself down and looked back at the beggar.
He had searched this mansion carefully before, not leaving out any corner, and couldn't even find a hidden dog hole. But this beggar appeared here inexplicably, which was really weird.
Full of curiosity, the snake demon decided to find out what was going on, so he followed the beggar slowly.
The crazy beggar Li Yunyi was completely unaware of this and continued wandering around the dilapidated house in a daze, sometimes reaching out to grab things and sometimes mumbling incoherent words.
The moonlight shone on him, outlining his bony figure. He bumped into the broken wall, making a dull sound, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain. He just grinned foolishly, and then squatted in the corner, holding his head with his hands, shivering.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Yunyi suddenly shuddered and regained consciousness. He suddenly realized that there was another person next to him. He froze instantly, his heart pounding, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes rolled around and he looked around vigilantly. After confirming that he was still in the General's Mansion, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, doubts flooded my mind: "Why did a stranger suddenly appear in this house? What happened when I was unconscious just now?"
The snake demon kept staring at Li Yunyi and keenly noticed his changes.
When following this madman before, he was not afraid at all, but now he is obviously scared.
The snake demon's heart moved, realizing that the man was awake.
It became very interested and raised its head, looking Li Yunyi up and down. It saw that his hair was disheveled like a bird's nest, and his face was dirty and covered with dust. Only his eyes, in the moment of clarity, showed a trace of clarity that was completely different from when he was crazy.
The two of them just stood there in a stalemate, neither of them moving.
Li Yunyi's legs gradually became numb, but he didn't dare to move at all. He was complaining in his heart. He had originally planned to go to the main courtyard to accompany his younger sister, but now he was being watched closely by this mysterious man and couldn't go anywhere.
Just as he was thinking, he felt dizzy and his clear eyes gradually became cloudy under his messy hair.
The snake demon looked at Li Yunyi's appearance, which was sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy, and found it extremely novel.
Seeing that he had fallen into madness again, the snake demon lost interest in following him and turned around and ran towards the main courtyard.
"Boss, Boss! You can never imagine what I discovered!"
The snake demon had a mysterious look on his face as he quickly approached Murong Ling'er, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. He lowered his voice and said, "Boss, let me tell you, there's something strange about this madman. He's definitely not an ordinary person! Look at this mansion. The walls are as high as a hill. It's impenetrable, with not even a small crack to sneak into. Yet, he appeared inside without anyone noticing. Isn't that bizarre?"
After a pause, the snake demon licked his lips and continued his vivid description, "I followed him all the way. He seemed to walk madly, but he was actually very familiar with the layout of this house. When I came over just now, I saw him wandering outside the yard. His eyes, when he occasionally cleared his mind and looked around, seemed to be recalling something important."
As the snake demon spoke, he gestured with his hands and feet, in a clear and organized manner, not missing any details.
After listening to this, Murong Ling'er nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the snake demon with recognition. Compared with the Golden Eagle King who could only make a noise, the snake demon was meticulous and observant, and was indeed much smarter.
The snake demon keenly caught Murong Ling'er's admiring look, and instantly became excited as if it had been injected with chicken blood. Its chest puffed up high, and its tail almost reached the sky.
It squinted at the Golden Eagle King and, deliberately raising its voice, said in a sarcastic tone, "What a sharp-nosed and monkey-faced creature! All it knows is to fly around aimlessly, without even looking around carefully, like a fool."
"Who are you talking about? You ugly snake, if you have the guts, don't hide, challenge me in a duel!" When the Golden Eagle King heard this, his fur stood up instantly, his feathers stood up, his neck stretched out, and he flapped his wings angrily at the snake demon, as if he wanted to eat the snake demon alive.
"Hmph! You? Don't you think about yourself and overestimate your own abilities?" The snake demon showed no sign of weakness. With a flash of his body, he put on a posture ready to fight at any time, and kept provoking others.
Murong Ling'er looked at the two funny guys who were about to quarrel again, shook her head helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to this farce, and walked towards the study in the outer courtyard.
Along the way, the moonlight shone on Murong Ling'er, outlining her resolute figure. The broken walls and ruins around her were dim in the night, as if telling stories of the past.
Soon, Murong Ling'er arrived at the study in the outer courtyard.
The scene before him was a mess and shocking. When the house was searched, this was obviously the key search area and the entire study was turned upside down.
As soon as I opened the door, a stale and decayed smell hit me in the face. The ground was full of deep pits dug randomly, like hideous wounds.
The bookshelves that were once neatly arranged have now been dismantled, with wooden boards scattered all over the floor and the books on them long gone.
There were several large holes chiseled out on the wall, exposing the bricks and stones, making it look particularly desolate.
Murong Ling'er walked slowly into the study, taking every step carefully, for fear of stepping on the potholes.
She looked around, feeling doubtful.
Such a big fight doesn't seem to be just for the purpose of stealing property.
If it was for gold, silver and treasures, he would not have destroyed the entire study like this, even the floor and walls were not spared.
With such a large mobilization, they must be looking for something extremely important.
Murong Ling'er squatted down and gently stroked the hole on the ground. The scene of those people's frantic search that year emerged in her mind.
What are they looking for? A confidential document? Or a mysterious treasure?
This question was like a fog, shrouding Murong Ling'er's heart, making her more curious and more determined to uncover the truth.
