Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 242 Calculation and Inference

Although Jiaozi and Fang Yixing were kicked for no reason, they did not gain nothing at all. At least they learned the truth about the hot spring water from Akutata.

Thinking of this, they decided to go back immediately and share the good news with their companions.

As luck would have it, when they returned, Di Qi had already returned, dragging Bubulu back with him. Given Bubulu's incredible strength, Di Qi was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to subdue him.

But Selena was still talking to Fanny, and it seemed like they had endless things to talk about.

It was not until Jiaozi started shouting exaggeratedly that everyone began to realize the purpose of their trip.

"It seems we came at a really bad time."

Fang Yixing thought he was being excluded, "Then I'll leave?"

"You can't go."

Yi Yin suddenly spoke seriously, "Let's think of a solution quickly. If we can't make the young lady realize what happened today, I'm afraid we'll be punished to stand there forever."

"That's right."

John also started to cry, "Fanny, please wake up. We haven't finished our target for today yet."

.

If the popularity of the Ten Shadow Kings were to be ranked, Shaka would definitely be among the top.

Even now, many years after Shaka disappeared, Shaka and the strange stories he created continue to influence generations of young people until today.

When Selina suddenly realized this, she found that her body had arrived in the hotel without her knowing.

With her were Bubulu and four others. Incidentally, there was also her new friend Fang Yixing.

As for John and Fanny, it was a pity that as long as the hot springs town existed, they would have to repeat their mechanical lives. For the sake of countless Lukes, this was what had to be done.

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's talk."

Jiaozi spoke first, "Brother Fang and I met a young lady with a bad temper, and we got some shocking news from her..."

"Wait, Jiaozi, let me speak."

Yi Yin raised his own objection, "The young lady finally regained consciousness. I think it is necessary to let her recall her memories."

"Ant sickle!"

Selina suddenly shouted, "So many sickle ants! There must be something wrong with the hot spring village, otherwise there wouldn't be so many sickle ants at once. Who knows who's raising them, and their purpose is to make us give up!"

"Hmm... maybe it's just a coincidence. The key lies in John's words. He said there might be a blizzard in the next two days. The sickle ants must have sensed this in advance, so they came out in full force to look for food."

Yiyin expressed his opinion, "If that's the case, then that's terrible. Based on my previous observations, hot spring resorts are mostly open-air hot springs. If a blizzard comes, it will greatly affect our... um... hot spring bathing..."

Yi Yin originally wanted to say that the snow would affect the progress of their mission, but considering that Fang Yixing was present, he finally decided to use a more gentle approach.

No one can predict how many days the blizzard will last. Although the tail-end team arrived a few days earlier, it does not mean that they can delay time unscrupulously.

However, if we take Selina's assumption into consideration, there is a hint of conspiracy behind the whole incident.

A monster that can cause snowfall over a large area...

This monster wasn't hard to guess; it was clearly a Starry Unicorn. Thinking of its owner, Yi Yin felt a little more weighed down. Could it be that Isabella was also involved in this incident?

Di Qi's subsequent remarks made Yi Yin even more convinced of this idea.

As for why it was Diqi... because Bubulu was excluded from the discussion from the very beginning.

"To make a long story short, Bubulu and I saw Huang Quan at the hot springs."

Di Qi was quite skilled at choosing words. "According to Huang Quan, he's the mysterious guest who booked the Tianzihao Hotel. He said he was just here for sightseeing, but everyone knows Huang Quan's character, so it's unclear how much truth there is in his words. But this suggests Ouroboros is very likely involved in this incident."

Although Bubulu might not understand, Diqi still couldn't bear to tell everyone about Bubulu's situation. Well, let's just save Bubulu's face.

"Uro... Boros?"

Seeing everyone talking, Fang Yixing felt like an old antique who knew nothing.

Jiaozi knew that hiding it like this wasn't a solution. Besides, they lived under the same roof with Fang Yixing, so there was a chance he'd find out. It would be better to tell him upfront.

"It's like this, Brother Fang. We're not ordinary tourists, but trainees from the Moore Cross Base, here to carry out a mission. I'm sorry I didn't explain this to you clearly before."

Jiaozi rubbed his hands while speaking to show that he was really helpless.

"Cross Base Recruitment Students...? In other words, you are actually Monster Masters?"

When he said this, Fang Yixing's eyes changed when he looked at them.

"Well, how could any normal person put a turtle on their head? If it's a Monster Master, then it makes sense."

"We're just trainees right now," Selina explained attentively. "We're still a long way from becoming true Monster Masters."

"Amazing, amazing..."

As Fang Yixing spoke, he put on an unfathomable smile.

"Well, let me tell you about what Brother Fang and I discovered. According to that young lady, the reason the hot spring water has the magical effect of rejuvenating people is because there is an A-level fire elemental monster called the Fire-Eating Scorpion hidden in the underground cave of the hot spring village. It can release toxins to temporarily eliminate free radicals in the human body, creating the illusion of 'rejuvenation'..."

"Stop! Jiaozi, can you just tell me the conclusion directly?" Yiyin felt like she was getting overwhelmed by what she had heard.

"Where to go, who to fight?"

"Everyone, please be patient and allow me to say a few words."

Fang Yixing cleared his throat. "Although I don't know what your mission is, or what you intend to do, since you've chosen to come to the hot spring town, you must be familiar with it. I suggest you wait a few days. Special hot springs are only open on specific dates. The Fire-Eating Scorpion monster will probably only become active on that day."

Yeah, they couldn't just dig down into the hot spring water to find the whereabouts of the Fire-Eating Scorpion, could they? Besides, even if they wanted to, John and Fanny wouldn't agree.

"It seems like this is the only way."

Although Di Qi said this, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Yes, the hot spring town is a bit too sparsely populated. Even if it wasn't peak tourist season, there shouldn't be so few people...
