"What?" I pulled the fan out of my pocket, knocked on it in frustration, and suddenly felt useless.
"This is not a child's play." Zhu Xuan glanced at me casually, "The Angry Beast is not the same as the lonely ghost you have dealt with before. It is a monster that has been causing harm to one side thousands of years ago. How could it be possible? It was easily defeated."
"but… "
"There is nothing but." Zhu Xuan interrupted me, his pupils constricted and looked like the eyes of a beast for a moment, "I have already planned it. Although your magic weapon looks like a decoration, but If the beast is weakened enough, there is a great chance to seal it. The beast has only two weaknesses, water and its heart hidden under the feathers on its neck. If I burn my power with the determination to die If not, I am still 80% sure that I will die with it."
"But you don't have to do that! I can call Wen Jiubai over, he can definitely do it!" I looked at Zhuxuan and realized that he was serious. He really intends to sacrifice himself to deal with the monster!
"I know, but I don't know your demon master, and I don't trust him." Zhu Xuan said seriously, "Besides, even if he is really as powerful as you said, when he arrives here , I don’t know how many people will die. Time is life, even when we are chatting here, the beast outside may be attacking innocent people.”
I opened my mouth and said after a while, "You've already made up your mind, haven't you?"
Zhu Xuan nodded, "Before you showed up, I had already made up my mind. This is my unshirkable responsibility. Even for Ye, I must complete this task."
"But why?" I asked eagerly, "You are not a human being, why do you have to sacrifice yourself for these irrelevant people? You can also... just run away, far away, no one will Blame it on you."
Zhuxuan laughed when he heard what I said, and shook his head, "No, Gu Yu, I can never escape the shackles of human beings. Because we were born in the beliefs of human beings and survive on your memories. Monsters and Human beings are forever bound together, and no matter how powerful we are, we are nothing more than dust compared to the billions of humans in the world."
I was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that Wen Jiubai had said something similar, but I couldn't remember when he said it and why he said it.
"It's midnight now, you'd better go to sleep for a while." Zhu Xuan smiled, then turned and left the rooftop.
I looked at his back and suddenly felt a strange idea lingering in my mind.
— Am I missing something
"Wait, Zhuxuan!" I stopped him and asked eagerly, "What did you just say?"
Zhu Xuan turned his head and looked at me inexplicably, "What did you say?"
"Yes, what did you just say?"
"Uh... I said you'd better go to sleep for a while."
"No, not that sentence! Before!" I asked eagerly.
"Before... I said, compared with human beings, we are just dust?" Zhu Xuan's expression became more puzzled.
"No, it's not, and it's not this sentence either." I tried to think hard, "It's what you guys said about the beast. You said it has two weaknesses, the heart and what?"
"I said... the water and the heart at the neck." Zhu Xuan was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"That's right! That's it!" I shouted excitedly, "It's water! You said that water is the shortcoming of the beast! That's right, we can use this to set a trap for the beast! Tell me quickly, Why is the angry beast afraid of water?"
"Uh... it's not afraid of water." Zhu Xuan turned around and explained seriously, "Because the Angry Beast is very vain, it cherishes its feathers, so if these feathers get wet, it will affect its judgment in battle At the same time, the feathers that absorb water will also affect the flexibility of its body. These are some experiences I have summed up in the process of fighting it. However, if you want to cause trauma to it, you still have to attack the heart position under its neck Okay... Besides, its body is too huge, how much water is needed to affect it."
"No, no, we don't need to prepare water by ourselves!" Looking at Zhu Xuan's still blank expression, I pointed to the sky excitedly, "Look!"
"What?" Zhu Xuan looked at the empty sky, confused, "What's wrong?"
"Sky, you just said that!" I said with a smile.
Soon, Zhu Xuan's expression changed from confusion to surprise, "Yes, why didn't I expect that! It's going to rain tomorrow!"
———————
"Shi Yitong! Shi Yitong! Don't sleep, get up!"
Shi Yitong sat up from the bed in a daze, and finally woke up with my magic voice piercing his ears.
"What's the matter...it's only half past five in the morning, why are you in a daze?" Shi Yitong complained, and lay down on the bed again while hugging the quilt, "Don't disturb me, I'll sleep for a while..."
"Sleep ass, get up!" I lifted Shi Yitong's quilt, and the kid was so sleepy that his pants almost fell off, "We are going to seal the beast! Su Xiaoyun and Zhuxuan are outside, just waiting is you!"
"What?" Shi Yitong jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, "Seal? What the hell, didn't you say we were helpless yesterday? Why are you going to fight today? Are you sure you didn't take us to die!"
"Today is very different from yesterday, because it is raining today!" I said excitedly.
That's right, there are dark clouds outside the window at this time, and thick clouds are pressing in the sky. Suddenly there was a thunderclap, illuminating the outside of the window, and then the raindrops fell with a clatter. It's raining heavily outside.
"Zhuxuan said that this is a thunderstorm, although it is very big, it will not last for a long time, so we must seize the opportunity!" I pulled Shi Yitong's arm and pulled him out of the bed.
"Hey, wait, you should explain it to me! What chance?"
"There's no time, hurry up, don't delay!"
In this way, not long after, the three of us plus Zhuxuan, the four of us left the small hotel and rushed into the rainstorm.
It was windy and windy outside, and in the strong wind and lightning, they couldn't even hold up their umbrellas, and they were blown to one side or another by the strong winds. In the end, everyone simply gave up holding umbrellas and walked forward in the heavy rain.
"If the method you said doesn't work, I swear I will definitely kill you, Gu Yu!" Su Xiaoyun shouted loudly while protecting her flying hair with her hands.
"Me too!" Shi Yitong walked in front of Su Xiaoyun and shouted, "It would be interesting if we were killed by lightning instead of being eaten by angry beasts today!"
I ignored Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong's complaints, and walked side by side with Zhuxuan at the front of the line. While covering my eyes with my hands to prevent too much rainwater from entering my eyes, I turned my head to ask Zhuxuan.
"Zhuxuan! Where is the beast?"
"With such a heavy rain, it is likely that it cannot hide in its own cave in the deep mountain. We have to find it!" Zhu Xuan shouted.
"Do you know exactly where the cave is?" I asked.
"I only have an approximate direction, but it shouldn't be wrong!" Zhu Xuan said firmly.
I nodded, turned around, and waved to Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong who were following behind, "Come here! Now I will tell you about my plan!"
———————
In the downpour, the Angry Beast curled up in the cave to hide from the rain. Its huge body almost occupied 80% of the cave. Those big blood-red eyes stared at the storm outside, as if they were thinking about something.
At this moment, the erect needle pupils of the Angry Beast suddenly tightened. It stared at a point in front of it, and slowly stood up. Its huge beak opened, revealing bloody fangs, and at the same time, the feathers all over its body stood up. stand up. It is on alert.
And the reason was Zhuxuan who suddenly appeared in front of the cave.
Zhu Xuan, still in human form, stood in front of Chen Beast like a child facing a mountain, but Zhu Xuan showed no fear on his face, instead he looked directly into Chen Beast's eyes.
"Yes, it's me." Zhu Xuan said calmly, "I know what you're thinking, you must be wondering why I still have the guts to come to you, right? But I just came, right in front of you."
Ang Beast stood upright and roared towards the sky, and soon, a deep voice rang directly in Zhu Xuan's brain.
"No, you guessed wrong." The penetrating deep voice was mixed with anger and hatred. "What I'm thinking about is how to completely destroy you from the inside out. Kill you, eat you , crush you!"
"Yes, of course. It's not much different from what I guessed." Zhu Xuan smiled instead of anger, showing a nice smile, "Your tone of voice is like a villain monster in a TV series. Tell me, Oh, why do you hate me so much?"
The giant roared.
"I hate that I don't need a reason!"
"No, most hatreds in the world have reasons. Because of love, jealousy, profit, or vanity, and I think you have all of them, don't you?" Zhu Xuan looked up at the behemoth, raised his hand and stroked A handful of drenched bangs, while stepping back seemingly leisurely, the whole body was soaked in the rain, "You want to kill me, because I have many things that you will never have. Because you are jealous, because You'll never understand why I always go further than you."
The Angry Beast roared angrily, pressing on Zhuxuan step by step, and soon its head was exposed in the pouring rain.
"I don't envy you! You are weak, but I am strong! You don't even dare to show your real body, but hide in a human body, being a coward, a coward! I use a Even a claw can kill you easily, I am already countless times stronger than you!" The angry beast roared.
