Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 113 The Disappearance of White Tiger

"Are you...Hanako?"

Yiyin guessed it immediately without any reason. With Kremlin as a precedent, it was no surprise that Huaying could transform into a human form.

"It's me. It seems you are smarter than my master. He was shocked when he saw me become like this just now." Huaying laughed.

"So what's the situation now? Long Kui, can your monster also transform into a human?"

Faced with Yiyin's question, Longkui had to move out reluctantly.

"This... When I woke up this morning, I saw a girl next to me. I was really shocked. The instructors said Huaying was one of the Five Poison Beasts, but I didn't know she had a human form."

"Alas, how could I meet a master like you."

Huaying held her forehead with her hand. "Your monster theory is so outdated. The monsters on Monster Planet are so diverse that they can't be summarized in a few words. As for me, it took me a long time to cultivate before I could transform into a human form. I was quite happy when I heard the call, but who knew I would meet such a useless master. Never mind, there are no useless monster masters, only useless monsters. As long as I can get out of there, I don't care who I follow."

Yi Yin hadn't wanted to get involved in the matter between Long Kui and Hua Ying, but he suddenly became interested in Hua Ying's story. Like the Koson Pterosaur, Hua Ying could speak human language, and she also retained memories of the Monster Planet. Perhaps she knew the Green Turtle's origins?

"Iyin, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Long Kui smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, when Huaying told me this, I unexpectedly accepted it. I guess it's the result of the spiritual connection between us. So when she said she could cure the congenital defects of our clones, I still believed her."

"hey-hey."

At this point, Huaying puffed out her chest confidently. "When I heard the call, I sensed that the Master was a person with extremely strong inner desires. This thirst for life is undoubtedly a hymn to hope. So, personally, I also hope to be by the Master's side. I'm not bragging, but with my abilities, healing him would be a piece of cake."

"The poison element is a very magical thing. I can charm and be merciless, heal and poison, all of these. It's a piece of cake."

Huaying looked at Longkui and said, "Originally, I wanted to spend thirty minutes healing the master, but now because of someone, I have to postpone it for the time being. But it doesn't matter, the master and I have plenty of time anyway."

"That may disappoint you."

Iin said, "Helala asked me to tell you that she hopes to form a four-person team with you to prepare for the upcoming team competition. If the team competition fails, the monster will be recovered by the Cross Base."

"Are you kidding? I don't want to go back to that kind of place."

Huaying's expression changed slightly, as if she was thinking of some unpleasant experience in the past.

"But—don't worry! Master, you won't lose as long as I'm here. Although my strength has been temporarily suppressed to D-rank because Master is too weak, I haven't forgotten the most basic operations at all."

After saying that, Huaying transformed itself and turned back into the form of the Five Poisonous Beasts. It floated gently beside Longkui, as if urging him to hurry up.

"Oh, by the way, Yiyin, I hope you can keep the fact that Huaying can transform into a human form a secret for me."

Before leaving, Long Kui reminded Yi Yin like this.

"I'm not a big talker. Don't worry."

After getting Yiyin's promise, Longkui left with Huaying.

"Judging from Huaying's behavior, she seems to be very opposed to Monster Planet. Heinrich also said that some unknown drastic changes occurred on Monster Planet, so is that why the monsters jumped to Blue Planet?"

Yiyin thought these things in her mind, but she could not get a definite answer.

Kremlin might know, but it is so special that he may not be willing to reveal it.

Forget it. It doesn’t affect me at the moment, so just pretend it doesn’t exist.

Yiyin yawned. He had finished the tasks assigned by Helala. Bubulu and the others should have been sent to sweep the floor. Now, finally no one could disturb his sleep.

"(Iin, are you there?)"

Yi Yin was startled because he clearly heard Xuanwu's voice! After Longma reached C-level, Xuanwu could use Longma's ability to forcibly connect with someone's spirit and then communicate with them through the air. Of course, the only person Xuanwu could contact now was Yi Yin.

"Senior Xuanwu, I'm here. Are you going to let me go off topic again? Come on, I'm mentally prepared." Yiyin's heart was calm.

"(I'm sorry to disturb your rest. But I see you're at Cross Base right now. The situation is urgent, and you're the only person I can think of. To make a long story short, this matter is related to Baihu. She disappeared on her way to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament, and the place she disappeared was near Cross Base. I suspect she was kidnapped by someone.)"

"What? Putting aside the question of what the No. 1 Martial Arts Association is, just based on Senior Sister Baihu's skills, I'm afraid no one can get close to her, right?"

"((︶︿︶) You don't understand, Yiyin. Some things can't be solved by force alone. Our Four Goddesses family has made many enemies and has been kidnapped and assassinated many times. But this time, we didn't receive any useful information. And according to my divination, Baihu will soon experience a disaster, and there is a high possibility of bloodshed... Please, Yiyin. Qinglong's dragon boat is gone, and we can't reach the Cross Base quickly. I can only rely on you.)"

"(I know you're no longer an exchange student at the Four Gods Base and have no obligation to do this. But I still hope you can help her out as a friend.)"

Xuanwu's words may be a bit morally blackmailing, but Yiyin really fell for it. Friends are very important to Yiyin, not to mention that he had seen Xuanwu's heart before. As someone who had also lost their mother, he was still willing to help her.

"Leave it to me, Senior Xuanwu. I will definitely bring the evildoer who kidnapped Senior Baihu to justice!"

I don’t know if the system will release any side quests this time, and Yiyin is looking forward to it.

"(Thanks……)"

Yi Yin had the illusion that Xuanwu's final words sounded somewhat happy. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for her, but what was certain was that, having lost the ties of her family, she could finally live for herself and her friends.

"The detective game begins again."

Yiyin felt that this incident was just like Xuanwu's coma and Suzaku's murder, a carefully planned conspiracy. However, unlike the previous two incidents, this incident took place at his alma mater, the Cross Base, and there were no helpers to help him.

and……

Yiyin did not want to, nor was he willing to, seek help from others.

No one knows how many traitors there are in the Cross Base.

The pure water spirits of the Saltwater Zone hinted that the current Cross Base was not peaceful, and indeed it was. These twin mentors each had their own backgrounds and difficulties, and the upper echelons might have been infiltrated by Ouroboros or some other organization.

I can't trust them completely. I can consider the tail-end team and the elite team, but they all have their own lives and may not have the time to help me.

Yiyin now needs someone he can completely trust, but this person is not currently in the Cross Base.

"If only Su'er were still here..."

Yiyin pursed her lips and once again thought of Isabella who was far away in Ouroboros.

"Hmm... Think about it, Iin. White Tiger-senpai's robe seems to have appeared on Herara, and Herara obtained it from Teacher Konaro. So maybe Teacher Konaro knows something."

Yi Yin began to organize his current thoughts:

"However, we can't be completely certain that Teacher Konaro is her. After all, the Ouroboros people once disguised her, and the Thousand-Faced Demon Moth may continue to appear at the Cross Base. But no matter what, this is still a clue."

Thinking of this, Yiyin decided to visit Teacher Konalo first.
