C131 The Corpsewolf Was Actually a Human Pretending to be a Human?

"How is it? Still not here? " Ye Hongtian frowned and looked at Ye Li and asked.

Ye Li nodded with a frown. He lowered his head and pondered while saying, "Ye Ling and I have already searched the surroundings, but we didn't find any trace of the Corpseous Wolf."

Ye Hongtian sat by the bed and closed his eyes to think after hearing what Ye Li said.

They had been staying in the tribe for almost a week, but the Corpsewolf had yet to show up. It was supposed to be the appointed time, but the Corpsewolf seemed to have gone missing. They had no idea where it had gone.

Apart from the Corpsewolf, there was another thing that gave Ye Hongtian a headache. Zi Ming had ignored him for a week. Zi Ming did not even come out when Ye Hongtian was absorbing the purple mist.

Ye Hongtian had been shut out for a week, regardless of whether he was communicating with his consciousness or his mind. Ye Hongtian even felt that Zi Ming had left him. However, he was sure that Zi Ming was still there with the layer of purple silk wrapped around the ten thousand tree seeds.

Ye Hongtian did not take the matter of the Corpseous Wolf to heart at all. The most important thing at the moment was the matter of Zi Ming. It did not matter to him no matter how much time he wasted in the tribe. The only difference was that he did not get the first prize or the reward.

At that moment, Ye Li saw that Ye Hongtian had remained silent for a long time. He assumed that Ye Hongtian was at a loss regarding the matter. He said, "Young Master Hongtian, why don't we find the token first? After all, the selection of the Patriarch is more important."

Ye Hongtian's thoughts were interrupted by Ye Li's words. He glared at Ye Li and said, "Let's continue waiting. I don't believe that the Corpse-Corpse Wolf won't come out. Help me continue to investigate the tracks of the Corpse-Corpse Wolf."

Ye Li could not say anything when he saw Ye Hongtian's determination. He sighed and left Ye Hongtian's straw hut to continue investigating the Corpse-Eating Wolf.

After confirming that Ye Li had left, Ye Hongtian took out the beast core from his Cosmic Bag. What he needed to do now was to use the energy in the beast core to replenish his Qi, although it might not be enough.

After placing a thousand beast cores of different sizes around him, Ye Hongtian took a deep breath and stuffed one of the beast cores into his mouth. He opened the trunk and began absorbing the energy.

The beast core was instantly refined by the ten thousand tree seeds and then used by Ye Hongtian to replenish his Qi. The next second, Ye Hongtian's face looked like he had eaten shit.

It was because the energy in this beast core had only replenished his breath by a few words!

Although this was the core of a Sand Scorpion whose strength was around the sixth level of Qi Refining, the energy contained within was also much more than a piece of high-grade primeval stone.

"What... what else can I say? A prodigal prodigal, a wastrel, sigh." Ye Hong Tian suppressed the urge to curse and picked up another beast core to refine.

Ye Hongtian did not feel any pain from absorbing such a low level beast core. It was because the energy in the beast core was not enough to fill Ye Hongtian's teeth.

In the blink of an eye, all 1000 beast cores were absorbed by Ye Hongtian. However, the energy in these 1000 beast cores was only enough to complete the first layer of the Breath Holding Realm.

After absorbing the beast cores, Ye Hongtian stretched his body and walked toward the houses that were destroyed by the Corpseous Wolves. From now on, he wanted to investigate the matter himself.

As Ye Hongtian needed to rely on the houses to investigate, the tribe leader ordered the people in the tribe to stop repairing the houses.

Usually, it was Ye Li and Ye Ling who came to investigate the houses. In fact, Ye Hongtian had never been here before.

When he came to the front of the house, he saw Ye Ling standing in front of the claw mark of a house, touching her chin and lowering her head to think about something.

Ye Hongtian went up and greeted Ye Ling. Only then did Ye Ling realize that Ye Hongtian had already come to her side. She hurriedly bowed to Ye Hongtian.

Under normal circumstances, even if there was a mosquito flying by Ye Ling's side, she should have sensed it. But today was different, which made Ye Hong Tian also interested in the claw mark on the wall.

Ye Hong Tian looked at the claw marks on the wall and asked curiously, "What were you thinking about just now? So focused. Is there something wrong with the claw marks?"

Ye Ling pointed at the claw mark and asked back, "Young Master Hongtian, do you feel that there is something wrong with this claw mark?"

Ye Hong Tian was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly. He went to the front of the claw mark and observed it from left to right. Then, he frowned and shook his head at Ye Ling.

"It's not that Young Master can't tell. If it wasn't for the fact that I treated patients who were attacked by the Corpseous Wolves when I was studying medicine, I wouldn't have been able to tell either." Ye Ling said with a smile.

After saying that, she walked to the front of the claw mark. She took out a powder from her Qiankun bag and sprinkled it on the claw mark. After the claw mark was covered by the powder, it immediately emitted a faint green light.

Ye Ling looked at the green light on the claw mark with a serious expression and explained, "This faint green light is the poison on the zombie wolf's claw. Anyone who is scratched by the zombie wolf will be poisoned by it."

"I once saved a victim who was attacked by the Zombie Wolf. I detoxified the poison for him, so I'm not unfamiliar with the Zombie Wolf's poison."1

"However, the poison on the claw mark is different from the Zombie Wolf's poison. The two of them are very similar, but they are slightly gentler than the Zombie Wolf's poison."

"Not only is there a problem with the poison, there's something that the Corpsewolf doesn't have on the claw mark. It's the concept."

Ye Hongtian's eyes lit up after hearing Ye Ling's explanation. He touched the claw mark with his hand and released his soul power to make his senses sharper.

As expected, Ye Hongtian did sense the aura of the Concept on the marks. He was very familiar with the aura of the Concept, which was the aura of the Concept of Wind.

"You're right. It indeed contains the Concept of Wind. I didn't expect you to observe it so carefully, Ye Ling." Ye Hong Tian smiled and praised.

Ye Ling smiled slightly and said, "How can it be as good as Young Master Hong Tian? He even found out what kind of Concept it is."

Ye Ling was not surprised that Ye Hong Tian could detect the poetic perspective in the claw marks. She was already used to it. It was normal for anything to happen to Ye Hong Tian.

Ye Hong Tian pointed at his head and said in a low voice, "Don't forget that I can use soul power."

Ye Ling nodded. Her face turned serious as she said, "Young Master Hongtian, what I'm trying to say is that the 'monster' that attacked the tribe isn't actually the Corpse-Eating Wolf."

Ye Hong Tian was surprised when he heard that. He frowned and pondered for a moment before asking with his eyes wide open, "You want to say that the Corpseous Wolf is actually a human?"

Ye Ling nodded. She was not surprised that Ye Hong Tian had guessed what she was thinking, because it was impossible for low-level beasts to comprehend concepts, unless it was a beast that was specially raised by a large sect.

Ye Hongtian's expression turned serious when he saw Ye Ling admit it. He initially thought that the people in the secret realm were just like the people in the tribe. They were all mortals, but if the Corpsewolf was a human, it would be different.
