Chapter 3999 Like a Human or Like a God

When I heard Meiling say that there were people outside, I was startled. I thought to myself, who else could be here in this deep mountain forest besides us?

Could it be that the Weasel spirit knew we were looking for it and came to us on its own?

I shook my head to keep myself awake and whispered to Meiling who was outside.

Meiling shook her head and said she didn't know. She was just a few dozen meters away from our tent, as if she was secretly observing us.

Upon hearing this, I became alert and immediately took out an invisibility talisman, slapped it on myself, intending to sneak over and see what kind of ghost was monitoring us.

I opened the tent a crack and quickly slipped out.

Thanks to the invisibility talisman, I don't need to worry about the other party discovering my presence.

After I came out, I looked around, searching for the person that the spirit had mentioned.

Upon closer inspection, wow, we actually spotted someone hiding behind a rock about thirty meters away from us, furtively peeking out with half their head.

After pinpointing the man's location, I quickly and quietly moved closer to him.

As I got closer to the man, I noticed something strange. His clothes were odd, like the uniforms worn by Japanese soldiers in TV shows, and he was wearing a hat. When I got closer, he seemed to sense something and hid his head behind a rock, turning his back to me. I couldn't see his face clearly.

At that moment, I took out the Shengxie Sword and was about to stab it into his thigh when the man suddenly spoke, which startled me.

"You've come... I know you're here," a somewhat shrill voice said, sounding very harsh and not like a human speaking.

Holy crap, what the hell is this thing?

Startled, the man suddenly turned his head slowly, and I immediately saw his face clearly, which startled me.

The man's face was covered in hair, with a yellowish skin, a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and small, green eyes.

What exactly is this thing? You could call it a weasel, but it looks almost like a normal person, except for its face, which resembles a weasel.

I'm skilled and daring, so I revealed myself, pointing my magic sword at him and asking, "What the hell are you?"

The little Japanese soldier, who looked like a weasel, suddenly gave a sinister smile: "Do I look more like a human or a god to you?"

For a moment, my mind went blank. What the hell is going on? A weasel is asking for a title?

I've only heard about this, I've never actually seen it.

However, I think quickly and immediately said, "You look like the Buddha to me, but do I look like the world's richest man?"

"You're shameless!"

The thing opposite him suddenly cleared its eyes and straightened its back. The next moment, it turned around and ran away at an extremely fast speed.

His running style was also very strange. He landed on all fours and instantly moved dozens of meters away from me. He really looked like a weasel running.

I immediately activated the Divine Firmament Nine Miles and chased after that ghostly thing.

He was fast, and I wasn't slow either. In the blink of an eye, I caught up with that ghostly thing. Just as I was about to stab him with my sword, he suddenly swayed and disappeared into a hole.

The hole was very small, about the size of my thigh. I was dumbfounded. How did he manage to squeeze into such a small hole? It was as if he knew some kind of contortionist technique.

I stood at the entrance of the cave, stunned for a moment, feeling that I couldn't squeeze in, and neither could Ziba.

Just then, the spirit floated over and glanced at the cave entrance.

"Meiling, did you see that just now? Was it Huang Daxian?" I looked at Meiling.

"It doesn't seem like it; there's no demonic aura about him." Meiling also looked puzzled.

"Where did he go? Can you sense it?" I asked again.

“I can sense that this cave leads to another place, and it’s getting farther and farther away from us.” Meiling looked into the distance.

"Come on, take me to him," I called to the spirit.

"Don't go yet. What if it's a diversionary tactic? If you leave, Master Qiao and Little Fatty might be in danger," Meiling said with some concern.

“That makes sense. I’ll invite Third Master Qiao and the others along, so we can look out for each other.” I nodded.

It still has to be my precious Meiling. With my wife away, Meiling is my strategist.

Since the spirit can sense where that ghost is hiding, I'm not worried that it can escape.

Immediately, I returned to the campsite with Enchantress.

When I got back, I found that Uncle Qiao and the others were all awake, but Little Fatty was fast asleep in the tent, snoring loudly.

Seeing me return, Third Master Qiao hurriedly came over to greet me: "Young Master Wu, I heard you talking to someone just now. When I came out of the tent, you were gone. Where did you go?"

"There was someone acting suspiciously near our camp just now, so I went to chase after him," I explained.

"People?" Third Master Qiao looked surprised. "In this godforsaken place, who else could be here besides us?"

"Actually, it can't really be called a person. I went closer to take a look, and the person was wearing a Japanese soldier's uniform, had a yellowish face, and ran very fast. I had already caught up with him, but then he suddenly disappeared into a hole. The hole wasn't even as big as my head." I was a little annoyed.

"Young Master Wu, you haven't run into a witch doctor, have you?" Third Master Qiao asked in alarm.

"It shouldn't be, I didn't sense any demonic energy from that monster," I said seriously.

"This is really amazing. What exactly is a weasel dressed in a Japanese military uniform?" Uncle Qiao asked, puzzled.

"Never mind what it is, the spirit can sense where it is. Everyone get up and come with me to look for it. If we don't get rid of this thing, it might cause us trouble in the future," I called out.

As I spoke, I walked over to Little Fatty's tent, patted his big belly, and told him to get up quickly.

Little Fatty looked unhappy; he was sleeping soundly, but I still dragged him out of bed.

Without time to pack our things, our group, led by Meiling, went to find the guy in the Japanese military uniform.

Before long, we arrived near the entrance to the cave where the monster had crawled in. I pointed it out to Third Master Qiao and said that the ghostly thing had crawled in from here.

Third Master Qiao squatted down at the cave entrance and looked around, his face also filled with disbelief.

Just as Master Qiao was observing the cave entrance, the Green-Headed Golden-Eyed Beast seemed to have discovered something. It barked twice at Master Qiao and then ran off into the distance.

"Something's up. Let's keep a close watch on the Green-Headed Golden-Eyed Beast." Third Master Qiao waved his hand.
