Chapter 683: Seed of Doubt

Long before Chen Tianyou discovered the bear demon, Zhou Yiqiao had already seen the bear demon flying towards everyone through his powerful spiritual consciousness.

Although the cultivation level of this bear monster is not very advanced, and it is only at the first or second level of Qi refining, for ordinary villagers in Haihe Village, it is already considered an invincible existence.

Of course, with Zhou Yiqiao's powerful strength in the middle Nascent Soul stage, it was impossible to watch the villagers of Haihe Village die at the hands of this bear demon.

Before entering the forest, he had secretly exerted a protective spiritual power on everyone.

The reason why he came forward now was naturally because he didn't want the villagers to discover his identity as an immortal cultivator.

After all, a small amount can lead to overflowing. No one can guarantee that after knowing Zhou Yiqiao's true identity, these villagers will not rely on the cause and effect of saving his life to blackmail him for a huge price.

Zhou Yiqiao's doing this can, on the one hand, prevent the friendly relationship that the two parties have finally established from deteriorating due to human greed.

Having said that, after Zhou Yiqiao appeared, this vicious bear demon instantly gave up attacking the villagers, and instead stared straight at Zhou Yiqiao without a trace of fear in his eyes.

After all, this bear demon has just entered the path of immortality. He is ignorant and fearless. He doesn't know Zhou Yiqiao's strength, so he will naturally not be afraid.

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head. He did not want to argue with a monster whose intelligence was not fully developed. He raised his right hand lightly and injected a spiritual power into the dagger in Chen Tianyou's hand.

The dagger, which was originally just forged from mortal iron, suddenly became a peerless artifact with the blessing of Nascent Soul's spiritual power.

There was a sonic explosion, and the dagger that could not pierce the bear demon's skin half a stick of incense was now completely engulfed in the opponent's heart.

The bear demon was in great pain and let out a shocking roar. His huge body shook violently, trying to get rid of this fatal dagger, but in vain.

"boom!"

The next second, the huge bear monster crashed onto the ground, splashing large amounts of gravel and filling the air with dust.

When the bear demon died, Zhou Yiqiao returned the bloody dagger to Chen Tianyou's hands, and then personally dragged the bear demon's body to Chen Tianyou.

After doing all this, he calmly found a more comfortable grassland and lay down.

......

Several hours passed.

Chen Tianyou, who was bathing in the blood of the bear demon, slowly woke up from a burst of severe pain all over his body.

He was surprised to find that his body, which had been scarred by the fierce bear attack, was now almost healed.

And beside him, there was a huge monster bear corpse lying!

Chen Tianyou was startled at first and subconsciously took a few steps back. Then he realized that the dagger in his hand was stained with the blood of the demon bear.

"This...did I kill this?"

He murmured to himself in disbelief, his heart so shocked that he couldn't control himself.

He was the only person present who had ever fought against the bear demon, and he knew deeply the true strength of this bear demon.

It's not that Chen Tianyou is inferior to himself, but that he clearly knows that with his little skill, it is impossible to kill the bear demon in front of him.

"Is it little brother Zhou?"

Chen Tianyou suddenly remembered that before he fell into coma, he seemed to hear Zhou Yiqiao's voice, and this absurd idea came to the boy's mind.

This thought had just appeared before it was immediately put to death by Chen Tianyou himself.

"Impossible. Although I am not a martial arts expert, I have been immersed in martial arts for more than ten years, so my vision cannot be wrong."

"Brother Zhou's figure doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all."

"What's more, such a powerful bear demon is difficult for even the martial arts supreme to match. I'm afraid only cultivators like the Chen family can fight against it."

A seed of doubt was planted in Chen Tianyou's heart.

"Well, no matter what the reason is, at least it is a fact that the bear demon is dead. The top priority is to send everyone back to the village."

Thinking of this, Chen Tianyou endured the pain in his body, searched everywhere, and finally found Zhou Yiqiao on the grass.

He stretched out his hand to test and was overjoyed to see that Zhou Yiqiao was still breathing.

"Great! Little brother Zhou is still alive."

As Zhou Yiqiao is currently the only doctor in Haihe Village, under such a situation, Chen Tianyou is naturally more concerned about his life safety.

Zhou Yiqiao, who was sleeping, heard Chen Tianyou's murmur and slowly opened his eyes.

He pretended to be frightened, and after a long time, he let out a sigh of relief as if he had cleared up Chen Tianyou.

"Brother Chen, has the bear demon left?"

Chen Tianyou helped Zhou Yiqiao up, then pointed at the corpse of the bear demon beside him.

"The bear demon is dead, and there is no danger."

"But everyone was dispersed because of the appearance of the bear demon. Life or death is unknown at this moment, and we have to trouble little brother Zhou again."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, indicating that he understood, and then together with Chen Tianyou, they began to search the entire mountain forest for the villagers of Haihe Village.

This process took the two of them another half an hour, and by the time everyone was found, it was almost evening.

Because of Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual protection, although all the villagers were more or less injured, none of them died due to this accident.

After the disaster, everyone was happy.

Not only were everyone happy to have saved a life, but they were also happy that the meat on the bear demon was enough to support the entire Haihe Village through this winter.

All villagers in the upper realm who are able to move participate in the decomposition of the bear demon.

When the sky turned completely dark and the villagers came to search because they were worried about the safety of the hunting team, they found that the hill-like bear demon had been completely broken down by everyone.

Each person held a large piece of fat monster meat in their hands and left with a smile on their face, leaving only the mess and debris on the ground, showing that there had been a fierce battle before.

Chen Tianyou took the initiative to stop and looked at the villagers who were gradually walking away, as well as Zhou Yiqiao who was chatting with the villagers, and became even more confused.

When he took the initiative to help Zhou Yiqiao up, he checked the latter's pulse without any trace.

Although Zhou Yiqiao said that he was in a coma due to shock and did not suffer any injuries, Zhou Yiqiao's extremely stable pulse told Chen Tianyou that this was not an appearance.

Zhou Yiqiao didn't seem to be hurt in any way.

The more Chen Tianyou thought about it, the tighter his frown became.

"Brother Zhou is definitely not a martial artist. Could it be that...he is really a cultivator as I guessed!?"

The thought suddenly got out of control.

The seeds of doubt that were planted not long ago sprouted suddenly at this moment and quickly grew into a huge tree in Chen Tianyou's heart.

Chen Tianyou still doesn't know whether the fruit produced by this doubtful tree is good or evil.
