Han Sen did not know whether Zhu Ting was telling the truth or not. Although he knew something, he still had doubts.
The next night after Zhu Ting talked to Han Sen, Zhu Ting, who was chained by special ropes, ran away silently. The man who was responsible for watching him in the first half of the night died where Zhu Ting was chained. His body was black, indicating that he had been poisoned.
The place where they were resting was not far from where Zhu Ting was chained, but no one heard anything. The dead man did not even struggle or make a sound. It was not until Yang Yongcheng got up in the middle of the night to change shifts that his body was discovered.
"Damn it!" Yang Yongcheng's face turned green, and so did the others.
Han Sen slightly frowned. He had underestimated Zhu Ting. If Zhu Ting was so strong, he should have had a chance to run away when they first set up camp. However, he waited until after he talked to Han Sen. Obviously, he did it on purpose.
When they returned to Faith Shelter, Ning Yue had already arrived. After Yang Yongcheng reported what had happened to Ning Yue, Ning Yue just smiled and thanked Han Sen for begging them. He also told Han Sen that the procedures for Han Yan's admission to the aristocratic college had been completed and she could enroll at any time.
Ning Yue did not mention anything about the cursed wolf dagger until he got everything ready and set off for the ancient forest again. He did not even ask what kind of beast soul it was.
It seemed that Ning Yue was not interested in the cursed wolf dagger at all. As long as Han Sen could help them kill the creature, it would be enough.
Whether Ning Yue was really not interested in the cursed wolf dagger or he was just pretending, Han Sen admired Ning Yue very much. Not everyone had such patience.
If he attacked, his opponent would die without a doubt. He wouldn't give his opponent a chance to escape. This made Han Sen even more wary of Ning Yue.
This time, there were fewer people going to the ancient forest than last time. Including Han Sen and Ning Yue, there were only five people. In addition, except for Yang Yongcheng, the other two arrived later.
All three of them had maxed out on sacred geno points. Before they set off, they had all evolved in the evolution pool in God's Sanctuary and become evolvers with their geno points maxed out. Their fitness had been greatly improved.
"It seems that Ning Yue is determined to kill the creature this time." Han Sen thought to himself what he should do.
It was impossible for Han Sen to help Ning Yue kill the creature. Even if Han Sen would be the final winner, he could not let them see the life essence.
"Except for the Golden Howler which died of natural causes, all super creatures would disintegrate after they were killed.
If I could keep a distance from Ning Yue and make the final strike, I could take the life essence without them seeing it.
They would not know the existence of the life essence and would only wonder why the body of the creature disappeared." Han Sen planned in his mind.
The Ning family was still the biggest suspect in the death of Han Sen's father, so Han Sen would not really help them.
Because Ning Yue was not in good health, even if he was riding a mount, he would cough badly if he walked too fast. Therefore, the group was much slower than last time.
Because the rest time was short, Han Sen had nothing to do during the rest time, so he studied his beast souls.
Among his many beast souls, there was only one that he had not figured out the use of, which was the beetle knight.
Han Sen had searched for doppelganger beast souls on the Skynet and the special squad many times, but the result was the same. He could not find any information about this type of beast soul.
It was undoubtedly a rare beast soul, but Han Sen still did not know what it was used for, which troubled Han Sen.
Han Sen had tried many methods, but none of them worked. The beetle knight did not move at all, nor was it summoned, which was very strange.
"Doppelganger beast soul, what kind of doppelganger is it?
Could it be that after I die, it will continue to live in my place?
Or is it like an actor's stunt double, which can do something for me? "Han Sen looked at the beetle knight in his mind and thought to himself.
As Han Sen was thinking, he went to the stream to fetch water. Looking at his reflection in the stream, he remembered something.
When he was fighting with the beetle knight, the beetle knight would go to the lake every time. It did not look like it was taking a bath, because it was riding a wildebeest. The water in the lake could not even drown the wildebeest, so the beetle knight only got its legs wet.
Every time the beetle knight came out of the lake, its wounds would completely disappear. At that time, Han Sen thought there was something strange in the lake. After killing the beetle knight, he almost turned the entire lake upside down, but did not find anything strange.
"Doppelganger beast soul … lake … Did the beetle knight go to the lake not to soak in the water, but to use the surface of the lake as a mirror to reflect itself?" Han Sen's eyelids twitched as he thought of this.
"Damn it, I did not think of such a simple thing for so long. I am so stupid." Han Sen looked at his reflection in the stream and almost cried out.
Now he wished he could test his idea right away, but Ning Yue and the others were still not far away. Han Sen had to suppress his thoughts for the time being. After fetching water, he went back to the place where he rested and boiled the water in the pot.
While cooking the porridge, Han Sen was thinking absent-mindedly. His mind was full of thoughts about the beetle knights.
"If what I think is true, there is a way to solve the problem of Dollar's identity. Before I evolve to Second God's Sanctuary, the beast souls that belonged to Dollar can be returned to me openly, and no one will suspect that I have anything to do with Dollar," Han Sen thought to himself.
"Mr. Han, don't worry. Brother Yang and the others will be responsible for holding back the creature and ensuring your safety. You only need to find the right time to launch a fatal blow.
I guarantee with my life that as long as the four of us are alive, the creature will not hurt you. "
Seeing that Han Sen was absent-minded these days, Ning Yue thought Han Sen was afraid of the creature, so he smiled and said to Han Sen.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning." Han Sen did not explain.
"Just call me Ning Yue."
Ning Yue coughed again as he spoke. He covered his mouth with a white wet towel and coughed twice before saying, "Young Master Han, do you believe in fate?"
"A little." Han Sen, like ordinary people, was in awe of fate, but he did not completely believe in it.
"Maybe you don't believe it, but when I first saw you, I thought we should be friends."
Ning Yue smiled and said, "My great grandfather had a good friend whose surname was Han, who saved my great grandfather's life. Maybe we can be friends like that, but this time, it's my turn to save you."
Han Sen looked at Ning Yue in shock. His face looked very strange. His mind was spinning a thousand times, and all sorts of thoughts were running through his mind.
