Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan grabbed the lump of black hair pulled out from the lake.
What surprised them even more was that the black hair was very tough. Even after being pulled by two people, it was still intact. There were no tears or breaks. Moreover, Li Huaiyun was still in the Hedao realm and could compete with him in strength. That meant that That thing in the water is not weak either.
In addition, a wooden kite was added, and the two parties pulled with all their strength. The black hair was still intact, which was really shocking.
Seeing that the stalemate continued, Li Huaiyun had no choice but to shout at Mu Yuan, "Hurry up and find something to cut off this black hair!"
As soon as Mu Yuan let go, Li Huaiyun clearly felt that he was being pulled some distance away, closer to the lake. He rushed for luck, sank down, and continued the stalemate.
After the stalemate, the expression on his face softened slightly.
Mu Yuan groped around on her body, and then took out a bladed crossbow arrow. The sharp arrow glowed with cold light. She held her shoulder, pointed the blade at the black hair, and cut off the tuft of hair.
The black hair broke quickly like a broken piano string. One end was caught in Li Huaiyun's hand, and the other end retracted directly into the lake.
Li Huaiyun held the hair in his hands tightly, and then slowly stood up. The lake water on his clothes continued to drip from his body to the ground.
Mu Yuan walked up, looked at the moist black hair, and asked curiously, "Where does this come from?"
"I don't know!" Li Huaiyun shook it gently, and a large amount of water was thrown out. "Maybe it is really the monster he met in the water prison before."
"In the water prison?"
"Yeah! It was the first case I investigated. The imprisoned thief died in the water prison, and there was no trace of the murderer at the scene!"
When Mu Yuan heard this detailed explanation, she looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh! That's the case!"
"Have you heard about the water prison case?"
"Of course!" Mu Yuan said, "After all, this case has been circulated in the Demon Slayer Division for a long time, and it has been used as a typical case as a teaching material!"
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun looked surprised. He had never heard of this case being used as a teaching material. "Why should this case be used as a teaching material?"
"Let other monster hunters learn from this and pay attention to the key points when handling cases!"
"There's a lot to learn from this case."
“I didn’t expect that I’m still a role model now!”
"That's natural," Mu Yuan said with a smile, "Even I wanted you to enter Qianji Pavilion at that time!"
"This!" Li Huaiyun was a little surprised by this. He practiced martial arts. How could Qianji Pavilion like him?
"Why! What does Qianji Pavilion want me to do? I don't know how to make spiritual weapons."
"Investigate the case! If someone with such ability joins the branch, it will increase the branch's weight in the Demon Slayer Department. When Sikyong retires, there will be a certain chance to become the new generation of Sikyong."
"I see! I never thought that you, Mu Yuan, seem to be indifferent to the world, but in fact, you are thinking about Sikyong's position in your heart!" Li Huaiyun chuckled, "It seems that I was mistaken."
"I didn't want to argue in the first place!" Mu Yuan snorted, "If I wanted to argue, I would have told you directly. I hate that coy look the most."
"I want you to enter Qianji Pavilion because I want to feel the thrill of solving the case, but I can feel it now!"
"Actually, you don't need to solve the case to get the pleasure, I can provide it!"
Mu Yuan understood what he meant, blushed, raised her arm, and pointed the crossbow at him, "Say it again, I really want to make a hole in my head to see what's inside!"
"Just kidding! Just kidding!" Li Huaiyun immediately gave up. If this were other women, he wouldn't be afraid, but now this is Mu Yuan, who looks more like a man. She is really angry. Maybe she actually dares to take action!
At this moment, the black hair in his hand took on a new change.
"What's going on?" Li Huaiyun raised his hand, and the black hair he held suddenly became very hard, like boar bristles, quite rough and prickly.
Li Huaiyun realized the danger, and he immediately threw the black hair towards the lake.
The ball of black hair was thrown in a parabola.
As he expected, before reaching the lake, the black hair kept intertwining, compressing, and gathering into a pile. Then, there was a bang, which was so loud that it made people's ears feel uncomfortable.
The hair that was blown out was like steel needles, attacking the two people from all directions without blind spots.
"Danger! Hidden here!" Li Huaiyun reacted first and shouted towards Mu Yuan, seeing that the other party's reaction was a little slow.
Without saying a word, he directly protected Mu Yuan by his side and blocked the wire-like hair with his body.
This thing should be quite dangerous! At that moment, many black hairs were inserted into his back, like a porcupine.
Li Huaiyun had already used hard qigong, and many parts of his body had hardened, making every place like a rock.
However, those black hairs that flew out could still penetrate the body easily. If it were not for the martial art of Hard Qigong, his body would have been filled with black hairs, causing the internal organs of his body to weaken.
"Are you okay?" Mu Yuan looked at him with concerned eyes. This man stepped forward to protect her, which moved her heart.
She felt that the special masculinity in her arms made people a little excited.
After a while, Li Huaiyun opened his arms and took two steps back. As long as he moved his hands and feet slightly, he felt a tingling pain in his body.
"I really didn't expect that black hair to attack in this way." He stretched out his hand and pulled out the hair on his arm from his flesh. It was accompanied by some white pus and yellow liquid, which made people feel quite uncomfortable. nausea,
Mu Yuan grinned and looked away. Although she was very sympathetic, she still felt a little physically uncomfortable when she saw this scene.
"How is it? Why is it that after the hair was pierced, it came out with these disgusting things, as if..."
"It seems like the hair is integrated with the body, right?"
"Yes!" Mu Yuan nodded!
Li Huaiyun took a look and saw that the visible parts of his arms and back were already a little red.
"This kind of hair may have the ability to be parasitic. Once it penetrates the body, it can combine with the host's body. Now it only penetrates my epidermis!"
"If it were internal organs, the consequences would be even more serious."
Mu Yuan saw small red dots appearing on Li Huaiyun's back, neck, and arms, "Is there still poison in this hair?"
"Don't worry, it's probably a minor matter. The hair was soaked in the lake, and the water is not clean. Therefore, when it pierces your body, the symptoms of skin redness, swelling and itching will appear!"
"You even know this!" Mu Yuan had a new understanding of Li Huaiyun, and she didn't expect that this guy actually knew some medical knowledge.
"That's natural! My aunt is a skillful and kind doctor."
"I see." Mu Yuan looked at the dense hair on Li Huaiyun's arms, "Then what should we do?"
Li Huaiyun didn't have any good ideas for a while. These hair strands had already combined with his skin, and there was no hair removal cream for sale this week. Besides, he still had to find the location of the human stake. He looked so ugly like this!
He pulled another one off and said, "Use something to scrape?"
"You can't shave it clean!" Mu Yuan was silent for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up and a special smile appeared on his face, "I have a solution!"
Li Huaiyun saw her look and felt a little distrustful in his heart, "What can I do?"
"Don't you know some hard Qigong? You can choose to burn it with fire, and it will definitely be eradicated."
"Then why were you laughing just now?"
"After the pigs are slaughtered in the village, they are burned with fire."
Sure enough, but this method can be tried! If Sasuke and Amaterasu were there, it would be a perfect solution!
Li Huaiyun glanced around and said, "Where can we find fire?"
Mu Yuan said arrogantly at this time, "You have forgotten, I am the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion!" She took out a hexagonal turntable similar to a Feng Shui disk, which can simply summon several elements.
She gently turned the turntable at a slight angle, and then a flame appeared at the center of the turntable, as Mu Yuan injected spiritual power into the turntable.
That central fire slowly began to grow more intense.
"Get ready. I can blow the flames and turn them into raging flames."
Li Huaiyun immediately relaxed, then took off his upper body in brocade clothes, exposing all the hair on his back and arms.
"bring it on!"
Mu Yuan held the turntable in both hands, injected the spiritual weapon, and then breathed out fiercely towards the burning sparks.
The weak spark seemed to be injected with energy, and it expanded to dozens of times in size in an instant. The bright red fire light illuminated the surrounding area, as if it were shrouded in the woods under the setting sun.
Li Huaiyun could also feel the huge heat coming on, giving his skin a burning pain.
Although the pain only lasts for a moment, after the burning is over, there is always severe pain and itching, which makes people want to scratch it, but that will cause the wound to become infected.
He couldn't help it, but was stopped by Mu Yuan, "I know it's itchy, but you can't just scratch it."
"But it's so itchy!"
"I have a way!" Mu Yuan said. She turned the turntable again and covered the red spots on his body with ice-cold water vapor.
The cold water vapor suddenly stopped the itching, and Li Huaiyun gently moved his joints.
"That's it! That's it!" He put on the brocade clothes.
Mu Yuan also put away the turntable.
Li Huaiyun breathed a sigh of relief when his body was no longer itchy. He looked at the lake with sharp eyes. When was that thing in the lake? Just now on the shore, I didn’t understand the conversation I had with Mu Yuan.
"As soon as you jumped into the water, that thing appeared in the lake!" Mu Yuan said with some worry, "I wonder if this thing heard our words!"
"If you want, we'll make another plan!"
"No, they have spent so many years just for this moment, so there is no need to worry too much."
Mu Yuan saw that Li Huaiyun was still wet and said worriedly, "Why don't you dry yourself first, otherwise you will get cold! Autumn is about to begin!"
Li Huaiyun swung his arms, and then activated the infuriating energy in his body, causing a special hot air in his body. This breath increased the temperature of his body, and then a large amount of water vapor was emerging from his body. Quickly, both body and clothes will be steamed dry.
They returned to the Huxin Pavilion and sat down to rest for a while! Especially Li Huaiyun wanted to take a good rest.
"What's going on under the lake?" Mu Yuan asked anxiously, "What's the discovery?"
"No! I haven't found anything yet. However, the most troublesome thing is that it is too dark under the lake and there are too many impurities to see clearly."
"With that kind of thing at the bottom of the lake, it's hard not to think that that thing is here to guard the human stakes!" Mu Yuan reminded,
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
