Next, while Lin Yue was searching for this stream, he was also paying attention to the surrounding situation. Once the afterimage that just flashed appeared, he would be able to react quickly.

But after a stick of incense passed, Lin Yue searched the entire stream but found nothing.

Not only that, the afterimage that flashed before seemed to be Lin Yue's hallucination and never appeared again.

"...It's a little strange."

Although he didn't find any suspicious points, Lin Yue was even more convinced that there was definitely something wrong with this place, but he couldn't find it for a while.

Just as he was about to return to the land where he had made an appointment with Qing Bingying, a piercing scream suddenly came from the distant woods!

"Ahhh!"

Lin Yue looked stern, quickly quickened his pace, and met Qing Bingying who had just emerged from the jungle on the side.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, did you hear the scream just now?"

Qing Bingying had a look of panic on her face, apparently attracted by that voice.

"Um."

Lin Yue responded in a deep voice and rushed towards the place where the sound came from without saying anything else.

Qing Bingying didn't ask any questions when she saw this, but followed Lin Yue silently.

After a while, Lin Yue and Qing Bingying arrived at that place. Many people were already gathered around, chattering about something.

When they saw Lin Yue, they all nodded respectfully and made room for him.

So Lin Yue quickly saw what was surrounded by everyone.

A frightened female immortal collapsed on the ground, her eyes full of uneasiness and fear, with a few tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking very haggard.

"What happened here?" Lin Yue asked with a frown.

He knew that as an immortal, the other party would not be frightened into such a mess by ordinary things.

An old man-looking immortal next to Lin Yue heard Lin Yue's question and answered somewhat uncertainly.

"Fellow Taoist Master, I didn't see what happened here with my own eyes, but after I came here, I heard everyone said that it was because the female Taoist friend's companion disappeared inexplicably..."

"Huh? Missing..."

Lin Yue looked startled when he heard this. If he was missing, he wouldn't be frightened like this.

When the old man saw Lin Yue's expression, he immediately understood the reason for his doubts and quickly explained.

"I didn't explain it clearly. The female Taoist friend's companion disappeared, but his face appeared on the body of an ape-like creature. The female Taoist friend only saw the ape.

You will be frightened..."

After hearing this answer, Lin Yue finally understood what had just happened.

Ape...?

A thought flashed through Lin Yue's mind. Could it be that the afterimage he had inadvertently noticed in the stream was the ape that the female immortal saw?

But the distance between the other side of the stream and here is not close, and the time between when he saw the afterimage and the female immortal's exclamation was only about a stick of incense, unless the ape had the power to

Run all the way here with purpose, otherwise it will be difficult to appear here.

Is it possible that there is more than one ape like that in this oasis space?

This idea suddenly flashed through Lin Yue's mind like a whim.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what happened?"

Qing Bingying also squeezed into the crowd and came to Lin Yue's side, asking him in a low voice.

"Fellow Divine Master, I will take my leave now."

Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly, gave up his position, turned and left.

Qing Bingying didn't know what happened yet, but she just stood at the old man's original position in confusion, and showed a look of surprise when she saw the state of the female immortal.

"this……"

Lin Yue repeated what the old man had said to him before, and Qing Bingying's face turned pale after hearing this.

"The face of the missing person appeared on the body of an ape. This is the first time I have heard of this..."

Lin Yue nodded calmly. At this time, more and more people gathered around, and almost everyone came over after hearing the scream.

After all, they are in this strange space, and any bit of news is enough to become a clue.

At this moment, Luo Yao hurriedly walked over. After noticing the situation of the female immortal, he began to understand the situation with several people around him, and his expression became

Startled and doubtful.

Suddenly he noticed Lin Yue's figure and walked through the crowd.

"Fellow Divine Master, what do you think of this matter?" Luo Yao asked Lin Yue with a frown on his face.

We had just killed the terrifying monster, but not long after that, something like this happened again...

"I……?"

Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"There are too few clues. I only know that there is an ape with a human face. I can't figure out what is going on."

After Luo Yao heard this answer, he looked obviously stunned and then said quickly.

"Oh? It seems that you, fellow Taoist Master, only know one thing but not the other. It's not just the problem of that ape...!"

It turns out that what the old man just told was only the first statement that was spread among the people, and there was another statement that was directly related to the female immortal herself.

After Luo Yao's various understandings, the main reason why the female immortal was so frightened was that her consciousness fell into an illusion.

Although the outside world only passed for a short period of time, she had been trapped in that illusion for hundreds of days. After finally leaving there, she found herself

The companion actually turned into an ape...

That's right, there are two versions of the ape in Luo Yao.

The first one was what Lin Yue heard from the old man. The face of a missing person appeared on the body of an ape.

Another version is that the man did not disappear, but his body turned into an ape.

Because these are only the words of the female immortal, everyone cannot judge the real situation and can only make inferences based on the situation she described.

After hearing Luo Yao's explanation, Lin Yue and Qing Bingying suddenly understood.

"It's actually like this..." Qing Bingying opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Lin Yue on the side felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he looked at Luo Yao and said.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I suggest you find the ape first. As for whether that fellow Taoist has disappeared or turned into an ape, we will naturally find out after we find him."

"Understood, I think so too."

Luo Yao nodded after hearing Lin Yue's suggestion, and then immediately asked the crowd to disperse and go to the jungle to look for the ape, leaving only a few people to take care of the ape who was still paralyzed.

The female immortal on the ground.

The illusion that the Female Immortal Lord fell into previously caused great damage to her spirit. In addition, her soul was in a weak state after leaving, but she suffered a fright.
