The other villagers didn't know who Eddie was, nor did they put too much hope in him.
Compared to Eddie, Shannon and Kai looked somewhat more dependable.
After all, they could catch the culprit that had been causing trouble in the village for six months, and they even captured six weasels in one go.
They had to have real talent to be capable of achieving that.
The cast members answered several questions asked in the livestream. Juniper also reminded the others that if anything bad happened later, like if the mastermind got angry and started attacking them, the villagers and the crew should escape first.
They talked as they trekked. Soon, they arrived in a forest halfway up the mountain.
The six weasels at the lead suddenly stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Everyone stopped walking as well.
They were surrounded by trees as far as they could see. They could also hear faint chirping around them.
In their daze, they could even hear something like faint rustling.
Something seemed to be moving among the grass.
Everyone held their breaths and concentrated, their faces filled with tension.
A moment later, someone let out a scream.
When everyone looked in the direction of the scream, they saw a weasel suddenly poking its head out of the bushes ahead of them.
Then, another weasel appeared.
Soon, there were three weasels, and then four.
Weasels kept popping out from the bushes. In an instant, there were a dozen of them. They stared intently at the group with their round little eyes, their expressions filled with wariness.
The scene reminded the group of what happened last night.
The only difference was that it was daytime now.
Another viewer wrote, "Please be careful, Shannon."
A curious viewer asked, "So, which one of them is the boss?"
As if something had sensed the emotions of the crowd, there was another movement in the bushes ahead.
Shannon looked in the direction of the noise. A short distance ahead of them, a small figure slowly walked out from behind a tree.
It was obviously bigger than other weasels, and it had ochre fur all over its body. It seemed to be about the size of an eight-year-old human, and it was walking on its hind legs.
When it walked out, its gait was extremely similar to that of a human. It moved calmly, and its black eyes were quite different from the other weasels'.
Its eyes were cold, deep, and pregnant with wisdom that animals shouldn't possess.
When it trained its dark gaze upon them, everyone at the scene could sense its intense and intimidating presence…
Except for Shannon and Kai.
