Just after leaving the deserted house, the cold rain hit A-Dong, waking her up. This body was already weak, and now it was cursed, making it even weaker. It was difficult for her to even speak, and her strength was gradually drained from her body.
Not long after they left, A-Dong noticed something strange about his body.
She thought of many reasons, and the most suitable reason was the wild vegetable soup she stewed.
Lifting her eyelids with difficulty, A Dong saw the green thread spreading on the side of Jiang Yao's neck with the faint light emitted by the oil lamp.
Same as myself.
A Dong's heart trembled suddenly, a cruel fact was placed in front of her.
The person who caused all this was herself.
After A-Dong entered the Strange Realm, she did not contribute any role to the team. She was more like a burden, staying beside them.
I thought I could provide some help through my knowledge of wild vegetables and herbs.
But she didn't expect that the wild vegetables and herbs she collected were the key to killing them.
A Dong closed his eyes in despair, and the tears that had accumulated in his eyes for a long time slid down his cheeks, and together with the rain, dripped on Jiang Yao's shoulder.
"Yes, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Jiang Yao kept walking on the slippery and steep mountain road, listening to A Dong's apology as he walked.
After A-Dong finished speaking, she spoke slowly.
"This is something."
Her voice was calm, without any hint of complaint or blame.
"None of us knew there was something wrong with the wild vegetables in Yinlin Mountain. Don't put the responsibility on you."
Jiang Yao has always liked getting along with furry animals, not people.
Except when working, she has to deal with people on necessary occasions. She is naturally very comfortable in such situations, especially in terms of guessing people's hearts.
A Dong is an introverted and sensitive person, which is closely related to her experience.
For example, in the copy of "Wuqiao Acrobatic Troupe", she will be worried and sad about coming into contact with a child she has only been with for a few days.
You will also risk your life and trigger your talent to read out the rules.
Without her, Jiang Yao wouldn't have been able to deal with the destructive Wuqiao in the mysterious realm so smoothly.
Jiang Yao knew very well what she was thinking at the moment. It was useless no matter how many words of comfort she said. She could only digest it by herself.
The leaves rustle in my ears, accompanied by the sound of raindrops. Outside the range of the oil lamp, there is boundless darkness, blending with moisture.
Jiang Yao seemed to be in a cave and felt extremely uncomfortable.
No wonder the rules say that you should not go into the mountains after dark. There is a lingering cold in Yinlin Mountain at night, and the temperature is very low.
She cut a piece of meat from the headless body of the goat-headed man, and then worshiped the mountain god of Yinlin Mountain.
The pieces of meat didn't disappear like the sheep's head.
'really. '
Jiang Yao had already prepared for the worst.
To worship the mountain god, you can only worship the head of a sheep, and the body of a sheep-headed person is useless.
This also means that she must kill another sheep-headed man to find the thirteenth dragon bone, otherwise she will just get lost in this mountain forest.
The spread of A-Dong's evil curse is imminent, and Jiang Yao's own evil curse must also be solved.
But now, they seem to be heading for a dead end.
'Russing rustling'
The light of the oil lamp was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to run out of oil. The vines hanging from the branches around the trees were crawling slowly in the darkness. When the light went out, they rushed over and strangled their necks.
"Cut off my head..." A horn as long as half a finger has appeared on A-Dong's forehead, and the green threads growing on his skin have become denser, gradually covering his whole body.
She knew her death was near.
The last sheep-headed man was killed by Jiang Yao and He Lianyin with all their strength. Looking for another sheep-headed man would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
A Dong knew that she would soon turn into a sheep-headed man. At least at this critical moment, she could help Jiang Yao, and she was willing to die.
Jiang Yao ignored her words.
Although he is not a good person, he is not willing to step on her life to survive.
Jiang Yao has his own principles.
"Guard my neck and yours."
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped over the intertwined vines and weeds and ran quickly through the forest.
Health and mental values are declining rapidly.
The spread of green threads in the body is also accelerating.
'Huchi Huchi'
Her lungs contracted suddenly, less air came in and more air came out. Her whole face was flushed, the blood in her body was stagnant, and her throat felt fishy and sweet.
She meets an unexpected person.
Not the sheep-headed people, nor the villagers.
A player like her.
She was also the president of the Nihility Guild who entered the Strange Realm with her, Jiang Ji.
When he saw her, his deathly gray eyes showed a glimmer of light.
Jiang Yao's steps suddenly stopped, ignoring the blood boiling in his throat, he pulled out the tree-cutting ax he found in the deserted house from his waist, and stared at him with great vigilance.
A Dong's talent is rare, and many players covet it.
Jiang Yao has encountered players who spent all kinds of expensive props in order to kill A Dong.
She didn't trust Jiang Ji.
Although he is very similar to the black-robed monster, they spend too little time together.
Jiang Ji looked startled, glanced at the ax tightly held in her hand, and then looked at the corner of her lips where blood was flowing out.
She was in a very bad state, and it was sheer force of willpower that hung her life in the air.
Knowing that she was no match for him now, knowing that he was the only one who could save them, she did not flinch at all and was on full alert. As long as he made a move, Jiang Yao seemed to be desperate to kill him.
"I know where Granny Wushan is. I will take you there."
Jiang Ji looked away in frustration, a little downcast, and whispered.
His voice was still the same electronically synthesized voice as before, with no emotion at all.
Jiang Yao did not relax and said solemnly: "Lead the way."
Jiang Ji led the way for them.
After a while, we arrived in front of the thirteenth keel.
He walked to the old tree and did something unknown. An underground passage appeared on the ground not far away.
Jiang Yao raised his feet and followed him into the cave.
The hole was very narrow and it was not easy for her to carry A Dong on her back. After refusing Jiang Ji's friendly help, she went down the hole without saying a word.
After walking for who knows how long, the view becomes wider and the space changes from narrow to empty.
The tree roots penetrated into the ground, and the tangled tree roots were faintly visible in the cave. The walls of the cave changed from wet to dry.
Along the way, I met several people and greeted Jiang Ji respectfully.
"Jiang Wu is back."
"Jiang Wu went to the ground again to collect herbs for my mother-in-law."
"It's amazing. No wonder I can inherit my mother-in-law's legacy."
