Jiang Yao took a breath.
If this triggers the field selection, she won't be able to wake up unless she stays in the hospital bed for a year or two.
The talent system also reminded her.
Once the debtor's lifespan exceeds ten thousand, a hundred lives will not be enough for her to die.
In short, this monster is not something she can deal with now.
Jiang Yao came here not to destroy the stone tablet, but to complete the test set by her mother-in-law.
But the current problem is that the corpse is very likely to be washed into this round lake by the rushing river. If she wants to find the corpse, she must go into the lake to touch the corpse.
"Drink first, hot tea."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ji brought a small round table from nowhere, with a low stool on it, and firewood piled next to it. It was burning in full swing, and the wood made a crackling sound as it burned.
I saw a huge parasol that he took out from nowhere and stood beside the round table. Not affected by the snow at all.
If it weren't for the stone tablet engraved with a forbidden curse behind him, Jiang Yao would have thought he was traveling.
A round iron pot was placed on the fire, two bottles of mineral water were poured in, and cold-dispelling tea leaves were thrown in.
The hot mist gradually drifted upward, and as it approached three o'clock in the morning, the dark sky became faintly white.
It would be nice to drink some hot tea to warm your body, and then go into the water to retrieve the corpse——
Jiang Yao immediately shook his head when he thought about this. Time was running out. If he continued to delay, he would have to wait for another day.
"If you don't want to drink, get into the water and retrieve the body!" she urged.
As she spoke, she walked up to the ice of Round Lake. The ice was slippery, and she almost fell when she walked up. Fortunately, she grabbed the weeds on the shore in time to stabilize her body.
She took out her ax and planned to chop the ice. As soon as the ax struck, she heard a sharp buzzing sound in her ears.
Countless yin energy surged toward her, and Jiang Yao quickly shook the rattle.
The Yin Qi dissipated instantly.
This also confirmed to her that the rattle belonged to the corpse.
The most important thing is that the weirdness suppressed by the four stone tablets is none other than the corpse himself.
No wonder her mother-in-law gave her this rattle.
Give her a rattle, and she can still save her life when she gets here.
But this test simply cannot be completed.
First, if she wants to fish out the corpse, she must destroy the stone monument. Second, this is a peak-destruction level monster. Once released, even if she has a rattle, she will not be able to stop the monster's resentment.
Jiang Yao was discouraged, put away his ax, climbed up to the shore, walked to a short stool and sat down.
Jiang Ji scooped up a bowl of hot tea and handed it to her. He also heated the pancakes given by the cave residents on the fire, placed them on the round table, and kept busy.
Jiang Yao took the bowl, took a sip, and fell into silence watching his actions.
After a long time, she said: "You have known for a long time that this test is impossible to complete, right?"
Jiang Ji paused after hearing this. Only one pair of eyes remained on his face covered by the mask, and his dark eyes were filled with confusion.
"Isn't it possible?"
No one could lie in front of her. Jiang Yao stared into his eyes tightly, not letting go of any flaws.
After being stared at by her for two seconds, Jiang Ji took off the brim of his hat. His exposed ears were bright red, highlighted by the snowflakes.
This time it was Jiang Yao's turn to look confused.
No, is he blushing like a bubble teapot?
She moved her eyes away and heard two footsteps approaching. She immediately put down the bowl and held the ax tightly. When the person approached, she saw clearly that they were Wen Wushu and Yinzhu.
Wen Wushu's nose was bleeding and he walked behind with his head raised.
When Yin Zhu saw that it was her, her face was full of joy, and she stepped on the snow and ran towards her.
"Sister Jiang, I finally see you."
Jiang Yao was a little surprised.
Although they entered the Strange Realm at the same time, they have different identities and are in different places. She and Helianyin Adong were sacrificed to the mountain god as cave girls because they were both girls.
But Wen Wushu Yinzhu was different. She didn't see them in the cave of Dragon Burial Village. She thought they were lost in Yinlin Mountain and would not be able to see them until they left the Strange Territory.
"I just said you were here. My Gu worm smelled your breath and guided me here."
Yinzhu ignored Jiang Ji next to her and sat down on the low stool next to her, chattering.
Jiang Yao asked: "Why are you here?"
Hearing this, Yin Zhu's expression suddenly turned sour, and he complained: "Unlucky, I became a lake guard, and I can't get out of this hellish place. I sent out a lot of Gu insects, but they can't find a way out."
As he spoke, he came over and whispered in her ear: "You are still with this smoker. You don't know how annoying I am when I see his face."
Jiang Yao interrupted his complaints and asked the key: "What is a Lakekeeper?"
Yin Zhu straightened her skirt, then pointed to an abandoned house not far away and said, "There is an abandoned house there. We are the lake keepers and are responsible for taking care of the lake. We have to check the stone tablets every day and light incense to worship the circle." There’s something weird in the lake.”
"There is a peak-destruction-level monster suppressed in this lake. His name is Black Gouzi. It doesn't sound like a human name. It is recorded in the house that he is as tall as a mountain and that he is an orphan adopted by Dragon Burial Village."
Jiang Yao straightened his expression and said, "Speak."
Yinzhu didn't know much about this weird thing. They all found it in that abandoned house.
Black Gouzi was thrown into a bamboo basket when he was just born and washed down the river. He survived the catastrophe and stopped on the shore. He was picked up by a villager in Burial Dragon Village and brought to the village.
Black Gouzi's origins are unknown, and he is different when he grows up. He has grown to two meters long in his teens and is as tall as the eaves. He is a strange person among children.
If he is different from ordinary people, he will be ostracized, and no children in the village will want to play with him.
Being bullied and psychologically distorted, he and the soldiers outside the village massacred many villagers.
Unable to live in peace even after death, he was suppressed in the depths of the Round Lake.
Yin Zhu holds the hot pancakes placed on the round table with chopsticks. It tastes pretty good. It is eaten with hot tea, which warms the heart and stomach.
He complained while eating: "Anyway, he is a heinous person."
Jiang Yao was thoughtful, sorting out the clues he had learned in the past few days.
In the Dragon Burial Village, she heard detailed clues about the big man from the female ghost Ye Xiaolan.
Ye Xiaolan had a dream. She dreamed that a big man was killing people. It was very scary...
This is in line with what Yinzhu said about the black dog. He committed a heinous crime and led troops into the stronghold and massacred the villagers in the stronghold.
But there are a lot of doubts here.
One is the group of soldiers. Since a group of soldiers were brought into the village by Black Gouzi, why has Jiang Yao never seen a single soldier since he entered the Guild Realm?
Regarding whether the cave dwellers living in the cave are soldiers?
Jiang Yao stopped this speculation as soon as it came up.
Impossible. She had checked that the cave dwellers were all ordinary people who had no power to restrain themselves.
Second, since Black Gouzi is so bad, why did Grandma Wushan give her the test of fishing out Hei Gouzi's body?
