His face was pale and his legs were weak. Jiang Yubai caught him in time, otherwise he almost fell to the ground.
"Thanks."
[Current recovery personnel: Jiang Yubai (recovering from serious injury), Lu Xingye (recovering from serious injury), Linchi Liu (recovering from near-death), Sophia (recovering from minor injury)]
Sophia is in much better shape than the others.
[The timeout has been restored]
[Current remaining time: 5 minutes]
The moment the system prompt tone fell, a scarlet countdown appeared again on the edge of Jiang Yaoqing's sight.
The countdown is slowly decreasing, giving people a sense of imminent urgency.
In particular, they still don't know how many floors the Bone Collecting Tower has.
"Yu Bai, go find Xiaochi and see if there are any banknotes on him."
"If we want to move up to the third level, we need sixteen banknotes."
Jiang Yaoqing explained: "Now I have five, Jiang Yubai has two, and Xiaolu has three."
"There are only ten in total."
"Six more to go."
"Linchiliu has two banknotes on him."
Jiang Yubai took out two banknotes from Linchi Liu's pocket and handed them to Jiang Yaoqing.
Sophia's face turned pale and she shook her head guiltily.
"I……"
"I didn't find the key clue."
After saying that, she pinched the corner of her clothes: "Sorry."
"It's okay, don't worry."
The current situation is much better than Jiang Yaoqing imagined.
At first, he thought that only he and Jiang Yubai could get it.
Unexpectedly, everyone except Sophia got it.
"We have twelve notes now."
"If I remember correctly, Linchiliu also picked up a steamed bun from the mountain god's tribute."
Jiang Yaoqing stood up, walked to Linchi Liu, reached out and took out a moldy steamed bun from Linchi Liu's other pocket.
"Saved a dollar."
"According to the recipes found by Linchi Liu, we still need to buy porridge, vegetarian dishes, meat dishes and a stick of incense."
“I don’t know the price of a stick of incense yet, so let’s put it aside for now.”
"The others add up to a total of fifteen."
Jiang Yubai raised his eyelids and spoke quickly: "Captain, the more expensive it is, the harder it may be to get it. I recommend buying it with banknotes."
"What Yu Bai said makes sense."
Jiang Yaoqing spoke quickly: "In this case, the total of meat and vegetable dishes is thirteen."
"We're still one note short."
“The rest can only be made up through other methods.”
"Time waits for no one, let's get started."
Jiang Yaoqing took all the banknotes and walked to the cafeteria stall with a few others.
Sophia's heart was full of guilt. She knew that she was holding back the god-level reserve team.
Silently following Jiang Yaoqing's movements, he followed the others to the cafeteria stall.
"Sofia, go take care of Xiaochi and ensure his safety."
Jiang Yaoqing ordered.
"I..." Sophia bit her lip and said.
"Don't worry, we don't blame you, it's nothing."
Jiang Yaoqing consoled him: "Take good care of Xiaochi, and Linchi Liu will be left to you."
Sophia felt warm in her heart, and held her hands hanging on her sides tightly: "Okay, I understand, I will take good care of him."
*
Jiang Yaoqing walked to the meat stall.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, adjusting his breathing opening.
"A piece of fried shredded pork, thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew across the second floor of the Bone Collecting Tower, making Jiang Yaoqing tremble.
I saw a pale white claw sticking out of the stall.
Jiang Yaoqing counted out eight banknotes and put them in her paws, then swallowed with a gulp.
The white paw stopped for a moment without moving, and finally slowly grasped it and put it away.
Soon, the aroma of fried shredded pork spread throughout the canteen.
"Take it, Xiaolu, and wait in the back."
Jiang Yaoqing spoke.
Lu Xingye nodded.
He took the fried shredded pork and walked back.
He looked at Sophia, who was guarding Linchi Liu's side, and nodded slightly.
Go to the vegetarian stall.
Jiang Yaoqing took a deep breath and said: "A piece of stir-fried cabbage, thank you."
Likewise, a pale white claw protruded from the stall.
There are four notes left.
Jiang Yaoqing and Jiang Yubai looked at each other and put four banknotes on them.
The white paw also paused for a moment.
Jiang Yao's Adam's apple twitched slightly, holding a dagger in her hand, ready to retreat at any time.
Rose petals continued to fly from the palm of Jiang Yubai's hand, and the rose spear took shape slightly.
Soon enough, Jiang Yaoqing turned sideways to avoid the attack of the white palm.
Jiang Yu's white rose spear directly pierced the white palm.
Panting slightly, the white palm slowly dissipated and faded away.
The next moment, a portion of stir-fried cabbage appeared under the stall.
Exudes a light fragrance.
"Sofia, come here and serve the food."
Sophia is now happy to be bossed around, which makes her feel like she has not been abandoned.
Sophia took the stir-fried cabbage and said softly to Jiang Yaoqing and the others: "Come on."
Next stall.
Black rice porridge.
Jiang Yaoqing imitated the previous words and spoke, but she had already prepared the dagger in her hand.
"A piece of black rice porridge, thank you."
After the words fell for a long time, there was no movement at the stall in front of him.
Jiang Yaoqing and Jiang Yubai did not move. They looked at the stall in front of them and mobilized all their energy to guard it.
Sure enough, seeing that the two of them had not been deceived, a pale white claw fell out of the stall in front of them.
at the same time!
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind at the stall beside me.
Jiang Yaoqing lowered her waist to avoid the claws coming from her side. She threw the dagger directly and was firmly embedded in the white palm.
The danger level of this palm is similar to that of the vegetarian one just now, not very high, and easy to deal with.
Jiang Yaoqing and Jiang Yubai cooperated to end it and successfully got a bowl of black rice porridge.
The two looked at each other and Jiang Yaoqing said: "You are still injured, give me the last stick of incense."
Jiang Yubai looked deeply at Jiang Yaoqing, as if he wanted to say something, but finally turned into a faint smile.
"Yao Qing, be careful in everything."
"Um."
It only took thirty seconds to do all this.
Jiang Yaoqing walked towards the last stall.
Nothing is written here.
The pitch-black stall is like an endless black abyss, the bottom of which cannot be seen at a glance.
"Hello, we need a stick of incense, thank you."
The dark wind blew slowly.
The broken hair on Jiang Yaoqing's forehead was blown up, revealing the young man's beautiful and plump forehead.
The dagger in Jiang Yaoqing's hand was slightly clenched, her temples were beating suddenly, and her whole mind was kept at its most active state.
There was no movement at the fifth stall.
Jiang Yao's Adam's apple moved slightly and her knuckles felt a little cold.
"Jingle Bell--"
The sound of the bell rang.
Very crisp.
Jiang Yao's amber eyes were startled, and in the next moment, she fell to the ground without any strength.
"Yao Qing!"
Jiang Yubai's pupils shrank and he tried to rush out.
"do not come!"
Jiang Yaoqing scolded angrily, coughed out a mouthful of blood, and her face instantly turned pale.
Damn it.
The amber eyes turned slightly and stared at the huge pupils crawling out from the stall.
——
"Ahhhh, what is this!"
"Holy crap, what kind of monster is this? Help!"
"I was so scared that I threw the rice out of my hand. This thing looks so disgusting!!"
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the god worshiped during meals in ancient times. It seems to suck people's life force..."
"Why can't I understand what you are saying upstairs?"
"You understand that this thing needs to absorb Yao Qing's vitality, and it can only work if it absorbs enough."
"Ah, can the Yaoqing baby still pass like this?"
"It must be possible! Believe in our Yaoqing baby!!"
