It was a restless night.
In such an environment, Gu Yuan did not dare to close his eyes and sleep.
He sat on the chair and glanced at Fang Lan lying on the bed from time to time.
The other party still has no intention of waking up.
The wind outside was howling non-stop, like the house was surrounded by whimpering beasts.
Through the window, you can see something flashing past in the darkness from time to time.
Wait until midnight.
Gu Yuan also heard bursts of shrill screams.
Those shrill screams made Gu Yuan feel as if he was in hell.
It was finally dawn, Gu Yuan yawned, and just as he was about to stand up, he heard Uncle Mu's voice coming from the door.
"Sir, are you awake? Do you want to eat something in the morning?"
Gu Yuan stood up, opened the door, and saw Uncle Mu standing at the door. He looked like he hadn't slept well.
"Did you hear those sounds last night?" he asked.
"Sound? What sound?" Uncle Mu's face was full of confusion.
Gu Yuan originally thought that the other person did not sleep well last night and heard the voice hidden in the darkness just like him.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
He looked at Uncle Mu for a while, then looked away and shook his head gently.
"It's nothing. You eat what you have and don't worry about me."
Uncle Mu was a little surprised.
Gu Yuan didn't eat yesterday, and he still doesn't eat now.
He tentatively said: "Sir, are you worried about us?"
Gu Yuan laughed: "I don't mean that, but I really don't need to eat."
Although I thought it was strange, but considering that the other party had the strength to kill the sand python, it seemed that skipping meals was no big deal.
Uncle Mu smiled and nodded.
"If that's the case, forget it, sir. Let's set off after I finish eating. Let's go find someone!"
"Okay." Gu Yuan agreed immediately.
After Uncle Mu left, Gu Yuan sighed again.
Originally, I came here just to find Yun Sheng and the others, there were only four of them in total.
Zhao Yong doesn't know where he is now. He is looking for five people now.
He turned around and looked at Fang Lan, who was still lying on the bed, and patted his head.
Even if I want to find someone, it seems I have to take Fang Lan with me.
She was still in a coma, and if she ignored it, she was afraid that even Fang Lan would be gone when she came back.
At that time, I have to transform into the seventh child among the gourd babies, and I have to find ways to save the other six people...
Fortunately, Fang Lan is still up to par.
When the sun came out completely, Fang Lan happened to open her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was obviously a little uneasy, but when she saw Gu Yuan sitting next to her, the uneasy mood dissipated instantly.
She can still feel safe here with Gu Yuan.
But after Gu Yuan briefly sensed Fang Lan's consciousness, his expression was still a little solemn.
He looked around and sighed.
As long as you stay in the city-state, you will be affected.
The environment here is trying to assimilate Fang Lan all the time!
That is to say, Gu Yuan's spiritual consciousness is stronger and will not be assimilated unless he is directly facing His Majesty the King's shrine or statue. However, Fang Lan does not have such ability and needs Gu Yuan to help her stabilize.
"What's wrong with me?" Fang Lan looked at Gu Yuan and asked.
She had been struggling to open her eyes while in a coma.
She knew that her current situation was not safe.
Even if I barely open my eyes now and try to stay awake, I still feel very tired.
It's like when I first started working, I didn't sleep for several days in order to complete the task.
It's just this weird feeling.
Gu Yuan first told Fang Lan what happened in the square before, and then told his guess.
Fang Lan thought for a long time, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Yes... there's something wrong with that statue, it's weird!"
Her brain was still a mess because she had just woken up.
But now when she heard Gu Yuan talk about what happened in the square, she also remembered that terrifying scene!
When she was in the square, her eyes were attracted when she saw the statue. Even now, she can't remember what she was thinking at that time.
Moreover, the moment her eyes fell on the statue, she felt a strong uneasiness in her heart. This was completely instinctive, but she couldn't take her eyes back. She also saw that the statue's eyes were emitting bright red light.
It was obviously a statue, but at that moment Fang Lan felt as if he was looking into each other's eyes. Now it sounds absurd to say it, but the feeling at that moment was so real.
"The moment I saw the statue's eyes, I felt as if I had fallen into darkness..." Fang Lan murmured.
"By the way, where is Zhao Yong?" Fang Lan looked around and asked quickly.
She remembered that when she looked at the statue, so did Zhao Yong next to her.
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, and then told Zhao Yong's situation again, but he did not tell him that he was choosing Fang Lan.
If the truth is told to Fang Lan, if something happens to Zhao Yong in the end, he may not be able to get out of the shadows for the rest of his life.
"So... Zhao Yong is also missing now?" Fang Lan felt a little heavy.
Now it seems that it made sense for Gu Yuan not to bring them in at the beginning.
As soon as she arrived in the city-state, before she had done anything, Zhao Yong disappeared first, and it was Gu Yuan who finally rescued her.
But even if he is awake now, it still seems like he can't be of much help.
"Sorry, sir, I seem to be holding you back." Fang Lan said a little guiltily.
Gu Yuan smiled and comforted: "Don't say that, this is not your mission in the first place."
Fang Lan's expression was bitter, but she didn't know what to say.
When Uncle Mu arrived, he seemed very happy to see Fang Lan wake up. He quickly said a few words of greetings and then looked at Gu Yuan.
"Sir, shall we leave now?"
"Wait a minute." Gu Yuan glanced at Fang Lan, still hesitant.
Fang Lan reacted quickly, and seemed to have guessed what Gu Yuan was thinking, and said, "I'm here, waiting for you to come back."
She knew that her current state was very bad.
If you go with Gu Yuan, you won't be able to help at all, and it will also slow down the other party's progress.
Gu Yuan was stunned and said in a deep voice: "You have to think clearly, this place..."
"It's okay." Fang Lan said with a smile, "I will take care of myself. If something unexpected happens... Isn't it still you?"
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and said softly: "You are too optimistic."
In fact, these words were not only said to Fang Lan, but also to himself.
Fang Lan seemed to want to say that it didn't matter even if he was assimilated, Gu Yuan could solve everything.
But the problem is.
Gu Yuan didn't know whether these assimilated people could return to normal.
Even if the entire Wind and Sand Domain is resolved, will these people also dissipate along with the Wind and Sand Domain?
Uncle Mu on the side also quickly said: "Sir, don't worry, Fina will take good care of her."
Gu Yuan turned to look at Uncle Mu.
Almost forgot.
Fang Lan needs to be careful about Fina...
After some thought, Gu Yuan agreed to Fang Lan's request and left some water and food for him.
"Don't eat the food here, and don't drink the water here. Remember, stay in the house and don't go anywhere." Gu Yuan looked at Fang Lan and said seriously.
Fang Lan nodded quickly.
Here, even a master like Gu Yuan needs to walk on thin ice. If she wants to avoid being assimilated, she must be more careful.
Moreover, in her current state, where else could she go?
After giving instructions to Fang Lan, Gu Yuan and Uncle Mu walked out of the yard.
"Sir, Uncle Mu!" He ran into Blair head-on.
When Uncle Mu saw Blair, he smiled and said, "Little guy, your grandparents must have been extremely happy yesterday, right?"
"Of course!" Blair said with joy, "My grandma was absolutely terrified. She said that my grandfather and my father had never brought back so much meat at once, and it was still sand python meat! Haha, they are so happy!"
Uncle Mu looked at Blair with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Mu, are you taking Mr. to find someone?" Blair asked when he saw the two of them were going out.
"Um."
"Can I go with you?"
Uncle Mu smiled and shook his head and said: "This is not a smart choice, Blair, you have to know that we are here to do business, not to have fun, and Block 3 is very dangerous."
Blair, who was rejected, was a little disappointed and had no choice but to nod.
"Well, if you need my help in any way, you must tell me. My grandfather said that I hunted with you and didn't help at all. I shouldn't have taken so much meat home..."
Uncle Mu touched Blair's head and said seriously: "Don't listen to your grandfather, that's not the case. Blair, you brought us good luck. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know Mr., let alone Got the sand boa, didn’t you?”
After hearing what Uncle Mu said, Blair's smile returned to his face.
After bidding farewell to Blair and walking away, Gu Yuan suddenly said: "It must be hard to hunt with those children, right?"
Although he knew that the other party was an assimilated "Npc", Gu Yuan still wanted to talk to him.
He always felt that it was not a wise choice for Uncle Mu to take Blair and the others hunting.
In fact, what Blair said before was not wrong.
When hunting, it's hard for Blair and his gang to be of much help.
Uncle Mu understood what Gu Yuan wanted to express, and said with a wry smile: "Brair is a poor child, his parents are no longer here, especially his father, who had bad luck and died during a hunting.
Blair also has elderly grandparents. If I don't take him with me, life will be very difficult for their family. "
Gu Yuan nodded.
He had guessed it before.
"You are a good person."
Uncle Mu laughed and said: "No, sir, you are the good man. The sand python meat you gave him has helped them a lot!"
When Gu Yuan killed the sand python, he didn't expect that killing a monster casually would have such an effect.
It's quite an amazing feeling to see the satisfaction on these people's faces.
"By the way, you said before that Block 3 is dangerous?" Gu Yuan asked.
"It's like this, sir, the number of people in Block 3 is not large, but they are very disunited and often have conflicts with each other." Uncle Mu said.
Gu Yuan nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
Then, Uncle Mu lowered his voice and whispered: "Besides, many people say that His Majesty the King does not like the Third District because there are some weirdos there."
"wack?"
"Yes, as people from the Kingdom of Sand, they don't have a portrait of His Majesty the King in their home, and they don't even thank His Majesty the King for his protection every time they come back from hunting. This is strange, isn't it?"
Gu Yuanxin said it was weird, but you people are the weird ones, okay?
But Uncle Mu's words also made Gu Yuan curious about Block 3.
Could it be that the people in Block 3 have not been assimilated by this place?
But if this is the case, how can they live here, or even go hunting?
Even if you don't believe in that weird King, you still have to eat, drink, and defecate, right?
From their current location to the third district, they would have to cross almost half of the city-state.
While walking on the road, Gu Yuan was also under a lot of pressure.
While he was observing the city-state, he also had to be careful of the surrounding shrines and images.
There are too many elements of His Majesty the King.
When passing the square yesterday, Gu Yuan even pulled Uncle Mu.
"Let's go around there."
He didn't say anything extra, so as not to make Uncle Mu feel that he didn't respect their King. He had nothing to be angry with these NPCs.
When Gu Yuan stopped again, he raised his head slightly and looked up.
In front of him were the steps that were going up, winding and winding, with many buildings on them. At the top of the steps, there seemed to be a palace. There were tall walls around the palace. He stood at the bottom, and everything seemed to be there. Look very carefully.
"That's the palace of His Majesty the King." Uncle Mu said, standing behind Gu Yuan.
When Gu Yuan turned to look at him, he noticed that Uncle Mu's eyes were a little fanatical as he looked toward the palace above.
"Have you met His Majesty the King?" Gu Yuan asked.
Uncle Mu looked away and shook his head in frustration.
"No, His Majesty the King will only receive true warriors."
When he saw Gu Yuan preparing to climb the steps, Uncle Mu behind him suddenly changed his expression and quickly reached out his hand to hold him.
"Sir, you must not!"
Gu Yuan turned to look at Uncle Mu, whose eyes flashed with intense fear!
