After finishing the repairs at the inn, it took a day longer than expected. It was not until Qin Bai felt that everything was in order that he prepared to go to Lanruo Temple.
He drew a total of nine paper figures, all of which were palm-sized. They were placed close to the body in his sleeves and could be taken out to fight enemies at any time.
Because it was impossible to breed so many paper figurines with a lot of blood, he spent a lot of time cultivating the first paper figurines he made.
Perhaps it had something to do with the change in the true energy. After a long period of incubation, the blood spots on the face of the paper man became more and more obvious, and soon spread to the whole body. Soon the entire paper man turned blood red.
This kind of paper man is called a blood paper man by Qin Bai. Compared with ordinary paper men, its material is tougher, and it can easily cut through wooden boards, and its control range is within twenty meters.
However, this is also the limit of paper money. After the paper man completely turns into blood red, no matter how he cultivates it, it will be difficult for him to further develop his own power.
Qin Bai was already satisfied. The bloody paper man was an unexpected surprise and could be used as a means of protection.
Compared to the bloody paper man, the ordinary paper man is indeed a bit useless to him.
His cultivation level has not improved much. Although he can use weapons to practice, after all, he has just entered the threshold and it is still difficult to achieve a small success.
Qin Bai sorted out the package and found that most of the weapons were missing due to refining the gas.
It's almost time, it's getting late, and it's a damn good day to count the good and bad fortunes.
The top priority was to go to Lanruo Temple, so he approached Ning Caichen.
The other party had been reviewing his homework these days, and it seemed that he had never seen him in person. When Qin Bai saw him again, not only was his hair messy, but he also had a beard.
I have worked hard enough in the past few days, but when I saw Ning Caichen, he seemed to be even more exaggerated than Qin Bai, a bit like sprinting for a hundred days for the college entrance examination.
"After leaving Ning Caichen, it's almost time to hit the road."
Ning Caichen touched his head in a daze. He forgot about food and sleep and couldn't even remember how long it had been, so he asked.
"Brother Qin, has it been too long now?"
"About twenty days." Qin Bai came right away, and Ning Caichen suddenly became nervous.
"Ah, it's been so long, we can't delay the exam."
After saying that, he hurried back to the house, packed up his gifts, and prepared to go out.
"Don't you need to clean up your appearance?"
Qin Bai quickly grabbed him. Although Ning Caichen's appearance was hopeless, he could still be saved.
"It's really unsightly for a scholar to have his hair disheveled. Then Brother Qin, wait for me a little longer."
Ning Caichen turned around and returned to the house. In fact, Qin Bai had already begun to realize a very serious problem.
The current Ning Caichen is slightly different from the one in the movie. It is probably more difficult to follow the original plot.
No matter what, Qin Bai still has to go to Lanruo Temple first. The next sign-in task triggered by the system is very critical and will indirectly affect the direction of things.
When Ning Caichen came out again, he was in much better spirits. He was stunned for a moment after seeing Qin Bai, because most of the weapons behind him were empty, with only six or seven left.
He didn't ask. It was always better to have fewer weapons. After all, having dozens of weapons behind him was a bit scary as it was originally.
The two left Guobei County together, and Ning Caichen reacted belatedly.
"Where's Brother Donkey? Why can't I see you?"
"Oh, it has now entered the society, and it is 996 every day, so I asked you to tell you that I won't follow you this time to rush for the exam."
Qin Bai was naturally vague. In fact, it was impossible to lead a donkey to Lanruo Temple this time, because it would have no effect other than giving away the head.
After getting along for a long time, Ning Caichen already knew Qin Bai somewhat, and knew that once the other person didn't want to answer questions, he would start to be vague.
He couldn't help but start to feel a little uneasy. After taking a closer look, he suddenly realized that he was not following the official path at all.
This path leads towards the mountain, winding and twisting, and the surrounding trees grow strangely. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, it looks like a dead end leading to the underworld.
Ning Caichen was about to ask a question, but the moment he turned his head, he received a blow from the knife on his neck. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
"You want to know too much. It's very tiring to explain."
Qin Bai sighed, carried him on his shoulders, and walked towards Lanruo Temple with steady steps.
It seemed that because we entered the ghost land, the sun set very quickly. When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, there was only a little white light left in the distant horizon.
Several wolf howls were heard, and this unknown barren mountain was indeed a bit uneven.
Qin Bai looked behind him, with several pairs of green eyes staring at him, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, just waiting for him to show his flaws, they would swarm him.
He continued to walk towards the mountain, deliberately walking slowly, just to attract the attention of the wolves.
About half an hour later, only a wolf howl was heard. It was the alpha wolf who had lost his patience and gave an order, and then the sound of dense footsteps began.
Unconsciously, the wolves had completely surrounded Qin Bai and attacked him with low howling.
He didn't even move, and a handful of paper figures slipped from his sleeves and fell to the ground.
Several wild wolves running towards Qin Bai immediately found him. The paper man fell on them and easily cut open the fur. What followed was the sound of flesh and blood being cut.
In just a few minutes, Qin Bai was surrounded by wolf corpses, and the paper people returned to his sleeves. He was suddenly not used to such a relaxed and carefree battle.
"I have to say that although warriors are fierce, mages are the best."
Qin Bai knelt down and looked at the wolf corpses on the ground, and found that his paper figures would absorb the blood from the wounds. There was no drop of blood in these corpses.
He subconsciously took out a paper man from his sleeve, and it was indeed stained with a drop of blood. This showed that as more and more people or animals were killed, ordinary paper men would also turn into bloody paper men.
This was an unexpected surprise. He carried Ning Caichen and left without wasting any time.
After Qin Bai left for a while, the soil began to loosen, and then the roots of countless plants came out and dragged the wolf corpse into the ground.
Then a big man came quickly from a distance. He had a beard, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes.
He observed carefully for a while, and after discovering from the wolf fur left on the ground that it was just a wild animal, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"The area that this tree demon can affect is getting wider and wider. We must find an opportunity to eradicate it as soon as possible."
The big man moved a few steps on the spot, seeming to be thinking carefully about something, and then disappeared into the mountains again.
