With the pursuers closing in, Jia Xitong quickly threw out two explosive talismans that she had just drawn.

Boom—

The new Burst Rune caused the ground to shake, and dirt and weeds flew everywhere.

The first wave of pursuers was killed by the bomb, and all the pursuers who came to eliminate them gathered together, while the remaining hunting dogs barked wildly in the reeds.

All of Jia Xitong's previously stockpiled explosive talismans are gone. She only had 7 explosive talismans that she had just drawn, and now she has 5 left.

Only when you experience the written words firsthand do you realize the bloodshed and cruelty within.

How did the male protagonist survive in the original work?

Just as she was racking her brains to recall the plot, her foot suddenly slipped, and she fell down along with Shang Yanting, whom she was holding onto.

Auspicious omens descend from the heavens!

The cave was pitch black. The puppet controlled by Jia Xitong crawled out from under Shang Yanting, touched his face, and felt his still evenly beating pulse with its claws against his neck.

After doing all that, she lay down next to the male protagonist.

Human voices and dog barks could be heard coming from above the cave entrance, while inside the cave, a man and a beast clung tightly to each other.

This is only the surface.

Shang Yanting opened his eyes in the darkness, his arm resting on the neck of the monster beside him. Although he was now a cripple, he could still snap the monster's thin neck with just a little force.

People in the world are all hypocritical and deceitful; all the good things in the world are for ulterior motives.

He tightened his grip, his eyes filled with a mad, destructive madness...

"Everyone up there has left. Host, did you get hurt?"

Jia Xitong suddenly spoke, bringing the destruction brewing in the darkness to an abrupt halt.

"……fine."

real?

Jia Xitong lit a talisman and saw the male protagonist by the light of the fire.

His face and body were covered in injuries, especially his arms and legs. He was barely clinging to life, a truly pitiful sight.

She stuffed the talisman paper, which had been burned to ashes after borrowing the fire, into the male protagonist's mouth. In addition to the wooden statue of the god, she also developed the dual use of the incantation talisman.

Shang Yanting was fed a handful of talisman ash covered in fur; the dry ash mixed with saliva was difficult to swallow. Immediately afterwards, he felt the furry magical beast leave him.

In the darkness, the image of the short-limbed monster dragging him away appeared in his mind. Shang Yanting looked up at the sky from the cave entrance.

Now that he's become like this, he probably doesn't have anything that the "system" wants anymore.

Let's go.

He would let it go, considering it had helped him once.

Hatred and malice poured out in his pure black eyes. From this moment on, he would rather betray the world than let the world perish!

"Dear host, I've found food!"

A voice interrupted; Jia Xitong was calling to him from a short distance away, dragging the carcass of the hunting dog.

She had just seen the hunting dog's carcass fall down with them, and it was not far away. After searching carefully, she indeed found its body. The hunting dog was well-fed and plump, and felt heavy when she picked it up; it seemed like it could be used to nourish Shang Yanting.

The only downside was that it was too dark inside, and she forgot which side Shang Yanting was sitting on.

"Host, please make a sound! I can't find you."

Whether Shang Yanting was starving or not, she waited a long time before hearing the reply, "Behind you."

"oh."

Jia Xitong dragged the hunting dog, which was about the size of a raccoon, back to his side.

But how do we eat it?

The cold, dark cave offered no firewood, nor any knife to help.

Just as she was struggling with this decision, she heard the sounds of fur tearing and raw meat being chewed nearby—the sounds of people eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Sashimi... that's how it's eaten.

Jia Xitong silently tried to explain things to the male lead.

She ignored the sound and sat down at the male protagonist's feet to plan what to do next. "Those people chasing us won't give up until they find you. Let's rest for a while and then look for other exits in the cave."

Of course, it's not just about finding an exit; it's also about opportunity, the male protagonist's opportunity!

Jia Xitong carefully helped Shang Yanting plan, and then gave him all of her last five explosive talismans before collapsing beside his legs—the puppet's time was up.

The first thing she did upon returning to her sea of ​​consciousness was to draw talismans.

The road ahead is unknown, and countless dangers lie ahead. Now that Shang Yanting's cultivation has been completely destroyed, he needs explosive talismans for self-defense even more.

Fortunately, I had stockpiled a lot of materials for drawing talismans beforehand.

She bowed earnestly to the wooden statue of a deity placed beside her, and then continued drawing in her mind until dawn.

##

It was extremely dark inside the cave.

Every step forward requires a little exploration.

The passage was filled with uneven, sharp rocks and animal bones, and Shang Yanting, whose hands and feet were damaged, had to climb it!

Each thrust required enduring intense pain; his elbows and knees were already raw and bleeding.

The puppet that Jia Xitong exchanged for was also in a terrible state.

Even without soul power, the puppet cannot leave Shang Yanting's side by more than ten meters. However, since Shang Yanting was not with it, the puppet was dragged along the ground as if it were tied with a rope, and the fur on one side was worn down.

If it weren't for the fact that the puppet could only be used for two hours a day and needed to be used for more important purposes, she really wanted to go down and turn her puppet over—even if it was bald, at least make the raccoon's baldness more even.

But the most important thing now is to think about where the male protagonist's first opportunity came from.

The author of "The Arrogant God and Demon" is a real scumbag. The important part of leveling up and fighting monsters is glossed over, and most of the content is about picking up girls and having sex. There is no detailed explanation of how the male protagonist obtained those cheat abilities.

As she silently condemned the original author, Shang Yanting suddenly stopped.

A faint, subtle sound came from the depths of the cave—the crunching sound of scales rubbing against loose rocks.

It was cold and dense, inexplicably making people nervous.

The sound grew closer, and two red lanterns the size of persimmons appeared and moved rapidly. With his limbs crippled, Shang Yanting had no way to dodge and was suddenly pulled into the air by the thick, long snake's belly.

A giant python!

"Host, dear!"

Jia Xitong emerged from her sea of ​​consciousness and manipulated the raccoon to grope around on the ground. In the darkness, she could only see two bright red eyes darting around. With a flick of its massive snake tail, it sent her flying.

"Shang Yanting!"

She called out his name anxiously.

He heard it.

Shang Yanting was entangled in mid-air by a long snake, which tightened with each breath. His limbs were destroyed, leaving him powerless to break free, and his internal organs were being squeezed together.

Am I really going to die here?

His eyes reddened at the thought of his enemies' faces.

The serpent's massive fangs were already bared when, in that instant, he suddenly remembered the explosive talismans in his pocket. With a swift movement, he stuffed all the talismans into the serpent's mouth.

With a loud bang,

Jia Xitong heard the explosion, and instantly the snake's head was blown to pieces. The firelight illuminated Shang Yanting's location, and she rushed to the snake's body, raising her hands.

Shang Yanting fell heavily from the height, landing right behind the puppet raccoon.
