The cable car stopped in front of a swamp.

The air was damp and filled with the smell of rotting earth.

"I've been to this swamp before. There are no monsters in it. It's very safe." Xiling Ling held the door of the cable car and tapped the ground with her toes to make sure the ground was hard before walking down.

Gu Huaiwei felt the same cold aura here as on Lin She.

What a familiar feeling.

The swamp was shrouded in fog, with dark green algae floating on the surface of the water and black silt underneath. From time to time, a few bubbles would be spit out, making gurgling sounds like the gastric juice of the earth.

"Be careful! There are snakes!" Xiling Ling pointed to the mangroves in the front right, whose roots were exposed above the water. Several black snakes were hanging on the twisted branches.

From a distance, it looks like vines wrapped around the tree.

"That's strange. There weren't any snakes like these when I passed by this swamp before."

Gu Huaiwei's hair, which had been scattered on her shoulders, was tied up in a loose low bun to prevent the branches in the swamp from snagging her. "The gates of paradise are open, and they have returned home."

"Who?" Xiling Ling didn't understand.

"Of course it's my little assistants who don't have much conscience." There was no special emotion in Gu Huaiwei's tone.

Xiling Ling was tactful enough not to ask any further questions.

She picked up a long bamboo pole and poked the relatively dry ground with it while walking forward carefully.

"When walking in a swamp, it is best to walk along the edge of the plants and avoid the dark soil and the watery part in the center." Xilingling shared her experience of walking in a swamp.

Compared to her, Gu Huaiwei seemed much more relaxed. She had experienced the martial arts dimension and had already mastered the art of lightness, so she could walk through such a place as if it were flat ground.

"There seems to be someone there." Xiling Ling frowned. "No, it's not a person. It must be one of those monsters in disguise. We should not get close."

I saw a young man in black leaning against the raised roots of the mangrove tree.

His black hair was wet and stuck to his pale cheeks. His neck was covered with dark scales from the collarbone down to the collarbone. His eyes were closed, his thin black lips were pursed, and his lower body was soaked in the water. The turbid water surface was dark red.

"You wait here, I'll go take a look." Gu Huaiwei left the Xiling Bell where it was and lightly tapped the water with her toes.

The floating algae on the water surface sank slightly, and she flew to the side of the forest snake as light as a swallow, dragged him out of the water, and brought him to the slightly drier shore.

Fortunately, when it was dragged up, there was no long black snake tail underneath.

Xilingling is still trapped in the swamp.

Gu Huaiwei felt it was unsafe to leave her there alone, so she stood up and prepared to carry her over.

At this moment, a cold hand grasped Gu Huaiwei's wrist.

"Don't go." Lin She slowly opened his dark green eyes. His eyes were like bottomless stagnant water, without a single light shining through.

"I'll be back soon."

Lin She didn't let go: "Did you take the cable car behind the haunted house in the amusement park to get up here?"

"right."

A smile flashed across Lin She's lips: "Then I'm really lucky to be the first one to meet you."

"Let go first. I met Xiling Ling on the way. She is an ordinary human and can't withstand the miasma in the swamp."

Lin She's voice was weak. Beneath his damp black shirt was a hideous, bleeding wound. He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the wound: "But I'm injured too."

Gu Huaiwei glanced at the tight, thin muscles on his abdomen, then quickly looked away.

His skin was pale and bloodless, and blood flowed down his groin, with a cruel beauty that was very tempting.

I can't watch it anymore. If I watch it again, I'll become a sadist and want to whip him a few more times.

"Who hurt you?" After all, they had been together for so long, and not asking a single question seemed too cold and heartless.

Lin She lowered his head, a crack forming along the corner of his thin black lips, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction: "I went to the castle to ask my boss to settle my work wages, but he said it was not time for us to settle yet."

There is a miserable feeling that an employee fails to get his salary and is beaten by his boss instead.

Gu Huaiwei had a bad feeling: "What's the reward?"

Lin She raised his head, his black hair covering half of his eyes. He looked at her with his dark pupils and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Come back to me from the castle, and I'll tell you."

Xiling Ling did not wait there, but knocked the ground with a bamboo pole and slowly walked towards the direction of Gu Huaiwei.

Lin She waved his sleeves lightly, and the miasma surrounding Xiling Ling dissipated.

"Miss Gu, after you go to the castle, your boss will invite you to stay and work in the paradise." Lin She propped himself up and stood up. The wound that had been bleeding and gradually clotted opened again. He seemed to feel no pain and let the blood flow. "Don't trust him. He's a liar who only knows how to say nice things and never pays us on time."

"We'll talk about this later." Gu Huaiwei was concerned about something else. "Lin Snake, after the gate of the amusement park is opened, can we enter and exit freely? The entrance and exit are not in the same place, right? I entered the amusement park through the iron gate, but I found that there are still mountains outside the iron gate. It doesn't seem like a place to leave."

"The exit is inside the castle." Lin She's expression was exceptionally cold when he mentioned leaving. "Now that you're here, don't rush to leave. I've prepared a welcoming banquet for you. We'll celebrate with you after you visit the administrator."

Gu Huaiwei suddenly remembered the "Beasts Sharing Food Picture" that she got when she was sorting out Xilingyuan's belongings.

The six beasts sitting at the dining table enjoyed their meal first.

The extra ones go to the wild beasts of the jungle.

"Where are He Xueyi and the others?"

"Don't worry about them. After work, they have returned to their own territory." Lin She concealed the fact that others were also waiting for Gu Huaiwei to visit.

Where Gu Huaiwei couldn't see, a long, forked tongue emerged from his open mouth.
