After seeing Xiao Tangqiu and others, the old lady trembled even more violently. She was already very thin, and she looked even smaller after curling up. From a distance, she even looked a bit like a child.

Xiao Tangqiu was startled: "Is this a human? Or a ghost?"

Tang Mianmian also cried out: "How could a normal old lady stay alone on this mountain in such cold weather?"

Xiao Tangqiu was also very suspicious. Normally, they were the only ones who trembled at the sight of ghosts, so why would ghosts tremble at the sight of them? Could it be that Shen Yuan was so famous that even the ghosts in the dungeon knew his name? He was known as the "Ghost-Seeing City of the Abyss"?

Shen Yuan said calmly: "She is a human."

This is absolutely an authoritative judgment. Since Shen Yuan said that this old lady is a human, then she must not be a ghost, at least not yet.

Xiao Tangqiu stepped forward and asked, "Old lady, why are you here alone so late?" Could this old lady be the first NPC they encountered in this dungeon?

Seeing Xiao Tangqiu approaching, the old lady trembled even more violently. She curled up into a ball and refused to answer.

Seeing this, Yu Fuling smiled kindly at the old lady and said, "Don't be afraid, old lady. We are not bad people. We just saw that you were alone here and were worried that you might have some problems, so we came to ask you."

Perhaps seeing that Yu Fuling was a girl, the old lady relaxed her guard a little, but she was still shaking violently. She said tremblingly, "You...you should leave quickly!"

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Celluloid also asked.

The old lady shook her head desperately: "I'm not in any trouble... Strangers, please leave!"

Yu Fuling and Sailulu looked at each other and said at the same time: "Old lady, if you have any troubles, just tell us. Don't worry, we will help you."

"Yes! Old lady, you don't have to be afraid!"

The old lady trembled even more violently. "I don't need your help! Strangers! Please leave! I beg you!"

Seeing the old lady almost burst into tears, everyone was very surprised. Isn't this usually the meaning of the NPC issuing a task? They wanted to accept the task, but the NPC refused to let them?

Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but exchange a glance with Tang Mianmian. What was going on? Had the conditions for accepting the mission not yet been triggered?

"Old lady, there are wolves and wild beasts on this mountain. Are you sure you want to stay on the mountain alone?" Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Stranger, go away! Baigui Village is not the place you should come to!" The old lady was very stubborn. She seemed not to hear the howling of wolves and the cry of unknown beasts coming from not far away, or perhaps she had heard them already but turned a deaf ear to them.

"Hundred Ghosts Village?" Xiao Tangqiu was stunned. "Is this the Hundred Ghosts Village?"

"Go!" The old lady's expression became more and more ferocious, even baring her teeth and claws, trying to drive Xiao Tangqiu and others away, "Get out! Get out now!"

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly became troubled. What should he do now?

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from not far away.

The heart-wrenching screams broke the silence of the desolate mountain, but made it even more creepy.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Shen Yuan's expression was stern: "Over there!"

He looked at the top of the mountain not far away, and everyone immediately rushed in that direction without hesitation.

Xiao Tangqiu also hurriedly chased after them. The screams were not far away, only about ten meters away. They soon arrived and saw a tragic scene.

A wolf was pressing on an old lady and biting her body continuously. The old lady kept struggling and rolling, screaming in pain.

“Ahhhhhh!”

"Save her quickly!" Yu Fuling was about to rush forward, but was stopped by someone.

The old lady they had seen before actually rushed straight in front of them, grabbed Yu Fuling, and opened her arms to block them, shouting angrily: "Strangers! Get out!"

Her frail body burst out with astonishing speed and strength, firmly blocking Yu Fuling and Duan Hongzhen who were about to rescue them, her eyes wide open: "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Xiao Tangqiu was suddenly shocked. The old lady's behavior did not seem like she was stopping them to save them. It seemed more like she was stopping them from saving the old lady who was bitten!

The others were obviously very surprised. Could it be that these two old ladies had a grudge against each other?

"Ahhhhh! Help me! Help me quickly!" The old lady on the ground couldn't bear the severe pain of being bitten and couldn't help but scream.

The old lady who was stopping Yu Fuling shouted, "Junko! For Ichiro! Just bear with it!"

Junko? Ichiro? These two names...

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned, and then he looked again and found that the lady on the ground was wearing a kimono, and it seemed to be a very formal kimono.

"Chiyo... I can't bear it anymore! Save me! Save me!"

The old woman on the ground struggled frantically and began to cry and beg, "I'm your sister! Save me! Save me!"

"Junko! Just bear with it a little longer! You'll be able to... be free soon..."

The old lady who was stopping people from rescuing him seemed unable to bear to watch any longer and turned her head away.

Yu Fuling and Duan Hongzhen took the opportunity to rush out. Duan Hongzhen threw a flying knife and hit the wolf's left eye!

"Woooooooooo!"

The wild wolf cried out in pain and was about to run away in anger, but Yu Fuling suddenly got behind it and chopped off its head cleanly, cutting it in half and separating its head from its body!

The knife falls, the head falls!

When Yu Fuling put away her Tang sword, the wild wolf had already died, but the old lady on the ground was not in a good situation either. She was torn to pieces, her intestines were ripped open, and her organs were spilling out.

"Help... Help me..." The old lady was spitting blood and begging for help in her dying breath, but anyone could see that she would not live long.

Yu Fuling looked at the old lady, then shook her head silently. Although they had special medicine to heal wounds, it was impossible to save this level of injuries... In this case, only the teleportation cabin in the Abyss City could save her.
