Su Deng said coldly, "Yes."

Qin Xian frowned. "But what for?"

Su Deng remained silent for a moment, then his thin, cold lips moved slightly, uttering four words, "For eternal life."

Combining all the clues and what the mountain god had just said, Su Deng finally concluded that the Taoist priest, in his pursuit of immortality, imprisoned the mountain god, created a mountain demon, deceived and controlled the villagers, and drained their blood and life force...

"Damn it!" Qin Xian's anger flared up. "Even though it's just a game, if what you said is true, sacrificing so many children and killing so many people, this Taoist priest is just too damn perverted! He... Hey, Su Deng, why did you leave without calling me? Wait for me!"

As he was cursing, he caught a glimpse of Su Deng walking past out of the corner of his eye, and quickly chased after her.

“Those are ghosts! Su Deng, can you please not walk through them…”

"They won't hurt anyone."

"But it's a ghost too!"

"You don't have to follow me."

"I……"

So many ghosts. They might not hurt anyone at first glance, but who knows when they might go crazy? You can kill people, but you can't kill ghosts. He's not stupid. He's going to follow Su Deng. Even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him.

Qin Xian kept his eyes straight ahead, not daring to look at those ghosts even once. He followed Su Deng's footprints and caught up with her, staying close by every step. "I won't settle the score with you for kicking me off the mountain, but you still owe me eight hundred points. Don't even think about leaving me behind!"

"idiot."

Su Deng cursed under her breath and continued walking into the passage ahead.

But this place is like a maze, and after who knows how much time has passed, there is still no exit in sight.

Qin Xian plopped down on the ground. "Let me rest for a bit!"

"You can just die here. Not only will you not get tired anymore, but the mountain god will also perform a ritual for you." Su Deng said sarcastically, without stopping.
