"Not leaving? I'd like to see what's on this road of yours."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the ordinary steel knife, but remained fearless. He snorted coldly and darted into the night.
Walk along the edge of the narrow path, continuing inwards.
During this time, the leaves in the dense forest rustled incessantly, and occasionally wild animals could be heard rustling as they moved about.
Amidst the chirping of insects.
Jiangcheng keeps moving forward.
He concealed himself, lowered his breathing, and almost blended into the night, becoming completely undetectable.
Its eyes were scanning its surroundings, sensing even the slightest movement of the wind or grass.
A few minutes later, Jiang Cheng was already standing on a high tree branch.
His voice was extremely low, standing out against the inky blackness...
Where is Minglingye's dog tag hidden?
"I...I don't know, please spare me, I've never seen anything you're talking about!"
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Cheng suddenly frowned.
His gaze pierced through the layers of the tree canopy, and through the gaps, the dense foliage concealed a spot—a lake not far away.
The water ripples, reflecting the stars and the full moon.
However, by the lake, a group of people surrounded the lame assassin. They were all dressed in black, with piercing eyes, and the atmosphere around them was so cold that the kneeling assassin trembled.
Jiang Cheng sneaked over and hid behind a big tree, observing coldly.
Minnglingye!
That's his name in this dream world!
The talking continued...
"The Lord arranged for you to befriend him, and you two are the only ones in the entire Xiayi Village who have such close ties. Do you mean you haven't found out anything in the past few months?"
Yes! Absolutely!
The lame assassin wore a large linen coat, his trousers were covered in mud, and tears streamed down his face. His eyes were wide with terror, and he hurriedly took two steps forward on his knees.
"Then tell me!"
"Mingling Ye is plotting rebellion and colluding with rebels; he must be arrested and executed!"
"Oh? How do you know? Did he tell you?"
The leader, dressed in black, was a middle-aged man whose face was obscured. He could only be seen wearing a fox mask, and his voice was hoarse and deep, devoid of any emotion.
The middle-aged man crossed his arms, with a sheathed steel knife in his arms.
It seems that everyone around him is wary of him.
When he spoke, no one dared to interrupt; the rest of the people stood motionless like tree stumps.
“He didn’t say that… but I could tell from the meaning in his words.”
"Then you've got some skills."
"Why not kill him! Search around and find the dog tag."
"Can't you use your pig-like brain to think? Of course, the master wants both life and possessions, otherwise Ming Lingye would have died a hundred times over!" The middle-aged man sneered. "Fine, the master has run out of patience. We'll get rid of him tonight!"
Jiang Cheng, hiding behind a tree, frowned deeply at this moment.
Damn, what a coincidence.
Even walking alone at night, you can encounter someone who intends to murder you.
Looking at this lineup, it's definitely not an ordinary situation.
So this so-called "master" hates me so much... and what is this dog tag anyway?
Jiang Cheng felt like a million curses were stampeding through his mind.
Can this dream world inherit the original owner's memories? Every time, it's like the blind men and the elephant, it's incredibly tiring.
While learning about the different dimensions, they also played their roles.
It's driving me almost to the point of having a split personality.
He rolled his eyes in the darkness.
Keep listening to these people.
“You lead the way, we do the work… Tomorrow morning will be a bloody infighting among the assassins, and you, keep the secret to yourself.”
"Understood! Don't worry!"
The crippled assassin, as if granted a pardon, let out a loud "thump!"
He slammed his head to the ground, the muffled sound revealing utter submission.
Then, ignoring the mud on his head, the man scrambled to his feet, bowing and scraping.
"I'll show you the way!"
"No need, just follow closely behind."
In an instant, the figures of more than a dozen assassins disappeared like ghosts from the lakeside.
In less than half a second, they all disappeared into the dense forest.
All that can be seen is the rustling of branches in the lush canopy, with the occasional leaf falling.
But you can't catch a glimpse of a person at all.
"Boss, should we kill them?"
Gu Qingwan suddenly appeared behind Jiang Cheng, her voice soft, and put an arm around his shoulder.
"No need, we were just worried about not having any NPCs to explain the world's lore, and this has come to us. Let's hurry up and wait inside."
A smile appeared in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
Some were even eagerly anticipating it.
He was still thinking about how to test how powerful the humanoid mech was when the test came!
It was like I was about to fall asleep when someone immediately handed me a pillow.
He immediately leaped up to the treetop, turned his head, and saw a hidden path to his left.
If they were faster, they could definitely get home before these people arrived, pretend to be fast asleep, and catch them like fish in a barrel.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Cheng no longer hesitated.
"Buzz buzz buzz—" A sound like the buzzing of a mosquito rang out, and a pale blue fluorescence emerged, resembling a cold ghost flame in the night.
Silvery-white scales gradually emerged from Jiang Cheng's ankles, enveloping his entire foot and reflecting the bright moonlight.
The engine propelled him straight into the sky.
The heart of the universe beats in my chest like an inextinguishable sun.
He suddenly soared into the sky, streaking across the heavens like a shooting star, his eyes scanning the forest for any signs of life.
A cold smile played on his lips.
Tonight, for Jiangcheng, is a time of slaughter.
