Xiao Qi looked at the host who was sitting on the bed and trying hard to cut the demon-trapping chain, then glanced at the task bar that had started the countdown, gritted his teeth, and began to move his fingers stealthily.
Electronic Sound, who was watching the fun from the side, saw this scene and didn't step forward to stop it. Instead, he came close to Xiao Qi and looked at the little short fingers that kept flying on the keyboard. His tone was unusually dull: "You can't unlock this lock. Let's just give up."
"For example, think about how the host would escape after failing in his mission?"
Electronic Sound is well aware of Xiao Qi's strength. It can't help the host solve such a difficult problem. It's better to think of other ways.
Xiao Qi continued with his work, glancing at the still-struggling host, his tone tinged with mockery, "Running away? Do you have some misunderstanding about the host?"
"If the hero returns to find that the person lying in bed is not his beloved fiancée, but a pig demon trapped in a demon chain, would the host, at his current level, have the energy to escape?"
Before, Xiao Qi could have found a way for the host to exploit a loophole in the mission, allowing it to be completed smoothly and thus avoid the mission penalty. But now even the windows were blocked, with walls on all sides. How could he escape? Where could he run to?
It has already imagined the scene where after the mission fails, the male protagonist will turn his face black and stab the host with a sword to kill him.
Do we have to expect the host to stare at a pig face, pull the male protagonist's sleeve and cry to explain that he is not a monster and it's all a misunderstanding?
It definitely didn't look down on the male protagonist's love for the host, but the transformation of a beautiful woman into a beast was something that was unheard of and unseen. Furthermore, the host's realm was already low, and if he really turned into a pig demon, he might not even be able to speak properly.
Electronic Sound once again discovered that its partner's eloquence was really good, at least better than its own.
Moreover, it discovered that whenever the host encountered a problem that could not be solved, the beast in front of it would habitually go crazy.
Yes, that's crazy.
Electronic Sound originally thought that Tongzi in front of him was targeting the demon-trapping lock, but it turned out to be overthinking.
Xiaoqi is obviously also a self-aware ruler.
However, the originally intact bedpost suddenly developed a crack, and the location happened to be the other end of the demon-trapping lock.
Electronic Sound looked at Xiao Qi, who was not surprised at all, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In the silent room, a strange sound was particularly clear. Ning Wan, who was originally concentrating on attacking the demon-trapping lock, suddenly stopped.
She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the other end of the demon-trapping chain.
The bedpost, which was at least as thick as an arm, had cracked, as if it had been shaken open from the inside out by someone using internal force.
[Host, although we cannot unlock this lock, we can still dismantle the bed.]
Seeing that the host didn't move, Xiao Qi coughed lightly and reminded the host. It actually wanted to unlock the lock directly, but unfortunately its strength didn't allow it to do so in a high-profile manner.
After receiving some instructions, Ning Wan looked at the dagger in his hand thoughtfully for a moment, and the next second the blade fell on the crack.
The electronic sound watching this scene sighed, looked at the somewhat complacent Xiao Qi and said no more. Like an elderly man, he walked slowly, step by step, to the corner where he often squatted.
Ning Wan had thought that the weapon cultivator's magic weapon was powerful, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Looking at the half-carved bedpost in front of her, Ning Wan shook her hands and worked hard for another half an incense stick of time.
The first thing Ning Wan did after successfully getting out of bed was to take a deep breath, then she wrapped up the demon-trapping chain and put it into her sleeve, then turned around and opened the door.
…
On the other side, on the way to the place where He Song was imprisoned.
Xu Shan walked in front of Shen Jinggu, guessing that the person behind him must not know much about Chongtou Village, so he took a detour several times, trying to delay some time.
He couldn't explain what he was thinking. In short, he didn't want Shen Jinggu to see the fox, and he didn't want the fox to fall into his hands.
Even if the fox deserved to die, it should have died at his hands.
The fifth time, when Xu Shan tried to take Chen Jinggu to another fork in the road, Chen Jinggu did not follow him mindlessly as he wished. Instead, he stopped where he was and put the spiritual sword on the side of Xu Shan's neck again.
The Qingshuang Sword, just as its name suggests, carries a chilling feeling throughout.
Even if Xu Shan was not really hurt, he had the illusion that his blood was frozen.
"Master, what do you mean?"
"I'm leading you with good intentions. Master, are you going to destroy the bridge before you even save anyone?"
Xu Shan, who was caught off guard and threatened again, froze for a moment and retorted almost instantly.
He wanted to turn around and ask Shen Jinggu to move the sword away, but after he finished speaking, he clearly felt that the sword was obviously a little closer.
"This road has just been traveled."
Shen Jinggu's eyes were slightly cold, and he explained in a calm tone.
If Chen Jinggu's sword on his neck had not reminded him, Xu Shan would have really thought that the man behind him was just giving him a kind reminder.
Xu Shan swallowed hard, his hands quietly clenching the clothes at his sides. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead because of Chen Jinggu's short ten words. He first forced a smile, then spoke apologetically:
"There are many paths in the mountains, and it's common to take the wrong path. Please don't misunderstand me, Master."
Xu Shan's attitude of admitting his mistake was sincere, but all he got was the blade approaching his neck again.
"Xu Shan, put away those cunning thoughts of yours." Chen Jinggu's voice became even colder, even carrying a bit of spiritual pressure that shouldn't be released. "Things have come to this point. Do you think you still have a way out?"
"If you want Yuan Qing to get into trouble, you can continue to waste time."
Shen Jinggu put the sword back.
Xu Shan couldn't see, and naturally couldn't see that Shen Jinggu's sword wasn't aimed at him from the beginning to the end. The shimmering blade simply stabbed the ghostly creature clinging to the side of Xu Shan's neck, ready to absorb his essence.
It couldn't make any sound, and seemed unwilling to disperse like this. The soul-like thing gathered together again, wanting to take a breath before dissipating.
But Shen Jinggu's sword came a little closer, with an inhuman chill, and completely removed the dirt stuck on Xu Shan.
If I had only suspected Yuan Qing before, now it was more than just suspicion.
Before Xu Shan entered the house, Shen Jinggu had already removed this life-threatening dirty thing once. Now that it appeared again, it could only be the work of the person in the house.
It was just that Shen Jinggu had no intention of explaining much to Xu Shan. Threatening Xu Shan was not his original intention, but he did have this thought. Therefore, even though he knew that the other party had misunderstood, Shen Jinggu had no intention of clarifying it.
Xu Shan also turned his head because of what Shen Jinggu said, his eyes full of shock, as if he couldn't believe that the immortal master in front of him would use such inferior methods to threaten people.
