Fang Ruotang dodged the branches that were whipped in front of her as if it were a game.
Since the land they lived on was elevated, she viewed these cultivators, or these ghosts and monsters, as if they were on a slow-motion special effect.
She could see their moves clearly, so she was able to parry them easily.
Fang Ruotang stepped onto a branch that had been pulled away and called out to Gu Nancheng's back.
Be careful.
"I will."
In the blink of an eye, Gu Nancheng had already traveled several meters away, and his voice carried over from afar.
[Keep your eyes on him.]
Fang Ruotang not only kept a close eye on Gu Nancheng herself, but also called Xiao Jingzi along. Xiao Jingzi kept an eye on him while chatting.
[My lord, there's no need to worry. Our lord isn't so useless as to be completely incompetent.]
【What, at this point, aren't they the useless people you used to call them?】
Times have changed.
Fang Ruotang was so angry she laughed.
Fortunately, this thing was created by Gu Yanjin and the other six people working together, and now they are reaping the consequences of their own actions. She is afraid that Xiao Jingzi's sharp tongue might hurt them, as anything that belongs to her.
Fang Ruotang lowered her eyes and looked at the tree branch that she had stepped on.
It resisted fiercely, but her feet were like a boulder, firmly pressing it to the ground so it couldn't move.
"What, you want to come out and hit me?"
As if it could understand Fang Ruotang's words, the tree branch paused its twisting motion for a moment, and then resisted even more fiercely.
"Tsk!"
Fang Ruotang was speechless. She didn't know where this tree branch got its confidence from. It had been trampled under her feet and still wanted to kill her.
With a powerful push of her toes, the tree branch turned to dust and vanished on the spot.
Fang Ruotang waited for a while and saw that no new branches were growing. She didn't know if it was because no new branches had grown, or if the tree had become so intelligent that it had human emotions and could feel fear.
However, this didn't affect anything. Fang Ruotang took the initiative, found other branches, and stepped on them as she walked.
She didn't pay much attention until she was almost in front of Gu Nancheng, when he suddenly called out to her, "Xiao Ruoruo, don't come any closer."
"Hmm?" Fang Ruotang's expression changed. Instead of obediently going over, she teleported directly to Gu Nancheng's side.
She thought something had happened to Gu Nancheng, but when she looked up, her expression changed drastically. She said, "How can there be tree demons in the Ghost Realm?" This was not a tree demon at all; it was a giant statue or a mound of skulls, which had been combined to form a disgusting new body.
Their bodies weren't actually bodies, but rather a composite of countless heads, each with countless eyes and mouths.
The moment she moved, all eyes turned to her.
Fang Ruotang was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.
"What the hell is this thing?"
"Aaaaah! You look down on me! How dare you look down on me! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Fang Ruotang felt a chill run down her spine. It was as if thousands of mouths were opening and closing simultaneously in front of her, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
Gu Nancheng hugged Fang Ruotang, letting her bury her face in his chest, and said helplessly, "This thing is too ugly. I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if you see it, so I won't let you come over."
"Explain yourself clearly! If you had said it was this thing earlier, I wouldn't have come over even if you killed me. When you shouted like that, I thought you were in danger."
Fang Ruotang buried herself in Gu Nancheng's arms, complaining in a muffled voice.
Gu Nancheng immediately admitted his mistake, "I didn't explain it clearly. I will explain it clearly next time. You can go to the back first. Don't watch anymore. If this thing were to fight, it would probably be extremely disgusting."
Gu Nancheng also felt a bit nauseous because he saw the bizarre tree covered with human faces, eyes, and mouths fighting, with countless mouths detaching from the trunk and heading towards him.
Meanwhile, countless eyes on the tree trunk were watching him with malice and schadenfreude.
This time, Fang Ruotang was extremely obedient. She let go of Gu Nancheng and ran away in a flash. She was no longer the good wife who had been watching over Gu Nancheng and worried about him getting hurt.
Men are men! What's the big deal about getting a little hurt?
It's not like she's beyond saving.
Even if there's only one soul left, she still has the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, which can take him in; it's just a different form of companionship.
It's nothing serious.
Fang Ruotang arrived at the entrance she had just been teleported to, but she couldn't find a way back. There was no turning back in this ghost realm.
Fang Ruotang shuddered and quickly climbed onto the protective shield, turning her back to the battlefield. She wasn't afraid of being disgusted; she completely trusted Gu Nancheng.
Didn't you see that she always shows her back to the public?
What is he doing?
Fang Ruotang suddenly heard the sound of popping beads. She resisted turning around to look, but couldn't help asking Xiao Jingzi out of curiosity.
The little mirror was also disgusted, but it was, after all, a good spirit that protected Fang Ruotang. Knowing that she was impatient to see these things, it did not project them over.
[Killing those weird and strange things.]
Fang Ruotang scrunched up her little face. With her rich imagination, she shook her head vigorously, trying to shake all the images in her mind out of her head. Her brain was almost out of her head, but her imagination just wouldn't stop. She could only try to distract herself by looking for other people.
The five people who were suddenly connected to the network all spoke up nervously.
What's wrong? What happened?
[Something terrible has happened! We've reached the fifth level. There's a disgusting tree here. It must have devoured a lot of people. The trunk is covered in eyes and mouths. It's so disgusting! As soon as I walked over, all those eyes stared at me, and it could even talk! Can you imagine so many mouths talking at the same time? It made me want to throw up.]
The five people breathed a sigh of relief. They knew Fang Ruotang well, and hearing such a vibrant voice, they knew that she was alright.
"Let Gu Nancheng go." Gu Yanjin immediately betrayed Gu Nancheng.
Everyone knows that the little girl loves to be pretty and clean. Although they haven't seen the situation in the fifth level with their own eyes, just hearing the description makes them feel physically uncomfortable.
Moreover, a girl like Xiao Liu has always loved pretty things, so how could she tolerate these things?
[Hehe, I'm hiding, with my back to him! Let Nan Cheng fight monsters all by himself.] Fang Ruotang's laughter had a hint of slyness in it.
The five of them were thrilled to hear that.
Fang Ruotang no longer cared about Gu Nancheng.
They had just experienced a synesthetic connection; the physical reactions gave them a general idea of the situation. But even without the full set, they were still jealous.
The most important thing is that Gu Nancheng not only has Fang Ruotang's attentive service, but he can also go through trials and tribulations with her and spend time alone with her.
So what if he suffers a little? He deserves it.
"Well done, that's how it should be. His skills are too poor. You're doing this for his own good, so treat him the same way in the next level and the level after that, understand?" Huo Zhige suggested with a wicked smile.
