Nie Yuchen sighed and got out of the car.
The road he drove out on was not short, and now it would be difficult for him to walk back.
The two walked for a while.
Nie Yuchen felt much better. He looked at the blue line and saw that it had slowly descended from his chest.
It seems this thing really is the curse Mingluo mentioned; the farther away it is, the more powerful the curse becomes.
He couldn't help but blush when he remembered how Mingluo had tugged at his clothes earlier.
He asked, "Are you tired? If you are, I'll carry you on my back."
“No need!” Mingluo said calmly.
However, this journey was indeed very tiring...
Moreover, it's very likely that it won't make it in time, and nobody knows what will happen if the curse lasts longer.
She silently took out her wooden figure, which, after being infused with spiritual power, quickly grew to an enormous size.
"Come on up!"
The wooden figure squatted down.
Minglu sat on the wooden figure's left arm and looked back at Nie Yuchen.
Nie Yuchen felt a strange sensation. He sat on the wooden figure's right arm and inexplicably felt as if he had entered a fairy tale world.
The wooden figure stood up, its long legs taking a long stride.
As they walked through the mountains, Nie Yuchen kept pointing out directions.
When Mingluo sensed that they were about to see someone ahead, she made the wooden figure stop.
The two climbed off the wooden figure. Minglu put away the shrunken wooden figure and looked into the distance.
There was a group of people there, moving slowly and steadily with strange steps, heading in one direction.
It was those villagers.
Their faces were blank, their eyes were strange, and their steps were uneven, as if they had stepped into a pothole, even though the road was clearly flat.
Minglu watched for a long time and felt it was a strange dance.
She gestured for them to follow quietly.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, they crossed a river.
Mist rises from the stream, and upon closer inspection, one can see many small white flowers on it.
The flowers were blooming exceptionally beautifully.
Each person picked up a small flower and put it in their mouth, chewing it heartily.
In the darkness, it seemed as if swallowing sounds could be heard everywhere, and a chill crept in inexplicably.
Suddenly, the leader finished eating the flower, looked in Mingluo's direction, and flashed a strange smile, his white teeth appearing eerie in the night sky.
Mingluo: "..."
After finishing their meal, the group swam across the river to the other side. They were all soaking wet, yet they seemed oblivious to the cold and continued walking forward without noticing.
Minglu then realized that those people had somehow brought out another coffin.
The coffin had been blocked by people until the crowd dispersed while crossing the river, at which point we finally saw it clearly.
A group of people left.
Mingluo and Nie Yuchen walked to the riverbank.
By sheer coincidence, there were only two beautifully blooming white flowers in the river.
These flowers look so cute, it makes me want to...eat them...
The thought sent a chill down Mingluo's spine.
This place is indeed strange.
She was affected.
At that moment, Nie Yuchen actually bent down to pick the white flower.
Minglu grabbed his hand. "What are you doing?"
A dark glint flashed in Nie Yuchen's eyes, as if he had come to his senses.
He said in a deep voice, "I think I've been affected; something's not right here."
"indeed!"
Minglu bent down to pick a flower.
This time, Nie Yuchen pulled him back instead. "I'll do it!"
He picked two flowers from the river, giving one to Mingluo and keeping the other for himself.
The two did not eat the flowers, but instead wore them in the pockets on their chests.
This place looks very strange. This white flower seems to be some kind of entry permit. I'll take it just in case.
The river is very wide.
Minglu took out the wooden figure and led the two across the river.
Following the wet river water marks on the ground, the two soon arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Those people had vanished, leaving only a dark cave.
The two went inside.
The moment the two stepped inside, an inconspicuous, dark sphere outside suddenly moved, its gaze fixed on Mingluo, and it blinked.
In that instant, a talisman flew out of the cave and stuck to the eyeball.
Mingluo leaped out of the cave and looked at the eyeball, feeling nauseous.
