Chapter 62 Jade Ring

The middle-aged woman slowly woke up, her lips moving as she said weakly, "Water, I want to drink water."

Liu Jianan gave her a bottle of mineral water and a piece of bread.

The woman ate voraciously, and in a blink of an eye only half of the bread was left, and the mineral water was also empty.

She swallowed her saliva, obviously not full yet.

But she still stuffed the bread into her pocket.

"Thank you for saving me, I don't have anything to repay you, this ring is worth some money, I give it to you."

The woman took off her jade ring and stuffed it into Liu Jianan's hand.

Liu Jianan quickly declined: "It's just a small favor, you don't need to repay us, can you tell us how you got hurt, that's your way of repaying us."

The woman nodded and said: "I'm a villager living nearby. A few days ago, there was a sudden fog in the mountain, which lasted for a long time and seriously affected the normal life of the villagers."

"So we gathered a few companions who are familiar with the mountain road to find the cause of the fog together."

"We walked along the mountain road and finally found a giant tree that sprays mist."

Xu Zhaoxin asked thoughtfully: "The mist is so thick, can you still tell the direction?"

The woman smiled and said: "Mountain people who grew up in the mountains have their own ways to tell the direction, and some of us have awakened wind abilities and can blow away the mist in a small area."

"What about the others?" Zhang Yaoyao asked.

The woman's smile faded and she shook her head: "We are separated."

"That giant tree is too powerful. As soon as we stepped into its territory, we were attacked by its leaves and whipped by its branches."

Thinking of that scene, the woman couldn't help shivering: "I fainted on the spot. When I woke up, I saw you and the others were nowhere to be seen."

"Kind people, please, if you see them, can you save them?" The woman clasped her hands together, her eyes full of pleading.

Liu Jianan comforted her, "If we meet them, we will definitely lend a helping hand. But there are many dangers here, and we are afraid we can't search and rescue them. I hope you can understand."

The woman thanked them repeatedly, "That's great, thank you, thank you so much."

Zhao Simo suddenly asked her, "The mountain road is steep and the fog is heavy. Do you need us to take you down the mountain?"

The woman hurriedly said, "No, I know how to go back, so I won't trouble you."

Zhao Simo continued to ask, "How many of you are there in total?"

The woman was stunned: "Three."

When the woman left everyone's sight, Zhao Simo's slightly sarcastic voice rang out, "This woman is not right."

Liu Jianan felt the same way. He touched his pocket, and the ring he had returned to the woman appeared in his pocket.

He took the jade ring and examined it carefully. Was this ring a must-have gift?

Hu Jianye was confused and felt that his brain was not enough: "Wait a minute, what's wrong with that aunt? I can't keep up with your thoughts."

Xu Zhaoxin said: "She said she was from the mountains, but her shoes were brand new."

Liu Jianan added: "She didn't have a hairpin on her hand. I saw it when she gave me the ring."

"She acted alone," Zhao Simo fiddled with his watch and said in a deep voice, "I kept emphasizing the word 'mountain' to guide her to say three people when she answered me how many people there were in total."

Mountain and three are pronounced similarly. Zhao Simo used psychological suggestion to make the woman reveal her flaws.

"If she had decided to go with three people, she should have emphasized the two of them in the beginning, instead of using the term 'they' in general." Zhao Simo said.

Xu Zhaoxin was impressed by his actions, and he calculated secretly in his heart, and finally came to the conclusion: "Although your speculation sounds far-fetched, the accuracy rate is as high as 90%."

"Do you regret saving her now?" Zhao Simo raised the corner of his lips proudly at Liu Jianan.

Regret?

Liu Jianan thought for a while: "She was surprised when she saw me for the first time."

"So?" Zhao Simo disagreed.

Liu Jianan said: "So even if I had doubts, I didn't choose to detain her, let alone kill her."

Zhao Simo sneered: "Xiao Tiantian, do you believe in your own judgment so much?"

Liu Jianan pondered for a moment. His confidence came not only from self-confidence, but also from the Book of Superpowers.

This woman is indeed not a villager, she is one of the guardians of the Space Gourd.

The ring that the woman gave him is not an ordinary jade ring, but a key to the test.

Without the ring, it is impossible to accept the test, so in the novel, even if the Heaven-shaking Tree was defeated by the superpower and the fog dissipated, no one could enter the test.

Until the arrival of the protagonist group, Gu Letian used the healing superpower to rescue the fainted guardian, and then he entered the test place by accident.

However, Gu Letian's healing ability had reached level five at that time. Liu Jianan was worried that his father could not reach this level, so he brought an extra bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

Everything was within his expectations.

He did not want to say more. The content of the novel in the Book of Powers was his trump card. He did not even tell his closest people, let alone the old fox. If he

really told them, he might be sold out and have to count the money for others.

"Let's go and defeat the tree that emits mist first." Liu Jianan said seriously.

Zhao Simo said with a smile: "You don't have to be so blunt to change the topic, sweetie?"

"What do you care?" Liu Jianan pretended to be angry.

In fact, he was very happy.

Old fox, you didn't expect that you would be deceived one day, right?

In one word, it feels so good!

Going up further, there are no more stone steps, and what comes into view is a winding mountain road.

"An'an, since there is something wrong with that woman, is the giant tree that she said hurt people true or false?" Hu Jianye scratched his head, feeling his cerebellum shrink. Liu

Jian'an said calmly: "The injuries on her body don't seem fake, the giant tree must have hurt people. When the time comes, we will attack from a distance and try not to get close to its attack range."

"Understood!" Hearing that they were going to use a long-range attack, Hu Jianye was very excited, "Let it have a taste of our martial soul fusion skills!"

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Zhang Yaoyao clearly felt the strain: "I may not be able to hold on for long, the fog here is too thick, and my supernatural power is being consumed at a rapid rate."

"How long can you hold on?" Liu Jianan asked.

"No more than five minutes."

Five minutes, it is indeed difficult to find the location of the sky-covering tree in such a short time.

"Old Hu, make some noise."

"Okay."

As he spoke, Hu Jianye condensed a ball of unstable light and threw it away following the small ball of light at Liu Jianan's fingertips.

"Boom!"

The ball of light exploded, and strands of light passed through the heavy fog.

Liu Jianan waited with bated breath, but half a minute passed and he didn't see even a leaf.

It was like a blind man lighting a lamp, a waste of wax!

And just above them, vines were hiding in the thick mist, twisting and crawling, ready to strike.

The next second, they seemed to have received some kind of instruction and whipped at them!
