While Paige and George were asleep, Jiang Yuan was on the verge of a breakdown, not for any other reason than the Holy Spirit Stones that had been eaten. However, the rewards for accumulating a large number of Holy Spirit Stones were also considerable.
"Holy Spirit Beast (Pseudo), Second-Tier Lord Level, Strength: 7.9".
“Holy Spirit Beast (Pseudo), Second-Tier Lord Level, Psychic Energy: 7.9”
Paige and George have both reached the second-order limit. At this moment, the two of them are lying on the bed and fast asleep, which they call: evolution.
But in Jiang Yuan's eyes, it was all about eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating.
"Thank goodness these two don't snore, otherwise I would have thrown them out!"
Looking at the two white, fleshy little balls lying on either side of the bed, Jiang Yuan let out a helpless sigh.
"I'm exhausted! I never imagined taking care of a child would be so difficult!" Ning Yanlan stretched and climbed into bed.
"I told you, it's better to eat it. Out of sight, out of mind, and it'll still taste good." Jiang Yuan took off his coat and lay down, his head resting on George's body.
"Hmph!" George only made a soft humming sound, but immediately fell into a deep sleep.
"Don't crush George!" Ning Yanlan exclaimed anxiously, immediately trying to pull Jiang Yuan up.
"Don't rush!" Jiang Yuan said unhurriedly, "These two are about to reach the third level. Even if you hit them with a boulder weighing over a hundred pounds, you might not be able to kill them, let alone crush them!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan deliberately found a comfortable position to rest his head on, thinking to himself, "This is probably the most expensive pillow. The investment on the first night alone exceeded ten Tier 3 Holy Spirit Stones. If this continues, the investment will probably double."
"Are you really alright?" Ning Yanlan poked Peppa Pig. "It's actually quite plump!"
Jiang Yuan took out the Holy Spirit Source. Although his spiritual awakening progress had reached a bottleneck and he could no longer advance through cultivation alone, his use of it did not mean that Ning Yanlan and Paige George would not use it. "Get a good night's sleep. We still have to travel tomorrow morning!"
In such a godforsaken place, the two of them had no interest in flirting, and besides, there were two pigs around, which would be a bad influence on the children.
Ning Yanlan, looking shy, used Peppa Pig as a pillow. After making sure the two little ones weren't unhappy or uncomfortable, Ning Yanlan also drifted off to sleep.
...
"Jiang Yuan!"
"Jiang Yuan!"
Jiang Yuan, who was in his sleep, sat up with a start. "Yan Lan? Is that you?"
As he called out, he reached out to his side, but Ning Yanlan, who had been sleeping next to him, was nowhere to be seen; only Peiqi was sleeping quietly there.
"The bed is still warm, they haven't been gone long?" Jiang Yuan glanced around the room, the faint call in his ear making him uneasy.
"Something's happened to Yanlan!"
He jumped out of bed with a start and searched the entire room in no time, but still couldn't find any trace of Ning Yanlan.
In a fleeting glimpse, Jiang Yuan's pupils dilated, for through the window he witnessed a scene that sent chills down his spine.
Villagers, resembling zombies, wandered through the night. Just as Jiang Yuan looked out, a very familiar figure turned around.
"Yanlan?"
All fear vanished instantly, because Ning Yanlan had somehow blended into the villagers.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yuan shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
The figure had already turned its head back and continued walking forward numbly.
Jiang Yuan was startled, but because of the distance and his extreme shock, he could no longer be sure if the person was Ning Yanlan when she turned around.
Looking back at the empty bed, Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, picked up the knife and gun on the ground, opened the door, and chased after the figure.
Little did he know that Jiang Yuan's departure from the room caused a disturbance, and Ning Yanlan was peacefully sleeping in bed, softly murmuring in her sleep.
"Smoke and Mist!"
Jiang Yuan opened the door and chased after him, but as soon as he opened the door, a chill rushed from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, making him feel completely cold. When he turned around, the mud-brick house he had just moved into had completely disappeared.
"Heavenly Eye!"
Jiang Yuan tried to see through the strange environment, but a strange force blocked his view.
"Never mind that, let's find Ning Yanlan first!"
Seeing this, he had no choice but to abandon the idea of retreating; the most important thing right now was to find Ning Yanlan.
Although Jiang Yuan didn't know what time it was, the quiet darkness was definitely past midnight, and only at this time could there be such a strong chill that it made him feel cold from head to toe.
As Jiang Yuan continued walking along the dark path, he felt increasingly uneasy. The figure that had previously resembled Ning Yanlan had disappeared, but more strange figures appeared on the path, all seemingly heading in the same direction.
Snap
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder, and he immediately swung his knife to slash at it.
"young people!"
The hoarse, almost inaudible voice made Jiang Yuan stop wielding his knife. He looked closely and saw that the person patting his shoulder was none other than the old woman who had brought them to the village that evening.
"Didn't I warn you not to come out at night?" The old woman's voice was strange, but when Jiang Yuan looked up, he could see her deep, dark eyes, as if death was patrolling at night.
"My friend is lost, so I came..." Jiang Yuan was about to explain.
"No!" the old woman interrupted him, sighing, "You're the one who got lost!"
Jiang Yuan wanted to ask what had happened, but at that moment, the figures started running wildly, and they were also making shrill cries as they ran, instantly filling the quiet night with cries.
"The ceremony has begun, come with me!" The old woman walked briskly, showing no signs of her previous frail appearance, leaning on a cane.
