Chapter 28
In an instant, a thick, dark blood color poured out and enveloped the entire space, and then quickly faded, revealing the emptiness and desolation beneath the thick blood color.
The air was gray and turbid in an instant.
The charred soil was full of potholes and bumps, and on top was sparse, dry grass about half a person's height, with many faded, dried-up strips of cloth hanging on it. Swaying in the wind, the milky white roots hidden underneath were exposed. Red blood lines swirled around, rising and falling as if breathing, extending all the way to the rusty-red stamens at the top.
On the wasteland, the stamens slowly turned, like countless tiny scarlet pupils wriggling, making people feel uneasy.
There was a faint rustling sound in the fog, as if something was lurking and crawling inside.
Jiang Wan was no longer in the original cabin. She tried to find the source of the sound, but her vision was obscured by the white fog that filled the surroundings, and she could only see within five meters around her.
Jiang Wan moved her feet and found that the ground was sometimes soft and sometimes hard, as if she was stepping on something alive. She randomly chose a direction and walked straight ahead, but found that no matter which direction she walked, the scene around her remained unchanged.
Sure enough, she was trapped here.
If it were an ordinary person, they would now be alert to observe the environment and carefully test to confirm the degree of danger.
But Jiang Wan was different. After she was sure that she couldn't get out, she directly took out the Qingzhou Sword.
"Bang——"
With a swing of the sword, Jiang Wan chose to demolish it violently.
The sword light, accompanied by a sharp cold wind, directly cut down a large area of weeds horizontally. In an instant, as if something was disturbed, a sharp and chaotic sound spread from the ground.
Jiang Wan seemed to be oblivious to the sound and kept swinging the sword in his hand. He easily made a few sword flowers and swung them everywhere without even looking. His feet also did not stop. He lifted up the shroud that looked like a human figure, deliberately increased the weight of his steps, and crushed the raised wet soil fiercely.
The damp soil suddenly became sticky, and a rotten, fishy smell spread in the air.
The stamens of the cut dead grass seemed to come alive and grew again. Blood beads seeped out of the milky white roots. Soon, countless scarlet filaments condensed and squirmed and shuttled on the ground. The ends of the silk threads were as white as shriveled fingers, and they attacked Jiang Wan strangely and quickly.
Jiang Wanshou raised his sword and it flashed.
"Playing tricks, tsk——"
After all these operations, Jiang Wan made the already desolate land even more messy, as if it had been swept by a typhoon.
It's a complete mess.
"Is this all you can do to trap me?"
Jiang Wan took out a fire talisman with disdain and threw it to the ground. With a "hiss", the flame jumped up and instantly tore a scorched road. The sound of broken bones exploding came from the fireworks.
"No way, no way, this isn't the way you deal with 'foreign cultivators' like me, is it? It takes you so long to deal with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like me. Oh, you haven't taken me down in such a long time." Jiang Wan rolled his eyes and said sarcastically.
"That's right. Otherwise, why would he be so boring and hide behind people to fool people into acting out some love story? He must be not very good-looking. How do you describe him?" Jiang Wan pretended to think for a moment, "He'd die in the light. Yes! He'd die in the light!"
"No wonder they're hiding it. What a loser! No one loves them, so they use this method to beg for love. But the people who act out it don't want true love. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Jiang Wan's tone was as bad as it could be.
As expected, the dry grass and hand bones that attacked her became even more brutal, and each of them wanted to stab her to death.
Jiang Wan taunted as she bent backward, easily dodging the attacking vine claws. She then fiercely crushed the small gadget in the dirt that was about to attack her. "That's it? You can't even handle someone like me who's at the foundation building stage. No wonder you're hiding so furtively, not even daring to show your face. You're such a jerk!"
"No way, no way, there's no way someone would be rejected the moment they showed up, then go to such lengths to conspire with others to fall in love, only to be rejected just the same!"
"Indeed, no normal person would think of playing a love triangle with someone. I don't know how many times it's happened. Those monks who got deceived are so miserable. They were unlucky enough to be trapped in the first place, and they finally had the smartness to see through the trick. Who would have thought that they would be targeted because of their cleverness! The most unfortunate thing is to encounter a psychopath who is both incompetent and playful. Tsk! Poor~"
The air suddenly twisted, and a cold aura suddenly surged.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”
The unpleasant sound of nails scratching a blackboard came from all directions.
Then, a black figure with an unclear face appeared.
Jiang Wan couldn't bear it any longer and covered her ears with her hands.
Even though it was very uncomfortable, Jiang Wan still raised her chin provocatively and said in an exaggerated tone, "Finally you're willing to come out? I thought you were so defensive because of what I said that you didn't dare to come out!"
Jiang Wan couldn't understand the complicated rules, what was sincerity and falsehood, what were the loose rules, she couldn't really figure out the connection here, but Jiang Wan relied on her keen intuition to capture the contradictions. He could obviously attack her directly, so why did he have to be so secretive.
It's like we can't defeat it head-on.
Isn't she in the Foundation Establishment Stage on the surface?
The figure laughed harshly, "Ridiculous... Ridiculous and arrogant..."
Although the voice was blurry, it was recognizably female.
She twisted her body forward, and the ground began to ooze black liquid wherever she passed. "Shut up! I want you to... experience... the feelings of those people you mentioned. What is despair..."
"Desperate?" Jiang Wan sneered disdainfully, "Just because you dare not even reveal your true face?"
Jiang Wan raised his hand, and the Light Boat Sword flashed with blue light, hovering before him. Behind him, dozens of sword lights shone brightly, revealing dozens of different spiritual swords ready to be unleashed.
"I say, let me see how you can make me desperate!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wan made a sword gesture and fired several swords at once. The sword wind was as cold as the Milky Way pouring out, trembling and clanging. With the burst of sharp sword energy, Jiang Wan suddenly understood the sword-controlling technique without any instruction. He jumped up with a light tap of his toes, and with the help of the sword under his feet, he rushed towards the figure like a cannonball.
But just when they were about to touch, something unexpected happened -
The world was spinning.
The entire space was completely turned upside down.
Caught off guard.
Jiang Wan "fell" heavily on the gray "sky". Fortunately, she didn't have much but many swords. At this moment, several swords quickly caught her, and Jiang Wan was able to avoid falling and stabilize her body.
"Luckily, I reacted quickly enough." Jiang Wan saw the other party's surprised expression and felt a little proud. "You didn't expect that I would go out with more than one Qingzhou sword! Let me tell you, sword cultivators don't need many other things, but they have plenty of swords!"
Apart from the gifts from her senior sisters in Guiyuan Sect, most of the money she had was earned from her side job.
Well, I don’t earn much spirit stones from my side job, but I can earn a lot of spirit weapons and swords.
She is indeed a genius in swordsmanship. Fortunately, she comprehended the sword-controlling technique at the critical moment, otherwise she would have been embarrassed just now.
In just a moment, Jiang Wan had already figured out how to show off in front of Lin Xubai.
Ah...you're thinking too far ahead. The important thing is to focus on the present matter.
Jiang Wan glanced down with a barely perceptible look of disgust. It was so dirty. She couldn't stand this kind of environment where there might be bugs.
Being embarrassed is not scary, having disgusting little bugs crawling on your body is scary!!!
"Really?" The black shadow sneered.
"Oh! The light boat—"
Jiang Wan summoned the Light Boat Sword again to attack the opponent, and several swords flew out with the wind.
Just when he blocked the Qingzhou sword with one move, Jiang Wan suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my neck and Jiang Wan's voice appeared in my ears.
"I caught you!" Jiang Wan said excitedly.
At some point, she teleported behind the shadow and placed a sword across her neck.
Black Shadow:!!!
when? ! !
Of course Jiang Wan would not tell her that she used the Qingzhou Sword as a false cover to attract the other party's attention. In fact, she quietly released several sword shadows to disrupt the other party's sight and waited for an opportunity to approach the other party.
Then, while the opponent's attention was on the Qingzhou Sword, he used the teleportation talisman to teleport to the sword body of the flying sword, tricking Bo into flashing and giving the opponent a fatal blow.
"Hide and seek is over, now..." Jiang Wan excitedly prepared to announce the end of the game, but before he could finish his words, he froze.
Jiang Wan:?
"What's going on?!!"
Jiang Wan was surprised.
Just when she was about to strike the opponent in the throat with a sword, she found that her body could not move for some reason - countless gray and white silk threads had entangled her limbs.
At some point, the gray air was filled with white silk, as if it had turned into the Spider Cave in an instant.
Jiang Wan could even see the tiny hairs on the silk threads that bound her.
“Tick-tock—”
Something moved along the silk thread, making a hissing sound.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, and with a thought, a circle of talismans appeared around her.
"Bang——"
The strong explosion airflow with flames instantly broke Jiang Wan out of her restrained state.
Jiang Wan took the opportunity to break free from the restraints, staggered onto the floating boat, and covered her pierced right arm with one hand. Blood seeped down her elbow through her fingers, and she gasped heavily.
She hurt the enemy a thousand times but also hurt herself eight hundred times. Although she escaped successfully, the talisman was too close to her and she was inevitably injured.
Suddenly, Jiang Wan seemed to sense something and leaned to the left, but it was too late.
A thick red root pierced through Jiang Wan's waist from behind, carrying Jiang Wan into the air in an instant, and fixed it on a pillar that could not be touched or seen, hanging in the air.
The rhizome tentacles that passed through the waist seemed to have taken root and found warm soil. In a moment, they split into dozens of tiny rhizomes and took root along the skin, flesh and blood vessels.
A familiar rustling sound came from the "sky", like countless insects crawling.
Now, she looked more like prey caught in the center of a giant spider's web.
Suddenly, a pale face drooped down from above, almost touching the tip of Jiang Wan's nose, "I got you."
His gaze moved to Jiang Wan's equally pale face before moving away.
The true identity of the black shadow was finally revealed at this time. As expected, it was the woman who seduced Xiao Jingyuan last night.
The woman poked Jiang Wan's throat with her shriveled knuckles. The sharp, gray nails only needed a little force to pierce the white neck. Bright red blood flowed out and was eaten up by the living creatures below the moment it fell.
"Go on, you were so arrogant just now, why don't you continue? Keep talking!!!"
"Tsk... Let me go if you have the guts."
"Let go? You were so arrogant just now, I thought you were so powerful. Let go?" The woman laughed ferociously with her head raised 120 degrees, then turned her head at a right angle in an instant, and fixed Jiang Wan with a sinister gaze, "Why, you're not bringing your lover today?"
"Don't worry, it's you now. Soon, I will bring him to accompany you. I guarantee that you will still have endless things to talk about like before."
"Damn it! Are you still human?" Jiang Wan cursed with gritted teeth, his voice carrying just the right amount of weakness. "Don't touch him! Aren't you coming for me? No, you can't touch him. He's not within the 'rules'. You can't touch him..."
Jiang Wan was tied up in the air, and as her limbs were entangled, vines dug into the pulses of her hands and feet.
She could clearly feel the blood in her body being sucked away bit by bit, and her body was gradually becoming weaker.
If you change it to the game panel, the health bar will continue to drop.
"Don't even think about escaping. They will continuously absorb your blood as nutrients and suck your spiritual roots and essence as a breeding ground.
In the end, you will become a hollow shell among those dry bones, your flesh and blood dried up, your soul extinguished, and if you are lucky, you may only have a shell left~"
After hearing this, Jiang Wan's expression was calm, and he did not show the emotion that the woman had expected.
No resentment and no hatred.
This made the woman doubt for a moment, but soon she thought about the deal she had with that person and the particularity of this world.
She just felt that Jiang Wan had not given up hope of living at this moment, and she still felt that she could escape.
Just like at the beginning, I was lucky enough to be outside the rules and not be noticed by her.
"You're quite clever. You didn't actually do anything last night." The woman praised him sarcastically. If he hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have known that she had made such a big mistake in her territory. "Unfortunately, your luck has run out."
"Do you really think I'll give you the chance to use the mustard seed space or contact the outside world? Whatever you and your lover discussed before coming here, none of it works now." The woman sneered disdainfully. "Do you really think I only have those tricks I just used? I was just playing with you, testing your limits."
"You don't really think I don't know what you're planning, do you? Well, let me tell you, there are quite a few of them who have the same idea as you, but where they went now, I'm sure you saw it clearly last night."
Jiang Wan remained silent, and the expression on his pale face became increasingly solemn.
"You are truly trapped right now. I find your expression much more pleasing to the eye. You must be desperate!
Just like them, experience how death approaches you little by little!
Don't worry, you are not the first, nor the only one on this road."
