Chapter 15: Nowhere to Hide Let me see what's in your head...
As night fell, Shen Jiang returned to Mingxin Hall again.
This time, the hospital not only left her phone number, but also her cousin's phone number, in case of an emergency and they couldn't find her.
Shen Jiang was not sure whether the door would appear tonight. To be on the safe side, she left a scheduled text message for her cousin, set for tomorrow night.
If she can't come back, my uncle and aunt should take good care of grandma.
In addition, Shen Jiang also specially went to purchase some supplies.
With only her two hands, not only could she not pick many herbs, she even had no place to put them. The herbs she brought back this time totaled less than five kilograms, and after processing them, there would probably only be one kilogram left.
Gloves, hoes, sickles, herb baskets and other tools are essential. Shen Jiang even bought a few thickened large woven bags.
Since she is buying for free, the more she brings back, the more money she makes. Shen Jiang doesn't expect this kind of high-risk, high-reward thing to happen every day. She just hopes that she can return with a full load every time without any regrets.
Shen Jiang thought about it and put a few more packets of sausages, compressed biscuits and chocolates in the backpack. After all, this was purely physical work for her. If she over-exerted herself and became exhausted, no one would take care of her in the wilderness.
As for the dragon, it is better to rely on yourself than to expect him to be kind.
It's worth mentioning that during this shopping trip, Shen Jiang realized that many things needed to be put into his small backpack, such as a flashlight, lighter, dagger, and compass. These are essential products for survival in the wild. Moreover, these things are small and don't take up much space. Shen Jiang didn't hesitate and bought them all and put them in the backpack.
In the end, she spent all the few hundred dollars she had.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the door to open.
Shen Jiang took a deep breath in the silent, dark Mingxin Hall. To say she wasn't nervous would be a lie. She checked the time on her phone. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the gate hadn't appeared yet.
Taking advantage of the mental preparation he had just made, Shen Jiang took one breath, closed his eyes, and pressed the light switch like last time.
With a click.
Shen Jiang opened his eyes, but the expected scene did not appear. The lights came on, and Mingxin Hall under the incandescent light was as ordinary as usual, with no trace of the golden gate.
Shen Jiang was stunned.
After repeating this several times, the mysterious golden door showed no sign of appearing.
Shen Jiang's original ambition to take risks suddenly dissipated.
The fear of the unknown in the strange wild environment, the awareness of the absolute power of the dragon, and the uncertainty of whether he could return safely, all kinds of negative and fearful emotions finally emerged and grew, and refused to subside.
Shen Jiang was somewhat discouraged to find that perhaps she was not as brave as she thought.
But no matter how she thought or tried, the golden gate showed no sign of appearing. Shen Jiang simply gave up this hopeless wait, went back to her room, took out her treasured medical book and began to read.
Even without those medicinal herbs, she could make Mingxintang revive with her own hands.

As night fell, the young doctor was sleeping soundly at his desk, holding a medical book.
Shen Jiang has always been a light sleeper. When he was half asleep, he suddenly felt that something was wrong around him. He squinted his eyes and opened them a crack. He saw the mysterious dark patterns on the golden door surging with circles of breathtaking light. It appeared in front of him again without anyone noticing.
The faint light of flowing water had begun to spread and rise from her feet, and was about to wrap around her body again.
Shen Jiang's sleepiness suddenly subsided.
Raid! This is definitely a raid!
Shen Jiang groped around the table. When she returned to her room yesterday, she brought the backpack with her, just in case of such an emergency.
She grabbed the backpack prepared on the ground in a panic. Before she could put on her coat, the light from the golden gate wrapped around Shen Jiang's body, and then a huge suction force sucked her in.
The moment Shen Jiang landed, he took out his cell phone from his pocket.
3:00 AM on May 17, 2135.
Signal zero.
Shen Jiang swallowed, looked up at the bright sun hanging above her head, and accepted the fact with difficulty: this place and the China where she lived were not only a world apart, but also a huge distance away. The time difference alone was more than ten hours.
But there was good news. Shen Jiang soon discovered that the golden gate had spit her back to the place where she left last time.
In fact, it doesn't matter where it is. In the end, the golden gate will take her away. The most important thing now is to race against time and find the herbs from last time.
Shen Jiang cheered up and quickly picked up her backpack and climbed up the mountain along the route she remembered.
The last time she left, she had no choice but to take only a few medicinal herbs with her.
This time, she will take her backpack and hoe to take back everything that belongs to her.
Godwin Caesar was resting in the dragon's acupoint. After sensing a sudden aura, his golden dragon pupils suddenly widened.
Didn’t that guy leave? Why is he back?
A trace of speechlessness flashed across Godwin Caesar's dragon eyes. The last time he left, that human was pulling weeds busily. Unexpectedly, when he came back, there was no trace of that human on the entire mountain.
The Black Dragon immediately checked everything in the dragon's chamber. The magic barrier he had set up when he left had not been triggered at all, and his treasures were lying in their original places without any error.
I have to say that there is something missing on this mountain.
Maybe there are just a few weeds outside your door.
Although there were many dead weeds on the ground, Godwin could distinguish subtle differences in appearance between the weeds. There was an area that was obviously empty, but there was no trace of those "little tower"-like weeds on the ground.
The only explanation is that the human believer disappeared along with some of the weeds on the ground.
Godwin was speechless for a while at this discovery.
It would be fine if this strange human came and went as she pleased, but she actually turned a blind eye to the treasures in his dragon's vagina and only took away a few weeds...
He is completely unable to understand the human brain circuit.
"You still remember to come back?"
Shen Jiang had just climbed a few steps and had not yet seen the dragon when the dragon's voice, as loud as thunder, resounded through the sky.
She paused, feeling inexplicably guilty.
What's going on? She seemed to hear some resentment in the deafening dragon language.
"Lord Godwin, in order to better complete the task you assigned me, I went down the mountain to find some tools."
The black dragon spread its black wings, slid down from the top of the mountain along with the wind, and landed majestically in front of humans.
Shen Jiang had almost heard the dragon's voice when she saw the dragon's huge body that covered the sky and the sun appear above her head. The hurricane it created lifted up the dust on the ground and blinded her eyes.
Shen Jiang, feeling frustrated, dared not say anything but lowered his head respectfully to greet the giant dragon flying in front of him.
"That pile of junk you are carrying, is that the tool you mentioned?" The dragon asked his followers casually and arrogantly.
"Yes, with them, I can clear the weeds on this mountain faster." Shen Jiang replied respectfully with his eyes narrowed.
Godwin didn't know whether to call this human believer stupid or persistent. He actually took the matter of clearing the weeds to heart.
"Do you really want to become my believer?" The dragon looked at the human with his head bowed with complicated eyes.
Shen Jiangwei raised his head and looked at the dragon with a determined look.
Although there is a giant dragon in front of us, behind the dragon lies a mountain full of precious herbs.
Shen Jiang spoke his heart out without hesitation: "Yes! I will regard becoming your disciple as my lifelong goal. For this, I am willing to dedicate everything I have, including spending my entire life clearing the weeds on this mountain."
"very good."
Such fanatical and devout human beings are indeed qualified to be their own believers.
Godwin Caesar decided to give the human in front of him a chance.
The black dragon chanted a fantastical magic spell softly, and then a mysterious light lingered around him. As the spell ended, a blue flower floated gently in the air.
By the time Shen Jiang reacted, the light blue flower she had never seen before had slowly floated in front of her.
Shen Jiang widened her eyes slightly, and her reaction was particularly adorable. She didn't expect that Heilong would suddenly give her a flower.
Was it because she offered to help him clear the weeds on the mountain? To be honest, Shen Jiang's favor for this giant black dragon increased a little bit.
The light blue petals were as ethereal as the wind and as soft as water. Shen Jiang had never seen such flowers before and couldn't help but move closer to see them more clearly.
As she got closer, the scent emitted by the blue flowers made Shen Jiang feel a little uncomfortable. She was familiar with the medicinal properties of various herbs. Although she did not recognize the blue flowers in front of her, a special fragrance triggered some of her not-so-good memories.
Before Shen Jiang could react, the flower seemed to have a spirit and stuck to her cheek, then it dissipated into tiny specks of blue light and entered her body.
With a "buzz", all the sounds around disappeared.
Damn black dragon, what kind of magical flower did he send!
Shen Jiang felt as if his entire brain was empty in an instant, his thoughts stagnated at that moment, and all his senses receded rapidly like the tide, as if frozen by a huge block of ice. The scene in front of him was left with only a vague outline.
Godwin's slightly arrogant voice entered her mind, not quite real: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
It seemed as if his voice was the only voice left in the world, echoing in Shen Jiang's mind.
eager……
Longing to get something from the dragon...
What is the most secret and unspeakable desire in her heart...
