Why was there a forbidden area in Xuzhou? Dou Shiliu didn't know either, so he decided to go and take a look. He found the things the silver sword needed, and the place had explanations that it couldn't be simple.
I asked a local at random, and they seemed evasive and hesitant, making them hard to understand.
There's definitely something wrong with this forbidden area in Xuzhou. Dou Shiliu packed his things, slung his bag over his shoulder, picked up his sword, and headed towards the forbidden area.
We traversed the mountains and forests amidst the clouds and rain, occasionally hearing the cries of monkeys; deep within, the monkey cries seemed somewhat solemn.
Dou Shiliu moved nimbly and quickly climbed halfway up the mountain. Looking down, he saw the small town of Xuzhou below, which was very large and seemed to stretch endlessly as far as the eye could see.
Dou Shiliu turned around and bumped into the squirrel spirit. His eyes lit up as he watched him walk over: "What are you doing here? Weren't you going to Xuzhou to find your wife?"
"My wife is gone again, and I haven't been able to find her. She didn't leave me any message."
The squirrel spirit did not transform into human form; instead, it appeared as a little squirrel on a tall tree, watching Dou Shiliu sigh peacefully.
Dou Shiliu nodded: "I'm going to that forbidden area, do you want to come?"
The squirrel spirit shook its head, "I'm collecting chestnuts for my wife."
Dou Shiliu: "..." She looked strangely at the large chestnut in the squirrel spirit's hand, nodded, and then said, "Well then, goodbye."
The squirrel spirit nodded, then picked up the chestnut and left.
Dou Shiliu continued on her way, with birds and beasts flying past her. She really had the leisure to focus on restoring the silver sword, and instead of continuing her sweet talk with the cannon fodder, she came out to travel over mountains and rivers.
It was just an ordinary cave, but when Dou Shiliu stepped inside, he discovered a hidden world. The stone walls were damp, and a faint mist emanated from them, obscuring the view in front of him.
Is it poisonous?
System: "No"
Dou Shiliu looked around cautiously, his feet firmly planted on the ground. He scanned the surroundings, and Dou Shiliu roughly surveyed several areas.
As Dou Shiliu stepped into the dry grass, the unusually bright light made her close her eyes briefly.
"Host, be careful," Bai Tuan reminded Dou Shiliu in the space, as there was a river in front of her.
Dou Shiliu looked at the river in front of him with a strange expression. How could he not find it odd that there was a river inside the cave?
Dou Shiliu took a closer look and instantly felt a chill run down his spine. It was completely filled with bones—something he'd never seen before!
A river filled with bones—what kind of scene could possibly cause such things to cover the entire area?
Dou Shiliu didn't dare to think too deeply about it. Following Bai Tuan's advice, she took a different route. Although she wasn't afraid of death, she couldn't afford to take any risks.
This time there was no danger, which even surprised Dou Shiliu. She successfully obtained what the silver sword needed.
"System, how can this be so easy?" Dou Shiliu said with some unease, tossing the item in his hand to Bai Tuan and turning to leave.
Bai Tuan picked up the item and said, "Who cares if it's easy or not? As long as we got it, isn't that enough?"
Dou Shiliu nodded. "What you said makes a lot of sense, but why do I feel a chill down my spine?"
Bai Tuan had just placed the silver sword down when she turned to tell Dou Shiliu that everything was alright. But when she saw what was behind her, she was so frightened that her voice trembled.
"Host... host..."
As Dou Shiliu walked, she felt an increasing chill on her back. She asked in confusion, "...Hmm...?" Bai Tuan stammered and suddenly cried out, "Behind me! A two-headed snake!"
Dou Shiliu felt a chill run down his spine. What the hell?! Dou Shiliu suddenly turned around, and holy crap, a huge two-headed snake was charging towards him with a crazy Sudoku-like attack.
Dou Shiliu took off running immediately. It was a real headache. Her heart ached, her feet ached, and her whole body ached.
Dou Shiliu quickly turned and left, feeling utterly horrified. What kind of monster was this?!
The two-headed snake twisted its massive body and headed straight for Dou Shiliu, crushing the surrounding flowers and grass into dust, leaving them looking pitiful.
Dou Shiliu instantly ran out of the forbidden area, while the two-headed snake swiftly crashed into the cave exit. A faint seal appeared, trapping the two-headed snake inside.
"Awesome!"
Dou Shiliu burst out of her mouth. This big thing scared her to death! So she couldn't get out after all. Whew, it scared her to death.
The white ball: "...", trembling.
Dou Shiliu looked at the two-headed snake, a hint of eagerness in his eyes: "System, can I defeat it?"
Bai Tuan wiped away his cold sweat: "Yes, I can."
Dou Shiliu's eyes lit up, and she was about to take out her sword when Bai Tuan immediately spoke up again: "You can let it collect your corpse."
Dou Shiliu instantly turned cold, expressionless as he sheathed his sword, not even glancing at the two-headed snake, and turned to leave.
The descent was a bit faster than the ascent. Dou Shiliu walked for the afternoon, and when they were almost at Xuzhou, the squirrel spirit was hugging a woman and crying, looking very aggrieved.
Dou Shiliu picked at his ear, then stepped forward and immediately heard what the squirrel spirit said.
"Honey, can you please stop being angry?"
"Ha, let go of me now, I'm not good enough for you."
"Wife, I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that."
Let go!
"I won't let go, honey, please don't be angry."
"I'm not angry," the strange woman calmed herself, smiling faintly at the squirrel spirit. "So you can't, you can't let go of my clothes! They're about to be torn off."
The squirrel spirit then let go, and the woman casually pulled up her pants. The squirrel spirit then started hugging her again, looking rather shameless.
Dou Shiliu didn't disturb the young couple's quarrel. She turned around and quietly left, then returned to her hotel and packed her things.
"System, what else does Silver Sword need?"
System: "No more"
"How is she now?" Dou Shiliu asked Yin Jian.
Bai Tuan: "The recovery is exceptionally good."
Dou Shiliu nodded, tightened his bundle, picked it up, turned around, and left the inn.
You took my chicken?
A rough voice came from behind, a bit jarring and unpleasant to hear. Dou Shiliu raised his eyebrows and looked up.
A girl was knocked to the ground by her, and the pot-bellied man even seemed about to step forward and stomp on her.
The little creature on the ground was barely alive; if the man's foot had landed on it, it probably wouldn't have survived to see the sun tomorrow.
Dou Shiliu stepped forward and shoved the man. With a light push, the big man was sent flying several meters.
The crowd gasped in astonishment, and the man was secretly astonished. How could this woman possess such strength? She seemed unusually fierce.
