"What?"
Wu Feng looked around carefully and found that Zhang Li and Deng Mengdan were indeed missing, which made him feel a pang of anxiety.
"Quick, let's go back and look for it!"
He then looked at Fang Yuan: "Master Fang, could you...?"
Fu Zhuoyun wanted to refuse, but Fang Yuan nodded directly: "Of course, Professor Wu, please lead the way!"
She was also very curious about what was going on with that temple, and why the system couldn't scan it.
"Master, we haven't even started looking yet!" Fu Zhuoyun said anxiously.
Fang Yuan looked at him curiously: "Mr. Fu, haven't you noticed from what they said that the Stone Temple and yours are the same place?"
"What? Then let's hurry and catch up!"
Once he realized it was the same place, Fu Zhuoyun's tone changed instantly.
The group continued walking into the dense forest for about ten minutes.
The group then stopped.
"What are Zhang Li and Deng Mengdan doing?" Wu Feng looked at the two kneeling there with a panicked expression.
The two men knelt there like idiots, slowly and foolishly kowtowing to the stone statue until their foreheads were red.
"This is it, this is it, we've finally found it!" Fu Zhuoyun said excitedly.
He remembered that he had to kowtow many times to get that gold.
"No, we can't let them keep banging. If they keep going, they'll end up like me. Go and help them up."
Fu Zhuoyun looked at the two girls kneeling there kowtowing and said nervously.
He was misled and kowtowed many times before signing a contract with that guy.
If these two continue to fight, they might end up like me.
Fang Yuan also saw the black mist surrounding the two girls and reached out to stop those who wanted to step forward:
"Don't move, let me do it!"
The surrounding area is filled with this black aura. If these people go there, they might end up kneeling themselves too. It's better for her to go.
She held a peach wood sword in one hand and released purifying power with the other.
As the purifying power spread, the surrounding black energy also quickly dissipated.
Fang Yuan's divine sense detected a black figure flashing past through the large hole behind the stone figure.
It was a giant black python.
This thing is quite large, comparable to Bai Suzhen (the White Snake).
"snort!"
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the thing swim deeper into the cave.
She turned her head and drew a circle around the two of them, then scolded, "Wake up now!"
Ah~
The thinner girl regained consciousness first and was startled when she saw the stone statue in front of her.
Then she turned around and looked around, exclaiming, "Ah~ how did I get back again?"
She remembered that she had clearly followed the group before, so how did she end up back here, kneeling here?
"You were probably bewitched by that guy and brought back here; he chose you," Fang Yuan replied calmly.
"Huh! Wasn't I receiving an award? What am I still here?"
At this moment, another slightly chubby girl also stared blankly at the stone statue in front of her.
Wasn't she standing at an international awards ceremony receiving an award?
She only realized she was filming in the mountains when she saw Zhang Li beside her!
She just had a very realistic dream?
"What award? What kind of daydream are you having?" Zhang Li looked at Deng Mengdan in surprise.
The main reason is that she had a dream before, but instead of receiving an award, she dreamed of making a lot of money.
"You have been deceived by the spirits of the mountains!"
Fang Yuan replied casually while keeping an eye on the cave behind the stone statue.
"A spirit? I don't feel anything is wrong?" Zhang Li looked around nervously, then hugged her arms tightly.
Why are there still spirits here? Is this some kind of dream that hasn't ended?
As she thought about it, she raised her hand and pinched her thigh!
"Ouch~ That hurts!"
"Stop pinching! This world isn't as simple as you think. It's not surprising that there are spirits and monsters!" Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
"How could this be? Was I really dreaming? But why did it feel so real?" Deng Mengdan asked, her face filled with fear.
The feeling she had in her dream just now didn't seem fake at all; it was so terrifying and so real that it frightened her.
"Yeah, I just dreamt that I suddenly became rich too," Zhang Li said, still feeling a bit shaken.
Are they going to weave her a dream in this desolate wilderness, only to eat her when she wakes up? That's terrifying.
"Alright, that thing won't come out for now, and this isn't some kind of stone temple," Fang Yuan said after looking around.
This is not a stone temple at all, but just a cliff on a hillside, with a stone wall below it, where many strange stones stand.
There is a rock that looks like a human figure, which makes people mistake it for a stone temple.
She discovered that Fu Zhuoyun's black line was connected to the inside of the cave, indicating that the giant python she had seen earlier was Fu Zhuoyun's 'creditor'.
"Master, you found that thing?" Fu Zhuoyun asked nervously.
"Hmm!" Fang Yuan said, looking at the stone statue in front of him.
Pointing behind the statue: "That thing is behind this statue!"
"ah!"
As soon as Fang Yuan spoke, Zhang Li and Deng Mengdan quickly walked towards Wu Feng and the others at the back.
The two of them were so close to this thing just now, this is terrifying.
Fang Yuan then pointed to a small, inconspicuous patch of grass nearby:
"This herb can make people fall asleep quickly, and with the bewitching magic of spirits, it's normal for them to be drawn into dreams and sign a contract with that thing."
"Did they sign it? Will they be okay?" Wu Feng asked, slightly agitated.
Fang Yuan shook his head: "I just went up and interrupted the contract formation. They're fine. They just need to get more sun recently."
She was fortunate that the spiritual energy in this world was insufficient, so ordinary spirits could not be forcibly bound to it.
It requires luring them into making willing promises to form a bond.
"That's good. Luckily, we got back in time." Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhang Li and Deng Mengdan also thanked Fang Yuan.
Zhang Li then asked, "Master, what would happen if we formed a pact?"
She was genuinely curious about what would happen if she formed a pact with someone. Would she die?
"That depends on what you're asking for. This kind of contract is an exchange of your life. Once your wish is fulfilled, it can then take away the rest of your life without any problem."
As Fang Yuan spoke, he glanced at Fu Zhuoyun, who looked melancholy beside him.
"Is that so? Well, thank goodness it didn't work out!" Zhang Li was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Were their previous dreams their only wishes?
If a contract is actually signed, does the scenario in their dreams mark their death?
If that's really the case, then forget it. She doesn't want to die like that!
