Of the 30 ghost story masters who entered the world this time, Arceus is the most threatening to the Dragon Kingdom. Since he became a ghost story master, a total of 23 ghost story masters from the Dragon Kingdom have died directly or indirectly at his hands.
Although entering the world of ghost stories means fair competition and no one can blame anyone else, Qi Long cannot turn a blind eye to this. As a ghost story master from the Dragon Kingdom, he has an obligation to end Arceus's life here!
With the Wolf God in his form, many strange creatures he encountered avoided him. Qi Long didn't know where Arceus was, so he could only rely on luck.
It's alright, three hours is enough time for him to search.
"Uncle Long? What a coincidence!"
Jiang Yaoyao walked over from the side of the forest with a smile on her face. Qi Long nodded in acknowledgment but did not reply.
"Don't be so cold, Uncle Long!" Jiang Yaoyao walked over and patted Qi Long on the shoulder. "What are you planning to do next? How about we do it together?"
“I told you my purpose from the beginning: I’m going to hunt down ghost storytellers from other countries.” Qi Long pushed Jiang Yaoyao’s hand away. “I have no reason to lie to you, and you’d better not follow me.”
“Uncle Long…” Jiang Yaoyao’s eyes darkened slightly, “If you had to choose between you and Jiang Ran, who would you choose to send out?”
Qi Long stopped in his tracks.
"This is a meaningless question, because such a choice will not occur, and whether I will survive to the end is still unknown."
"You know, young girls are all quite curious."
Qi Long frowned, staring into Jiang Yaoyao's eyes, trying to discern something else within them.
He didn't speak, but Jiang Yaoyao smiled, already guessing Qi Long's thoughts.
"So you're planning to pave the way for Jiang Ran, eliminate everyone who threatens him, and then sacrifice your own life?" Jiang Yaoyao's smile vanished. "Just how much do you want to be a 'hero'?"
“This isn’t about being a ‘hero,’ it’s just the wisest choice.” Qi Long shook his head. “I didn’t mean to sacrifice myself; I was just doing my best to defeat the enemy.”
"Stubborn!"
"You know, if sacrificing just one S-rank can ensure the safe return of an SSS-rank, plus the reward of an SS-rank ghost story world, it's an extremely worthwhile deal for the country."
"And what about for yourself?"
"I don't want to think about these things, at least not now."
"If I'm not mistaken, the live streams outside should have been blocked long ago, so no one will know what you've done, including Jiang Ran."
“Uncle Long, I know you have no family and no attachments.” Jiang Yaoyao stepped forward. “Your thinking is too extreme. You want to die as a ‘pavement for Jiang Ran’ rather than as a ‘loser who fights his own people to the death,’ right?”
"You subconsciously believe that you have no chance of defeating Jiang Ran, so rather than die at his hands, you'd rather sacrifice yourself at the hands of the enemy and become a perfect hero!"
Qi Long remained expressionless and offered no rebuttal.
"Think what you want, I have to go do my thing, goodbye."
"Okay, Uncle Long, I'll ask you one last question."
I may not be able to answer you.
"Will you kill me in the end?" Jiang Yaoyao pinched her hair. "You're going to clear all obstacles for Jiang Ran, and I'm one of them, aren't I?"
For a wolf to win, it must kill everyone except itself. Therefore, after all other enemies are dead, Jiang Yaoyao and Jiang Ran will inevitably become adversaries!
This is a fact they are unwilling to admit but cannot avoid!
"Yaoyao, you didn't need to say these things to me." Qi Long turned around, his eyes already flashing with murderous intent. "Isn't it better for us to part ways here?"
"It's alright, Uncle Long." Jiang Yaoyao closed her eyes and revealed a sweet smile. "You can't kill me, there's no way you can."
Qi Long was still wondering a second ago, but the next second he suddenly clutched his stomach. He felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground, unable to control his limbs!
"you......"
"I'm sorry, Uncle Long, this is my divine duty, the Wolf Wizard. I can curse anyone who has physical contact with me, and they will lose their ability to move in as little as one minute."
"Is that so? From the moment we met, you were already planning to attack me?"
"Don't you understand, Uncle Long? We're wolves! From the moment we acquired this identity, we were destined to be enemies!"
Jiang Yaoyao approached step by step, "In your eyes, no one is as valuable as Jiang Ran. I don't believe you. I will not easily give up my life to pave the way for someone I've only met a few times!"
"If you want to be Jiang Ran's right-hand man, I'll cut off his arm right here! I'll kill everyone else, including Jiang Ran, to prove my worth!"
Qi Long is in a terrible state. The Blood Wolf Warrior only gave him powerful attack power, but not matching defense. During the time he is unable to move, Jiang Yaoyao has at least a dozen ways to kill him!
"Go ahead and do it. I have nothing more to say."
Qi Long quickly calmed down. Even if he died here now, there would still be three red flowers left, and his [Wolf God] state would not disappear. In other words, after returning to the starting point, he could still continue to hunt Arceus.
This had no impact on his plans.
"Uncle Long, let's make a bet."
What do you want to bet?
Jiang Yaoyao looked up at the falling leaves: "How about we bet that this leaf will land in my hand? If I bet wrong, I won't kill you, okay?"
Qi Long watched the leaves fluttering erratically in the air when a gentle breeze suddenly blew, causing them to deviate from their original direction.
But Jiang Yaoyao reached out and grabbed the leaf, then spread it out in front of Qi Long.
Qi Long closed his eyes: "What a meaningless gamble."
"I just wanted to tell you that the opportunity is always there, and I will actively seek it out." Jiang Yaoyao threw away the leaf. Instead of attacking Qi Long, she left directly. "Finally, farewell, Uncle Long."
Qi Long felt a tightness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of black blood. He could feel his life force rapidly draining away, but there was nothing he could do now.
"Jiang Yaoyao... I really shouldn't have underestimated anyone..."
Jiang Yaoyao glanced back at Qi Long's corpse one last time before disappearing into the forest.
"I will be the ultimate winner."
