Why has the girl changed so much all of a sudden? She seems to have grown up a lot in an instant. The girl nodded seriously and responded to me slowly.
"Brother doesn't think my body was always like this, does he?"
The girl's words were like a sharp sword piercing straight into my heart. Yes, how could I not have thought of that?!
Perhaps the girl, like me before, was also under some kind of curse, which is why she turned out this way.
In reality, the girl was probably much more mature than imagined; otherwise, even if she had absorbed the energy from the bead, she wouldn't have become like this.
That gap is like heaven and earth, absolutely insurmountable.
"Come on, brother, take my hand, we need to see the offerings!"
The girl stretched out her slender hand, and I instinctively took it. I held the girl's hand with my right hand, while my left hand held the scepter and the Thunderstrike Sword, which obediently hovered behind me.
The girl glanced at the lightning sword, smiled, and said to me that the sword I was carrying was quite nice.
I could feel the lightning sword tremble, and then it landed directly on my back.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this guy, Lei Jijian, had been so arrogant around me for so long, but he had finally met his true nemesis.
In any case, Lei Jijian was as obedient as a grandson to this girl, showing absolutely no intention of resisting.
I mentally transmitted my thoughts to Lei Jijian and couldn't help but tease him.
Lei Jijian complained to me, sounding aggrieved, saying that the girl had a beast god aura about her, which was like bloodline suppression.
At this point, I roughly guessed what the Beast God was; I figured it was the ancestor of those ancient mythical beasts.
Similar to their king, I've read a lot of novels about mythical beasts before.
In the settings of those novels, many mythical beasts are filled with awe for bloodlines. Even if the other party's strength is inferior to their own, as long as the bloodline is excellent enough, it will exert a certain degree of suppression.
These are things ingrained in one's very being, and there's no way to change them.
Sometimes I seriously doubt whether some novelists have actually experienced anything. Is being an author just a means for them to hide their true identity?
"Let's go, brother. Be careful on the road ahead. Remember, you can only trust me here!"
The girl continued to speak in that sweet voice, and at that moment I suddenly felt that the girl's voice had changed, becoming even sweeter and more cloying than before.
I was somewhat relieved that I was with the young girl; if it had been Lao Dao, he probably would have been unable to restrain himself long ago.
"Don't worry, I will always believe you!"
I don't know why, but as soon as the girl opened her mouth, I blurted out those words.
Actually, even I was a little surprised after I finished speaking.
This girl truly possesses a special kind of magic that constantly draws me in.
At this moment, I thought of Ji Xinglan again. When I first met Ji Xinglan, I had similar thoughts.
This moment is just like that moment back then.
"If you encounter anything strange, don't back down, just trust me!"
Seeing that I didn't answer, the girl continued to speak with a smile.
I squeezed the girl's hand, nodded slightly, and that was my answer to her.
And so the girl pulled me along, skipping and hopping as she pushed open the door to the palace.
The sun outside was so bright I could hardly open my eyes; I haven't seen such bright sunshine in a long time.
Is this the sunlight outside the mountain village? It is indeed so bright and dazzling.
The sunlight was so bright I could hardly open my eyes, so I raised the hand holding the scepter to slightly block my view.
The girl then used her other hand to pull my hand down.
"Brother, just keep moving forward. Trust me, you'll find it very beneficial!"
After the girl pulled me down, she led me little by little outside.
Since this girl has said so, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and absorb the energy inside.
Sure enough, even the sun is completely different in this region.
The sun shone on my face, and I felt a burning sensation, as if flames were constantly scorching my skin.
But then I remembered what the girl had said earlier: no matter what happens, in this area, you should choose to trust the girl.
The girl held my hand tighter and tighter, and walked faster and faster.
I glanced at the road around me out of the corner of my eye. The road felt quite unfamiliar to me; it was a narrow, winding path.
The roadside was surrounded by grayish-green plants that emitted a putrid smell.
It smelled exactly the same as when I came in before; it was the stench of a corpse.
I curiously glanced at the plants out of the corner of my eye, only to discover that they were all strangely shaped and completely different from what I had imagined.
Although some plants have leaves that look like they have a few small holes, they are growing quite lushly.
Suddenly I noticed that fresh blood was seeping from the roots of these plants. These things were like living things, and the leaves were still wriggling.
"Does your brother like these things?"
The girl suddenly stopped, looked at me calmly, and asked me this question.
My lips twitched slightly, but I shook my head. I told the girl that I didn't know why, but some of the plants seemed vaguely familiar.
"Especially that one, I always feel like it's one of my family members!"
I pointed to the grayish-green plant at the very front.
More accurately, it is a flower.
The leaves were still a dark green, and a bit rotten, but the flower was quite dazzling and radiant.
Most importantly, I sensed a familiar feeling emanating from this flower.
It felt like my closest friend.
"Brother, just follow your instincts!"
The girl paused for a moment, then sighed, nodded, and told me to go by my instincts.
I let go of the girl's hand, walked up to the flower, and touched the flower bud.
The flower, which was not fully bloomed at first, slowly opened under my touch.
However, when the flower bloomed, it startled me so much that I took two steps back.
This is not a dazzling flower at all, but a flower with a human face!
After the flower buds bloom, the flower looks exactly like a human face.
The thing was still laughing at me and making a giggling sound, which made me shudder.
As I stepped back, I discovered that all the plants along the path had bloomed with similar flowers.
Each flower is shaped like a human face.
They made eerie noises, and when I heard them, I felt extremely uncomfortable, even a little bit disgusted.
When I suddenly turned around, I was surprised to find that the girl was gone.
Holy crap!
