Are you busy recently?
The familiar thick black shadow moved among the grass and trees, making a rustling sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent foggy forest. Each sound seemed to pluck people's heartstrings.
Jiang Jingyuan's gaze followed the thick, inky black snake body in one direction. The inky black snake scales gradually became sparse upwards. Under the moonlight, the glittering scales crawled on the soft waist. Jiang Jingyuan saw a soft human figure without surprise.
The graceful figure, like a jungle fairy, lay motionless among the grass and trees, as if a real snake was taking a nap, or like a dead creature that had long since lost its voice.
“Squeak…”
Suddenly, the sound of a branch breaking rang out undisguisedly in the dead silent forest.
The figure that had been crawling in the grass for a long time suddenly stood up, its snake tail tightened, its pair of silver eyes staring straight ahead, its mouth slightly open, its silver-white pointed fangs exposed, and it made a snake-like "hissing" sound, as if warning something.
The two girls hiding in the tree also held their breath instantly, not daring to move. They carefully turned their gaze slowly and looked in the direction of the sound.
In the darkness, a black hem that almost blended into the surroundings swayed, and "swish..." three identical black-robed figures walked out from behind the overlapping tall grass and trees.
"ha……"
The creature with a human body and a snake tail lying in the grass suddenly opened its mouth wide, and its snake fangs flashed sharp cold light in the darkness. It arched its upper body warily towards the three figures walking in front of it, and a low snorting sound came out of its mouth, as if it was ready to attack at any time.
The two people in the tree were also on edge, as they smelled a strong smell of blood!
Jiang Jingyuan looked at the scene below, but tried to control herself so as not to attract attention. For a moment, her palms were full of sweat, and she was trying hard to endure the cold in the foggy forest at night.
As the three dark shadows slowly moved in the woods, the strong smell of blood quickly spread around, and anxiety and fear suddenly descended here.
Obviously, the creature with a human body and a snake tail also sensed that the people in front of it were not easy to mess with. It became anxious, and while hissing, it stared at the front with its eyes, and its snake tail squirmed and slowly shrank backwards.
The three people in front stopped motionless.
A pale hand stretched out from the black robe, its five fingers casually hooking a birdcage covered with black cloth.
The man in the lead held the birdcage in one hand and pulled off the black cloth covering the cage with the other.
An exquisite brass birdcage appeared in this eerie and somewhat desolate forest. There was no bird in the cage, but instead a brass chain hanging from it...
Jiang Jingyuan on the tree opened his eyes wide in shock, unable to believe whether the scene before him was real.
In that exquisite and gorgeous birdcage, a huge blood-red eyeball hung on a brass chain!
The blood-red eyeball seemed to have life, swinging gently in the cage with the brass chain. The blood-red eyeball turned and looked at the graceful figure in the dark forest ahead.
Suddenly, an indescribable, strange, and terrifying scream was heard in the deep forest at night.
The sound of the wind and the swaying of the grass and trees suddenly stopped, and even the gradually thickening clouds and mist in the forest and the falling leaves stopped at the same time.
The world was completely silent, and everything seemed to be frozen.
Jiang Jingyuan on the tree curled up her fingers unconsciously. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Fear and anxiety swallowed her up in an instant like the legendary prehistoric flood.
"rustle……"
The leaves that were suspended in the air fell down gracefully, and the thickening fog flowed and then became thinner.
Jiang Jingyuan froze, her eyes still fixed on the three dark figures under the tree, which were approaching the long figure that had fallen to the ground like ghosts. She did not dare to turn her eyes away hastily when she was in a state of anxiety, for fear of being noticed.
The three black-robed figures silently bent down beside the thing with a human body and a snake tail, and stretched out their pale, bony hands from the black robes, holding daggers or short knives.
“Sizzle…”
A creepy sound of flesh being cut rang out in the silent dark forest.
The blade, shining with a cold silver light, cut open the snake's belly. The smell of blood around it became more and more intense. Hands pulled out blood-stained objects one after another from it.
Jiang Jingyuan squinted to see through the white gauze.
"!" As soon as she saw clearly what the three men were holding, her gaze suddenly retracted as if burned, and her heart suddenly beat rapidly in her ears.
A blood-red hem of clothing faintly peeked out from the ruptured snake's belly, and pairs of pale hands pulled out storage bags or fragments of magical tools...
They are...
They are...
They are the ones who teleported Jiang Jingyuan and the others into this Grandma Forest!!!
Were they taking the magical instruments carried by the deceased monks? Why? How could they, who could create such a bizarre thing, be lacking such a thing?
Moreover, they have been holding back for a long time, so why would they send people in from outside now?
Jiang Jingyuan's mind was in a mess. Although he had finally seen the mastermind behind the scenes, the doubts in his heart did not disappear at all. Instead, he became even more confused.
"rustle……"
The branches and leaves swayed slightly, and the temperature in the forest dropped sharply again. It was so cold that the two people on the tree had to grit their teeth to keep from shivering.
The three people under the tree seemed to be unaware. They put away the magic weapons they took out from the snake's belly, straightened their backs, and the leader picked up the brass birdcage placed aside again.
The brass chain in the birdcage swayed slightly, and the huge blood-red eyeballs turned again to the beautiful snake lying on the ground as if it had been dead for a long time.
Under the gaze of that strange eye, flesh and blood gradually grew from the broken snake belly, interweaving to stitch up the cracks. In just a blink of an eye, the snake belly returned to its original intact appearance.
Jiang Jingyuan felt a complicated feeling in her heart after seeing this scene. She silently asked in her mind, "Is this... also your research?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Qinglin's voice rang in her mind: "No..."
The two of them fell silent at once.
With a hissing sound, the two silver eyes in the grass began to move. It breathed at the three people in front of it, and its tail wiggled as it quickly retreated into the depths of the jungle behind it.
The three people under the tree did not move.
"ha……"
There was a sudden sound of air blowing next to Jiang Jingyuan's ears, and a cool breeze blew behind her ears.
"!!!" Jiang Jingyuan's body froze instantly. She didn't look back because she saw three ghostly figures under the tree looking up in their direction...
"Walk!"
Yu Linhuan beside her looked serious, frowned, and put his arm around her shoulders, taking her with him as he quickly got out of the overlapping branches and leaves, jumped on the branches of tall ancient trees one after another, and ran wildly into the depths of darkness.
brush--
In the boundless darkness deep in the jungle, countless brass eyes suddenly opened!
"Rustle...rustle..." One after another, figures, some big, some small, some long, some short, rushed towards the two figures running in the deep forest from all directions.
At the same time, a soft sneer sounded from behind the two of them: "Hmph..."
Arrogant and dismissive.
With a "clang" sound, Yu Linhuan unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and countless figures crawling in the darkness turned into powder in an instant. The large number of brass lantern-like eyes dimmed, and more brass eyes lit up in the darkness, rolling and staring at them.
At the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly descended, and the pressure like a mountain pressing down on the backs of the two men.
Jiang Jingyuan's brows knitted fiercely. Without any defensive magic weapon, she was afraid it would not be so easy to escape this time...
As she was thinking, she heard Yu Linhuan in front of her utter a low curse.
Yu Linhuan grabbed her wrist with one hand and pulled her forward a few inches. With his other hand, Yu Linhuan swung the long sword into the air in front of him.
The mist dissipated, and the tall ancient trees bent to the sides in an instant. The sword energy was so powerful that everything in the forest turned into smoke and dissipated in an instant just by being touched by the aftermath.
Wherever the sword energy passed, there was nothingness, and an unobstructed path was opened in the deep forest ahead.
Yu Linhuan pushed Jiang Jingyuan forward and said quickly:
"Boss, go ahead! I'll be there in a minute!"
Jiang Jingyuan stumbled twice before decisively and steadily running forward. She knew that if she stayed, she would only be a hindrance. If she moved forward, even if she encountered an enemy, she could hold them back until Yu Linhuan arrived.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan ran faster and faster, trying to get away from the battlefield behind him as quickly as possible.
“Rustle…rustle…”
It is indeed a deep mountain forest. Yu Linhuan killed so many snakes, insects, rats and ants just now, and now there are large groups of brass eyes.
Jiang Jingyuan looked at the figures appearing around him that almost blended into the darkness, and his running pace gradually slowed down.
"sand--"
Jiang Jingyuan stopped and looked at the dark shadows surrounding her from all directions.
"what are you doing here?"
A cold and somewhat casual voice suddenly sounded beside her. Jiang Jingyuan was so frightened that she jumped up on the spot and took a long step back.
Her heartbeat stopped for a moment, then started beating rapidly again. She caught a glimpse of a fiery red figure standing in the darkness beside her.
Qin Jiuyan yawned lazily, covering her mouth with her hand. From Jiang Jingyuan's perspective, a brass lantern was lit in the night behind her, looking eerie and spooky.
After the shock, Jiang Jingyuan was suddenly filled with surprise. He opened his mouth and was about to ask her why she was here, but suddenly remembered that he had sent a message with the help of the copper bell before.
Jiang Jingyuan looked at her carefully again and found that the edges of Qin Jiuyan's fiery red figure that appeared here were illusory and hazy, and it seemed that it was not her real body.
But it’s enough...
Jiang Jingyuan thought about it and was silent for a moment. Looking at Qin Jiuyan who was yawning repeatedly, he said, "What you said before..."
"Hmm?" Qin Jiuyan looked at her in confusion.
Jiang Jingyuan used his eyes to indicate the situation behind him, then looked directly at her and said, "Shouldn't you show a little bit of your sincerity?"
Qin Jiuyan paused for a moment, then burst out laughing. He said in a very pleasant manner, "Okay. What do you want me to do? Take you away from here?"
Uh… Jiang Jingyuan paused after hearing this. She had just said this subconsciously when she saw Qin Jiuyan. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, it seemed a bit wasteful…
She only regretted this for a moment, then shook her head repeatedly in her heart: "No, no, the sooner you use it, the sooner you can enjoy it. Who can guarantee that Qin Jiuyan will agree to help later?"
After thinking about it, Jiang Jingyuan looked up at her and asked, "Have you been busy recently?"
Qin Jiuyan: “???”
Qin Jiuyan inexplicably felt a bad premonition in her heart. The smile on her face disappeared. She looked at Jiang Jingyuan in front of her, was silent for a moment, and said, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Jingyuan said calmly, "How about wandering around this forest with me for a few days?"
