Do I look familiar to you?
“Save us!!!”
"Save me—"
Waves of blood rolled, and the mountain of bones collapsed, as if countless evil spirits in hell were howling miserably and struggling frantically to crawl back to the human world.
In the scorching heat, everyone was sweating profusely in panic and anxiety, but they were still frightened by the earth-shaking howling of ghosts and wolves.
The wails echoed throughout the heaven and earth.
A hand covered in blood and black ash gripped the edge of the deep pit. Jiang Jingyuan exerted force on her hand and just as she climbed over the edge of the pit, she was frightened by the extremely strong emotions contained in the sudden howling. She trembled and froze for a moment.
“Get out of the way!”
A female voice suddenly exploded in her ears.
Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously looked back, and saw a dark clay man rushing towards her with great momentum!
“!!!” Jiang Jingyuan’s body trembled and he immediately dodged to the side.
But this short distance was not enough to avoid the attack from behind, and there was no time for her to run far away!
The scorching heat, like the scorching sun, suddenly rushed towards her back. Jiang Jingyuan's eyes trembled, and her mind quickly thought about how to block this attack.
Just a moment—
She can be away from here in just a moment!!!
In the scorching wind, the ends of Jiang Jingyuan's flying black hair and the hem of her clothes began to burn. At the critical moment, a white hand firmly grasped Jiang Jingyuan's right arm and suddenly threw her to the side!
The black clay figure with a scorching surface passed through the place where she was originally located, accompanied by a whistling hot wind. With a loud "bang", black smoke rose, and the terrifying black long shadow rushed forward and crashed into a tall ancient tree behind it.
The tall trees suddenly fell backwards, and the black holes on the trunks gradually expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and thick and pungent black smoke continued to rise from them.
At the same time, Jiang Jingyuan caught a glimpse of several blood-red figures on the edge of the pit being suddenly pulled down into the deep pit by a force, and countless black shadows covered the sky and submerged them in an instant.
In an instant, Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of deep surprise appeared on his face.
"ah!!!"
“Ahhh!!! What are you doing!!!”
The surroundings suddenly exploded, and Jiang Jingyuan's ears were filled with countless people's screams.
“Ahhhhhh—”
"Your Highness!!! Find Your Highness!!!"
“What are you doing?! What are you doing—!!”
The bloody figures on the edge of the pit screamed and ran towards the direction where the people fell, and the other people who were fleeing subconsciously stopped in panic, holding their heads and screaming.
Several guards around Prince Yu stood at the edge of the pit, looking at the sea of blood and corpses below, their eyes bloodshot. They looked back and forth but could not find Prince Yu and his companions.
One of them had a ferocious expression, turned around suddenly and opened his mouth.
“Puff…”
The expression on the man's face instantly changed from anger to astonishment and confusion. He looked at the terrified person in front of him, opened his mouth, and dark red blood instantly gushed out of his throat, splashing all over the face of the person in front of him.
His mouth was open, his face was covered in blood, and he collapsed.
The screams all around stopped abruptly, and everyone stared at this sudden scene with wide eyes.
"You..." A trembling voice came from nowhere.
Suddenly, screams of people exploded again all around.
"Are you crazy?! How could you, how could you--"
"What are you doing! What are we going to do without them? What are we going to do!!!"
“How do we get out of here!!!”
The guards at the edge of the pit looked fierce and raised their swords to look at the man with blood on his face, but the man with blood on his face had already turned around and ran away.
As he ran, he yelled, "Do you think they will let us go?! Their master is dead. Even if we get out, they won't let us go! They won't let us leave at all! We've offended them a long time ago, and now they're dead too. There's no way we'll survive!"
"Only by killing them here will no one know what happened here! We won't be blamed for it—"
"If you don't want to kill me, then wait to die!!!"
"Don't try to push all this onto me. I'm telling you, none of you can escape now that you're standing here!"
He shouted loudly, and in an instant he blended into the panicked crowd and disappeared, leaving only the shrill echoes between heaven and earth.
Everyone froze in place for a moment, looking at the people at the edge of the pit. Everyone had an ugly expression on their face, their lips moved, but no one spoke.
At the same time, the temperature around them rose rapidly again, reaching a point where everyone was almost unbearable. The dark figures twisted and knocked away the standing figures one after another.
The "bang bang bang" sounds of collision were mixed with the sound of burning fire. Everyone moved, and countless explosions and attacks instantly obscured everyone's vision.
"You ungrateful little—"
"boom!!!"
The huge explosion drowned out all the noises below the cliff. Jiang Jingyuan, who ran into the deep forest after the girl in a light green dress, frowned and felt dizzy. His mind went blank for a moment.
The sound of the explosion subsided and everything in the world was silent.
The two people running in the deep forest stopped. The girl in green in front turned around, her clothes fluttering, and the mountains and rivers above her turned. She smiled at Jiang Jingyuan behind her and asked:
"Do I look familiar to you?"
Jiang Jingyuan had tilted her head and raised her hand to rub her ear in confusion. Upon hearing this, she lowered her hand and looked at the girl in front of her. The corners of her mouth curled slightly as she replied, "Of course."
She said: "In the Baizhe Hall, I am happy."
Suddenly, the smile on the face of the girl in the light green dress in front of him became even brighter, and she said with a smile: "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence indeed." Jiang Jingyuan nodded, and said somewhat helplessly, "I was originally teleporting to Chen Country from Baiwen Tower, but I didn't expect to be teleported here, and I can't get out..."
Hearing this, Yu Linhuan nodded without any surprise and said, "I know about this, too. Along the way, I've seen quite a few people accidentally teleported into the Grandma Forest. I don't know who is so cruel and crazy as to do such a thing."
After a pause, she looked at Jiang Jingyuan and said with some emotion: "But this is the first time I've seen someone who hijacked Baiwen Tower..."
Huh? Jiang Jingyuan was stunned and asked, "Weren't those people you saw teleported from Baiwen Tower?"
Yu Linhuan turned around and walked side by side with her on the lush forest path. He said frankly, "No. Hasn't the story of the appearance of a spirit fox in Grandma's forest been spreading like wildfire recently? When I first saw other people in the forest, I thought they were also looking for the spirit fox. But as soon as they saw me, they rushed up to me with tears in their eyes and asked me where I was. When I asked, I found out that they all teleported on their own and then inexplicably appeared here. No matter how they teleported, they couldn't get out."
I didn’t expect these people to cast a wide net... Jiang Jingyuan nodded in understanding.
Then she heard Yu Linhuan say: "But they all have one thing in common..."
Jiang Jingyuan turned her head and saw Yu Linhuan also turned his head to look at her and said, "They were all teleported from Yu Country to Chen Country, or from Chen Country to Yu Country - that is, they passed through Grandma Forest during the teleportation."
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes moved, and he said, "I also came from Yu Country to Chen Country."
Yu Linhuan nodded. "Just as I thought, they intercepted the person during the transmission and threw him into the Grandma Forest."
As she spoke, she sighed, her entire demeanor instantly declining, as if a dark cloud had loomed over her head. "I've been ripped off so badly... I thought I could try my luck and make a killing, but now it seems the news about the spirit fox was spread by those people who lured others into the Grandma Forest..."
Jiang Jingyuan listened, her thoughts drifting away unconsciously. She muttered in her heart: "Spiritual beast..." She remembered the scene she saw outside the Diqu City of Yuan Kingdom a few months ago.
——The tall and mysterious fiery red figure gradually spread out its wings covered with flames, stepped into the air step by step, and flew into the sky with flapping huge wings.
Is that a spirit beast...?
Recalling this, Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "He is truly a genius..." Even a plucked hair of that spirit beast could be worshipped as a family heirloom!
Her thoughts drifted away for a moment, then she came to her senses and sighed softly in response to the girl in light green clothes beside her: "It's been a wasted trip, it's really hard work."
"That's right..." Yu Linhuan looked up at the sky and murmured sadly, "I'm used to it. This is how we are in Baizhetang. We do jobs that pay little but are busy... I thought I could get a good deal this time..."
At this point, she suddenly became furious, her hands clenched into fists, her expression contorted, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "In the end, I didn't even see a hair, and you still want me to pay for the trip!!!"
Jiang Jingyuan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard a sharp voice suddenly rang out from the side not far away.
"who?!!"
The expressions on their faces instantly turned into alertness and solemnity. They looked at each other and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
In the deep forest, men and women, all wearing clothes dyed black and red, sat around a campfire. One of them looked at Jiang Jingyuan and the other two approaching and shouted sternly:
"Who are you?! What are you secretly eavesdropping on?"
Eavesdropping, bullshit! I didn't hear a single word he said... Yu Linhuan suppressed his anger, put on a slightly twisted smile, and stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, fellow immortals. We just happened to be passing by..."
"Senior Brother! These two people are too suspicious. You can't believe what they say!" Someone interrupted Yu Linhuan sharply and turned to the person who spoke first.
"That's right, how could it be such a coincidence? This forest is so big, how could they just happen to pass by us?" Another person also agreed decisively.
I haven't finished yet, don't interrupt me... Yu Linhuan gritted her teeth inwardly, but on the surface her expression twisted for a moment before she said with a forced smile, "That's strange. The forest here is so big, so you fellow immortals are just waiting for us here?"
"You!" the man with the shrill voice suddenly said angrily, "Brother, these two people are indeed suspicious! Quickly capture them! Maybe they are the ones who teleported us to this damn place!!"
Do you think I can’t beat you? I won’t endure it! Yu Linhuan couldn’t even keep the smile on her face. Her expression was distorted and she stared at the man gloomily.
Jiang Jingyuan, who was standing next to her, glanced at the expression on her face calmly, and swallowed the words he was about to say.
A fight was bound to break out eventually, and Jiang Jingyuan felt it was a waste of time to explain now.
"Want to fight, huh?!" As expected, Yu Linhuan, dressed in a light green dress, drew the sword from her waist with a clang and cursed fiercely with a ferocious expression, "If I tried to eavesdrop, would you guys find out?!"
"Don't talk about eavesdropping. Even if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have a chance to fight back!!!"
