The child, though a ghost, was able to receive a real lotus seed.
Su Muye and he seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
Qin Xian was curious, but as soon as he got up and took a few steps in that direction, the child ghost looked frightened and disappeared with a "whoosh".
Su Muyue frowned, "It's all your fault for scaring her away!"
Qin Xian: "..."
Su Muyue complained to Su Deng, "I found out about this village from her right away. It's all his fault for scaring them away!"
Qin Xian's lips twitched slightly, "...I didn't know, so is this my fault?"
Qiao Zhi seemed thoughtful. "Xiao Ye, what did you say to him just now?"
Su Muye wrinkled his nose. "I asked her why she became a ghost, and she said..."
“Wow…Wow…”
Before Su Muyue could finish speaking, a baby's cry suddenly rang out from the village, sharp and long, breaking the silence of the night.
In an instant, Qin Xian got goosebumps all over his body and jumped behind Su Deng, "Why is there a child crying here!"
Qiao Zhiwei paused, "Could it be a baby ghost?"
Su Deng stood up. "We'll know once we go and see."
The crying came from deep within the village, loud and piercing in the dead of night.
After meeting up with Liu Sangua, the group went over together.
“Ghosts can talk, but not every ghost can.” Liu Sangua went out for a walk and observed a few ghosts before coming to a conclusion. “It should be that you need to find a special ghost in the village to trigger a dialogue. After completing the task, you can get a key.”
Qin Xian gritted his teeth, "I knew this damn mission wouldn't be as simple as it was made out to be."
But it's not that difficult.
Only when you walk deep into the village do you discover that there is a river in the village, about two or three meters wide, with the water level almost on the ground, and the reeds on both banks are dense and more than a meter high.
The water flows fast.
“Wow wow wow…”
The group searched for a long time in the withered reeds but found nothing, yet the sound of crying seemed to be right next to their ears.
Qiao Zhi stared at the water's surface, "It couldn't be coming from inside the water..."
Su Deng turned her head to look at the group, "Why don't some of you go down and take a look?"
After a moment of silence, Qin Xian suddenly pulled Su Muye into his arms and said righteously, "I'll help you take care of your son!"
Su Muyue, who was being used as a tool: "...Do you think that way everyone won't know you're a coward, that you're afraid, and that you're running away?"
Qin Xian's expression remained unchanged. "I can't swim or dive either!"
"Nobody asked you to go." Su Deng gave a slight twitch of her lips.
Qiao Zhi raised an eyebrow. "I think we should let him go."
"Hehe..." Liu Sangua chuckled softly, "Don't scare him."
"It's right here! Come quick!"
"Liu Sangua..."
At this moment, all the players in the village heard the crying, followed the sound, and found each other by the river.
They immediately went on high alert.
There are eight or nine people over there, probably two teams of players.
After watching Liu Sangua and Su Deng for a while, they began to talk in hushed tones.
"Let's find the keys first, and not fight with them..."
"Surviving and clearing the level is the most important thing!"
They couldn't beat them, and no one dared to provoke Liu Sangua.
"Goddess Liu..." Chen Wu paused for a moment, then walked over, extremely polite. "It's really lucky to meet Goddess Liu here. Goddess Liu is so amazing, you must have already found the clues to the key, right?"
This is a test to elicit information.
Qiao Zhi raised an eyebrow, "Even if we find it, we can't tell you."
Chen Wu's face stiffened, then he gave an awkward smile. "We're all just trying to survive, so how about we cooperate for now?"
"This..." Liu Sangua raised his chin toward Su Deng, speaking slowly and deliberately, "You'll have to ask our captain."
His words drew the attention of all the nearby players to Su Deng.
Liu Sangua's reputation in the Spirit Realm was known to almost everyone.
The president of Yagami-no-Kage has never shown his face, and there are many rumors that he advanced to the C-rank otherworld in the last leap competition, so the position has always been vacant.
Liu Sangua is the vice president, but he controls all of the Eight Gods Palaces.
Even if someone like that is forced by the rules to actively seek out a team, and that team is with a new player who has only recently entered the game, he should still be the team leader.
But now he says that Su Deng is his captain?
How could he possibly submit to someone else?
But Liu Sangua's tone didn't sound like he was joking.
Chen Wu paused for two seconds and looked at Su Deng.
Su Deng's exquisite features were framed by bright almond-shaped eyes. She smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
Chen Wu was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving that she had agreed so readily. "Really?"
Su Deng nodded, her expression sincere, "Of course it's true."
"That……"
"Now that we've reached a cooperation agreement, shouldn't we share the clues first?"
Lin Zimin from Chen Wu's team spoke first, ahead of Chen Wu.
"you……"
His attitude, tone, and even his facial expression were extremely unpleasant. Qin Xian frowned, wanting to say something, but Liu Sangua stopped him.
Qin Xian asked, displeased, "What?"
“My mother isn’t stupid.” Su Muye turned her head and glared at him.
Su Deng smiled and said, "Of course."
So easy to talk to?
Lin Zimin and his group were taken aback, some of them still doubting it.
Qiao Zhi's eyes darted around. "Since you want us to talk, shouldn't you talk too? After all, exchanging information is what constitutes cooperation."
“Then we’ll go first.” Lin Zimin squinted, stepped forward, and spoke in a voice that the other teams couldn’t hear, “This village harbors evil spirits, and we suspect the key is related to them.”
Qin Xian was speechless. "We know that too, so what kind of clue is this?"
