Chapter 22: Could its host be a villain?
"System, where is Huanli?"
Ning Shengsheng ran out while Xue Chen was practicing.
[Just halfway up the mountain, the phantom raccoon is still a spirit beast egg, surrounded by demonic beasts guarding it.]
【You do your best.】
"How many are there, and what kind of monsters are they?"
[Sorry, host, the monster guarding the phantom raccoon egg is randomly refreshed, I don't know.]
No wonder the risk factor is so high.
Ning Shengsheng was speechless for a moment.
The system added: "I can provide useful information. There are only two possibilities for the monsters appearing around Huan Li. The first possibility is that there are five seventh-level monsters, equivalent to humans in the early stages of Xuanqiao. The second possibility is that there are one hundred fourth-level monsters, equivalent to humans in the early stages of Xuqiao."
???
She asked calmly, "Then I'd like to ask System Baby, what is your host's cultivation level?"
[Ahem, no… no cultivation…]
"Wow, that's a great answer. In other words, I have no cultivation and I stole a spirit beast egg under the guard of five seventh-level monsters or a hundred fourth-level monsters."
"Is that so? System baby!"
The system thinks the host is crazy.
Comforting.
[Should we...or should we just quit?]
"Do it! Why not? What you do is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth, and what you do is like seeking wealth and honor at the risk of your life!"
The higher the risk factor, the more powerful the spirit beast.
The emperor gave her so many magic weapons.
The worst that can happen is running away.
Ning Shengsheng hurried to the middle of the mountain while sorting out the magic weapons that might be used in her storage bag.
“Bang!”
Stick a sprinting talisman on your legs.
He then held the Turtle Breath Pearl that concealed his breath in his mouth.
[Didi, less than 100 meters away from the target.]
The system issues a broadcast.
Ning Shengsheng bent down and hid in the bushes, then pulled out a thin black tube like a magic trick.
It was also given by the emperor's brother.
Its function is similar to that of a modern telescope.
"Let me know where the spirit beast egg is...where is it...hmm? It can't be that one, right?"
Take a closer look.
Ning Shengsheng's hair stood on end and she felt terrible.
Fifty meters away, there were densely packed insects. The insects were huge in size and had hard shells.
The system is about to cry: [Host, congratulations, you won the prize. You encountered the most difficult mode, a hundred rot-winged spiders.]
"Tell me more about it."
[The Rotten-Winged Spider is a fourth-level demonic beast. It lives in groups and no one will act alone, making it extremely difficult to kill. After being killed, its rotten flesh regenerates and can only be burned. However, it has wings on its back and will fly away if attacked with fire.]
Can’t kill, can’t burn?
What else can I do?
The system thought Ning Shengsheng would be anxious and was about to tell her to forget about it, but unexpectedly, the little girl's eyes sparkled, and she even said excitedly, "It's okay, we'll stay here overnight and observe the habits of the Rot Wing Spider."
"What if there's a chance?"
The system paused slightly, "Okay, host."
Even though Ning Shengsheng is not a pampered princess.
But in that small world, life is also comfortable and pleasant.
It was once again impressed by Ning Shengsheng's personal charm, and even felt a little admiration for her.
The sun went into the mountains.
The night slowly rises and the stars appear in the sky.
There were a lot of mosquitoes, rats and ants on the mountain, and Ning Shengsheng had several bites on her calves.
She slapped to death the mosquito that was sucking her blood from her neck.
My stomach growled.
System: [Host, please eat something.]
"I'm not hungry." She pulled her collar to her chin, covering her neck that was exposed to the mosquitoes.
Gurgle gurgle~
My stomach is rumbling again.
Ning Shengsheng had no choice but to take out the dried pastry, chewing it and swallowing it with difficulty.
Until late at night.
The swarm of rot-wing spiders began to become restless.
The rot-winged spiders on the periphery were the first to disperse and crawl in the opposite direction of Ning Shengsheng.
Her almond-shaped eyes lit up, "Hey, I knew it, he must have gone out to find food!"
Seeing her getting ready to make a move.
The system quickly warned: [Not now, don't take any risks. They won't all leave to forage, and each Rot Wing Spider is not far from each other. If one reports a warning, the others will immediately fly back!]
"So that's how it is."
Ning Shengsheng saw that there were only about twenty spirit beasts left protecting the spirit beast egg in the middle, and she made up her mind: "That's where their defense is weakest, and it's our only chance."
After all, after watching them for a whole day, they didn't move at all.
"Try it. If there's any danger, I'll run away."
See, she's made up her mind.
System encouragement: [Host, come on! ]
"Well, don't worry!" She pretended to be relaxed and raised her storage bag, "I have so many treasures here!"
He patted his chest again.
"There's also the Eight Treasures Mirror to protect me, so it's no problem."
Ning Shengsheng took out a new turtle breath bead and held it in her mouth, hiding in the bushes and slowly approaching.
Take every step carefully.
The weather was hot and the night was hazy, so we could only move forward in the dark by moonlight.
A few minutes passed like years.
finally!
She saw the spirit beast egg surrounded by rot-wing spiders, the eggshell emitting a blue light.
The closer you are to success, the less you should panic.
Slowly pull the Liuhuo Ling out of the storage bag.
Ning Shengsheng's plan was to sneak over and use the high-level magic weapon, Liuhuo Ling, to take out the phantom raccoon egg when the flowing fire fell and the group of monsters were in chaos.
Then run back to the Hanling Pool.
There is a barrier set up by Ning Xuan in the Hanling Pool. Not to mention hundreds of fourth-level monsters, even thousands of them cannot break in.
“Now!”
"Liuhuo Ling, go!"
Chang Ling flew into the air, and dense red flames fell down, and the rot-winged spiders crawled around anxiously.
She activated the Eight Treasures Mirror to protect herself and rushed in directly.
Take the spirit beast eggs and run away.
Without any hesitation.
System: ...Host, you really cherish your life.
Good!
Holding the glowing egg in his hands, he turned around to look at the Rot-Winged Spider that had noticed something was wrong and was chasing him.
Ning Shengsheng slapped the talisman urgently.
"Dead Leg! Run!"
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the Scud Talisman is, it can only stick to a useless girl like her.
The Rot Wing Spider opened and closed its wings.
It seemed like he was about to catch up.
Ning Shengsheng had no choice but to bite her index finger and drip the blood from her fingertip onto the talisman.
This was a strange trick she learned from Xue Chen. Anything watered with blood would have double the effect.
The rot-winged spider chasing Ning Shengsheng screamed.
Seventy Rot-Wing Spiders came over in search of food.
She felt the earth shaking, and blood from her fingertips dripped into the talisman.
Damn, it’s still not fast enough!
"Squeak..."
What's burnt?
She looked down and found that the talisman had burned out!
She was at least three kilometers away from the top of the mountain.
"Am I really going to die here?"
Ning Shengsheng's legs felt extremely heavy. Without the talisman, they felt like cement filled with lead.
It's impossible to move forward!
The taste of blood welled up in her throat.
Looking back, I saw that the distance I had finally created was easily caught up by the spiders.
The system was even more anxious than she was: [Host! Survive, Host, I can't lose you!]
It doesn't want to change its owner again!
The girl suddenly stopped running and stopped where she was. Her face was pale, but her almond-shaped eyes were surprisingly bright.
She laughed softly, "It's okay, I'll survive as long as I can."
He raised the back of his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He made seals with his hands, moved his lips, and recited the incantation quickly.
[Host! Don't use such evil methods!]
The system that understood what she was about to do was almost scared out of its wits, and the cold mechanical voice actually broke.
Who come and save me!
Could it be that the host it finally managed to ambush is a villain?
