Chapter 8 What do the junior sister and the senior brother think?
Jiang Zhaoyue didn’t know what happened outside, but the world in the mirror was not what Luo Huaiyin imagined. It was the inheritance and treasure of the strongest man.
The sky is still blue, but they themselves are different.
Their spiritual power disappeared and their spiritual awareness weakened. In other words, they became mortals with stronger bodies, and now they can't even open the storage ring.
However, the rules of the secret realm will not do anything without reason, and the various changes just show that this is a test.
Since it is a test, there must be a way to pass it. Since they are all mortals, she actually has the advantage.
Luo Huaiyin probably thought the same thing. After observing his surroundings, he calmed down and said to Jiang Zhaoyue with a smile, "Junior sister, it seems that only the two of us can go together."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound coming from afar, and it seemed that it would soon reach them.
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced in the direction of the sound, turned around and ran.
Luo Huaiying was a little slower than her because he had his back to that side, but after one look, his face changed drastically and he quickly caught up with Jiang Zhaoyue, running in the same direction as her.
At this moment, all the gentleness, elegance and appearance of a banished immortal were thrown behind his mind.
The two of them just wished they had two more legs.
Emerging from the jungle not far away were many huge, terrifying spiders with human face patterns.
The rustling sound is the sound of their legs quickly scraping against the branches.
These spiders are as tall as humans, and there is no spiritual energy fluctuation on their bodies. They are not scary under normal circumstances, but for a mortal, they are the most terrifying things in the world.
Jiang Zhaoyue said nothing and ran hard. When Luo Huaiyin approached her, she turned around and kicked this "gentle and kind" senior brother out as a scapegoat, and then continued to run.
Luo Huaiyin made an unclear sound, probably cursing her, but at this moment there was really no time to curse others. Before he could fall to the ground, he forcibly stopped his strength and chased after her.
They didn't know how long or how far they ran. When both of them had disheveled hair and were gasping for breath, the giant spider chasing them finally disappeared.
It was not until this time that Luo Huaiyin had time to think about what had happened before.
Perhaps it was due to excessive physical exertion that he could no longer maintain the dignity of a senior brother. His face lost its usual calm and gentle expression and was tinged with a hint of coldness.
Luo Huaiyin sat on the ground, panting, and sneered slightly: "Junior Sister Jiang is really a 'gentle and considerate'."
Jiang Zhaoyue was not much better off than him. Two of the red hairpins on her head had fallen off, and the only remaining metal hairpin was held in her hand.
She did not argue with Luo Huaiyin, but looked around carefully. After running for so long, the familiar jungle was still in the distance, as if they had never left.
Luo Huaiyin also discovered this abnormality.
This shows that 'escaping' is not the way to pass the test.
Sure enough, about two moments later, the familiar sound of spider legs scraping through the bushes was heard again.
It was impossible to run away. Jiang Zhaoyue took a deep breath and clenched the sharp metal hairpin in her hand. When the first human-faced spider pounced on her, she barely dodged it by brushing past its legs and stabbed the end of the hairpin into the spider's eyes.
The eight legs of the human-faced spider trembled violently, but Jiang Zhaoyue held it firmly in place. The sharp end of the hairpin pierced deeply into its brain until there was no movement at all.
Seeing this, the other human-faced spiders not only did not retreat, but pounced on them even faster.
Jiang Zhaoyue pulled out her hairpin, dodged the stabbing spider legs, pounced on another human-faced spider, and used the same method to deal with another one.
Luo Huaiyin was not idle either, but Senior Brother Luo was even worse off than her. He couldn't open the storage ring and had no weapons. He fought the enemy with his bare hands and was chased by several human-faced spiders and had to flee everywhere. Fortunately, he picked up a branch in the end. Maybe it was intentional by the owner of the secret realm, but the end of the branch was hard and sharp, so it could barely be considered a weapon.
With these two simple 'weapons', the two killed more than ten spiders, and finally saw the other spiders retreat quickly, just like when they came.
The light in the sky gradually dimmed, as if transitioning from day to night.
There are changes in the secret realm, indicating that killing the human-faced spider is the correct way.
However, both of them had many injuries. Jiang Zhaoyue's most serious injury was on his shoulder blade, which was pierced by a spider leg and he was bleeding profusely.
She gathered some dead grass and branches and started a fire.
He took another stone and smashed the beautifully carved head of the hairpin in his hand into a flat piece, then put it into the fire to roast.
Jiang Zhaoyue unzipped his collar.
Luo Huaiyin was stunned and subconsciously wanted to look away.
"What are you doing..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Zhaoyue wrapped his palm with cloth and took out the hairpin that was roasting in the fire.
She lifted her hair and pressed the thin piece hard on her wound.
The fine sizzling sound makes your scalp tingle.
Luo Huaiyin paused for a moment before realizing what she was doing.
He opened his mouth and it took him a while to make a sound: "Don't you feel any pain?"
Which kind person stops bleeding like this?
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at him and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Brother, you are afraid of pain."
The corner of Luo Huai's mouth trembled slightly, and he swept across her slightly charred wound. After a while, he let out a light sigh.
"I only asked because you're a woman. Since there's no medicine for the wound right now, this might be a solution."
As he said this, he put the token he was carrying into the fire, and then followed the same method to stop the bleeding from the wound on his abdomen.
But he was obviously not as calm as Jiang Zhaoyue. The moment the token was branded, his expression couldn't help but twist for a moment.
Jiang Zhaoyue gave an indescribable smile, which seemed to be mocking but also seeing through, but she said nothing. While Luo Huaiyin was secretly taking a breath, she dragged the corpse of a human-faced spider to the edge of the fire.
"What are you dragging this thing over here for?"
Luo Huaiyin frowned slightly: "It's so disgusting."
The spider's blood is light green, and its legs are covered with fine hairs, which, combined with the human face pattern, is particularly strange and repulsive.
Jiang Zhaoyue remained calm. He broke the eight legs of the human-faced spider and then roasted them over the fire.
"Roast it."
Luo Huaiyin's voice suddenly rose: "You want to eat this?"
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at his face, her tone still very calm.
"You don't have to eat it."
“…”
Monks can nourish their spiritual energy without eating for a long time, but mortal bodies obviously cannot do that. Moreover, the two of them have consumed a lot of physical energy and are injured. They don’t know what the next test will be like.
Luo Huaiyin was not a complete mysophobe, but the spider legs flowing with green blood were really hard to swallow.
He looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, and after a while he uttered a somewhat dry voice: "You... you are favored by the headmaster, and grew up in the immortal sect with thousands of pampered and loving care..."
He had always been jealous of Jiang Zhaoyue, jealous that she could easily gain the favor of the headmaster, easily become his rival, and be listed as one of the candidates for the headmaster without suffering any hardship, while he had to go through so much hardship only to make wedding dresses for others.
But only now did he realize that he seemed to have never really understood this competitor for the position of leader who had suddenly intervened.
It should be said that no one has ever truly understood her, and no one knows what kind of person the real Jiang Zhaoyue is.
"oh."
Jiang Zhaoyue had no interest in him, so she didn't plan to put any thought into him, and therefore didn't care what he thought.
Seeing that the spider legs were almost roasted, he took one off, cut open the hard shell with the tip of a hairpin, and ate the slightly green spider leg meat without any burden.
Not eating the spider brain raw was already enough for her to do justice to Luo Huaiyin.
Even the system couldn't help but retched in her mind, "Host, this is a bit too advanced. Even if you are really hungry..."
"If I'm really hungry, I can just cut off Luo Huaiyin's flesh and eat it. Why would I bother with so much trouble?"
“…”
The overly calm tone made it difficult for the system to tell whether she was joking or serious, but remembering how she provoked Fu Lanting that day, it felt it was better not to ask any more questions.
I don’t know if her calm mood infected Luo Huaiyin.
Senior Brother Luo, who had just spoken frankly about being disgusted, after a brief silence and a long stare, also quietly dragged a human-faced spider over.
Compared to Jiang Zhaoyue's slow chewing, Luo Huaiyin almost swallowed the food whole, stuffing it into his mouth with his eyes closed. He probably didn't even taste it.
When the bonfire was about to burn out, the dark sky suddenly turned bright, and a 'new day' arrived.
A green gale flowed down from the sky like a stream, flowing towards the two people sitting on the ground.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Zhaoyue and Luo Huaiyin ran away.
The strong wind that can cut through space is so powerful that even mortals with advanced skills would be wary of it, for anyone cut by it would die.
Because of the injury, his speed was slower than before, and in a few blinks of an eye, the green streak was not far behind him.
Luo Huaiyin turned his head to glance at Jiang Zhaoyue, who was half a step slower than him, and finally reached out his hand.
"Junior sister."
Jiang Zhaoyue grabbed his hand and threw him back before he could hold it tightly.
Luo Huaiyin was almost thrown into the green gust of wind. Half of his clothes were cut into powder, and the green color brushed past his arm and fell behind him.
Perhaps it was the motivation inspired by the life-and-death crisis that allowed him to exert his maximum speed to escape from the range of the strong wind.
"I just wanted to pull you up out of kindness!"
Jiang Zhaoyue breathed calmly to maintain his strength, and just glanced at him while he was speaking. His eyes were a little puzzled, but there was no guilt at all.
Luo Huaiyin gritted his teeth.
It was a rare time in his life when he had good intentions. He thought that they had been through life and death together, but in the end, the other party just wanted to use him as a scapegoat.
Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes even clearly said: What are you thinking?
After the experience from last time, you are still rushing to take the blame. What are you thinking?
The author has something to say:

Luo Huaiyin: Do you have a heart?
Jiang Zhaoyue: Okay, okay...go to hell.
Luo Huaiyin:?
