Zhang Mu hurried back along the same route. The thick fog must have been caused by the giant ginseng. In order to make Zhang Mu leave quickly, the thick fog actually shrank into a ball and retracted.
He saw the road clearly, drove straight at full speed, and rushed towards the village with the help of the faintly visible starlight.
The long journey here was now completed in a flash as Zhang Mu drove at full speed.
The fragrance in the air gradually faded. Without the neutralizing part, Zhang Mu's mind, blown by the cold wind, suddenly became clear.
Only now did he realize that in order to stay sane, he had bitten the tip of his tongue until it bled. The faint fishy smell reminded him that all this was real.
Looking at both sides of the road, there were still lanterns hanging high in front of every door, swaying in the wind, as if waiting for Zhang Mu to come back.
A strong sense of uneasiness enveloped Zhang Mu's heart. The power of the poison was so great that even Zhang Mu himself could not bear it. He also didn't know whether the healing energy in Yuan Rui's body could dissolve it.
The poison was made up of two parts, and it was very likely that her body would not have noticed it until a second before it took effect.
Even though the obsidian worms and mutant wolfhounds were protecting Yuan Rui, he still didn't feel much at ease, and instead quickened his pace.
Zhang Mu suddenly realized the difference between this village and the one just now.
It’s so quiet!
Even the sounds of children playing and adults walking around disappeared, and the road became unusually empty.
Zhang Mu's memory was very clear. He remembered clearly which fork in the road to turn and which yard was Li Dawei's home.
When he reached the front of the courtyard, Zhang Mu kicked the door open, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
He immediately saw the mutant wolfhound sleeping soundly on the ground and the obsidian worm that sensed his presence and stayed in the air. Zhang Mu felt relieved.
Zhang Mu then shouted loudly, and the mutant wolfhound suddenly woke up from its sweet dream. It shook its fur and stood up straight, looking around. It barked a few times, and only became quiet after seeing that it was Zhang Mu. It came to Zhang Mu and tried to please him.
However, Zhang Mu was not in the mood to play with the mutant wolfhound. He patted its head and signaled it to move aside.
The obsidian bug looked at Zhang Mu with some confusion and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? I thought there would be some time left, so I let the dead dog sleep first."
Zhang Mu stared at the obsidian worm and sent a message through the mental connection, "When I was not here just now, was there anything unusual?"
The obsidian worm was silent for a while, then replied, "Nothing happened just now, it was just a short period of time."
This shouldn’t be the case. Could it be that the giant ginseng is deceiving itself?
Zhang Mu, who was somewhat puzzled, asked again, "Really not?"
Seeing the serious expression on Zhang Mu's face, Obsidian Worm recalled it seriously this time.
After a long while, it seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "If there is really something strange.
That is, there was occasional noise outside just now, but it gradually became quiet soon after you left. But I don’t know your human habits, so I didn’t think it was strange. "
Did the Obsidian Worm also notice this? It happened shortly after I left. It seems that there is really something fishy about this Li Village.
Zhang Mu suddenly asked, "Where is Yuan Rui? She is here now, right?"
The obsidian bug looked at Zhang Mu with a strange look in his eyes and said slowly, "Of course she is in this room. After you left, she came out to accompany me."
The two played for a while, then said they were a little tired, and went to rest in the house arranged by the human for them.
I could feel her stable breath, and I saw that nothing was wrong. "
As he spoke, the Obsidian Bug seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhang Mu's worry.
Is everything ok? That's good.
"But the human woman just left the house. I don't know why, but after she left, the smell of rotting soil didn't become as strong."
Zhang Mu suddenly realized that the key to the matter lies in the sentence added by the obsidian worm.
Before, he thought that the smell of dirt on Li Dawei and his group was just because they hadn't taken a bath for a long time, but now, it seems that things are not that simple.
Zhang Mu walked into the guest room where Yuan Rui was resting, and after opening the door, he saw Yuan Rui sleeping soundly under the dim oil lamp in the room, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he got closer, he suddenly found a note next to Yuan Rui's pillow. He bent over to pick it up and looked at it in the dim light.
“Human, I never thought I could catch a big fish like you that slipped through my hook.
This time, I won. "
Did you win this time? What about last time?
Zhang Mu suddenly thought of a figure that was about to fade away from his mind, and his eyes gradually became serious.
Is it him?
The man who was resurrected from the grave by the evolutionary ripples?
I remember he was also an agent of Jiyuan.
His name is Muxue?
Zhang Mu thought of the spiritual evolver who escaped from his hands. He hadn't seen him for half a year, and he unexpectedly met him here.
Why didn't he do it?
Is this note a provocation to me?
