Chapter 37
While the werewolves went to the mountaintop, Xi Miao climbed over the wall and entered several more houses.
But no other wolf cubs could be found.
Her plan to send the wolf cubs home in exchange for a treasure chest failed.
However, the journey into the forest at night went exceptionally smoothly. Along the way, we saw many medicinal plants, including two ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms.
Unfortunately, Xi Miao was a complete novice when it came to traditional Chinese medicine. She only knew a few kinds and had no idea about the prescriptions.
This stuff can't be eaten indiscriminately; incorrect dosage or cooking method can easily cause problems.
At most, she could only cut off a slice of ginseng and hold it under her tongue to keep herself alive in times of crisis.
After a night, Xi Miao went to the agreed location to meet the two.
Hui Zi had arrived, and there was a burlap sack next to him, which was wriggling. Xi Miao knew who was inside, but she was in no hurry to open it and ask him.
"Xiao Yong hasn't arrived yet?"
Hui Zi wasn't quite used to the name Xiao Yong, and paused for half a second before saying, "I ran into him last night. He seemed to have found something and said he would be coming later."
In fact, the little warrior wasn't late for long; he arrived a few minutes later, panting.
"No rush," Xi Miao said to him, reaching out to open the sack, revealing Ximen Qing, who was tightly bound and gagged inside.
Upon seeing the three men, Ximen Qing felt a great sense of panic, knowing that something was wrong.
He couldn't speak, he just kept nodding.
Hui Zi chuckled immediately, "This kid's begging for mercy!"
Unfortunately, he lacks compassion and is destined not to spare Ximen Qing today.
On the way to capture Ximen Qing last night, Hui Zi suffered a lot, and his arm, which was still hidden in his sleeve, was still aching.
In terms of strength, Ximen Qing was no match, but he was cunning and used despicable methods. Hui Zi used all his abilities and almost lost to Ximen Qing, but finally turned the tables by using a certain tool.
Hui Zi pulled out the large wad of soft cloth stuffed in his mouth. "Do you have any last words?"
"You can't kill me! I... I have the key to the inn. If you let me go, I'll give it to you so you can hide in the inn and rest. I'll also give you all the items I have!"
Ximen Qing considered everything he owned and tried his best to persuade the men to change their minds.
Unfortunately, what he said held no appeal for them whatsoever.
Xi Miao waited quietly until he finished speaking, "That's all?"
Ximen Qing could tell that she was not moved, and knowing he was about to die, he was covered in cold sweat and his expression was vicious.
"If I had known you were such a wicked woman, I should have killed you the first day I saw you, and then thrown your body into the forest to rot and be eaten by animals!"
Xi Miao laughed out loud after being scolded by him.
"Give them more scolding."
Ximen Qing was puzzled and wanted to vent all his malice, but before he could scold the other two, he felt a pain in his throat and could no longer speak.
He fell backward and saw a headless corpse convulsing.
He only realized it was his body when his head hit the ground hard.
Then he closed his eyes and died completely.
Xi Miao shook the blood off her knife, while the other two had mixed feelings on their faces but showed no remorse.
“If we don’t kill this kind of villain today, he will surely become a disaster.”
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark." Hui Zi nodded. "I already had the intention to kill him when I fought him last night. Thank you, Sister Xi. Now I can finally put my mind at ease."
He had never killed anyone before. On the way back, he thought about taking action many times, but he never managed to do it.
Seeing that Ximen Qing had died so easily, I felt a sense of relief.
Xi Miao understood that if she hadn't killed someone in a precognitive dream, she probably wouldn't have been able to do it now.
She changed the subject at the right moment, "We can stay for another two days. Are you all able to find the direction of the train?"
The little warrior nodded. "I remember the way."
Hui Zi then pulled out a car pin that looked similar to the one hanging around Xi Miao's neck. "I have this. It can help me find the car."
"That's good. Let's part ways here. How much resources you find in the next two days depends on your own abilities. I wish you both a fruitful journey."
With a smile on her face, Xi Miao walked forward, and the two unconsciously followed her, talking as they walked. They were now far away from Ximen Qing's corpse.
Hui Zi added Xi Miao as a friend, sighing inwardly.
I thought Xi Xi Xi was just lucky to become famous on the public screen, but now it seems that Sister Xi is really capable. It's lucky that they met her at this stop.
After parting ways with the two, Xi Miao turned and walked into the werewolf village.
She also wanted to try bringing the villagers to the wolves to see if she could get a treasure chest.
Infiltrating the village was much more difficult than before. The villagers became more vigilant, gathered together, and even when resting, they would go in groups of two or three. If they encountered a player, they would kill them without hesitation.
Xi Miao has used up her invisibility items and is now just a hairpin, making it very difficult for her to avoid other people and catch lone villagers.
She lay in ambush all day, calculated the time, and realized she could only stay at this station for ten hours, so she decided to take the risk.
At this moment, Marissa, who had fallen into the players' hands, got a chance and escaped.
Logically, she should have no chance of getting out of the birdcage, but the female player who owned the birdcage was thin and weighed less than 90 pounds. She was discovered by the villagers of the werewolf village while searching for treasure chests in the forest.
With just one punch and one claw, the female player was killed on the spot.
They didn't even leave behind a body; it was divided up on the spot by several people.
After the player dies, the items she didn't put in her backpack become unclaimed.
The birdcage hanging from her waist was several times larger, and the lock opened automatically, releasing Marissa, who had been imprisoned there.
Upon seeing the villagers, Marissa burst into tears.
"It was all done by those outsiders. The two brothers who died must have been killed by the woman staying at my shop!"
Being imprisoned confirmed Marissa's suspicions. The first thing she did after being released was to tell the other villagers about Xi Miao's appearance and ask them to catch her and kill her to avenge her brother.
No matter how much you hate Marissa, she's still part of the village.
The other werewolves, naturally united in their hatred, quickly followed the clues she gave them to find Xi Miao.
Marissa, who was left in the woods, ate something and walked at the very back, leaning against a tree.
She wanted to go back to the inn, so she didn't take the same route as the companions who had rescued her. Instead, she arranged to meet them in the village later.
Marissa walked down a deserted road and saw a headless corpse lying on the ground in the distance. Judging from the clothes and appearance, her heart skipped a beat.
It's that big-assed lover she's recently set her sights on!
It must be said that Ximen Qing had some experience in serving people. However, after spending a few days together, Marissa had become somewhat fond of him. Now, seeing him lying dead in the wilderness, his body decaying and being eaten by wild animals, she felt an indescribable heartache.
"Qing, don't worry, I'll definitely catch that little bitch and avenge you!"
After spending a day in the werewolf village and returning empty-handed, Xi Miao happened to overhear this poisonous oath.
Upon closer inspection, Marissa was all alone, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
For those who are alone, this is a perfect opportunity delivered right to their doorstep.
