was bitten. I and Jiang Qiyun brought the peach wood box to Wuhwang City.We appeared on the platform of Muwanchen Palace. There was no one in the palace, only the sound of long, echoing horns.On the...I understand the feelings of anxiety after a natural disaster.
But the people of these Wuzhi Mountain cities didn't understand. They were accustomed to a state of "anarchy." In their view, no one but their own king would care about their life and death.
So, as soon as I saw the supplies, I couldn't help but reach out and grab them.
I pushed through the crowd and ran to the back to see what was going on.
These houses are old-fashioned, with two or three-story buildings close together, lining both sides of the riverbank.
Someone came up with a way to light torches. I saw smoke billowing from the doorway of a house, where a golden silkworm gu and a palace guardian gu were fighting fiercely.
Come on, to grab a house to live in, they even released their own natal gu!
This time it's not just about grabbing resources, it's a straight-up fight to the death.
"Stop it! You're fighting right after arriving Isn't that disgraceful You claim to have inherited the elegance and decorum of our predecessors, but I see you as nothing more than a bunch of ignorant and foolish country bumpkins! What are you fighting over anyway These things aren't yours! They were lent to us! A little bit of self-awareness wouldn't hurt!"
I roared, "This is Miao Wang City, the residence of Prince Miao. You have a roof over your heads thanks to Miao Wang's generous help. If anyone dares to seize the city's wealth, don't blame me for being ruthless! I'll throw you all into the chaotic borderlands between yin and yang, where you'll be unable to live or die!"
“ The people around me took a step back, as if they were frightened by me.
I think they were frightened by the Yin-Yang Chaos. After all, the chaotic mist and smog on both sides of the bluestone path involuntarily instilled fear in one's heart.
"I asked you guys to choose a team leader and captains before, did you pick them! Captains bring your teams to the dock to report your numbers! Now go count yourselves quickly!"
I let out a roar and turned to walk onto the placid dock, plopping down on a stone pier where boats were tied up. I sat there, fuming, waiting for these "savages."
"Xiao Yinluo, you're quite fierce..." The junior wife looked at me in disbelief: "I thought you were a gentle girl. After all, Mu Wanchen doesn't like to talk much, and a gentle and considerate girl might be able to make him let down his guard... But I see he seems to like this about you."
I'm not sure if he buys what I'm selling, but I definitely buy what he's selling.
Gentle yet silent, affectionate but aloof.
Just as I was counting heads and assigning temporary housing, a leaf boat silently glided into the Dharma gate.
Long Xiaoge stood by the bed, wearing my ninth senior brother's Givenchy T-shirt and casual jeans, with an unknown senior brother's discarded down jacket on the outside.
Don't ask me why I know that's Ji Fanxi from the Ninth Senior Brother, because that big dog head emblem is too obvious. The Ninth Senior Brother wore it once himself and almost got laughed to death by his senior sisters.
It seems he generously gave his unwearable T-shirt to Long Xiaoge.
Long Xiaoge's temperament is actually quite suitable for this T-shirt. His cold and gloomy aura makes even that big dog head look pretty stylish.
He lightly jumped onto the pier, his voice raspy as he asked me, "Hey, those women outside, are they your people too"
"What woman" I didn't react for a moment.
Long Xiao frowned and said, “They claimed they were sent to Jisha Mountain by the Witch Queen's orders, but somehow lost consciousness. They woke up here in a daze... They also mentioned a female leader who led them out of the Chaos Labyrinth…”
What a chaotic maze, is it Should I say it's a back alley
The little wife nudged me, whispering, "Are they from the witch tribe Didn't you have someone summon them to meet at Mount Jǐshì"
"Oh oh oh, yes yes!" I hurriedly said to Brother Long, "It should be the people from the Si clan! They're a group! Let's bring them in too..."
Long Xiaoge nodded, signaling to the boatman behind him. The boatman obediently steered the boat out of the legal gate to pick up the Si Clan people.
There are indeed many houses here, built along both sides of the river.
Numerous and closely connected.
But…
I don't know how to say this, these houses are full of dust, and there are only basic household items. There isn't even any rice or noodles.
However, having a roof over one's head and a stove to boil water is already quite good.
Long Xiaogē went to his city—the fortress that was built on the mountains in the distance.
Soon soldiers brought in rice and flour. After toiling all night, I smelled the aroma of congee and steamed buns.
Goo goo...
It was only then that I realized how hungry I was. I couldn't even remember the last time I had eaten.
I don't know if it was the venomous insects at work, but as soon as I felt a pang of hunger, my stomach started aching. My junior wife handed me a steamed bun, and after two bites, the pain intensified.
"Wow, you wouldn't happen to have acute gastroenteritis, would you You certainly can't be sick right now!" She anxiously raised her head, looking around for Lianlong the doctor.
But Lian Long was the busiest person of all, tirelessly treating the wounded.
Just as we breathed a sigh of relief, someone died.
He didn't die from his wounds, but was killed by a gu corpse. His neck was mangled, bitten clean through on one side.
Such a gruesome death sent everyone who had just calmed down into a frenzy. One by one, they nervously guarded their allocated houses, afraid to close their eyes.
It must be the venomous corpses scattered on Mount Ji, falling indiscriminately... This means... could it be that the Dragon King has infiltrated as well
"Ahh——!!" Even before dawn had broken, a terrifying scream ripped through the night from beyond the mountain.
I ordered all squad leaders to organize their members to protect the elderly, weak, and women of our group. Then I organized a team of young and middle-aged people to patrol around.
Si Huang's clansmen boarded the boats one after another and arrived at the dock. I left my junior wife to organize their accommodation and rushed out with people to search.
As dawn approached, the indigo sky gradually dimmed with the fading stars and moon. A glimmer of light emerged on the horizon.
Under such circumstances, I also grew bolder. We found a victim, an elderly woman who was living alone. She was attacked when she went to the back of her house to use the toilet.
This week, the residents of several houses nearby were so frightened that they dared not leave their homes. We followed the mountain trail, searching for clues along the way.
"It should be this way, there's a smell of blood here." I pointed towards the direction of the forest.
"Little princess, do you have a dog's nose…" a young man asked in a low voice.
I glared at him, clutching the cane in my hand—yes, a cane.
It was taken from that old woman elder who always disagreed with me, convenient for climbing mountains.
As we walked into the thick forest, the stench grew stronger...
I was mentally prepared. With a command, my young men pulled on the rope. The corpse had been poisoned and animated in life, and though dead, its body was not yet stiff. It possessed immense strength and deadly venom; one couldn't simply rush in and grab it.
"Ah…chuckle, chuckle…"
A faint sound reached my ears, like the creaking of bones turning stiff.
I turned my head to signal the older tough guy who was following me, but when I looked back, a body suddenly leaped out of the bushes in front of me!
This is a shriveled corpse, its eye sockets are just two black holes. Its skin is a dark brown color, emanating an indescribable stench!
"Ahhh!!!" The bunch of trash were actually scared stiff!
What the heck!
Don't push me to swear! These guys are actually louder than me. going to wade into this muddy waterThis woman heard the little mistress say this, revealing a hint of joy. She probably also knew the reputation of the Shen family in the circle. With the little mist...
