Apparently, he drank it all without hesitation, showing his innocence and his trust in women.

In fact, all the milk was smuggled into the space by Zhu Yue.

Seeing Zhu Yue drink up the milk in one gulp, the woman seemed relieved.

The gentle smile that was originally on his face like a mask slowly disappeared.

Zhu Yue pretended to be unaware of the woman's changes.

"Can you tell me more about the wilderness? I know nothing."

Why know so much? You have no future.

The woman thought so, but she thought that it would take some time for the medicine in the milk to take effect, so she decided to chat with the child for a while.

It has been a long time since we have seen such a small piece of fresh flesh and blood in the Death Wilderness.

"Then let me tell you the origin of the Death Wilderness."

The woman's eyes darkened and her tone changed from casual to serious.

"This was originally a private forest of the empire. Yes, that was the most powerful empire. Even one of its forests was as big as a small country. One day, a wizard came to the empire. The emperor had always wanted to prolong his life. The wizard said that she could let the emperor continue to live, and even turn him into a young man. As long as the emperor was willing to share half of the empire's power with her, the emperor agreed."

What a classic example of an emperor obsessed with immortality. Zhu Yue hid the complaints that came to his mind subconsciously and nodded to show that he was listening attentively.

The woman became more talkative. You know, there are only so many people in the wilderness all year round, and she usually has no one to chat with except her husband. And her husband also knew all the things she was talking about now.

It’s rare to satisfy the desire to share.

"This forest farm was given by the emperor to the wizard for him to make medicine. Originally, it was a good place with four seasons of spring, fertile land, and three crops a year. Unfortunately, after the wizard used it to make elixirs for longevity, everything changed. The trees in the forest began to wither overnight, and the land could no longer grow food. And this is only one pill that has been made."

"Does the elixir of life really exist? Aren't wizards just liars?"

Zhu Yue asked this deliberately because she noticed the woman's abnormal enthusiasm when she mentioned wizards, and she did this to stimulate her to say more.

As for the elixir of life, isn’t it just another form of longevity pill?

Zhu Yue had this kind of thing in her space. Although she didn't know how to refine it, she knew it was definitely not the way wizards absorbed things from nature.

The woman's face showed more displeasure, and she looked at Zhu Yue as if he was a fool.

"Don't interrupt me. The medicine is of course real. After the king took it, his gray hair disappeared and he went from seventy to forty. That magic medicine can extend a person's lifespan by at least thirty years."

"That was thirty years ago. After this incident, countless people worshipped the wizard as a god. The emperor even gave the wizard three more forests. He wanted the wizard to continue refining the magic medicine, but at this time the wizard said that the method of refining the second medicine was different from the previous ones. Do you know how to refine the second magic medicine?"

Zhu Yue shook her head in confusion: "I don't know."

The woman snorted with pride. "The wizard said that the second magic medicine requires 100,000 people to voluntarily enter the forest where the magic medicine is refined and offer their flesh and blood to the god. The magic medicine refined in this way can extend life by 100 years."

"The king simply couldn't resist the temptation of a hundred years of life. He deceived his own soldiers, a total of 100,000 people. That day, the blood of the forest farm dyed the land red. From that day on, the forest farm became a deadly wilderness. It's like a forbidden area. No matter who comes here, they can never leave. Every twelve hours, flashbacks will occur in various places in the wilderness. You may be teleported to any place at any time. If you are lucky, it may be where you are now. If you are unlucky, your life will be lost before you can react."

At this point, the woman's voice became even more excited.

"I am so lucky. Unlike those damned people at that time, they died in the hands of the guards before they could come to their senses. Who made them unlucky to catch up with the harvest season?"

Zhu Yue's eyes were filled with confusion. "What is the harvest season?"

The woman looked at her and smiled meaningfully.

"The harvest season is eight days from now. That day will be the full moon of the year. On that day, the resentment of the 100,000 soldiers whose lives and flesh were harvested will appear, and every living person in the wilderness will have to hand in an offering."

Zhu Yue felt from the look in the woman's eyes that the offering she was talking about might be herself.

After seven days, that will be the last day of the copy.

She pretended to know nothing and continued to ask: "What is the offering? What will happen if I don't pay it?"

"No, it doesn't matter if you don't pay. It depends on your willingness."

The woman avoided the question with a smile.

"By the way, how do you feel now?"

Feeling the woman's eyes full of scrutiny, as if she had nothing to fear from her and assumed that a little girl couldn't escape once she got home, the woman's true colors were gradually revealed and she stopped pretending.

Zhu Yue blinked, knowing that the woman asked this question probably because something might have been added to the bowl of milk.

She pretended to be confused. "I don't feel anything."

No matter what the woman's plan was, Zhu Yue would definitely not let her get her wish.

In fact, Zhu Yue was also very curious. The couple looked tall and strong, and it would be easy for them to deal with a child of her size.

Why go to the trouble of putting drugs in milk?

What made them hesitate to do it when she was awake?

She further probed: "Auntie, I'm so hungry, is the meal ready?"

The woman's mouth twitched and she turned around to look at the bowl of milk as if it were a counterfeit or shoddy product.

"I'll go take a look, you stay here for a while."

Zhu Yue sat down on the stone bench obediently. "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

After the woman disappeared, she moved closer to the basin of milk and smelled it, then dipped a drop of it with a silver needle and put it in her mouth to taste it lightly.

Ah, the drug, it’s not the poison she thought it was.

Seeing the malice hidden behind the woman's smile, Zhu Yue even suspected that these two people might be the murderers who committed the murder and dismemberment.

Thinking about it now, Zhu Yue overturned the speculation that they were the murderers. The woman seemed too familiar with this house, so they should be the owners here.

Zhu Yue's eyes flashed. The story the woman had told before was anticlimactic.

She selectively extracted the key information.

She had guessed that the biggest crisis in this copy would be the full moon day on the fifteenth day.

The woman and her husband called this place the Death Wilderness, but the game system's prompts showed that this was the Weird Wilderness.

However, Zhu Yue has been here for seven days.

I haven't seen any weird existence yet.

Toads are at most disgusting animals, and even if there are not too many of them, their lethality is not high.
