Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

Jiang Huaiyu didn't know what a human gu was.

He saw that everyone in those people was mentioning that word.

However, it's not hard to imagine that human poison is not a good thing.

What good can turn a person into a monster?

......

Jiang Huaiyu had been using his abilities to evade the monsters, but now his available spiritual energy was running out, making it difficult for him to continue exploring the outside environment over a wide area.

He could only sit on the ground, panting, trying to regain his strength.

Fortunately, the pain in his shoulder kept him alert enough, otherwise he would have passed out by now. His whole body felt like it had been dismantled, and he would faint if he took another step.

In this dire situation, he also had to be wary of the monsters that were searching for him.

"Thorn-"

From the corner of the dimly lit room, a sharp, screeching sound came from the wall. The sound was not far away and was getting closer.

"Thorn-"

“刺啦啦——”

Jiang Huaiyu's heart jumped into his throat, and he turned his head to stare in the direction from which the sound came.

"Thorn-"

He felt the sound scraping against the wall behind him, along with a series of thuds, as if something was scratching the wall with its fingernails and then furiously pounding it twice.

In such a gloomy and terrifying environment, even with Jiang Huaiyu's strong mental fortitude, he couldn't help but panic.

Just then, he heard a faint hissing sound.

"!!!"

Those are the monsters!

We're almost there.

The monster must have a very keen sense of smell and has already found where he is hiding. It is unknown whether the smell of blood is what led him to be tracked.

Fortunately, judging from the sound, there weren't many of them.

How many...?

He wasn't sure...

But things didn't go as he expected. After sniffing the air and hissing twice, the monster began to roar without warning.

It's like summoning a companion.

In an instant, the ground trembled, and countless monsters leaped in from all directions.

Jiang Huaiyu... was surrounded...

A chill ran through Jiang Huaiyu's heart. He knew he couldn't escape. The light in his eyes went out, as if he had given up struggling and accepted the fact that he would die.

The only regret is that he didn't take the information he obtained out with him... and... I don't know what happened to his companions.

He seemed to have all his strength drained away, leaning weakly against the wall, muttering softly, "There's no chance anymore..."

"What do you mean there's no chance?"

A furry head suddenly popped out of a hole in the wall, startling Jiang Huaiyu so much that he instinctively shivered.

He struggled to lift his heavy eyelids. The head swayed back and forth in front of him, splitting into several blurry images, but he still managed to make out the person.

"Miss Liang!"

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Huaiyu's eyes. He endured the pain, propped up his leaden legs, and staggered to the broken wall.

"You, why are you here?"

The despair in his voice was no longer there at the beginning.

"Are you ok?"

Jing Li glanced at him casually.

Jiang Huaiyu looked constipated, “…”

Oh no, if he looks like this, nobody will see him and ask him if he's alright...

However, Jing Li still had to give Miss Liang face by asking such a question.

"F-okay."

Jiang Huaiyu's voice was hoarse and strained, and he was having great difficulty standing, trembling uncontrollably.

"But you look like you're about to die."

Jiang Huaiyu: "......"

You can tell he's about to die, yet you still ask...

After a moment of silence, I comforted myself, thinking that this was just how Miss Liang was, and I shouldn't take her seriously.

Jing Li held a tubular object in her hand and casually flicked it behind Jiang Huaiyu as she spoke.

The monster vanished in an instant, without even letting out a final scream of death.

He didn't know what Jing Li was doing swinging the stick. At that moment, he was in a daze and completely unaware of the danger behind him.

With only a forced, awkward smile, he said with difficulty, "Miss Liang, please excuse my poor manners."

“There are monsters all over here. How did Miss Liang find me, and in the opposite direction from the Black Sand?”

"You still have the mind to ask this?"

Jingli crossed her arms and looked at him with a leisurely air.

Jiang Huaiyu paused, then lost all energy to speak.

"..."

Talking to Miss Liang will shorten your lifespan by ten years... How could an ordinary person possibly guess what she's thinking...?

"Since I asked you to do this, I won't let anything happen to you. Let's go."

Jing Li spoke in a cool and aloof tone, as if she were only doing something to accomplish something. Then she turned her back and took the lead in walking forward.

Jiang Huaiyu knew that Miss Liang had already done more than enough to come and save him.

They dared not make any other demands.

Miss Liang doesn't seem to be an easy person to talk to.

Their original mission was to go to the Black Sands. Even if Miss Liang hadn't made a deal with them to rescue people, they would still have gone there.

He could only muster his last bit of strength, dragging his leaden legs, trying to keep up with Jing Li's figure ahead.

He knew that if he didn't fight back, he would really die here.

He looked at the girl in front of him; her slender figure seemed as if it would shatter with a gentle touch, yet the aura around her gave him a great sense of security.

It also makes people feel indifferent and distant.

Miss Liang, I won't... meddle in other people's business.

If he hadn't kept up with her, perhaps she wouldn't have turned back.

Jiang Huaiyu's head and body grew heavy without him realizing it, and he could only try to pinch his wounds to try and clear his head.

His face contorted in pain, and he gritted his teeth, desperately trying to suppress the sounds of his agony.

"You don't need to be so hard on yourself, do you?"

The girl in front of him suddenly stopped, and Jiang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, feeling ashamed that someone had seen his embarrassing moment.

This made his mind much clearer.

"Forehead."

Jiang Huaiyu smiled wryly, with a sudden sense of relief and nonchalance, "Miss Liang, I guess I won't be able to walk anymore."

His mental focus was entirely on his own body, and he was completely unaware of how long they had traveled and had not encountered a single monster.

Those monsters seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Oh fine."

Jing Li replied calmly, "Do you want to rest?"

His eyes held a mixture of seriousness and casualness.

Jiang Huaiyu was taken aback, his heart skipped a beat. Miss Liang, what does this mean?

Jingli: "Do you still have your phone? Call your companion to come pick you up."

Jiang Huaiyu shook his head dejectedly, "I lost it when I ran away."

"Tsk."

He looked up and saw the girl's impatient expression.

Jiang Huaiyu's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

To preserve his last shred of dignity, he looked embarrassed and stammered, "Miss Liang, you, you should go first..."

The last words were left unsaid; who wants to die?

Speaking it out means giving up your only hope of survival.

When people are about to die, they often cling desperately to the only hope of survival.

He kept his head down, his mouth opening and closing, but he never dared to look up.

After a while, he felt that there was no sound around him, and the girl's presence in front of him had disappeared.
