This spider silk is actually tougher than the previous one!
At this time, she turned around and could already see the people gathering around her from behind.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao was completely dumbfounded.
This was because all the people who gathered around had no ears, were wearing black clothes, had two broken fingers, and even had the same bloody holes on their faces.
But she clearly only stabbed one person, so why did all these people look like this, as if they were cast from the same mold?
Fear crawled up Gu Xiaoxiao's back like a caterpillar, and Gu Xiaoxiao felt a chill running through her bones.
The person in front of me doesn't know pain at all. I can't kill her, and she's getting more and more. Is she going to die here too?
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao immediately gritted her teeth and chopped at the spider silk on her feet, but the sword tip was broken and she still couldn't cut it off completely.
At this time, the three women in black at the back all opened their mouths, their throats moving and making bursts of "uh uh" sounds.
Gu Xiaoxiao knew that this was a sign that they were about to spin silk.
If there were a few more silk threads, she would definitely be trapped to death here.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Xiaoxiao had a flash of inspiration, suddenly jumped up, and swung out a fierce sword.
The woman's mouth, which was spitting silk, was suddenly cut open completely, and blood splattered like rain.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, stabbed a sword into the other person's mouth, and then twisted it.
There was only a creepy sound of flesh and blood breaking, and the spider silk with a piece of tongue suddenly slipped out of the other person's mouth. Gu Xiaoxiao's feet loosened and she immediately started running wildly.
Even though half of her body was still stuck in the spider silk, she was still running very fast, as could be seen from the tongue behind her heel that seemed to be about to fly up.
But no matter how fast Gu Xiaoxiao ran, the sound of footsteps in the jungle behind her never disappeared, following her like a leech on her tarsal bones.
Just when Gu Xiaoxiao felt like her lungs were about to burst, a voice suddenly rang out from the right—"This way!"
At this juncture, Gu Xiaoxiao no longer had the energy to worry about whether it was a trap, and rushed forward.
It was a slope covered with moss, and at the bottom of the slope stood a ragged female beggar.
"Come down quickly!" said the female beggar anxiously.
Gu Xiaoxiao slid down without any hesitation.
Gu Xiaoxiao has developed well these days. Her buttocks, which are already quite upturned, slide across the moss like snot, which is a bit disgusting, but also the most labor-saving.
Gu Xiaoxiao had just slid to the bottom of the slope when the female beggar pulled her up and ran with her inside.
At this time, the earless women behind them sped up, so that the footsteps in the ears of the two men became closer and more frequent.
Below the slope is an abandoned stone road. Moss and vines have covered most of the stone slabs, making it look quite old.
Gu Xiaoxiao now has no energy to observe these things. She is running, running as hard as she can.
The scenery along the way flashed past her eyes like a phantom.
At first, it was the female beggar who pulled Gu Xiaoxiao to run, but later, it was Gu Xiaoxiao who pulled the other person to run.
I have to admit that Gu Xiaoxiao is very talented in running.
The stone path soon came to an end, and what appeared before their eyes was a half-collapsed stone house.
"Go in!" the female beggar said while panting, and rushed in with Gu Xiaoxiao.
Almost at the same time, two dark shadows rushed down from behind, but stopped when they approached the door of the house.
They stood outside the building, staring blankly ahead, like dead objects.
All of them had their tongues and two fingers cut off, a bloody hole on their faces, and a bloody line hanging from their necks. They looked extremely hideous and terrifying.
At this time, the last ray of sunset also disappeared at the end of the jungle...
Night is coming.
Chapter 21 Two Smiling Faces
The moment they rushed into the house, Gu Xiaoxiao and the female beggar fell to the ground and didn't want to move.
Their chests heaved violently like shaking waves, and they had no energy left to speak.
Even if those things could come in now, neither of them had any intention of moving.
"Let me die." This is the thought in Gu Xiaoxiao's mind now.
People have limits, and that's the case with her now.
Gu Xiaoxiao coughed so violently that she felt like her lungs were about to fly out. Her mind went blank and the whole world seemed to be in darkness.
After a long time, when it was pitch black outside, Gu Xiaoxiao finally struggled to sit up.
The spider silk was still stuck to her body. Although it had softened a little, it was still very uncomfortable.
Gu Xiaoxiao tried to tear these things off, but found that it didn't work.
These spider silks are too sticky. If she tries to pull them off forcibly, she might really lose some skin.
At this time, a little candlelight appeared in the darkness, illuminating the face of the female beggar.
The beggar woman was holding an oil lamp and asked in confusion, "Can't you tear it off?"
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "It's okay, just think of it as wearing an extra layer of clothing. By the way, thank you for saving my life. May I ask your name?"
The female beggar waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Just call me Zhu Qiaoqiao."
Hearing the name "Zhu Qiaoqiao", Gu Xiaoxiao felt that it sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, so she said, "My name is a bit similar to yours. My name is Gu Xiaoxiao. Miss Zhu, how did you find this place?"
As she spoke, Gu Xiaoxiao looked around and found that it was an abandoned temple.
Half of the temple had collapsed, and only half of the Buddha statue was left. The ground was covered with dead leaves, and it looked a bit eerie under the light of the oil lamp.
Zhu Qiaoqiao brushed off the dirt on her body and said, "I accidentally entered this forest and was chased here by a strange woman without ears. Then I found that as long as I was here, those strange people would not dare to come in. I wanted to go out and explore the way today, but I met you."
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and found that although the female beggar was a little dirty, her skin was very nice, white and tender. Especially when her clothes were tattered, she looked quite seductive.
Beggars these days are exposed to the wind and sun, and there are not many beggars with skin like hers.
Gu Xiaoxiao had heard some rumors from Lu Hongling that some men appeared reserved on the surface. After all, they were going to get married and had to be reserved. In fact, they were very hungry in secret and thought about women every day.
Many good-looking female beggars suffered. It is said that a female beggar fell drunk on the street and was raped more than ten times by two or three good-looking rich young men. It was a complete moral degradation.
As a result, after the story spread, a series of "drunk" female beggars appeared on the street the next night.
In Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Zhu Qiaoqiao in front of her was probably the type who was drunk and wanted to be forced.
After noticing that Gu Xiaoxiao was looking at her chest, Zhu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but straighten her torn clothes and said awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I really don't have a single decent piece of clothing."
Gu Xiaoxiao originally had some spare clothes, but she lost them when she fled. She couldn't help but shook her head and said, "I don't think the young lady looks like a beggar."
Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Life is unpredictable. I never thought I would end up in such a state."
After hearing Zhu Qiaoqiao say this, Gu Xiaoxiao felt that the other person must be someone with a story.
A rich lady who fell into poverty and became a beggar must have experienced many ups and downs.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly found that the spider silk on her body was a little loose, and she couldn't help but let out a surprised "Huh?"
Seeing this, Zhu Qiaoqiao walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The closer Zhu Qiaoqiao got, the faster the spider silk loosened, and some even fell to the ground.
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but wonder, "Are these spider silks afraid of you?"
"Are you afraid of me?" Zhu Qiaoqiao looked puzzled.
"Please lend me the oil lamp." Gu Xiaoxiao said.
"Okay." Zhu Qiaoqiao handed over the oil lamp.
As soon as Gu Xiaoxiao took the oil lamp, the spider silk fell to the ground.
Zhu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but say, "It turns out they're not afraid of me, they're afraid of fire."
Gu Xiaoxiao took a look at the oil lamp and found some white sticky stuff inside, like some kind of animal fat. She couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhu, where did this oil lamp come from?"
Zhu Qiaoqiao pointed to the half-broken Buddha statue in front and said, "Where did you get it from? I also found it strange when I first came here. This temple has clearly been abandoned for a long time, but the oil lamps are still working."
Gu Xiaoxiao stretched her muscles and felt severe pain all over her body. She asked, "Miss Zhu, do you have any other findings?"
Zhu Qiaoqiao shook her head and pointed to the back. "There's still space behind this temple, but I didn't go in because I was afraid of a landslide. As for those weirdos outside, they only become more active after the full moon."
"After the full moon night?" Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, thinking about something.
During this time, she observed the surrounding situation while observing Zhu Qiaoqiao.
There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on Zhu Qiaoqiao's body, proving that she was not a cultivator, but judging from her behavior, she did not seem to know anything.
The other party was very calm, as if he was used to such emergencies.
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel that Zhu Qiaoqiao in front of her was really interesting.
Gu Xiaoxiao held the oil lamp and moved closer to the tilted temple gate, and found five people standing outside.
Of course she knew these five people, they were the same kind of silk spinners who had just pursued her.
In the dark environment, the five people had bloody holes on their faces and their mouths were torn open, looking particularly terrifying.
These people standing there together gave a strong sense of oppression. Even though she knew they couldn't come in, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a chill down her spine.
On the other hand, Zhu Qiaoqiao, who had obviously never practiced spiritual cultivation, lit another oil lamp and seemed very calm.
We have to admit that human emotions are contagious. One person's panic can easily trigger panic among another group of people. If one person remains calm, it will correspondingly alleviate a lot of negative emotions.
Whether it is Zhu Qiaoqiao or Gu Xiaoxiao, judging from their experience, both of them are far better than their peers.
So when these two women came together, the terrifying atmosphere here was reduced a lot.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but suggest: "Miss Zhu, why don't we go to the back to see the situation, maybe there is another way out?"
Zhu Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Miss Gu, please don't call me Miss. Have you ever seen a young lady wearing such tattered clothes? Just call me Qiaoqiao."
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then Qiaoqiao, don't call me Miss Gu anymore. We've been through thick and thin together. Just call me Xiaoxiao."
"Yeah." Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded.
Thus, in the dim temple, two swaying lights illuminated two young smiling faces, adding a lot of vitality for a moment.
Chapter 22 The Road Ahead
Time is really a magical thing.
Zhu Qiaoqiao never imagined that in just two or three years, she would become so unrecognizable that she herself would hardly recognize herself.
After being crippled by Gu Jiu, Zhu Qiaoqiao experienced an unprecedented dark time. The humiliation she received, like that of an abandoned old dog, almost made her want to go crazy.
And she has been enduring, enduring, just hoping for a turnaround.
Then, a turning point really appeared.
According to the old woman, as long as she finds the tree with roots in the sky in Miaojiang, she will have a chance to be reborn.
However, this wandering life made her see the warmth and coldness of human nature and also eliminated a lot of her hostility.
Especially in that gap, the roujiamo left by Gu Jiu became the most beautiful memory of food in her life.
Zhu Qiaoqiao found that when that person appeared in front of her again, she could no longer hate him.
But she still wanted to see the tree with roots in the sky, because the temptation of new life was too great for her.
Of course, only she herself knows the hardships along the way.
After her meridians were destroyed, she became very fragile and her physical fitness was not even as good as that of ordinary people, but she was still alive.
She has experienced many ups and downs in her life. Her experiences from childhood to adulthood have made her will very strong, and she knows how to survive and fight.
It was with these experiences that she survived in Miaojiang. Along the way, she roasted poisonous snakes, slept in cow sheds, and ate bullfrogs...
To say it was brilliant is no exaggeration.
But when she really approached the strange tree and saw those strange people who had lost their ears, she finally gave up her original purpose.
She wanted to be reborn. After all, it was a particularly sad thing for a cultivator who had once been a powerful figure among his peers to lose his cultivation, especially when he was abandoned by the sect.
But if this new life would cause her to lose herself, or even cease to be a human being, she would rather give it up.
No matter what, she still wants to be a human being.
