Chapter 43 Blood and Roses (Part 9)
He gradually formed a shape that frightened Lu Jifeng.
The wolf slaves had no conscious thinking, and Jiang Cangshu's hypnosis had no effect. The animals summoned by Cui Daoping's magic hat were also useless except for starving them to death.
They had no way to go and were being torn apart by multiple wolf slaves, with their health points dropping rapidly.
Fortunately, when a roar was heard, the werewolves on them all retreated with low growls, as if they were afraid of something.
The "savior" laughed loudly. He blended into the woods and walked quickly. Using vines as hands, he circled four or five werewolves at a time and let them be absorbed by the vines and then dry up.
As more and more wolf slaves were absorbed by him, the speed of the "Savior" crawling on the tree gradually slowed down. The entity formed by the tree hung in the air, rolled up a wolf slave and hung it in front of him, and sniffed it with his nose.
Lu Jifeng knew what he was doing and immediately ran towards the exit.
The "savior" did not catch up, but instead turned his attention to the player hiding under the tree. His body was already visible among the countless trees, and the net-like structure supported him walking on the ground.
The "savior" Huangfu Wang whispered in their ears: "Come with me, kill this world together."
"Escape with me."
Jiang Cangshu ignored Cui Daoping's suspicious look, grabbed a vine branch on his body with his still movable hand, and said sternly: "Then save us!"
Huangfu Wang used rattan branches to treat the two. Their lost limbs were replaced by rattan branches, which had stronger toughness and regeneration than the original ones. Jiang Cangshu moved his arms, and there was no major problem except that he felt strange when moving.
The two did not ask why King Huangfu helped them. They only knew that there was no worse outcome than dying in the Spine Forest.
When Xiang Liangyu rushed over, the spine forest had curled up into a long scroll, and the entrance was blocked by tree branches. No matter how hard he pushed or pulled, it didn't move at all.
She took out the bombs, grabbed a handful, and threw them toward the entrance.
Explosions sounded one after another, and a small hole was created at the entrance.
Quan Shengyan followed behind her: "Maybe the massacre will happen earlier."
Xiang Liangye pushed aside the fallen leaves and asked as he walked: "What do you mean?"
Quan Shengyan stood outside the entrance. He looked at the Aconitum in the grass which had gradually bloomed. The sky above his head seemed to be covered with a curtain. The cloudless day suddenly turned gloomy and took on a mysterious dark blue color.
Xiang Liangyu didn't pay attention to what was happening in the sky or why the flowers were blooming. He could see the players in front of him. The fact that so many of them were still taking action meant that Lu Jifeng must be at a disadvantage.
Quan Shengyan looked at his palms. His nails were growing continuously. Gray hair was growing on his white arms. His ears had pushed his headscarf off.
His stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier, and the moment Xiang Liangye called him, he looked up at her.
The pitch-black pupils turned into vertical pupils, and the color began to lighten, eventually turning gray.
Something was swaying behind his legs, attracting attention. It was a huge tail. Quan Shengyan was getting closer to the wolf form, but there were still three days until the full moon night!
Xiang Liangyu quickly left the woods, and the moment she looked up, she was enveloped in the overwhelming blue. She clearly saw a yellow circular outline emerging in the gradually deepening blue sky.
Full moon! The full moon night has come early!
She quickly pulled Quan Shengyan into the woods and picked a blooming Aconitum and stuffed it into his mouth.
Purple Aconitum was discovered together with the werewolf. The pollen of Aconitum can stimulate the progress of the werewolf's madness, but if consumed in large quantities, it will temporarily curb the madness and thus control his actions.
Seeing Quan Shengyan's eyes regained focus, Xiang Liangyu covered him with a pile of weeds and said, "Don't run around. I'll go save people first."
Quan Shengyan tried to steady his breathing, staring at the gaps between the leaves above his head, and said in a weak voice: "Be careful."
Xiang Liangyu turned into a giant bird, and wherever its wings went, it cut all obstacles in half. Trees fell in half and collided with each other, blocking the smooth flow of the road.
Wu Yun was riding on a broom, and just as she healed Zuo Lie, a huge monster rushed by, killing all the trees around her. Zuo Lie and Wu Yun were crushed under the tree, unable to move.
Zuo Lie struggled to open his eyes from the dust and broken grass. When he saw the familiar bird, he gritted his teeth and cursed.
Wu Yun had her head and neck pressed down by a thick tree, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She wanted Jiang Mingxian to save her, but she couldn't make any sound.
[Player Jiang Mingxian's health has returned to zero, and he has died. ]
Xiang Liangyu swallowed the player that she had picked up, and the slight feeling of fullness made her mood more stable.
【Congratulations to the Forest Guardian for killing the Wolf Hunters (6/10). 】
Xiang Liangyu: "Where are the props?"
System: [The looting items have randomness. 】
Xiang Liangyu made a "tsk" sound. Before, she got a prop for every meal she ate, but now it's suddenly gone, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the box that was exploded was enough for him. If there were any left after rescuing people this time, he would just throw them all into Jianyue Lake.
As she was thinking, a sound of someone running fast came towards her.
A werewolf with a wolf body that still retains slight human features. Judging from his thick fur, it must be Lu Jifeng.
On a full-moon night, a werewolf will turn into a mindless madman, not distinguishing between friend and foe. Xiang Liangyu didn't plan to celebrate her escape from death with him, so she opened her mouth and closed it when Lu Jifeng jumped into her mouth.
Xiang Liangyu: “……!!”
Damn it! He closed his mouth too slowly and swallowed Lu Jifeng himself!
Fang Zi has told us eight times in this world that we cannot eat our colleagues!
Just as Xiang Liangyu was thinking of a solution, a green moving object caught her attention . When she reacted, she found herself entangled by countless vines, tied up and suspended in mid-air.
On the ground, Jiang Cangshu and his companions and the Green Vine Man Huangfu Wang walked slowly over.
Prince Huangfu swallowed visibly, his reticular chest rising and falling: "You ate him!"
He looked very angry, and his body suddenly grew larger, almost as tall as Xiang Liangyu in the air. He roared with his mouth wide open: "Then I will eat you!"
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
With a "bang", she transformed into a human form and fell from the huge gap in the vines.
The moment he landed smoothly, Jiang Cangshu's voice came: "Is it you?"
Xiang Liangyu turned around: "Do you know me?"
Cui Daoping: "Do you know him?"
Jiang Cangshu looked Xiang Liangyu up and down and said, "The newcomer has some grudges against her."
Xiang Liangyu: “?”
She didn't understand. The Huangfu King above her shrank to his normal size and ran towards Xiang Liangyu without saying a word.
King Huangfu roared, "Hungry! Hungry! I'm hungry!"
Xiang Liangyu stretched out his arm, hooked the vines above him, turned over and jumped, and ran flexibly on the thick and intricate vines. These vines were originally part of Huangfu Wang's body, and naturally changed with his movements.
The vines shook and coiled around, trying to tie Xiang Liangyu into a pupae shape for them to eat.
The wings behind Xiang Liangyu were not for decoration, so she naturally dodged among them nimbly. She jumped up and down, slid left and right, and successfully made Prince Huangfu even angrier.
He controlled the vines faster and faster. When he saw that the vines had formed a small circle around her, he sneered, wiped away the saliva left at the corner of his mouth, and clenched his five fingers: "Tied her up!"
“Ahh—”
A huge vine pupa fell to the ground, splashing up broken leaves and branches.
The tied-up Prince Huangfu kept struggling on the ground. Only then did he understand why Xiang Liangyu was running around just now. She was not trying to escape or hide. She wanted the vines to knot and twist, and then form a huge cage around him!
Xiang Liangyu exhaled, tore off the vines that were surrounding her, and moved her legs and wings. When she came in front of King Huangfu, she raised her right hand with her fingers bent as if she was holding something.
A heavy silver gun appeared in her hand. She glanced at the fierce face of King Huangfu, curled her lips, stretched out her hand to his forehead, pressed the trigger, and said softly: "Bang."
A small stream of water hit him between the eyebrows.
Prince Huangfu was stunned for a moment, then burst into a strong laugh: "What are you doing? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha...ah——"
Xiang Liangyu ignored him and turned into a bird without saying a word and flew towards the exit.
During the fight with King Huangfu, two little foodies ran away.
King Huangfu felt himself merging. He could see thick green liquid sliding down his face, along with the vines that were entangled around him.
He instantly realized what the stream of water that hit his forehead was. It was the water from Jianyue Lake!
How could she know! How could she know!
King Huangfu roared and melted into a pool of green juice on the spot.
【The savior is dead.】
[Congratulations to the player! The side quest [A Call for Help from the Spine Forest] has been completed (8/10). ]
Jiang Cangshu and Cui Daoping were running wildly in the woods and could clearly hear the sound of breaking air behind them.
When their lives were hanging by a thread, a wolf slave suddenly fell from the top of the tree and blocked their way.
Cui Daoping immediately used his magic hat to summon many actions. They were all covered in wounds without exception, and under Cui Daoping's command, they moved the wolf slaves that were blocking the way.
When the two successfully turned over the weak body of the wolf slave, the wolf slave spoke: "Save...save us..."
Jiang Cangshu turned his head suddenly: " What did you say?"
The wolf slave turned around with all his strength, his wet black eyes filled with sadness. His wolf mouth opened and closed, and what came out was actually a human voice: "They, he... are not human..."
Jiang Cangshu forgot her fear for a moment. She stepped forward and stroked the wolf slave's forehead: "What did you say? Who is not a human? Lu Jifeng? Or, all the villagers?"
Cui Daoping had already seen Xiang Liangyu's figure. He was extremely . After calling Jiang Cangshu many times without success, he made up his mind, carried Jiang Cangshu and ran forward.
[Good news! The side quest [A Call for Help from the Spine Forest] has been completed (10/10).]
[Part of the information about Wutou Village is disclosed: Wutou Village is located at the bottom of the cliff, and is surrounded by purple Aconitum grass for several miles. Every full moon night in September, the Aconitum grass will bloom completely, and the purple pollen and the orange full moon will activate the nature of the wolf slaves, which is both suppressive and stimulating.]
【As a noble kingdom, everyone from the king to the beggars on the street are precious, and no one is willing to condescend to serve others, so the kingdom is seriously short of labor. After hearing about this, the nameless village on the edge of the forest led a hundred wolf slaves to the kingdom to recommend themselves.】
【The tall, mighty, obedient and loyal wolf slaves quickly became popular throughout the country. The highest currency for a wolf slave was even speculated to be 300 billion, but just a hundred wolf slaves could not satisfy the appetite of the kingdom, they needed more.】
[More and more wolf slaves were sent to the kingdom, and the number of werewolves in the forest decreased rapidly. The wolf slaves sent to the kingdom were no longer the pampered pets they were at the beginning. They became the lowest existence, and even took pleasure in torturing the wolf slaves.]
【……】
The system shut up. Jiang Cangshu ran out of patience. He patted his shoulders hard and asked, "And then?"
System: [Sorry, the Kingdom team has not completed its mission, so the information cannot be made public.]
Jiang Cangshu cursed.
At the same time, Xiang Liangyu, who was chasing the player, suddenly felt a strange sensation in his stomach.
[NPC Xiang Liangyu has been detected to have eaten a colleague by mistake, and rescue mode has been activated. 】
Xiang Liangyu frowned immediately and spit out a wolf with a "wow" sound.
