Chapter 晚上 Night

Evening?

Qiu Dugu was taken aback. "Why act at night? Isn't it night right now?"

"No, no, no! We are currently shrouded in dark clouds, with no light coming in, so it's ridiculously dark. But despite the darkness, it's still afternoon, not yet nighttime."

Qiu Dugu was even more confused. This person was so strange. Why did it have to be at night?

But thinking about Fang Yue's great skill, he didn't say anything and agreed.

"By the way, where's that girl?"

"...She was bored, so she went to mess with the corpses."

"Corpses?"

Qiu Dugu frowned. He couldn't help but doubt his judgment again, wondering if he had made a mistake.

Perhaps the guy in front of him was a ghoul. After all, the girl beside him was so weird.

"Not what you think. Charred corpses. When your hair was cut earlier, the arm she used was from a charred corpse."

Qiu Dugu immediately recalled that Bai Xiaoya, indeed, as an ordinary person, relied on a severed arm to break his *bianhua fa* (Transformation Hair).

Although *bianhua fa*'s hardness and toughness were ordinary, it was the first time it had been destroyed by an ordinary person.

"By the way, did you dispose of those charred corpses? Are there any other survivors in the temple?"

After hearing Fang Yue say that the source was above, Qiu Dugu hurriedly ascended to the sky.

Then, by the time he realized he couldn't win, it was too late, and he had already fainted. That's why he remembered such an important thing now.

As for why there was no support, and no one bothered this area, it was because Qiu Dugu had already used his *Lianshou Hui* (United Hands Society) civil servant authority to isolate the area. From now on, only he and his partner, Ma Shaoku, were qualified to enter.

It's just that Ma Shaoku was far away and hadn't arrived yet.

"Charred corpses... I didn't deal with the ones wandering outside. I dealt with all the ones under the eaves of Jiangyun Temple. Besides us, I didn't find a single living person."

*Bang!*

Qiu Dugu punched the ground, gritting his teeth. "It's all my fault... I was too arrogant, thinking I could handle the black cloud and solve the problem from the source. But I missed the best opportunity to save people!"

Fang Yue curled his lip. Fortunately, he didn't tell this guy that Jiangyun Temple was already almost completely dead before he even arrived. Otherwise, who knows what kind of expression he would show.

*Tap tap tap.*

Just then, Bai Xiaoya returned with A Ming.

Bai Xiaoya had rows of bone spears hanging on her back, like a female hunter from a primitive society, holding one in her hand, her expression calm.

A Ming, on the other hand, had a very strange expression, repeatedly sneaking glances at Bai Xiaoya, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

"You're back."

"Yeah."

Bai Xiaoya sat down next to Fang Yue, shaking a new cell phone she had picked up from a corpse.

"Sister Yuan called, asking when we're going back."

The phone had her own SIM card in it.

That's because she went back to the bamboo forest behind Jiangyun Temple, returned to the previous location, disassembled the broken phone, took out the SIM card, and put it in the new phone.

This matter, Fang Yue accompanied her to do it together.

Hearing Bai Xiaoya's question, Fang Yue couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

In such a bizarre environment, suddenly hearing Sister Yuan's so ordinary question was really a bit strange.

"Send her a message, just say something came up, and we might not be back for two days."

"Okay."

After replying to the message, Bai Xiaoya looked at Qiu Dugu.

"What does he mean now? Is he willing to help you?"

Fang Yue briefly told her about Qiu Dugu's thoughts.

"Are you sure? You can't fly. If he deceives you and you fall..."

Bai Xiaoya frowned.

After that incident, she seemed to be much more wary of outsiders.

"No problem, I have my own plans."

As he spoke, Fang Yue looked at the game watch.

The game watch was calm, without any prompts to urgently enter the game.

After thinking about it, he asked Bai Xiaoya to help guard him and entered the game.

"Playing games at this time?" Qiu Dugu was taken aback, but didn't say anything.

In the game.

Lying in the carriage, Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes.

He slowly sat up and looked around. The team's spirit fire torches had already been lit, dispelling the darkness.

The person responsible for guarding him saw that Fang Yue was awake, and immediately perked up, quickly shouting, "Captain Ye is awake! Captain Ye is awake!"

This guy's voice was quite loud, and Fang Yue quickly told him to shut up.

This was the wilderness. Shouting so loudly, did he want to attract ghouls to cause trouble?

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was the first to rush over, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth from sleeping too soundly, and said, "Brother Ye, look, I wasn't lazy. I was guarding you 24 hours a day, maintaining vigilance, always waiting to wake you up!"

Fang Yue's face darkened.

Good fellow, entrusting such an important matter to you, and you can still be lazy and sleep! Fortunately, in addition to Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, Fang Yue also entrusted other reliable people. Otherwise, entrusting her alone as the last line of defense, he might not even know how he died.

"Did you encounter any ghouls on the road today?"

"Answering Brother Ye, no!"

"None? Not even one?"

"Not even one! We were really lucky this time. Everything went smoothly."

Fang Yue couldn't help but be a little suspicious. When he was in reality, he was always ready to enter the game.

After all, the character in the game represented his strength in reality, and the importance of the two was the same.

As usual, Fang Yue initiated the soul-searching three questions: Have you eaten? What did you eat? Did you eat enough?

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu immediately wilted, looking at Fang Yue resentfully, and said in a low voice, "Ate, ate, ate! Don't ask..."

"How much did you eat? Didn't you eat enough? Why are you speaking so quietly? Eating so little, and you want to be the deputy captain of Guyue Village?"

"Brother Ye, that was the amount of food for thirty people a day..."

"Shut up! With me here, if I, the captain, say you haven't eaten enough, then you haven't eaten enough!"

"Brother Ye! I, I'll try harder tomorrow..." Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu cried out aggrievedly.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll come and check if you've completed your task."

After sending Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu away, Fang Yue called the Blood Hunter.

After inquiring, it was indeed as Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu said, they hadn't encountered a single ghoul along the way.

But unlike Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's optimistic view, the Blood Hunter, after getting the Giant-Headed Blood Hound pup, frowned deeply for the first time in so many days.

"Brother Ye, I feel very uneasy. Something abnormal is bound to be a demon!"

"How do you mean?"

"Look, how much distance did we travel today? Compared to when we came, our marching speed is faster, we've changed equipment, and everyone is full of energy, which means we've traveled even more distance. But in such a long distance, we haven't encountered a single ghoul. Don't you think it's strange?"
