Liu Qi had to admit, was a good teacher and was patient enough!
"General Liu, can I try it myself?"
Liu Qi saw that the horse he rode was quite gentle, and as long as he paid attention, nothing major should happen, so he replied, "You can, but you must hold on tight after I loosen the reins! Take your time!"
Qin Jiujiu: "Okay!" She quickly gripped the reins as Liu Qi had instructed.
At first, the horse under her was very obedient. But for some reason, after she had ridden a distance, a gust of demonic wind blew, and the horse suddenly lost control.
"Ah..."
Liu Qi quickly noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Miss Qin! Hold the reins and try to lie on the horse's back!"
(I'm just making this up about horse riding... please don't criticize me)
Qin Jiujiu did as she was told, but the horse seemed to have gone mad and was charging forward.
Qin Jiujiu only dared to lower her body, lying flat on the horse's back, the reins leaving red marks on her palms.
The path grew narrower, and the horse seemed to sense it, drilling deeper into the jungle.
Fortunately, Qin Jiujiu kept her head down, avoiding being scraped by the dense branches, but her body was already covered in wounds, bleeding.
"System! What's wrong with this horse?"
This horse is definitely not right!
"Host, this horse must have been hit by sorcery! You are about to trigger a new plot! Please pay attention!"
New plot?
"What new plot is it?" Her memory was becoming increasingly vague, and it seemed that the further she got into the timeline, the less she remembered the original plot!
But the system had disappeared again!
She was so angry that she almost straightened up, but she managed to control the impulse.
Her life was more important!
Would she be able to survive if she jumped off the horse?
She asked herself, and finally, her knowledge of physics dissuaded her.
The speed was too fast, jumping off would mean death or serious injury!
A sense of weightlessness came over her, and she fell into a deep pit with the horse.
Fortunately, she had the horse as a cushion, and Qin Jiujiu, who fell on the horse, merely fainted. However, the fine steed collapsed and could not get up.
Liu Qi hurried to look for Qin Jiujiu, but his light skill was no match for the mad horse, and he lost track of her.
In the darkness, the Qiankun bag at Qin Jiujiu's waist suddenly lit up.
Liu Qi encountered Liu Jin and Xiao Yuan, who were rushing back, and he snatched Liu Jin's horse and sped towards the direction where Qin Jiujiu had disappeared.
Qin Jiujiu was woken up by the system. She rubbed her head, which ached.
This pit must be very deep!
The horse lay beside her, motionless. She could vaguely see the outline of the horse by the faint light filtering in from outside the pit.
Alas! Poor horse!
And poor me, a cannon fodder tool!
"System, I've fallen into this pit, how can I trigger the new plot? Get me out of here!"
System: What's with the attitude?
Qin Jiujiu: It's all your fault! I've been with you for so long, I've learned a thing or two!
The system went silent for a moment, then said, "Host, the new plot has been triggered!"
Qin Jiujiu asked doubtfully, "In here?"
This pit is a bit too crude!
The system thought, don't underestimate this pit, you'll be crying later!
"There's a demon in this pit..."
Still in the usual ethereal tone, Qin Jiujiu felt a chill down her spine. She was already scared.
Every time the system said this, she would encounter big trouble.
A pair of bright, sparkling eyes flickered, watching everything in the darkness.
Whether it was her imagination or not, there seemed to be a "rustling" sound from a corner in the darkness.
It sounded like a snake hissing!
Qin Jiujiu's heart immediately sounded the alarm. She dared not make a sound, but her heartbeat and breathing were uncontrollable.
Her hand slowly moved to her waist, unfastening the Qiankun bag. But the bag was getting hot again, burning her palm, especially since she had two scratches on her hand.
However, there was something more terrifying in front of her, so she ignored the pain in her palm.
The dark and confined environment amplified her fear, and Qin Jiujiu felt sweat break out all over her body, which was now chilling.
The rustling sound did not disappear, it stimulated her nerves like a mantra.
Suddenly, two small lights in that corner flickered and rapidly approached her.
The rustling sound also grew closer.
Qin Jiujiu forcefully suppressed her inner fear and cheered herself on. She opened the increasingly hot Qiankun bag and took out all the talismans.
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope appeared. If she could find a teleportation talisman, she would be saved immediately!
System: How could it be so easy for you to escape the plot?
There was no teleportation talisman, but whether it was used up or for other reasons, it was impossible to verify!
Cold sweat dripped from Qin Jiujiu's forehead, gathering and falling.
The two lights had reached her, very close. She confirmed that it was a large snake.
The snake was like a giant python, very fat, its body covered in black scales, flicking its tongue at her.
It was stretching its neck, as if staring at her.
Qin Jiujiu dared not move. The giant python suddenly opened its bloody mouth, about to attack her.
She threw all the fire talismans in her hand at it, quickly chanting the incantation. All the fire talismans unleashed their power together.
The snake's body caught fire. It recoiled its upper body and suddenly transformed into human form.
The giant python transformed into a man. He was all black, with black clothes and black hair. Even his skin seemed very dark (perhaps because it was too dark in the pit), which was fitting for his black scales.
Snake demon!?
The snake demon, after transforming into a human, looked not scary, but rather simple and honest.
Qin Jiujiu still dared not move. The image of him opening his bloody mouth to eat her was etched in her mind.
The man into whom the snake had transformed was very tall, with somewhat tattered clothes on his upper body.
Is this snake so poor that it can't even afford new clothes?
Qin Jiujiu, using a sliver of light, saw his intermittently visible physique and felt an urge to get a nosebleed.
Do not look at what is improper!
She silently covered her eyes, peeking through the gaps between her fingers.
The man glanced at his clothes and said with some distress, "My new clothes! You pay for my new clothes!"
Suddenly, his gaze turned to Qin Jiujiu.
Qin Jiujiu trembled all over, daring not to move again.
But she silently repeated his words. It seemed he wanted her to pay for clothes?
Are there such demons nowadays?
Qin Jiujiu was a bit confused. Seeing her silence, the man took a few steps closer.
Qin Jiujiu thought he was coming to eat her, and quickly shouted, "My meat is really not tasty! It's indigestible! Eating it will cause constipation!"
Why do they, one after another, want to eat her?
Suddenly, the bell on her hand rang.
Both of them were attracted by the bell. After a moment of silence, the man suddenly cried out in pain and returned to that corner.
But he didn't crawl; it was as if he had been blasted away!
