Hello friends--
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan finally made their way to the depths of the dense forest and waved to Qian Sen and the others, who were already panting heavily from exhaustion.
Zhou Ling looked up in surprise, her brows furrowing in a strange expression.
Why didn't she think of climbing the tree!
So, it seems we can't break this deadlock using normal thinking after all...?
"Everyone, take a break. Don't accidentally hurt my helpers later!"
Jiang Nuo then used his hand as a megaphone to signal those entangled in the vines to move away.
Just as they were wondering why Jiang Nuo had come out of the bamboo house with helpers, they watched helplessly as even more vengeful spirits and ghosts poured out from outside.
They were more agile than mere zombies, and their appearance was terrifying, yet they completely ignored these few vibrant humans.
"Help... helper?!"
Chu Xiu was astonished, her voice trembling, " Jiang Nuo, where... where did you get this ghost army?"
Let Ghost Killing ghosts! Is this a method an ordinary person could come up with?!
Jiang Nuo reached out and pressed down, looking like she wanted to calm down.
"I told you not to move around, they won't hurt you."
The crisis wasn't so urgent for the time being, Si Yan relaxed and leaned against the branch, clutching Jiang Nuo's clothes tightly.
"That's still a bit too much..."
Jiang Nuo squatted down, touching his left eye as he tried to think of a solution.
The last time we dealt with such a horde of zombies was with hordes of undead... Hey!
A thought suddenly struck him, and he rummaged through his backpack again, revealing several oddly shaped tools in his hand.
It hurts to hear the points being deducted repeatedly.
Jiang Nuo channeled her grief and anger into murderous intent, clapping her hands to attract the zombies' attention, "Clang clang clang! Clang clang! Clang~ Clang clang!"
They sang while filming.
Si Yan blinked, then couldn't help turning her head away to suppress a smile.
Guest group. "..."
Silently cover your ears, refusing to let the piercing sound reach your ears.
Wait... wait! What song is Jiang Nuo singing? It sounds familiar!
[The theme song for Si Yan's new movie... but every single word is out of tune...!]
[Hahahaha, Jiang Nuo's top-tier career has suffered a crushing defeat!! He's tone-deaf!]
[Idol debut and powerful vocalist Chu Xiu closed her eyes, hahaha!]
Perhaps even the walking corpses couldn't stand the demonic sound, baring their fangs and claws as they charged toward the tree where Jiang Nuo was, their low growls growing louder.
The tree was now surrounded by zombies, with the outermost layer consisting of the vengeful spirits that Jiang Nuo had tamed.
Right now.
Jiang Nuo straightened up, swung his arms, and a huge fishing net, as big as the sky, was cast down. Above the net were various colored talismans.
The moment the fishing net covered the body, it crackled and popped, and flames erupted from the zombie's body, from which it could not escape.
The smell of burnt corpses immediately filled the air, mixed with a strong floral fragrance and the stench of blood, making it even more unpleasant.
"Vomit--"
Chu Xiu couldn't hold it in any longer, turned around, ran a few steps, and then vomited violently while bent over.
The zombies have been dealt with for now, but there are still quite a few blood-red flowers that use vines to suck human blood.
Several pairs of eyes looked over, wanting to see if Jiang Nuo could still produce any strange or unusual magical artifacts.
Lin Yu's gaze swept over the bag that Jiang Nuo was always carrying.
This bag looks empty; you could pull out anything from it. It doesn't seem like a simple treasure bag.
Just like Jiang Nuo himself, he is eccentric and intriguing, making him quite difficult to deal with.
Jiang Nuo made another clanging sound and pulled out a magical artifact.
Even Si Yan didn't expect this.
"... a hair dryer?"
Her phoenix eyes were almost overflowing with doubt, "How do you use it?"
Jiang Nuo coughed twice and, amidst the continuous crackling of the fire below, began his enthusiastic and loud introduction.
A hair dryer that can absorb magical power!
He got this from a beautiful duchess who loved blow-drying her hair; it's incredibly useful! No electricity needed! A must-have for home, travel, and ghost hunting!
Jiang Nuo pressed the button, and the air vent was aimed at the tall, blood-red flower that started growing from under the tree.
"Hurry up!" he warned.
boom--
Si Yan was startled and stared in surprise at the blower nozzle that looked like a giant windmill.
Is this... the sound a hair dryer can make?
All the petals were blown into the sky, and the zombies that hadn't been driven over could no longer hide. Amidst the roar, soon only bare flower stems remained in this area.
The crowd clung to the tree trunk, bewildered in the howling wind.
Jiang Nuo smiled, her bright smile creating a striking contrast.
call out!
An extremely strange magical force came toward the hair dryer in Jiang Nuo's hand.
Si Yan reacted quickly, reaching out to block and neutralize the magic.
" Nuonuo, it's Ma Ye."
Jiang Nuo finally put away her playful mood, turned off the ear-splittingly loud hair dryer, rummaged around and stuffed it back into her backpack, then hugged Si Yan and jumped down.
"You cowardly bastard!"
Jiang Nuo called out towards the shadowy figure.
Ma Ye emerged from behind the tree with a sinister smile. His smile was forced and insincere, and his cloudy, bloodshot eyes blazed with murderous intent.
"Really... if I had known I would meet you that day, I shouldn't have pretended. I should have just killed you."
Jiang Nuo held up a finger at him, waving her arm in strong disapproval.
" Jiang Nuo is not someone you can kill just because you want to."
Ma Ye: "..." You're crazy.
He raised his hand behind him, his expression sinister and terrifying, neither human nor ghost. "You ruined my plans and killed three of my messengers! Damn it! I am the god who controls this tribe!"
Jiang Nuo shook his head and spoke in a high-pitched voice, "I'm the god who controls this tribe... Bah!"
"What kind of god would look like you? You don't even deserve to be called Ghost King. You even have to imitate other ghosts for an illusion. How pathetic."
He seemed to be drunk; his words were infuriating.
[On Jiang Nuo's 108 Ways to Anger Ghosts and Monsters.]
Si Yan's smile deepened, and his gaze towards Jiang Nuo from behind was full of doting affection and tenderness.
"Hateful!!"
Ma Ye was furious. "Attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the thin, dark trees sprouted skeletal ghost hands that could extend infinitely, heading straight towards Jiang Nuo.
A chilling wind blew, and the black tree moved faster than the ghostly helpers Jiang Nuo had subdued.
Having rested enough, Zhou Ling picked up the astrolabe again, but suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Si Yan, and asked in a questioning tone.
Si Yan nodded, silently saying, "Thank you for your trouble."
Alright, as long as I can get into the Dao Xuan Association, agreeing to this request from the association's young master isn't too difficult.
Having already learned Si Yan's identity, Zhou Ling turned to the side, twisting the tip of her middle finger a few times on the plate, a strange silver light flashing as she aimed it at Qian Sen.
Zhou Ling pulled out a few cards from her waist, laid them face up, the only one standing upright was...
The Devil card, temptation.
Lin Yu suddenly turned around and glanced at her. Zhou Ling's heart tightened. She withdrew her cards, pretended to deal with Hei Shu, and used the changed angle to look back at Si Yan.
"A traitor seduced by the devil."
But the cards are not in a stable position, and the temptation to be tempted may have just begun.
Without a doubt, Zhou Ling knew that Lin Yu was the one who seduced Qian Sen.
Zhou Ling didn't tell Si Yan anything, she just fulfilled Si Yan's request for help, without saying a single extra word.
