After a long while, Jiang Nuo suddenly calmed down.
He held Si Yan's body in his arms, looked up at the boundless darkness, his breathing gradually calming down, his face expressionless.
[... Si Yan ...is dead?]
"No way!! How could he suddenly die! God Nuo, say something!"
[Ugh, those damned Wa Country! Shameless bastards!]
[ God Nuo looks really bad... Holy crap, I'm a little scared.]
The comments section was in an uproar, leaving netizens who had just been cursing at Si Yan completely bewildered.
Having overcome so many hardships and dangers, how could falling into a hole and losing your life?
Jiang Nuo lowered her eyes and could sense that Si Yan's soul had not disappeared, but it was no longer in his body.
Perhaps it's a different space... or perhaps he can't see it.
For example, that unseen Divine Tree.
Jiang Nuo held Si Yan's body, slowly lowered her head, forehead to forehead, and whispered, calling Si Yan's name again and again.
The soul within gradually sensed the location, as if they were telepathically connected, right above the vines.
He looked up and saw vines growing upwards, their end indistinct, but they were definitely underground, inside the church.
Was it a deliberate attempt to lure him there using Si Yan?
Jiang Nuo frowned slightly, suddenly recalling the words that Sano Kurotsuki had unintentionally uttered earlier.
Was there a Satan sacrificial ceremony inside the church, or... was Si Yan used as a sacrifice?
He forced a smile, a numb one.
I wonder which deity dared to steal his people as sacrifices.
Sensing that Si Yan's body was gradually losing its temperature and becoming cold, Jiang Nuo gently kissed his cheek and calmly called out to him.
[0732.]
[Yes, what kind of help do the taskers need?]
[Living creatures cannot be placed in this space. You can grant access restrictions.]
Jiang Nuo gave it absolutely no room to refuse.
Originally, it shouldn't have been allowed, but after assessing the situation, 0732 felt that refusing now... wouldn't feel good.
That's really scary.
[Permission granted: 500 points, stored in the body for half an hour.]
Jiang Nuo's tense body relaxed for a moment, her palm touched Si Yan's brow, and she closed herself off completely.
The live chat erupted in another uproar, but no one doubted that Jiang Nuo's actions would have any negative consequences.
Jiang Nuo wants Si Yan to survive more than anyone else, and netizens have complete faith in that.
Jiang Nuo was the only one left in the dark underground.
He returned to the hole he had fallen into, the red rope wrapped around his wrist hanging to the ground, and amidst the swirling Demonic Qi, the entire underground excavation burst open.
With a deafening roar, Jiang Nuo moved with incredible speed, heading straight for the place where his soul sensed him.
"Ho..." "Roar..."
Countless ghosts blocked the way in the surrounding passageways.
They seemed to have been prepared all along, waiting here on purpose. They were gray and cold, and all their eyes were fixed on Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo tilted his head, ready to kill any ghost he saw.
Blood splattered on his handsome face, but his expression remained unchanged, a mask-like smile playing on his lips.
The comments from netizens who were initially excited by his big move gradually came to a halt.
The reason is simple: it's terrifying.
In the dimly lit passageway, only a chilling gaze could be seen, and a smile revealing sharp, white teeth sent shivers down one's spine.
Her crimson eyes seemed to hold a ghostly flame, bloodstains stained her cheeks, and her smile was cruel.
With a flick of the rope, the evil spirit blocking the road will perish.
They fought their way through this tunnel filled with vengeful ghosts and monsters, carving a bloody path that no ghost dared to block.
Swish.
More severed limbs fell to the ground, the vengeful ghost's soul was torn apart, and it vanished with a shriek.
Jiang Nuo lifted his eyelids, his scarlet pupils sweeping over the now silent ghosts blocking his way. His voice was clear and cold, yet chilling.
"Shall we continue?"
The ghosts who hadn't yet made a move turned around and stared blankly at the cave wall, pretending they hadn't seen Jiang Nuo at all, for fear that they might be annihilated at any moment.
The red rope wrapped around Jiang Nuo's wrist grew darker and darker, soaked with the blood of countless vengeful ghosts and monsters.
There was no time to linger. They quickly ran back to the passageway where Su Shan had led them down, and after exiting the hidden door, they ran towards the top of the church.
Another voice soon appeared in the comments.
So they just ignore it after the detector is stolen?
[Same as above!! That's Dragon Vein! How can Jiang Nuo not distinguish between what's important and what's not?]
I can't even imagine what kind of natural disasters would occur if the Dragon Vein really fell into the hands of the Wa Country...
"Although... if Si Yan gets into trouble, even if the Dragon Vein hasn't been found yet, Jiang Nuo wouldn't care even if the sky fell."
[If you went to the other live stream, you wouldn't find anyone asking about the Dragon Vein. Sano Kurotsuki is a useless piece of trash... God Nuo was prepared for this!]
After stealing the detector, Sano Kurotsuki followed the directions and headed deeper into the garden, where he was already close to its underground.
The exact location of the Dragon Vein has been found, but that's all.
Damn it!
Sano Kurotsuki cursed angrily, "Damn it!"
He slammed the detector to the ground, his neck bulging with anger. The area where he stood was pitch black, with a clear spring in front of him, where golden light occasionally peeked out.
This thing can only detect the location of the Dragon Vein; it can't get close at all!
Even when incomplete, the Dragon Vein strongly repels any special forces from approaching.
His consciousness guarded the cave wall, and upon sensing the approach of the Half-Corpse Soul, it immediately lunged and bit at it, tearing at it once more.
But ultimately, consciousness is no match for it.
The Half-Corpse Soul was personally crafted by Jiang Nuo and can sense Jiang Nuo's emotional and power fluctuations. Knowing that Jiang Nuo's emotions are very unstable at this moment, it does not restrain its power at all and only wants to finish the battle quickly.
Sano Kurotsuki realized Jiang Nuo's intentions, but he had no way to enter the Dragon Vein territory, so he could only fight against the Half-Corpse Soul.
In a short while.
The Half-Corpse Soul gripped the heavily injured and helpless Sano Kurotsuki, its blurred face contorted with ferocity.
Several iron nails pierced through Sano Kurotsuki's shoulder. He grabbed the chain and rushed up to the church to take the items back to Jiang Nuo.
Holy crap... No wonder God Nuo isn't worried about the Dragon Vein!! His dolls are amazing!
Is this the correct way to understand consciousness?
"Our warriors! Those despicable Hua Country! Stingy fools! All they want is to go inside the Dragon Vein, right?"
"You shameless bastard, do you think the Dragon Vein is your personal property? Get lost!"
"Warriors, my foot! If Si Yan doesn't wake up today, God Nuo could beat the Wa Country players to a pulp..."
[By the way, am I the only one who thinks this thing looks... familiar?! Why do I keep seeing Zhang Quan from certain angles?]
Holy crap... don't even mention it, it's giving me goosebumps all over...
The Half-Corpse Soul, completely oblivious to the possibility of being recognized, grabbed the bleeding Sano Kurotsuki and rushed towards the church.
