"You! Ah... Ahhh!"
Su Hen felt a sharp pain in his arm, the pain spreading from the punctured wound, his fingertips trembling involuntarily, almost to the point of numbness.
Only when blood was dripping from the wound did Su Hen regain consciousness. She took a few steps back and fell to the ground, her lips trembling as she tightly clutched her pierced arm.
"Behave yourself, don't do it more than three times."
Jiang Nuo remained smiling, even clinging to Si Yan with interest as she offered her reminders.
"If there's a next time..."
As Su Hen's eyes finally filled with fear and panic, he slowly looked down at the neck exposed outside the clothes, his gaze seemingly materializing, spreading with cruel killing intent.
"... You... you're insane! Insane!"
Su Hen roared, barely managing to repair his wounds with his Soul Power. The wounds were easy to heal, but the pain was real.
[Awesome!!! Jiang Nuo is so cool!]
[This is the fate of a tattletale; anyone with common sense knows that. Now the guest team should work together.]
"Exactly! Who knows if this tour guide is a good person? Losing even one member increases the danger for the group."
[Is Jiang Nuo crazy, and are her fans crazy too? This warning doesn't have to be like this... it's terrifying!]
[Huh? Who doesn't know that Glutinous Rice is the best counter to zombies? I'm a fan of Jiang Nuo now, so please let me have some! ^v^]
" Jiang Nuo, you..."
Lin Yu wanted to offer some advice, but met Si Yan's cold gaze, so he could only hesitate and help Su Hen up.
"What I'm trying to say is that we can't afford to lose people. Su Hen was wrong to complain; he should apologize to you. Jiang Nuo, don't take it to heart."
He maintained a neutral stance, seemingly trying to avoid offending either side and ease the tension.
Zhou Ling frowned and thought for a moment, glancing at Lin Yu, who had been a nice guy from the beginning. But upon closer inspection, his words were quite strange.
"What are you all standing there for? Come and eat!"
Da Qiang's shouts came from outside the room.
Chu Xiu snapped out of her surprise, "Eating... we have to eat again?"
Her stomach was still churning from the thought of that breakfast.
It turns out that the food here isn't just disgusting, it's incredibly disgusting.
The lunch menu was even stranger than the breakfast menu. The insects were enormous, and the dish that looked like stir-fried meat actually resembled a cross-section of some kind of maggot.
Even Jiang Nuo found it hard to bring herself to eat it.
Da Qiang quickly finished a bowl of rice, told them to eat their fill, and then left the wooden house to start preparing some things.
Chu Xiu's voice was weak. "... I don't think I'm very hungry."
Zhou Ling nodded in agreement, her small face showing no sign of apology. "I'll lose weight."
Si Yan was even more direct, her eyes filled with displeasure. She leaned on Jiang Nuo's shoulder and said coquettishly, " Nuonuo... I'm hungry, I don't want to eat this."
After saying that, she grabbed Jiang Nuo's hand and placed it on her stomach, saying, "I'm very hungry."
You're hungry, but I'm full! (burp)
"I have food."
Jiang Nuo patted his shoulder to signal him to sit down, then took out the backpack he always carried, unzipped it, and put his hands inside.
The crowd's gazes began to shift:??
First, he took out several bags of bread and several packs of milk, then chocolates, candies, egg rolls, and even a stack of talismans.
Chu Xiu and Zhou Ling both looked at the backpack at the same time.
It can hold so much stuff?!
[Shocking! Live broadcast suddenly turns into a magic trick!]
Jiang Nuo's bag has such a large capacity... (exclamation)
Jiang Nuo divided all the chocolates and gave them to Si Yan, then patted the table and smiled brightly.
"Egg rolls 100, bread 200, milk 150, life-saving talismans 20,000 each, only five available; attack talismans 30,000 each, only five available. First come, first served! Honest and fair dealing!"
Everyone: "..."
What a terrible price!
Hahaha! Jiang Nuo is all about money!
I was eating the same bread when I suddenly sat up!
"Has Jiang Nuo gone mad? How dare he ask for such a price?"
"If he doesn't sell, will we all starve? Do you expect him to give it away for free?"
"Who would buy something this expensive? They're crazy..."
I'll buy it!
Chu Xiu immediately spoke up, "I want two loaves of bread, a bag of milk, and two life-saving talismans!"
Attacking is not something she needs to do; simply surviving is enough!
Zhou Ling suddenly stopped dieting, started craving the most food, and even asked for talismans to save her life; Qian Sen did the same.
Lin Yu also ordered food, behaving flawlessly in front of the camera, while Su Hen stubbornly refused, showing a strong sense of pride in trying to prove herself.
Si Yan ate her special chocolate and bread with great satisfaction.
With Jiang Nuo, Si Yan desperately needs to be a unique exception to gain a sense of security.
--
The afternoon's visit will be to Mountain in the Clouds.
Instead of giving them any further choices, Da Qiang took them to the tourist attractions, even brooking no refusal.
On the way, Jiang Nuo tentatively asked why they didn't visit the tribe's territory, Da Qiang's answer was quite peculiar.
"It'll be soon, we can go very soon, no need to rush."
After passing through the forest, the spectacular scenery of Mountain in the Clouds truly amazed everyone.
It wasn't the thick fog typical of forests; it was more like a cloud of mist, within which stood an exquisite pavilion, with carved beams and painted rafters, seemingly suspended in the clouds.
"This is the temple of the Bone Witch Tribe."
Da Qiang explained to everyone.
"The hall houses various deities and is divided into three levels, each with a main hall for prayer."
"When you go in for a visit, be sure to take your own flag and don't get separated. There's a dense forest behind the pavilion, and according to the visitor rules, you are not allowed to enter."
His tone was unusually serious.
For praying for blessings?
Jiang Nuo tilted her head back, sensing the overwhelming resentment within the pavilion. After a moment, her expression turned amused, but she remained silent.
"The astrological chart is in turmoil, a very ominous sign."
Zhou Ling lowered his head, and the pointer on the astrolabe in his hand vibrated and then stopped. The evil spirit symbol lit up, flashing red and black.
"Let's go, let's go, we'll reach the attic if we cross this path."
Da Qiang urged everyone on.
At that moment, a dangerous situation arose.
Ghostly figures flashed along the path leading to the attic.
The ghostly figure was twice the height of a person, thin and terrifying, with its hands being swaying vines that snaked down to the ground like tentacles.
The ghostly figure did not attack proactively; it merely floated in mid-air, as if waiting for everyone to walk into its trap.
The group of guests were all on high alert.
Da Qiang exclaimed in shock, his mouth agape, "It's! It's Ghost in the Road!! A fierce demon from the clan!"
But he only roared in fear, showing no intention of making the crowd back down.
"Aaaaaah--"
Then another scream of fear rang out.
The guests looked over in confusion.
Jiang Nuo covered her ears and clung to Si Yan, her expression terrified. "So scary! So scary! It's terrifying!"
Si Yan: "...?"
I don't understand it, but I enjoy it.
He hugged Jiang Nuo tightly and gently rubbed her shoulders, "Don't be afraid."
What a bizarre scene! Chu Xiu shuddered, getting goosebumps.
Da Qiang was taken aback. "You're scared too?"
"How terrifying... I'm just a delicate tourist, why do I have to go through all this horror?"
Jiang Nuo sobs.
Da Qiang realized he had miscalculated and said speechlessly, "Then you don't have anything to deal with this ghost?!"
Si Yan shook her head, "We're just tourists."
"Hmph, I'll do it!"
Su Hen summoned his Soul Power Doll.
