After receiving the sinister box, Granny Gu smiled kindly.
“Little Fish, you’ve completed another task I gave you. Although it took a long time this time, there’s a reward for completing the task.”
“Here, take this back and boil it into a soup.”
Granny Gu pulled out a bloody bone from the shadows and handed it to Li Muyang.
The bone was very fresh, and even the flesh on it was still warm.
【You have obtained Spirit Medium’s Leg Bone】
Li Muyang obediently took it and then received the advanced task from Granny Gu.
“Now that the item has been obtained, Little Fish, help me to the end.”
“Wei Sandao handed this thing over to me, but those guys in the cave definitely won’t let him off the hook.”
“According to the rules, I have to ensure Wei Sandao’s safe departure.”“Now, Granny only trusts you.”
“Go back, boil that bone into soup, and drink it. Tomorrow night, you should escort Wei Sandao out of the mountains.”
“As long as you safely escort Wei Sandao out of these Myriad Great Mountains, you can take your Xiao Yecao and go wherever you want.”
The mysterious Granny Gu, with a gentle smile, said, “Granny will help you erase your tracks so that those guys in the cave can’t find you.”
【Main Quest: Escort Wei Sandao out of the Myriad Great Mountains】
The system information in his field of vision kept flickering.
Li Muyang’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Granny Gu’s words.
Does this mean that after escorting Wei Sandao, he wouldn’t need to return to Black Cloud Village?
This must be the ultimate task of the third stage.
Escorting Wei Sandao out of the Myriad Great Mountains would allow him to enter the next stage.
Li Muyang, holding the blood-stained leg bone, returned to his stilt house.
Without minding the deep night, he immediately started a fire to boil the bone soup.
This 【Spirit Medium’s Leg Bone】 was clearly something to enhance the power of his evil veins.
After consuming it, it would strengthen Li Muyang’s evil vein power, giving him the ability to escort Wei Sandao out of the mountains.
But leaving the Myriad Great Mountains didn’t seem difficult, did it?
Li Muyang had tried to take Xiao Yecao out before, and it was a breeze.
Why did Wei Sandao’s departure require Li Muyang’s personal escort?
Li Muyang was curious but obediently boiled the soup.
Xiao Yecao, who was cultivating, smelled the fragrance of the meat soup and immediately floated up from her room.
She sat cross-legged in mid-air, absorbing spiritual energy while curiously floating over to the kitchen, her mouth watering.
“Elder Brother, are we having meat soup tonight?”
Stars filled the girl’s eyes.
Looking at this gluttonous girl, Li Muyang was somewhat speechless.
“You should focus on your cultivation. Why are you floating around?”
Who else could multitask while cultivating, floating here and there?
Absorbing spiritual energy required strict physical conditions.
Ordinary people had to sit upright and regulate their breath to practice.
But Xiao Yecao could multitask, able to cultivate while doing other things, exuding a leisurely and casual vibe.
Looking at this girl who became lazier after learning to cultivate, to the point where she wished she could float instead of walking, Li Muyang glared and said.
“Do you want some soup?”
“Uh-huh,” The girl nodded happily.
Li Muyang ladled a spoonful of hot soup into a bowl and said, “This bone was given by Granny Gu.”
“Ugh…”
With that one sentence, Xiao Yecao ran away retching.
She remembered the incident of Li Muyang using bone ash in water, and clearly, the phrase ‘given by Granny Gu’ had a huge impact.
Li Muyang chuckled to himself, watching Xiao Yecao leave without trying to stop her, and then he began to drink the soup.
After boiling, the spirit medium’s bone dissolved directly into the water.
A large pot of thick white meat soup… Li Muyang drank it all up.
But it was tasteless, probably because the thing itself tasted so disgusting that the system blocked the flavor.
Li Muyang smacked his lips, feeling nothing after drinking a pot of soup, and went straight to bed.
The game’s time flow sped up, and soon it was the next night.
【Escort mission has begun, please ensure Wei Sandao’s safe departure from the Myriad Great Mountains】
Looking at the system prompt before him, Li Muyang, with his luggage, and Xiao Yecao sneaked out of the village through a secret path to the forests outside Black Cloud Village.
He was already familiar with this secret path and quickly reached the end of the tunnel, where Wei Sandao was waiting.
“…How did you know there’s a secret path here?” Wei Sandao was very curious.
Li Muyang smiled slyly and said, “I found it by chance, Steward Wei need not worry.”
“Come on, let’s get moving. Granny Gu asked me to personally escort you out of the Myriad Great Mountains.”
Li Muyang started on the journey.
The three of them walked out of the cave and into the depths of the dark forest.
Wei Sandao looked at Li Muyang with some doubt and said, “Did Granny Gu really ask you to escort me alone?”
He was skeptical of Li Muyang’s strength.
Just as Li Muyang was about to speak, he suddenly froze, staring in shock ahead.
In the originally dark and quiet forest, several eerie figures appeared.
They wore tattered divine robes and broken divine crowns, their bodies swaying in the darkness as if they couldn’t walk properly.
A cold wind, accompanied by these strange figures, began to howl through the forest.
Even further ahead in the depths of the forest, there were the shrill sounds of gongs and drums and the loud noise of firecrackers, as if celebrating a festival.
However, there was no festive atmosphere, only a creepy and chilling wind.
Li Muyang’s body stiffened, an unpknown sense of horror rising from his back and spreading through his body.
–The sudden appearance of these eerie figures in the forest felt more terrifying than any demon or ghost.
They were like monsters from a nightmare.
The only thing that could compare to them was the equally sinister Flesh and Bone Green Garment…
Li Muyang’s eyes were filled with shock: “What are those things?”
Are there such things outside Black Cloud Village?
How come I never noticed before?
The next second, those eerie figures all laughed sinisterly, surrounding Li Muyang and the others from all directions, trapping them in the center.
【You died. Game Over】
…….
“What the f*ck? Died just like that?”
Li Muyang opened his eyes in the bamboo house, somewhat surprised.
Although he knew the escort mission would be difficult, he didn’t expect new elements to be added.
Those things that looked similar to the Flesh and Bone Green Garment were utterly sinister.
Even more so than the Flesh and Bone Green Garment.
Were those things targeting Wei Sandao?
Li Muyang reloaded the game and re-entered.
This time, after meeting Wei Sandao, Li Muyang started to inquire.
“Steward Wei, if you were to leave Black Cloud Village, would any evil creatures try to stop you?”
Li Muyang got straight to the point.
Wei Sandao hesitated for a moment before nodding: “Yes.”
“When we followed the Temple Seal Lord to Black Cloud Village, we made a blood oath.”
“If anyone breaks the oath and tries to escape, they will be killed by the ancient evil spirits of Black Cloud Village, never to be reborn.”
