Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 416 Deadly Game 2

Ling Jiushi claims to be a socially anxious person, but in fact he is a very good guy, so he has a natural sense of responsibility towards Jiang Xinxin, the person he carried back from the snow. Therefore, after Jiang Xinxin finished eating, he took the initiative to step forward and accompany Jiang Xinxin to chop trees.

"I'm a game developer. Although I've seen the dangers of this world, the underlying logic is still there. We've already found someone to take on the mission. The most important thing right now is to go out and chop down trees. Only after we make them into coffins can we get the key."

Jiang Xinxin thanked Ling Jiushi again and followed him out. Although Ruan Baijie looked unhappy, she followed him out and said, "You two are obviously not capable of working. I will just help you out reluctantly."

Ling Jiushi couldn't help but wink at Jiang Xinxin when he heard that, but Jiang Xinxin felt that there must be something between Ling Jiushi and Ruan Baijie that she didn't know... well, connection.

After walking out of the door and onto the snow, Jiang Xinxin looked up at the sky again. This time, she could see more clearly that the black clouds she had seen before were not simple. There were countless crying faces struggling and shouting, which made Jiang Xinxin's heart heavy.

Ling Jiushi looked around cautiously as he walked. He had not forgotten the female ghost he met before. The reason why he could accompany Jiang Xinxin out now was really because of his kind nature.

Perhaps she noticed that Jiang Xinxin was different. The female ghost, who would only appear after certain conditions were triggered, couldn't help but climb out of the well where she was hiding and followed Jiang Xinxin up the mountain again.

Ruan Baijie was the first person besides Jiang Xinxin to sense the ghost's abnormality. He stopped and warned Jiang Xinxin, "Now is not a good time to go up the mountain. Let's go back quickly. At most, we can chop down two more trees in the afternoon or tomorrow."

Ling Jiushi looked at Jiang Xinxin, who nodded and agreed with Ruan Baijie's opinion. "Ruan Baijie is right. I always feel that something is hovering around us. Although I'm not afraid, I'm worried that thing will separate us and defeat us one by one."

So the group hurried back soon after they came out. When they returned to their respective rooms, Jiang Xinxin entered the space again to check the situation in the space. This time, she found something like a martial arts book without a cover in the space.

Although she only knew the words on it and had some difficulty reading it, she was able to practice it very smoothly, as if she had done it many times before, and her body was soon filled with a kind of, um, internal force?

After practicing for an afternoon and an evening, Jiang Xinxin felt full of energy. She followed Ling Jiushi and Ruan Baijie out to chop trees early in the morning.

To some extent, Ling Jiushi is just a simple and naive person. He didn't notice anything unusual about Jiang Xinxin, and Jiang Xinxin didn't think about hiding it, so Ruan Baijie naturally noticed her difference. Seeing that she didn't hide it at all, she felt uncomfortable, but couldn't help sighing that Ling Jiushi and Jiang Xinxin had no sense of crisis at all.

The female ghost came later today. Jiang Xinxin and Ling Jiushi had already chosen a tree and cut it down before the female ghost arrived.

No one knew what Ling Jiushi had experienced yesterday. As soon as he saw the hair sticking out from the ground, he pulled Jiang Xinxin and ran down the mountain as if he was running for his life.

Miraculously, after a brief fright, Jiang Xinxin still had the leisure to look back at the long hair that kept flying closer. Those hairs appeared to be hairs on the outside, but Jiang Xinxin could see very clearly that there was a thick black aura attached to them. Combined with the supernatural background, they could be identified as something like yin energy and resentment.

As the hair got closer, Ling Jiushi couldn't help but regret, "I should have brought a torch when I went out. That thing is afraid of fire!"

Ruan Baijie was still able to rely on her skills to hold off a few attacks with the axe. She didn't say much after hearing this, but just quietly stayed behind. However, Jiang Xinxin suddenly had an idea, stopped and successfully released a small flame like a burning candle.

Even though Ling Jiushi had a good temper, he couldn't help but complain about Jiang Xinxin's sudden action. However, what was surprising was that the moment Jiang Xinxin released the little flame, the hair flew back rapidly and even disappeared in the blink of an eye!

After being stunned, Ling Jiushi excitedly pulled Jiang Xinxin's right hand and turned it over and over, "Xinxin, have you suddenly awakened some special ability?!"

Ruan Baijie's situation can only be said to be exactly the same as Ling Jiushi's. "Since we don't have to be afraid of the big boss anymore, then we can just go get the key?!"

Jiang Xinxin looked at the two men holding her hands and turning them over and over, and couldn't help rolling her eyes. "Don't we get clearance rewards if we defeat the big boss? I was thinking about going to the lair to see if I could kill that thing."

Ruan Baijie couldn't help but exclaimed, "No one has ever dared to think of this idea, how about we try it now?"

Ling Jiushi also remembered that Ruan Baijie was almost dragged into the well by those hairs yesterday. The three of them didn't even care about the trees they had cut down and walked back directly. There happened to be a well in the backyard of the homestay, and they were almost killed there yesterday.

Jiang Xinxin took back the small flame and kept it on the tips of her right index and middle fingers. She walked through the homestay and came to the backyard. Before she reached the well, the small flame automatically flew to the bottom of the well.

The three inexperienced and cautious people stopped about three meters away from the well mouth, watching the small flame fly into the bottom of the well. Then a shrill wailing came from the bottom of the well. The three of them covered their ears and retreated quickly. Jiang Xinxin was caught off guard and pressed to the ground by the kind proprietress.

The boss lady was so angry that she didn't know how to control her strength. Jiang Xinxin's practice for a night had yielded very satisfactory results. Before Ruan Baijie and Ling Jiushi could help her, she turned over and counterattacked the boss lady with a ferocious face, pinning her to the ground.

The lady boss yelled at the top of her lungs that Jiang Xinxin deserved to die. Jiang Xinxin looked at Ling Jiushi in bewilderment, then at Ruan Baijie. In the end, it was Ruan Baijie who took over Jiang Xinxin's job and worked with Jiang Xinxin to tie up the lady boss. Then she explained to Jiang Xinxin, "This village once experienced a wolf disaster. According to them, it was a girl who stood up and sacrificed herself that brought peace to the entire village."

"I have long suspected that the female monster in the well is the girl who 'voluntarily sacrificed'. Now looking at the boss lady's condition, could that female monster be your daughter?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xinxin understood the whole incident. She couldn't help but spit at the boss lady: "When your daughter was sacrificed by the whole village, you didn't stand up to stop it. Now your daughter has turned into a female monster and killed so many innocent people, but you stand up and shout for your daughter."

Ling Jiushi agreed with Jiang Xinxin's words, but he also felt that the female monster in the well was even more pitiful.
