Damn! There is no way out...... It's deliberately pushing me here!?

Jiang Yao glanced at the cliff behind him, and then turned his head to look at the headless female corpse in front of him, and a desperate sense of despair suddenly surged into his heart.

[Hehehe...... I've been waiting for you for a long time......]

The eerie laughter echoed for a long time in the night, and Jiang Yao looked at the woman's head that fell from the sky and merged with the corpse in front of him, trembling and retreating towards the cliff behind him.

Don't be afraid...... You're ...... right away You will be able to 'merge with me'......]

The woman's voice seemed to have some kind of magical power, like poison that stirred Jiang Yao's heartbeat and eroded Jiang Yao's nerves. In that inexplicable palpitation and uneasiness, Jiang Yao felt that his body had become a little stiff, and he could only watch as the female corpse stepped forward with a sinister smile and pressed it to his face.

【Come on...... Take your soul ...... All your ...... Sacrifice to me!]

The female corpse's cloudy eyes faintly shone with some dangerous red light, and as the other party approached, the impatience in Jiang Yao's heart became more and more obvious, which made Jiang Yao's nerves suddenly tense to the extreme, and the 'Gu Dan' in his hand was also shining brightly at this time.

“…… Get out of here, don't come near me!"

Jiang Yao roared, and a scorching power burst out from the palm of his clenched Gu Dan in an instant, breaking the "curse" that imprisoned Jiang Yao's body in an instant!

"Pound ——!"

With Jiang Yao's fist, a crimson light swept through the array of mana fluctuations, and blasted towards the female corpse floating in mid-air! However, such a simple and direct attack did not seem to work, I saw that the female corpse easily dodged, and the erupted mana fluctuations hit the stone wall on the side, and the mountain rock shook for a while, and the cliff edge under Jiang Yao's feet also fell apart under the shock.

Not good!

Jiang Yao felt bad, but it was too late.

"Boom......!!"

With the roar of the explosion, Jiang Yao only felt that his feet were empty, and before he could react, he instantly lost his balance and fell off the cliff on his back......

-------------------------

"Huh?"

Mu Jianyun raised his head suddenly, turned around as if he had a feeling, and looked into the depths of the dense forest in the night behind him.

The glimmer of the waning moon shrouded the deep mountain forest in a hazy shadow through the flowing clouds. Under the cold wind, the leaves of the dense forest are broken, like a sobbing ghost crying, adding a bit of treacherous color to this Changyou mountain forest.

"......" Mu Jianyun narrowed his eyes slightly, silently staring at the swaying woods in the distance, but quickly retracted his gaze and threw the destroyed 'Spell Paper Man' in his hand to the ground.

"Such a vicious defensive formation has been laid out, it would be unimaginable if ordinary people entered by mistake......" Mu Jianyun frowned, glanced at the 'Spell Man' array that he had just cleared, and muttered to himself in a low voice. "Things are not quite right, what happened to Changyou Mountain? If Jiang Yao also came here, then he ...... now"

Just as he was hesitating, Mu Jianyun suddenly seemed to notice something, he immediately held his breath, dodged and jumped onto a tree on the side, hiding his figure between the dense branches and leaves.

“…… This is the place where the previous movement came from!"

"Wait! This—This is ...... The spell array has been destroyed!?"

With a burst of noisy words, I saw two demonized Changyou villagers dressed in Miao costumes and with four ears appear in the dense forest, staring at the destroyed 'Spell Paper Man' formation in amazement.

The Changyou clan? This formation was laid by them?

Mu Jianyun looked at the Changyou villagers below, and his face became a little solemn.

"It can't be an ordinary person who can destroy the 'Spell Paper Man' array, maybe it's the headless 'Demon Gu Master' who has escaped here, so I have to inform the patriarch immediately!" said a villager in a panic.

"But...... The headless 'Demon Gu Master' before was still making noise near the 'Forbidden Land', how could he suddenly run here?" another Changyou villager seemed to be a little puzzled.

"Who knows? That monster is very familiar with the terrain of our Changyou Mountain, and it is elusive, and even the patriarch and gluttony haven't been able to catch it!"

"Speaking of which, the human who came with the gluttony seems to have fled before, it seems that he fled to the woods to the south, and now the village is arresting people......!

"Damn, if they find something they shouldn't have discovered, it will be troublesome...... This kid, why is he making trouble at such a time!"

"Don't complain yet, tell the patriarch about the situation here......"

……

The figure of the villager hurriedly walked away, and Mu Jianyun quietly leaned out from behind the shadow of the tree after observing for a while, looking at the backs of the two people leaving, and frowned again.

"The human who gluttoned together...... It should be Jiang Yao, right? Why are they chasing him? And what is ...... "Headless Demon Gu Master"? What is the Changyou clan hiding......

Mu Jianyun thought about it, but quickly made a judgment. I saw that the inscription in his palm flashed, and the phantom of an 'eared mouse'-type god quickly took shape and flew towards the two Changyou villagers in front of him, and Mu Jianyun himself also moved, quietly shuttling between the trees under the cover of night, chasing in the direction where the villagers were running.

-------------------------------------

"Gala...... Bang-'

A figure descended from the sky and rolled into the dense jungle in embarrassment, slamming into the thick grass with a "thud" after being cushioned by several tree branches.

"Hmm...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem!"

Jiang Yao clutched his chest, closed his eyes and coughed wildly, and the crimson light that shrouded his body gradually disappeared as Jiang Yao struggled to get up.

"Ahem...... I...... I ...... this" Jiang Yao opened his eyes, tried to move his hands and feet, and unexpectedly found that except for some abrasions, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones. He looked up at the cliff above him again, and at the crushed branches around him, and suddenly understood his own situation.

It's dangerous...... If it weren't for the luck of being hung by a branch a few times, it is estimated that you would have been crushed......

Jiang Yao gasped for breath with palpitations, and seemed to remember something, raised his hand to look at the shining crimson 'Gu Dan' that was only pinched in the palm of his hand, if it weren't for the blessing of this thing's mana shield, Jiang Yao probably wouldn't have survived the fall from the cliff almost unscathed.

"Anyway, where is this ......?" Jiang Yao came back to his senses, quickly raised his head, and observed the surroundings through the hazy moonlight. I saw that there was no one around the dense forest, and the headless female corpse did not seem to have caught up with her, and from the type and arrangement of the woods, it was not much different from the forest before the cliff fell before, but it seemed to be more primitive and ancient, and it seemed that this place had not been active for a long time.

Is this the depths of Mt. Nagayo...... If you run into a beast, you'll be in trouble.

Jiang Yao thought about it, carefully put the 'Gu Dan' into his arms, and then stood up staggeringly, scanning the surroundings vigilantly. In the bleak cold wind, in addition to the sound of broken leaves, there seemed to be some crisp sounds faintly coming from among the mountains and rocks to Jiang Yao's ears.

This is...... The sound of running water?

Jiang Yao's spirit was suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly searched around following the sound of water. After experiencing so many turmoil, Jiang Yao has long been thirsty, and if he can find a mountain spring or stream, he will not only be able to solve his urgent needs, but also find a way down the mountain in the direction of flowing water.

"Found ......!"

I saw that in front of the dense forest, a crystal mountain spring suddenly met Jiang Yao's eyes, the latter was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran forward, picked up the spring water and was about to pour it into his mouth, but his lips and teeth had just touched the water, Jiang Yao suddenly felt a sulfur smell rushing to his nose, and suddenly turned his head and spit out the water.

"Hmm, cough, cough, cough, this water is ...... Sour!"

Jiang Yao coughed with an ugly face, only to find that this spring water not only exuded the smell of sulfur, but also a little warm, not the kind of water suitable for drinking, and the previous Jiang Yao was obviously carried away by thirst, and he didn't even notice such an obvious problem, which couldn't help but make him a little annoyed.

There is a hot spring in this Changyou Mountain? Could it be that this is still an active volcano?

Jiang Yao sighed, but there was nothing he could do. He reached into the hot spring and washed it, then tore off a strip of cloth from his body, carefully dipping it in water to wipe the abrasions on his body. Although the hot spring water was not drinkable, it was suitable for washing and reducing inflammation, and as he was tending to his wounds, he suddenly felt as if a cold gaze was projected from the other side of the mountain spring, focusing on his face.

"Who?!"

Jiang Yao raised his head sharply and looked at the other side vigilantly, but he saw a pair of cat's eyes emitting a glowing green light.

"Meow ......"

A frightened black cat howled, then turned and burrowed into the darkness of the trees.

Call...... It turned out to be a wild cat......

Jiang Yao's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then washed the strips of cloth in his hands again, intending to wipe his face, but he didn't wipe it twice, but he suddenly thought of a question and was suddenly stunned.

Wild cats...... are there wild cats in the primeval mountains, etc., with that size, it is difficult to ...... Is it a house cat!?

Jiang Yao hurriedly got up and looked in the direction where the black cat disappeared, if the cat was really a domestic cat, it meant that there might be human activities nearby, and even villages, which was Jiang Yao's only "life-saving straw" in this hungry and thirsty situation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao didn't care about cleaning his wounds leisurely, he hurriedly stepped on the stone in the middle of the mountain spring to the opposite bank, and cautiously touched towards the dense forest in front of him.

"Uh...... Rustling ......

The ghost-like sound of the wind mingled with the crushing of leaves, and the biting chill continued to erode Jiang Yao's thinly clothed body. Jiang Yao rubbed his hands lightly, sighed into the palm of his hand, and then tried to cheer up his spirit, carefully discerning the road under his feet under the dappled moonlight, and paying attention to the movements around him.

"Meow ......"

Another grumbling cat meow quietly floated over from the forest, and a pair of fluorescent cat eyes flashed in front of Jiang Yao's eyes again. Seeing this, Jiang Yao hurriedly chased after him, and after passing through similar bushes, an open space came into Jiang Yao's eyes.

"This, ...... here!?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and his heart, which was originally full of anticipation, instantly cooled completely.

What appeared in front of me was piles of ownerless graves scattered all over the hills, and the cold wind swept the broken paper money, fluttering in the night—

This is not a "village" at all, but a desolate mass grave.
