LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 65
However, no matter how fast the imitator was, it could not be faster than the original version.
In the dark night, the wind howled, and the strange little girl kept blocking the road. Some people were so frightened that they had no strength to knock the little girl down, but they happened to meet the little girl who turned her head 180 degrees and said, “Hehe.”
Then, “Ahhhhhhhhh!”
The live broadcast screen went black. As soon as Yu Qing took five steps with the little girl in his arms, three more live broadcast rooms fell into darkness.
[Ding Dong——]
[Latest news: “Tiying Mountain Village” dungeon, current number of survivors, 14.]
Six of the twenty-person in the dungeons were gone before they even entered the mountain village!
In the night sky, the blood moon hung high, and the little girl in his hand wasn’t heavy. But for some reason, after taking a few steps, Yu Qing broke out in a layer of sweat, his steps became heavy, and his walking speed gradually slowed down.
On the system screen, the physical strength value, which was originally only 15 points, dropped rapidly and fell to 8 after a while.
But as far as the eye could see, there was still a winding mountain road with no end in sight…
Yu Qing’s hands shook a little, as if something was invading crazily and eating away at his physical strength.
When his physical strength dropped to 5, he couldn’t walk any longer, so he put the little girl aside and asked in the live broadcast room.
However, other people’s stamina didn’t drop, so why did he lose so much after just taking a few steps? And, tick.
A drop of red liquid fell on the tip of his nose, mixed with the faint smell of blood. Yu Qing’s expression shifted, and he immediately realized something. He quickly picked up the little girl and hid under the cypress tree. Sure enough, in the next second, there was a splash—
Blood rain poured down, and soon it splattered into the cypress trees. Yu Qing had no choice but to buy a raincoat, use it to block the little girl, and continue moving forward.
His strength was already small, and under the rain of blood, the consumption intensified. He almost walked and stopped.
After a while, the little girl in his arms woke up…
She kept struggling and shaking, and after a while, she broke free from the rope, stretched out a hand, and swish! She scratched Yu Qing’s neck hard.
Blood gushed out and mixed with the blood rain, and the cold fishy smell made him want to vomit.
But the task Yu Qing had received was to protect the little girl from the wind and rain until she got home.
Teeth clenched lightly, the young man endured the wound, gritted his teeth, and walked for a while, finally seeing a stone tablet similar to the village introduction, and his physical strength had dropped to 3.
His feet were almost unsteady, and he finally managed to lean under the hay shed to catch his breath, but then he heard “Hee hee.”
The little girl laughed ferociously, suddenly turned her head, and tried her best to dive into the rain of blood.
Just as her fingers were about to poke out of the hayloft, the next second, snap!
Yu Qing leaned forward and took the initiative to overpower her. He held the small hand tightly with his right hand, the veins popping out. He let the blood rain fall on his hand, which made him tremble from the cold.
[Stamina value: 2/100]
“Ahhhhhh—”
Suddenly, the little girl who was pinned down screamed, the sound was harsh, and she struggled harder and harder.
She wanted to get soaked in the rain, remembering that these annoying players would die if she did it. She wanted to end this one’s life!
“Ahhhh-ahhhhhh—”
The weird screams grew more and more harsh, and Yu Qing’s hand pressing her down grew weaker and weaker. After a while, [beep beep], the alarm of zero physical strength rang in his ears, and the sharp golden needle quickly taken out. Yu Qing tightened his grip, just about to stab it, when suddenly, swish—
His palms were soaked in blood, and Yu Qing saw that the girl’s little hands had… broken at some point?
The skin had torn, revealing a pair of adult-sized, dark greenish corpse hands!
The nails on them were sharp, and she quickly pushed Yu Qing away, grabbed the golden needle, and stabbed at the young man’s eye without hesitation.
Their eyes met, and the corpse loomed over him. Yu Qing had no strength left to break free and was about to turn his head to avoid it when suddenly, bang!
A braid fell onto his face, and the rotten corpse that had been hiding inside the girl’s skin fainted in front of him again.
There was an umbrella covering his head, and then, a slightly trembling voice came into his ears, “Oh my god, my god, my god, you’re not dead, you’re not dead, you scared me to death.”
“Huh…huh…” His chest kept rising and falling as Yu Qing raised his eyes and saw Qian Lai’s face, white with fear.
With a sigh of relief, he was carried by Qian Lai and noticed that the person standing next to Qian Lai wasn’t a little girl, but a… well-dressed little boy?
Qian Lai explained, “I saw that the comments were all about little girls. I don’t know why the one I met was a boy, and he’s quite obedient.”
“Now… what do we do?”
He carried Yu Qing on his back, and no one was taking care of the girl. Blood and rain were still pouring outside, and the system’s mission couldn’t be violated.
Qian Lai hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth, spent another 2,000 points to buy an umbrella, and stuffed it into the little boy’s hand, “You… be good, take this and bring the little girl with us.”
“?” The boy pouted, clearly unhappy.
Qian Lai coaxed, “Come on, I’ll buy you three strawberry lollipops.”
The boy paused, raised his eyes, lingered on the back of Yu Qing’s neck for a moment, then lowered his gaze, seemingly reluctantly, and agreed to the request.
The heavy rain poured down, and the two people and two monsters set off again. On the boy’s back, the little girl was unsteady. Her nails were protruding and making a dangerous “squeaking” sound, about to pierce the boy’s neck. Suddenly, the boy turned his head 90 degrees, and the moment their eyes met, scarlet light shone. His pupils were dark and bulging—snake-like!
As a result, the rotten corpse immediately lowered her hand and obeyed, not daring to say a word.
Tap, tap, tap—
The footsteps continued forward, and soon they arrived at a rather gorgeous temple.
[Ding——]
As soon as they stepped inside, the system prompted: [Host Qian Lai, congratulations, you are the first to reach the mountain village. Bonus points +1000.]
[Ah ah ah! Qian Lai made it!]
The live broadcast chat was flooding the screen like crazy, but all Qian Lai was thinking about was: It still wasn’t enough for him to buy an umbrella.
But forget it, there were always losses and gains when breaking through levels.
Qian Lai walked around the temple and found a relatively clean futon. He raised his foot and kicked it toward a red pillar. He set Yu Qing down and was about to get up when he suddenly realized, “Eh?”
He looked at Yu Qing and asked, “Has the mark on the back of your neck changed?”
“What?”
“Weren’t you originally marked with a flower? Why… has it turned into a snake now? Hiss… there’s one on your ear too!”
Qian Lai gestured, “The ear with the earring.”
Yu Qing’s expression shifted immediately, and he raised his hand to touch his earlobe, his heart gradually tightening. Before he could process how he had been marked, he suddenly heard it—
Tap, tap tap, tap tap tap…
