Chapter 38: In Peril!
She searched room after room, but the ghost doll was nowhere to be found. If it didn't want to show itself, Tang Wange could exhaust herself to death without ever finding it. But how could she force it to appear? She wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathing heavily, and tried her best to remain calm. She recalled the old tree the ghost doll had been watching earlier; she remembered how docile and well-behaved it had been when Zhaohe played with it under that very tree last time. Could it be that tree?
The Huaxia players remained silent, though they were all skeptical. You, a dignified Sect Master of Fusang, don't even have the antidote for the large-scale poison used by your own subordinates? Do you really take us Huaxia players for fools?
Another slightly mocking voice spoke up, but there was only Huang Jueming in the room, making the scene deeply unsettling.
Shen Ni was greatly alarmed. This space was connected to his future path to enlightenment; it was absolutely essential that nothing went wrong. Disregarding the internal injuries from the backlash, he scrambled to his feet to investigate.
Looking toward the man who had sat down opposite him, his body trembled even more violently. Not far away lay an overturned sofa, and beside it, Chang Wu, who possessed martial skills, lay with his mouth wide open, dark blood flowing from the back of his head; he was long dead.
The ghost face let out a strange, creaking shriek and, like a pellet, instantly shot out through the window.
Although he knew the Chaos Bead was changing the subject, it had touched upon the very thing Ye Feng was most desperate to know, so Ye Feng nodded helplessly.
"You came for Zhong Shouhang." Seeing that Xu Zuoyan could not be persuaded to leave, Ye Kaicheng stopped trying and turned to discuss business with Yao Tian.
Listening to their conversation, Bai Zihua kept his gaze fixed on the direction in which Ye Xingtian had left. A flicker of thought crossed his dark eyes, and then, without a word, he returned to the classroom.
But just then, with a thunderous boom, the air fluctuated violently, and in an instant, a terrifying storm of power erupted.
Meng Sangruo could not fully control this dream. Last time, her thinking had been too blurred to realize she was dreaming. This time, it was like possessing someone else and watching another version of herself talking to Senier, or as if her own mind were controlling a puppet to speak.
Seeing that the wooden fence was about to be breached, Xiao Mo and the others decided that rather than sitting and waiting for death, they would fight for their lives. They quickly mounted horses that were no match for those of the horse bandits and charged directly out of Wu Village. The herdsmen and soldiers who had no horses fired arrows with all their might at the bandits, causing them confusion and casualties.
She had spent the entire day with Cui Bin. Although Cui Bin had not strictly restricted her freedom—and in the school, Ren Xinlu could be considered quite free—Cui Bin had barely paid her any attention.
Gu Yuze, on the other hand, had been running to the office every few days. Everyone knew the reason, so they didn't say much.
Fu Tian and the others were indifferent to such hollow reputations; being crowned a "Sect Young Master" was, after all, an honor.
Nian Qing reached out one hand to hold the Hundred-Flower Dew, while the other remained wrapped around Ye Mo, appearing intimate.
Weapons in this great world were classified into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, with each grade further divided into high, middle, and low tiers.
Although the living could learn to be ghosts—refining spirits and cultivating the mind—or learn to be zombies—refining the body and cultivating martial arts—overall, their growth rate was far inferior to that of ghosts and zombies.
Liang Fang had not mistreated him, finding a secret treasure that boosted intelligence to help Luo Lei become a hero. Only heroes could use various skills and possess magical powers; no matter how strong an ordinary person was, their potential was limited.
Several of the crew's buses were waiting outside the set. Seeing that the site had been cleared, Fang Yuan called everyone to board the buses and return to the hotel.
Although this city had climbed into the ranks of the empire's major cities due to its strategic location against the backdrop of the Magical Beast Mountains, it was merely at the bottom of the list.
The audience in the arena heard this description and smiled knowingly; it was a beautiful comeback. Barkley, that fat man, couldn't help but cover his face and laugh at himself. After all, He Yixiang had helped him win the game today, and he was already very satisfied.
