I'm also desperate.
Chapter 146 A Great Start
Ma Ling'er, with her King Kong Barbie physique, was trembling slightly in the team, her brows furrowed.
Fang Yue slowed his horse, and under Luo Xin's slightly surprised gaze, came to Ma Ling'er's side.
"Are you alright?"
After all, he had taken money from the blacksmith Ma, so he had to take care of her.
Otherwise, when Ma Ling'er returned to the village and complained to the blacksmith Ma, he would be embarrassed.
Hearing Fang Yue's words, Ma Ling'er shuddered, as if she had suddenly come back to her senses. She looked at Fang Yue, revealing a faint smile, and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I saw you frowning, and wondered if you were feeling unwell."
"I'm fine, it's just that the sun is too strong. I'm afraid of damaging my skin."
After all, it was an ancient game setting, without convenient things like sunscreen. They had to extract plant sap from rare plants to use as sunscreen.
But obviously, Ma Ling'er didn't bring such a thing. After all, in the wild, everyone was risking their lives, and might die at any time. Who would care about sunscreen?
Moreover…
Fang Yue looked at Ma Ling'er's sturdy physique and chuckled dryly, "Then hang in there, when we arrive at Manshui Village at night, you can have a good rest."
"Okay, I'm fine... Thank you for your concern, Vice-Captain Ye."
Saying that, Ma Ling'er touched her cheek.
"Oh dear, my face is so hot, my heart is beating so fast. Vice-Captain Ye, do you think this is what they call being smitten…"
Before Ma Ling'er could finish her words, Fang Yue had already disappeared.
She looked at Fang Yue's fleeing back and couldn't help but reveal a faint sneer, but quickly restrained her expression.
"Hah! Men!"
Returning to Luo Xin's side, Fang Yue couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, still feeling apprehensive.
He didn't want to be entangled by Ma Ling'er. He couldn't handle that sturdy physique! He'd rather leave this village beauty of the youwu (alluring/tempting) level for other destined people to conquer.
If he was really interested in the girls in the village, Fang Yue thought it would be better if they were ordinary, just ordinary…
"Aba aba! Aba!? Aba!!"
Fang Yue had just returned to the front of the team when he heard someone 'aba aba' behind him.
Fang Yue curled his lips. Without looking back, he knew that someone had logged on.
Sure enough, he immediately received a friend message.
"Brother Ye! Brother Ye, you're inhuman! Why did you take me away, let me go, I want to go back to the village! I want to go back!"
"Hehe! Niu Niu, you've misunderstood. It wasn't me who took you away, but Divine Doctor An."
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"It's simple, have you forgotten how your [Cursed Evil] was resolved?"
Niu Niu thought carefully, and his face immediately showed bitterness.
"I, I was just saying it casually back then!"
"That's terrible. If you were just saying it casually back then, then Divine Doctor An would have just casually saved you back then. Maybe you should have changed your body and reincarnated somewhere else."
"…"
Niu Niu fell silent, because what Fang Yue said was the truth.
If he hadn't sold his life to Divine Doctor An back then, he would have definitely died.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, what should I do? I don't want to go to Mo Village. I'm so weak, I'll definitely die along the way!"
"Some people's death is as light as a feather, while others' is as heavy as Mount Tai."
"Ah? Brother Ye, why has your style changed? You're not such a literary person!"
"Oh, then I'll give you a vulgar version – I don't care if you live or die, just work honestly for me!"
"Wah! My mentality is collapsing, Brother Ye is bullying me!"
Hehe! Now you know how to act pitiful? Too late!
Looking back at Niu Niu's side, Niu Niu was already struggling to get down from the two professional team members and was communicating with Divine Doctor An with 'aba aba'.
Unfortunately, communication was impossible.
Because Divine Doctor An wasn't a player and didn't know what this guy was saying at all.
Eh! Wait! Divine Doctor An seemed to really understand?
Fang Yue continued to watch with suspicion, and found that it was that strange Miaofa (wonderous method) beside him who was providing real-time translation.
Fang Yue saw that Divine Doctor An's expression visibly became unhappy, and then, Fang Yue saw Niu Niu run…
Yes, that's right! Niu Niu actually ran!
He ran away from the team with big strides! Fang Yue was a little dumbfounded and quickly sent a message.
"What's the situation? What's the situation? Did Divine Doctor An let you go?"
"Brother Ye, don't mention it! I'm now a slave escaping from Divine Doctor An. If he asks you to kill me later, don't send pursuers, I can't withstand that many beatings."
Fang Yue's face darkened.
Damn it! This guy was too good at causing trouble.
Sure enough, after a while, Divine Doctor An came to his door.
"Ye Ye, sorry for the embarrassment. My experimental subject is disobedient and ran away. I hope you can send someone to kill him. I don't want him anymore."
Ah, this…
Fang Yue was a little embarrassed.
"Divine Doctor An, this is the wilderness. Sending people out specifically to hunt down a Niu Niu is like throwing a meat bun to a dog. They won't come back."
Of course, Divine Doctor An knew this, but he was still a little annoyed.
"Or, Ye Ye, you can have the team stay where they are and wait for me to return. Give me a fast horse, and I'll be right back!"
Was he so persistent…
Fang Yue was a little depressed.
The escort team was gathered to protect Divine Doctor An's safe return to Mo Village, but now they were letting Divine Doctor An simply chase after someone, putting him in a dangerous situation. Was that even reasonable?
But to have him send people to chase Niu Niu…
"Divine Doctor An, it's not necessary, right? It's just a Niu Niu, there's really no need to chase him. Where can he run to alone? He'll just return to Guyue Village. He might not even be able to run back, maybe something will happen to him on the way."
If it were someone else, they would probably let it go after hearing Fang Yue say that.
But Divine Doctor An had a strange obsession with experimental subjects and still refused to give up.
This gave Fang Yue a headache. He sent a message to Niu Niu, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea… This guy was running quite fast, actually exceeding the range of the message.
Fang Yue was wondering what to do when Luo Xin suddenly shouted from the front.
"Everyone stop!!"
What's going on?!
Fang Yue was shocked. He exchanged a glance with Divine Doctor An and quickly rode his horse to the front to look ahead.
He saw that the six members of the guard team at the very front were lying dead on the ground, their foreheads bulging with veins, their hands and feet twisted and stuck to the ground as if they were enduring some tremendous pressure, and then—
With a bang.
One of them suddenly burst open, splattering blood and turning into minced meat, red and white mixed together, like a flattened gecko corpse, sticking to the ground in a sticky mess, making one feel physically uncomfortable.
Then came the second person, the third person, the fourth person…
They burst open one after another like popcorn, turning into six puddles of corpses.
"Gravity Ghoul…"
Divine Doctor An's pupils shrank, muttering to himself, his expression filled with fear.
Fang Yue敏锐的捕捉到这点,心中咯噔一声,有种不妙的感觉。
Fang Yue keenly sensed this, and his heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling.
Could it be that they encountered a ghoul as soon as they set out, so inauspicious…
