I'm also desperate.
Chapter 343 Strange Phenomenon on the Village Road
For a moment, Fang Yue felt a little worried, but when he thought that Ni Dongmei was still in Mo Village, he felt relieved.
Instead of worrying about Mo Village, which was protected by an ancient array, he should think more about when he could return to Mo Village.
This leg of the escort team's return trip was really safe to the point of bursting. If the theory of the blood hunter wasn't weighing on his mind, Fang Yue would have thought his luck was off the charts.
Then Fang Yue continued to ask the blood hunter some questions about the team's situation, and Fang Yue felt relieved.
There were no strange attacks, and the team suffered no losses except for fatigue from continuous travel.
Many people in the team began to marvel at how easy this trip back to the village was.
*Pa da, pa da.*
Fang Yue sat in the carriage, thinking while striking the fire.
The Ningtai Ring rattled, the fire flashed, and it was surprisingly smooth.
Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that after experiencing the Black Cloud Ghoul in reality, and using the Liehuo Fist (Raging Fire Fist) by concentrating all the flames on his fist, his control over his internal energy seemed to have improved further.
And this control, expressed in actual operation, was that he could now successfully light the Ningtai Ring seven out of ten times.
The matter of lighting a fire with the ring seemed to have suddenly become a natural result, and it was no longer so difficult.
After continuing to practice for a while, Fang Yue began to follow the guidance of the ring, performing sequence fixation on the condensed sparks… and then, the fire went out.
"Shit! Another failure?"
Fang Yue felt that something was wrong. He clearly had a deeper understanding of internal energy control in terms of lighting the fire, but when it came to the condensation and fixation stage, there was still a problem.
Fang Yue continued to practice unwillingly, and by the time it was almost midnight, he was finally able to barely fix the first spark without it being extinguished.
This difficulty… this ring better be paired with a good knife, or I'll definitely smash you to pieces!
Fang Yue thought hatefully, scratching his hair in annoyance.
Then, he felt something was wrong.
His hair… was very oily.
No, it wasn't just oily, it was oily to the point of dripping water.
"Everyone stop!"
With a loud shout, the large group holding Renhun (Soul Lantern) torches stopped one after another.
Several core vice-captains, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu (Light Sky Paper Kite Dance), and the blood hunter, among others, gathered around.
"Ye-ge (Brother Ye), what's the situation?"
"Ye-ge, is something wrong?"
They asked nervously, but they weren't that panicked.
Because Fang Yue was the pillar of the team, as long as Fang Yue was there, they would have a backbone and wouldn't be chaotic.
Fang Yue frowned: "Do you feel like your hair is oily?"
Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu: …
Vice-captains: …
"Ye… Ye-ge, are you still sleepy? You sleep all day and don't wash up or groom yourself, isn't it normal for your hair to be oily?"
Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu curled her lips and said.
But Fang Yue looked at her hair: "I'm asking if your hair is oily?"
"Of course mine… Eh! Eh, eh, eh!"
Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu touched her hair, and it was indeed greasy!
This was simply unscientific, because she washed her hair and face with the team's clean water every day.
Even though it was an ancient background game, girls' pursuit of beauty would not compromise.
So, after touching her greasy hair that felt like she hadn't washed it for a month, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was completely unsettled!
But the other vice-captains, these rough men, didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it. It was just hair, greasy was just greasy.
"Ye-ge probably doesn't mean that… Does anyone have a Ce Gui (Ghoul Detecting) talisman? Burn one immediately!" The blood hunter frowned and immediately ordered.
This wasn't like when they were going to Mo Village, when everyone was miserable.
After staying in Mo Village for so many days, those who sold goods sold goods, those who had opportunities in Mo Village earned some money, and those who were really short of money could take on errands, which were also lucrative.
So, on the way back to the village, everyone became petty bourgeois, their lives were beautiful, and their pockets were bulging.
So, taking out a Ce Gui talisman was no problem at all.
One of the vice-captains casually took out one, poured internal energy into it, and burned it.
After a while, the Ce Gui talisman naturally burned to ashes, indicating that no ghoul was encountered.

Did I overthink it?
Fang Yue couldn't help but feel confused.
But looking at the others, apart from the oily hair, there really didn't seem to be any problems.
Could it be that there was some kind of weather that specifically made people's hair oily?
Fang Yue still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the source, so he let the team continue to move forward.
*Drip.*
*Drip.*
As they moved forward, Fang Yue found that the oily hair was dripping oil onto his face and the ground.
Fang Yue asked about this oil, and it had a fishy and smelly odor, which was very disgusting.
And at this time, even the most careless people had realized that they were in trouble.
"Gather the team! Everyone gather in the middle…"
*Shua*!!
Fang Yue had just said this when a team member holding a Renhun torch suddenly burst into flames.
For a moment, Fang Yue was stunned, then he rushed over, picked up a bucket of water from the team, and poured it directly on him.
*Shua*!!
The flames burning on that person not only were not extinguished by the water, but burned even more vigorously, as if the water had become a fuel for the flames.
In just a moment, the person was screaming and rolling on the ground, begging for help, while others took off their coats or took thick cloths to put out the flames.
But this flame was strangely powerful.
It would not ignite those extremely flammable clothes and thick cloths that were used to pat it out, but instead, it would burn more vigorously as they patted it.
It was as if the more others did, the more vigorously the flames burned.
The screams finally gradually subsided, and the person was completely burned into charcoal, with even the face unrecognizable. Only the skull of charred bones remained, emitting the special fishy and smelly odor of the dripping oil.
The team stopped completely.
Fang Yue's face darkened.
Things happened quickly, and in just a dozen seconds, a person was burned to death.
Fang Yue witnessed the whole process, but did not find any trace of a ghoul.
"Ye… Ye-ge, what exactly is going on? Are we being haunted by a ghoul?"
"Ye-ge, what do we do now? Are we going to stay here and wait for dawn? Should we keep the Renhun torches burning?"
"Ye-ge…"
"Ye-ge!"
These people asked all sorts of questions, which made Fang Yue's head hurt a little. After thinking about it, he called out to someone.
He exited the game in place first.
"Bai Xiaoya?"
"…I'm here."
"I have some problems in the game that need to be resolved, you can help me keep watch for a while, and I'll take over from you after I'm done."
"No need, I'll just keep watch for the whole night."
Fang Yue was silent for a moment, and said, "…I'm informing you, not discussing it with you. Just hang in there for a while longer."
After saying that, he rushed into the game.
Bai Xiaoya looked at his anxious appearance and knew that the things Fang Yue encountered in the game must be quite tricky.
In such an emergency, he even quit the game to inform himself first…
"Idiot."
