Chapter 2242: Chapter 2242: Medicine Shocks the World (27)
Jing Po heard Wu Yue and Chuzheng talking, and slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes, and looked bleary-eyed at the people in the room.
The bell on his wrist jingled, sounding incongruous in the silent night.
"Did we wake you up?"
The young man put down his hand from rubbing his eyes: "What are you... talking about?"
"Nothing, go back to sleep."
"Ah! I can do this!!" As soon as Chuzheng finished speaking, they heard a female Spiritual Body scream sharply from that direction.
It was very much like a fan seeing a celebrity in person.
"He’s next to that woman."
With this statement, the Spiritual Body suddenly calmed down.
It was probably feeling that it wouldn’t be able to do the same.
Jing Po couldn’t see them, so naturally, he couldn’t hear these words, and at this time, he was looking at Chuzheng with a blank expression.
Chuzheng told Jing Po that there were Spiritual Bodies here, and Jing Po gave an ’oh’ without any other response.
Chuzheng’s gaze swept over them, these Spiritual Bodies... if the Evil Spirit didn’t deceive her, she had a suppressing effect on all Spiritual Bodies.
Therefore...
"You, come here." Chuzheng pointed at a girl in blue among the Spiritual Bodies.
The girl in blue was suddenly called out, and she innocently pointed at herself, as if unsure Chuzheng was calling her.
The other Spiritual Bodies tacitly took a step back, allowing the girl in blue to be pushed to the forefront.
The girl in blue turned her head to look around, glaring at them angrily.
The Spiritual Bodies looked up at the sky or ground, just not at her.
That woman gave them a very bad feeling... it was like an instinctual fear.
The girl in blue was naturally afraid too, she hesitated and came over: "Wh...at?"
"What were you choosing among yourselves?" These Spiritual Bodies all seemed aggressive, what are they here for?
The girl in blue glanced at Jing Po and suddenly showed a sweet smile.
Jing Po couldn’t see the Spiritual Bodies, but he just felt something was off and instinctively leaned closer to Chuzheng.
The girl in blue made eye contact with Chuzheng and immediately took a step back, asking fearfully: "You... you came here, knowing nothing?"
This woman is really terrifying!
"You’ll know once you tell me." Chuzheng said confidently.
"..."
The girl in blue had nothing to say.
"You came here just for mystical artifacts."
Chuzheng: "..." What mystical artifacts can be found in this rundown town?
The girl in blue pointed to the Spiritual Bodies behind her: "Choose any one of them, and you can enter the Secret Realm, whether you can obtain treasure depends on your abilities."
"Are all Secret Realms the same?"
"Of course not, otherwise why choose..." The girl in blue mumbled softly.
Chuzheng: "..." Such an interesting setup?
One Spiritual Body equals one Secret Realm?
"What if you don’t choose?"
"If you haven’t chosen by the first light, you’ll be devoured by this town."
"Devoured?" Wu Yue asked.
"Meaning you’ll die." The girl in blue pouted: "Are you choosing or not?"
"Are there any others here besides us?"
The girl in blue hesitated to respond but couldn’t resist Chuzheng’s gaze: "Yes..."
"Where are they?"
"Dead."
"..."
The girl in blue didn’t understand why Chuzheng suddenly fell silent and took two steps back: "You... you can just choose one, we can let you pass through quickly."
Though unsure why she was afraid of her, since she’s fearful, they better not offend.
Opening a backdoor isn’t a big deal.
Seeing that Chuzheng remained unresponsive, the girl in blue clenched her teeth and reluctantly pointed at Jing Po: "He... he can go with you too."
Wu Yue: "..." I’m still here!
Chuzheng completely ignored what the girl in blue said: "Let me ask you a question."
"...Hmm?"
"Do you know where Zhixi and the River of Forgetfulness are?"
The girl in blue’s eyes darted around: "The River of Forgetfulness is just the river outside; Zhixi is Sister Miao’s Guardian Beast. Why are you looking for it?"
Guardian Beast?
Do Spiritual Bodies need Guardian Beasts?
Since Zhixi’s whereabouts were confirmed, Chuzheng wasn’t in a hurry, and continued questioning another one: "I’m not looking for the river, I’m looking for the Forgetfulness Tree."
"..."
The girl in blue, along with the group of Spiritual Bodies behind her, changed their expressions.
"Seems like you know about it," Chuzheng was highly satisfied.
"I... don’t... know." The girl in blue retreated, then dashed away: "I know nothing!"
The other Spiritual Bodies did the same.
"Bang!"
The door automatically closed, but the Spiritual Bodies didn’t think the closing of the door affected them, and rushed straight out.
Then...
All Spiritual Bodies crashed into each other, like a scene from a rear-end collision.
Wu Yue vaguely saw silver threads covering the doors and windows when the Spiritual Bodies hit them.
However, in a blink, it couldn’t be seen anymore.
The doors and windows were still just doors and windows.
Only that group of Spiritual Bodies stuck together, pressed against the doors and windows.
"Wh... what kind of person are you!" one of the Spiritual Bodies shouted.
"Just answer my question, tell me where the Forgetfulness Tree is, and I’ll let you go."
"I... I, I, I don’t know!"
"Your reaction says you do. Are you treating me like a three-year-old?"
The Spiritual Bodies fell silent for a while, then suddenly started accusing each other internally.
"It’s all your fault, why did you run?"
The girl in blue whimpered: "I was scared!"
"This woman is really sinister. Though so many have come here, she’s the first that made me scared."
"Me too..."
"I almost couldn’t resist telling her."
"Did she cast some evil spell on us?"
Wu Yue listened to the Spiritual Bodies discussing evil spells and couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
Their existence is pretty sinister themselves, how do they have the nerve to call others sinister?
Also, this progression seems somewhat off...
-
Under Chuzheng’s intimidation and persuasion, the Spiritual Bodies, reluctantly led her to their destination.
Their direction was still towards the River of Forgetfulness.
However, the path was slightly different from what Chuzheng and the others had taken, winding in several circles before reaching their destination.
The girl in blue was mercilessly pushed out, and she stomped her foot, pointing tearfully at a deadwood in the middle of the riverbed: "That’s the Forgetfulness Tree."
"..."
Just this??
It’s already withered!
"Is it?" Chuzheng, unfamiliar with it, could only ask the Good Person Card.
"It’s too... far, I can’t be sure."
Chuzheng took Jing Po down, the tree on the riverbed didn’t look any different from a dead willow.
Jing Po circled the withered tree for a while: "It should be..."
Chuzheng: "Then dig it up."
The girl in blue nearly collapsed, almost kneeling to Chuzheng: "What... why are you digging it up?"
"If I’m not going to dig it up, why would I come looking for it?"
The girl in blue cried: "You can’t dig up this tree!"
"Why?"
"Just can’t!"
"It’s... already withered, it’s of no use to me." Jing Po tugged on Chuzheng’s sleeve, his brows slightly furrowed with disappointment.
The girl in blue nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, it’s withered, so digging it up won’t help."
The more those Spiritual Bodies don’t want it dug up, the more suspicious it proves.
Chuzheng confidently said: "Can’t I just dig it up for decoration?"
Are you crazy!
The girl in blue almost cursed aloud.
