Chapter 176 Origins
Ji Xingyi suddenly thought of something and interrupted Jiang Lin, asking curiously, "If I hadn't emerged from the blood pool on my own, how were you going to save me?"
Jiang Lin's smile froze. Oh no, if Xingyi was an idiot, Jiang Lin wouldn't like him, but being too smart wasn't all good either. He actually found a loophole.
With a single thought, Ji Xing wrapped his arms around the young man's waist, his fingertips caressing the delicate skin of his lower back, kissing from his earlobe to his neck, until Jiang Lin's heart rate quickened.
"You!" Jiang Lin glared at Ji Xingyi, then chuckled, slightly out of breath, "You tried to use your feminine wiles on me?"
How did this usually stubborn man suddenly come to his senses?
Jiang Lin couldn't help but look at the four people in the blood pool. Her man had even resorted to seduction to save them.
Ji Xingyi forcefully turned the young man's head back with a serious expression and used Jiang Lin's favorite deep kiss: "Don't you like it?"
"I love it!" Jiang Lin really fell for it. After giving the man a nonchalant glare, she was showered with kisses, making her heart flutter with joy.
Seeing the two fighting more and more fiercely, Yingniang, who was in the blood pool, couldn't help but extend a blood tentacle from the pool and slap it twice on the floor tiles as a warning.
Yingniang: Even though I'm no longer human, you still shouldn't treat me like I'm not human!
Jiang Lin was getting carried away when the BOSS interrupted him, and he gave him a cold look in annoyance.
Ji Xingyi asked in a low voice, "Linlin, can you tell me now?"
Upon hearing this, the tentacle that was about to retract into the blood pool quietly extended an even smaller tentacle from the side.
Jiang Lin glanced at him disdainfully, then switched to another language to communicate with Ji Xingyi.
The tentacles froze, almost as if they were placing a question mark on the ground. Were they bullying her because she had never been to school?
Jiang Lin: "If you don't escape, I will take advantage of her weakness."
Ji Xingyi asked in surprise, "What is her weakness?"
Jiang Lin: "Her physical weaknesses are not weaknesses to you at all. You cannot subdue her with your limited strength alone."
The life forms in this other world cannot be defeated by a few ordinary humans wielding melee weapons. The gameplay of this dungeon doesn't allow players to kill the boss, so the condition for evacuation is obtaining the Beauty Fan.
The Beauty Fan will eventually fall into Jin Lushan's hands; the dungeon designer has actually set Jin Lushan as the player's opponent.
“But we can exploit human weaknesses.” Jiang Lin smiled. “As long as she has humanity, she will have weaknesses.”
Ji Xingyi understood: the BOSS had no weaknesses, but Yingniang did. And they had all seen her before—it was that young man named Azhao!
Jiang Lin: "From a game perspective, if the system has set up such a powerful BOSS, it will definitely provide players with a way to defeat it."
Azhao is a tool to counter the BOSS.
Jiang Lin walked to the white jade table, intending to first paint a batch of fan paintings to buy some time. Jin Lushan wasn't so easily fooled; if he didn't show Jiang Lin something, that guy wouldn't let him off the hook.
Ji Xing glanced at Jing Kang and the others, then walked to Jiang Lin's side.
Jiang Lin told them to sit down and rest. They were safe for the time being and there was no danger. Ji Xing wanted to stay with Jiang Lin, but his body was already at its limit, so he obediently closed his eyes to rest. Even if they got the Beauty Fan, they still needed to find a way to deal with Jin Lushan, because the escape point for the dungeon was at the Three Lives Bridge, and there was still a long way to go to break through the dungeon from the Three Lives Bridge.
Jiang Lin rubbed the man's head, and after feeling that Ji Xingyi's breathing had stabilized, she began to paint the fan.
The underground palace was shrouded in darkness, while the sun was already high in the sky outside.
Chen Jiangqiao and Wang Zhe met unexpectedly outside Jin Lushan's residence. Chen Jiangqiao pulled Wang Zhe back from climbing over the wall.
"Chi Xuan and Guo Xinwen have both been arrested! They must be in danger!" Wang Zhe was anxious about Jiang Lin's safety and wanted to rush in to save them immediately.
"Where's your brain!" Chen Jiangqiao was initially a bit angry, but he calmed down instantly when he saw that Wang Zhe was even more impulsive than him.
"What should we do then?" Wang Zhe punched his fist in frustration.
“Jiang Lin is no ordinary person, I believe he has a way!” Although Chen Jiangqiao didn’t quite believe in Jiang Lin’s character, he had complete faith in Jiang Lin’s abilities.
"But we have to do something, right?" Wang Zhe said anxiously.
Chen Jiangqiao paced back and forth on the ground, gritting his teeth: "Let's just burn the whole Qingxi down!"
Previously, they had only burned down the eastern part of the town using feints, leaving the old houses in the western part untouched. Since they had already broken ties with Jin Lushan, they decided to burn everything down!
"Still burning?" Wang Zhe was speechless.
"How many can the two of us fight?" Chen Jiangqiao said helplessly, "They'll definitely go to rest after they've put out the fires this morning. If we set off another batch, it'll exhaust them to death!"
"You might as well just poison them!" Wang Zhe curled his lip. "Pour some arsenic or some five-poison powder into the well, and they'll all die!"
Chen Jiangqiao paused for a moment, then looked at Wang Zhe with a strange expression: "You really..."
Wang Zhe thought Chen Jiangqiao was going to say the word "immoral".
But to my surprise, I heard the words "Awesome!"
Wang Zhe's body stiffened, looking startled: "You don't actually have a crush on me, do you? Why are you suddenly talking so disgustingly?"
Chen Jiangqiao was furious and kicked Wang Zhe hard. Some people really can't be praised, or they'll go to heaven!
Time passed slowly, and Ji Xingyi unknowingly entered a strange dream.
He found himself floating on a river. The sky was black, without any light, but he could still see that the river water beneath him was blood-red, and the blood would flow into his eyes with the rise and fall of the waves.
Ji Xingyi's mind seemed to freeze. She didn't know who she was, where she was, why she was there, or where she was going with the River of Blood.
Countless years passed in a daze, and suddenly a crack appeared in the dark sky!
Ji Xingyi awoke from the chaos with a start and excitedly headed towards the crack. He was finally about to escape this dark and void realm!
In the instant the crack appeared, Ji Xingyi's body dissolved instantly, and his consciousness melted into droplets of blood, which slowly dripped from the sky like tears of blood.
A sudden burst of light, as if from another world.
The familiar feeling slightly restored Ji Xingyi's rationality, and he used his mind to gather his body, which had turned into blood, back together little by little.
He became a pool of blood, lingering in this colorful world.
Humans are the dominant species in this world. They chatter incessantly; it's annoying, irritating, and makes me want to eat them all.
But the laws of this world are suppressing and restricting him.
Because Blood River does not belong to this world, and the laws of this world are driving him away.
Perhaps, I need a body that belongs to this world. Ji Xingyi looked at these humans and fell into deep thought. Then, taking advantage of the darkness, he stretched out a tentacle and grabbed a drunk human.
