Chapter Eleven: Came out to mix but didn't know how to keep a low profile
Until the venomous snake was killed by someone, she didn't realize it, thinking that she had just stepped on a stone. But then she found it strange that this stone felt so soft and squishy, really uncomfortable. She subconsciously looked down and almost fainted... She hated snakes the most! Shit! WTF! I bought a watch last year!
She hastily jumped halfway, then sat on the ground and took off her shoes, throwing them aside with disgust. Only then did she remember why she had stepped on a dead snake. She turned around to see a handsome guy looking at her with concern.
That person looked very honest, and his heart should be too. She pretended to glance at him casually and saw the jade pendant on his waist. The color couldn't be seen, and it was unknown what kind of breed it was, but the workmanship was extremely fine, with every flower pattern carved vividly, depicting two immortals in conversation, which should be a story.
It's really annoying, coming out to mix without knowing how to keep a low profile! Such a good jade pendant was seen and remembered by someone with ill intentions, how can you still walk out of the Betta Forest? Jiang Nian curled his lips, thinking that judging from this situation, he must be a young master of a large family, and since he came out alone, his fantasy power must be very deep. The snake must have been killed by him, but earlier, he didn't feel anyone behind him, it must be because they were originally far apart, and after seeing the venomous snake, he instantly moved over, that strength is at least a Blue Mang Fantasy Master.
These thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and Jiang Nian quickly regained her composure, revealing a frightened expression. She said pitifully, "Thank you, sir, for saving me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see my parents again." When she said the word "slave," Jiang Nian felt disgusted and accidentally bit her tongue, causing some blood to spread in her mouth, making her feel uncomfortable. The last few words were not spoken as smoothly as before. Fortunately, the man just thought she was nervous and didn't notice anything else. He nodded slightly: "Well, Miss, you're fine now. You can rest for a while and then go back. With no strength to truss a chicken, how dare you run around in this deep forest? Hurry up and contact your guardian warrior to take you back." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Nian's response and turned to leave.
Poor Jiang Nian hadn't even reacted yet, and all that was left was the good-looking back of that person's head. Young people from large families usually have guardian warriors accompany them on adventures to enhance their fantasy powers. That person saw that Jiang Nian's clothes were finely made and she didn't have a cautious attitude in the forest, so he thought she was also a young master from some family, who had come alone to explore the depths of the forest without even notifying her warrior. This kind of person he disliked, having no real power but still causing trouble everywhere, what else could they be but a pest? They were all spoiled and had the temperament of a pampered young lady. However, since he had seen her, it was impossible not to save her, so he could only kill the venomous snake, scare her a bit, and let her know the ferocity of the Beta Forest, so she wouldn't dare to come again thinking she's all that.
She thought she was Jiang Nian, sitting on the ground with her legs crossed, pouting and drawing circles. After half a day, she reluctantly took out a new pair of shoes from her storage ring and slowly put them on before walking to the creek. What kind of person is that? So arrogant, yet so sulky. Clearly, she's very kind-hearted, but not even polite, and still trying to intimidate herself with her nose up in the air like a peacock. The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt, but with no outlet for her emotions, she could only go to the creek to splash water around.
However, they met again half an hour later. Jiang Nian had just brought water back at that time, because she didn't know how to use the container in the storage ring to hold water at first, so she sat there fiddling with it for a long time before filling the water, which delayed a lot of time.
But just a few steps away, she heard the sound of swords clashing again. It seemed that another fight had broken out. She hadn't intended to join in on the commotion, but couldn't resist the itchy curiosity in her heart, so she crept back up to the thicket like a thief.
At first glance, she was slightly surprised to find that inside were the peacock man she had seen earlier and another... even more peacock-like man. Was today a meeting of peacocks? Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, remaining silent as he continued to watch the battle unfold. Fight on, fight on, best if both of their peacock feathers get plucked clean. She thought that scene was somewhat comical, her eyes filled with amusement, almost bursting into laughter.
The man who had just saved her, the majestic peacock, shook his soft sword, and his pose was quite powerful, with a regal aura emanating from his bones. As he shook the sword, even the air around him rippled. At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn, his lips pursed into a thin line.
The peacock opposite looked at this situation with great pleasure, his face had an uncontrollable and arrogant smile: "Wu Qi, aren't you very capable? Aren't you amazing? Always opposing me! Now didn't you fall into my trap!" His voice became excited and changed tone towards the end, rising several degrees, sharp enough to pierce people's eardrums, with a hint of crazy pleasure.
Jiang Nian immediately knew who they were as soon as he heard the first sentence, obviously Wu Seventeen and Lan Lun, those two arch-enemies. Suddenly felt a million grass mud horses roaring over his head... It turned out that Wu Seventeen looked like this, so noble and cold, not matching the image settings at all.
Jiang Nian didn't expect to run into Wu Shi Qi earlier, thinking he was just a random passerby. However, his appearance did resemble the description of the second male lead in the book. Wu Shi Qi had an extremely handsome face, a lean and tall build, with eight-pack abs and long legs. His skin was clean and smooth, having been tanned to a beautiful honey color from years of darting through the jungle. His eyebrows were also distinctive, being a light wheat color, and were shaped in a particularly bold and straight manner, almost flying into his temples. His eyes were narrow and long, revealing a strict and sharp temperament when he moved his brows. And on his hand was the soft sword "Bai Ze", which was ranked among the top 100 extreme-grade fantasy weapons in the "Soldier's Spectrum". Jiang Nian wasn't quite sure of its exact ranking, but remembered that "Bai Ze" had been sealed away by someone before, so it was ranked too low and couldn't exert its true strength. It wasn't until later, when it drank the blood of Ling Yu, who was sealed in the fifth city's forbidden land, that the seal was broken.
Lan Leng's appearance was somewhat effeminate, and if his personality were gentle, he would have looked like a refined young noble. However, he had an aura of evil surrounding him, and the dark circles under his eyes made him look like a sickly person.
How did two people end up fighting here? Don't you remember what happened in the story?
Jiang Nian was leaning forward, intently watching the intense battle unfolding before him. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that Lan Leng had a higher chance of winning. In terms of their magical powers, they were roughly equal, but Wu Qi's magic was more stable and solid, while Lan Leng excelled at making sneak attacks. However, Wu Qi was also quite cunning, so it was hard to predict who would emerge victorious. As a reader, she secretly hoped that Wu Qi would win, because Lan Leng had only appeared in the earlier parts of the story and was later discarded along with others when the female lead counterattacked at Ninety-Nine City, never to be seen again.
However, the situation turned out to be unexpected. Wu Shi Qi's soft sword, which was originally aimed at Lan Lun, suddenly made a turn and pointed to the ground. Then his body also softened quickly, relying on the soft sword to support his body, with blood slowly flowing from his mouth, his eyelashes trembling, and his eyes could not open completely.
He was poisoned.
