The Game with Fairies

Chapter 138

“I can’t take it anymore, I feel tired, so tired, I need to rest for a while.”

After dawn, Wei Sandao, seeing the sunlight and the dispersal of the evil creatures, immediately lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

The debuff from Whispering State continuously drained health, and it was obviously very uncomfortable for Wei Sandao.

A magic cultivator of at least the Divine Travel Realm now appeared as weak as someone with tuberculosis.

After Wei Sandao lay down, he stretched his legs and immediately began to snore.

Xiao Yecao, exhausted, leaned on Li Muyang’s shoulder and pitifully said, “Elder Brother, I’m so…”

Before she could finish saying ‘tired,’ the little girl also fell asleep on Li Muyang’s shoulder.

Seeing the two of them sleeping so soundly, Li Muyang didn’t urge them to continue on their journey.

He removed all the tentacles from their bodies, adjusted his sitting position to make Xiao Yecao more comfortable in his arms, and began to wait.

The passage of time in the game sped up, with clouds flying swiftly across the sky.

In three seconds, the sun rose and set, then the moonlight was like water, and the stars filled the sky.

Xiao Yecao and Wei Sandao, who had slept for an entire day, gradually opened their eyes.

“Let’s go, continue on our way.”

Wei Sandao stretched lazily and yawned, “Kid, can you drain less vitality with that evil technique you used to help me avoid the evil creatures? You’re almost turning me into a dried-up husk.”

Wei Sandao was somewhat dissatisfied. But the brute just complained and the three continued on their way.

Xiao Yecao, still groggy, clung to Li Muyang’s hand, almost hanging on him.

“Elder Brother, why don’t we just fly out of here…”

Xiao Yecao asked, puzzled: “Wouldn’t it be quick to fly out?”

The primitive jungle outside Black Cloud Village was extremely dense, with only a winding mountain path leading to the outside world.

The nearest town was a hundred li away. And to walk out of the Myriad Great Mountains, one would have to travel five hundred li north.

For ordinary people, this was a long distance. But for a demonic cultivator like Wei Sandao, this distance was short.

Li Muyang looked up at the night sky and said, “It’s better to walk slowly.”

The night sky was filled with stars, but the starry sky over the Myriad Great Mountains was different from the outside.

In a previous save, he had tried to fly out. But as soon as the three of them took off, the star-filled night sky suddenly split open, revealing a gigantic eye.

Under the gaze of that blood-red eyeball, Li Muyang and the others instantly turned to ash.

The entire Black Cloud Village and the surrounding land were steeped in evil. But ordinary people couldn’t trigger those evil creatures.

If it weren’t for this time escorting Wei Sandao away, Li Muyang wouldn’t have discovered how strange this land was.

Not long after the three set out in the night, the grating sound of gongs and drums echoed in the dark forest.

Soon after, a vermilion, eerie palanquin appeared in the wilderness. The Living God appeared again.

Li Muyang immediately used his tentacles to wrap the three of them up, avoiding the Living God’s perception.

However, in another direction from the Living God, sad cries echoed from the shadows.

A tall, thin woman, ten zhang high, wearing a tattered blood-stained robe, ran crying through the mountains.

“My child… my child…”

The eerily tall woman was extremely thin, her skin pale and bloodless under the moonlight.

She ran through the mountains, with the bamboo and trees of the forest only reaching as high as her waist.

Such a bizarre and terrifying creature made Li Muyang’s eyes widen in shock.

Above the woman’s head was a red skull health bar.

?The Mourning Widow?

The chilly wind in the mountains grew even colder.

Xiao Yecao and Wei Sandao both changed color, their bodies stiffening involuntarily.

“It’s the Mourning Widow!”

This new creature that had appeared was visible to Xiao Yecao and Wei Sandao.

And they recognized it.

Li Muyang was completely baffled.

Xiao Yecao quickly explained, “This is the legendary Mourning Widow, said to be a woman who went mad and turned into a monster after her son died.”

“She hides by the roadside, crying to lure people over and then eats them alive. Adults love to use her to scare children.”

After finishing, Xiao Yecao looked fearfully at the Mourning Widow above them and said, “I never imagined the Mourning Widow would be so tall…”

Li Muyang carefully wrapped the three of them in his tentacles, afraid to let any breath escape.

One living god was already terrifying enough, and now there was a ten-zhang-tall Mourning Widow.

The three of them kept running and dodging through the mountains, and although the creatures couldn’t find them, they seemed to sense Wei Sandao’s general location.

Within this range, the three had to keep dodging, and they couldn’t make too big movements or move too quickly. If they went too fast and the tentacles couldn’t keep up, Wei Sandao would be exposed and targeted by the creatures.

This challenge tested Li Muyang’s control over his tentacles and his coordination with Wei Sandao, allowing almost no room for error.

A single slip-up would mean instant death.

Whenever the living god’s moonlight fell, Li Muyang and the others would instantly freeze into ice sculptures.

The Mourning Widow would cry and laugh, spewing out foul-smelling blood.

If they were sprayed with her blood, the three of them would immediately turn into infants in swaddling clothes, losing all their abilities, and then watch helplessly as they were picked up by the Mourning Widow and chewed up in her mouth.

Such a death was too much for Li Muyang, a seasoned gamer, to bear—it was a serious sanity drain.

He died seven times before he became familiar with the movements and attack patterns of the living god and the Mourning Widow.

Thanks to the experience gained from those seven deaths, Li Muyang successfully led Xiao Yecao and Wei Sandao through the mountains filled with creatures and once again saw the rising sun.

“Damn, that was exhausting!”

Seeing the sun appear, Wei Sandao, who had turned pale again, collapsed straight down, and immediately began snoring.

Xiao Yecao also weakly fell into Li Muyang’s arms, stiff and motionless in her sleep.

If it weren’t for their breathing, Li Muyang would almost suspect he had drained them dry.

“At this rate, getting out of here is going to be difficult.”

Li Muyang looked up at the sky and sighed.

During the day, the two needed to rest and recuperate, regaining their strength, while at night they faced the pursuit of creatures and couldn’t run too fast.

Last night there was one Mourning Widow, what about tonight?

As time in the game passed quickly, Li Muyang, after waiting three seconds, watched the sun rapidly complete a circuit in the sky.

Finally, the moon rose, and the stars filled the sky.

The chilly wind came in gusts, and Xiao Yecao and Wei Sandao were forced to get up from the ground and start moving.

“Damnnit. Another one today?”

Wei Sandao looked ahead at the forest with a mix of surprise and doubt, feeling the chill wind was even more penetrating than last night.

This was clearly a sign that the number of creatures had increased.

Li Muyang, who could see all the creatures, swallowed hard, “Not just one, there are two more…”

The two new creatures that appeared tonight, like the living god, were invisible to Xiao Yecao and Wei Sandao.

But Li Muyang could see them clearly.

One was draped in a tattered opera robe, its pale face covered in cheap makeup cracked all over, and its crimson lips split to the roots of its ears, smiling brilliantly—Lady Bai Li.

The other creature was a head as large as a house, with a ferocious face, exaggerated features, green face and fangs, wearing a black hat—Lord Wu.

Four bosses, each with a red skull health bar, chased the shadows of Li Muyang and the others through the forest, and the chilly wind grew even colder.

Li Muyang sighed, “More and more creatures are appearing, and the difficulty is going to get higher.”

He had thought this level wasn’t too difficult after dying only seven times to get through one night.

Now he realized it wasn’t that it wasn’t difficult, but that the real challenge was yet to come.

With this trend, as more creatures appear, the difficulty naturally escalates exponentially.

This level was going to be a real challenge.
