“You’re still here.”

The village chief raised his eyelids and looked at the man standing in front of him and the group of giant pythons behind him. There was no surprise on his thin face.

Lei Yin raised his eyebrows: “You recognized me a long time ago? I thought I was well disguised.”

He smiled, and said again: “But it’s been a long time since I saw you, you have become so haggard, Yang Duo.”

The last time we met, was it more than ten years ago or more than twenty years ago? At that time, he remembered that Yang Duo was still a strong middle-aged man, but now he has completely turned into a skinny old man.

“It’s all thanks to you.” The village head said coldly.

In Nasuru, the position of the village head is generally hereditary, and he is the son of the former village head who was bewitched by the magician and made a big mistake.

“No, no, no.” Lei Yin repeatedly denied, “How can you blame me? It’s obvious that you are stupid and credulous, but you don’t know how to use the treasure mountain when you have nothing. I just can’t stand it and want to help you.”

He tilted his head and let out a strange laugh: “In the final analysis, isn’t it the holy tree you believe in that made you like this? Why don’t you go to it to settle accounts, but instead come to blame me?”

Lei Yin was once a well-known magician of the Royal Society of Magicians, but since he was discovered to study the taboo magic that turns humans into magical creations, he was expelled from the association.

However, this did not stop his determination to continue studying that magic. Before being expelled from the association, he accepted a disciple from Nasuru.

——That disciple is Zhuo Yang.

At that time, Lei Yin was already deeply involved, and his magic research was stuck in a bottleneck. Lacking experimental materials, he even turned his ideas on his daughter and nephew.

He hadn’t even figured out whether he wanted to prolong human life through this magic for his original ideal, obtain the power of monsters, and then become famous in history, or simply wanted to get a result.

——He has paid too much for this, and he cannot bear the consequences of failure.

The arrival of Zhuo Yang brought him hope. The research found that his physique was very special, and the magic effect on him was excellent. It happened that Zhuo Yang was so convinced by him that he almost answered every question.

As a result, Lei Yin got two important pieces of information – Nasuru and the Holy Tree.

On the one hand, he arranged for the successful experimental product Zhuo Yang to breed with his daughter, the semi-finished product of the experiment, with the intention of obtaining a genetically more perfect next generation, and on the other hand, he set off for Nasuru.

As soon as he arrived here, he felt the strong magic element in the air. After his patient search, he discovered that there was a huge reserve of magic ore hidden underground in Nasuru.

This is a great boon for magicians, but to get them, the first thing he needs to face is the magic plant that has been entrenched in Nasuru for many years and is revered by the local residents—the holy tree.

The sacred tree, which has been rooted in the magic ore for many years, is naturally not so easy to deal with. Even though he incited the villagers and tried his best, in the end, he had no choice but to flee and lost the magic puppet he had finally made.

After returning to the imperial capital, the second bad news came—his good disciple Zhuo Yang actually developed feelings for his daughter, and the two destroyed the laboratory while he was away, and fled back to Nasuru.

But what they didn’t expect was that Lei Yin had already cast surveillance magic on them. If necessary, he even manipulated his daughter to kill Zhuo Yang.

Although their behaviour was beyond his expectations, it also provided him with a new way of thinking. After Zhuo Yang and his daughter died, Lei Yin manipulated their child, the little spotted white python, to continue his plan.

The magic ore was found as he had arranged, but at the same time, he lost another puppet, and almost took his only remaining experimental product ― his nephew, at the same time, the rumours of Narusu’s python infestation also began to spread. Taking advantage of the magic plant’s injury, he set off for Nasuru again.

This time his goal is not just magic ore, he also wants all the residents of Nasuru to be his experimental materials.

He deceived those so-called brave men to obtain his daughter’s snake slough to develop a more powerful catalyst. At the same time, he also controlled the exiled villagers after the last betrayal and turned them into giant pythons one by one.

Everything was going according to his plan, except for the brave man who came to him and said that he wanted to form an alliance with him.

The first time he saw that person, he knew that they were the same kind of people, and they would use whatever means to achieve their goals, so he agreed of course.

However, judging from the feedback from Ah Luo, the state of his alliance seems to be a bit bad.

Of course, his situation does not seem to be good.

Lei Yin looked at Na Duo Sha who suddenly appeared behind the village head with an indifferent face, holding a white leather drum in her hand, and said coldly: “You still want to provoke our relationship with the holy tree? How could the ancestors have survived in Nasuru if it wasn’t for the sacred tree? Before you appeared, we relied on the protection of the sacred tree to survive here for thousands of years. Because of your appearance, it brought disaster to us. “

Lei Yin didn’t pay attention to what he said at all, his eyes were fixed on the white skin drum, and he suddenly laughed strangely: “So that’s how it is, I was actually tricked by you.”

What he got was not a real snake slough at all, the real snake slough had already been made into the leather drum in Na Duo Sha’s hand, through which, Na Duo Sha could easily command the python he created, this time he failed completely.

“But this is not the end…” He said this, although he was surrounded by the rebellious python, there was no trace of fear on his face.

The rest of the words got stuck in his throat, and he suddenly showed an expression of disbelief: “How could it be! How did he find out—ah!”

His body fell to the ground, revealing the puppet’s true face, and at the same time, a vine emerged from his real body’s chest thousands of miles away.

——From the moment Kan Lan’er hid the seed in the fake snake slough and handed it to him, the ending was already doomed.

Until the end, Lei Yin didn’t want to understand why, his hiding place was so hidden, why he was found, but he never had a chance to think about it again.

……

In the forest, without Lei Yin’s control, the giant python transformed by Ah Luo suddenly showed a dazed look.

But no one noticed this change, and everyone’s attention was on Ka’er.

To be precise, it was on the long sword in his hand.

Ka’er watched Luo Yin stop walking forward with satisfaction, and couldn’t help laughing ‘hehe’, “What, are you scared?”

He looked at Shi Xue Li: “All you can do is weaken the connection with me, but you can’t really break the blood contract. But this time, even if you want to let blood, you can’t do it, right?”

A wound also appeared on his finger at some point, and the bright red blood condensed into a droplet-like water on the fingertip.

A blood contract is a contract that connects the lives of both parties, and the one who makes the contract controls the one who makes the contract.

Luo Yin had been researching for a long time, but he couldn’t find a way to break the blood contract. He could only weaken his connection with Shi Xue Li by causing Ka’er’s blood to be lost in large quantities.

As long as he was killed during this period, although Shi Xue Li would suffer damage, the damage would not cause death. But if Ka’er makes a blood contract with Xia Nuo at this time, then Ka’er dies, and Xia Nuo is destined to suffer fatal injuries.

The man’s eyes had condensed, and Ka’er taunted him: “Why, now you can’t act like you have nothing to do with yourself? You can’t even protect your beloved, you are really incompetent!”

As he spoke, he pressed his fingers hard on the sword. The vines that sprang out quickly were a step too late, and could only hover over the back of his heart, watching the blood of the two blend together.

“Stop!” The female scream was clearly discernible at this moment.

Although Xia Nuo still didn’t know what happened, he could feel that the man’s fingers suddenly became icy cold, as cold as ice when held in his hand.

But very strangely, Xia Nuo felt a warm current pouring into his body, and his tired spirit suddenly lifted up.

His condition has never been so good, except that the man’s fingers suddenly tightened, which made him feel a little painful, everything was fine and couldn’t be better.

Xia Nuo even had an inexplicable premonition that his narcolepsy would never recur in the future.

Outside, the people who couldn’t stop them could only watch Ka’er show a smug expression, but the next moment, his expression froze on his face.

There was a ‘he he’ sound in his throat, and his pale face became even more terrifying. He widened his eyes and looked at his fingers in disbelief as if he had discovered something extremely terrifying.

“What’s wrong with him?” Kui Ke couldn’t help being a little worried. Could this be some new trick he came up with?

Shi Xue Li shook her head, expressing that she didn’t know that, when she signed the blood contract with Ka’er, this situation didn’t happen.

“Strange… monster…”

Ka’er shook his head, desperately trying to force the words out of his throat, and then he fell to the ground, his body shrank rapidly, like a withered plant, which lost all the water and shrunk to one-third of its original size.

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Yin stepped forward even though he suspected that it might be a disguise made by Ka’er.

He lightly touched the body that fell to the ground with the shield and then heard a sound like paper crumpling. Pieces of skin peeled off Ka’er’s body, and his flesh and blood seemed to have disappeared.

“…Dead.” Luo Yin said in a complicated manner, feeling a little dazed.

The method he had found so hard to annihilate the soul was useless, and Ka’er died so easily, which made him feel unreal.

And this time he died completely because the player’s death that can be rolled back will not leave a corpse in the game.

Shi Xue Li’s words brought him back to reality: “Is Chang An okay?”

Everyone looked at the man standing next to the cocoon.

“He’s fine.” The man said in a cold tone.

The boy’s fingers were still warm, conveying a warm warmth to him, saving him from extreme panic.

Until now, his fingers are still stiff and unable to move.

It is undeniable that Ka’er did have a good sentence. He did not protect the boy well, so he should take it as a warning.

The man didn’t want other people to verify the safety of the young man with his own eyes at all. He hugged the cocoon for a few ups and downs and disappeared in place, leaving only Shi Xue Li and the others looking at each other in dismay.

……

“Chang An, we are leaving here.”

Shi Xue Li and Luo Yin stood in front of the door, smiling and saying goodbye to the young man, Kui Ke had already left. After Ah Luo got out of Lei Yin’s control, he also chose to live his life in other places, and they made a special trip to say goodbye to Xia Nuo.

Luo Yin, who had shaved off his beard and tidied up his appearance, has revealed his original appearance, which is almost similar to Shi Xue Li. No matter how you look at it, the girlish and soft appearance doesn’t match his burly figure.

But this can’t be helped, he and Shi Xue Li are twin siblings, and they have similar appearances, Luo Yin has a long beard, but he just doesn’t want to show his true colours, but now he doesn’t care about these.

“I really want to thank you this time, Chang An, and Kan Lan’er.” Shi Xue Li looked at the man standing behind the young man, “Thank you for helping my brother as well.”

They formed an alliance on the night of the first day. The man caught Luo Yin who had sneaked up the mountain, but instead of killing him, he let him go.

Although the so-called alliance at the beginning was just a small game used by men for entertainment, it has a huge effect on them.

“I also want to thank you, Shi Xue Li, you really helped me a lot.” Xia Nuo also thanked her earnestly, whether it was the enlightenment at the beginning or the hourglass she gave him later, it was very important to him.

The four of them talked through a door, the upper part of which was transparent. Through the glass, Shi Xue Li saw the numerous hickey marks on the boy’s neck and collarbone.

She couldn’t help laughing: “Chang An, sometimes it is very important to teach lovers ‘temperance’.”

Xia Nuo, “……”

“Goodbye, I wish you happiness.”

Shi Xue Li waved her hand at him, her figure gradually became transparent, and mist appeared in her beautiful eyes, which contained joy, reluctance, and more relief.

In any case, she finally got rid of her nightmare.

The man wrapped his arms around Xia Nuo’s waist from behind, buried his head in his neck and kept rubbing, mumbling very childishly: “Finally, I hate anyone who distracts you, no one.”

“…” Xia Nuo let him do what he did, and after a moment of silence, he actually said, “I think what she said makes sense, so give me the key.”

The man, “……”

Since the man took Xia Nuo away last time, he overkilled and locked him in this room. Food and water are all available, and he can quickly bring what Xia Nuo wants.

Only one thing, he didn’t let Xia Nuo leave the room easily.

——Just like Shi Xue Li came over just now, they could only say goodbye through the door.

In the beginning, Xia Nuo was very considerate to him, but after a long time, he also noticed the clue.

Maybe it was because of the shock at first, but later on, the man acted recklessly relying on Xia Nuo’s indulgence to him, the hickey on Xia Nuo’s body is the best evidence.

Although the man didn’t raise his head, Xia Nuo knew that his expression must be very reluctant, so he couldn’t help saying: “You have hidden so many things from me, and I haven’t even settled with you.”

The man knew and even promoted the occurrence of all this, but kept him in the dark, watching him worry about it.

Thinking of this, Xia Nuo even had the urge to beat up the man.

“I ask for an amnesty, sir.” The man said without hesitation, the right to pardon that time was prepared for this.

“……”

Xia Nuo also thought of this, couldn’t help puffing up his cheeks, and looked at him angrily: “Where’s the key?”

“The door is unlocked, and you don’t need a key.” Seeing that the situation was not good, the man resolutely gave in. Seeing the young man twist open the door and about to go out, he asked eagerly again, “Is what you promised me last time still count?”

He was talking about the conditions that the young man agreed to for the heart of the tree last time.

In fact, it is also very simple, the man asked him to give him a good night kiss every day, the deadline, he very wisely set for the boy to still like him every day.

“What do you think?” Xia Nuo asked back with a smile.

Since the heart of the tree was not obtained, the transaction was naturally not established.

……

At night, the man lay upright on the bed.

He was originally a plant that didn’t need to sleep, not to mention the empty body in his arms at this moment, without the body exuding the familiar temperature, he even lost the desire to close his eyes.

Do you want to attack at night?

He thought very seriously.

‘Dang dang dang.’ There was a knock on the door suddenly.

The man’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly opened the door and saw the young man standing in front of the door with his head raised, a sly smile blooming on his face.

“Good evening.”

The teenager stood on tiptoe, and a wet kiss fell on the man’s forehead.
