Jiujiu glanced at Zhao Xian, then turned to look at Zhang Jinkang and asked, "How many times have you played this game?"
Zhang Jinkang glanced sideways at Jiujiu. "My second time. What about you?"
"My first time."
Zhang Jinkang was surprised to hear Jiujiu say that it was her first time. "You don't look like someone who's playing for the first time at all."
"What should a first-time gamer be like?"
"Panicked, helpless, and neurotic."
Even someone as calm as him would be exceptionally neurotic the first time he played a game. He even had nightmares for several days after he survived.
Jiujiu, on the other hand, looked like a young girl who was calm and composed. She did not look like someone who was playing games for the first time at all.
"What did you do before you came here?"
"I'm a Taoist priest," Zhang Jinkang answered quickly.
If Zhang Jinkang was a Taoist priest, then it made sense why he was here.
Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang looked at Zhao Xian for a while, then turned to go downstairs to wait for Wang Nan and Li Yu.
The two of them waited for half an hour before they saw Wang Nan and Li Yu, who were covered in steam.
Li Yu's face had been sour the whole time, so they could not tell anything.
Wang Nan's expression, on the other hand, was particularly strange.
Her face was not sour, but it was exceptionally pale as if someone had drained her of her blood. Especially under her eyelids, there were bruises, and she looked as if she had aged ten years in an instant.
Li Yu ran his fingers through his wet hair and looked at Wang Nan. "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?"
Wang Nan felt her bones go weak, and her heart felt like it was being squeezed by a hand. It was so uncomfortable that she could not breathe.
However, Wang Nan's competitive personality prevented her from expressing her pain. She only smiled and said, "I was disgusted just now. Where are we going later?"
Anyone who was splattered with flesh and blood would be disgusted. Hearing Wang Nan's answer, Li Yu did not continue asking.
After all, he was also disgusted.
As for where to go, the team had listened to Wang Nan and Zhang Jinkang. Now that Wang Nan had taken the initiative to ask, Li Yu naturally looked at Zhang Jinkang, asking for his opinion with his eyes.
Zhang Jinkang took a sip of the tea on the table. "Let's go to the river."
Yesterday, Tang Song and Qian Li were thrown down. Today, the one who died was Zhao Xian. If the person who was thrown down this time was Zhao Xian, then he could guess something.
The four of them came to the riverside again.
This time, they did not have to wait for long before they saw the group from before arrive at the riverside again. This time, they brought along Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian was thrown directly into the water, and then there was an ear-piercing chewing sound.
However, after the chewing sound this time, they did not hear a satisfied burp. The water surface became agitated again.
The people who had walked far away once again returned to the riverside, and then they heard the pleading of the elder from before.
The elder pleaded for a long time, and finally promised to bring more food the next day. Only then did the river finally calm down.
The four of them quickly left. Li Yu mumbled as he walked, "What the hell is in that river?"
"Why don't you go down and take a look?"
Wang Nan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this.
Although Wang Nan used to be quite domineering, she would never say such harsh words.
Moreover, Wang Nan's voice seemed to be a little different from before.
Previously, Wang Nan's voice was more like the indifference of a mature woman. Now, it was cold and sinister.
Li Yu was a man who was pampered by women. After hearing Wang Nan's words, he immediately scolded her. "Wang Nan, are you crazy? Why don't you jump down and see what's in there?"
Li Yu had just said it casually.
Jiujiu and the other two did not think much of it. However, Li Yu did not expect Wang Nan to jump into the river right after he said that.
Just like the offerings, Wang Nan lost her breath the moment she touched the water, and sank to the bottom of the river.
Then, there was an ear-piercing chewing sound.
The three of them felt a chill down their spines, especially Jiujiu. It was the first time she had seen such a scene. She was covered in a layer of white sweat.
The chewing sound lasted for less than five minutes before it completely stopped. This time, what they heard was not a satisfied burp, but a thirsty swallowing sound.
In other words, the unknown monster in the river was especially coveting the three of them.
Li Yu was shocked by Wang Nan's action of jumping into the river. Now that he heard the sound, he screamed and ran away.
Looking at Li Yu's back, Jiujiu turned her pale face to look at Zhang Jinkang, who was as pale as her, and asked, "What do we do now?"
It was obvious that the three of them had been targeted by the unknown monster in the river.
Although Zhang Jinkang's face was pale, he was not as frightened as Jiujiu. Zhang Jinkang swallowed his saliva. "Let's go back first."
In this situation, they could only go back first. After all, it was getting late. If they continued to stay here, it would not be good if the monster in the river came up.
The two of them returned to the inn, but Li Yu did not return.
Instead, Chen Xiaoyao came back.
Chen Xiaoyao sat in the seat they had been sitting in, and beside her sat a handsome and gentle man.
The man's long hair was fixed with a hairpin at the back of his head. His unintentional movements gave people a feeling of immortality.
Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang had been so agitated today that they felt a little paranoid. Now that there was a stranger in their seat, the two of them naturally did not dare to rashly approach.
Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang stayed where they were. When Chen Xiaoyao saw the two of them, she waved at Jiujiu. "Little Jiujiu, come here."
Chen Xiaoyao greeted Jiujiu and turned to the man sitting beside her. "Little Jiujiu is the cutest little girl I've ever seen. You must take good care of her."
Hearing Chen Xiaoyao's high praise for Jiujiu, a trace of surprise flashed across the man's face. Then, he said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you praise someone like that."
From his words, it was obvious that this man had known Chen Xiaoyao for a long time. Moreover, the two of them knew each other very well.
This man was obviously an NPC from the Li Family Village. Since Chen Xiaoyao came with them, it was natural that they were not familiar with each other.
Therefore, the man's words revealed that Chen Xiaoyao's background was not ordinary.
Chen Xiaoyao did not mind the man's words at all. She pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly. "Isn't it because Little Jiujiu is too nice? If you get to know her better, you'll like her too."
After Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking to the man, she patted the seat beside her and said with a smile, "Little Jiujiu, sit here."
