I was on the verge of collapse, starving and feeling dizzy.

Logically speaking, when you're this hungry, anything tastes delicious.

But Qingyun was different; he would rather die than eat wild vegetables, especially those without salt.

It tastes completely bland.

Even plain water tastes better than this.

"Have something to eat," Qingyun's assistant said, approaching him with a pained expression.

But in his heart he was thinking:

"Don't die here! If you die, who's going to pay my salary?"

The little girl was holding a bowl of wild vegetable soup. The soup was murky and looked unappetizing.

Even his assistant, whom he usually liked quite a bit, was now disheveled, with greasy hair and a shiny face, which completely dampened his spirits.

I can't muster even the slightest interest.

The once breathtaking scenery is now nowhere to be seen.

"This is what you're feeding me? Is this even fit for human consumption? And look at you now, you're such a grotesque sight, it makes me want to vomit. Get away, get away from me!" Qingyun shouted "Get away" several times, waving his hands incessantly.

Like shooing away flies, their disgust was made no attempt to hide.

The assistant felt a sudden pang of pain and ran away, covering her face.

Hiding in a corner, the assistant ate wild vegetables with a wronged expression. She knew she didn't look presentable, but who could maintain a respectable appearance in this environment? Water was scarce here! Washing her face was a luxury, and there wasn't even enough drinking water.

"If you won't eat, I will. I'll let you starve. I don't even have enough to eat myself."

"You're complaining even after I've given you so much."

The assistant thought resentfully.

She channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, devouring wild vegetables.

Fortunately, this mountain forest is rich in wild vegetables.

Besides wild vegetables, there were also quite a few bamboo shoots, although they were a bit old, well, they were indeed too old.

It's so old it's almost turned into bamboo.

But aren't these extraordinary times? We can't be so picky now.

Being able to fill one's stomach is good enough; one can't care about anything else.

"I'm starving! Damn it!! Why can't we get out? This is so illogical!"

Qingyun kept wandering around in the bamboo forest.

It was already dark, and with the faint light of his flashlight, he could barely make out the direction of the road.

"Holy crap, what's that sound?"

"Who goes there? Show yourself!"

Strange rustling sounds came from the bamboo forest.

This was a voice he had never heard before.

Qingyun's nerves tensed instantly, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

What on earth is that? Could it be something unclean? If it really is an evil spirit, I'm definitely doomed if I go out alone. No, I must return to the Taoist temple as soon as possible.

"Ahhh, help! There's something evil inside! Someone, please help me!"

It is said that even demons and monsters fear evil people; as long as one acts fiercely, they will be wary. Thinking of this, Qingyun immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

He believed that his posture would scare away evil spirits.

"My God, help me! Help me!"

During the escape, he was desperate to save his life and panicked.

He accidentally fell down a small hill, and Qingyun's heart sank.

What did you feel just now?
It felt like something grabbed my ankle.

Good heavens, there really was something dirty inside. We're completely doomed now.

In reality, he had simply tripped over a vine; there was no evil spirit involved, it was all a hallucination caused by his excessive tension. As for the strange noises he heard...

Haha, it's actually quite ordinary.

They were all posted by people.

Qingyun was just too nervous, her nerves were out of control, and she was overthinking things.

"..." Lin Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly. He had just entered the place when he heard someone shouting that there was something dirty. He thought there was really a problem. But the next moment, he suddenly realized.

Good guy, really good guy.

So the so-called "dirty thing" was just me. Fine, I've been mistaken for a demon or monster. Look how scared they are, acting like complete novices. How dare they go into the mountains if they don't have the guts? Lin Beichen was utterly speechless, filled with disdain for the owner of that figure.

"Could something really be strange? Are all those legends in your China true?"

Nora couldn't help but look at Lin Beichen with curiosity; he had never seen this man frown before.

He had never seen Lin Beichen show such a serious expression during previous missions.

That's why he asked that question.

Yu Feng, who was standing next to him, almost burst out laughing. Norasuke's thought process was really too peculiar.

"Do you think it's possible that guy mistook Brother Lin Beichen for something dirty? Didn't you see he was running in the opposite direction? He's treating us all like unclean things." Yu Feng's lips twitched slightly. People can really scare each other to death.

Judging from this situation...

That guy was probably terrified.

If you're unlucky, you might trip and fall in these mountains and end up dying.

However, it's clear that Qingyun was quite lucky.

"Oh my god, help! Someone, please save me!"

"Damn it, I'm going to die! There's something unclean here! Can you hear me? Answer me!" Qingyun's painful wails echoed through the bamboo forest.

This kid really has a strong will to survive.

He kept muttering and shouting incessantly.

Lin Beichen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other person was speaking with a strong voice.

It seems the young man who was unaware of the situation is alright, at most just a scratch.

"Good heavens, they really think we're something dirty."

Norasuke belatedly realized what was happening.

Zhang San and Zhou Tianliang remained calm.

The two simply followed silently beside Lin Beichen. They appeared calm on the surface, but they had actually been startled themselves. Qingyun's sudden outburst had terrified them, making them think there was some real evil spirit. Well, it turned out to be just a false alarm.

"I never imagined I'd be seen as this kind of person."

"Then let me go and meet him. I want to see who's scarier, the filthy thing or me."

Norasuke immediately became interested.

He wanted to scare Qingyun, who was wailing.

"Take it easy, don't scare him to death."

"You know how easily someone can scare another person; you know how timid he is."

Yu Feng reminded him.

He gestured to Norasuke not to go too far.

Norasuke waved his hand without turning his head, indicating that there was no need to say anything more.

He knew his limits and believed he could handle things well.

If he were to feign supernatural behavior, in this environment of hidden moon and stars, with dark clouds overhead, it would indeed be easy to mistake him for a ghost. The malevolent aura emanating from him is no joke; if he were to act as an NPC in a haunted house, he could definitely scare people! The malevolent aura surrounding him is enough to terrify ordinary people.

"Damn it, they're getting closer! I'm sure I can hear those footsteps!"

"Why hasn't anyone come to help me yet? Fang Qiu, you good-for-nothing, I really wasted my time treating you to dinner."

He kept cursing the people in the Taoist temple.

Fang Qiu, whom he was referring to, was his assistant.

Everyone was also unable to sleep due to hunger.

Just then, a strange noise came from the woods.

Fang Qiu, who was in relatively good condition, was the first to notice.

But how could Fang Qiu dare to go and investigate alone? Even a man like Qingyun couldn't handle the situation.

What could a young woman like her possibly do if she went there?

Moreover, she no longer has any goodwill towards Qingyun.

Why work so hard when you only earn a few thousand dollars a month?

Doing your job well is enough; it's better to pretend you didn't hear it.

No, no, that won't do either, the final payment hasn't been settled yet.

If he dies here, this money will be completely wasted.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu quickly went to Lone Wolf's side and said urgently, "Brother Lone Wolf, something's happened! Qingyun seems to be in trouble."

Fang Qiu looked flustered, and after speaking, she turned to Wang Baozi and repeated the same words. After giving her instructions, she ran to inform the Feng brothers, Feng Wu and Feng Ju.

This girl is usually kind to others and always shares her extra food with them. Now that she's asking for help, the crowd naturally won't stand idly by. Even if Fang Qiu didn't usually do these small favors, they wouldn't stand idly by at this moment.

Right now, we're all in the same boat.

It is no exaggeration to say that they share both prosperity and adversity.

"Don't panic, we'll gather some tools and head over."

"They probably encountered a wild animal. Maybe they can follow it out of here."

Feng Wudang immediately expressed his opinion.

He is a native of Shanmen Village.

He had heard the legends about the village since he was a child.

After reflecting on his situation over this period of time, he roughly determined his current predicament.

If my guess is correct.

This must be due to being caught in the legendary magnetic field loop.

If you're lucky, you can walk out on your own in three or four days.

If you're unlucky, it could take several years, which really tests your mindset.

Leaving aside the food shortage, just surviving for two years would be a challenge.

Surviving in this environment for two years would either turn you into a savage or drive you insane.

"What you're saying...makes some sense."

Upon hearing this, Lone Wolf immediately became interested.

He largely agreed with Feng Wu's analysis.

Perhaps by relying on their animal instincts, they can truly escape this hellish place.

But they haven't seen any wild animals lately.

There were plenty of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but these things wouldn't lead the way.

They already inhabit this area; expecting them to guide us is pure fantasy.

"If there really is a problem, we can all look out for each other and handle it."

Feng Wu gave instructions to everyone.

According to his original thinking, no news was the best news.

But after only a day and a night, everyone was already in a terrible state. They really couldn't hold on any longer, so this unexpected turn of events was actually good news. An unexpected turn of events meant a breakthrough, and perhaps they could really leave.

"Don't worry, we're all in the same boat now, helping each other is only right."

Wang Baozi nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Wang Lvdou readily agreed.

The current situation calls for us to work together to overcome the difficulties.

Only in this way can safety be ensured.

Unity is strength! Especially at times like these.

Fang Qiu followed behind the group, and whether it was psychological or not, she felt much more at ease.

Being by Qingyun's side made him feel like every day was an eternity.

After spending the day together, Qingyun's perfect persona has crumbled.

He had made up his mind that he would resign immediately if he could get out alive.

I don't want to work for Qingyun anymore. He's too unreliable; it's all false advertising. I used to think it didn't matter as long as he wasn't a bad person, but now I realize how naive I was.

What kind of good bird is Qingyun? So pretentious.

Fang Qiu sees no future with this kind of person.

If Qingyun's public image collapses one day, he will also be implicated.

"Someone is coming."

Yu Feng reminded Lin Beichen.

He immediately realized that someone was heading this way.

Lin Beichen simply nodded slightly upon hearing this, showing no concern.

Their mission was to rescue people, so it wasn't surprising that someone came. Zhang San and Zhou Tianliang remained calm, though this was all feigned composure. To avoid losing face, they were completely focused on controlling their expressions.

"Why hasn't anyone come to rescue me yet?" Qingyun's mood calmed down a bit.

Since nothing unusual has happened for so long, the situation doesn't seem as bad as we thought.

You're just scaring yourself!
There's nothing dirty at all.

Just as he was thinking this.

A sudden chill ran down my spine.

A strange chill crept into my heart.

Qingyun panicked instantly, feeling a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. The chilling, bone-chilling killing intent made him tremble all over, and a faint, fishy smell filled the air.

Good guy.

Qingyun actually wet his pants.

Before Norasuke even started using his methods, the kid had already broken down.

Noryusuke, who had intended to tease the other party, instantly lost interest upon smelling the strange odor, his eyes flashing with impatience and mockery.

The next moment, before Qingyun could turn around to check, he vanished without a trace like a ghost.

Come and go without a trace.

"Why is there nothing here? Am I imagining things? Am I hallucinating because I'm too nervous?" Qingyun muttered to herself, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing was wrong. But then she heard someone calling her name again.

My relaxed mood tightened up again.

Such extreme emotional swings almost drove Qingyun to the brink of collapse.

Fortunately, I recognized the voice and that brought me back to my senses.

But his joy didn't last long, as he suddenly smelled a fishy, ​​foul odor all around him.

What the hell is going on?!

Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and had just stood up,

A night breeze swept by, and he felt a chill in his groin.

Good heavens! Qingyun thought to himself, "Good heavens!" It turned out that the clown was himself.

It turns out I've lost control of my bladder. I'm really doomed now; those people are coming again.

If they find out about this, damn it, they'll be in big trouble.

Qingyun was about to cry; someone had actually seen this embarrassing part of her past.

I must pretend that I've lost control of my bladder and not let anyone discover that I've lost control.

If discovered, their career will be completely ruined.

Once the news gets out, the carefully cultivated public image will inevitably collapse. We must remain calm and not panic.

Panic won't solve the problem.

We must remain calm and think about how to respond.

After a moment's thought, Qingyun actually came up with a solution.

Human potential is limitless; in a moment of crisis, he came up with a brilliant idea.

Without thinking twice, he grabbed some dry mud and smeared it all over his body.

This would dilute the smell and allow him to roll into a nearby puddle. This would better conceal the embarrassing situation of his soaking wet pants, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief after doing all this.

"I'm here, come quickly."

"I'm fine!" Qingyun shouted, hoping his companions would find him as soon as possible. He was still scared; after all, the feeling he had just experienced was too real.

Who knows if there are any filthy things in the woods?
It's always safer with more people around, and Qingyun has now made up his mind.

When he got back, he vowed to stick with everyone and never venture out alone again. He almost lost his life; even without anything sinister, he was terrified. Thinking about this, he nearly fell asleep.

……

at the same time.

Nora-suke returned to Lin Bei-chen's side.

Seeing Yu Feng's curious expression, he reported the results of the battle.

"You might not believe it, but that kid peed his own pants in fear."

"He collapsed on his own before I even began to use my methods, so I came back."

"That's really boring. The smell is so strong; it's probably just a case of getting a sore throat."

Norasuke said with a look of disgust.

Just thinking about that smell makes me dizzy. (End of Chapter)
