I'm not a psychopath!

Chapter 212: Figure by the Window
He didn't know who the person asking for help in the book was, let alone whether this person was still waiting for rescue in some corner of the forest.

Jiang Qing showed the book to Jiang Qing and other friends, and everyone's faces showed deep worry and uneasiness.

Jiang Qing slowly closed the book. The chill seemed to dissipate as the pages closed, but the shock in his heart could not subside for a long time.

He looked around. The dim room seemed to hide unknown secrets. Every corner was filled with depression and heaviness.

"This forest farm is not simple." Jiang Qing said in a deep voice, breaking the silence in the room.

Others also gathered around, Bailiye frowned, "It seems that there is a story behind this forest farm, we have to be careful."

Luo Shui seemed a little uneasy, "Then are we still staying here overnight?"

Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "There is no better choice for now. Let's rest here first, but be alert and wake up others immediately if there is anything unusual."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they were a little nervous, under the leadership of Jiang Qing, they decided to settle down in this wooden house temporarily.

Shen Chengxian had brought back a pile of firewood from outside and started a fire. The flickering flames brought a touch of warmth and light to the dark wooden house.

As the night deepened, all kinds of strange noises were heard from the forest outside, but the people in the house did not dare to relax at all.

They took turns to keep watch to ensure safety.

Jiang Qing sat by the fire, playing with a piece of luck fragment obtained from a monster in his hand. His thoughts drifted away. The piece of luck fragment emitted a faint light, and seemed to contain some mysterious power.

Yes, the demon race has its own luck, which will be materialized in this space.

After the death of the previous fourth-level monster, Jiang Qing obtained this fragment.

This thing is magical. When you hold it in your hand, it can be solid or gaseous. When it is in gaseous state, it can flow into the body like spiritual energy. It feels very strange.

"Is the battle for luck really just a simple collection of fragments?" Jiang Qing thought to himself, "Are there any connections between this text in the forest farm and this luck fragment?"

He decided to explore the area around the forest early tomorrow morning to see if he could find more clues.

At this moment, Qin Xiaosui came over, sat next to Jiang Qing, and whispered, "Jiang Qing, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Qing smiled slightly, "I was thinking about the secret behind this forest farm and the battle for luck."

Qin Xiaosui blinked and said, "Then let's find the answer together tomorrow."

Jiang Qing nodded, "Okay, let's find the answer together."

It was late at night, and the fire in the wooden house gradually went out, leaving only a few wisps of smoke floating in the air. Jiang Qing and Qin Xiaosui leaned against each other and gradually fell asleep.

And the forest outside was still whispering in the night, as if telling one ancient story after another.

Late at night, it was Jiang Qing's turn to keep watch.

He sat beside the extinguished fire, gently stroking the piece of luck in his hand, feeling the mysterious power contained in it.

His eyes stared through the window frame at the dark forest outside, his heart filled with confusion and curiosity.

Suddenly, a slight noise broke the silence of the night. Jiang Qing immediately became alert. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, scanning the surroundings, looking for the source of the sound.

"Jiang Qing, what happened?" Qin Xiaosui was also awakened by the noise. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked in a daze.

"Shh, don't make any noise." Jiang Qing said in a low voice, while slowly standing up and walking towards the door silently.

He gently opened the door and walked out. The moonlight shone through the treetops, sprinkling on the desolate forest. Everything seemed exceptionally quiet.

However, Jiang Qing could feel that there seemed to be a hint of unusual aura hidden in this silence.

He patrolled carefully around the cabin, his ears carefully catching every tiny sound around him.

Just then, he noticed that something seemed to be moving under a tree not far away.

Jiang Qing held his breath, slowly approached, and finally saw clearly - it was a figure, curled up under the tree, the body trembling slightly.

Jiang Qing was shocked.

He didn't expect to meet other people in such a place, so he quickly sent a message to wake up the others.

"Everyone get up quickly, I found someone outside." Jiang Qing said hurriedly.

Everyone quickly stood up and followed Jiang Qing out of the wooden house. They were all very surprised to see the figure curled up under the tree.

"Who would be here in the middle of the night?" Baili Ye asked puzzledly.

"Let's go and take a look." Jiang Qing took the lead and walked over.

Jiang Qing led his companions towards the curled up figure, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

However, just as they were about to get closer, Jiang Qing's expression suddenly changed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then, accompanied by a howl, the long sword suddenly came out of its sheath.

"Be careful! It's not human!" Jiang Qing shouted, reminding his companions.

The black shadow revealed its true form under the light of Jiang Qing's sword. It was a disguised demon.

It let out a sharp roar and slammed into several people, but Jiang Qing dodged it swiftly.

"Disperse! Prepare for battle!" Jiang Qing commanded, his voice sounding particularly clear in the night sky.

The team members responded quickly. Their actions were well-trained. They immediately dispersed and formed an encirclement.

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of this giant ant monster, and it swung its tail violently, stabbing towards Baili Ye who was closest to it with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Just in time!" Baili Ye shouted, and shook the spear in his hand, accurately hitting the giant ant's tail, making a dull metal collision sound.

Luo Shui took the opportunity to launch an attack. The halberd in her hand was like a swimming dragon, piercing straight into the giant ant's abdomen.

The giant ant let out a painful roar, but quickly steadied itself, turning its tail and trying to fight back.

There was actually a sharp spike on the tail, flashing a deadly cold light.

"Don't give it the chance to fight back!" Jiang Qing shouted again. His long sword drew sword shadows in the air, blocking all the giant ant's retreat routes.

Qin Xiaosui was agile, she shuttled around the giant ant like a ghost, looking for the best time to attack. Shen Chengxian and Luo Hua cast spells and used hidden weapons from a distance to provide support to their teammates.

The battle became extremely fierce. Every attack of the giant ant was full of power and murderous intent, but the members of the team cooperated well, and every attack was precise and deadly.

After a thrilling confrontation, the giant ant finally ran out of strength and was stabbed in the vitals by Jiang Qing's sword.

It let out one last roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After the battle, the team members breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they quickly checked the surroundings to confirm that there were no other monsters lurking. "Is everyone okay?" Jiang Qing sheathed his sword and asked his companions with concern.

"This little scene can't bother me!" Baili Ye brushed the dust off his body and said with a smile.

Luo Shui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This giant ant is quite difficult to deal with, but we worked well together and took it down!"

Qin Xiaosui jumped up excitedly, "It's so exciting! I almost broke the thorn on its tail just now! Unfortunately, it's still a little hard..."

Shen Chengxian and Luo Hua also breathed a sigh of relief. They smiled at each other and said, "Our team is really getting more and more coordinated. If we continue like this, there will be nothing we can't take down!"

Jiang Qing nodded. "However, the situation here is more complicated than we expected. Everyone should remain vigilant. Something could happen at any time."

The team members responded in unison, with determination and confidence flashing in their eyes.

Jiang Qing stood beside the giant ant corpse, frowning as he thought about the possibility of the existence of the luck fragment. He turned to Qin Xiaosui and said, "Xiaosui, come and dissect it to see if there is any luck fragment."

Qin Xiaosui nodded. She was no stranger to anatomy. In the training camp, she learned this kind of survival skill best because she was never afraid of these jobs that seemed bloody to ordinary people.

Maybe it's talent?

She squatted down, pulled out a sharp dagger from her waist, and began precise dissection.

Qin Xiaosui's technique was skillful, and every cut was just right. Soon, the ant's shell was carefully peeled off, revealing the complex internal structure.

Baili Ye and other team members also gathered around and watched attentively.

Qin Xiaosui carefully examined every part of the ant and finally found a glowing object at the tail of the ant.

"found it!"

Qin Xiaosui carefully took out the glowing object. It was a translucent crystal with a strange light flowing inside. It was the fragment of luck.

However, when Qin Xiaosui further examined the ant's physiological structure, her brows furrowed: "This doesn't seem to be a demon race."

Luo Shui came over to take a look and was also a little confused: "There is indeed something wrong. The body structure of the demon race is very different from this."

Shen Chengxian put forward his own opinion: "Perhaps this is a native creature of Wuji Fairy Island, and it has some special abilities that we don't know about."

After some reasoning and analysis, they came to the conclusion that this ant was indeed a native creature of Wuji Fairy Island. It had a very strange ability. Its antennae could disguise themselves as human form to attract prey.

After hearing this conclusion, Jiang Qing discovered something else, and his expression became serious: "Human-shaped bait? So...

The creatures here feed on humans?

And ants are social creatures.”

This discovery gave everyone a chill. If the creatures in this forest really feed on humans, then their situation in this forest will become even more dangerous.

Bailiye tightly grasped the spear in his hand and looked around vigilantly: "We must be more careful and not let these creatures take advantage of us."

Luo Shui also nodded in agreement: "We must be extra careful during the night watch tonight and not let down our guard at all."

Jiang Qing took a deep breath. He knew that they had entered an unknown and dangerous area and they had to be cautious in every step.

"Okay, let's set up defenses here first. Tomorrow morning, we will continue exploring the forest farm and keep an eye out for any possible threats." Jiang Qing gave the order, his voice firm and powerful.

The night was as dark as ink, so thick that it seemed like water could drip out of it. Although Jiang Qing and his companions had fought a fierce battle, no one could rest in peace in this eerie wooden house.

In the dim corners of the wooden house, every shadow seemed to hide unknown dangers, which made people feel creepy.

"I say, are we really going to spend the night here? Why do I feel it's even less safe here than outside?" Shen Chengxian muttered, holding a wooden stick in his hand and poking the dark corners around him from time to time.

Qin Xiaosui also echoed: "Yeah, this place is so creepy, is there a ghost?"

"Okay, don't scare yourself." Jiang Qing stood up. "Well, let's check it carefully again to make sure there are no other hidden dangers."

Baili Ye and Luo Shui also joined the search, and the five of them began to patrol back and forth in the wooden house.

"I say, there's no need to be so careful. It's the middle of the night, just take a casual look." Shen Chengxian complained, but still followed Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Shen Chengxian: "In fact, I have already scanned it with my spiritual sense, and there is nothing."

"Then what are you looking for?"

"I see that you are scared, so I check it again to feel more at ease."

Shen Chengxian: ...

Shen Chengxian closed his eyes and began to release his spiritual sense, carefully scanning the entire wooden house. His spiritual sense was like an invisible net, covering every corner.

I almost forgot that I am a cultivator. Do I need to do this kind of thing myself?
Sure enough, he didn't find anything unusual, but he found that Jiang Qing's brows suddenly frowned.

Luo Shui also noticed the change in Jiang Qing's expression, "What's wrong, Jiang Qing? Did you find anything?"

Jiang Qing opened his eyes, his eyes revealed a trace of solemnity, "It's not our wooden house, but the second floor of the dilapidated wooden house opposite, the second window from the left to the right, there is a person looking at us."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people's scalps instantly went numb. In this desolate forest farm, someone was secretly spying on them late at night. This undoubtedly brought them tremendous pressure and unknown fear.

Again?

It’s late at night, when will it ever end?

Bailiye tightly grasped his spear and looked vigilantly at the dilapidated wooden house opposite. "People? Are you sure?"

"There's no doubt about it. I can feel his gaze." Jiang Qing said in a deep voice.

Qin Xiaosui approached Jiang Qing nervously and whispered, "What should we do? I'll go beat him to death."

Everyone: Sister Qin is awesome...

Someone? Hearing this, Bailiye and Luo Hua also frowned at the same time. This matter is not simple!
Bailiye asked urgently: "Is he dead or alive?"

"Of course he's a living person watching us from behind the window," said Luo Hua.

"No." Jiang Qing stared at the dark window, slowly pulled out the Longyuan Sword with his other hand, took a deep breath, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
That’s not a living person.”

"Not a living person? How is that possible?" Luo Shui looked at him and was stunned when he heard that.

"--ah!!"

She only exclaimed, "What the hell is going on?!"
