Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

"Where? Where?"

Shen Wan'er stared at the ground with great tension.

The next moment, she felt a force on her feet that pulled her backward sharply, and before she could react, she fell backward.

Upon seeing this, Qin Huaiyu quickly rushed forward.

He stretched out both hands, grabbed the two of them, and ran quickly.

We can't go on like this. That thing is underground, and its fate is unpredictable. We'll be worn down by it sooner or later.

What should I do?

He was anxious.

However, at this moment, there was a faint movement on the ground, and the soil arched up as if a snake was moving forward rapidly.

"Oh no, it's coming!"

A familiar chill swept over him, and Qin Huaiyu's expression hardened. He looked around and saw only earth, mounds of earth, and some scattered, overturned coffins.

Earth, coffin?

His eyes suddenly lit up. That thing was good at hiding in the soil, but what if it was wood?

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think any further, spotted a nearby coffin lid, and leaped up.

"Bang"

With a muffled thud, he landed steadily on it with the two of them.

"Nephew, what are you doing?"

Feng Yunming was in a great hurry. If he didn't run now, when would he? Even playing with someone's coffin lid requires timing.

"experiment."

Qin Huaiyu's words were concise and to the point.

"............" Feng Yunming.

Shen Wan'er looked puzzled. "What kind of experiment is it?"

"...A kind of science, you can think of it as feeding you like a guinea pig in a secret room!"

"........oh?"

Shen Wan'er's eyes were full of confusion, just like you when you are suddenly called on by the teacher in the classroom.

Do you understand? No!

Of course, Qin Huaiyu was only responsible for explaining, not teaching; his eyes were fixed on the ground.

The winding lines plunged straight into the bottom of the coffin lid.

Soon, a thud was heard, and the coffin lid began to shake.

Sure enough, this guy can only move around freely in the dirt.

Qin Huaiyu stomped his feet hard, the powerful force pressing down on the coffin lid and calming the shaking.

"So this Earth Goddess can only run rampant in the soil, and can't do anything when she encounters wood," Shen Wan'er said, her eyes lighting up.

Feng Yunming finally understood. "Nephew, we really owe you a lot this time."

"It's too early to say that."

Qin Huaiyu looked up at Sun Shu, who was still walking, and said:

She's still on the ground.

Upon hearing this, the two realized that one of them was missing.

"We can't let anything happen to her. If something happens to her, all our plans will be for naught, and we might even alert the mastermind behind it all, making it much harder to catch her then," Feng Yunming said urgently.

Perhaps the Earth Goddess underground could understand human speech, for the strange movements under the coffin lid ceased, and the arched lines in the soil moved toward Sun Shu's direction.

Ha, you've got the bait for me? Okay, I'll grant your wish!

Qin Huaiyu's lips curled up, and he then picked up the two anxious-looking people and threw them into the coffin on the side.

"Stay put and don't come out."

He left those words behind, stepped onto the ground, grabbed the coffin lid with one hand, and charged out forcefully.

The winding lines continue...

A muffled "bang" was heard.

The coffin lid fell from the sky and landed directly in the path of the Earth Goddess.

Qin Huaiyu stood straight on the ground, his aura soaring, like a warrior who could hold off ten thousand men.

Inside the coffin

Looking at that tall and straight figure, Shen Wan'er felt a strange flutter in her heart. Was this still the same playboy she knew? Although she hadn't seen him for many years, didn't they say that one's nature is hard to change?

How did being outwardly fierce but inwardly weak become "fearless and ruthless"?

"Girl, you're interested!"

Feng Yunming said jokingly.

"No, Uncle Feng, what are you saying?"

Shen Wan'er blushed and quickly denied it.

"Ha ha"

Feng Yunming smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Not only you, but I'm also very interested in you."

As he spoke, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"............" Shen Wan'er

In the field

The Earth Mother had changed the direction of her attack; lines flashed rapidly, and her withered hand suddenly emerged from beneath.

Qin Huaiyu was no longer as panicked as he had been at the beginning. He reacted with lightning speed, using the coffin lid as support to leap up, and then, the moment he landed, he swung the wooden plank down.

The violent force caused the wind to howl and the space to tremble. The spectacle was terrifying.

"Click"

A crisp sound, like the sound of bones breaking.

This was followed by a piercing scream, like the cawing of a night raven, which was quite unpleasant.

Having landed a successful blow, Qin Huaiyu's senses were fully activated. With the enhancement of the golden liquid, his perception was now incredibly sharp, and he could clearly see even the slightest movement of the grass and trees.

The soil beneath our feet has loosened.

This time, the Earth Goddess's withered and terrifying head was revealed. She bared her sharp teeth and opened her mouth to bite.

At the critical moment, golden light surged beneath Qin Huaiyu's feet, and he stepped directly down.

Perhaps sensing the danger, the old woman's face showed fear, and she quickly pulled her head back.

But it was still a little late.

"Bang"

With a loud bang, the ground cracked open, and a pool of black, sticky liquid seeped out from the soil.

"What terrifying power!"

Shen Wan'er stared at that domineering figure with horror on her face. She had originally felt a sense of superiority, but with Qin Huaiyu's step, that little bit of pride vanished.

"His power level has probably reached the Lesser Second Realm, the Profound Pool stage, but his cultivation realm hasn't quite reached it yet. What a little monster!"

Feng Yunming's face was filled with disbelief.

Isn't this kid a newly appointed master?

How can he have such strong power and such divine sense? Even I can't sense any trace of the Earth Goddess, yet he can accurately detect it. How is this possible?

His features were sharp and focused, as he fell into deep thought.

Of course, Qin Huaiyu was unaware of their thoughts at this moment. He was concentrating on sensing the underground, where there were faint sounds of flow in the soil, but they were not clear.

"Fine, you damn thing, since you won't come out, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After he finished speaking, a golden halo rose from his body, and then he violently swung the coffin lid, causing a rumble of wind and thunder, creating ripples.

The calm ground suddenly began to move, its lines straight out and rushing in the opposite direction at an extremely fast speed.

"Trying to run? No way!"

Qin Huaiyu leaped up like a ferocious bird of prey, directly slamming towards the Earth Goddess.

The coffin lid slammed down with a tremendous roar, the powerful force penetrating directly into the ground.

"Squeak, squeak"

As the unpleasant sound rang out again, the figure of the Earth Goddess burst forth from the ground. Her face was contorted, a bloody mark appeared on her forehead, and black liquid was still flowing from the top of her head.

Upon seeing this, Qin Huaiyu swung the coffin lid horizontally and slammed it down.

As soon as the old woman realized what was happening, a look of terror appeared on her horrific face. She screamed and tried to run away.

But in the end, it couldn't keep up with the speed of the coffin lid.

With a series of crisp "crack" sounds, the old woman was smashed into limp bones, spitting out mouthfuls of black, foul blood. Before she could even hold on for two more moments, she collapsed to the ground, motionless.

"Hmph, trying to play with me? You probably don't know I beat the whack-a-mole game."

Qin Huaiyu snorted and threw away the coffin lid, then waved towards the coffin.

Upon seeing this, Feng Yunming and Shen Wan'er quickly ran over.

"Uncle Feng, please check on this old woman. I just saw some blood on her forehead."

Qin Huaiyu learned during the fight that this thing was oozing black viscous fluid, and the presence of bloodstains was highly unusual.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunming immediately stepped forward and squatted down to examine her. He brushed aside her messy hair and found fresh blood on her withered forehead, along with a single character.

"slave"

"This is a slave mark!"

"Slave mark?"

"Using the blood of one's heart to draw a seal, and using the power of nightmares as a guide, it is transmitted into the body of another to achieve the purpose of enslavement. If the one who receives the seal does not comply, his heart blood will spontaneously combust and burn him to death."

If they're so domineering, then they have to do whatever they want.

Qin Huaiyu was most averse to enslavement, and he said with a stern face:

"The enslavement of such people in the mass grave must have been the work of that sorcerer. It seems we are not far from his place."

"Let's go, follow them!"
