At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

Back in the courtyard, everyone sat around the wooden table in the room, the soft glow of the fluorite illuminating their faces.

Mu Yang then recounted the story of Weaving Dreams.

From the moment Wu Dehou's grandmother, the old woman, found Zhimeng's egg, to Zhimeng hatching and accompanying the old woman through the rest of her life, and then to Zhimeng guarding the village alone for seventy years after the old woman's death.

It wasn't until Wu Yang and Yue Miao set a trap, using the Bloodlust Powder to drive it mad, slaughtering the villagers, that it was finally killed by Mu Yang.

After the story was told, Qin Yuan and the others fell silent.

The courtyard was so quiet that you could hear the night wind rustling through the treetops.

The most sentimental Zhou Yao had tears in her eyes.

She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, her voice muffled: "Although Dream Weaver is a demon, she is more human than some people."

She was referring to those two despicable people, Wu Yang and Yue Miao.

Driven by their own selfish desires, they actually harmed the Dream Weaver, who had protected the village for decades. They are worse than beasts.

They should really be rescued, but they should be stabbed three times and stabbed six times, cut into a thousand pieces!

After a long silence, Qin Yuan sighed and slowly said, "Weaving Dream is indeed different from the man-eating monsters we've encountered before. In fact, you could say it's a rare and good monster."

He paused, then changed the subject: "But, a demon is a demon."

"Their instinct is to eat humans."

"The reason why Dreamweaver can not harm people is that it has the innate ability to absorb the essence of dreams to sustain its life."

"How many demons in this world possess such abilities?"

"Demons eat humans, and humans kill demons; this is the natural order."

"You can sympathize with Dream Weaver, but never let this incident make you feel pity for other demons."

Qin Yuan looked at the people present, especially Mu Yang and Lei Sai, and said in a heavy tone: "A moment of soft-heartedness could very well cost your teammates their lives, or even your own."

Mu Yang nodded.

He understood what Qin Yuan meant.

DedeCMS is one of the very few.

Monsters' instinct is to eat people.

Even a dream weaver, after losing her mind and going berserk, the first thing she does is to indulge in sensual pleasures.

This is innate, ingrained in our bones, and cannot be changed.

"Alright, everyone's had a long night, let's get some rest."

Qin Yuan stood up and dusted himself off: "We'll set off back to the county town early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Captain Qin."

The crowd dispersed.

..................

This small courtyard has a total of three side rooms.

Zhou Yao, who was originally supposed to sleep with Yue Miao, is now sleeping alone.

Of the remaining four, Qin Yuan shared a room with Ma Xuan, while Mu Yang shared a room with Lei Sai.

Lei Sai fell asleep fully clothed, staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

After seeing Mu Yang come in after changing his clothes, he sat up and looked intently at Mu Yang.

Those eyes were brighter than the moon in the sky.

"Is something the matter?" Mu Yang asked.

"Um."

Lei Sai nodded: "Brother Mu, may I ask you a question?"

Asking another question?

Are you a hundred thousand whys?

Why are there always problems?

After internally complaining, Mu Yang nodded: "Ask."

Lei Sai looked intently at Mu Yang. Moonlight streamed through the window, bathing Mu Yang in a thin layer of silver light.

"If, and I mean if, Dreamweaver hadn't gone mad or eaten people, would you have killed her?"

The room was quiet for a moment.

Mu Yang turned his head to look at him, and the moonlight also shone on Lei Sai's face.

After a pause, Mu Yang said, "Humans domesticate sheep, but don't eat them, they just shear their wool; humans domesticate cows, but don't eat them, they just produce milk; humans domesticate horses, but don't eat them, they just ride them."

"Is this good for cattle, horses, and sheep?"

Lei Sai: ? ? ?

What are you saying?

I don't quite understand.

Wasn't I the one asking you a question? Why am I the one being asked the question now...?

Although somewhat bewildered, Lei Sai subconsciously began to ponder what Mu Yang had said.

Then, he replied seriously, "It's pretty good, after all, people just make them work, they don't eat them, and they even take care of them and protect them."

"What do you think, Brother Mu?"

Mu Yang shrugged, his tone quite casual: "Who knows? I'm not a cow, horse, or sheep, how would I know what they're thinking?"

Lei Sai: ? ? ?

Lei Sai was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

Mu Yang casually picked up a thin blanket and covered his navel, then lay down on the bed and said, "The literal meaning."

Lei Sai was speechless: "Brother Mu, why are you just like my sister, always speaking in riddles? Can't you just say what you mean?"

Mu Yang ignored Lei Sai's complaints, simply turning over and facing away from him: "If I explain everything to you, it will be difficult for you to grow."

"Think about it yourself, I'm going to sleep."

Lei Sai: No, you're asleep, what am I supposed to do?

But he dared not disturb Mu Yang.

Lei Sai could only look out the window helplessly.

A night breeze blew through the window, carrying a faint chill.

The moonlight fell into the courtyard, bathing everything in a cool, silvery white light.

Lei Sai stared wide-eyed, too preoccupied to appreciate the night view before him, his mind racing with questions.

What does it mean literally?

..................

Silent all night.

Mu Yang slept soundly and woke up feeling refreshed.

But Rese was clearly not well-rested and looked extremely weak, with dark circles under his eyes.

"Little Lei, what did you do last night? Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

Zhou Yao looked at Lei Sai, who seemed to have overdone something, and her gaze swept over him and Mu Yang, her eyes full of curiosity.

No way, no way, did she miss something good last night?!

"I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm sure it's not what you think!"

Lei Sai rubbed his temples, looking rather helpless.

He spent the whole night brainstorming and is in a bad mood right now, so he has no interest in fooling around with Zhou Yao.

"Tch~"

Seeing that Lei Sai was really tired, Zhou Yao pursed her lips, then took out a leaf with serrated edges from her sleeve: "Take this, put it under your tongue, it will refresh you."

Thanks.

Lei Sai took it into his mouth and immediately felt much more energetic.

Mu Yang glanced at the leaf.

The Refreshing Peppermint Leaf is a Tier 2 item with only one white attribute: "Stimulates the Mind" which provides a temporary boost to alertness.

This week, Yao seems to be quite wealthy, taking second-tier items without hesitation.

That said, the ointment she used last night seemed to be of pretty good quality.

As Mu Yang was thinking, Qin Yuan and Ma Xuan also came out of the room.

Both of them looked to be in good spirits and had clearly had a good rest.

After a quick breakfast, the five of them left Wujia Village and headed towards Qinghe County.

Because they left early, the group returned to Qinghe County near dusk.

"Same as always, three days off, you can arrange your own time. We'll meet back at the same courtyard in three days."

Qin Yuan said, "By the way, Mu Yang, come with me, I'll take you to exchange your merits."

"Okay, Captain Qin."
