Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

But Chi Junlin gestured for her to wait, saying she wanted to take another look.

Then, the black-clad man who appeared later removed the covering from his head.

Then they saw a bald man whose skin was dry and bark-like.

The man looked extremely eerie, and his age was impossible to discern.

However, judging from his bone structure, Chi Junlin should be extremely young, no more than thirty.

But I don't know why, maybe I practiced some evil arts, that made myself look like this.

When Qiaonu saw this man appear, a look of fear immediately appeared on her face.

Because she knew that this was the legendary shaman, the one who had been passed down through generations in the Miao village.

She had initially thought it was just a legend, but it turns out there really was such a person.

So he quickly hid behind Chi Junlin.

At this point, everyone thought that the man, who looked like a withered tree, was going to take the child away.

Unexpectedly, he lowered his head and gently sniffed the child's head.

The child seemed to be affected by something and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The body stopped struggling.

The man with the withered tree seemed to sense some power, became extremely satisfied, and nodded to the man in black.

Then, the man in black closed the package again.

The two talked about something, but they were too far apart to hear clearly.

Then, they unexpectedly parted ways.

As in the beginning, they each went their own way, heading off to other places.

The group was puzzled and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Are the two not working together?

Why did the man with the withered tree only glance at the child before leaving?

Where is that man in black going with the child on his back?

There are too many questions, and no one can answer them.

After a moment's thought, Chi Junlin made a decision immediately.

She immediately told Feng Lingqiu, "Go and follow the man in black who is carrying the child, and wait for an opportunity to rescue the child."

We followed the other one.

Feng Lingqiu nodded and, without saying a word, quickly followed the path the man in black had taken.

Chi Junlin trusted Feng Lingqiu completely, knowing that with her strength, dealing with such a small fry would be more than enough.

Feng Lingqiu and the man in black had already disappeared into the night fog.

Chi Junlin then quietly followed the man with the withered tree along with the others.

At this point, Chi Junlin had already roughly guessed the other party's identity.

He should be one of the Eight Eccentrics of Southern Hunan, known as "Ghost Plague".

The Eight Eccentrics of Xiangnan each possess unique martial arts abilities, and each of their abilities is extremely strange and difficult to deal with.

The ability of the "Ghost Plague" is to create plagues.

He not only knew how to use poison, but also possessed highly toxic substances in his body.

If you touch his body during a fight, you will immediately be infected with seven kinds of strange poisons.

You must be constantly on guard when fighting him.

Although Chi Junlin possesses extremely profound internal strength and ordinary poisons cannot harm her, she still hopes to capture the poison alive if possible in order to break the Gu miasma.

Therefore, we need to be even more careful at this time.

At this moment, Chi Junlin and the others followed behind Gui Yi, watching him walk and stop in front of them.

Chi Junlin noticed that this guy's body seemed to be in rather poor condition.

Every few steps, I had to stop by the roadside to catch my breath.

A normal man would obviously not be this weak.

It's unclear whether it was due to his pre-existing physical condition or internal injuries.

After following for a short while, Chi Junlin discovered that Gui Yiding had arrived at the entrance of a mountain valley.

There is only one mountain road in this place. If they were to surround and capture them, she and Wenren Tianxia could block them from the front and back.

Chi Junlin was considering whether or not to take advantage of this opportunity to make a move.

Then they saw the plague demon resting beside a tombstone, taking out a gourd, preparing to drink something.

But just as he pulled the gourd out, he heard a very loud chirping sound coming from inside.

It sounds like the chirping of crickets.

Upon hearing this, the plague demon immediately became alert.

He shouted loudly towards Chi Junlin, "Who is it!"

At this moment, Chi Junlin and his party were all taken aback.

They had been following them all along and never expected to be discovered at this moment.

I have no idea what he's up to, that he has the ability to detect enemy movements.

Without hesitation, Gui Yi immediately pulled out a handful of pills from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth without a second thought.

Then he turned and ran without hesitation.

Chi Junlin quickly realized what was happening and shouted, "Chase!"

Then he and the others chased after them.

Strangely, the ghost plague, who was originally panting like a tuberculosis patient, became incredibly energetic and ran very fast after taking those inexplicable pills.

Chi Junlin could keep up, but Qiao Nu, who had no martial arts skills, had stopped, panting heavily.

They were clearly already running out of steam.

The group naturally couldn't leave Qiaonu alone to face danger here.

So Chi Junlin immediately said to Wenren Tianxia, ​​"You stay here and protect Qiaonu!"

Having said that, he took Wenren Xuan and used his lightness skill to perform.

They quickly followed the plague ghost.

Wenren Tianxia gritted his teeth and had no choice but to stop and return to Qiaonu's side.

"Are you okay?"

Wenren Tianxia asked her.

Qiaonu calmed her breathing and quickly shook her head at Wenren Tianxia.

Then, the two looked around.

I discovered that this was a strange world shrouded in thick fog and deserted by humans.

Chapter 300 Mystery in the Mountains and Forests

After parting ways with Wenren Tianxia and the others, he continued searching for the trail ahead—

Feng Lingqiu plunged headfirst into the thick fog before him.

Chi Junlin told her to follow the black-clad man who had been with the child earlier, and without much thought, she used her lightness skill to follow him.

They then traversed the fog, tracking the other's figure in the darkness of the night.

Before long, she was close to the man's body.

Just as Feng Lingqiu was considering whether to take action and subdue the man on the spot, something strange happened.

She sensed that the man was only about ten steps in front of her, but no matter how fast she quickened her pace, she couldn't catch up with him.

Having already used all his lightness skill, Feng Lingqiu believed that there were few in the Southern Kingdom who could be faster than him.

But... what happened?

Not only could she not catch up with the man in black in front of her, but the man was also faster when she was fast and slower when she was slow.

The two maintained a distance of about ten steps, without changing their stance.

Feng Lingqiu had already sensed that something was wrong.

At this moment, she couldn't help but stop, her brows furrowed, and her hand rested on her sword.

Just as she was pondering what the problem was, suddenly, in the thick fog, Feng Lingqiu sensed a faint crying sound again.

It sounded like a baby crying in the night.

She hesitated for a moment, seeing that there was thick fog all around and no other choice.

Then, he carefully walked towards the direction from which the crying was coming.

After passing through the fog, Feng Lingqiu discovered that a toddler had suddenly appeared on the ground ahead.

The toddler was young, about five or six years old, and was a boy. He was wearing rather elaborate clothes, and it was unclear whose child he was.

Although they weren't the Miao children she had seen with Chi Junlin and the others before, they clearly appeared to have been kidnapped by the men in black.

Feng Lingqiu carefully surveyed the surroundings and, finding no ambush, walked up to the boy and said, "Little boy, don't cry. Whose child are you, and what are you doing here?"

The boy looked somewhat fearful when he saw Feng Lingqiu.

Then, in a childish voice, she said, "I...I don't know. I was playing in front of my house when someone said they would give me candy, and then they took me out...I don't know how it happened, and here I am..."

He started sobbing again, saying, "I want to go home... Waaah... It's so dark here, I'm so scared..."

Upon seeing this, Feng Lingqiu sighed. It seemed that this boy, like the one he had seen before, had also been kidnapped.

So she could only say softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you home."

She then tried to persuade the boy to come with her.

The boy looked at Feng Lingqiu and nodded timidly, but when he stood up, a pained expression appeared on his face.

With a pained expression, she said, "My leg is broken, sister, can you carry me?"

Feng Lingqiu hesitated for a moment, but looking around at the desolate mountains and wilderness, the child had nowhere to go.

So he finally nodded, bent down, and let the child climb onto his back.

After Feng Lingqiu carried the child on her back, she felt that her back was a bit heavy.

Some of them don't seem to weigh like a five or six-year-old.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The boy, grinning, said to her, "Sister, let's go. Take me home..."

So Feng Lingqiu had no choice but to follow the path he had come from and head into the thick fog.

But after taking a few steps, Feng Lingqiu felt something was off.

When we arrived, it was a straight road, but when we went back, we found that there were either cliffs or jagged rocks ahead, and we couldn't find our way at all.

The boy laughed again and said, "Wrong, wrong, this isn't the way to my house, you have to go that way..."

With that, he headed towards Fenglingqiu.

Feng Lingqiu had already realized that something was wrong, but his body was not obeying his commands.

As if captivated by something, she walked in the direction the boy pointed.

Before long, she carried the boy to a mass grave filled with tombstones and graves.

The boy then chuckled and said, "Alright...we're at my house."
