The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"What happened?" Ella also crawled to the front of the carriage.

The sudden approach of the beautiful face and the faint lavender scent on the girl made Li Cheng a little dazed for a moment, but he immediately slapped his forehead and looked back to let Ella see the front of the car: "Lady Saint, I'm not sure what's in front... but I feel a little uncomfortable when I see those things."

Ella's rosy eyes also reflected the mist in the distance and the tree-like shadows, and she immediately realized something.

When Li Cheng and his companions arrived at the town entrance, the mayor had already ordered the guards to take down the bodies, but Ella could clearly see the bodies hanging on the trees while she was in the car.

"Two carriages, nothing unusual!" "The temple carriage is normal!" "Three carriages, nothing unusual!" "Four carriages, nothing unusual!"

A series of shouts came from near and far, fortunately, there were no problems with the five carriages at the moment.

The convoy gradually approached, and the scene that appeared made the players' faces change slightly.

There were huge trees full of corpses, which looked like strings of dried meat hanging in the valley.

Some of the bodies impaled on the branches were still slowly dripping blood, and from a distance it looked like a bloody rain in the white mist.

"Oh my God, what happened..." Li Cheng swallowed his saliva. If he hadn't been concerned about being in front of the Saint, he would have subconsciously wanted to swear.

Although the locals said it was early morning when the Howling Mountains had the least miasma, the rising thick fog seemed to have a consciousness and gradually enveloped the road.

It was difficult to command the convoy to turn around when the visibility was not good, but it was obviously unwise to go through the forest of corpses head-on.

"Lady Saint, how about we turn back first? Something feels wrong ahead." Li Cheng first quietly asked Ella for her opinion.

"You just take charge, Mr. Li." Ella nodded slightly. She also did not recommend that everyone go directly into the obviously strange forest.

Li Cheng immediately asked Xiao Deng to ask the carriage behind to turn around, and at the same time asked Lao Hu, who was driving, to go back to the carriage. Li Cheng put on a pumpkin-shaped helmet and sat on the horse to steer the carriage.

After some trouble and coordination, the entire convoy slowly changed direction in the not-so-spacious valley. The carriage driven by Li Cheng was still leading the convoy in the return direction.

As he drove his horse slowly forward, he watched the strange and hideous forest of corpses gradually disappear into the fog behind him, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Suddenly, Li Cheng, who was riding on a horse, felt his hair seemed to be touched by something.

The faint touch gave him goose bumps all over his body. He slowly raised his eyes and just saw a drop of thick blood on the tip of his nose.

Above the field of vision, there was a bloody corpse stuck on a tree branch.

The toes swaying in the wind were obviously the thing that had just touched his hair.

Grass.

Li Cheng cursed in his heart. He looked around and found that the convoy that should have been moving in the opposite direction under his command had actually driven into the strange forest of corpses at some point.

As the carriage passed under the trees with the corpses hanging on them, the dangling feet of some of the corpses hanging lower even lightly touched the roofs of the passing carriages, making slight muffled sounds.

Chapter 9: A near miss

Li Cheng was horrified and his hands holding the reins were shaking.

But as the guild leader, he had to remain calm.

"Xiao Deng, tell the carriages behind to follow closely and not fall behind. Then report the number regularly, every half a minute. Don't be bothered." He turned around and continued to give orders, "All brothers, keep a close eye on the outside and report any situation immediately."

The convoy could not stop due to this strange situation and could only grit their teeth and see if they could get through this sudden forest of corpses.

The faint sound of counting came one after another, echoing in the quiet valley.

Sensing Li Cheng's nervousness, Ella, who was sitting in the car, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm here."

The light and pleasant voice like that of a lark was like the warm sun that instantly dispelled the dark clouds that shrouded Li Cheng's heart, and the bone-chilling coldness in the mist seemed to disappear as well.

Lady Saint!!!

Li Cheng's eyes were filled with tears. Although they were the ones responsible for protecting Ella, after hearing Ella's words of comfort, his inner sense of security was immediately filled.

Looking at those bloody corpses, although I felt disgusted, the fear in my heart was much less.

Putting aside Li Cheng’s colorful psychological changes, Ella’s thinking at this time was calmer.

She also saw with her own eyes that the convoy changed its direction. Based on her understanding, her resistance to mental or illusion spells should be strong, but she did not notice any clues before seeing the convoy enter the forest of corpses.

This is a little weird.

In addition, Ella also noticed the corpses hanging on the trees. Even though the clothes on them were badly damaged, they could still be seen to be of various types.

From miners to businessmen, the blood that was still dripping and not completely coagulated showed that the tragedy here happened not long ago.

If we go further, we may be able to find the culprit.

As they were thinking about this, a familiar scream was heard again in everyone's ears, and it was particularly clear in the silence.

"Woo——"

Along with the creepy sound, Ella saw that part of the corpse hanging on the tree seemed to tremble suddenly.

Li Cheng was driving and looking at the foggy road ahead. He didn't notice a skinny arm slowly reaching down from the milky white mist above his head. The nails with mud and blood stains were about to touch his head.

Xiao Deng, who was watching the player ahead with trepidation, accidentally glanced at Li Cheng, and then his eyes widened: "Boss, it's on your head!"

Li Cheng raised his head immediately, and saw those five skinny fingers right up to his face. In just a moment, his face would be torn apart by those sharp fingers.

But the next moment a slender little hand grabbed the skinny wrist.

Ella jumped out of the car in an instant, grabbed the withered hand that fell from the sky, and suddenly pulled the strange object connected to the arm down from the air, and smashed it on the ground in front of the car with a powerful over-the-shoulder throw.

Damn it! ?

Li Cheng finally realized the shock in his heart. Everything happened too quickly in a flash.

He didn't even know whether he should be afraid of the moment of brushing against death, or be surprised by the sudden outburst of wild physical skills by the saint.

"Ga ga ga..." A dense sound like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube came from the surroundings. The limbs of the corpses hanging on the treetops trembled ghostly, and the entire forest of corpses seemed to come alive at this moment.

There were hideous cracks on their bloody arms, and black tentacles swayed out of the flesh and blood. From a distance, they looked like clumps of black hair wriggling on a corpse.

"Get ready for battle!" Without having time to be surprised by the scene just now, Li Cheng immediately roared and commanded everyone to engage in battle.

Countless corpses fell down like dumplings, some of them even smashed through the roofs of the carriages. The grabbing arms and hideous faces came into exciting face-to-face contact with the players in the carriages.

The entire convoy suddenly fell into panic. Li Cheng put on a pumpkin helmet, drew out the two-handed sword behind him and jumped to Ella's side.

He was just about to fight with the strange corpses with black tentacles that were surrounding him, when he suddenly saw a larger black tentacle breaking out of the ground beside the carriage. The huge tentacle swatted all the strange corpses in front of him like swatting flies, and threw them onto the mountain wall beside him, turning them into pools of rotten meat.

Li Cheng couldn't help but look at Ella behind him, but saw the silver-haired girl smiling and nodding at him. In the palm of her raised hand, a steady stream of black silt flowed like a waterfall, spreading and then covering the ground under the entire convoy.

Then, like black flowers blooming around the convoy, countless dark and huge tentacles grew out of the mud. Some of them swept the surrounding monster corpses away to the mountain walls on both sides like sweeping garbage, leaving pools of blood. Some of them reached into the carriages and accurately found the monster corpses that fell into the carriages, rolled up these uninvited guests and threw them out.

The big trees with the corpses hanging on them were naturally smashed to pieces by these dancing tentacles, and the road covered with mist suddenly became wider.

The players, in panic and with palpitations, held their weapons in their hands, watching the monster corpses that kept attacking from all directions being easily flattened into meat paste by those huge tentacles like insects. Suddenly, they felt like drawing their swords and looking around in confusion.

"Great Holy Light, please grant peace to all living beings." Freya in the car waved her staff and used holy light spells to calm the frightened horses.

As the carriage moved forward, the mud on the ground seemed to have life and followed it closely. The tentacles rooted in it and swimming around formed a pitch-black wall of steel. The strange corpses within a radius of several meters couldn't even get close to it.

"This is too much, Saint Lady." Having seen Ella summoning tentacles to fight Evans in the Cathedral Square, Li Cheng was not so surprised by these huge dark tentacles. However, he was just about to fight in a thrilling moment, but the next second he became a baby in a swaddling clothes and was tightly protected by the Saint Lady. He was a little at a loss. "Your fighting power is really exaggerated. It feels like we have no chance to fight at all."

"If necessary, I can let a few in for you to practice." Ella smiled.

She actually wanted to put some in, because she found that these things she killed did not reward universal points!

But she had encountered these corpses with tentacles before - in the ancient tomb, the ghost corpses that Ye Xiao encountered that were deformed after being attached by tentacles were very similar to these things.

But Ye Xiao would give universal points to some of the monster corpses that he smashed after transforming into a beast, but now Ella got no rewards for clearing out these monster corpses!

In fact, she had already discovered some clues. For example, every time a task was triggered, it was Ye Xiao who triggered it. Except for that special memory task, she had never received any prompt to trigger the task.

Ella had always thought it might just be a coincidence, but now seeing that she got no rewards for clearing monsters like this, she was finally certain that the system would not give any rewards for Ella's actions.

Chapter 10: Still Wanting

Although it's a scam, it's also expected.

Ella thought that if she could get the rewards, she could just run out and conquer all the ruins systems, which might bankrupt her.

But she also felt a little disappointed that there was no positive feedback from killing monsters.

"Everyone has drawn their swords now, why not warm up?" Ella kept encouraging the confused Li Cheng. As long as she was watching her good brother, nothing would happen. But these monsters were all living experience babies, and it would be a waste for her to fight them all.

If all else fails, she'll use her tentacles to tie up these strange corpses and send them to her buddies to kill them.

"Well, it's not impossible..." Li Cheng looked at Ella's beautiful red eyes, but his own eyes were clear - he still couldn't understand what Ella meant.

"I heard from Mr. Ye that there seems to be some kind of reward for you visitors from another world to kill monsters." Seeing that her brother really had no spirituality at all, Ella had no choice but to be straightforward, "But there is no point in me killing these things, so I thought, why don't you give it a try?"

"Ah? Oh!!!" Li Cheng slapped his head and finally came to his senses.

In this strange and depressing environment, waves of monster corpses keep coming... It seems like a perfect opportunity to brush up on general points! ?

Of course, this cannot be blamed on him. Li Cheng usually has an open mind. He was the one who taught Ye Xiao many weird player skills in his previous life - for example, confirming the location of reward items by accepting tasks from unscrupulous merchants, and then stealing the rewards directly in the middle of the night.

But when Ella was around, Li Cheng's brain always worked a little slowly. Plus, the terrifying atmosphere just now was too stressful, so his brain didn't think in this strange direction at all.

But now that his mind was opened, his focus finally shifted from fear to the players' rich creativity.

If he wasn't afraid of being slapped into the ground by the tentacles and being beaten up by his brother Ye Xiao, Li Cheng would have the urge to hug and take a bite of the Saint Lady's cute little face. "Saint Lady, my admiration for you is like a surging river."

Ella got goosebumps when she saw her good brother's look. She waved her hand and slipped back into the carriage.

Li Cheng immediately asked the players to get off the bus. The members of the Qi Yao Society gathered on one side of the convoy. The waving giant tentacles really made way for a gap, and the shaking monster corpses were let in one after another, and then they were beaten flat by everyone.

Ella saw the harmonious scene of players beating up the monster corpses, and wondered if this could also be considered a kind of team battle cooperation.

It even reminded her of the game Plants vs. Zombies that she played many years ago.

Not to mention, how many should be allowed in at a time to clean up as much as possible without causing too much danger to everyone is indeed a science that needs to be pondered.

After trying this back and forth for a few times, the tense atmosphere gradually turned into a cheerful one. People even felt that those weird corpses with their weird movements were like the funny movements of a street dance team.

As the convoy moved forward, after killing about a hundred of them, no new monster corpses appeared in the vast fog, and even the big trees with their fangs and claws bared disappeared.

The vast white fog gradually dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the loess road.

"Huh? No?"

Li Cheng and others looked at the increasingly broad view and felt a little confused.

……

While the Qi Yao Society and others were still enjoying themselves, Ye Xiao had already followed the galloping Cerberus over the hill, through the layers of woods and arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Below the cliff is a steep wall as straight as a knife, with a huge mine leaning against it. On the earth-gray cave wall are circles of spiral downward ramps, with scattered wooden ladders and simple miners' huts scattered on the ramps.

In his previous life, Ye Xiao had been to the gray gold mine before, but this was the first time he had overlooked the entire mine from the top of the cliff.

Logically speaking, there should be miners working here day and night, as well as guards patrolling and monitoring the miners' work.

But for some reason, when Ye Xiao looked at the vast mine, it was empty.

"That smell is right down there," Cerberus said in a low voice. "Strange, and then the source of the smell suddenly disappeared."

Could it be that it was taken away by a stray dog ​​on the roadside? Seeing the dark owl Eunice spread its wings and landed on the branch in front of his shoulder, Ye Xiao thought about it and decided not to tell his brilliant guess in order to protect his face from being scratched by the bird.

It was impossible to go down the cliff directly in front of him, so Ye Xiao had to tie the horse to a tree trunk nearby, and then follow the edge of the cliff into the dense jungle.

"Isn't the source of the smell down there? Where are you going?" Seeing Ye Xiao bending down and walking into the bushes, Gretia looked reluctant, "I don't want to go into those dirty bushes."

"It's too steep here. We have to find a way down the mountain." Ye Xiao said helplessly.

"Tsk." The little maid walked up and grabbed Ye Xiao's arm, then jumped off the cliff.

"Hey!?" Ye Xiao reacted but his strength was not as great as Grettia's, so he was dragged off the cliff.

But the imagined rapid descent did not occur. Ye Xiao felt the wind blowing on his face, and his body seemed to be slowly gliding in the air towards the center of the mine.

He raised his head and saw that Gretia, who was holding his arm, had a pair of small bat wings on both sides of her back. They flapped leisurely and flew slowly downwards with Ye Xiao.

"You're awesome, maid!" Ye Xiao gave heartfelt praise.

However, Gratia looked down at Ye Xiao, stunned for a moment, and her cheeks suddenly turned red, "Where are you looking at, you rascal!!"

"What..." Ye Xiao didn't finish his words when he felt his body suddenly fall down, "F---"

Amidst the tragic cries, Ye Xiao fell freely from the sky like a leaf dancing in the wind.

The mine pit beneath him was growing bigger and bigger like a man-eating black hole. Just before his face, which was somewhat deformed by the strong wind, was about to hit the ground violently, a sudden soft force supported his body and made him stop.

Ye Xiao couldn't help swallowing as he saw the ground just a few centimeters away from his nose suddenly stop without giving him a head-on blow.

Then, he felt the force that was holding him up suddenly disappear, and his face still hit the hard rock surface.

"What are you doing?!" Ye Xiao covered his nose and got up from the ground. He was speechless as he watched Gretia flapping her little wings and slowly landing on the ground.
