Twenty minutes later.

Inside the cave.

As Mo Xiao continued forward, his unease grew stronger, and his brows furrowed tighter.

Seeing Mo Xiao’s expression, Jiang He felt puzzled and asked, “Mo Xiao, what’s wrong with you? Why does your face look so grim?”

“Didn’t you notice anything unusual?” Mo Xiao asked seriously.

“Unusual?” Jiang He’s heart tightened at these words, and she quickly looked around.

However, she did not find anything wrong. “No… Are you just overthinking things?”

Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “Since we killed that giant just now, all the monsters in this cave seem to have disappeared. We haven’t encountered a single one ever since.

“Before, every few steps we took, some monsters would appear. Now, it’s as if they’ve all vanished. This doesn’t make any sense.”

Hearing this, Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, “Could it be that the giant we killed earlier was the lord of this area? After its death, all the surrounding monsters scattered?”

Hearing Jiang He’s naive words, Mo Xiao looked at her helplessly.

Why does such an innocent and pure-hearted person exist in this apocaiyptic world?

“Forget it, let’s go.”

Mo Xiao sighed and didn’t bother discussing it further with Jiang He.

They continued to advance further into the cave.

After walking for a while, Jiang He suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Seeing Jiang He’s sudden action, Mo Xiao also stopped and frowned, asking, “What’s wrong?”

“Mo Xiao, did you hear someone asking for help?” Jiang He furrowed her brows, looking around anxiously. The sound of someone in distress made her feel uneasy.

Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “No, this is the Wood Spirit’s domain, and this cave is a forbidden place for the Wood Spirits. How could there be any Wood Spirits seeking help here?”

“Could I have misheard it?” Jiang He bit her lip in doubt, then followed Mo Xiao, continuing forward.

However, after a few steps, Jiang He suddenly stopped again. “I’m sure I didn’t mishear it! I can still hear someone asking for help! We can’t just ignore it!” “Jiang He, have you forgotten what I said before?”

Hearing Jiang He’s words, Mo Xiao instantly frowned.

“I remember, but…”

“There’s no ‘but.’ Our main objective is to complete the mission, not to do anything else.”

Mo Xiao coldly glanced at Jiang He and didn’t want to argue any further.

Just as Mo Xiao was about to turn around and continue forward, Jiang He gritted her teeth and turned in another direction, running towards it.

“Hey!” Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was taken aback. “Jiang He!”

As he spoke, Mo Xiao raised his hand and grabbed at Jiang He.

“Buzz!”

Before Mo Xiao could touch Jiang He, her body emitted a crimson light, and Mo Xiao’s hand was forced back.

“This is!”

Seeing this, Mo Xiao’s expression changed, but he still hastened his pace and followed behind Jiang He.

Following Jiang He’s lead, the two of them walked for a long time, finally arriving in an extremely spacious cave.

Based on Mo Xiao’s gaming experience from his past life, such a place was most likely the lair of a boss.

“Mo Xiao! Look! It’s Yaoyao!!”

As Mo Xiao remained vigilant, Jiang He’s startled cry rang out again.

Following Jiang He’s pointing finger, Mo Xiao saw Tao Yaoyao lying on the ground. One of her arms was already missing.

Other than her, there was only a huge throne-like chair behind her in this cave.

At this moment, Tao Yaoyao seemed to have heard Jiang He’s call. She raised her head with a pained expression and pleaded, “Jiang He… save me…”

Seeing this scene, Jiang He’s heart tightened. Without hesitation, she rushed directly towards Tao Yaoyao with large strides.

Seeing this, Mo Xiao raised his hand and stopped Jiang He. “Are you stupid?!

This is obviously a trap! Can’t you tell?!”

“Trap? I can’t tell! Yaoyao needs my help now! I have to help her! Perhaps this is also a mission!” As if knowing Mo Xiao’s personality, Jiang He directly mentioned the reason for the mission.

“Don’t go!”

Mo Xiao coldly stopped her.

“…” Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Jiang He gritted her teeth. “Get out of the way! If you don’t go, I’ll go!”

Jiang He casually pushed Mo Xiao’s hand away and quickly ran towards Tao Yaoyao.

Seeing Jiang He’s actions, Mo Xiao’s expression turned completely cold.

Bringing her to level up was a deal with Jiang Shan.

He saved her because of the help she had given him in the beginning.

He stopped her because of their friendship.

Since she was in a hurry to die, he naturally had no obligation to stop it.

“Yaoyao, are you alright?”

Seeing this, Jiang He’s heart tightened, and without hesitation, she rushed over to Tao Yaoyao.

“Are you alright?”

Looking at the weak-looking Tao Yaoyao, Jiang He became even more worried.

“I… Of course I’m fine,” Tao Yaoyao said, but her expression suddenly changed.

Her originally pure eyes were now flashing with a hint of red light.

Seeing this, Jiang He was startled and took a step back.

However, he realized that Tao Yaoyao’s limbs had turned into vines.

They had wrapped around her limbs without her noticing, binding her tightly like clothes.

“Tao Yaoyao! What are you doing?!” Jiang He looked at Tao Yaoyao, who had completely transformed into a wooden figure, in horror.

“What do 1 want to do? Of course, I want to become one with you!” Tao Yaoyao said excitedly.

“Humans, I finally caught you! Hahaha! I don’t have to pretend anymore!”

Not far away, Mo Xiao watched the scene with an unchanged expression.

He had already warned Jiang He, but since she didn’t listen, it was her own doing.

As Tao Yaoyao’s body fused with Jiang He’s, Jiang He found herself unable to move.

“Mo… Mo Xiao! Save me!!!” Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao in horror, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

She couldn’t even use her skills, including her Detection ability.

“Mo Xiao, do you want to save her? She’s your companion, isn’t she?”

Tao Yaoyao controlled Jiang He’s body and slowly walked towards Mo Xiao, saying, “If you want to save her, hand over the Dragonite Jade. Oh, and that Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast, give it to me too. Then I’ll spare Jiang He.” “Isn’t this a great deal? Mo…”

Before Tao Yaoyao could finish her words, she noticed that Mo Xiao had disappeared.

By the time she reacted, a massive heavy sword had ruthlessly stabbed into her and Jiang He’s chest.

“Sorry, I’m not interested. Die..”
