Quick time travel: The system wants me to save the sick girl

A few days later in the evening, they arrived at a Miao village.

Although they had just arrived in Miaojiang, the village was filled with a mysterious atmosphere and the villagers showed vigilance in their eyes when they saw them coming.

Lu Yan lifted the curtain and sat in front of the carriage with Fu Liyou.

After Fu Liyou dismounted, he followed him down and walked towards an elderly Miao man.

He exchanged a few words with the man in fluent Miao language, and then the Miao man's expression softened and he led them into the village.

"System, what are they talking about?" Lu Yan came out secretly this time, so it's not good to bring too many people.

"Say you're just passing through and staying here for the night." The system translated this to Lu Yan in due time.

At night, by the campfire, the village chief held a simple welcome ceremony for them.

The man took them to see the village chief. Because of Fu Liyou's presence, they were able to stay here for a day. After three rounds of drinks, the village chief whispered something to Fu Liyou, and the latter's face became solemn.

Lu Yan noticed the change in Fu Liyou and asked what happened. Fu Liyou was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "We may be in trouble."

"What trouble?" Lu Yan was shocked.

Fu Liyou looked towards the darkness in the distance and said in a deep voice: "The village chief said that young women have been missing in the village recently. He suspected that it was the work of the nearby mountain spirits. But I don't think it's that simple."

"That's why everyone was so alert when they saw us coming."

Lu Yan frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"

Fu Liyou thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first. Let's go around the village tomorrow and see if we can find any clues."

"You want to help them?" Lu Yan looked at him. If it were his old self, he would definitely just want to increase his favorability and would not do anything unnecessary to cause more trouble.

Fu Liyou said directly, "Yes, if you don't want to help, you can leave now."

After all, he had returned to his hometown, so he naturally would not sit idly by.

Lu Yan: "I'm just asking. If you want to help, then help me."

Fu Liyou looked at Lu Yan beside him and thought that this person was quite strange.

The next day, the two investigated in the village and found some strange traces, which seemed to point to a dense forest outside the village.

"Looks like we have to go to that forest and take a look." Fu Liyou said as he rushed towards the dense forest.

Lu Yan hurried to catch up, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"The villagers said that no one has ever been to that forest." Fu Liyou said.

The two walked into the dense forest carefully.

The forest was unusually quiet, with only the sounds of their footsteps and breathing.

As he walked, Lu Yan suddenly found a person lying under a big tree in front of him.

They went forward to check and found that it was a Miao girl who seemed to have lost consciousness.

Fu Liyou checked the girl's body and found that she was not injured, but seemed to have been frightened.

Just then, a strange sound came from all around, as if something was approaching.

"Be careful!" Fu Liyou pulled Lu Yan behind him and took out his weapon to be on guard.

They saw a group of black figures rushing out from the woods and rushing towards them. These black figures were extremely fast and were in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Fu Liyou waved the sword in his hand and started a fierce battle with them.

Lu Yan assisted from the side and took out the Crescent Sword he carried with him. Ever since he set out alone with Fu Liyou, he had carried the Crescent Sword with him in an attempt to repel these monsters.

After a hard fight, they finally wiped out the monsters.

However, when they turned around to look at the girl, they found that she had disappeared. "What on earth is going on..." Lu Yan looked at Fu Liyou with a puzzled look on his face.

Fu Liyou frowned, his heart filled with worry, "I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy behind this. We must find the truth as soon as possible and save these missing women."

"Yeah." Lu Yan was cautious. The woman's appearance was strange and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. It might be a trap.

The two decided to go back to the village and inform the village chief. After returning to the village, they told the village chief what happened.

The village chief's face changed drastically after hearing this. "Could it be the legendary Shadow Clan?"

The Shadow Clan lives deep in the jungle. They are good at manipulating shadows and are extremely mysterious.

"If it's really them, then we'll be in trouble," said Fu Liyou.

The village chief suggested that they go find a wise man who was said to know many secrets about the Shadow Clan.

Following the guidance of the village chief, they found the man.

The wise man told them that the Shadow Clan kidnapped the woman in order to awaken the sleeping Shadow King, the king of the Shadow Clan.

Once the Shadow King wakes up, it will bring disaster to the entire Miaojiang. After all, they have always been hostile to the people of Miaojiang.

The Shadow Clan is insidious and cunning. If they had not been driven away, life in Miaojiang would not be as peaceful as it is now.

"We must stop them from capturing more girls." Lu Yan said.

"Host, these are just legends. What the wise man said is not entirely correct. In fact, the Shadow King is already dead. No matter how many girls are sacrificed, he will not wake up."

Lu Yan thought for a while and then said: "It seems that some remnants still believe that the Shadow King can be resurrected." His eyes became deep and sharp.

"That's right, Master Host," the system responded, "but their remaining troops are few in number. With your and Fu Liyou's strength, you should be able to deal with them."

"But you need to be careful. These guys are just like the people in Miaojiang. They are good at using poison." The system warned.

Lu Yan nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew the power of the poison, but he would not be easily frightened. He calmly responded to the system: "Don't worry, I will handle it carefully." His voice was full of confidence.

Lu Yan and Fu Liyou looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes.

They decided to go deep into the territory of the Shadow Clan to completely uncover the mystery and rescue the trapped girl.

Following the direction indicated by the wise man, they went deeper into the dense forest.

Along the way, they were cautious and alert to the movements around them.

Suddenly, a black fog appeared in front of them, blocking their way like a barrier.

"This is the poisonous gas left by the Shadow Clan." Fu Liyou said.

Lu Yan took out the crescent sword.

Fu Liyou handed Lu Yan two pills, "They can resist these poisonous gases."

"Thank you." Lu Yan ate it without hesitation.

At this time, the system's voice sounded again: "Wait, host, I will give you another pill. There is an insect poison in your body. Be careful not to wake it up."

"Okay." Lu Yan asked.

A pill appeared out of nowhere, and Lu Yan secretly swallowed it while Fu Liyou was not paying attention.
