Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

As Jiang Lai ran, he glanced at the 10328 merit points he had left and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, she discovered that the point where she marked her potential teammate Strawberry was no longer moving on her personal panel.

She raised an eyebrow and rushed to the place, but was surprised to find that the strawberry she was going to pair up with... which had been very successful... had failed in the game.

The poor girl was treated as a snack by a crow.

The crow was only slightly smaller than the rabbit whose front teeth were bigger than its front mouth.

The poor girl, wearing a strawberry skirt, fell in a pool of blood, and then was treated wholeheartedly by the giant crow.

The crow was eating with relish while looking around, as if it was worried that something else would come to snatch its food.

Fortunately, with the help of Xiao Ai, Jiang Lai saw this scene from afar. She was still some distance away from the crow that was eating, so the crow, which focused 70% of its attention on eating, did not notice her.

This also helped her avoid a fierce battle.

She twitched her lips, not wanting to waste any more merit points, and instead headed southwest along the route she had previously predicted, hoping to encounter the first strawberry she had predicted.

Over the next hour, she encountered bananas, oranges, peaches, and two angry chickens chasing them.

Of course, the little flying insect she had drawn with the Thousand Machines Pen saw all of this in advance, so she successfully avoided several battles and did not waste any extra time and energy.

Seeing that there was less than half an hour left, Jiang Lai began to consider whether to use the divination skill again, but suddenly he heard a faint voice coming from under a plant not far away that was taller than a human.

"Are you...are you a strawberry too?"

Jiang Lai heard the sound and walked over to take a look, and found a pale but very handsome young man hiding behind the tall plant.

The boy was wearing a pink shirt with a strawberry pattern on it and solid-color shorts of the same color. His big, deer-like eyes were wet and he looked harmless.

He fell to the ground with a hideous wound on his right leg.

The wound was oozing blood, making the boy's exposed calf skin look even whiter.

The young man frowned. His injuries made his face pale, almost transparent. If you look closely, you can even see the fragile blood vessels beneath the skin.

"Can we pair up? This way I can leave here. I was in danger before and was injured while running away. Fortunately, I met you here, otherwise I might not be able to get out this time." The young man said to Jiang Lai, and gave her a shy and fragile smile, as if he was a delicate and fragile work of art.

"Okay." Jiang Lai walked forward with a smile, and then...

Suddenly she took out her sword and stabbed it towards the boy's chest.

"Haha, why are you pretending? If we strawberries get hurt, only sweet strawberry jam will flow out of the wound. How can it bleed?"

Jiang Lai said this in a very arrogant tone, while showing an attitude of "I understand very well".

The young man twitched his lips and his appearance suddenly changed, from a handsome little boy into a... strange-looking mushroom that was three times as tall as Jiang Lai and emitting purple-red mist!

There was a big hole on the big mushroom, which was pierced by Jiang Lai's sword.

The purple-red mist came out from that big hole.

When Jiang Lai saw the purple-red mist, he didn't know why, but he thought of the auspicious little cutie who had mist of the same color.

"Jixiang, can you eat this mushroom?"

As soon as she asked this question, the scene around her changed significantly because she saw the true form of the mushroom with the help of Xiao Ai!

The grassland was still the same grassland as before, and the stars and the moon in the sky had not changed. But the feeling given by all this was completely different!

The moonlight is as bright as water, and the silver light spreads over the boundless grassland.

In the middle of the meadow, there is a winding path paved with white stones, leading to an unknown place.

Occasionally, a cool breeze blows by, and the grass tips sway gently, making a rustling sound.

The moon in the night sky is covered by thin clouds, and a faint light shines through it, as if shrouded in a mysterious veil, making people feel a little weird.

On the grassland, there are dead grass scattered in some places. They stand out particularly in the night wind, like the eyes of some creature, spying on every living thing that approaches this land.

Suddenly, a stronger wind blew, and something seemed to move in the grass, breaking the silence.

The tips of the grass swayed, making a rustling sound, which made people feel a little chilly.

But soon, everything returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

In the distance, a few crows were calling softly, and their cries echoed in the silent grassland, adding a bit of weirdness and horror.

Surrounded by this weird atmosphere, one will involuntarily develop a feeling of insecurity.

Of course, the most terrifying and strange thing among them is the big purple mushroom in front of Jiang Lai.

Xiao Ai also quickly entered the science popularization mode.

“Phantom Mushroom: Description: A special fungus in the dungeon world. It can create illusions, confuse humans and animals, and then control the confused humans and animals and store them. When the rainy season comes, it will release spores to parasitize the controlled humans and animals, using their flesh and blood as a petri dish for its next generation.”

After some scientific research, Xiao Ai was very considerate and gave a brief but accurate summary evaluation of this phantom mushroom.

"This is a very dangerous creature."

Jiang Lai:......

She just wanted to know if she could make something delicious to nourish the injured little cutie.

"Xiao Ai, can this be given to Jixiang?"

"Phantom mushrooms are negative organisms, and they are beneficial to the recovery of damaged spirits. Moreover, after taking phantom mushrooms, spirits may also absorb its ability to create hallucinations."

Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

That means it’s edible.

That's good.

She is an activist.

When he heard that this big mushroom could be eaten by Jixiang, he immediately became excited.
