Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 160: Isn't Song Wanwan doomed?
A gust of wind blew by, and the black mist dispersed, revealing a figure covered in hair.

It looks a bit like a tall, thin black monkey.

The thing wrapped one arm around Song Wanwan, hoisted her onto its shoulder, and quickly disappeared.

"Help, help!"

Song Wanwan's shouts disappeared into the depths of the woods.

"what is that?!"

Song Shixing was startled. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to chase after them.

Lu Jiaqi said with a look of horror, "This thing looks a bit like a human, but... upon closer inspection, it's not human at all. It must be a monster from the Ailao Mountains!"

Song Shixing's face turned pale. "I also think it's not human. It's covered in black fur, and only has one leg and one arm. It looks like... it looks like..."

At this point, Song Shixing felt a chill run down his spine. "Let's leave here quickly and find another way to get to our destination. This place isn't safe!"

"What does it look like?"

Lu Jiaqi looked at him and pressed for an answer.

Jiang Nanxi then said, "He looks like the One-Legged Wulang from Ailao Mountain, also known as the Inverted-Legged Immortal. The Classic of Mountains and Seas describes him as having a human face and a beast's body, with one foot and one hand, and living on Gang Mountain."

Ailao Mountain is located in Yunnan Province. In some parts of Yunnan, the one-legged Wulang is worshipped as a minor god of wealth, kept in the home for worship, to bring wealth to the family. However, this creature is not a true deity, and its worship presents many problems, somewhat similar to the practice in Thailand of worshipping a minor ghost for wealth.

If you can no longer continue to make offerings, you must use specific methods to remove it, otherwise it will bring disaster to your home.

Deprived of human offerings, the one-legged Goro would wander into the mountains, becoming a mountain demon, capturing lone travelers, taking them to his cave, stuffing their mouths, noses, and ears with cow dung, and sucking their life essence.

"Then Song Wanwan is doomed?"

Lu Jiaqi said regretfully, "This one-legged Wulang is too fast. We can't catch up with him. We don't even know where Song Wanwan has been taken."

"uncertain."

Jiang Nanxi said, "The aura emanating from that one-legged Goro is a bit strange."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nanxi's watch beeped; someone from the Psionic Bureau had sent her a message.

She took it out and glanced at it. It was a message from Ye Shutong, saying that they had also come to Ailao Mountain.

Some time ago, many tourists went missing in the Ailao Mountains. A large number of people were sent in to search the mountains, but the search team members got lost in the mountains and had to withdraw in the end.

The Psionic Bureau also sent people in to search, but all of them were involved in an accident and only two photos were sent back.

Ye Shutong sent the photo to Jiang Nanxi.

One of the photos is taken on a cliff deep in the Ailao Mountains, showing a male corpse that has been disemboweled and nailed to the cliff face.

The man's features were obscured, as his eyes, mouth, and nose were covered in brown mud. Near the corpse lay a clay statue, broken into several pieces.

The other photo wasn't as scary.

But the photo also shows a corpse, which died from having its throat slit with a knife.

However, next to the corpse, a cracked clay statue also fell to the ground.

Ye Shutong: [The corpse in the first photo is neither a tourist nor one of our people. Based on his clothing and the totem tattoos on his skin, we determined that he was from a primitive tribe in the Ailao Mountains.]

The body in the second photo is one of the first group of tourists to go missing.

Although the two deaths occurred in different ways, both bodies were found next to a cracked clay statue of a deity, leading us to suspect a connection between their deaths.

Jiang Nanxi: [Which primitive tribe are you going to?] Ye Shutong: [Yes, we've already entered the Ailao Mountains and are heading to the Saba tribe's territory. Those who disappeared in the Ailao Mountains are likely dead. I need to find their bodies and figure out how they died.]

Jiang Nanxi: [I just encountered the "One-Legged Goro" in the mountains. The way the deceased in the first photo died looks like he was drained of his life force by the One-Legged Goro.]

Ye Shutong: [At first, we also suspected that it was "One-Legged Wulang" who killed him, but when I looked through the ancient books, they all recorded that the "One-Legged Wulang" was a monster that was good at hooking souls and swallowing life essence, and there was no text describing that it liked to eat human flesh and blood.]

The victim in the first photo had been disemboweled, and all his internal organs were missing, as if he had been eaten by some kind of creature.

Upon seeing Ye Shutong's message, Jiang Nanxi thought of the "one-legged goro" she had just encountered.

"Has it mutated? Has it started eating meat?"

Jiang Nanxi muttered something to herself, and then she saw a team link sent by Ye Shutong on her watch, inviting her to go to the Saba tribe's territory to investigate the matter.

The link Ye Shutong sent was an internal link to the Psionic Bureau. Once Jiang Nanxi filled in the information, she could obtain detailed information related to the mission.

She can also find out the task level and the reward after completing the task from the link.

This is also an S-class extremely dangerous mission.

Seeing the generous reward, Jiang Nanxi promptly filled out the information and submitted it.

Anyway, the Saba tribe's ancestral home is not far from theirs, so they can stay there for the night.

Jiang Nanxi checked the location of the Saba tribe and then led her teammates to change their route.

Jiang Nanxi said to the others, "It's getting dark. There's a primitive tribe nearby. Let's go and stay there for the night. It should be safer and more comfortable than staying in the forest."

The others had no objections and followed her.

As darkness fell, the forest became increasingly dark, making hiking more and more difficult.

Jiang Nanxi then had the rooster take out a super-powerful flashlight from the storage space. Once the flashlight was turned on, it was as bright as day within a fifty-meter radius.

The owl in the woods had just opened its eyes to hunt when a flashlight shone on it, and it closed its eyes again to continue sleeping.

Netizens were initially worried about their safety, since it was getting dark and they hadn't reached their destination yet.

As a result, seeing the rooster's antics, viewers of the show have all moved to Bengbu.

Our little monster is like a magic pocket, it has everything! Let's call you Doraemon the Arrogant One!

[Hahahaha, why is Aotian's flashlight so powerful? It feels like it would blind you if you walked right in front of it!]

[Owl: Hmm? Time for bed again?]

They continued walking and came to a large, sunken basin with many wooden buildings, probably near the territory of the Saba people.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the nearby woods, followed by a mournful female voice.

Have you seen my child?

"My child is missing. Has anyone seen my child?"

"My child..."

The mournful voice grew closer and closer to them, as if whispering in their ears.

Lu Jiaqi suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from behind, and goosebumps rose all over his body. He froze on the spot, afraid to move.

"Jiang Nanxi, I...I feel like there's someone behind me...Can you help me check?!"

Jiang Nanxi took the flashlight and turned it towards Lu Jiaqi.
