As the days passed by amidst wind and rain, the brother and sister's money gradually dwindled.

During these days, away from their parents, they witnessed too much of the cruelty of humanity.

They were scammed, arrested, and threatened.

Fortunately, Yang Jian and his sister were no ordinary people at this time, and ordinary people could not do anything to them, but they made them suffer a lot.

After running out of money, the road ahead was more difficult than expected.

During the day they hid in the mountains and forests to avoid being seen, and relied on wild fruits and stream water to fill their stomachs;
Traveling by moonlight at night, Yang Chan's straw sandals wore through, and her soles were cut and bleeding from the stones, but she gritted her teeth and refused to complain of being tired.

However, these are not the most difficult parts.

Besides these, there is also the 3,000-mile journey.

Along the way, they not only had to evade the pursuit of the Great Golden Crow, but also had to be constantly vigilant against the monsters they encountered.

However, even with such caution,

But they still couldn't escape the ferocious monster.

That evening, as they were walking along a deserted mountain path, they suddenly smelled the aroma of roasted meat, which drifted into their nostrils on the wind.

Yang Chan paused, swallowed hard, and looked towards the dense forest beside the mountain path: "Brother, smell..."

Yang Jian also subconsciously swallowed. There was no way around it; let alone meat, they hadn't eaten anything for a long time and were starving. Faced with the aroma of roasted meat, they naturally couldn't resist.

But after a brief moment of fascination, Yang Jian quickly came to his senses, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously pulled Yang Chan behind him.

In this desolate wilderness at this time of year, where does such a rich fragrance come from?
He stared intently and saw several faint green lights flickering deep in the dense forest, like the eyes of wild beasts, yet exuding an indescribable eeriness.

"Don't make a sound, let's go around it." Yang Jian lowered his voice and pulled Yang Chan, trying to move to the other side of the mountain path.

"Mmm." Yang Chan nodded obediently. Although she was starving, she was very sensible and listened to her second brother.

As Yang Jian had predicted, things turned out just as he had expected.

In the dense forest, there were several monsters gathered together, drinking and eating heartily, laughing loudly.

The leader was a tiger demon, with several fox demons and wolf demons under his command.

However, even though Yang Jian and Yang Chan were careful enough, they were still discovered.

"Hey, where did this little brat come from, daring to sneak around on your Tiger Grandpa's territory?" The tiger demon's voice was rough and hoarse like thunder. He sniffed the air and, after smelling out the two uninvited guests, Yang Jian and Yang Chan, he suddenly slapped the blue stone next to him, and the stone cracked with several fine lines.

He was a burly man whose fur gleamed in the twilight. In an instant, he stood in front of Yang Jian and his sister, his large, round eyes fixed on them, drool dripping from the corners of his mouth.

The wolf demon next to them lit up when he saw Yang Jian and his sister: "Big brother, these two kids look so fair and tender, much rarer than the wild boar meat we roast."

His eyes darted around, yet they held a chilling, predatory quality, and his sharp claws gleamed bluish-white in the moonlight.

"All you ever do is eat, eat, eat. In this desolate wilderness, there's actually such a beauty. I think it would be perfect to capture her and make her my brother's wife." The fox demon looked at Yang Chan with a sinister smile on his face.

"The woman was captured to be his wife, and the man was killed."

For a while.

All the monsters burst into laughter.

Yang Jian held Yang Chan tightly behind him, cold sweat pouring down his back. He hadn't expected that even though he was being so careful, he would still be discovered.

Looking at the many monsters before him, he clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and cold sweat mixed with dirt stuck to his palms. He could only humbly say, "We are just passing by and have no intention of disturbing you. Please let us pass."

However, the tiger demon completely ignored Yang Jian. Instead, he carefully examined Yang Chan and his eyes lit up. He was amazed by Yang Chan's beauty and laughed loudly at the demons behind him, saying, "She is indeed very good-looking. I didn't even notice her in the dark. Brothers, what do you think of this woman as your sister-in-law?"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

The monsters immediately cheered.

Yang Chan's face turned pale, and she instinctively hid behind Yang Jian.

However, it didn't work!
The tiger demon laughed loudly and raised his hand to suck Yang Chan in. Yang Chan's body was then uncontrollably drawn towards the tiger demon!
"Second Brother!!!" Yang Chan cried out in terror.

"Third Sister!" Yang Jian exclaimed in alarm, roaring as he charged forward, "If you dare touch my sister, I'll fight you to the death!"

However, when faced with Yang Jian's attack, the tiger demon impatiently blocked and slashed, and Yang Jian was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Yang Chan stopped screaming. Even though she was trembling with fear, she still cried out, "I beg you, I beg you to let my second brother go! If you let my second brother go, I will agree to anything you ask. If you don't let him go, Yang Chan will commit suicide immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding monsters burst into laughter.

This is so heartbreaking to watch!

Is this still the Erlang Shen Yang Jian I know?

[Tragic! Absolutely tragic!]

[To be bullied like this by a few ordinary monsters, this...this...]

[I never imagined that Erlang Shen could be so powerless at one point.]

【Ugh! These damned monsters!】

Damn those monsters! Damn the Heavenly Court! Damn the Jade Emperor!

The viewers in the live stream were also in an uproar, and they started cursing.

Liu Ruyan was heartbroken to see this; she had never seen her second brother like this before.

In the main storyline, the Erlang Shen Yang Jian she saw was always so spirited, powerful, and omnipotent. Even Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, was captured by him. But now...

Looking at the monsters that had captured Yang Chan, Liu Ruyan felt a surge of anger. These monsters were unforgivable!

Unfortunately, she's still watching the opening CG and hasn't entered the script yet, so she can't help Yang Chan and Yang Jian...

Just as Liu Ruyan was thinking this...

She suddenly discovered that she had entered a dungeon and seemed to be able to move.

However, she is not entering the instance with any identity or image at this moment, but has become Yang Jian in his current form!
He stood up from the ground, his eyes still showing some confusion.

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

The viewers in the live stream naturally saw this scene as well, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

They never expected that this time, the game would start with them playing the role of Yang Jian.

"Haha, big brother, look! Why isn't that silly boy moving anymore?"

"Could it be that you chopped him into a daze with your sword, brother?"

"Hahaha, very likely! Big Brother is incredibly powerful! Invincible under Heaven!"

The demons laughed loudly at Yang Jian's appearance. Liu Ruyan, however, glared at them, her eyes filled with rage, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Release Yang Chan!"

Having said that, he casually picked up the expression beside him and charged straight at the tiger demon again!

Seeing this, the tiger demon became impatient and ordered, "Attack!"

Several demons obeyed the order and charged towards Yang Jian.

The wolf demon bared its sharp teeth, growled, and lunged at Yang Jian. Its footprints sank deep into the mud.

however.

The Yang Jian of today is completely different from the Yang Jian of just now.

At this point, Yang Jian had neither martial arts skills nor supernatural powers. Although he possessed some magical power, it was not strong, and he didn't know how to use it. He was completely ignorant of everything. It could be said that he was at his weakest. Without exaggeration, at this stage, he was even weaker than a player.

"Get out of my way!" Liu Ruyan's gaze was sharp as a knife. Just as the wolf demon pounced, she roared and her blood surged.

After dodging the wolf demon's attack, he slammed his fist down on the wolf demon's knee. The wolf demon was startled and, although he dodged quickly, he still stumbled because he dodged too hastily.

Taking advantage of the wolf demon's unsteady stance, Liu Ruyan swung her weapon again, smashing it hard into its eyes. The wolf demon cried out in pain, letting out a shrill scream, and staggered back while clutching its eyes.

The other monsters that surrounded them were also dealt with by Liu Ruyan's superb martial arts skills.

But Liu Ruyan herself was also panting heavily, and she looked at her hands with a look of astonishment on her face.

She has also played the role of Yang Jian, the second brother, before. In previous event dungeons, she spent most of her time playing the role of Yang Jian, the second brother.

In the past, she had only felt that he was incredibly powerful and invincible, unlike how weak she was now.

[Holy crap, even Emperor Ruyan is having such a hard time?!]

[Now I understand why the top 100 players in the arena can enter this dungeon early—because anyone outside the top 100 simply can't clear it!]

[Letting us experience the mighty Erlang Shen while also feeling his weakness—the official team behind *Mythology* is truly up to no good!]

But I must say, it really touched me deeply!

If the previous Erlang Shen was at his strongest, the current Erlang Shen is clearly at his weakest; he can't even defeat a few minor demons. Sigh.

"You're courting death!" The tiger demon was enraged at the sight and slammed its giant, fan-like claws toward Yang Jian with a powerful gust of wind.

Liu Ruyan dared not take the blow head-on and quickly dodged to the side, but she was still hit on the arm by the claw wind, leaving three deep bloody marks that revealed the bone.

"Brother!" Yang Chan exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing that its first attack had missed, the tiger demon attacked Liu Ruyan again. Liu Ruyan gasped for breath, barely managing to block or dodge each attack.

Although this tiger demon wasn't a powerful demon, it was probably a monster that had cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years. It was something that Liu Ruyan couldn't defeat in her current state. After a long battle, Liu Ruyan also revealed a weakness.

"Die!" The tiger demon seized the opening and attacked Liu Ruyan directly.

At this critical moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly felt a burning sensation between her brows, and that familiar golden light reappeared.

It is the Heavenly Eye!

After some difficult trial and error, she finally managed to use Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye.

This time, the golden light was more intense than ever before, transforming into a vertical eye phantom above his head, exuding an awe-inspiring and inviolable divine might. The golden light was like lightning, piercing straight into the tiger demon's face.

"What is this?!" The tiger demon's pupils changed drastically, and fear appeared on his face for the first time. Although he did not know what it was, he could feel a huge threat from it.

He tried desperately to resist, but to no avail. The golden light instantly entered the tiger demon's eyes, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream. He was sent flying backward, covering his eyes and rolling wildly on the ground. His fur began to sizzle and emit a burnt smell.

Not long after, he suddenly stopped breathing.

"Big brother!" The fox demon and the remaining monsters were shocked at the sight and dared not step forward, retreating one after another.

But Liu Ruyan wouldn't give them a chance. Her Heavenly Eye unleashed its fury, wiping out all the monsters.

After doing all this, Liu Ruyan felt that her magic power was exhausted, she was dizzy and her body began to sway and fall down.

Her consciousness began to slowly detach from Yang Jian's body, and the plot once again entered CG.

"Second brother!!!"

Yang Chan, who was now out of danger, saw this scene and rushed over crying. She helped Yang Jian up and asked, choking back tears, "Second Brother, are you alright?"

"It's nothing..." Yang Jian smiled weakly and replied.

He did feel fine, but he felt weak all over and exhausted.

Yang Chan threw herself into her arms, crying her heart out: "Second Brother, I was so scared... I thought I would never see you again..."

"Don't be afraid, Third Sister, it's all over now." Yang Jian gently patted her back, his voice a little hoarse from the outburst, but he was also relieved.

The moonlight shone on the brother and sister, illuminating their wounds and muddy bodies.

After resting for a while, Yang Jian struggled to his feet and, supporting each other, continued to walk southward step by step with great difficulty.

The road ahead is still long, and danger has never left, but as long as the brother and sister are together, as long as they are still alive, they must reach Yuquan Mountain and become disciples of the Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Only in this way can they become stronger, take revenge, and save their mother.

The dungeon run ended only after the two figures disappeared into the darkness.

And Liu Ruyan's live stream room.

It's very lively right now.

[Holy crap, no wonder he's Emperor Ruyan! One-life clear! That was amazing!]

[There were no numerical values, just pure manipulation. That sudden flash of the "Heavenly Eye" gave me goosebumps!]

Seeing the FAST telescope moved me deeply.

[Waaaaah, brothers, a streamer next door failed. If he doesn't defeat these monsters, Yang Jian will be beaten to death, and Yang Chan will commit suicide.]

[A player in the top 100 of the competition still lost? Wow, that's incredibly difficult! Only someone like Emperor Ruyan could pull that off!]

[That's right, you should know that Emperor Ruyan's martial arts were taught by Erlang Shen himself!]

And at this time.

After passing the initial cutscene, the dungeon officially begins.

The first thing that appeared before Liu Ruyan was the lineup selection.

[Yang Jian] or [Heavenly Court]

Liu Ruyan glanced at it and chose Yang Jian's side without hesitation.

If not Yang Jian, should we choose the Heavenly Court?

Does anyone actually do this?

How could that be! (End of Chapter)
