Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 71 Nanxi, it's you!
After running a few meters to the right, I looked back at the monster. Its body wasn't very rotten, and its eyes were empty and lifeless. I couldn't tell what kind of beast it was.

Yuanqiao had no weapons and could only run away for the time being, with the monster quickly chasing after him on all fours.

The moment he saw the monster, the black mark in his mind reappeared.

She wasn't sure if she was in a dungeon or on the highway, so she didn't dare to use the black mark to control the corrupted monster.

Yuanqiao wanted to run back to the highway, but running that way would inevitably lead to being caught by the monster. Gritting his teeth, he continued running deeper into that direction.

She ran for a while, but wasn't too tired. Since her physical condition improved, her overall physical fitness has increased a lot.

The piercing system alerts in my ears disappeared without me noticing, and the corrupted monster that had been chasing me was gone too...

"Aren't there any other monsters? Where's the system?"

Yuanqiao looked around at the trees, which were neatly arranged. Every tree in the forest looked real, yet they were exactly the same.

There was no wind, and no other sound; it was very quiet.

It seems there's no danger anymore, but the unknown is even more terrifying.

Yuanqiao started walking back, and now she was getting scared. She ran and ran until she realized she was lost. All around her were trees that looked exactly the same, and she couldn't quite recognize the way back.

I broke off some branches, strung them with leaves to make some road signs, and stuck one in the ground every now and then.

"The system is gone, the system panel won't open. The corrupted monster is gone too... What should I do..."

Yuanqiao reluctantly chose a direction and continued on her way; it wasn't that she was overly curious or wanted to explore.

After walking for about an hour, Yuanqiao became somewhat anxious.

We changed direction and walked for a while.

Suddenly, a figure appeared.

Yuanqiao: "!"

Finally, they encountered some other commotion, and Yuanqiao quickly caught up.

The other person was also running, seemingly heading in one direction with a purpose. Yuanqiao was afraid of falling behind, so he didn't have time to continue gathering leaves to leave trail markers.

As they ran closer, the other person slowed down, and Yuanqiao was about to catch up with her.

A tower suddenly appeared in the field of vision ahead.

Yuanqiao also slowed down, not getting too close. He greeted her, and judging from her back, she was a girl.

Her target seemed to be that towering structure, reaching into the clouds. Yuanqiao had been circling around for so long without seeing it, such an obvious building.

Somewhat strange.

"Hi, miss, I'm not chasing you with any ill intentions."

The other person suddenly stopped in place, staring at the tower's gate, seemingly oblivious to Yuanqiao's voice, and offered no response.

Watching her retreating figure, Yuanqiao slowly stepped forward, wanting to say something more, but she turned around.

Yuanqiao: !!!
"Nan Xi!"

It's my best friend, Qiao Nanxi.

But why has her hair grown so long again? Although the last video of the Twin Lotuses only lasted a few seconds, it was clear that she had short hair.

"Ah! What are you doing here? That's great, Nanxi! Where is this? How did the game suddenly bring us together? Is this the item you redeemed?"

Yuanqiao was somewhat agitated and spoke incoherently.

No matter what Ren Yuanqiao said, the other person just looked at her silently without saying a word.

"Nan Xi...?"

Yuanqiao murmured her name several times, then suddenly took a few steps back, turned around and ran away!

Just now, the black mark in her mind suddenly reacted strongly, and a black aura was released from the mark into Yuanqiao's mental sea, trying to come out but was suppressed by her mental power.

Yuan Qiao called out to Qiao Nanxi several times but received no response. Under her gaze, the blackness surged even more intensely, so he suppressed his excitement and quickly fled.

Her intuition told her it was dangerous.

The fake Qiao Nanxi behind them did not catch up.

Yuanqiao grew increasingly uneasy, even developing an impulse to release black energy and destroy the artificial forest.

He fiercely suppressed the restless black energy in his mind, trying to guide it back into the mark.

Affected, Yuanqiao stumbled as he ran, bumping into a tree trunk and wincing in pain in his shoulder. His head throbbed; he was about to lose control of the dark energy, but Yuanqiao instinctively knew he couldn't let it escape from his body.

As she struggled, the scene suddenly faded, and a hand touched her shoulder.

In an instant.

The black energy in his mind returned to the mark on its own, and his headache disappeared. Yuan Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the blue sea of ​​flowers around her, and Yu Yuyao who came to help her, her sluggish mind began to work again.

It's still in the invitation copy, in the garden of Miller Manor.

A blue petal drifted down and landed on Yuanqiao's forehead.

"What happened just now?"

"The pollen of these flowers probably has hallucinogenic effects, weakening the mind. Combined with other factors, it plunged everyone into a dreamlike state between reality and illusion."

After helping Yuan Qiao up, Yu Yuyao walked to the open space next to her.

"Something else was involved? Was that just an illusion...? Okay, but it felt pretty real too..."

Otherwise, the black mark wouldn't have attracted black energy.

I wonder if there really is that tower in the artificial grove of trees by the highway, and if Nanxi is there too.

Yuanqiao paused for a moment; it seemed she wasn't the only one trapped in the illusion.

Liu Qiqi and Xingguang were also squatting motionless. Yuan Qiao tried to wake them up, but Yu Yuyao stopped him.

She said it wasn't the right time yet, and they couldn't escape the illusion.

As for the Yuanqiao Bridge, it was her tool that sensed some impending danger, and it was related to the Yuanqiao Bridge.

She used a unique method to help her break free, but she can't help the other two regain their senses right now.

"Oh, I see. Thank you so much, Sister Yao!"

Yuanqiao smiled gratefully.

Yu Yuyao told Yuan Qiao to stand further away; she was about to unleash her ultimate move.

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted from her body, spreading outwards and purposefully rushing towards the sea of ​​flowers.

"Never mind, let's not destroy these flowers."

They were afraid that Rogers would break down and make things difficult for them again.

The thorny vines were lifted up by the energy and flew out of the sea of ​​flowers, bringing with them some scattered blue petals.

Petals drifted down from the sky.

"Wow!"

I was amazed by Yao Jie's amazing skills and also by the beauty of the blue petal rain.

Yu Yuyao completed almost all the tasks assigned by the housekeeper by herself.

After unleashing her ultimate move, Yu Yuyao was a little weak. She slowly walked on the stone path in her high heels to the swing and sat down to rest.

Yuanqiao leaned closer, his eyes shining as he looked at her.

"Sister Yao, is this a natural skill or a powerful move from your cultivation technique?!"

"The technique is quite unique."

After Yu Yuyao gave a simple answer, she saw Du Wenfei coming over.

"Why haven't we seen Zhang Ruizhe? Has the butler assigned him other tasks?"

Yuanqiao: "I don't know."

I briefly told him what happened last night.

Du Wenfei frowned upon hearing this. The two weren't familiar with each other; he was the second person to enter the instance, and before him, only Zhang Ruizhe had been there. The two only exchanged a brief conversation to get to know each other.

According to his analysis, Zhang Ruizhe was arrogant in his attitude towards people, but there was nothing seriously wrong with him. Perhaps he had done something to offend the owner of the manor.

Xingguang and Liu Qiqi showed no signs of waking up. Yuanqiao, Baichen, and Du Wenfei checked other parts of the flower field for thorny vines.
