The Devil Inside

As long as it takes action, it is confident that it can find his trace and then kill him!

"Om-!"

The queen bee plummeted and attacked Rachel again. Her attention was so focused on her surroundings that she missed a crucial detail.

By the time it discovered it, it was too late—

Rachel dropped her defense.

"what……"

Her body temperature continued to rise, and Rachel's cheeks turned red, a hot blush, and she couldn't help but exhale hot air.

The heat was transmitted, and the Blood-Roaring Sword glowed. When the accumulated energy reached a certain critical value, flames ignited on the sword body.

Rachel looked at the swooping queen bee with a determined gaze.

"She wants to... risk her life?"

The queen bee thought instinctively.

It was incredible and incomprehensible. Although it was only a brief contact, the Queen Bee understood that the female swordsman did not have a strong physique.

Unable to defend herself against the violent onslaught, she fought against herself and had to ensure her own safety before seeking to counterattack.

why?

Why did she suddenly become so brave?

In a trance, the queen bee recalled a scene that made her sad and furious—her offspring hugged her tightly and resolutely protected her as she rushed out of the sea of fire.

Is this female swordsman in front of me somewhat similar to her offspring?

"Is it... 'trust'?"

The spider silk shot out, more than one.

Nearly a hundred bone-white silk threads intertwined and woven together, like a net, spraying towards the queen bee!

The queen bee saw it clearly.

Throughout, the caster lay flat in the bushes, burying himself in strange mosses, disguising himself as a mossy stone.

The spider web covered its head, greatly weakening its charging momentum.

"ember!"

The next moment, bright red flames rolled and poured out like a dam bursting with chocolate syrup.

The female swordsman's blade fell on its head, easily cutting it into two pieces, cutting it vertically!

Its body and internal organs were licked by the flames, and in the blink of an eye they were charred and smelly. Rachel's full-strength attack, coupled with the sharpness of the Blood-Roaring Sword, ended the battle!

Han Solo climbed up, the moss on his body falling off.

He gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done!"

Rachel put away her sword and stood, smiling at him: "Good cooperation. I knew you would interfere, so I dared to swing with all my strength, and finally succeeded with one sword!"

……

……

"Well done! We killed all those bees. The three of us are so strong together!"

What's wrong with you?

Han Solo looked at the boastful Leila and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Let's keep going until we get to the next base."

The opportunity was lost and regained, and Rachel was very anxious.

The fire in the apiary was still going on, but it didn't matter. Creatures contaminated by magic would not die on their own. Even if the dead zone was broken, the corrupted plants and animals would still exist.

A huge fire plowing through the house and sweeping away the holes is the cheapest way to deal with the crisis in the dead zone.

However, the effect is usually not good, and it is still necessary to use premium commissions to recruit idle adventurers to patrol and clean up.

Under Rachel's command, the horses ran through the apiary on the embers, unafraid of the flames.

After that, the journey was smooth and the occasional monsters were easily dealt with. The three of them discussed and decided to work harder as time was running out.

They did not stop when they passed the first stronghold.

After running all night and all day, killing two horses, we finally reached the last stronghold at two or three in the morning of the next day.

"Is that a stronghold? Isn't that a village?"

Leila rode on her horse, looking at the village with some lights ahead.

Rachel said, "That's 'Xiaoye Village', a very unlucky village located on the core edge of this dead zone. After the dead zone erupted, some villagers refused to leave, most of them were elderly people. The village chief was a responsible person. He led the militia, tied up the elderly, loaded them on a car, and transported them to Mofang Town."

"The village chief is a very nice person!"

"He is indeed an outstanding leader. After sending the villagers away, he was willing to take risks and stay in the base to help handle affairs." Rachel smiled, "Let's go. We will enter the core tomorrow, so we must get enough rest tonight."

"Yeah! The conditions in the village should be better, and sleeping will be more comfortable."

The three of them walked towards the Xiaoye Village stronghold, two in front and one behind.

Han Solo was hanging at the end of the team, listening to the conversation between Leila and Rachel and finding it funny.

Washing away the roads in Mill Valley was not Adrian's entire plan; it was just the appetizer.

If it were just that, then Rachel wouldn't disappear after the first round when playing the game.

The real test is to take advantage of the situation and use a vicious strategy to read people's minds...

Right in Xiaoye Village!

"When I play games, I can save and load the game, but I haven't found a way to crack it."

Han Solo looked at the village ahead.

He thought again: "Now that I have traveled through time and am in the same situation, what can I do?"

Xiaoye Village in the dark night seems to be grinning.

Chapter 13 #013 Coming

The horseshoes stepped on the bluestone slabs, making a clattering sound.

"who!"

There were guards standing at the entrance of Xiaoye Village. When they saw someone coming in the dark night, they clenched their guns.

"It's me, Leila Justin."

"…Lady Leila?"

Leila introduced herself and handed over her identity documents.

The guard took a look and found it was true.

"Lady Leila, please come in!"

Despite traveling day and night, they still arrived two hours later than expected. The road to the bee farm was more winding than expected. Han Solo's butt was numb from the bumps, and he didn't want to ride a horse for at least three months.

In a short while, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, dressed as a hunter, came over.

He had short brown hair like steel needles and a very determined face. He spoke with excitement in his tone: "Lady Leila, you are here? Great, I will take you to your accommodation."

Leila wasn't too stupid: "Are you the head of Xiaoye Village?"

"Yes. I am currently the coordinator of the Xiaoye Village base, serving the adventurers who come and go."

Adventurer...sir?

Han Solo said bluntly: "Adventurers are 3D people. You call them adults behind their backs. I can't imagine what you call them to their faces."

Leila asked, "What is a 3D person?"

"Low quality, low culture, low IQ."

"..."

Leila was speechless.

Rachel shook her head. She had to admit that Han Solo's conclusion made sense.

An adventurer is not even worthy of being a dog.

It was okay around Arendelle, where the society was relatively civilized. But in areas with underdeveloped economies and weak control by local lords, adventurers were almost the same as bandits, and it was difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference between the two.

She reminded him, “Han, you are also an adventurer.”

"I'm not sooner or later."

Han Solo responded casually, and the village chief kept smiling apologetically beside him.

He said: "Xiaoye Village... there is really nothing we can do now! The dead zone has erupted, and I don't know how long it will take to restore peace. During this period, I can only place my hopes on the adventurers. If they don't come, I'm afraid this village..."

Han Solo and others were silent upon hearing this.

The village chief is right.

No matter how well the dead zone disaster is handled, it cannot be compared with the situation before the outbreak.

Manpower is limited, and there are always demonized beasts that escape in the mountains and forests.

If ordinary villagers encounter this, there is nothing they can do but be more careful in their next life.

Leila said: "The difficult days will definitely pass. The human race has never been truly defeated. If you read the history books carefully, you will find that despite encountering many difficulties and even being in danger of extinction several times, our human power has been expanding."

“…I hope so!”

The village chief couldn't be optimistic.

It only hurts when the slap hits his own face. He really has a cow at home.

The village chief pointed to a small hotel in front and said, "Lady Leila, this is the only hotel in Xiaoye Village. I'm running it these days. There's plenty of hot water in the bathroom. You can take a bath first. I'll go cook for you. You must be hungry, right?"

"Thank you."

"No, I should be the one thanking you." The village chief said very seriously, "Everyone in the village is very happy to hear that you will personally take action. Master Leila, everything is up to you!"

"...I will definitely destroy this dead zone within these two days."

Han Solo and the other two led the horses to the stable and went to the water room to get hot water.

The village chief prepared the room during the day today.

Under the dim kerosene lamplight, the old floor full of scratches was spotless and shiny. In a trance, Han Solo saw the village chief kneeling on the ground, wiping the floor inch by inch with a cloth.

It's the same for simple and vulnerable people.

They will treat those who help them with the utmost sincerity and do their best.

They cannot be sure whether the person who comes has the ability to solve the problem or whether he sincerely wants to solve the problem;

All they know is that few people are willing to help them, and they can hardly feel the goodwill of the public.

Suddenly, a "suspected savior" came——

Naturally, they gave it their all.

Han Solo took off his shoes and entered the house, poured the hot water in the wooden bucket into the bathtub, took off his clothes and soaked.

Gulu...

Gulu gulu gulu...

Well? !

Han Solo leaned against the bathtub, rising and falling several times.

Maybe the hot bath was too comfortable, or maybe I was too tired after running around for a whole day and night. The sleepiness was like a tsunami and I couldn't resist it at all.

After struggling for several times, his head tilted and he fainted on the spot.

……

……

This sleep was too deep.
