Chapter 2 The Best Brother Becomes a Ghost Slave
Zhang Meng patted Xu Ran on the back and complained: "It's nothing more than eating some raw meat, you have to be thankful that they didn't have any malicious intentions, otherwise you and I wouldn't be able to meet like this...

This is not a place to talk, I will send you down the mountain right now. "

"Okay, let's go together..."

Here, I dare not ask Zhang Meng how he became a ghost. Seeing what he said, Xu Ran pretended to be less afraid, and secretly looked at the mountain god standing not far away.

The other hand of the mountain god had an extra torch at some point, reflecting that he was wearing a sleeveless thick armor lined with a black robe, and the big stick with exaggerated barbs was a huge mace.

But the fire was beating so close, but it still couldn't illuminate his face.

"Who is that?"

This sentence is for the mountain god.

"Don't ask, let's go, the mountain is not clean!"

Zhang Meng pushed Xu Ran, motioned him to go first, walked up to the mountain god himself, and respectfully saluted: "Master Mountain God, I will return as soon as I send my friend down the mountain, and I dare not delay."

The mountain god handed him the torch, and said indifferently: "Don't forget your promise, be my ghost slave for 100 years, come back immediately when the torch goes out."

Zhang Meng took the torch respectfully and strode towards Xu Ran.

Xu Ran clearly heard the conversation between the two, "Zhang Meng, is that man really a mountain god? How do you know the mountain god?"

"Don't ask! Go!!"

Zhang Meng, who is usually talkative, didn't say a word at this moment, holding a torch first, dragging Xu Ran to run down the mountain.

Xu Ran staggered and followed behind. The torch in front emitted a light blue flame. The flame was not big, but it could illuminate a place with a radius of several feet.

And no matter how the mountain wind blows, no matter how fast they run, the flames are as stable as old dogs, impartial, and will not flicker.

Being within the range of the torch light, Xu Ran felt that the weather in July should have been hot, but the air was as cold as late autumn.

not right...

The torch of the mountain god is really evil!
Xu Ran asked anxiously: "Why did the mountain god help us? What does he mean by ghost slave?"

Zhang Meng still didn't talk, he was so strong that he almost dragged Xu Ran to run wildly.

The brilliance of the torch seems to have a mysterious force of expulsion. The weeds and trees in the mountains recede to both sides automatically, and even the thousands of ravines in the mountains become flat.

Xu Ran only felt the wind in his ears, and strode straight down the mountain almost in a straight line.

The questions in my heart didn't get any answers.

With the light of the torches and his running extremely smoothly, Xu Ran gradually calmed down.

Suddenly remembered that next to the game monsters generated in the system, there was a [View] item, and with a thought, the interface of [Little Ghost and Wild Monster] appeared in his mind.

Select View.

Another Zhang Meng appeared in front of his eyes, except that his feet were suspended above the ground, and there was a red blood streak on his head, he was no different from Zhang Meng himself.

Next to the red blood bar, there is also a small number "3+1" representing his level, in green and gold fonts respectively.

When Xu Ran's attention fell on [Explanation], one picture after another appeared in his mind.

On a scorching afternoon, Zhang Meng and Xu Ran were routinely patrolling the streets, when they suddenly heard the call for catching thieves, the two chased after the sound one after the other...

It was almost dusk, and the thief had nowhere to escape, so he plunged into the dense forest of Taohua Ridge, and the two chased after him without hesitation...

It was completely dark all around, and the thief who was running in front suddenly stopped running, poking there like a tree stump in a daze.

Just when they thought the other party was exhausted and took a breath to catch the thief, the thief turned around crying and ran towards them, only to run a few steps when he was caught by a black shadow rushing out from the slanting stab throw down.

The black shadow let out the roar of a wild beast biting its prey, and the little thief screamed twice before it stopped abruptly.

Xu Ran and Zhang Meng in the picture were frightened dumbfounded.

It wasn't until a bloody arm that had just been torn off almost fell on Zhang Meng's face that he turned pale and shouted, "Run?!"

The two ran desperately, their clothes were scratched by the branches, bloodstains ooze from the holes, suddenly there was a gust of wind behind them, and the air was filled with the stench of beasts...

A huge black shadow rushed forward and knocked them down at the same time. Strangely, a soft white mask burst out from Xu Ran's body, protecting him inside. The black shadow seemed to be a little afraid of the white light, and picked Zhang Meng just ran away...

The screen switched to another place, where Zhang Meng knelt in front of the mountain god in an illusory form, begging bitterly: "Please take me to save Xu Ran, the mountain god, I saw with my own eyes that he is not dead... A century-old ghost slave."

Then the screen returns to Zhang Meng in the system, with some more explanatory text.

[Explanation: Ghost slave Zhang Meng, long-cherished wish unfulfilled, grievance lingering, sold himself as a slave, got the protection of the mountain god, level +1. 】

After exiting the system, Xu Ran looked at Zhang Meng who was holding himself up to run with a torch, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

He died, sold his soul, would rather be a ghost slave for 100 years, and protect himself to go down the mountain safely...

This is the friendship that we have been together since we were young, playing bare buttocks until we grow up!
Xu Ran's eyes couldn't help getting moist.

Because of my good brother Zhang Meng, it seems that I may be saved, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to come down to Taohualing!
Another question appeared in Xu Ran's mind.

What was the soft white light glowing from the predecessor when that black shadow rushed forward?
Could it be that he has a magic weapon that can automatically protect the Lord?
Xu Ran groped his body repeatedly with his other hand, but he didn't find anything unusual.

……

With little effort, the mountain under my feet has really become gentle, and the sparse lights of the village can be seen from a distance.

Zhang Meng just stopped, took a look at Xu Ran, and said, "Xu Ran, I can only send it here. If we go further, we will leave the boundary of Taohua Ridge, which is Wanxi Town where we used to live."

"Why don't you go back with me?"

Xu Ran's voice was a little choked up, he really couldn't pretend anymore, if he continued to pretend to be confused to Zhang Meng, his conscience would hurt like being bitten by a dog.

Fortunately, Zhang Meng confessed, he sighed, and said: "We ran all the way down, you should have noticed something unusual."

Xu Ran asked urgently, "You...why did you do this?"

"Alas," Zhang Meng sighed again, "I have already been eaten by that demonized black bear, and now I am just a wronged soul with obsessions, because I can't let go of my mother and my sister, so my soul lingers and condenses shape.

Fortunately, I met the mountain god, and begged him so hard that he allowed me to take you down the mountain. I need your promise to save you, and take care of my elderly mother and younger sister who has not left the cabinet.

Xu Ran, can you promise me?For my mother's retirement, help my sister find a good family, it would be even better if you could marry her, I know, she always has you in her heart..."

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the picture seen in the system.

"Brother Meng, don't worry, my aunt is my mother, and Yun'er is my sister."

After Xu Ran learned the truth, the surroundings seemed to be safe, and his whole body collapsed. He felt sad for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

He sniffled and said, "Since there are monsters and monsters in this world, there will be gods and immortals. Maybe people can be resurrected after death. Tell me, is there any way to save you? Or we can ask the mountain god for help. Since he is a god, I must be able to make you..."

When Zhang Meng heard that Xu Ran did not promise to marry his younger sister, his eyes dimmed, "It's useless, the Lord Mountain God has already given me a favor, I will be his entourage for a hundred years, and we will meet again if there is a chance, besides, my body has been destroyed by that The bear demon ate it, leaving only the left arm, it is impossible to revive..."

Suddenly, the torch in Zhang Meng's hand flickered a few times, then went out in a flutter.

He said nervously: "Master Mountain God is urging me to go back, remember not to avenge me, ordinary people are definitely not the opponents of that demon bear, I have to go..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Meng's body, together with the extinguished torch, faded away like an illusion, and was pulled by a huge force, and retreated quickly into the darkness on the mountain.

His mouth opened and closed quickly, as if he was telling Xu Ran something, but he didn't make any sound until the figure disappeared completely.

Only half of the pale arm that was broken and bloodless was left, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

"Zhang Meng!"

Xu Ran was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in front of his broken arm, and kowtowed four times heavily.

After kowtowing, he took off his coat, wrapped his stumped arm on his back, turned around and ran towards the lights of the village at high speed.
