The current witch Zhu of Shenyou Village... Qi Yue.

The name flashed across Chi Yu and Qin Zhen's minds unconsciously.

The crowd of onlookers slowly parted to both sides, leaving a path large enough for two people to pass.

The two players looked up, only to see a girl with black hair, beautiful appearance, and wearing a light green skirt gradually approaching. There was no trace of worry on her face, but instead looked as normal as... calm.

Seeing Chi Yu and the other two, Qi Yue frowned at first, and then looked back at them as if she wanted to understand something.

She walked to the young man's side in two steps and slowly knelt down.

Shao Qing rolled his eyes with difficulty and forced a stiff smile: "Master Wu Zhu..."

Qi Yue looked at him tenderly and comforted softly: "Don't worry, you will get better soon."

After finishing speaking, she held up the young man's right hand with her palm, and placed her other hand on the back of the latter's hand.

Dreamlike multicolored rays of light bloomed from the intertwined palms of the two people. Under the rays of light, the green-gray color on the young man's face slowly faded away, replaced by a rosy color that represented health.

Chi Yu watched quietly... and inexplicably thought of the "magic" she performed for everyone when she first met Xiaoling.

After more than ten seconds, the colorful light gradually faded away.

Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a slight smile: "Okay, go back and rest for a while, and you will be able to fully recover."

"Thank you, thank you Master Wu Zhu."

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with a simple appearance walked out quickly, thanked him repeatedly, and pulled Shao Qing up by his arm.

Qi Yue smiled back: "It's just a little effort."

"Okay, okay, the matter is settled."

The enthusiastic aunt from before was very skillful in driving away the crowd, "Stop standing around here. Have you finished watering the ground? Is the food ready? No? If not, why don't you go back and continue working!"

"Don't stay here and disturb Xiaoqing's rest."

Hearing this, the residents burst into laughter. Some nodded in agreement, while others retorted with smiles... but after a while, they joked with each other and left.

The honest middle-aged man also helped Shao Qing, who had just recovered from a serious illness, back to his home.

For a time, only Qi Yue, Chi Yu and Qin Zhen were left in the entire open space.

Absolute silence suddenly enveloped him, causing Qin Zhen to move a little uncomfortably.

A few seconds later, just when she finally couldn't help but want to say goodbye, Qi Yue spoke: "This morning, Uncle Zhao went to the back mountain alone in order to repair the damaged formation base."

The two players were each confused about her sudden opening of this topic, but they tacitly agreed to remain silent.

"Theoretically speaking, after one trip, plus the time to repair or replace the formation base... he can return home in four hours at most."

Qi Yue continued, "But on the way here, I passed by his home...and found that not only was the courtyard door locked, but the oil lamps in the house had not been lit yet."

It was already evening, and half of the sun had already sunk into the western skyline. If you didn't light up the lights inside the house, it might be difficult to see normally.

"You mean..." Qin Zhen frowned, "Uncle Zhao, he encountered danger on the mountain?"

Qi Yue acquiesced: "Are you two willing to accompany me to take a look? By the way..."

She turned towards the door of Shao Qing's house, as if she wanted to see the young man who had escaped death through the wall made of earth and stone. "I also have something to tell you about Shenyou Village."

Chi Yu and Qin Zhen looked at each other.

"Of course." Qin Zhen pretended to be relaxed, "We have no reason to refuse, right?"

The dim skylight penetrated the clouds, barely illuminating the surrounding scenery, and also illuminated the three figures walking side by side on the village path.

"You must be 'outsiders', right?" Qi Yue said casually, "Are you two the only ones coming this time?"

"No, there are...eight in total."

Qin Zhen thought for a moment and decided to include Shi Ling in order to prevent Qi Yue in front of him from thinking she was lying.

——Who knows whether Qi Sheng in the fantasy world knows Shi Ling and Volger?

"I see. Do you want to split up to get more information?"

"……Yes."

Seeing Qin Zhen's weird expression of "Why are you so skilled?" Qi Yue chuckled and said: "Every once in a while, a new group of 'outsiders' will appear here, saying, 'This is an illusion, and we are all False existence' and other nonsense..."

"Okay, actually it can't be considered nonsense... Even though I already know the cause and effect, but from my standpoint, I still tend to think so. Just pretend you didn't hear it."

Qi Yue naturally changed the subject, "The batches of 'outsiders' before you were all very similar. In order to find the omissions in the illusion, they wandered around the village and looked around all day long."

"Having experienced similar things a lot, it's easy to guess your identity, purpose, and course of action."

"But I think..."

She looked at Qin Zhen and said with a smile, "It's difficult to find the flaw here, isn't it?"

Qin Zhen said "hmm": "Those people before, if nothing else... they should all have failed."

"I think so." Qi Yue looked at the blurry mountains and forests in the distance, "After all, even I, a dreamer who has lived here for many years and was told that this is an illusion, can't find anything in my daily life. Violations.”

"Only two days..."

She shook her head, "It's too harsh."

Chi Yu listened silently.

Seeing that the conversation between the two had come to an end, she interrupted: "Can I ask a few questions?"

"Of course." Qi Yue nodded politely, "Whether it's the master or the ancestor, or the 'created' ones like us, they all have one common expectation - to kill the fallen gods."

"We'll do whatever it takes to help."

Sure enough, the previous "outsiders" informed her about the overt and covert struggles between the first and third witches.

Chi Yu nodded gently: "In this... time and space of yours, what is the state of your master? Where is the master who defected?"

Qi Yue thought for a while and started from the beginning: "One hundred and twenty-three years ago, my uncle... who was the eighth high priest of Shenyou Village, led the sacrificial team on the journey as in previous years. Huan Mountain.”

"At that time, the mountain god had already completely fallen, and the uncle who knew nothing about it and was defenseless... lost his life so easily."

"Even, it turned into an evil and terrifying monster."

The girl's cold voice was mixed with a ray of sadness, like a red plum tree in the snow, extremely eye-catching and dazzling.
