The Mystery of the Hidden Land 2

pen! How far do you want to take this! Things could get messy for you if you push it too far!" I glared at him.A gust of cold wind blew, and a black-robed, green-faced Yin official appeared before me,...Just one look at this girl's face told me she was very repulsed by me. I didn't want to cause trouble, I just wanted to get out of this hellhole as soon as possible.

So he quickly shook his head and said, "I'm just a passing barefoot doctor who took the bus because I was in a hurry."

Liang Ge'er heard this and looked at me inexplicably—which barefoot doctor could get on and off the bed of the Wuzhang (Witch King)

I frowned and gave him a look to tell him to be quiet.

Luckily, he understood and nodded. "Right, right. The Shaman King told me to hurry and send her to the southeast corner of the gate. You go find the Shaman King and report the situation—"

He turned the steering wheel to leave, but that maiden spirit was clearly not easily fooled. She reached out from the car window and grabbed Liang Xiaogē's arm, glaring at him and saying, "Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes! Come out and explain yourself clearly!"

Liang Ge’er pitifully gave me a look.

I think I'd rather go by myself. You go, and I'll drive myself, it's safer that way!

Then I pushed Liang Xiaoge and said, "You go explain, I'll leave by myself!"

He was pulled out of the car by the spirit, before he could even stand steady, I climbed into the driver's seat and shut the door.

"Woah woah woah, little princess what's up!" Liang Xiaoge jumped back and yelled at me.

I shouted without looking back, "Southeast corner, right I'll go myself. You can explain slowly! Lend me your car!"

Then let's not talk about that!

With this car, I can drive to populated areas for help.

I started driving at sixteen. I used to drive without a license on my own turf, and occasionally scraped my senior brothers' and sisters' cars, and they weren't embarrassed to let me off the hook. This made me very bold behind the wheel.

Now this domineering and mighty off-road vehicle is even rougher to drive. I'm eager to get home quickly, driving faster than Little Brother Liang, bouncing happily on the mountain road.

Liang Xiaogē was calling something behind me, but I didn't take it to heart. At worst, after running out of this mountainous area, I would just abandon the car on the roadside. If it was meant to be, he could drive it back himself.

I was driving too fast and when I went down a hill in a valley, my car took off. It landed with a heavy thud, and I patted my chest in fright.

Whew… Driving away was really nerve-wracking.

My heart was pounding, and I could faintly hear some unusual sounds in my ears.

On the driver's seat of the car sat an old water cup, with half a cup of water inside. At this moment, ripples were gently stirring on the surface of the water.

Aftershocks

On my way here, I've already encountered two or three aftershocks. The most feared thing about this terrain is landslides and rockfall — my car got its hood smashed in just like that!

On one side of the mountain, small stones began to roll down, causing me to immediately turn the steering wheel.

This aftershock was quite strong, and loose stones tumbled down the mountainside with a clatter. I slammed my foot on the accelerator and sped towards an open space ahead —

Whoosh...

A part of the hillside had collapsed at a slant, almost burying the car. Luckily, I ran fast enough...

I leaned back against the steering wheel, letting out a breath. I straightened up and patted my face.

Better to stay at home for a thousand days than to go out and face difficulties every step of the way. This trip out has truly turned my life upside down.

If I could go back, I would never argue with my father again, nor would I bully my senior brothers and sisters...

I sniffed, glancing at the cup beside me. The swaying had stopped.

Then, he raised his head to look at the mountains before him.

Emerald green, splashed like ink, bearing the scars and resilience of a disaster.

But... where is the southeast

I hesitated for a moment, then pressed the gas pedal in what I thought was the right direction.

This is my first time driving on a mountain road, and it's a truly rugged one.

After a bumpy ride for quite some time, I looked at the dense forest in front of me and was completely dumbfounded.

I firmly believe that as long as you keep walking forward, you'll eventually find the main road. Nowadays, with our country's well-developed transportation network, it's not difficult to find a path. But the problem is, this forest stretches as far as the eye can see.

I didn't realize I'd wandered so deep into the mountains!

Looking at the gloomy sky, I was a little scared.

It started raining again, so I took out my water bottle from my backpack and placed it on the hood of the car to catch some rainwater. After drinking two mouthfuls of the cold rainwater, the restlessness in my heart subsided for a while.

On closer inspection, there are also signs of human activity here. Some trees have red ropes tied around them, with a string of wooden plaques hanging from them. Are these for prayer

I put on my backpack and walked along the edge of the woods. The GPS in the off-road vehicle was useless, so I had to rely on myself to find my way.

"Hold it right there! Who are you" a voice, thick with a country accent, suddenly demanded.

I stopped and looked around, who was speaking

A shaft of an arrow streaked through the air, severing the strap on my backpack.

"Oh!! Don't, don't hurt me!" I quickly raised my hands to show I meant no harm.

Why are they so on edge They act like they're facing a huge enemy just because they see a stranger!

I'm holding a water cup in my hand! The string of the cup is looped around my wrist, and it swings when I raise my hand.

I don't know if the other party thought I was armed, but suddenly there was another sound of a bowstring!

I hugged my head and hid behind a tree. A arrow zipped past, embedding itself in the trunk just inches from me. I nearly cried out in fright and blurted, “Don’t shoot! I’m not a bad person! I’m just lost…”

The other party was more anxious than me: "Come out! Don't just stand there—come out quickly!"

Just as I was about to step forward, a wave of icy coldness appeared beside me. It felt like something was crawling along the ground and quickly wrapped itself around my lower leg —r body!"...Make it out of lotus root, like Meng Shu did before""Otherwise A celestial's power could create a lotus blossom incarnation, wouldn't that be better than how he looks now He looks like he'...
