Chapter 287 - Chapter 287: The Woman Asking for Help

Two months later on a certain night, Jiang Kai had already walked all over the territory of the Necromancer.

With his Fearless Watch, he had already recorded in detail the map of the nearby area.

However, although the number of Necromancers was quite large, the problem was that from about a month later, the Necromancers were unable to summon undead corpses anymore.

The reason the experience from Necromancers was higher than from other wild monsters was because they could summon undead corpses. Now that all the corpses had been burned by Jiang Kai, Jiang Kai's gains suddenly dropped by several levels.

"Only level 10… After level 10 in Fourth Tier, each level needs 1.7 million experience, leveling up is too slow!" Jiang Kai lay on a pile of grass, his brows tightly knitted, clearly not in a good mood.

These few days, he even fantasized that maybe after some time undead corpses would start spawning again, but up to now, while indeed some had spawned, their number was far too small.

A normal Necromancer could bring less than 10 little minions, so what was the point in farming like that.

"How about going back to kill the Gold-devouring Insect Beasts?" Jiang Kai thought for a moment and then shook his head. "Without the Ghost Form, the insect nest is still too dangerous, and there's also a Queen Worm in the nest. It would be quite troublesome if I ran into it."

"If I go to a place farther away, the experience from wild beasts should also be a bit higher."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Kai decided to go someplace else to have a look.

Thinking of this, Jiang Kai got up and tidied up his camp.

"I haven't run into a Night Patrol in a long time… sigh, if I don't meet one then so be it. I need to level up now, I don't have time to deliberately go looking for them."

After he finished tidying the camp and walked toward the dense forest ahead, he suddenly sensed something abnormal and quickly took a few steps back.

Not long after, a woman rushed out of the forest.

This woman had a graceful figure, slender yet full, wearing a bamboo hat. A light veil hung down from the brim of the hat. After she rushed out of the dense forest, she stopped and looked at Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai frowned and kept sizing up the woman.

The woman looked like she was running away and had suddenly barged right in front of him. To be able to appear here, she was basically definitely a Huaxia Wanderer. He had no idea what she was running from.

However, Jiang Kai always remembered one thing—

A Wanderer might be a friend, but might also be an enemy!

In the hands behind his back, two Zhui Ming had already appeared.

When she saw Jiang Kai, the woman also froze for a moment, then anxiously said, "Big brother, could you help me? I ran into a Night Patrol!"

"Night Patrol?" Jiang Kai was a bit suspicious. He himself had been staying nearby for two months without running into even one Night Patrol, and yet this woman happened to meet one?

Is it that his luck was bad, or that her luck was bad?

Looking at the woman's panicked expression, Jiang Kai frowned. "You don't need to be afraid. What type of Night Patrol did you run into?"

"A humanoid Night Patrol, dressed entirely in black, using a sword. Its agility might be above ten thousand. I saw it kill some army people, but unfortunately I had no strength to stop it. While I was escaping, it spotted me!" the woman said anxiously. "Hurry, that guy will be here any moment!"

Jiang Kai immediately recalled the Night Patrol he'd seen with Chang Siyao back then — its agility was extremely high.

An ordinary Fourth Tier player was absolutely no match for it.

Back then when Jiang Kai saw that guy slaughtering army troops, he actually wanted to make a move, but at that time his strength could not compare at all, and he had been pulled back in time by Chang Siyao. Now that he had broken through to Fourth Tier, he wasn't afraid of it anymore.

That woman had happened to run into the same Night Patrol he had seen before, which made it sound very believable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Kai's guard loosened somewhat.

"So it's that one… that guy really does operate nearby. Miss, take me to find it. It has to be killed!" Jiang Kai said.

The woman walked up to Jiang Kai's side. "Big brother, we should leave. We can't beat it."

Jiang Kai turned to look at the woman, who was lifting the veil in front of her face.

Just as Jiang Kai was about to comfort her, the woman looked at him…

Jiang Kai suddenly noticed that the woman's pupils seemed to split open, the black in her eyes spreading over the entire whites. The pair of originally clear black-and-white eyes suddenly turned completely pitch black.

"Your eyes…"

"Big brother, what's wrong with my eyes?"

"Your eyes…" Jiang Kai felt increasingly strange, as though his body was gradually becoming uncontrollable.

"You…" When Jiang Kai realized something was wrong, his body was already unable to move.

When the woman saw the strange expression on Jiang Kai's face, she knew that he could no longer escape, and she let out a cold laugh. "You were going to say that my eyes are beautiful, right."

"Void Spirit Eyes!" Then the woman put away her smile and shouted in a low voice.

The darkness in her eyes seemed to start swirling, like a bottomless abyss!

Boom — in Jiang Kai's mind, it was as if a loud explosion sounded. Immediately after that, his consciousness became blurred.

Jiang Kai's body could not move, his consciousness blurred, the whole person stood there blankly, totally expressionless.

The woman who had just been like a frightened little deer now smiled triumphantly. "Jiang Kai, they all say you're crafty and full of tricks. Didn't expect you to have a day like this."

This woman was exactly Shi Xin, the one who had once been together with Liu Yuanxiang!

Looking at Jiang Kai, whose eyes were dull, Shi Xin gave a light laugh and walked over to him.

She gently traced the outline of Jiang Kai's chin with her finger, and along his arm, touched the Zhui Ming he was holding behind his back.

"Tsk tsk… your vigilance really is high. It's no accident you've lived until now."

She leaned to Jiang Kai's ear, her voice extremely soft and teasing, and said, "To trick someone whose brain is too useful, the most useful method is to tell the truth. In order to make you drop your guard, I specially found a Night Patrol around here, so everything I said was real."

"Aren't you fond of deceiving people? So, how was my acting?"

The woman looked Jiang Kai up and down with great interest. "A mere mortal profession, and yet it needed me, a Seventh-Tier Weird profession, to take action personally. You really didn't lose unjustly."

"Alright then, my great hero, Huaxia's Jiang Kai, come with me."

"Big sister will take you to a fun place."

The creepy thing was that after she finished speaking, Jiang Kai really did follow behind her and walk into the dense forest.

The next day, the woman brought Jiang Kai to the front of the Bewildering Mist Area at the west side of Prison Ghost Land.

White mist swirled among the trees ahead.

The woman took out a black medicine bottle and poured it directly into Jiang Kai's mouth.

After putting away the bottle, the woman looked at Jiang Kai again. Seeing that a bit of black liquid still remained at the corner of his lips, she gave a soft laugh. "Can't leave any evidence." As she said that, she leaned forward and actually stuck out her tongue to lick away the liquid at the corner of his mouth.

Just as she was licking the corner of Jiang Kai's lips, Jiang Kai's eyes suddenly widened at a lightning-fast speed, but very quickly returned to normal.

Focused entirely on "wiping away the evidence," the woman didn't notice this tiny change in Jiang Kai. After she finished, she gave a light laugh. "This is Soul-Locking Liquid. It should help you hold on until you meet that guy."

"Go on, go to the deepest part of the mist area!"

With her command, Jiang Kai walked straight into the mist area.

Only after she personally watched Jiang Kai's figure disappear in the white mist did the woman let out a cold laugh. "Jiang Kai, when you come out, you'll discover that you've gone from being admired by tens of thousands to being spat on by tens of thousands!"
