Qifeng: [Good luck! If you can clear the level, I'll have someone get you a bed in the safe zone; you can stay there for free for six months.]
This reply caused a sensation on the website.
Although the location of the safe zone has been announced online, the safe zone is limited in size and resources, and not everyone who survives can enter the safe zone.
To enter the safe zone, each person needs to pay two thousand ghost coins.
Purchase an outdoor bed for 2,000 ghost money per month.
A bed in a shack costs 10,000 ghost money per month.
If you want to live in a regular apartment, you'll need more ghost money, as well as the ability to successfully complete dungeons with three stars or higher and a certain amount of connections.
The safe zone mainly accepts capable people, or the families of some high-ranking officials and nobles before the end times, or the wealthy people of the end times who have received blessings from their ancestors.
It can be said that this was an extremely brutal selection process.
Those without resources not only cannot survive in the apocalypse, but they also lack the qualifications to enter safe zones.
[This guy Qifeng is so generous! Giving away a bed for half a year is equivalent to giving away over 10,000 yuan in ghost money!]
[My master and I only saved a little over a thousand yuan in ghost money, and we didn't even know when we'd be able to enter the safe zone. Then this guy just went online and Qifeng sent him a bed for six months?!]
[But Qifeng's requirements aren't so easy to meet; she has to clear the dungeon. The Snake Woman's Revenge is a guaranteed-death dungeon that's going to be upgraded to a three-star dungeon tomorrow!]
Song Mang knew Qi Feng's identity in reality; he was one of the managers of the Jiang City Safe Zone, which was why he was able to make such a promise.
But she was able to afford an apartment on her own before her rebirth, so how could she possibly live in an open-air bed now?
Song Mang replied: [Can you reserve a villa for me?]
Qifeng: [...]
Qifeng: [Do you know how many ghost money it costs to stay in a bed in the safe zone for six months? This is already the maximum level of authority I have.]
Song Mang: [I'll pay my own rent, and they should arrange the best villa in the safe zone for me.]
Qifeng: [Do you have ancestral blessings?]
Song Mang: [No.]
Qifeng didn't reply to her at all.
[Big sister, what are you thinking? A single day in a villa in the safe zone costs tens of thousands of ghost coins, and you might not even be able to stay there. Do you think you can talk so arrogantly without ancestral blessings?]
[Hilarious! I've never seen such an ungrateful person. Even Boss Qifeng doesn't want to talk to her anymore!]
[After following this drama for a while, I finally understand. This woman is just a comedian. If she can beat the snake woman, I'll livestream myself washing the weirdo's hair!]
The fact that Qifeng was going to send beds to the safe zone has attracted a lot of attention on the website, and netizens in other cities are also following the story.
Many people haven't saved enough ghost money to enter the safe zone, but Qifeng gave someone a six-month bed and was still looked down upon. This has led many people to wonder what gives Song Mang the right to be so arrogant.
The "Snake Woman's Revenge" post was getting more and more views, and within a day it became the most popular post on the entire site. Many people were waiting for the outcome from Song Mang's side.
As for Song Mang himself.
Since it wasn't yet time for the snake woman to appear at night, she was bored, so she opened a live stream on the website using her account and streamed herself playing various mobile games.
She didn't start the live stream to earn tips; she just wanted to make others envious of her being able to play on her phone while playing a game.
Smartphones are so much fun, who could resist them!
Song Mang played games on his live stream all day, and many netizens watched him all day long, until they were completely tired of watching.
[Isn't she going to look for clues to clear the level? I was on edge every second in the dungeon, terrified that I'd get killed by some weirdo at any moment. How can this woman be so relaxed?!]
[Hopefully, when the snake woman appears, she'll still be streaming, so we can see how horribly she dies.]
Wait a minute, she's playing games on one phone, so which phone is she streaming on? And this isn't a screen recording!
[My God, she has two phones that she can use in dungeons! Is that even possible?!]
After Song Mang finished his last game, he heard a terrified scream coming from downstairs.
"It's almost midnight, and the snake woman is coming again! What do we do?! Someone go get Xiaoya's skewers! Someone hurry and get the skewers!"
Song Mang exited the game interface, put the phone into his spatial storage, and then looked at the comments on the other phone.
8Book·Com
"You want to see me die?"
Song Mang smiled slightly, looking at the camera with amusement, and said, "I'm afraid you won't even see me die."
Someone immediately replied in the live chat.
[Heh, I was already living in a safe zone apartment when the supernatural happened, while you're stuck in a guaranteed death zone. It's clear you're the one who's going to die sooner!]
Some people even said, "[Dare you livestream the whole thing? Let's see what kind of person you are, daring to ask Qifeng for a villa!]"
OK.
Song Mang agreed.
She ignored the questioning comments and handed the phone directly to a paper effigy of a little girl.
"Silver Butterfly, in a little while, you take your phone and broadcast it live to me."
"Yes, Master!"
Song Mang named the two paper-mache girls, one Silver Butterfly and the other Silver Kite.
After handing the phone to Silver Butterfly, she walked over to Silver Kite beside her and whispered a few things to her.
"Yes, Master!"
Silver Kite disappeared from her room.
The live stream was still running, leaving viewers confused.
Why are these two twins calling her "master" in such a strange way?
According to the information provided by Qifeng, there are no twins in the Snake Woman dungeon, so where did they come from?
While the audience was puzzled, Song Mang came downstairs, and the snake woman arrived at the door.
Bang, bang, bang!
The inn's door trembled as the snake woman's enormous tail pounded against it, threatening to smash a large hole through it.
The remaining players were trembling with fear, while the landlady and Xiaoya huddled together in a corner of the inn.
The proprietress said, "Haven't you found the item yet? If you have, give it to the snake woman quickly, and she'll leave!"
As soon as the words were spoken, someone rushed towards the girl, shouting, "I can't take it anymore! I'm going crazy staying here! I want to leave!"
The man found the white jade bodhi beads in the bamboo basket next to the little girl's feet, and then ran away.
At that moment, a loud bang was heard, and the snake woman's tail smashed a large hole in the inn's door.
"Here you go! Let me leave now!"
The man quickly threw the white jade bodhi beads away.
result.
It's completely useless!
"Give it back! Give it back! You butchers!"
The snake woman's shrill scream rang out again. Her body suddenly darted into the large hole in the inn's door, her tongue flicking out as she let out a long scream and swiftly bit the neck of the man who had thrown the skewers.
The man didn't even have a chance to escape before the snake woman bit off his neck, dragged him out, and ate him.
This thing is useless! Run!
The others hadn't expected that this thing wasn't a way to clear the level, and they all panicked and ran towards the stairs, trying to hide in the rooms upstairs.
But as soon as they reached the stairwell, they were blocked by a transparent barrier, and now they couldn't get back to their rooms!
Song Mang stood still.
She stared at the crazed snake woman for a moment, then observed the terrified landlady and the little girl.
Something's wrong with those two strange expressions.
Sudden.
A strong force came from behind Song Mang, and someone pushed her hard from behind, directly pushing her towards the snake woman!

Song Mang's eyes turned cold as she turned to see that the person who pushed her was Master Bai, who had a gloating look on his face.
Bai Ye felt her gaze, and slightly parted his lips in her direction, silently saying, "Go to hell."
From the direction of the inn's main entrance, the snake woman stretched most of her body in, flicking her scarlet tongue and opening her mouth full of sharp teeth toward her.
If it had bitten her neck, it could have snapped her neck off!
However, Song Mang had already absorbed two ghost cards, which enhanced his physical abilities to a certain extent.
Her reaction speed was extremely fast. The moment the snake woman rushed over, she turned around, stepped on the snake woman's head, and then used the force to fall back to the ground.
Her swift movements not only surprised Bai Ye, but also amazed the viewers watching the live stream.
[No wonder she talked so arrogantly; she's actually quite capable. Her reaction speed is comparable to that of a martial arts expert who trained professionally before the apocalypse!]
[People who know martial arts like her would thrive in the apocalypse if they could obtain the Joker card. Unfortunately, the instance she's in is a guaranteed death instance.]
But Song Mang dodged the snake woman's attack this time, and the snake woman rushed towards her excitedly again, one of her hands still grabbed her clothes.
Song Mang took out a kitchen knife and cut off the corner of his clothes, then ran towards the inside of the inn.
But Master Bai stood in front of her.
His transparent ghostly blade appeared, and he looked at Song Mang with a sinister gaze, saying, "This is the price you pay for offending me."
His ghost blade slashed towards Song Mang.
With Bai Ye first and Snake Woman second, everyone, including the viewers watching the live stream, now thinks Song Mang is doomed.
Two paper-mache girls hiding in the shadows rushed out to protect Song Mang.
But as Song Mang looked in Bai Ye's direction, a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Master Bai's expression changed instantly.
Because he discovered that he couldn't move again!
He originally intended to use the Ghost Blade to cleave Song Mang in two, but when Song Mang rushed in front of him, his body seemed to be paused!
In about a second, Song Mang appeared behind Bai Ye from in front of him and kicked him hard, sending him flying towards the snake woman.
After kicking, Song Mang calmly clapped his hands and said, "I've eaten two tonight, looks like I'm safe now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Master Bai holding the Ghost Blade in front of him, blocking the snake woman's attack.
The Joker's "deterrent" effect only lasts for three seconds, and by then, Bai Ye is already able to move.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Ye moved a few steps away from the snake woman and then slashed at her head with his ghost blade.
result.
Bai Ye's ghost blade struck the snake woman's head, but it didn't cause her any harm at all!
Bai Ye's actions only angered the snake woman.
The snake woman rammed her head into him, slamming him against the wall like a ball and throwing him to the ground.
The snake woman was so fast that her figure turned into a series of afterimages, and Bai Ye didn't even have the strength to resist.
His left arm was bitten by the snake woman, bleeding profusely, and hung limply.
The audience gasped.
This snake woman is definitely a supernatural being of at least the level of a vengeful ghost!
"hiss--!"
The snake woman roared again as she charged toward Master Bai.
8BOK.com
Just then, Bai Ye saw a middle-aged woman hiding next to a cabinet. His eyes hardened, and he rushed over and smashed the cabinet with his Ghost Blade. Then he pulled the middle-aged woman out from hiding.
"No--!"
"Let me go—!"
The middle-aged woman's screams rang out, but quickly disappeared as Bai Ye pushed her directly towards the snake woman, who immediately bit the middle-aged woman in half.
After the middle-aged woman died, the snake woman quieted down, and left with the woman's corpse in her mouth.
As Song Mang watched the snake woman disappear into the night, he stroked his chin and pondered, "It seems I can only eat two people a day at most. The dungeon will capture a total of ten people. If I can't find any clues to clear the dungeon, I can only last for five days at most."
However, these five days are the time within the instance, which is different from the time outside.
After Song Mang burned the paper replica of the phone, she could see the time ticking and realized that a day and a night had passed inside the instance, while only two or three hours had passed outside.
"Lu Sisi and Xu Xuyang died unexpectedly last night. They didn't die in the snake woman's belly. Now there are only four people left, which means we only have two days left."
What exactly is that "small, white beaded string"? Is it the snake bone string in her hand?
Song Mang initially thought this was a completion item, but after reviewing online posts describing this instance, she realized there were many things that didn't seem right.
Many people had entered the instance before her; it's impossible that no one had discovered the snake bone string.
The room in the far corner of the corridor was always locked, and no one went in or out. Eventually, some players noticed something was wrong, went in to investigate, and discovered the skeletons and snake bone strings inside.
In the end, no one left alive, so there's only one possibility...
The snake bone string is something the snake woman needs.
But it's not an item for clearing the gate!
On their first day here, the landlady said, "Every night at midnight, the snake woman comes to the inn looking for something. Just give her what she wants, and she will leave."
The landlady said the snake woman would leave, but she didn't say the players could leave!
Even if the player finds what the snake woman needs, they may still be unable to leave!
This is why Song Mang hadn't taken out the snake bone string earlier; she knew it wouldn't have mattered, as this dungeon wasn't just about finding items.
Based on her years of experience dealing with these supernatural beings, the task they give is likely a trap, a deadly trap!
Therefore, in the dungeon, you can't trust anyone—you can't trust people, you can't trust ghosts, you can only trust yourself.
Song Mang thought for a moment, then went over and asked the proprietress, "Proprietress, why did the snake woman eat two people and then leave? I thought that since the snake woman is so big, she would eat more."
As they spoke, Song Mang glanced at the injured Master Bai, her eyes showing a hint of regret.
The landlady said, "The snake woman gains power by eating people. If she eats everyone at once, the power she gains will be too great, and the inn will be completely destroyed."
"You mean, the inn's power restricts her to only eating two people at a time? That means she's also an employee of the inn?"
The safe house only binds the weirdos working inside, because there is a contract between the safe house and the weirdos.
However, in some high-risk dungeons, invaders will appear. These invaders can ignore the restrictions of safe houses and indiscriminately slaughter the players inside.
"How is that possible!"
The landlady gave a forced smile and frowned as she said, "Every time she comes, she eats up my guests and ruins my inn. If she were my employee, she would be a disaster for me!"
Such a ferocious and cruel creature could never be an inn employee; she probably wanted to devour both me and Xiaoya!
So that's how it is.
Looking at the proprietress's smile, Song Mang felt as if she were wearing a fake mask, and the proprietress's gaze towards her seemed to hold more hostility.
It seems she asked a question she shouldn't have.

At this moment, the dilapidated state of the inn is gradually being restored, and it will soon return to its original state.
After the inn was restored, Xiao Ya, carrying a bamboo basket, showed off her gold and silver jewelry to the remaining players.
This time, no one dared to pay any attention to the little girl.
Song Mang stretched and said, "Tonight was really scary. I'd better go back to my room and rest early. Xiao Ya, could you lock my room door for me?"
Xiao Ya frowned slightly and said somewhat unhappily, "This is Mom's job, not Xiao Ya's job."
Song Mang took out a stack of ghost money and waved it.
"There's a tip."
The proprietress had already gone back to work in the kitchen, but upon hearing the word "tip," she rushed out again, flashing Song Mang a warm smile once more.
"Guest, I'll escort you upstairs right away."
As a result, the little girl dashed into the kitchen, grabbed the oil lamp from the landlady, and said, "Mom, you've been busy all day and you must be tired. Let me take the guests upstairs!"
The proprietress glared at her angrily, "Little girl, this isn't your job, give me back the oil lamp!"
Xiao Ya grabbed the oil lamp and ran up the stairs, saying to Song Mang, "Guest, come on up quickly, Xiao Ya will definitely get you back to your room safely!"
The proprietress: "..."
audience: "..."
Wow, this woman is really rich! That stack of ghost money she's holding must be worth at least a thousand yuan, right? Is she just giving it to some weirdo as a tip?
[Holy crap, I don't even have a hundred ghost coins right now, where did she get a thousand ghost coins from?!]
[She definitely has ancestral blessings; her ancestors sent her ghost money, otherwise she couldn't have been so wealthy on the first day of the apocalypse!]
I hate you rich kids!
The young girl carried an oil lamp and escorted Song Mang to her room upstairs, while the landlady watched them resentfully from downstairs.
When they reached the room door, the landlady could no longer see them, so Song Mang gave half of the tip to Xiao Ya.
She asked with a smile, "Little girl, how long have you been running this inn? What do you do if the snake woman comes when there are no guests?"
The little girl stared intently at the remaining half of the tip, swallowed hard, and said, "I'm not afraid of the snake woman at all. Mommy has a way to make her leave."
What kind of method is it?
Song Mang said worriedly, "I'm so afraid that when the snake woman comes tomorrow, she'll eat me too. Can you tell my sister about this method? My sister has a lot of money, and I can give you some tips every day."
"Really?"
The little girl's eyes lit up.
Song Mang nodded and said, "I'll give you this money later too. I'll give you this much tip every day from now on. But if I accidentally die, I won't be able to give it to you anymore."
Little Ya quickly said, "Guest, you can hide in the kitchen when the snake woman comes, and you'll be safe!"
Song Mang recalled the events of the past few days and realized that no one had ever hidden in the kitchen when the snake woman came.
Why?
Oh right, it's because the proprietress and Xiaoya were standing right at the kitchen doorway, blocking the way.
Song Mang narrowed her eyes and said, "Would your mother let me hide in the kitchen? She wouldn't be happy about it."
The little girl tilted her head and said, "Then you should stay close to us. The snake woman won't dare to hurt you."
Song Mang asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid of the snake woman? What if I'm hiding next to you and harm you? My conscience wouldn't allow it."
Xiao Ya curled her lip, looking somewhat disdainful. "She wouldn't dare. She's just an animal."
8BОоK． com
At this point, Xiaoya realized she had let something slip and quickly covered her mouth.
Song Mang gave her the remaining ghost money and went into the room. "Little girl, please lock the door for me. I'll be counting on you guys from now on."
"Good guest."
After Xiaoya locked the door, she happily ran downstairs with the tip. When she returned the oil lamp to the landlady, Song Mang heard her being scolded.
A little while later.
Silver Butterfly and Silver Kite entered Song Mang's room.
Yin Yuan spoke up, "Master, the landlady seems to be very afraid of those people on the stairs. She wanted to come up to you just now, but as soon as she stepped onto the stairs, those people kept cursing at her and even tried to rush over and beat her up, so the landlady didn't come up."
Silver Butterfly also spoke up, "Those people called her a poisonous woman, saying she killed everyone and stole the treasure. They got very agitated when they saw the proprietress, as if they had seen an enemy."
Song Mang raised an eyebrow. "No wonder she always brings an oil lamp when she goes upstairs."
It seems she has a grudge against those evil spirits; the oil lamp can deter them, preventing them from approaching her.
"Yes, Master."
Yin Yuan said, "When Xiao Ya brought you up with the oil lamp, I saw that everyone was afraid and hid away."
"Could it be that those evil spirits stole the snake woman's treasure before they died, and were then killed and robbed by the landlady, which is why they hate the landlady so much? What's so special about that oil lamp that these evil spirits are so afraid of?"
Silver Butterfly and Silver Kite said at the same time, "There is a very strong power inside; it is a very powerful ghost artifact."
How strong is it?
Song Mang looked at them and said, "If the two of you combine your powers, can you fight against this force?"
Silver Butterfly and Silver Kite shook their heads simultaneously, "No."
Now that they are combined, they can easily fight against the evil spirits outside, but the power in the oil lamp terrifies the evil spirits and also terrifies them.
Song Mang speculated, "If even you combined can't fight against it, it seems this power is above the level of a vengeful ghost. But the level the landlady displayed isn't even at the level of a vengeful ghost. Could it be that her confidence in fighting the snake woman lies in this oil lamp?"
If that's the case, the proprietress could have dealt with the snake woman using an oil lamp; why did she need to invite others to help?
Most of the people she "invited" didn't even have a joker card, and were many times weaker than her.
Song Mang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the oil lamp is the key item. Among the clues we have found so far, the oil lamp may be the only one that can stop the snake woman. We need to figure out what this thing is used for."
Song Mang picked up the phone that was broadcasting the live stream, glanced at the situation on it, and then noticed that the live stream was even more popular.
More and more people came to watch the spectacle.
[After watching for a while, I realized this streamer is really something; they've already uncovered many details that weren't mentioned in Qifeng's posts.]
[Qifeng said the key to this dungeon is finding a "small, pure white beaded string." Has the streamer found it yet? Hurry up and find it! Now, think about what the oil lamp is for.]
I read the dungeon description, and I think finding the "small, pure white beaded string" should be enough to clear the dungeon.
Upon seeing these comments, Song Mang said directly, "This dungeon is not as simple as you think. I estimate that its difficulty will not be just three stars, but will eventually rise to five stars or more, because it may be an unsolvable dead end."
What does this mean? Finding the items doesn't guarantee you can complete the game?
[It's possible. After all, many people went into the instance before; it's impossible that they didn't find any, right? This inn isn't that big. Those people all died; it's very likely that even if they found them, they would still die!]
How do I beat this level?! I'm so anxious, I'm terrified of accidentally getting stuck in this super difficult, dead-end dungeon!
Song Mang said calmly, "We'll find out tonight."
After saying that, she turned off the live stream and prepared to lie down and go to sleep, leaving the viewers outside extremely anxious.
At this moment, in the central villa of Jiang City's safe zone, the Ghost Suppression Division held an emergency meeting.
8bOok.com
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
At the meeting, the woman sitting in the main seat said, "I have received important information that five high-risk dungeons that may grow into five-star dungeons will appear in Jiang City. The specific locations of these five dungeons have not yet been determined."
In addition, according to Mr. Xi's judgment, three of these five high-risk dungeons will continue to grow, with uncontrollable variables appearing, eventually becoming super-risk dungeons of seven stars or higher.
It is said that super dangerous dungeons of seven stars or above not only expand the dungeon's coverage area, but some can also teleport, making it impossible to determine the exact location and causing serious casualties.
We must locate these instances as soon as possible and find a way to curb their growth in the early stages!
The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely tense, and everyone else looked pale and troubled.
"Director, the current situation is that no one can clear some of the dungeons; whoever goes in is doomed."
We don't know how dungeons work, so how can we stop their progression?
The woman in the main seat said, "If you don't know, go explore. You'll find the answer sooner or later. How will you know you can't complete it if you don't try? If you can't curb the growth of the instance now, things will only get harder and harder in the future!"
The situation is critical. Stop with the nonsense and get to the locations of those five dungeons first!
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman saw someone raise their hand in a seat at the very back of the conference room.
She asked, "Qifeng, is there anything you want to say?"
The man in the black combat uniform stood up, raised his phone, and the screen was showing Song Mang's live stream.
"I discovered a dungeon that could potentially grow into a five-star dungeon, which is the 'Snake Woman's Revenge' dungeon that everyone predicted would grow into a three-star dungeon tomorrow. A player in the dungeon revealed the details of the dungeon through a live stream and predicted that this dungeon would not stop at three stars."
The screen on Qifeng's phone was a recording of Song Mang's live stream, which the director asked him to project onto the big screen so they could watch together.
Before long, everyone in the conference room became restless, their eyes widening in astonishment.
"No, Director, why is she able to stream inside the instance? Isn't there no signal inside the instance?"
"And there's this weird thing calling her 'master,' what's going on? I've never heard of a human being able to subdue a weird thing as a servant!"
The woman sitting in the main seat remained silent for a while before speaking, "Qifeng, please continue to keep an eye on this player. I will inquire with Mr. Xi about these special events that happened to her and give everyone an answer tomorrow morning."
"OK."
The woman thought for a moment and then said, "What's the name of her live stream? I'll go back and look into it."
Qi Feng paused for a moment before saying, "The live stream is called 'Busy Destroying the World'."
"..."
The meeting ended, and everyone left. Qi Feng hesitated for a moment before going up to find the woman.
"Director, this player said on the forum that she can make a walkthrough of 'The Revenge of the Snake Woman' and she hopes that the safe zone can reserve a villa for her."
The woman couldn't help but frown. "A villa? I haven't even lived in a villa yet. What is she dreaming of? If she can clear this dungeon, at most she'll get a spot in an apartment, and she'll have to pay the rent herself."
Qi Feng said, "She said she could pay the rent for the villa. I suspect she has a lot of ghost money on hand, and is probably a lucky person who has received blessings from her ancestors..."
The woman waved her hand and said, "Don't talk to me about that. I can't stand those useless rich kids. Aren't they just rich kids in the end times because they have ancestral blessings?"
Even if such a person has money, they can only survive in the apocalypse for a while. Without the ability to clear the dungeon, they will die sooner or later!
"I've said it before, the villa slots in the safe zone are reserved for those who can save Jiang City. Rich kids shouldn't even bother; money won't help them!"
Qi Feng didn't say anything more. "Okay, I will relay your message to that player."
-
Inside the instance.
Song Mang was unaware that her actions had attracted the attention of all the high-ranking officials in the safe zone. She was lying in bed with her eyes closed but not asleep.
She sent Silver Butterfly and Silver Kite out on missions, so she released Xi Yu, the strange creature with speech impediments.
Xi Yu stood by the bed, looked down at her and said, "Why do you want to sleep if you don't want to?"
"Waiting for someone."
"Waiting for whom?"
"The person who can give me the answers."
8ЬoOk． сοm
"Who? From what I've observed, none of the others in this instance have noticed the most crucial issue."
You have two days left. If you still can't resolve this impasse, you will die.
"Oh? So, I've discovered the key issue? My guesses were all correct?"
Xi Yu: "..."
Song Mang chuckled, "It seems you know this instance very well. Even if I lock you in this space, you can still know what's going on here."
Xi Yu: "..."
Song Mang then said, "Are you so worried about me? Then tell me the clues, and I'll be able to solve it, right?"
Xi Yu remained silent for a long time. Song Mang opened her eyes and looked at him, inexplicably sensing a hint of hesitation in him.
What is he hesitating about?
As her paper servant, shouldn't you tell her immediately if you have any clues?
Why hesitate?
Xi Yu's voice came again. He said, "I don't know any clues. All I know is that this is a dead end."
Song Mang said "Oh," and added, "You really are as useless as ever."
"..."
"Silver Butterfly and Silver Kite aren't here. If someone tries to hurt me later, are you able to protect me?"
He said, "It all depends on whether I want to or not."
"Seriously? You're just a paper servant, how could you not want to protect your master?"
His face was slightly gloomy. He turned and went to the corner of the room, seemingly disliking Song Mang calling him a servant.
Song Mang clicked her tongue softly, closed her eyes to continue resting, but was soon woken up.
Bang, bang, bang!
From the wooden wall opposite the bed came a loud banging sound, as if someone was chiseling a hole in the wall with something.
Xi Yu looked towards the wall and saw a transparent ghost blade slicing through the wooden wall, revealing the tip of the blade.
Bang--!
Another loud bang.
The person in the other room drew his demon blade and swung it at the wooden wall again.
Not long after, a hole appeared in the wall, and an eye peered through it at Song Mang, who was "sleeping" on the bed, with a sinister and resentful look.
Another loud bang.
Bai Ye used his ghost blade to cut a larger hole in the wooden wall and crouched down, trying to crawl through it.
Song Mang's voice suddenly came through, "So this is how you entered Lu Sisi's room, then assaulted her, and drove her to suicide?"
Bai Ye paused, his cold gaze fixed on Song Mang. "So what? That bitch should have died long ago. What's wrong with letting me have some fun before she dies?"
At this point, he gave a cryptic laugh.
"It's the apocalypse, and everyone's terrified, but I'm excited. You know why? It means nobody can control me anymore, and I can do whatever I want! And those damn cops won't be chasing me around anymore!"
Bai Ye crawled out of the hole and walked towards the bed.
"For example, right now, I want to deal with you, you bitch, however I want! The landlady can't just go into the guests' rooms. This time, even if you scream your lungs out, no one can come to save you!"
But don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. I'll make you suffer terribly!
Song Mang stood up, glanced at his left arm hanging by his side, and scoffed, "Just a cripple, I really don't know what you're so arrogant about."
A flash of anger crossed Bai Ye's face. He raised the ghost blade in his right hand and slashed at Song Mang.
"If it weren't for you, my left hand wouldn't be crippled! I can't handle the snake woman, but I can handle you! I'll cut off all four of your limbs and see if you can still be so calm!"

A loud bang was heard.
The demon blade struck the bed, shattering it into pieces and sending wood chips flying. Fortunately, Song Mang quickly rolled off the bed.
Song Mang squatted down on the ground next to him and looked up at the corner where Xi Yu was.
The handsome, aloof man had no extra expression on his face, and his eyes even carried a hint of watching a show.
She chuckled and said, "It seems you, my servant, have no intention of protecting me?"
He said indifferently, "If I save you but you still can't leave this instance, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
That makes sense.
At this moment, Master Bai's ghost blade slashed towards Song Mang again, and Song Mang took out a paper kitchen knife to defend himself.
Bang--!
The two weapons clashed, and a slight crack appeared on Song Mang's paper-made kitchen knife.
Bai Ye stared at her with a sinister look and disdain in his eyes, "So you also have a Joker, but unfortunately, the level of your Joker is nowhere near that of my Ghost Blade!"
With a forceful push, Master Bai pressed the ghost blade down towards Song Mang, causing the paper-made kitchen knife to shatter instantly. Song Mang took two steps back.
"I thought you were something special, but with your level of skill, you dare to covet my Ghost Blade?"
Bai Ye attacked her again.
Song Mang stood still, her gaze fixed on what was behind Master Bai, a slight smile playing on her lips. "They're here."
Bai Ye suddenly sensed a new presence in the room. He paused, frowned, and looked behind him.
From the large hole he had just cut out, a human-shaped skeleton emerged and instantly appeared beside Master Bai.
"What is that?!"
Bai Ye slashed at the skeleton with his ghost blade.
Bai Gu turned his head to avoid his attack, then rushed over and hugged Bai Ye tightly.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
Just as Bai Ye was about to struggle, Bai Gu suddenly picked him up and started spinning him around wildly.
The spinning speed was too fast; the human and the skeleton huddled together, resembling a whirlwind top.
The skeleton possessed a power akin to that of a vengeful ghost, making it impossible for Master Bai to break free. Consequently, he had no time to use his ghost blade to attack the skeleton.
Song Mang pulled up a chair and sat down, watching the scene with amusement. "It seems she really enjoys playing with you."
Bai Ye's furious roar rang out, "What the hell is this thing? Let me go! Aaaaah!"
Song Mang took out a paper phone to livestream.
There were many viewers waiting outside for the result of this dungeon, and as soon as she started her live stream, a lot of people flooded in.
Upon entering the live stream, one sees a person and a skeleton embracing each other and spinning around wildly.
Music could be heard from the side.
"The magic of love spins in circles, thinking of you makes my heart bloom day and night, but I'm afraid love is just a fleeting moment, gone in the blink of an eye. I want to take the risk slowly..."
audience:? ? ?
Xi Yu: ? ? ?
[Huh? What's going on here?]
What's going on here? Who played this music? I have to say, it's quite fitting.
[Hey player, are you crazy spinning that fast? Are you trying to fly?]
The people in this dungeon have gone mad. They must have thought they couldn't beat it, so they're just letting loose!
Before anyone could react, the landlady's angry roar suddenly came from the corridor outside the room.
"Who stole my remains!"
"Who?! Who stole my remains?! I'll fight you to the death! Which bastard?!"
Bai Ye also heard the roar. He sensed something was wrong and wanted to break free from the skeleton even more.
"Let me go!"
His demonic blade slashed haphazardly at the bones.
But Bai Gu quickly released him, avoiding the attack, while Bai Ye almost got dizzy and fell to the ground.
Just as Bai Ye was about to get up, Bai Gu rushed over and hugged him tightly. The familiar, eerie voices of the twins could be heard coming from Bai Gu's body.
"Master, what's next?"
⑧Воок. Сом
Song Mang stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "There are more and more audience members, so let's invite him to dance."
"Okay!"
After the twins mysteriously merged, they attached themselves to the skeleton. At this moment, they grabbed Bai Ye's hand and started dancing in circles on the spot.
Song Mang then changed the music on his phone.
"So I was just a drunken butterfly, unable to fly out of this dazzling world. I was just a drunken butterfly, and your vow came so lightly and casually..."
The music had barely started playing when a loud crash came from the doorway, and the proprietress, carrying a lantern, burst in.
The first thing she saw when she entered the room was Master Bai dancing with her skeleton, which made her furious.
"So it was you, you little thief!"
Hearing the landlady's angry voice, Mr. Bai quickly explained, "No, it wasn't me!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the eerie presence attached to the skeleton disappeared, as did the force that had been pulling Master Bai around.
With a snap.
The bones fell to the ground.
Because Bai Ye had been dragged around by the skeleton several times, he was dizzy and disoriented, and now he fell to the ground.
"Hehe, I fell down."
"This person dances terribly; it's a complete waste of the master's good intentions."
"The master said he would compensate the skeleton."
"That makes sense, that makes sense, compensation is due."
"How will compensation be provided?"
"My master said to give her a love kiss!"
Bai Ye was in a daze, as if he were being haunted by something. He could hear two voices laughing and talking in his ears, but he couldn't see where they were.
Sudden.
He felt a weight on his head.
Just as Master Bai was about to get up from the ground, Silver Butterfly stepped on the back of his head, slamming his head down, which unfortunately bumped into the skeleton below.
He felt a sharp pain in his mouth and was about to cry out when Yin Yuan squatted down, grabbed his head, and pressed it against the skull's head, rubbing it frantically mouth to mouth.
These two paper-mache eeries cannot be seen by the eeries in the dungeon due to special reasons.
Therefore, in the landlady's eyes, it was as if Master Bai had pressed her remains under his body and was kissing them passionately.
"Ahhh—!"
The proprietress burst into an extremely angry shout, rushed over, and kicked Master Bai away.
"You stole my remains, and now you dare to defile them like this? I'll fight you to the death!"
With a bang.
Bai Ye was kicked away and landed not far away. When he realized that he could finally move, he struggled to get up and tried to explain.
"No, I didn't. I don't even know why your remains are here!"
The proprietress first picked up her own remains and put them aside, then discovered that the wrists of the remains were empty.
The proprietress instantly exuded a thick, ghostly black mist, her eyes turned bloodshot, and she glared hatefully at Master Bai.
"Where's my snake bone bracelet? You stole my snake bone bracelet! You...you deserve to die!"
"What snake bone string?"
Bai Ye looked completely bewildered.
Song Mang's leisurely voice came over, "Snake bone string? Could it be related to the snake woman? Master Bai, have you discovered some important clue? Why don't you share it with everyone?"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress's aura grew even more terrifying, and with bloodshot eyes, she carried a lantern to Master Bai's side.
"Hand it over!"
The proprietress let out a piercing scream.
Bai Ye had no idea that these were the landlady's remains, nor did he know about the snake bone string. Faced with the landlady's questioning, he felt utterly speechless.
He suddenly looked at Song Mang, "Boss lady, I didn't even know about this thing, she must have taken it!"
With a snap.
The snake bone string suddenly appeared out of thin air and fell off next to Bai Ye's pocket.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly froze.
Song Mang covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh my, what is this? It looks like a bracelet made of snake bone. Mr. Bai, you took it, so why didn't you hide it properly?"
Xi Yu: "..."
audience: "..."
[I saw it all. It was this woman's strange servant who threw the string of food over there. Why couldn't that Master Bai and the dungeon NPC see it?]
[My God, this woman is so cunning! She's even scarier than the monsters in the dungeon!]
When Bai Ye saw the thing at his feet, he felt a chill run up from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head.
The proprietress's gaze towards him had lost all anger; a smile still lingered on her lips, but that smile sent chills down his spine.
"Sir, lying is not a good habit. Please return my belongings."
Bai Ye picked up the snake bone string from the ground and examined it. He found that it matched the snake woman's description and was very likely what she needed.
No wonder they searched the entire inn but couldn't find what the snake woman needed; it turned out it was hidden in the landlady's hands!
Should he return this item to the landlady, or give it to the snake woman to help her pass the level?
A hint of hesitation flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.
After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and put away the snake bone string.
Bai Ye judged that the snake woman was stronger than the landlady, so he planned to leave the snake bones behind to pass the level.
As for the angry landlady...
He had previously tested the landlady's strength; she was merely an evil spirit that hadn't even reached the level of a vengeful ghost. His ghost blade was more than enough to deal with her.
"Guest, what do you mean by this?"
The proprietress's eyes grew increasingly cold.
Master Bai said directly, "I can't give it to you. If you want it back, then come and get it yourself."
His demonic blade was ready at any moment, prepared to counterattack the instant the landlady launched her attack.
But the proprietress chuckled and stood still, not rushing towards him.
"It's just a bracelet. If you, customer, are interested, you can buy it from me. Why resort to such an unethical method?"
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean, this item for clearing the level can be purchased with ghost money?"
The proprietress looked at him, her smile widening. "Of course, you can buy anything with ghost money in the underworld, let alone this is just a bracelet."
Mr. Bai: "How much will this cost?"
The proprietress: "Five thousand ghost money."
Bai Ye's expression changed instantly. "So expensive? Who has that much money these days! I think you're deliberately hiding the bracelet to prevent players from clearing the game!"
The proprietress smiled and said, "How could that be? Guest, you only need to pay five thousand ghost coins, and I won't make things difficult for you. You can return this to the snake woman."
The proprietress's reply left many people deep in thought.
[Giving it back to the snake woman? Does she mean the snake bone string originally belonged to the snake woman?]
[Could this be what the snake woman actually needs?]
Bai Ye didn't have that much ghost money on him, so he gripped the ghost blade tighter. "I don't have that much money, I can't give it to you."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
The proprietress said regretfully, "If you don't have any ghost money, then you are a shameful thief who did such a terrible thing to my remains. I cannot forgive you."
"Oh."
Master Bai sneered disdainfully, raised his Ghost Blade, and slashed directly at the landlady.
8ЬoOk.Соm
"What's this about stealing? This world is ruled by the strong. If I'm stronger than you, this thing should belong to me!"
As Bai Ye rushed over, the proprietress unscrewed the lid of the oil lamp with a click.
The oil lamp was lit with corpse oil, and the flame inside was dark green. As the proprietress opened the lamp lid, small green flames flew out of the lamp and, like snakes, burrowed into Master Bai's body.
"ah--!"
Bai Ye's body suddenly stopped in place, and he let out a painful scream.
Pieces of skin peeled off his face, like a snake shedding its skin, and he soon became a blood-soaked figure.
Fresh blood dripped onto the ground, quickly spreading across the entire area. Several fist-sized bulges appeared under the flesh of the blood-soaked man, Bai Ye.
These bulges kept moving across his body, and the flesh of the blood man thinned at a visible rate.
With a bang.
The blood-soaked man fell to the ground, and soon only an empty skeleton remained.
Several streaks of green light swirled around the white bones, completely devouring Master Bai's soul.
The audience was stunned.
The high-ranking members of the safe zone who were monitoring the progress of this instance all looked solemn.
Holy crap, the landlady's oil lamp is that strong? What's that flying out of it?
[If I'm not mistaken, this player has a ghost card that's almost at the level of a vengeful spirit, but when faced with the oil lamp, it offers absolutely no protection?!]
This dungeon is incredibly dangerous! The snake woman outside is at least a vengeful ghost, and the landlady possesses such a terrifying treasure! It's even more frightening than a vengeful ghost! If the landlady refuses to give us the snake bone string, who would dare to take it from her?!
"Then I can only pay five thousand ghost coins to buy the snake bone string, but who has that much money these days?"
Money is not a problem, after all, many people have received the blessings of their ancestors, and there are still people who can afford to spend this money.
The problem now is that Qifeng judges this to be a guaranteed death dungeon; will giving money really help?
Master Bai is dead.
The snake bone string fell to the ground, and the unclaimed ghost blade and ghost card floated in the air.
Song Mang walked over and touched the Ghost Blade Ghost Card, absorbing it.
"Sir, would you like to purchase a snake bone skewer?"
The proprietress's voice came through.
Song Mang looked down at the snake bone string that had fallen to the ground, then looked at the smiling proprietress.
The oil lamp in the proprietress's hand emitted a holy golden light, and the green light that had been wrapped around Master Bai's corpse flew back into the oil lamp.
The flames of corpse oil in the oil lamp were still burning, and streaks of green light swirled around the flames like small snakes swimming around them.
Because the corpse oil flames are dark green, and the glow of these small snakes is also green, they appear to be one entity at first glance.
But Song Mang knew that they were not the same entity.
The corpse fire, the oil lamp, and the golden light from before are all one entity, originating from "His" power.
She was intimately familiar with this power.
He is the mastermind behind the strange arrival, the rule governing the operation of the instance, and the god of the new world.
"Sir, would you like to purchase a snake bone skewer?"
The proprietress asked again.
Song Mang smiled and said, "If I buy the snake bone string, I can pass the level, right?"
The proprietress said, "This is something the snake woman needs. You need to give it to her to find out."
This statement was as good as saying nothing at all, but it only strengthened Song Mang's suspicions.

"Okay, I'll buy this snake bone string."
Song Mang picked up the snake bone string from the ground, then took out five thousand-yuan ghost money bills and gave them to the proprietress.
The landlady beamed from ear to ear, "Sir, you are truly the most generous guest I have ever met. Would you like me to clean your room?"
Thank you for your trouble.
The landlady quickly cleaned up the bloodstains and bones in the room, then put the kicked-out door back on and left.
Song Mang sat back down on the bed.
When she checked her phone, she discovered that her live stream had become a viral sensation online, with the screen filled with comments.
Not only did expert players on the forums pay attention, but many ordinary people who had just recovered from the apocalypse also noticed it.
[Hey streamer, how much ancestral blessing did you receive? How can you so easily produce 5,000 ghost money?]
[The man just died, so was his Joker absorbed by the streamer?]
[I didn't expect there to be only three people left so quickly. Next time the snake woman comes, the streamer should give her the snake bone string, and then they should be able to leave this dungeon, right?]
Song Mang glanced at the comments, didn't answer any questions, and simply ended the live stream to rest.
The next day arrived quickly.
When the other two got up, they were a little worried that Master Bai would use them to feed the snake woman today, but they didn't see Master Bai for a long time after they went downstairs.
Song Mang was sitting at a table in the inn's lobby, playing games on her phone, when the two men noticed her.
"Song Mang, where's Master Bai?"
Someone asked.
"Dead."
Song Mang said casually, without even raising his head, his attention completely focused on the mobile game.
The two men assumed she was playing a single-player game and didn't think much of it, their minds preoccupied with the fact that Master Bai was dead.
How did Master Bai die?
"He was the strongest among us. If he's dead, what are we going to do!"
"Sigh, he's dead. At least no one will use us to feed the snake woman today. Let's hurry up and look for something!"
The two were preparing to discuss this with Song Mang.
Suddenly, Song Mang chimed in, "How the hell are you feeding so much? You've given away five kills in the first six minutes! Are you delivering takeout? Is the enemy MVP your father-in-law? How can you feed so much!"
The two paused, exchanging a tense glance.
Was she insulting us?
The next second, an angry male voice came from Song Mang's phone, "I'm a national server jungler, and you don't even have a national server title, what are you yelling about here for!"
"If it weren't for that ghost knocking on my door, scaring me to death, I wouldn't be playing so badly! Waaaaaah!"
As they spoke, the voice began to cry.
Song Mang thought for a moment and said, "Stop crying. It's just a ghost, what's there to cry about? You better play well and show your skills as a top player in the national server. If you win, I'll transfer you a thousand ghost coins."
The other person paused in their crying, "Huh?"
Song Mang: "If you win, I'll give you a thousand ghost coins. Don't you understand? Take this thousand ghost coins and give the ghost outside a hundred, and it will leave. If a hundred isn't enough, give it two hundred."
"Sis, really?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
"Sis, do you want to become famous?"
"I am a mage..."
"Do you want blue?"
"..."
8ВοOК． Соm
Not long after, Song Mang's phone rang with the sound of a game victory, and the two players next to her were stunned.
Yindie is live-streaming on another phone.
Viewers in the live stream saw Song Mang use a strange app to transfer 1,000 ghost coins to the jungler's bank account, and everyone was starting to lose their composure.
[Wait, dude, you just casually received a thousand ghost money like that? Why don't I have that kind of luck!]
[This streamer is really rich! No wonder she didn't want Qifeng's bed! Can I meet her in the game too? I also have the national server ranking!]
[What game is this? Is it too late for me to learn it? I only earned 200 ghost coins a day by grinding in dungeons! This guy makes 1000 coins in one game, I can't believe it!]
[Sis!!! Look at me! I have several national server rankings, I was a pro player before the apocalypse!!!]
After finishing a game, Song Mang checked the chat in her live stream and noticed that several official accounts of professional gamers were spamming her chat.
It's still a long time before the Cassiopeia appears, so Song Mang thought for a moment and said, "Find four professional players in different positions to play with. I'll give you 1,000 for each win. Send me your Chinese server ranking when you message me."
She glanced at the backend and said, "Don't post if you're not from the Chinese server. I don't like noobs. I'll give priority to handsome guys with nice voices and eight-pack abs. Don't send me pictures from the internet. If I find out they're from the internet, I'll block you immediately."
[Hey sis, I have a cute, puppy-like voice, and I just got eight-pack abs before the apocalypse. I have several national server titles, but I've never played in a professional match. Can you consider me?]
[Five top-ranked junglers in the national server, a retired professional player, that's all I'll say, I can guarantee a win, is that okay?]
I also have the Chinese server badge. I'll post a selfie to you from a safe spot, so please save me some space!
[Damn it! I hate you guys who know how to play games!]
[A thousand for every game you win?! I can't even imagine how much they earn playing with rich women all day. I'm so envious! I'm going to turn into a monster and wipe you all out!]
[I'll teach you a lesson you won't learn to play games and make big money! Learn now, waaaaah!]
A day in the instance is different from the outside. Song Mang played seven or eight games with a friend, and a day passed in the instance.
The snake woman was approaching, so Song Mang stopped playing the game. Those who had played with her earned between two thousand and ten thousand ghost coins, respectively.
The one who received the most was the most skilled, a retired professional player who carried his team to victory in every match, so Song Mang gave him an extra two thousand.
After Song Mang stopped playing, this person even posted a screenshot of a successful transfer online to thank Song Mang.
CangyingV: [Thanks for the invitation, Destruction Master! Wishing you happiness every day. Feel free to message me if you'd like to play games together again! I'll reply immediately if I'm not in the dungeon! @BusyDestroyingTheWorld]
Before the apocalypse, Cangying was a well-known online game streamer with tens of millions of followers.
After he posted this content using his own account, the incident caused a great sensation across the entire internet.
Song Mang's newly registered social media accounts and eerie forum accounts gained followers at an alarming rate, and the number of viewers entering his live stream also increased dramatically.
[Come check out this rich woman! I heard she can even use her phone in a dungeon? Where did she buy that phone?]
[Same question! I really want a phone that can be used in dungeons too! Rich lady, could you share how to buy one?]
[That's incredibly extravagant! I wonder if she'll just give the snake woman 10,000 ghost coins and then easily win the game?]
Song Mang didn't have time to read the comments right now because loud banging noises came from the inn's gate not far away.
The snake woman has arrived!
With a loud bang.
The snake woman smashed open the inn's door again, leaving a large hole. Half of her body peered inside, her cold, bloodthirsty vertical pupils staring intently at the remaining people.
Where is what I want?
The proprietress and the little girl huddled together in fear. The proprietress said to Song Mang, "Guest, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and give the snake woman what she needs!"
Song Mang took out the snake bone string and said to the snake woman, "Is this what you wanted?"
Yes, this is it.
The snake woman gave an affirmative answer.
However, the snake woman's aura grew increasingly terrifying, and her cold green vertical pupils turned blood red.
Song Mang saw a hint of madness in her eyes.
⑻вОoК． соm

"So it was you! Hahaha, I've finally found you!"
The snake woman suddenly burst into laughter, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Song Mang. "So it was you, the butcher, who chopped off my head! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Song Mang narrowed his eyes and turned to look in the direction of the proprietress and the maid.
Although the two eerie creatures were huddled together and looked terrified, their eyes were filled with schadenfreude.
Sure enough, the snake bone string was what the snake woman needed, but it wasn't an item to clear the level at all!
Taking out the snake bone string will only drive the snake woman mad, and she will still kill the player.
After all, the snake woman killing the player and then leaving is also a kind of departure.
The Snake Woman's Revenge.
This is the snake woman's revenge.
Therefore, this is a dead end; whether or not the snake bone string is found, it's still a dead end!
but...
A playful smile curved Song Mang's lips.
Since we're all going to die anyway,
Why not go for something bigger?
"boom--!"
Another loud noise was heard.
The snake woman's entire body burrowed into the inn, her upper human form vanished, and she transformed into a complete snake form, charging madly towards Song Mang.
Song Mang nimbly dodged it.
The scene quickly descended into chaos. The other two, lacking her agility, were swallowed whole by the snake woman on the spot.
This time, the snake woman, even after eating two people, did not leave and continued to rampage and attack Song Mang.
Loud bangs echoed continuously.
The ghost blades that Song Mang had just absorbed were no match for the snake woman's attacks, and he was repeatedly thrown against the wall by her.
Seeing this, the proprietress stopped pretending, stood up and said, "This batch of food is being consumed quite quickly. Little girl, let's welcome our new guests."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a look of horror on the little girl's face. "Mommy, she...she..."
What's wrong with her?
"She destroyed the snake bone string!"
"What?!"
The proprietress suddenly turned her head to look at Song Mang, only to see Song Mang crush the snake bone string in front of the snake woman and throw a handful of powder on the snake woman's face.
The proprietress screamed in utter terror, "Why didn't you give her the snake bone skewer?!"
"Why should I give it to her? Since she thinks I harmed her by cutting off her head to make snake bone skewers, then I might as well go all the way and just destroy the snake bone skewers."
Suddenly, Song Mang rushed over and hid behind the proprietress, grinning at her. "Proprietress, this way I can say I didn't die in vain, don't you think?"
The proprietress's face contorted in a frenzy. "We're doomed! We're doomed! You're trying to kill us all! You jinx!"
Song Mang: "I think it's good to be dead. Your life here is even more comfortable than that of ordinary people outside. How much do you earn working here?"
Boss lady: ?
Song Mang: "Is the inn still short-staffed? After I die, can I be the boss?"
Boss lady: ?
Is this guy crazy?!
At this time.
From not far away came the snake woman's shrill scream, "Aaaaah, it's ruined! The snake skull is ruined! My body can never be restored! I'll send you all to hell!"
The snake woman's body instantly grew two or three times its original size, and terrifying, thick blood mist emanated from her body.
In the hazy mist, Song Mang saw several headless snake shadows writhing beside the snake woman's head.
More than one snake demon?
wrong.
Song Mang then noticed the snake woman's lower body.
There is indeed only one body.
8BOoK. COM
One body, several snake heads... she's... she's the ancient ferocious beast, the Hydra?!
boom--!
Before Song Mang could react, the snake woman ripped the roof off the inn, and a huge snake shadow coiled above the inn, blotting out the sky.
"You all deserve to die!"
The snake woman opened her enormous mouth, and the blood mist that filled the inn carried Song Mang and the other ghosts, dragging them into the snake woman's mouth.
Song Mang grabbed the proprietress beside him and shouted, "Proprietress, the snake woman has gone berserk! What are we going to do? We're all going to be eaten!"
The proprietress said angrily, "Isn't this all your doing? Don't grab me! Let go!"
"No, I'm scared."
The proprietress originally wanted to push Song Mang, this troublemaker, to the front so that the snake woman could devour her first, but Song Mang used both hands and feet to hold her tightly like a sloth.
"you--!"
The proprietress was so angry she was about to vomit blood.
Seeing that Xiaoya was about to be swallowed by the snake woman, she had no choice but to rush over with Song Mang and then hold the oil lamp in her hand in front of the snake woman.
"Snake woman, you've broken the rules! Leave now, or the gods will not forgive you!"
The proprietress opened the lid of the oil lamp.
The sacred and powerful golden light reappeared, while the green snake-like shadow in the oil lamp roamed around the inn, quickly driving away the snake woman's blood mist.
"ah!"
The snake woman let out a scream, and her enormous figure instantly shrank as she fell from the sky.
She reverted to her human form with a snake tail, staring in terror at the oil lamp in the landlady's hand. Her lower body and snake tail thrashed wildly as she ran into the woods outside the inn.
The snake woman left.
Song Mang, the landlady, Xiao Ya, and the other evil spirits in the inn all fell back into the inn.
Looking at the inn, which resembled ruins, the landlady gave Song Mang a forced smile and said, "Guest, you've really done a good deed!"
Song Mang smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."
The proprietress took a deep breath. "You've found what the snake woman needs, and you haven't been eaten yet. You've cleared the level."
Song Mang asked in surprise, "Then why haven't I left the inn yet?"
The landlady looked at the woods outside the inn and said, "You need to walk out yourself. Once you cross that grove of trees, you can leave this place completely."
"All right."
Song Mang then turned and walked out of the inn.
The moment she turned around, the proprietress's face turned cold, her eyes filled with a sinister murderous intent.
After Song Mang left, Yin Die followed her with her phone, and the live stream continued.
[That really scared me to death! I thought the rich woman was going to die! That snake woman is terrifying; I feel like she's more than just a vengeful ghost!]
No wonder everyone else died; even finding what the snake woman needed didn't prevent them from dying!
Is this considered a game over? Something feels off about how I completed it.
[I think this is definitely a scam; the landlady is playing a trick on us! The streamer should head back right away!]
Silver Butterfly glanced at the comments and reminded Song Mang, "Master, the landlady might be lying. The snake woman escaped by hiding in the woods, so you'd better not go there."
"fine."
Song Mang said this casually, and then continued walking towards the dark woods.
[No, what is she doing? Is she courting death?]
I don't understand either. The landlady's explanation of how to get through customs was clearly flawed, so how could she actually believe it?
[Rich lady, hurry back! Don't die, I still want to play games with you and make money!]
Song Mang arrived at the edge of the woods, where a huge snake shadow flashed by.
The snake woman's cold, bloodthirsty voice rang out, "You dare come here again? You're courting death!"
The snake's shadow in the woods appeared before Song Mang in an instant, opening its blood-red maw toward her head.
Just as the snake woman was about to bite off her head, Song Mang suddenly pulled out a snake bone string.
The snake woman paused.
Song Mang said, "The snake bone skewers weren't destroyed. You should know in your heart that I didn't make them, and I'm not the real butcher. I'll help you get back what's rightfully yours, and you help me leave, how about that?"
