Gu Mo sighed inwardly, glanced across, this was a very awkward spot.

The starting point should be there, not far away, but he must walk past the Wet Woman.

His mind raced, and he made a decision, first looking around carefully, then secretly using a Communication Talisman to confirm there were no other lurking dangers around. Only then he looked ahead, holding the torch, hesitantly approached while lightly calling out uncertainly:

"Miss? Miss? What's wrong with you?"

"..."

The demon resembling a woman curled up on the riverbank moved slightly, without any response.

Gu Mo continued to call softly as he slowly approached. He wasn't trying to disturb the demon, but even if he didn't do this, it would surely already know he was here, and now it was posing like this presumably to lure him—

Otherwise, in this deep wilderness, how stupid must it be to keep posing here?

As Gu Mo's actions seemed oblivious, the Wet Woman demon remained unmoving, but the snake-like body beneath the water couldn't restrain itself and began to slightly sway.

Savory human flesh, soon foolishly delivered to its mouth for tasting any way it desired, it struggled to suppress the excitement in its heart.

Slowly, as the foolish human's voice approached a certain range, the beautiful face buried in its arm gradually distorted, mouth cracking open to the roots behind its ears, revealing sharp, poisonous fangs… then, at the next moment—

Boom!!

Boom boom!!

Just as it was about to launch its assault, like a snake attacking a prey within range, several hot fireballs precisely struck its head. At this point, Gu Mo no longer hesitated to use curse talismans; if not for the limitation of hand speed, he would have gladly bombarded all of his remaining stock at this creature's head.

A sharp, reptilian-like hiss of anger or pain erupted, huge waves splashed up from the river, the massive five-six meter snake body furiously twisted, beating the water, rapidly extinguishing the flames.

The enraged snake woman turned its head venomously and lunged at the hated prey.

Gu Mo silently raised the long sword in his hand, the ordinary iron in that moment sparkling and shining, overflowing with colors, almost unrecognizable in shape and outline—pure white light radiated, its edge flickered like a snake… it was the power of the White Viper residing in the weapon.

Ninety-nine Weapons!

If you're so reckless, let's use you as the first test for the blade! His eyes narrowed as he took the initiative to charge forward!

...

...

Reality, neighborhood.

The night was quiet and serene.

Sitting in a brightly lit guard room, though he was well-maintained, the old security guard with graying temples put down his phone, stretched lazily, and then reached for the cup on the table, taking a sip of the goji berry water inside, feeling slightly more refreshed.

He glanced outside, withdrew his gaze, and yawned again.

Since he was frightened last time, over a month has passed without such an occurrence again. In hindsight, he thought perhaps he was too tired at the time, making him paranoid, when really nothing happened.

Generally speaking, even under these circumstances, most people wouldn't want to be a security guard working night shifts.

But Old Ding insisted otherwise, especially with recent rumors of haunted incidents. Everyone said he was just old and now scared easily, frightening himself… given his stubborn nature, he couldn't accept this. So he repeatedly blamed Xiao Gu, saying that if not for the young man being so inconsiderate, he wouldn't overthink.

He also insisted on continuing in his role to prove that in a lifetime, he had been through thick and thin, and fear was nonexistent!

However, now that it's been a while since he last saw Xiao Gu… although they didn't meet daily, this absence stretched long enough to suspect the young man might be deliberately avoiding him.

Old Ding conjectured this, his old face grew more displeased—an ill-mannered junior. Just because he was lectured during explanations, now holding grudges. Those gossipers chose to spread stories and it wasn't him who prompted them; words were theirs to use as they pleased, what could he do?

Ugh, young people these days are really unreasonable. When he sees Xiao Gu again, he definitely needs to give him a proper scolding…

Thinking this, he lowered his head and picked up his phone again, and just then, he suddenly smelled an extremely strong scent of blood.

Old Ding instinctively looked up, his gaze turned to stone.

A figure dressed like those ancient soldiers seen on TV appeared outside at some unknown moment—half of the body was splattered with blood, although the face was indistinct, an aura of murder was palpable…

The strong smell of blood emanated from it.
