Chapter 3281: Why the Town?

More and more people collapsed, their eyes empty, their vitality completely stripped away, turning into dry corpses.

Such an abnormal phenomenon—Ning Shu instantly thought of the heavens-altering formation.

Why was the heavens-altering formation appearing in this town?

Did Mei Ziqing’s lover lay the formation over the town?

But the forest has more creatures, countless trees, plants, animals, souls, and vitality.

Why the town?

2333’s voice appeared in Ning Shu’s head, “Mei Ziqing said her lover activated the heavens-altering formation. It was supposed to cover ten kilometers, but now it’s expanded to a fifty-kilometer radius. The town is within range.”

Ning Shu: “What the hell!”

“Mei Ziqing said you should escape quickly. Her lover’s all in now. Fifty kilometers is already the max coverage of the formation,” 2333 said.

Ning Shu felt like she’d been screwed over. How was she supposed to escape? Before she could make it out of the formation range, her vitality would have already been fully drained.

She looked up at the sky. It was gray and murky. Something was blocking visibility.

Crossbow Lar and Dagger Mu were in pain, both holding their heads and squatting down.

Having their soul forcefully pulled out of their body was extremely painful.

A powerful suction force was trying to rip Ning Shu’s soul from her body and drag it toward the sky.

Ning Shu circulated her internal energy, then drew a symbol on Crossbow Lar’s and Dagger Mu’s foreheads with her finger.

These spells could pin souls to bodies.

Crossbow Lar and Dagger Mu looked a bit better, not quite as miserable.

But it would only hold for a moment. The formation’s power was growing stronger. Even Ning Shu was struggling to withstand it—her soul felt like it could be ripped out at any time.

“Did you find anything to anchor the soul in place?” Ning Shu asked anxiously.

“There are soul-anchoring pills. Want it?” 2333 asked.

“Yes. Yes, as long as they can fix this current issue,” Ning Shu said.

“But it’s expensive. Five merit points per pill.”

Ning Shu gritted her teeth. “Fine. Three pills.”

Three golden pills appeared in Ning Shu’s hand.

She stuffed one into Crossbow Lar’s mouth and one into Dagger Mu’s.

Then one for herself.

“You damn woman, what did you feed me?!” Dagger Mu clawed at his own throat.

The moment the soul-anchoring pill entered her mouth, her soul felt as if it were weighed down by a heavy weight—no longer light and floating.

The three of them felt much better.

Ning Shu wiped her sweat and asked 2333, “Where is Mei Ziqing now?”

“Tell Mei Ziqing’s system to give us a location, a map.” Ning Shu was extremely irritated.

“Oh, okay.” 2333 replied energetically, probably off to pick a fight with Mei Ziqing’s system again.

After a while, 2333 said, “Mei Ziqing is in the mountains.”

Ning Shu smiled, “I know she’s in the mountains—*where* in the mountains?”

“The other system gave me coordinates. Just follow them. So satisfying, that system is such a coward.”

Ning Shu: …

No matter how you look at it, Mei Ziqing was in the wrong this time.

But 2333 was getting too full of himself.

Ning Shu said to Crossbow Lar, “We’re going to find my friend now.”

Crossbow Lar nodded, “Wherever you go, I’ll go.”

In no time, everyone in the town had died. Even some trees had withered.

Ning Shu went into a shop and grabbed some dry biscuits.

The shopkeeper was already dead, reduced to a dry corpse.

If just one town had this many dead, it was unimaginable how many died in the full fifty-kilometer range.

It seemed Mei Ziqing hadn’t dealt with her lover, allowing him to activate the heavens-altering formation.
