Chapter 708: Ancient Sage Jiang Xiaoyu

In the room, a middle-aged man who came hurriedly held his son's letter in trembling hands.

His eyes were filled with sorrow, and he seemed to have aged many years in an instant.

Several neighbors sighed and offered consolation.

As the messenger, Li Muyang frowned and stared at the scene in front of him and the amulet on the middle-aged man's neck.

He confirmed again and again that he was not wrong.

This is what the little wild grass refined in "The Deadly Game". Because it was the first time it was refined, the technique was very crude, and it only had a little power to drive away evil spirits and wild ghosts.

Later, when Xiao Yecao became more powerful and refined a better amulet, he replaced this amulet that he had refined for the first time.

Xiao Yecao said that this was her dark history and she wanted to destroy this imperfect half-finished product.

Li Muyang didn't care about it at the time, but he didn't expect to see this amulet on a strange mortal now.

This family also worships the spirit tablet of their ancestor Jiang Xiaoyu... This is outrageous!
I stayed as pure as a virgin in "The Deadly Game"! I didn't trigger any 18X plot at all.

How could there be descendants?

Asexual reproduction?

Li Muyang was full of doubts, but he did not rush to ask. He waited for the middle-aged man to calm down, then told the couple where the letter was found and that their son had been broken into pieces.

After listening to Li Muyang's story, the couple looked even more miserable.

But the middle-aged man still forced himself to thank him: "Thank you for sending the letter. Judging from your demeanor, you are definitely not an ordinary person. You are so kind to run around for a letter from my son."

"We are a couple and have no way to repay you. This is a treasure passed down from our ancestors. We are giving it to you, sir."

The middle-aged man took out a wooden box from the house and handed it to Li Muyang with a heavy expression.

After Li Muyang opened the box, he found some loose silver and a piece of yellowed kraft paper inside.

This is all the assets of a middle-aged man.

Judging from their family background, they were not well off.

Apart from some scattered coins, only the antiques left by our ancestors can express our gratitude.

Li Muyang took out some loose change and said that he didn't need any money, just the piece of brown paper.

[Task: Leopard's letter has been completed]

[Gain 500XP]

[Obtained item: Fragments of Nightmare]

[Level Up: LV5]

This piece of brown paper is the reward for this mission and it looks very important.

But Li Muyang's gaze lingered slightly on the amulet on the middle-aged man's chest.

Then he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "By the way, is your last name Jiang?"

Li Muyang pointed at the tablet and asked, "Why is there only one tablet for the ancestor?"

The middle-aged man was in a low mood, but he still managed to hold on and answered, "My ancestors were of humble origins, without a surname, and not worth mentioning. But my wife was born in the Jiang family of Red Leaf Valley. She married me and suffered a lot. This ancestral tablet is the ancestor of their family, and it is said that he was a great ancient sage."

"We worship this sage and hope to receive his protection."

The middle-aged man's answer made Li Muyang look at the middle-aged woman next to him.

I didn’t expect that this woman was Jiang Xiaoyu’s blood relative.

After asking a few questions, he finally understood the situation.

In the Red Leaf Valley two thousand miles away from here, there is a Jiang family who have been worshipping the spirit tablet of Jiang Xiaoyu for generations and claiming to be the descendants of the ancient sage Jiang Xiaoyu.

The characteristic of the Jiang family is the amulet on the chest of middle-aged men.

It is said that this is the symbol of their ancestors, and almost every descendant of the Jiang family wears such a amulet.

Li Muyang moved closer to take a look and found that although the amulet worn by the middle-aged man was the same style as the one Xiao Yescao gave him, it had only weak power and was an extremely ordinary imitation.

After hearing the situation, Li Muyang sighed.

"……I see."

Now that he understood the situation, there was no point for Li Muyang to stay and bother them any more. He asked the middle-aged couple about the direction of Red Leaf Valley, found the exact location on the map, and then stood up to say goodbye.

The middle-aged couple invited him to have dinner, but Li Muyang declined and insisted on leaving.

For this middle-aged couple who unfortunately lost their son, they should be given time to lick their wounds and should not be disturbed.

Li Muyang had a simple meal in the city, hired another carriage, and continued to his next destination, Red Leaf Valley.

In the carriage, he opened the parchment he got from the middle-aged couple, "The Fragments of the Nightmare Ghost".

There was no text or pattern on the blank piece of kraft paper.

But this thing is a system prop. After Li Muyang got it, a golden exclamation mark appeared on it.

After activating the exclamation mark, a new task was obtained.

[Mission: Traces of Nightmare]

[Task content: Find the trace of the nightmare ghost and collect its fragments]

[Current progress: 1/61]

However, this time, Li Muyang was not given any guidance for the mission.

Li Muyang is now like a headless fly, not knowing where to find the nightmare ghost.

"...No guidance is provided for this mission?" Li Muyang frowned and thought, feeling strange.

Is this nightmare ghost difficult to find?

When I opened the map, there was no red dot representing the mission objective.

Li Muyang could only continue on his journey. Without any destination in mind, he first went to the Red Leaf Valley to meet the Jiang family.

The rushing process in this game cannot be skipped, but the good news is that you can hang up.

There is an on-hook button.

After hanging up, Li Muyang can exit the game and play "God Killing Simulator".

He planned to wait until the carriage arrived at the Red Leaf Valley before going online.

But when Li Muyang was fighting with the Midnight God in "God Killer Simulator", he suddenly received a system reminder.

[Sensing the traces of the Nightmare Ghost]

[Number of targets: 3]

Seeing this system prompt, Li Muyang no longer cared about the fierce battle with the Midnight God.

He immediately quit the game and returned to "The Devil's Heart Buddha".

The carriage was still on the road to the Red Leaf Valley, but not far ahead was a small town.

It was already late at night, the sun was setting and the sky was filled with afterglow.

It seems that the driver plans to stay here overnight.

After Li Muyang opened the map, he saw three red dots in the town ahead.

The system's arrow guidance also appeared in the field of vision.

"Very good, it seems the system is still useful."

As long as you get close to the nightmare ghost, the system will mark its location.

Li Muyang turned over and got off the carriage, which scared the coachman and the townspeople who were watching on the roadside.

Li Muyang's eyes were fixed on a middle-aged man in the crowd.

This middle-aged man had an untidy beard and dirty, greasy hair. It was obvious that he had not washed his hair recently. He looked sloppy and dirty.

Judging from the surface alone, this middle-aged man is no different from an ordinary person.

But in Li Muyang's vision, the other townspeople all had light yellow health bars representing neutrality, only this middle-aged man had a red health bar.
