Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 945 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 33

"Look, the gap is really gone. Can we get out now?"

Gu Wusi's voice pulled Zhang Qiling back to reality.

Really gone.

He was surprised for a moment, but quickly accepted it: "Perhaps."

"Then pack your things and get ready to go down the mountain."

As soon as you step out of the bronze door, the cold air outside clings to you.

Gu Wusi tightened his down jacket and used his spiritual power to ward off the cold.

Both of them knew the way down the mountain and were in good physical condition, so they descended quickly.

Gu Wusi appeared to be traveling quietly, but in reality, he was chatting with Xiao Qi using his mind.

"Xiao Qi, didn't you say that my body is immortal?"

"Yes, host."

"That's not right. Even if you have the bloodline of Bai Ze, you can't live as long as the heavens. A pure bloodline can live for several thousand years. The original owner's bloodline could only live for a thousand years at most."

Xiao Qi tilted her head: "But in this world, a lifespan of thousands of years is no different from immortality."

"...Fine, your reasoning wins."

"Hehe, host, shall I tell you about the clue I obtained from the Heavenly Dao now?"

"Go ahead."

"Far away, yet right before my eyes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi rolled her eyes.

"Isn't that Zhang Qiling? Wasn't he the one who sent the original owner to the orphanage back then?"

Xiao Qi thought for a moment: "I think it's possible."

"What's the cause and effect? ​​Should we repay him? What does he lack? The problem with the bronze door has been solved, but he still has the problem of amnesia."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi remained silent for a moment, checking the task progress.

"Host, we didn't make a mistake with the Bronze Gate. That person should be Zhang Qiling. Take a look at the mission progress bar."

Gu Wusi glanced at it and saw that the progress had indeed reached 95%.

"So, all that's left is to repay him? After all, he saved the original owner's life."

"I think so."

"How can we repay him? Treat his amnesia? His body probably also has a blood clotting disorder, caused by excessive bloodletting."

"Sure, host. This isn't the first time you've treated him, so just treat him like your benefactor."

"Hmm." Gu Wusi seemed thoughtful.

Zhang Qiling watched as the person focused solely on moving forward, unaware that they had strayed from the path.

He grabbed Gu Wusi's hat.

"What's wrong?" Gu Wusi couldn't move, so she turned around.

Zhang Qiling looked in another direction: "Let's go this way."

"Oh, I was just spacing out." Since someone was leading the way, she didn't let Xiao Qi turn on the walking navigation.

As she walked, she suddenly stared at Zhang Qiling.

At first, Zhang Qiling didn't react after watching for a while, but she kept looking at him for a long time without looking away.

Zhang Qiling turned his head and silently asked her what she was looking at.

"It's nothing." Gu Wusi turned back.

She was thinking about how to get Zhang Qiling to save her and make him her benefactor, so she would have a reason to repay him.

Or, you could just be honest with him about what happened back then.

But he probably doesn't remember it, after all, he's someone who frequently suffers from amnesia.

If you tell him directly, he might not accept help from others.

Looking at it this way, it's a bit troublesome.

After thinking about it, she decided that she might as well try a familiar method to make him more obedient.

For example, you could get together with him; it wouldn't be the first time anyway.

She'd seen his face countless times over, and she still wasn't tired of it.

Thinking about it this way, how is it any different from reuniting with an ex after a long separation?

He simply forgot himself, or rather, he didn't have himself in his memory.

As for how to proceed, let's take it one step at a time.

Gu Wusi looked up, his gaze sweeping across the distance.

They are now walking in a forest, where the trees and the ground are covered in snow.

An idea suddenly struck her, and she stopped in her tracks.

Zhang Qiling looked at her, as if asking her why she wasn't leaving.

"I can't walk anymore, let me rest for a while."

He nodded and pointed to a flat area not far away.

Gu Wusi followed him over, rested for a while, and then it gradually got dark.

Because this place isn't far from the foot of the mountain.

If you walk fast, it takes a few hours; if you walk slowly, it takes about half a day.

The two planned to descend the mountain overnight, rest well, and then continue their journey.

Suddenly, a flock of human-faced owls flew down from the sky, seemingly heading towards them.

"Be careful," Zhang Qiling said, then drew his sword and stepped forward to attract most of the attention of the human-faced owl.

Gu Wusi looked up at the sky, a gun now in her hand. Any human-faced owl that got close to her would be blown to bits with a single shot.

She didn't take out her sword until the gun was out of bullets.

Xiao Qi asked her, "Host, are you really out of bullets?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi smiled meaningfully: "Guess."

"I suspect you're playing some kind of trick."

"Shh..."

Gu Wusi moved closer to Zhang Qiling, and the two of them turned their backs to each other, each dealing with one side.

This way, we can cover all four directions and prevent them from finding a breakthrough.

However, after twenty minutes, the number of human-faced owls not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

The two were completely surrounded. Every time they knocked away one of the owls, another would immediately fly in to take its place.

No matter how powerful they are, they can't fight against four hands with two fists.

"go!"

Zhang Qiling cleared a gap, allowing Gu Wusi to run first.

Gu Wusi nodded and was about to run out when he saw all the human-faced owls rushing towards him.

In such a situation, he definitely couldn't handle it alone and would get injured.

She immediately grabbed him and ran. Zhang Qiling could only run after her, his gaze sweeping over his hand that was being held.

The two ran very fast, with the human-faced owl flying behind them in the air.

Even after running for about 500 meters, they still kept chasing after us.

Gu Wusi was running when he suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

“There’s a snow pit ahead, let’s jump in.”

She leaned to the side, and Zhang Qiling immediately grabbed her.

"Hmm." That's all we can do for now.

The two jumped down without hesitation, as if they had jumped into an abyss, and it took them quite a while to land.

After landing, Zhang Qiling rolled over to dissipate the force and stood up without any serious injury.

It was a bit dark down there, and when he took the flashlight out of his backpack, he wondered why Gu Wusi wasn't making any noise.

When the flashlight was turned on, the first thing that came into view was a small pit, and Gu Wusi was not far away, rubbing his ankle.

Zhang Qiling walked over: "Your foot?"

He was puzzled; given her skills, she shouldn't have been injured so easily.

Gu Wusi pressed his slightly swollen ankle and frowned: "I was running too fast and didn't notice when I twisted my ankle. I twisted it again when I jumped down."

"Where's the medicine?" He didn't have any sprain medicine with him.

"I didn't bring any. I brought someone with me. My bag only contains things for emergencies."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling remained silent for more than ten seconds before speaking expressionlessly: "Let me take a look at your bones."

"Okay." Gu Wusi nodded without hesitation.

A slightly cool hand grasped her ankle, feeling along her bones.
