Mirland is thirty kilometers away from Oakhedge.
The first twenty kilometers could be driven, but the last ten kilometers had to be walked because it was a dense forest that had never been exploited.
The Oakhedge government used to want to carry out the mining as well, but the Mirland people always found ways to cause trouble for the construction team.
Either the workers suddenly contracted various illnesses, or the construction equipment experienced different malfunctions.
Over time, the construction units also dared not take on the job, and the government also understood that this was the tactic of the Mirland people. They were also afraid of getting into trouble, so they abandoned the idea of mining Mirland.
In the morning, Zoey and the others finished breakfast and then packed a van to go to Mirland.
The drivers were quite talkative, and they started chatting with Enzo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shortly after getting in the
"Bound Worm?"The old woman was taken aback, "The worm raiser could solve it."Roderick said, "We are also unsure who worm raiser is, are there any other methods?"The old woman thought for a moment, "To undo the Bound Worm, three conditions are required. First, the Venomous Worm must be a Golden Worm; second, undoing the Bound Worm requires the use of one's own blood, which is very harmful to the body, and no one is willing to do so; third, a fresh human heart is needed, which must be dried and ground into ashes. All three conditions are indispensable. Only Lilliana has the Golden Worm in the entire Mirland."Roderick squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you sure only Lilliana had it?"The old woman sighed heavily and said, "I know you doubt my words and fear that I am saying this just to make you go and save Lilliana. There is no need, I never counted on you four outsiders to be able to save Lilliana. After all, Blackmere Village and Butteriron Vill
Enzo ran over excitedly and handed over the grass in his hand, saying, "I recognize this grass, it can paralyze people's nerves, and it is very effective."Roderick took it and glanced at it, "You are somewhat useful."Enzo was speechless.Zoey pondered for a moment, pinching the grass. "So, we will do it like this when the time comes..."Roderick and Enzo fell into silence after listening.Zoey said, "This was the best way. Don't worry, I had absolutely no problem with my skills."At that moment, Russell approached them while holding Alberto.From a distance, Zoey thought that Russell was good at holding babies. In the future, when they have children, Russell will definitely be a good father.Russell approached and said, "Master said we might be able to make use of this kind of grass."Zoey nodded and explained the plan to him.Russell frowned, "This idea is good, it reduced certain risks, but I will replace you
The village was particularly lively, but for Lilliana on stage, the imprisoned Esterden Village, and Zoey, the laughter and joy were particularly grating.The kind of happiness built upon the suffering of others was shameful.I already have enough of my own, but still want to invade others', which is no different from being a robber or bandit.Zoey walked briskly, determined to rescue Lilliana and Esterden Village tonight.At this moment, a tall man blocked Zoey's way. He reeked of alcohol, swaying as he spoke something.Zoey felt that he must have been drunk, but she still kept her head down, afraid that the man would notice her flushed face.She was about to bypass him, but she didn't expect the man to grab her arm and try to hug her.Zoey lifted her gaze, her eyes cold and fierce. She pricked the man's neck with a needle held between her fingertips.The man instantly widened his eyes, his body stiffened, and his mouth couldn
On a pitch-black night, the sound of cicadas filled the air, disturbing and unsettling those who heard it.People from three villages gathered here, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.Lilliana told Zoey, "The man with the big beard is Milton Nielsen, the chief of Blackmere Village, and the other one with braided hair is Tyler Cooley, the chief of Butteriron Village."The village chief of Blackmere Village had a fierce and intense look, with a strong aura of hostility.He pointed at Zoey and said in broken language, "You dare to trespass into my territory, and even killed my son. Now you want to set my slave free! You deserve to die!"Zoey's lips curved with a mocking arc, "No one is born to be anyone's slave, you have no right to detain, control, and judge others!""Survival of the fittest is the natural norm, Esterden Village is a backward village where the residents are all lower-class people, and being backward means being subject
The girl's eyes were almost on fire, and she had a fierce look on her face. "So what if I scold you? You deserve it!""Hazel!" the woman grabbed her arm and whispered something.The girl, with red eyes, said to Zoey with great unwillingness, "I'm sorry."Zoey pretended to dig her ears, "I couldn't hear."The girl said it again loudly.Zoey sneered, "Talking is useless, there's still one minute left."Milton instantly understood Zoey's meaning, that it was not something that could be resolved with an apology, and he raised his hand and gave Hazel Hernandez a resounding slap.Hazel looked at Milton in astonishment, "Dad, did you really hit me?"The woman also reproached him.Milton scolded the woman, "Shut up, Marley!"Milton ignored her and asked Zoey, "Is this okay?"Zoey glanced at Xander Hernandez's condition, "Half a minute."Milton slapped Hazel again, causing the latter to fall to the ground.
Russell noticed that she stiffened a bit and asked softly, "What's wrong?"Zoey released the hand that was wrapped around her waist and cleared her throat, "Um, there were a lot of people."Russell looked around and saw that there were many people standing not far away. Among them were Lilliana, Roderick, Enzo, and the people from Esterden Village.Zoey walked briskly over and pulled a smile, "You guys left and came back?"Lilliana nodded, "After we left Blackmere Village, we were on our way back to Butteriron Village. After walking for a kilometer, everyone felt that we couldn't just leave you in Blackmere Village, so we all came back. Heads can be severed, and blood can be shed, but we cannot sacrifice others' lives for our own safety. We, the people of Esterden Village, cannot do such a thing!"Other residents of Esterden Village also echoed this sentiment.Zoey was truly moved by the spirit of Esterden Village, but now she feels incredib
The decades-long curse turned out to be a man-made revenge.This shocked everyone in Esterden Village.With the element of mysticism present, nobody knew whether it was true or false, and the people of Esterden Village had no suitable reason to fight back.Did you curse me? Is this how our village used to be?This reason was very far-fetched.However, once it is a deliberate retaliation, the nature changes.After all, those people who could have lived long lives lost their lives at the age of fifty, causing each happy family to fall apart.Everyone in Esterden Village was furious, and they were ready to march to Butteriron Village with weapons to demand an explanation.Zoey stopped everyone and said, "Everyone, calm down. I know this is hard to accept, but what if Butteriron Village doesn't admit it? Do you have any concrete evidence?"The people of Esterden Village vented their anger one after another."It has be
"Zoey, enjoy the last few minutes of being able to breathe freely! Soon, your heart will be inside my body!"Hospital operating room.Zoey Harmon was completely immobilized on the operating table and couldn't move.Just after the car accident, she is now in so much pain that she is almost suffocating.The overhead light cast a shadow on her face as she incredulously looked at her sister dressed in a patient gown."Why!""Why?" Ariana Harmon reached out and poked her chest, her lips curling into a sinister smile.“You should blame yourself for today's suffering, why do you always have to be better than me on everything!"“Did you really think I cared about you?” Ariana scoffed, "If I hadn’t pretended to be kind, would you have handed over your designs, worked as my voice double, or trusted me enough to drink that juice mixed with sedatives before the accident?"“Do you remember the fire at the bar ten years ago? That was my doing! Those thugs I hired were useless—they couldn’t even fi

When Zoey and Russell found Enzo, they were having a blast slurping stinky fish soup at the shop.Zoey felt that stinky fish soup was really delicious, but she really wasn't used to the smell.She stood at the door and waved, "Master, come out quickly!"Enzo's eyes lit up and his mouth puffed up, "Did you two come looking for a taste?"Russell slightly turned his body while holding the child, and only then did Enzo notice the child in his arms.He knew something was wrong, so he quickly took a few bites, drank the soup in big gulps, wiped his mouth, and ran out."Where did the child come from?"Zoey said, "The candy got stuck in his airway after saving it in front of the wonton shop. He spoke in Mirland language, and he wants you to translate it."Enzo pinched the little boy's hand and asked him in Mirland language how he was doing.The little boy remained silent, said a sentence, and then closed his eyes again.Z
