Chapter 35 Nightfall
Xiao Jie immediately became interested in the black whirlwind in front of him. It would be so cool if he could take this thing out to level up.

"Yes, I can understand your canine language. How about that? That's amazing, right? Why don't you follow me? If you follow me, you can have as much roast chicken and bacon as you want."

Black Whirlwind growled, "Woof, a good dog doesn't have a second master, so just forget about it - Meatball, get back to the team and don't come forward when you hear the name of Roast Chicken."

The fat dog named Rouqiu looked at Xiao Jie reluctantly and went back to his den.

Xiao Jie was speechless. How can you, a dog, be so principled?

Black Whirlwind continued, "If you want to gain the loyalty of the hounds, you must become the master's apprentice to be qualified to gain their loyalty."

When Meatball heard this, he immediately became excited, "Yes, yes, yes, go find the master and become his disciple. Remember to choose me."

Xiao Jie said helplessly: "There is no way, your master does not accept disciples."

"Who said that? Our master already has an apprentice, why wouldn't he accept one?"

Hmm... the hunter actually has an apprentice? Yes, it should be the previous player.

"How long ago was your master's apprentice?"

"Not long ago, she just came back."

Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there were other players in the village, but why had he never seen them before?

Black Claw (hound): "Shut up, Meatball, stop talking about your master's business."

Meatball (hound): "I said that the master doesn't accept apprentices now because of the mistress's illness. Good man, hurry up and pick a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, and the master will accept you as an apprentice. If you can cure the mistress's illness, the master will be happy and will give you treasures. Can you cure illnesses?"

Black Whirlwind suddenly snorted coldly: "Humph, the mistress is not sick at all, it's useless even if he can cure the disease."

"You're not sick? Why are you lying in bed if you're not sick?"

The Black Whirlwind said nothing more.

However, Xiao Jie felt that he had grasped the key point and there must be hidden information in it.

"I don't really know any medical skills, but I certainly have my own abilities. If you tell me what happened to my mistress, maybe I can help her. Otherwise, your mistress has been treating her as an illness, so she will never be cured."

Black Whirlwind tilted his head and looked at Xiao Jie, "Well, weird human, maybe you are right.

The hostess is not sick, she has something stuck in her body."

"what?"

"A black shadow was always flying outside during those few nights. One day, the hostess went out in the middle of the night and was pounced on by the shadow. She fainted. The shadow got into her body and made her afraid to see the light."

After hearing this, Xiao Jie suddenly realized that this must be a ghost encounter. Was he possessed by a night ghost?

But wouldn't a person possessed by a night ghost be killed by the ghost? Why didn't the hunter's wife die?

"How about this weird human, can you save our mistress?"

"Let me give it a try."

Xiao Jie said, he walked straight to the front yard of the hunter's house, and when he arrived at the door of the wooden house, he saw a player talking to the hunter, and it was a female player.

He was wearing exquisite dark green leather armor, a green cloak, carrying a bow and a pot of arrows, and a long sword at his waist.

It gives me a sense of déjà vu of an elf ranger.

Look at the name above your head.

Yeluo (Hunter Apprentice), Level: 8. HP: 150.

"Master, this is the hundred-year-old ginseng I dug from the North Mountain. Please accept it."

Yang Baichuan (Hunter): "You've done very well, Ye Luo. Your master's wife's illness may not be cured in a short time. Alas, it's a pity that I don't have time to guide you personally. I can only let you figure it out on your own. I accept your kindness. By the way, I have a unique skill here, which can be considered a reward for you." The female player's body flashed white light, and it was obvious that she had learned some new skills. However, her face showed no sadness or joy. She just bowed and thanked him. When she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly turned back.

"Who is there?"

Xiao Jie hurriedly came out from his hiding place and said, "Good afternoon, both of you."

When Yang Baichuan saw that it was Xiao Jie, he immediately showed his impatience, "I've said before, I'm not interested in taking in disciples recently, little brother, you should go ask somewhere else."

"Master Yang, don't say that first. What if I say I can cure Madam's illness?"

Yang Baichuan said in disbelief: "You are not a doctor? How can you cure it?"

"Haha, some diseases don't require medication to treat. You gave your wife so much ginseng but she didn't get better. We'll know if I can cure her if we give it a try. It's better than what you have now, right?"

Yang Baichuan pondered for a moment and said, "Come in. If you can help my wife recover, I will teach you my best skills."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this was what he had been waiting for. He followed the hunter into the room, only to find that the room was dark and even the windows were nailed shut.

In the innermost room of the house there was a wooden bed covered with animal skins. Yang Baichuan's wife was lying under the skins. Her face was pale and she was still shaking violently in broad daylight. She had her eyes closed and her lips were blue.

Xiao Jie thought that judging from the situation, he was indeed possessed by evil spirits.

"I don't know what's wrong with my wife. The doctor has seen her but can't find a cure. He just said it's because of a loss of vital energy, and she needs to take ginseng to restore it. Since she got sick, she's afraid of sunlight, and can only close the windows during the day. She can't eat, and can only drink ginseng soup to stay alive."

"It's okay, just watch what I do." Xiao Jie said and directly dragged the equipment skills of the Divine Wood Talisman to the shortcut bar.

Click Release on the Hunter's Wife.

The magic to ward off evil spirits!
A white light suddenly flashed on the hunter's wife's body, and then she let out a scream and her limbs twitched. A gust of cold wind blew in the room out of nowhere. When the cold wind dissipated, the hunter's wife had already opened her eyes.

A hint of color appeared on the pale face.

"Boss, what's wrong with me? I feel so weak, as if I have slept for years. Oh, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you right away."

"I just want to eat the broth you stew."

Yang Baichuan excitedly went to stew meat for his wife.

Xiao Jie was equally excited. Not only could he become a hunter now, but he might also get some hidden rewards.

I have to say it’s great to have a magic weapon.
Hahaha, so easy!

"It's useless. That thing is not dead. It will come back sooner or later." A cold voice came from behind.

Huh? Xiao Jie looked at Ye Luo in surprise.

This girl had been watching from the sidelines, but she didn't seem surprised by the scene before her.

"how do you know?"

"I can see it." She looked towards a corner of the room, in darkness.

Xiao Jie looked in the direction of the gaze, but saw only darkness. He felt doubtful. Was it true?

"Why can't I see it?"

"Your perception is too low. Ghosts are invisible to the naked eye. I added 20 points of perception to collect herbs, so I can see things that ordinary people can't see. It's there - well, it's gone now, probably hiding.

Exorcism spells also have strength levels. Your magic weapon is probably just a low-grade one. It is weaker during the day, so even if you succeed, it may be useless at night."
