Xie Wanwans body was lying on the cold ground in the underground, blood pooling out from the big hole in her chest, and there were splashes of blood on the surrounding walls. Her face was frozen in fright, the panic and disbelief at the mont before she died fixed on her face.
Isabel stepped back a few steps in fear, clinging to Qi Lerens arm, so strong that she pinched a row of fingerprints on his arm. Qi Leren patted her arm placidly, took out his arm reluctantly, and went forward to check.
The body was still warm, and it didnt seem to have died for too long. This fatal wound was what had caused it. The area was very large, even the internal organs were exposed, a mass of sticky collapsed flesh in the blood, which looked particularly disgusting.
Qi Leren hadnt recovered from the shock of seeing Xie Wanwans body. How was it possible? How could she just die? This question echoed in his mind over and over again, making him feel like he was dreaming.
Who killed her? Lu Youxin? Qi Leren asked in a daze.
Ning Zhou squatted down to check her wound, and nodded her head in a dignified manner.
Was it that Xie Wanwan tried to kill Lu Youxin and was killed herself? Was Lu Youxin so powerful? Qi Lerens mind was a ss.
What about Lu Youxin?
Isabel sounded like she was choking behind him. She held her head against the wall, slowly sat down on the ground, curled up into a ball, and Qi Leren ran back and asked her what was wrong.
Isabel seed to be frightened, holding her head in her hands, her body shaking violently all over, and making a gurgling sound in her throat, as if she wanted to speak but her words were caught in her throat.
Are you ok? Whats the matter? Qi Leren was confused by her abnormal reaction.
Ning Zhou also ca over and lifted her up from the ground. Isabel turned pale, and her eyes rolled as she passed out. Qi Leren quickly shook her, but unfortunately there was no response. She seed to be in a deep coma.
Probably seeing the dead stirred her mory, Qi Leren said with uncertainty and asked awkwardly, What should we do now?
Ning Zhous big blackbird suddenly said calmly: Find an empty room to settle down, lets find the last witch.
Although he knew that Ning Zhous bird could speak, what the bird said was always not only mocking but also quick witted. Hearing it suddenly say a long sentence clearly, Qi Leren turned stupid: You, you, you, you
I let it speak. Once I speak, the accumulated strength in my skill will be wasted, the big blackbird added, pecking Ning Zhous ear with its beak, and Ning Zhou nodded slightly at Qi Leren.
Qi Leren listened, stunned, and watched in a daze as Ning Zhou picked up the passed out Isabel and moved forward. He quickly followed after her, looking at his wrist that the goddess wrote on and thinking sullenly, since the pet can speak for her, why didnt she speak before? Did she think it was unnecessary to explain to him?
The Goddess heart was as deep as the sea, poor Qi Leren who had never had experience of being in love before ntally scratched his head. Although he knew intellectually that he shouldnt be quibbling over such a thing in this dangerous situation, he couldnt control himself emotionally!
In an instant, Ning Zhou had taken Isabel to an empty room, put her on the bed, and put a crystal stone-like thing in her hand. A faint halo emanated from her hand and enveloped her inside. Ning Zhou nodded at Qi Leren, and they left the room and continued to look for the last witch.
The underground palace was too big. Looking for a witch aimlessly was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Qi Leren had nothing to talk to Ning Zhou about, pretending that he was seriously analyzing: We still have to start from the tips on the stone wall. The tips say that this witch is like a gecko with a broken tail, but people dont have a tail. This broken tail may an that a part of her body is missing.
Ning Zhou listened attentively to his speech and nodded from ti to ti, but this had greatly inspired Qi Leren. He spoke like a junior high school student who couldnt wait to show off his solution ideas to his favorite deskmate, and chattered on like beans spilling: But its also possible that the 'broken tail is not a physical description, but a description of her being as fast as a gecko who survived at a critical juncture. She should have a keen sense of sll, because the tip says that she 'slls the living and 'eats the dead body. Wed better go to Ye Xia or Xie Wanwans body.
Ning Zhou blinked, and there was a trace of emotion that could be called appreciation in her beautiful blue eyes. Qi Leren was greatly encouraged, and although he was obviously too proud, he pretended to be modest and said, Well, in fact, I might possibly have also talked nonsense, I may not necessarily be right.
Ning Zhous big blackbird looked at him contemptuously, and Qi Leren stared back at it. One person and one bird suggested to each other with their eyes that you are a fucking moron, while Ning Zhou had already started to leave, and Qi Leren, who felt a little regret about failing to win the fight with his gaze, quickly followed.
The corridor of the underground palace was like a maze. Ning Zhou suddenly stopped for a while and looked thoughtfully. Qi Leren thought that she had found sothing, and imdiately beca alert. Unexpectedly, Ning Zhous bird said faintly: Why didnt you show the way like a gentleman like you promised?
Qi Leren imdiately realized that the goddess was lost! So he rushed forward to express himself, but before he could show his ability to know the way, Ning Zhous face suddenly changed and she ran in the direction theyd co from.
Huh? What kind of trouble was going on? Qi Leren was at a loss and quickly gave chase.
The speed of going back was much faster than when they ca. When Qi Leren ran to the door of the room where Isabel had been left, a shadow ca out of the door as fast as a lightning and went straight for Qi Lerens face. He stood on the spot in astonishnt, and when he saw that his blood was about to splash three feet, a hoarse and gentle voice sounded in the room: Get out of the way!
Although the inexplicable strength was not strong, Qi Lerens body was still tilted uncontrollably to the side, and a strong breeze passed over his head. He subconsciously looks up a figure with only half of their body was covered with blood that splashed on his face. When he looked back, it climbed on the wall of the corridor like a gecko, and its eyes under its hair were flashing with greed. Its mouth seed to have been torn open, reaching from ear to ear, revealing a mouth filled with bloody fangs.
Ning Zhou had rushed out of the room, and the gecko witch let out a scream hoarsely, leaving her body with only two arms hanging upside down on the wall above her head and fleeing like a bird.
It was so fast that it just disappeared in front of the two people in the blink of an eye. Ning Zhou gave up chasing and inserted the two knives back into their scabbards.
Qi Leren stood up holding the wall and hurried in to see Isabels situation. She was still in a coma, and the barrier that enveloped her was still there, but the halo seed to have dimd greatly. It was probably that the gecko witch had touched the barrier while attacking her, which was why Ning Zhou had co back in such a hurry.
Fortunately, Isabel was fine. If she died, it would be troubleso to complete this hidden quest.
Ning Zhou ca over from the door, and Qi Leren asked with concern: Are you hurt?
Ning Zhou shook her head, frowning when she saw his face. He wiped the blood on his face with his sleeves. Qi Leren hadnt noticed that hed been sared with blood by the gecko witch, and imdiately felt sick and turned aside to wipe his face. This wasnt clean blood. If it was poisonous, wouldnt his face be disfigured?
The blackbird perched on Isabels bed cleared its throat and said seriously, It has a knife wound.
Suddenly, he heard the blackbird say sothing serious in its natural mocking voice, but Qi Leren still couldnt accept it. He stole a glance at Ning Zhou and then slowly made a sound.
Wait, what the goddess ans is that it was injured, and she wasnt the one to cut it?
Did it get hurt? Qi Leren asked.
Ning Zhou nodded his head.
Is it Lu Youxin? Qi Leren asked again.
Youre stupid, its a knife wound, the big blackbird said contemptuously.
Well, this sentence was definitely not Ning Zhous words. It was really easy to distinguish.
But if not Lu Youxin, who could it be? Judging from the ti when the last witch appeared, Ye Xia was already dead, and they couldnt be sure about Xie Wanwan. Judging from the interval between the tips on the wall, the last three witches appeared very close to one another, but the next witch appeared only after one was destroyed. Judging from the battle traces, both Lu Youxin and Xie Wanwan were suspected to have fought with the statue witch, and then Xie Wanwan died, and the murderer was most likely Lu Youxin. From the point of view that Xie Wanwans place of death was very close to the statue, it was very likely that the two of them had fallen out imdiately after jointly dealing with the statue witch. If Xie Wanwan had cut the gecko witch, it had to have been in a very narrow span of ti. Besides, he wasnt sure if Xie Wanwan wielded a knife or not.
Was it the Ellie-Aisha sisters? Was it true that the two missing sisters werent so simple? Or was it Lu Youxin who cut it? In fact, could she also wield a knife? But looking at Xie Wanwans body, the wounds may have been pierced by Liu Youxin with her bare hands. He rembered that he had seen Lu Youxin return to the palace with blood on her hands before. She probably was used to fighting with her bare hands.
Things beca more and more complicated, and Qi Leren rubbed his temples and felt upset.
Ning Zhou picked up Isabel and walked to the door. Qi Leren asked curiously, Where are you taking her?
The big blackbird gave him a side look and said in a strange tone, Go wandering at the ends of the earth.
Qi Leren looked at it silently, simply ignored it and said to Ning Zhou, Its not convenient if you et the gecko witch later while holding her. Ill do it.
Ning Zhou looked at him with a deep face, looking at him from head to toe. When Qi Leren was starting to be flustered, she handed Isabel over and motioned for him to take her. Qi Leren hurriedly stretched out his arms and tried to hold her in his arms. As a result, he regretted the weight as soon as he got started, and his arms and knees turned jelly and she fell to the ground so heavy! He couldnt hold her at all!
A soft girls body really couldnt hold another soft girl. Qi Leren accepted his fate. He was ashad to see Ning Zhou carry people on her shoulders like sacks, and no matter whether Isabel woke up with a stomachache or not, by contrast, the him who was princess-carried by the goddess probably received VIP treatnt, right?
They moved on with Isabel, who was still unconscious, and soon ca to the temple. Qi Leren proposed to go back and see if Ellie and Aisha had co back, but Ning Zhou was noncommittal.
After stepping into the temple, Qi Leren saw a line of words on the far wall. He imdiately ca forward to see that the last clue after killing the witch had already appeared.
[One of us went and ca back.]
