“After we disembarked, some of us were dabbed with a certain milk-white liquid, which made the toxic insects stay away from us. But the amount was limited. In addition to them, only five of us who have reached the level of Transforming-strength, were coated with the liquid. Almost half of the rest died in the forest, but the five of us survived.”
It was not until then that Xiao Bing realized that the skeletons he saw on his way here must have been that of his companions.
Xiao Bing asked, “Why did they capture you? What was their purpose and where is the rest of the group?”
“Mountain top. You should jump from the cliff…”
“Jump?” The man’s words sent cold fingers down Xiao Bing’s spine. “Doesn’t that mean certain death?”
“They will survive death.”
“What do you mean by that? What’s in that cliff? Why did they take you there?”
“Blood… Snake… Tonics. We are not tonics! We are humans!!!”
Zhen Qiao suddenly cried out, quivering all over. Xiao Bing did not know what to do. He wanted to probe for more, but this man was already at the verge of insanity. Xiao Bing surmised that this information would be all that he could get.
When Xiao Bing was about to speak, Zhen Qiao stopped crying. His body stiffened and he fell to the ground.
Zhen Qiao had died.
Xiao Bing stood up and his face stern. According to Zhen Qiao’s words, they had been taken by Feng XIII and his men. And they were all covered with a certain cream that repelled the insects.
But what did he want from them? It seemed to have something to do with tonics, according to Zhen Qiao’s words.
Xiao Bing had taken a look at the cliff. It was deep and bottomless. Even he could not clearly see the bottom, yet Zhen Qiao had asked him to jump from the cliff. The fall would definitely kill him, even though he was at the Void-breaking level. Besides he did not know if Zhen Qiao had said it, due to his state of madness.
Normally, when Xiao Bing controlled one’s mind temporarily, the person would only tell the truth. But this concerned his life. It never hurt to be extra careful.
Xiao Bing decided to put this aside first. He dug a pit with his knife, and buried this man, since he was a soldier from the Cathaysian State. Xiao Bing would not allow this man to rot in the wild.
Then Xiao Bing filled the pit and stepped on it, to even out the soil. He murmured to himself as he looked at the earth beneath his feet, “Zhen Qiao, that’s all I can do for you. May your soul rest in peace. I promise you that I’ll avenge you, as long as it does not affect my mission.”
Xiao Bing sighed and resumed searching in the forest. But no clues could be found afterward. As it was getting dark, Xiao Bing began returning to the top. But he found another drop of blood on his way back. He did nothing, but watch. Soon after, he saw another centipede approaching it and licking the blood. Xiao Bing watched it intently.
As expected, the centipede’s body began expanding. Later it fell from the branch, as it had become five times bigger. But then it wriggled like a snake. But the moment it reached the branch, it suddenly exploded.
It was that man’s blood.
Xiao Bing took a deep breath. He stared at the front, with a complicated look in his eyes. He found himself at the mountainside.
This meant that Feng XIII indeed did bring that man to the mountain top!
But did they really jump from the cliff?
Xiao Bing came to the top again, worries churning in his mind. He walked to the edge of the cliff, and cast a glance at the bottomless void down there. “Damn, I feel so dizzy…”
“Did they really jump from this cliff? Joint suicide? But why was Zhen Qiao lying there?”
“Damn!”
Xiao Bing cast another glance at it. “Am I supposed to jump off the cliff? How’s that even possible?”
Then Xiao Bing lay down. It seemed that he had to sleep under the sky for another night. If he could not find any clues within the next two days, he would return, which meant he had failed in this mission.
He then decided to go to the sea tomorrow, to check out the ship. It was impossible for others to start it since he was holding the key. However, they might destroy it, which would make it hard to Xiao Bing to leave the place.
Before he fell asleep, he heard some movements. Xiao Bing lurched to his feet and hid in the bushes nearby, as quickly as a rabbit. Then he lay down on his stomach.
Xiao Bing had worried that no one would come here, because if there was no one here, that meant there would be no clues.
Soon, Xiao Bing saw a man and a woman coming out of the woods. The man’s hair was long and his left eye was covered by his bangs. But his head was square-shaped, not very angular, but still seemed very odd.
But the female seemed to be a very beautiful woman with bewitching eyes, red lips, an oval face and a high nose. Her body was perfectly-shaped, especially her slim waist. One would burn with lust once he took a look at her.
Yet, she could not be compared to Princess Nami, the most beautiful woman in R country. But this woman was sexier than any other woman he had ever seen. She even reminded him of the enchantress who seduced men for the sake of their cultivation.
If it were not for Xiao Bing’s calm state of mind, he would have had a bulge between his legs. But he still felt a rising desire.
The two walked over to the edge of the cliff. The woman licked her lips, which almost made Xiao Bing’s nose bleed. He found it harder and harder to overcome his burning desire.
Then the man cast a wary look at the bush where Xiao Bing was hiding. Xiao Bing held his breath. “Damn! Did he just spot me? But that’s impossible!”
Xiao Bing knew that these two were far less powerful than him. He surmised that these two were at the early or the middle stage of Gang-strength, which meant that Xiao Bing could kill them easily. But he did not believe that they knew he was hiding behind the bush.
Xiao Bing held his breath. The sexy woman looked at the square-faced man and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The man frowned. “I smell something.” He said coldly.
“What smell?”
“Human blood.”
It was not until then that Xiao Bing realized that it was because of the blood on his nose. He wondered if this man had the nose of a dog.
Obviously the woman trusted this man’s nose. She exchanged a look with the man and walked toward the bush.
Several thoughts flashed through Xiao Bing’s mind. The first was to plunge toward them and take these two down. Then he would force them to reveal their true identities and if they knew Feng XIII. Xiao Bing thought it was highly possible that these two worked for Feng XIII. Otherwise they would not be standing here with such ease.
But Xiao Bing cast this thought away instantly. He chose the second idea: To meet one ruse with another.
Xiao Bing began trembling as the two approached, which startled them immediately. They paused and the man spoke in a cold voice, “Show you.”
Then Xiao Bing scrambled out of the bush, unmasked. After all, Feng XIII had seen that face. But perhaps he had not seen this face yet. It was a gamble. If Feng XIII did not know what he really looked like, Xiao Bing would have the upper hand, when he encountered this man.
The two sighed when they saw Xiao Bing scrambling to his feet. When Xiao Bing raised his head to look at them, the sexy woman cast a glance at him with her lustful eyes. Then she licked her lips. The gesture was so seductive that Xiao Bing was taken aback. He felt his legs getting weak and then he slumped on the ground, his nose bleeding. Staring at the woman, he cried in delight, “You’re my goddess!”
