The moving syllables that escaped from Gu Qiqi’s lips were not the language of the empire, nor was it the language of Country M or Country S.
It sounded like a spell, but more like a chant.
The clear and pleasant syllables seemed to have substance as they drifted through the air.
The little packrat was mesmerized by her words. It couldn’t help but poke its head out from behind Gu Qiqi. “Big Sister, it sounds so good…”
Kun Bu sneered. “A child’s trick! What’s to be afraid of?”
His gaze became even more ruthless. His eagle claws were swift and fierce as he headed straight for Gu Qiqi’s face!
Gu Qiqi didn’t even blink. This time, she couldn’t even be bothered to move.
She just stood there calmly, calmly chanting notes that no one understood.
It didn’t seem to have any offensive power.
However, in an instant, Kun Bu’s rapid attacks slowed down!
Kun Bu’s ruthlessness, which was clearly a sure hit, actually became slow motion like an old lady scratching an itch. It actually looked a little ridiculous.
He winced.
Then, he puffed up her cheeks and exerted more strength.
However, the feeling of stagnation intensified.
It was as if there were countless arms pulling at his claws in midair, making it impossible for him to move forward at all.
What happened?
Kun Bu looked around in horror.
But there was nothing, except air.
In the dim light, there was only his own shadow and the inconspicuous “little bug” in the corner that looked like a turtle. At some point, it had changed from gold to light green!
The little dirty turtle’s subtle change did not make Kun Bu pay attention for a second longer.
Soon, he looked elsewhere and continued to search for the culprit who had stopped him from using his power. “You found help? Someone sent by Gong Jue?”
As he questioned, he answered his own question. “That’s impossible! I’ve long transferred Gong Jue to the Hanbei Ridge. It’s thousands of miles away from here, and it takes half a day to fly back and forth. By the time he returns, you’ll have already been skinned and thrown into the glass cover of the specimen for exhibition! It’s absolutely impossible for Gong Jue to come and save you! Tell me, what are you doing?!”
Gu Qiqi ignored him and continued chanting.
Her voice was becoming more practiced, elegant, rhythmic.
Her calm voice became more and more agitated and sharp!
As her voice changed, Kun Bu immediately felt the difference.
The invisible forces that were pulling him also became ferocious.
Not only was his eagle claws unable to be used, but they were also forcefully twisted in midair!
“Ah!”
A tragic cry rang out.
One of his little fingers was actually broken!
However, there was nothing in the air. There were no enemies or weapons touching him. His finger was broken!
However, the pain was real, and so was the attack.
What was going on? Had he really seen… a ghost?
Kun Bu’s hair stood on end, and cold sweat began to break out on the back of his neck.
As Gu Qiqi’s chanting changed, Kun Bu’s fingers broke one after another. He was like a pitiful broken doll, accepting its master’s judgment without any ability to resist.
“You… What the hell did you summon… Gu Qiqi, are you a human or a ghost?” Kun Bu began to retreat in fear.
A wise man submits to circumstances. He wanted to escape.
It didn’t matter if he couldn’t kill Gu Qiqi today. As long as there was life, there was hope. It would be fine if he made a comeback next time!
However, in the next second, he tripped!
He fell forward with a flop!
Gu Qiqi stopped chanting.
He was delighted. He thought that Gu Qiqi had finally used up her strange attack and wanted to take the opportunity to get up.
