It was midnight at the hill outside of the city.
At this moment, there was only the sound of the mountain creek, the wind, and Xiang Liu’s footsteps… And the sound of something being dragged.
Xiang Liu slowly walked into a secret cave— where a large number of incantations was written.
Of course, these should be golden in color, but now they were all dull, as if they would fade away at any time.
This was the first seal.
But obviously, there was another man wearing a casual suit with a loser’s face.
He was about thirty years old, with sparse stubble, and black hair randomly tied up behind.
He was sitting on a wall, holding a long and cloth-wrapped thing in his arms… It seemed to be a stick or something.
Hearing the footsteps, he slightly opened his eyes. He was not afraid of Xiang Liu, even if he saw two monsters being held in Xiang Liu’s two hands.
The two monsters looked very weak, but not dead.
The man lightly said, “I’ve told you not to walk around. This seal is about to be eroded.”
Xiang Liu threw the monsters away and sat down, tearing out one monster’ arm— the arm was broken and bloody.
Biting and chewing the arm, Xiang Liu said, “I’m hungry.”
The man lightly said, “I mean, don’t provoke that woman monster. I wish no mistakes to arise at all.”
Xiang Liu narrowed his eyes and said, “Oh? Hasn’t Su Zijun’s body been pierced by you? Now, don’t you have confidence in yourself? Last time someone gave her a hand in the dark… Su Zijun escaped. Was there any problem with me following to attack?”
The man calmly said, “As you said, someone gave the princess a hand in the dark and now we still don’t know who he is.”
Xiang Liu didn’t care about that and he said, “Wasn’t it you who attacked him while he helped Su Zijun? We don’t know who he is now, but if he was strong enough, there was no need for him to hide. Maybe he died from your attack.”
The man lightly said, “Nothing is impossible. I would never easily judge the death of enemies unless I see it with my own eyes. Besides, including the monster princess you’ve said, we’ve met two other enemies at least… Or three. Xiang Liu, are you hurt?”
Xiang Liu was biting the arm of the monster, saying nothing.
Before he was expelled, he never had a fight with Sun Xiaosheng… And he never dreamed that he would have a real fight with him in this city.
But it was a fact that he lost… The unknown monkey seemed to be more difficult to deal with than what he knew.
Xiang Liu was vengeful, even if it was just due to a hatred in his heart…
After swallowing the whole arm, he looked at the man and said, “Kuck, isn’t it because your men that this thing was delayed? If enough men came, why should we wait till now?”
The man… Kuck calmly said, “I have said that the club just commanded us to temporarily lurk and stop all actions, so the reinforcements would not come in a short time. And now, if you hadn’t taken private actions, we could have been more careful.”
Liu Xiu suddenly sneered, “Kept waiting? Are you kidding me? Why did Long Xiruo leave? I don’t want to know! But it’s absolutely the best time! You really don’t know the horror of Long Xiruo at all!”
“The club records say that she is the true dragon of the Divine Land, don’t get into a fight with her.” Kuck lightly said, “I won’t look down on any enemy, but I will try to see if my spear can run through her!”
“I hope you won’t be torn by her claws first.” Xiang Liu gave a cold laugh.
Kuck closed his eyes.
But before this he said, “Xiang Liu, the club is very dissatisfied with your private actions. You’ve got enough from the club… If you fail this time, the club told me that they will get back what they invested in you.”
Xiang Liu squinted at Kuck and suddenly asked, “What is your club afraid of? Why did you back off overnight, even stopping so many activities?”
Kuck didn’t open his eyes and said nothing.
Naturally, Xiang Liu did not get the answer.
He could only continue to eat the rest of the monster’s body.
The incantations on the rock walls of the cave were getting dim.
Soon after, Xiang Liu threw the remaining of two monsters’ body into a hole of the cave.
Something seemed to be there… and was crawling slowly.
Xiang Liu squinted, sizing up, and sneered, “This skill of the club is really good… Grow up quickly.”
In the pit, there were dozens of bright points… like eyes.
With the light emanating from the incantations of the cave, some of the dark and sticky liquid could be vaguely seen.
They filled the pit.
And in the middle of the liquid, there was a huge meat-like ball… and lots of strange parts were on it.
Hands, feet, and horns… and different faces.
A great many of them.
…
…
Was I… too nosy?
Lizi who was hiding under a big tree of the hill looked at the not-very-round moon… She didn’t know how far it was from here to the urban area.
However, even if she knew, she didn’t have the strength to get there.
Lizi subconsciously looked at her chest—there was an unhealed wound, which could gradually take away her life.
How could this be?
All because when she was playing in the Elysium Bar, she followed a Mouse Monster out of curiosity as she saw a Mouse Monster talking with the bartender… However, she lost the mouse there.
She hadn’t seen anything for a long time but met two terrifying guys fighting.
“I was really too nosy!” Lizi sighed, she just gave a hand because she hated to see people being ambushed.
But as a result, she was badly hurt. The woman she rescued just ran away without saying anything… Was there something wrong with the script?
Shouldn’t the woman leave for a while but quietly come back with great gratitude to help her to heal the wound?
“I really don’t want to die in this dress…”
Lizi looked at her hot pants and vest… What the hell.
This death scene was somewhat different from her imagination.
She hoped that one day she would die in a white dress, in a gentle snowy day, perhaps in the daytime, or in the evening; quietly laying in the snow and going away after seeing the world one last time.
“Come on, that’s it…”
She had no family.
No partners.
She was always alone.
It seemed that it was a good choice to go away quietly in such an unknown place, where no one would find her later.
“Just take it as me taking a never ending vacation…” Lizi slowly closed her eyes, “Anyway… Soon… Forget.”
She felt the coldness.
This was the second cold time that she had felt it.
It was cold when someone died.
Suddenly she felt the extreme cold, but at that moment, she seemed to turn warm… the warmth of consciousness, not her body.
Because she knew that her body would never be warm at all— what ordinary people felt was just an illusion.
But she still felt something very different from the cold… Since it was different, then was it warmth?
And it had a faint aroma, which seemed to be a familiar scent.
How comfortable…
…
“I don’t want to hear someone complain they being tired after they come home and complain about running away from home again…”
Was there someone… talking?
