193: Chapter 193: The Black Cat's Blessing (Thirty-Four)

"You know~"

"Sometimes, death is actually a form of relief."

Qian Ye's eerie tone rang in the old man's ear.

The red singer, which had just been retrieved, appeared in her hand, a cold chill glinting in Qian Ye's eyes.

The old man felt an icy breath approach his ear.

In an instant, he recalled the bone-chilling sensation of that umbrella entering his body earlier.

"No..."

"The Endless Abyss is coming. If the sacrifice fails, it will eventually descend."

"You, they, we... none of us will survive, hahahaha..."

"Hahahaha..."

By the end, the old man had gone completely mad.

"Retribution!"

"Retribution... ah!"

Qian Ye quickly backed away, only to see the old man's skin turn into a stone statue inch by inch right before her eyes.

Finally, he stared wide-eyed at the mid-air.

Seeing the old man solidify into a stone statue before them, Tai You felt even more panicked.

"Bi-big shot..."

"This..."

Whimper, the petrification had already almost spread to his chest.

If the heart also turned solid, then they would truly be beyond saving.

Qian Ye focused her mind.

The next moment, her wrist flicked slightly.

Wisps of red thread began to appear, winding around her arm bit by bit.

"Go."

Those red threads seemed to be endowed with life, flying towards Tai You and the others.

Finally, they coiled into a circle around their chests.

A red light flashed, and the petrification on their bodies receded bit by bit.

"Great, we're saved."

Tai You patted his body and rubbed his face. Hehe, he was back to normal.

"As expected of a big shot!"

Tai You looked at Qian Ye with eyes full of admiration.

"Don't celebrate too early."

Hearing Qian Ye's words, Tai You looked down and saw the red light flickering faintly on his chest.

"These threads only give you twenty-four hours of mobility. Within twenty-four hours, you must find the antidote."

"Otherwise, you're all going to die~"

Tai You: "..."

He could sense the excitement in her tone.

...

North Barren Mountain.

Qian Ye tossed down the stone statue in her hand. "Phew, that was actually quite tiring."

It was pitch black ahead, barren and empty.

Tai You didn't know why the big shot had come here.

And why she had gone to the trouble of bringing the old man's stone statue along.

"Huh, that shouldn't be right. It should be here." Qian Ye rested her chin on her hand, staring at the stone statue. It was upon reaching this spot that the statue had started to grow hot.

Tai You looked around, his eyes narrowing.

The aura here seemed identical to the barren forest they had discovered after leaving the mansion.

Thinking of those stone statues...

There was some connection here.

Crack, crack...

Crack...

The sound of stepping on dry branches.

"Meow~"

In the dark night, pairs of eyes were watching them.

"Meow~"

The sound drew closer and closer.

"Damn it, so many eyes. My trypophobia is about to act up."

Meng Yu looked at the eyes that kept appearing, which were particularly prominent in the dark night.

They were densely packed, making her feel nauseous just looking at them.

Meng Yu clenched her fists, her hands emitting a faint, shimmering light. She occasionally wiped her eyes with her other hand, prepared for battle.

"Wu Ying."

"Hey, Blue Shadow, you..."

Before Tai You could finish calling out, Blue Shadow had already charged into the dark night.

Like a phantom, he wove through the darkness.

Qian Ye didn't move. Watching Blue Shadow, who was hidden in the darkness like a shadow, his skill was like an assassin's.

Without emitting a single trace of aura from his body, he appeared silently; wherever he passed, a life was sure to be taken.

Qian Ye's eyes lit up as she watched. "Heehee, turns out he's a ruthless person of few words."
