123: This time, I want your right eye!
For some unknown reason, the Snake Woman felt a chill in her heart the moment she saw Song Zhong’s smile.
He had smiled like that when he dug out his own eyes in the underground cave that day.
“Go!” The Snake Woman steeled herself and walked away into the distance, with Song Zhong following closely behind.
“Want to leave?”
A fierce wind raged around Master Chen’s carriage, followed by a sudden change in the weather, and the surrounding scenery transformed.
Yue Huai took a step forward, blocking Master Chen.
The surrounding city receded, mountains sank into the ground, and the originally lush environment was instantly covered by yellow sand.
Countless battle cries came from all around, and from within the yellow sand, the neighing of ten thousand horses and the clashing of weapons could be heard.
“Haha, what a grand gesture, to use a Mental Landscape to drag us into an ancient battlefield.”
Yue Huai showed no panic, a destructive power gathered behind him.
“Too bad, as long as I break a corner of your Mental Landscape, you won’t be able to stop us.”
Roar!
The destructive aura behind Yue Huai transformed into a fierce beast, instantly devouring the vast army in the yellow sand, and a crack appeared in the sky.
“Eh? How did it break so easily?”
The scenery around Yue Huai immediately returned to its original state, but Master Chen’s carriage had long since vanished.
“Ran away? Tsk, scholars have so many tricks up their sleeves.”
Yue Huai looked at Cangnan City in the distance, a strange smile appearing on his face, “This time, I want to see if the Great Xia’s Divine Power is still there.”
At this moment, Master Chen and the attendant had returned to Cangnan City. As the carriage traveled on the street, the attendant was a bit worried.
“Master, what if that Yue Huai comes to kill us?”
“What to do? We’ll adapt as needed. I hope that Lu Wuwei fellow can be a bit faster. This old bone of mine can’t hold on for too long.”
Master Chen’s retreat was also out of necessity. Now Loki had entered Great Xia territory, and Yue Huai, this human ceiling, was also lurking nearby.
Who knew if they had prepared any backup plans with so many enemies.
Master Chen was indeed under immense pressure. In this situation, he could only choose to return to Cangnan first, find Lin Qi Ye, and temporarily protect him.
Ye Fan had also conveyed the same order to Master Chen.
…
“Hey, are we just leaving like this?” Song Zhong asked, looking at the Snake Woman’s swaying figure.
If given a choice, the Snake Woman didn’t want to be with this guy at all, “I dare not disobey Lord Yue Huai’s command, but if you want to go to your death, I won’t stop you.”
“Hehe, you speak so unpleasantly, but I like it.” Song Zhong licked his lips, “We’re colleagues now, so let’s get along well.”
The Snake Woman’s heart inexplicably pounded faster. She felt as if she had been entangled by a venomous snake.
“You are now a noble New God candidate, I am not qualified to be your colleague.” The Snake Woman turned her head, looking at Song Zhong warily. She didn’t know what this guy was planning.
“From what you’re saying, it sounds like you really want me to die, doesn’t it?” Song Zhong still had that smiling expression.
The Snake Woman suppressed the anger in her heart, “I wouldn’t dare! I will do my best to ensure your safety.”
“Good, you said it. Then do one more thing for me!”
Song Zhong stepped in front of the Snake Woman and grabbed her by the neck.
“Cough, cough, Song Zhong, what are you doing?” The Snake Woman’s face turned red, this scene seemed somewhat familiar.
“This time, I want your right eye!”
“Ah! Song Zhong, how dare you?!” The Snake Woman’s shriek echoed through the valley, “You can’t do something so excessive!”
“Excessive? You also said it, I’m a New God candidate, right? Doing something excessive, isn’t that normal?”
“No, please don’t!”
Medusa’s Divine Power was concentrated in the Snake Woman’s eyes. If her right eye was also gone, she would be no different from an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, the Snake Woman’s desperate pleas were useless.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be quick!”
Song Zhong extended two fingers and gently extracted the Snake Woman’s right eye from its warm dwelling.
“Ah…”
Mud-like blood flowed from the Snake Woman’s eye socket. She desperately spread her Mental Energy, but received no response from Medusa.
“Song Zhong, I hate you!” The Snake Woman roared, her limbs desperately attacking Song Zhong.
But they couldn’t cause him any harm at all.
The Snake Woman’s nails broke, and she was covered in blood.
“I will Curse you, Song Zhong, you will die a terrible death!”
Facing the Snake Woman’s malicious Curse, Song Zhong smiled, “Yes, that’s it, feel helpless, feel fear, and hate me like this, forever and without end!”
“Snake Woman, you *****!” Song Zhong used his finger to lift her chin.
“Tsk tsk, what a pity, you can’t see how happy I am right now, and how pathetic you are!”
The Snake Woman’s mind almost collapsed. A hint of a smile actually appeared on her face, which, combined with the mud-like blood on her face, looked extremely terrifying.
“Hahaha, you devil, I won’t let you go even in death!”
“Not bad, not bad,” Song Zhong nodded in satisfaction, “What a good Materials! Don’t worry, after you die, I will obliterate your Soul.”
Hearing Song Zhong’s words, the smile on the Snake Woman’s face turned back into venomous resentment, “Devil, you are a devil!”
Soon, the Snake Woman could no longer speak. Song Zhong broke her neck.
“Phew! The long-awaited sacrifice has begun.”
Song Zhong took out a blood collection needle and skillfully drew his own blood.
He dripped that blood bead onto the amber-like eyeball.
A light red mist appeared around Song Zhong. The Snake Woman’s right eye rapidly disappeared, like a candle burning quickly.
[Congratulations to the Host for sacrificing the strengthened right eye, gaining 300 sacrifice value!]
[Current sacrifice value: 376]
“Only 376?” Song Zhong looked at the remaining sacrifice value on the System, “It seems I still need to do some more missions.”
Now he had completed the second draw of the nine bronze coffins and could perform the third draw.
However, completing one third draw required 500 sacrifice value, which was a large expense.
As for now, he had to first refine the Snake Woman into a zombie.
Inside Cangnan City, after Wu Xiangnan and Hong Ying and the others rushed back to the Peacekeeping Bureau, they were shocked by the sight before them.
Inside the Bureau, besides the dead Calamity Raven, there was nothing left.
“Xiaonan!” Leng Xuan immediately panicked.
Wu Xiangnan scanned the Bureau but found no signs of a struggle.
“Strange, what exactly happened here?” Warm Qi Ink said.
“No!” Leng Xuan turned to leave, “I’m going to find Xiaonan.”
“Wait,” Wu Xiangnan quickly stopped him, “The situation is not right. We should first meet up with the captain and the others to discuss a countermeasure together.”
Warm Qi Ink quickly pulled Leng Xuan back. Although Leng Xuan was worried about Si Xiaonan’s safety, he still calmed down.
Wu Xiangnan led everyone and immediately returned to the Soul Bar.
