Chapter 296
Is face something so important?
Is integrity more important than being alive?
Admittedly, this is true for some people, but Shen Jiao is not one of them.
She hid behind the white fan in an extremely inconspicuous posture. It was not that she didn't want to hide on the other side, but there were also objects on the other side, and one of them was a familiar object.
"Hua'er, nice to see you again." Shen Jiao greeted.
Qian Huaer's eyes were dull, and she ignored her completely, muttering, "White Shan... strangle... strangle... White Shan."
It seemed that their only target was Bai Shan, but Shen Jiao had just witnessed that if she went towards them, these people would try to kill her because she was in the way.
The solution to the problem is really very simple and crude.
Shen Jiao, who was a few years older than Bai Shan, said bluntly, "Sister Bai Shan, it all depends on you."
Bai Shan: ...You rely on me, who should I rely on?
Bai Shan had a hard time fighting Wu Yong alone, and with a group of people like this, it would be difficult for him to survive.
She said coldly: "What kind of ability is it to use your numbers to bully the few?"
Wu Yong disagreed, laughing like a duck, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is a matter of life and death, not a duel. Who wants to play one-on-one with you? Besides, don't you have someone too?"
He laughed so hard that his face almost turned blue.
Obviously the person he was talking about was Shen Jiao.
Shen Jiao, who knew what was going on, said loudly, "I don't count. Don't treat me like a human being."
She added, "Don't treat me like an object. I'm not even as good as an ornament. I'm pure trash."
"Then why don't you just die?" Bai Shan's eyes flashed with ferocity as she cursed angrily. If she hadn't been distracted and couldn't turn around, she would have given Shen Jiao another fan.
Shen Jiao said innocently, "This... As the saying goes, good people live long, while evil people live for thousands of years. I am a waste, but I am a waste with a tough life!"
White Fan: ...
She felt that she was really blind, and actually thought that she had a good relationship with a spineless villain like Shen Jiao.
Wuyong chuckled, "Don't be angry, Miss Baishan. You are all grasshoppers in autumn. You can't jump for long. You will die soon. It will be the same if you go to the underworld to settle your accounts with her."
"How about you give me some time and I kill her first?"
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows.
"No big deal." Wu Yong had laughed enough and just wanted to get rid of Bai Shan as soon as possible. He waved his hand and threw the axe over.
Those objects did not move forward, but released many flying insects.
Shen Jiao used her spiritual power to protect herself, dodging attacks that could have hurt her while transmitting a secret message to Bai Shan: "Miss, do these artifacts have any weaknesses? Is there a time limit to controlling them?"
Bai Shan was too lazy to waste her energy playing that game and said bluntly, "Yes, the weakness is the King Gu. It was just swallowed by this guy. He controls them through the King Gu. If you destroy the King Gu, he won't be able to control them. Come on."
The last three words sounded so sarcastic.
Shen Jiao: "Isn't it said that the King Gu is a divine object? He swallowed the King Gu... What does that mean? Is he a divine being?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Bai Shan cursed, "If he were a god, I would have died long ago."
Bai Shan could sense it: "Your attack has become weaker."
"Well, this King Gu is indeed interesting and not so easy to suppress. If you work harder, you might be able to take my head and take back the King Gu."
There's no need to encourage him like this, it only makes him look mean.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was impossible. After just a short fight, Bai Shan had several wounds on his body, and the fans hanging around him were also tottering. It seemed that he had run out of spiritual power.
Shen Jiao, the only person who could be considered a helper, had no intention of helping at all.
Bai Shan said angrily, "Even if it's just words, you should at least go up and bite him twice. If you keep going like this, you might as well just slit your own throat and die a quick death!"
Shen Jiao: ...
"I'm not a dog. You can't argue with him, so don't scold me. I'm just trying to find a solution. You may not believe it, but I'm trying to save both of us."
"Hahaha," Bai Shan said with a fake laugh, "Then you better hurry up."
Because of her, I can't beat her!
The axe cut through the fan bones and hit Bai Shan's shoulder straight.
Amidst the flying blood and flesh, a vine suddenly emerged from the ground and tried to hit Wuyong in the face.
Naturally, he failed. He stepped back, and the vines in front of him missed him, but the ones behind him pulled off his hood.
Wuyong revealed his masked head. His hair was blue, his left ear was missing a piece, his delicate chin and his dark purple mouth were all they could see.
Shen Jiao touched his chin and said, "I heard that people with thin lips are very heartless. You look not only heartless but also vicious. No wonder you attacked so cruelly."
Wuyong: ...
"I underestimated you, damn thing."
The axe flew towards Shen Jiao, but was wrapped by dense vines that grew out of the ground.
Bai Shan took this opportunity to control the last two relatively intact fans and attacked him.
Wu Yong calmly placed his hands on the pipa strings and began to play them gently and slowly.
That voice was so loud that it shook the heavens and earth and made the gods and ghosts weep!
Shen Jiao: "...I thought your words were harsh enough."
It turns out there's something even uglier hidden.
No wonder he only swung but didn’t shoot. He just didn’t know how to do it, right?
Shen Jiao had no idea what happened next, because the sound made her feel that she was not far from death.
Perhaps because of this, the ability that she had never figured out finally took effect.
When she opened her eyes again, she was dropped into an iron cage with a half-dead Bai Shan next to her.
This has never been played...
Shen Jiao could feel a sweet and fishy taste in her throat every time she breathed.
There are still many fine scars on his body.
Wuyong coughed violently and said from below, "So you are the same."
Shen Jiao:?
Who are you talking to?
"Are you talking to me?"
"What else? Is there anyone alive here?"
Shen Jiao looked around and saw only corpses in the iron cages around him.
"You killed all these people? Why? Aren't you the one sent by City Lord Qi to take over this place? Aren't you afraid of being blamed for doing this?"
"Who told you that our master is Qi Yuanli?"
Wu Yong seemed to find this statement very interesting, and asked in a playful tone, and then said disdainfully,
"He deserves it."
This place is near Yongcheng. The people used here before were all prisoners and bad guys from Yongcheng. Building an underground lair would cause such a big commotion. It is impossible for Qi Yuanli to not know any clues. So isn't it normal for Shen Jiao to guess that their owner is Qi Yuanli?
She recalled her past conversations with Bai Shan and the others.
Did they mention the word "city lord"?
I don’t remember much. Shen Jiao’s mind is very confused at the moment.
It seems like... they have always been... talking about the master and Mother Xue?
Wu Yong said: "Oh, is it Bai Shan and the others who said that? Ahem, pitiful, after doing so many things for so many years, ahem, he doesn't even know who his master is, ahem, ahem, he is really, so stupid."
"Don't be so mean if she's seriously injured," Shen Jiao said, "She's not awake yet, she can't hear..."
