Chapter 139 The Unexpected Bai Xiaoqin
The little girl rubbed her aching head, and suddenly stopped. The tragic scene around her came into her eyes, and fear appeared on the girl's face.
When he looked up, he saw a man covered in blood, with a red devil mask on his face and a long sword stuck in his arm. He was like a devil walking slowly towards him.
He screamed in fear, then fell back and fainted!
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu slowly stretched out his right hand, wanting to grab the little girl's head, with crazy murderous intent revealed in his dark eyes.
This is because his consciousness has been affected by too much ancient evil spiritual energy.
“Bang!”
Zhou Zhilu suddenly slapped himself, trying hard to control the madness in his heart. He half-knelt on the ground, holding his clothes tightly with his right hand, fearing that if he let go, he would crush the little girl's head.
Immediately, his eyes turned fierce, he grabbed the hilt of the long sword that was stuck on his left arm, gritted his teeth and pulled the sword out!
The pain that penetrated deep into his bones caused Zhou Zhilu to fall to the ground instantly. He covered his left arm and trembled all over. The severe pain even made it difficult for him to scream.
After a while, Zhou Zhilu finally recovered, and the pain successfully suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and his dark pupils gradually returned to normal.
Zhou Zhilu lay powerlessly on the ground, turned his head to look at the fainted little girl, and then he recognized that this girl was the girl he had seen at the Bai family before!
How could she be here? The gift these Bai family masters risked their lives to give was her?
Could it be that... the poisonous holy body cultivated by the Bai family is her?!
Questions kept popping up in Zhou Zhilu's mind.
At this moment, shouting suddenly came from the jungle.
"Red Devil! Wood Vine! Knife Boy! Where are you?"
It’s the captain!
Zhou Zhilu recognized the voice as that of Captain Mu Yan, while Mu Teng and Daozi were the code names of the deceased Gu tribe member and an Anbu member.
Just as he was about to shout, Zhou Zhilu suddenly looked at the girl next to him.
If the box contains precious poisonous insects, elixirs or treasures, it is easy to deal with. The Anbu or the Gu tribe can pay a certain amount of compensation to the other party and then take it for themselves.
But the little girl in front of him was most likely the bearer of the Holy Poison Body. The Anbu would never return her to the Gu Clan, otherwise it would be sending the ninth level to future enemies.
However, the Gu tribe would never give up this holy body that is rarely seen in a thousand years.
In order to facilitate their work, the team is a mix of Anbu and Gu tribe members. If the others in the team see them, the team, which was originally a single camp, will probably fall apart in an instant!
"No! We can't let anyone in the team see the girl now!"
Zhou Zhilu muttered to himself, stood up with great effort, picked up the little girl on the ground and ran in the opposite direction of the team.
Not long after Zhou Zhilu left, Mu Yan led his men through the bushes and arrived at the battlefield.
Looking at the mess on the field and the bodies of several teammates lying on the ground, Mu Yan's face darkened.
After counting, they found that all five bodies of the Bai family were on the ground, but Zhou Zhilu was the only one missing from their side.
The broken wooden box on the ground was empty at this moment, and Mu Yan's expression suddenly became subtle.
The person next to him looked at Mu Yan and asked hesitantly, "Did he meet someone else again?"
Mu Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "There are two possibilities. One is that other members of the Bai family are chasing us, and the red ghost escaped with the things in the wooden box.
"Second, the red devil defected and took away the things in the wooden box."
However, Mu Yan knew that there was a third possibility, that is, the things in the wooden box were very important and could not be seen by himself and others, or to put it more precisely, they could not be seen by the people of the Gu tribe!
However, Mu Yan could not say this speculation out loud. From his personal point of view, he was more inclined to the third option. The first option was very unlikely as he and others did not find any traces of other members of the Bai family during the period of pursuit.
As for the second possibility, Mu Yan knew Zhou Zhilu's true identity under the red ghost mask. In his opinion, there was really no need for the other party to give up his bright future for a treasure.
After eliminating all the above, the third guess is the most likely one. After all, the cooperation with the Gu tribe is only a short-term cooperation for the benefit of each party.
"Spread out and look for the whereabouts of the red ghost." Mu Yan instructed.
Then he walked slowly forward, and with a subtle touch of his right foot, he wiped away the footprints on the ground.
…
Speaking of Zhou Zhilu, he took the unconscious little girl and temporarily hid in a cave.
Just when he was about to collapse, he used up his last bit of strength to seal the cave exit and the little girl's body, and then fainted.
The sky outside the cave gradually turned deep blue, and the jungle gradually became silent.
Zhou Zhilu slowly woke up, and as soon as he subconsciously raised his arm, the severe pain made him wake up instantly.
Suddenly Zhou Zhilu was startled to see that a fire had been burning in the cave at some point in time, with a few pieces of firewood scattered around. It was obvious that the person who built it had no experience in making fire.
But the small flame was enough to illuminate the small cave.
Zhou Zhilu touched his face with his right hand and found that the red ghost mask on his face had also been taken off and put aside.
He immediately looked around, but couldn't find the little girl. Zhou Zhilu's face suddenly became ugly.
I clearly sealed her body with my spiritual energy, how could I have let her escape?! I shouldn't have fainted!
