Chapter 55: Strange Snake Shadow
The knife left marks on both of Shen Xinli's wrists.
The pain in her body made the little girl on the stone platform shiver subconsciously and she sneezed three times in a row.
Several people in strange clothes couldn't help but bend down quickly.
Wait until the girl doesn't make any sound.
Then I heard a voice.
"Old Li, is it because you gave too little medicine? Did the young master hear us talking?"
A rough and dull male voice asked the person next to him.
"Perhaps! After all, the young master has the ability to resist Zui Linglong."
A crescent moon floated in the sky above the mountains, appearing and disappearing as it was covered by clouds.
The mountain breeze was blowing, and there was a little white smoke floating in the air.
Half an hour later, the moon in the sky showed a strange sign and began to fill up automatically, becoming a full moon.
The full moon shines on the stone platform.
Shining on the girl's body.
Blood trickled from both wrists.
The patterns on the stone platform emitted a strange red light under the moonlight.
The light looked faintly like the outline of a giant snake.
"Who...who is calling me?"
A distant, soul-stirring sound echoed in the cave.
"It's done..."
Several strange old men knelt down and bowed, "Greetings to the Holy Lord."
The blood-red snake shadow just glanced at the people below the stage, and they felt as if the blood in their bodies was being confined.
The snake shadow looked at the girl on the stone platform again with a loving expression.
Two blood shadows burst out from the snake's eyes and covered the girl's wrist.
There was only a series of crackling sounds, and the girl's injured wrist had recovered as normal.
The blood shadow gave a powerful pressure, "Protect her."
Then, it faded away.
"Old ghost, hurry! Hurry! Send the young master back! The young master's soul must return before the moon recovers, otherwise his life will be in danger."
The old man couldn't help but get anxious when he saw the Holy Lord fading and the full moon beginning to melt.
The old man who retreated last had a gleam in his eyes, "I'll go see the young master off."
"It's okay. I have secretly investigated those two people. It's safe for the young master to follow them. There is no need to worry."
The old voice at the beginning continued.
Afterwards, Chen Xinli was carried on someone's shoulders and returned to the team.
However, an unknown mark was planted on her body.
The hour of Chou has passed.
The mountain wind is howling.
The figure moved up and down with his familiarity with the terrain, crouching in the forest twenty feet away from the Shen family.
"Boss, are these few ugly guys worth all the trouble?"
"Idiot, is this a crooked melon or a cracked date?"
"Didn't you see the vision just now?"
The triangular-eyed man in command cursed in a low voice and gave the person asking the question a chestnut on the forehead.
Perhaps he felt that one curse was not enough, so he couldn't help but curse again.
"The Shen family must have a secret. Otherwise, why would the prince let us track them all the way here?
A masked man with a round face nearby immediately lowered his head.
Of course!
A waxing moon can become a full moon in just a quarter of an hour.
This is so fucking weird!
The group of four wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but they couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, just as the masked men were struggling, they heard a burst of rapid bird calls in the mountains.
After a few breaths, a team was seen heading quickly towards the foot of the mountain.
It was the bandits from Lishan Stronghold.
It turned out that it was Boss Han who came in person.
"Boss, why are there so many people here? What should we do?"
The round-faced man couldn't help but mutter again.
"What nonsense, of course..."
Seeing the bandits approaching the Shen family.
The triangular-eyed man could only say quietly, "Of course we can't let the Shen family fall into their hands, especially that little boy."
He pointed to Shen Xinyu who was in the middle.
"I heard that the former Minister of Revenue had a young son secretly sent away.
I have secretly checked the Shen family's household registration, and there is no information about the little boy.
We just need to follow quietly and watch his abilities unfold.
What the prince wants will naturally come to him."
"Boss is smart."
The round-faced man couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
But how could he remember that the person who was just kidnapped and came back looked like a little girl?
The round-faced man was a little confused.
But he didn't dare to disobey the boss's orders. After all, everyone knew how stupid he was, so it was better not to say too much.
Shen Fuyou fell asleep after keeping watch for a while in the second half of the night.
He didn't know what was going on either.
He felt a faint fragrance coming and fell into a deep sleep.
He was unaware of the night attack by the bandits in Lishan Village.
But Li Xiang knew.
As soon as he smelled that familiar fragrance, Li Xiang secretly bit his tongue.
Although he also fell into a coma, he woke up half an hour later.
Soon, he discovered the ghost in the dark night.
Of course, it wasn't a ghost, but a bandit.
"I am Li Xiang, the imperial bailiff. I'm passing through this place on orders to escort a prisoner. I wonder which hero is wandering here?"
Li Xiang did not choose to wait quietly, but directly embraced the title of the court.
As an experienced bailiff, he didn't want to cause any trouble.
It would be good if conflicts could be minimized.
Besides, there were only two of them, so there was really no need to go head-to-head.
When Mr. Han heard that he had been discovered, he stopped trying to hide his true intentions and just laughed wildly.
