Chapter 23: Shameful Transaction
Chapter 23: Shameful Transaction
While swimming towards the destination, Chu Cheng'an also figured out that they were going to kill Yan Qing. Although Yan Qing was once his teammate and he was the one who approached her first in the real world, if he had to choose only one between her and Lu Zhenqiu to survive, he would choose Lu Zhenqiu without hesitation.
He is really not a male Bodhisattva or a holy father. If you want to blame someone, just blame the system.
They didn't dive very deep, and Chu Chengan was able to come up several times to breathe fresh air, but was then knocked down by the fireball again.
Finally, after an hour, they arrived to the west, where there was something like a barrier.
The passage of humans and other creatures does not constitute an impact.
That is, the rain of fire could not come down and destroy the small house built by the sea witch on the isolated island in the middle of the sea.
What kind of ability is this?
Chu Chengan felt uneasy for a second. This sea witch was definitely not simple and would be difficult to deal with. If even the rain of fire from the system couldn't restrict her movements...
Lu Zhenqiu pulled him back from his reverie and spoke to him with his eyes: Why don’t you go in and take a look first?
Yes! Chu Chengan also had this idea. What's the big deal about standing at someone's door? Besides, being timid is not his character.
As they passed through several paths and were about to approach the small house, Chu Cheng'an felt that the flying knife tied to his body with a cloth strip was ready to move. He immediately threw the flying knife to the ground. If someone controlled the knife to cut a big gash on his body, it would be a disaster.
He remembered that the owner of this flying knife was...
Sure enough, the next second the flying knife flew towards the back of the cabin.
Two exquisitely dressed women walked out of the yard behind the house, one of them happened to be Yan Qing, the owner of the knife. At this moment, she was wearing the same heavy-duty dress as the sea witch beside her. It was obvious that her movements were very clumsy, but the two people did not seem to be affected at all.
Chu Cheng'an was a person who had read a lot of fairy tale picture books. He recognized at a glance that this was the costume worn by a medieval witch. In general fairy tales, evil witches who were to be burned to death in the end would wear this costume to deceive humans and trick human children into doing things for them.
It's really abominable.
Yan Qing was also extremely angry when she saw Chu Chengan and Lu Zhenqiu coming.
She was stabbed in the neck mercilessly.
"You two bastards...!"
ah?
Chu Chengan was stunned after hearing this. Why did this insult sound so strange? It seemed a bit like...
Of course Lu Zhenqiu couldn't speak now. Chu Chengan represented both sides, and he couldn't just accept being scolded like that.
"How can a girl curse at someone? Why can't you just talk nicely?"
Yan Qing laughed in anger: "Girls? We are in a life-and-death game, and you still mention girls? Isn't that sexist? Well, then I will tell you, I hate men the most, I will kill all of you men!"
At this moment, Yan Qing no longer had the demeanor and bearing that Chu Cheng'an had when he first met her. The expression on her face and the anger in her eyes made her look like a mad woman who had been abused by a man.
The look makes people stay away.
The Sea Witch watched them laughing from the sidelines and seemed unwilling to intervene to help Yan Qing.
She looked about the same age as them.
Chu Chengan didn’t know whether this witch was an NPC created by the system or something else. Could she understand such complex emotions?
…
Yan Qing held the flying knife in her hand. The first person she chose to chop was Chu Cheng'an? It turned out that she hated her teammate who betrayed her more than the little mermaid who killed her?
Actually, it can’t be called betrayal. The person Chu Cheng’an first met was Lu Zhenqiu, and he had a better relationship with him…
He is just as he says, he is not the Father and he does not want to be the Father.
Even though he felt a tiny bit of guilt in his heart, he gave in to Yan Qing first, which was considered as giving it back to her completely.
The next second, he leaned over and pulled out his long sword from behind him, then kicked the weapon out of Yan Qing's hand with a raised leg. The long sword in his hand pointed directly at her forehead. He looked like an ancient hero. If he wasn't naked...
Yan Qing knew she couldn't beat him, so she started to wipe away her tears: "We are from the same sports college. You said you were a physical training major, and I was a national sports major. You even met me when you were getting food in the cafeteria...but now you want to kill me!"
"..." Chu Chengan was indifferent. Did he say that? He couldn't remember.
Suddenly, Lu Zhenqiu rushed up from behind and grabbed the flying knife that was about to stab Chu Chengan's neck. Because Lu Zhenqiu had been silenced, even though his hand was scratched and bleeding by the sharp knife, he could not even make a sound.
It turned out that Yan Qing took advantage of the moment she was talking...
Chu Cheng'an quickly turned around and kicked the knife farther away, then he grabbed Lu Zhenqiu's injured right hand to see how seriously he was injured.
By the way, he burned his left hand in the first level of the game, and now in this level, he injured his right hand again while trying to grab the knife.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to repay Chu Chengan's debt to him...
Fortunately, the examination showed that it was only a flesh wound. If there is no infection, it will heal quickly...
But at this time, the Sea Witch threw a medicine bottle in their direction, and Chu Chengan was so scared that he immediately wanted to take his coat and cover Lu Zhenqiu's head to protect him from being hurt again.
When I tried to undress, I found myself naked...
Chu Chengan had a look of deep regret, but he couldn't look back and regret the past. The current situation didn't allow him to be distracted any longer.
The medicine bottle smashed on the ground and shattered immediately. The green liquid escaped and evaporated into gas. Because it was raining fire outside, it might be due to the air flow. Why did Chu Chengan always feel that this green gas was always going up to his head? What on earth was this?
Poison gas?
Chu Cheng'an then covered Lu Zhenqiu's mouth and nose with his hands and held his breath with him.
But that thing has no smell, and the Sea Witch and Yan Qing didn't take any protective measures...
Fortunately, it wasn't toxic gas or something. The green gas flowed too fast. Chu Cheng'an just felt a little tired physically, and he could hardly feel anything else. He had exercised quite a bit before, so it was time for him to be tired.
The sea witch said: "Don't be nervous, this is just a small gift for you."
Chu Chengan thought: This NPC is so annoying, and he speaks so slowly, what is he wasting time on?
But before you are absolutely sure of defeating the sea witch, don't attack her first. Lu Zhenqiu's mission is to defeat Yan Qing, and the sea witch is not among their targets. Don't make the game more difficult for yourself...
Chu Chengan breathed as little as possible. He didn't want his body to absorb too much of the drug before the green smoke completely dissipated here...
But Yan Qing still comes to make trouble. She doesn't need to be afraid of any medicine. Her way of fighting does not require her to put in any effort.
Her weapon was originally designed for long-range attacks, so she didn't need to come over and put herself in danger.
The little flying knife was about to shoot towards them again.
Chu Chengan gave up covering his nose and kicked the knife away again. This time he finally couldn't bear it anymore and didn't need to endure it anymore.
He quickly ran to the bottom of the sea witch's hut, jumped up, reached out and removed a large tile from the eaves of the house.
There was a loud noise coming from the house, as if in protest.
The shape of the whole house was instantly imperfect, just like a beautiful medieval cottage that stood alone on the island, but suddenly the roof was scratched and a corner was missing.
The sea witch was so angry that her face was distorted. This was the place where she lay down to catch salted fish!
Chu Cheng'an quickly ran back to Lu Zhenqiu's side. The whole process took no more than a few seconds. He pressed the large crimson tile on the small flying knife. This time, the small flying knife could not move at all. He would not let Yan Qing or even the Sea Witch move this tile.
Yan Qing was without a weapon, and she was afraid that Chu Chengan would be angry with her because of Lu Zhenqiu's injury, so she thought about retreating. However, her feet seemed to be filled with lead and she stopped in place, unable to move. She immediately understood that it was the Sea Witch who wanted her to go over and try out how many cards those two people had. She was the one who was forced to sign the contract, and after that she could only be used by the Sea Witch and could not resist. She hated it so much!
The sea witch threw a hairpin to Yan Qing. The wooden hairpin looked like a long brown chopstick, and it was obvious that it would hurt a lot. With it, she would feel more confident than hitting someone with bare hands.
The sea witch said: "As for me, I hate to see other people's brotherly love. I just can't stand seeing others being better than me."
What kind of orphan is speaking?
She added: "Unless you two stage a betrayal before me, I will not consider letting you go easily."
Chu Chengan sneered after hearing this, and then looked at what Yan Qing was holding in her hand? A chopstick? (Straight men don't know about wooden hairpins) He really wanted to laugh at them for overestimating their abilities.
He never hit women before, but the Sea Witch was an NPC, not even a human, so why couldn't he hit her?
The same goes for Yan Qing. She had already told him not to discriminate on the basis of gender. Moreover, he had tried to take his and Lu Zhenqiu's lives many times. If he continued to be polite to them, wouldn't it seem like he had been kicked in the head by a donkey?
Chu Cheng'an brought Lu Zhenqiu to a place behind him, a little further away from him, Yan Qing and the Sea Witch, for fear that they might get hurt accidentally.
And this place is in the center of the island, and Lu Zhenqiu has to run for a while to get close to the water source and use his carving needle. Now he is very vulnerable.
He actually wanted Lu Zhenqiu to go to the beach by himself.
The Sea Witch thought Chu Cheng'an wanted the little mermaid to escape. Now that she was in her territory, how could she let her prey escape again?
The Little Mermaid is also one of her contractors...
She took out a conch shell and started to blow it. The sound was neither pleasant nor unpleasant, but it could be heard from far away.
Lu Zhenqiu's legs seemed to have a relapse of his malignant illness at this time. When he was not walking, it felt like he was walking on a knife edge, with the knife piercing into his bones one section at a time.
