In the middle of the corridor, Shekh remained unaffected, his eyes fixed on Yan Taixu, before he slowly blinked.
As the white stones coalesced, Yan Taixu's body immediately began to petrify.
"If you don't want to leave, then stay with her."
The white rocks imprisoned Yan Taixu's legs, and his vanity, which had just been lifted up by Xiao Zheng, gradually subsided. He quickly pulled his arms away.
The petrification stopped dissipating, and Yan Taixu asked, "Can I leave now...?"
“Of course.” Sheh controlled the black and gold woven net to create a gap about the height of a person, and Yan Taixu was the first to run out, leaving the people behind him far behind.
Xiao Zheng's eyes widened, and she unconsciously swallowed.
"You only want skill cards?"
"Yes, as long as the card."
Xiao Zheng was torn. All the other players had left. What should she do? Would she die?
Shekh held out a hand in front of her: "I won't kill you, just hand over the card."
"Really?" Xiao Zheng saw hope again.
"Really, hand over your card and we won't kill you."
Xiao Zheng clutched her clothes tightly, thinking it over and over again.
She's already missed all three opportunities to change teammates, while Yan Taixu still has his. What if she gets abandoned...?
Xiao Zheng made up her mind that she couldn't be separated from Yan Taixu for too long. If she caused too much trouble, this lifeline would become annoying. She had to catch up with him and deceive him again before he realized the problem.
Thinking of this, she honestly handed over the skill card.
Shekh didn't even look at it and just tossed it to Liang Fengzhi, saying, "Use it for now."
"Th...thank you!"
The surprise was so sudden that Liang Fengzhi was flustered and even stumbled over his words.
Skill: [100% chance to catch a blade bare-handed]
Effect: Please note that this is not 100% guaranteed. The higher the player's individual skill level, the higher the success rate of catching a blade without taking damage. This effect will trigger once every six attempts.
Liang Fengzhi was overjoyed and quickly equipped the item. So what if she was a cheater? So what if she couldn't draw skills? She had a cheat code; skill cards would come to her by themselves!
It's just catching a blade bare-handed, right? She'll quit her job and train harder until she's exhausted.
Xiao Zheng stared intently at the two of them, clenching her teeth.
Treating a worthless fortune card like a treasure, these advanced players are abnormal. Why don't they take on newbies like her...?
Xiaozheng turned her head away, preferring to ignore it.
"Can I walk now?"
"Let's go." Shekh stepped aside to make way.
Xiao Zheng suppressed her resentment and, upon hearing this, quickly walked outside. As she walked, she started running, and once she was out of the black and gold woven net, she finally felt at ease.
"fortunately…"
She pressed her hand to her chest. Because she was afraid of Shekh, Xiaozheng didn't dare to look back, so she didn't notice that the large black and gold net was changing shape.
As she ran to the corner, her long hair suddenly billowed forward, and a sudden, fierce gust of wind blew her from behind, causing her to stumble.
Xiao Zheng lost her balance and turned around. The sight in her pupils changed from the corridor inside the building to a rapidly expanding arrow.
"ah--!"
The black-gold arrow that pierced through her body dissolved into liquid the instant it passed through Xiaozheng's body, entering her blood vessels and bones, and her skin began to decay from her chest.
The moment she fell, half of her body landed just outside the corner, allowing her to see the view beyond the bend.
There lay a skeletal human mound, its mouth wide open, its abdomen deeply sunken, as if the bones were about to be squeezed out.
The mummified corpse's two eyeballs had disappeared, and a tiny golden flower had sprouted from their eye sockets.
The familiar blue and white polo shirt proved that this was Yan Taixu, who had just left. Upon closer inspection, one could see that he still had a faint breath and was not completely dead.
It was a terrible situation, but Xiao Zheng had no time to worry about Yan Taixu. She was overwhelmed by despair and could barely protect herself.
The blackish-gold liquid corroded her body, seeping into and gnawing away at her skin and nerves. She screamed as her bones rapidly collapsed.
Her beautiful face melted away like a collapsing candle, the skin piled up without any muscle support, resembling a Shar Pei at first glance.
Xiao Zheng cried out but fell silent from the pain. Her hazy consciousness was hard to bear, and she really couldn't hold on any longer.
Half a minute later, only a patch of black and gold liquid remained on the ground.
Shekh didn't rush to retrieve it. Instead, he controlled a pool of liquid in the distance and used the same method to kill Yan Taixu, who was on his last breath.
The golden flower that had sustained Yan Taixu's last vital signs retreated, its life rapidly declining, turning into a seed once more, and hiding itself in a secluded corner.
Shi Jinzhe took out the scepter and retrieved Sheh's black-gold liquid. "I'm quite understanding, I've left you a breath to vent your anger."
He noticed it all, so how could Sheh not notice Yan Taixu's gaze? If she didn't kill this person herself, she would probably sulk and nag about it for a long time.
Shi Jinzhe: "Now that the people are taken care of, shall we go back?"
“Okay, let’s go back.” Shekh followed him back, and when they reached the corner, he complained to Shi Jinzhe, “I just lied to someone.”
"That's not a person, I'm not lying."
"...Trying to coax a child? You're the one who's not human."
"To tell you the truth, you lied to her to get the skill card. It wasn't a baseless lie. You did this for Sister Liang's sake. If you didn't lie to her, what would happen to Sister Liang? What would happen to her three snakes if she died? You said that because you can't directly kill the card in this dungeon. That's called a roundabout tactic, not lying. The fault isn't yours, it's the dungeon."
