Chapter 239 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 7
Xu Qiuqiu quickly replied, "Yes, I must protect my junior brother."
She didn't know if it would work, but she decided to give it a try.
"Senior sister is so kind."
Mo Chen's voice was unreadable, but Xu Qiuqiu always felt that his voice was strange, as if he was plotting something bad.
Just as I was thinking this, a deafening roar suddenly rang out in front of me, and the whole ground began to shake.
As the sound drew closer, Xu Qiuqiu saw a monster whose appearance was physically disturbing.
A huge spider, red in color, with long antennae and sharp fangs.
Its cry is like a child's wail, which is terrifying.
This is a demon beast that has formed its core, possibly a sixth-tier demon beast or higher.
"Junior brother, should we run first?" Xu Qiuqiu tightened her grip on Mo Chen's hand. "We can't win..."
She was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and fighting a sixth-tier demonic beast would require at least the late stage of the Golden Core realm, so she had absolutely no chance of winning.
"Senior sister, it seems we can't escape..." Mo Yun's face showed fear, but she was secretly excited.
Before Xu Qiuqiu could think, the red spider was almost in front of her, and she could smell the blood in its mouth.
The smell was both fishy and foul. Xu Qiuqiu unleashed the magical artifacts she carried and struck the red spider with them.
The red spider's exoskeleton is extremely hard; low-level magical artifacts shatter upon impact, and some artifacts are even chewed up by the red spider.
Xu Qiuqiu was dumbfounded. How was she supposed to fight this? They weren't even in the same league...
Enraged, the red spider unleashed countless white, slimy threads from its abdomen, attacking her.
Xu Qiuqiu immediately used fireballs to burn the white silk, but the red spider's white silk continued to flow. At first, she could barely stop it, but later her spiritual power became less and less.
She cursed inwardly, thinking, "That heartless woman, she didn't even bother to help, she was just standing behind me watching."
"Senior sister, I'm so scared, are we going to die here..." Mo Yun said pitifully, hiding behind Xu Qiuqiu.
Xu Qiuqiu was so angry she wanted to vomit blood. Although she didn't know how high his cultivation level was, she was certain that it was higher than both hers and Ruan Zhili's. Yet now he was pretending to be a weak junior brother to her.
She realized that this Black Lotus still intended to kill her, so she didn't make a move and waited to see her be eaten by this monster.
With her spiritual energy almost depleted, Xu Qiuqiu could only condense spells with little power. In order to survive and gain some favorability, she said weakly, "Junior brother, I can't hold on much longer. I'll try my best to hold it off. You should run."
Mo Chen looked at the girl in front of him. She was already very weak, but she still stood firmly in front of him, just as she had said she would protect him.
His heart was touched.
The red spider was already upon her, and the powerful airflow sent Xu Qiuqiu flying. She crashed to the ground, her back scraping against the uneven surface, causing a burning pain.
Mo Yan's eyes darkened, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.
Sensing Mo Chen's murderous aura, the red spider was frightened. It felt wronged, because it was clearly ordered by the king to come and scare this cultivator. Wasn't it obediently following his instructions?
Sensing something was wrong, the red spider quickly left the scene. It was intelligent; if it didn't run away, it might die.
Xu Qiuqiu endured the pain and propped herself up, only to find that the red spider was gone.
Mo Chen walked to Xu Qiuqiu's side and reached out to support her, "Senior Sister, are you alright?"
With his help, Xu Qiuqiu stood up and asked curiously, "Where is that monster?"
Mo Yun's eyes were full of admiration. "The demon beast was driven away by Senior Sister. Senior Sister is really amazing."
"I see." Xu Qiuqiu didn't believe him and just gave a casual reply.
She's not stupid. The demon beast is far stronger than her, how could she possibly defeat it? It's possible that it didn't want to kill her anymore.
Xu Qiuqiu looked up at the sky and suggested, "Shall we find a place to rest?"
"good."
Xu Qiuqiu had only taken one step forward when her hand was grabbed. She looked up at Mo Chen and saw that he was frowning and had a gloomy expression, which startled her. "What...is wrong?"
"Senior sister, you're injured..." Mo Yun saw bloodstains on her white clothes, and the red spots stung his eyes and made his heart ache.
Hearing his words, Xu Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought he was thinking of killing her again, so she casually replied, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
She wanted to keep walking forward, but he held her hand tightly.
Mo Chen's eyes were filled with deep heartache, which he himself did not realize. He raised his hand to cover her wound, and his voice softened unconsciously: "Senior sister, let me heal you."
Xu Qiuqiu felt a warm current flowing into her skin, which not only relieved the pain but also made her feel comfortable.
Once the wound stopped bleeding, Mo Chen withdrew his hand, feeling somewhat better. He regained his usual obedient demeanor and said, "Senior Sister, it's all done."
"Thank you, junior brother." Xu Qiuqiu smiled gratefully at Mo Yan.
She was so touched. He was willing to help her heal her wounds, which meant he definitely didn't want to kill her anymore, and that her life was spared.
Mo Chen was dazzled by her smile and felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't understand why he felt uncomfortable.
Do you resent that she's different from others?
She should have just abandoned him and run away. That way, he could have mocked her mercilessly, saying that all her talk about protecting him was a lie in the face of life and death, and he could have convinced himself to kill her without any scruples.
But she didn't. When she was about to collapse, she told him to go first.
He didn't know how he felt; he just felt very confused.
Amidst the chaotic rocky mountains, a small stream flowed. Ruan Zhili walked for half a day only to find himself back where he started, and he was extremely anxious.
I have no idea where Han Ruoqiu, that vicious woman, is.
However, having entered the secret realm a step too late, they indeed ended up in different places.
He picked up the magical artifact his father had given him, intending to chop up all these mountains and see if he could get out of this hellish place.
The secret realm is only open for five days; once that time is up, he'll have to find a new opportunity.
On the other side, Xu Qiuqiu found a cave before it got completely dark.
She threw the last of her magical artifacts into the cave.
Mo Chen looked at her, puzzled. "Senior sister, what's wrong?"
"I'm afraid there might be monsters in the cave." Xu Qiuqiu put away her magic weapon. "Alright, the cave is safe. Let's go in."
Once inside the cave, she didn't expect him to help. She found some planks and dry grass, laid them on the ground, and made a simple bed.
After laying out the bed, she sat down. She originally wanted to lie down directly, but considering that this scheming woman was still there, she couldn't disregard her image and had to sit demurely.
After sitting for a while, Xu Qiuqiu smiled at Mo Chen and said, "Junior brother, are you tired? Come and sit down."
