"Stand back and be alert to your surroundings! Wang Hao, are you sure your residence is in this direction?"
Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, Lu Xuan vigilantly picked up the dagger he carried with him. The three girls behind him who had just gotten off the boat also raised their homemade harpoons and looked around vigilantly with their backs to each other.
"Yes, right here... Where did all this blood come from?"
Obviously, Wang Hao was also shocked at the moment. He didn't care about the pain in his body and kept looking down.
"Lu Xuan, this blood seems to have come from the jungle."
Shen Keyin observed very carefully and soon discovered the clues.
He pointed to the bloodstains on the ground and then to the jungle ahead.
"Let's go, Wang Hao, you lead the way!"
Lu Xuan continued to escort Wang Hao deeper into the jungle.
He was unfamiliar with this place and it was his first time here, so in order to ensure safety, he naturally pushed Wang Hao to the front.
If something really happens, I can use this guy as a shield.
The three girls followed Lu Xuan closely, looking back every three steps and turning around every five steps.
"Yang Yaqi..."
Just after they walked a hundred meters deep into the jungle, Wang Hao, who was walking in front, suddenly discovered a woman with disheveled hair in front of him.
Seeing Wang Hao stopped and staring at the front, Lu Xuan also looked forward, only to see Yang Yaqi holding a bloody dagger and laughing wildly at Lu Yuqiang who was lying in a pool of blood.
Her long hair, a few strands stained with blood, draped messily over her shoulders, swaying gently in the wind, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere. Her face was contorted with extreme excitement or anger, her eyes red as if burning with flames as she stared straight ahead, her gaze filled with both frantic delight and a subtle hint of determination.
The tip of the tightly gripped dagger was still trembling slightly, as if still savoring the thrilling blow. Bright red blood slowly slid down the blade, dripping onto the cold ground with a "tick, tick" sound that formed a sharp contrast with the stagnant air around it.
Not far in front of Yang Yaqi, Lu Yuqiang collapsed in a pool of blood. His body slumped limply, his face pale as paper, his eyes closed, as if he had lost all hope. Blood gushed out from his wounds, quickly pooling on the ground into a shocking red lake. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, making people sick.
Hearing the noise outside, Yang Yaqi turned her head, and then... everyone saw an extremely terrifying and distorted face.
"...You are all bad people...You all deserve to die! Damn it! Hahahaha..."
After laughing three times in front of everyone, Yang Yaqi suddenly ran deep into the jungle.
"Qiang...Brother Qiang..."
At this time, Wang Hao also saw Lu Yuqiang lying on the ground, dying.
Wang Hao's heart suddenly tightened, as if being gripped by an invisible hand, and his breathing became rapid. He took two steps at a time, trudged through the bushes with difficulty, and rushed to Lu Yuqiang's side.
After all, Wang Hao has followed Lu Yuqiang for many years. Seeing that the big brother who usually took him to the world has become like this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, how are you? Was it that woman? Was it that woman who did this?!"
Wang Hao kept pushing Lu Yuqiang, who was covered in blood, and roaring.
Lu Yuqiang's face was pale, his eyes were closed, blood was hanging from the corner of his mouth, and blood was flowing from his left chest. It was obvious that there was no way to save him.
"Yang Yaqi, Yang Yaqi! You bitch! I'm going to kill you, you die!"
At this moment, Wang Hao rushed straight towards the direction where Yang Yaqi left like a mad wolf.
"Lu Xuan, he? It seems he's dying..."
At this time, Chen Keyin and Yin Yichen were already frightened by the scene in front of them. The two girls covered their eyes together, and their legs were shaking constantly. Leng Mengyao, on the other hand, still maintained 70% of his rationality.
She squatted down and pressed Lu Yuqiang's wound tightly, as if trying to stop the bleeding.
Of course, all of this has no meaning at the moment.
"You...you, you...are a...good...person..."
When Lu Yuqiang, who was only breathing his last breath, found out that the person who would accompany him to complete the last step of his life was Leng Mengyao, the person he had been targeting all along, Lu Yuqiang looked at the woman in front of him with a wry smile and uttered a few words with difficulty.
"You... stop talking, you'll be fine."
Leng Mengyao pulled off a corner of the other person's shirt, trying his best to bandage the wound and comfort him.
Even if Leng Mengyao said this, she herself would not believe it.
“It’s… useless…”
Lu Yuqiang tried his best, forced a smile and shook his head at Leng Mengyao.
Seeing this scene, even Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh: When a bird is about to die, its cry is sad; when a person is about to die, his words are kind.
Perhaps only when people face death directly can they truly let go of the many obsessions in their hearts...
At this moment, money, power, women... all become as light as a feather.
"You... have to... be... careful... there are... people... on the... island..."
When Lu Xuan and others were still sighing, Lu Yuqiang used up his last bit of strength to say this sentence, but it seemed that he had only said half of the last word before the other party completely stopped breathing.
"What did he say? What's on the island?"
Lu Xuan was standing at the time, so he naturally didn't hear clearly, but it was obvious that Lu Yuqiang seemed to be issuing some warning to Leng Mengyao in his dying moments.
"I didn't hear it clearly. It seemed to be 'people'... but it also seemed not to be..."
It’s not that Lu Xuan is hard of hearing. Even Leng Mengyao, who is closest to Lu Yuqiang, didn’t seem to hear clearly what the other party said.
"There are people on the island? There must be people on this island?"
Shen Keyin blinked twice, indicating that she completely did not understand what Lu Yuqiang said before his death.
Is there anyone on the island?
Lu Xuan thought about it, but couldn't figure out what Lu Yuqiang meant...
“Ah~~~”
Just as everyone was still trying to guess Lu Yuqiang's last words, a miserable male voice came from deep in the jungle ahead.
"It's Wang Hao's voice!"
Leng Mengyao immediately recognized whose voice it was.
"Don't move here, don't go anywhere, I'll go over and take a look!"
"Lu Xuan, I'll go with you!"
As Lu Xuan turned around and ran towards the jungle in front with the harpoon, Shen Keyin followed closely.
"What are you doing here? Go back!"
"No, we agreed to advance and retreat together. Besides... I can protect you!"
Seeing the girl's resolute attitude, Lu Xuan didn't say much. He gave Leng Mengyao, who was staying at the cave entrance, a look, then turned around and rushed towards the direction of the sound! ...
