Chapter 225 Sneak Attack
A night passed.
Scarlett goes to the Yersei Palace to find Sophia.
It seemed like she had returned to the Nordli Square of the Orlanrosa Empire, but in fact, she was still in the illusion of the resource competition. She couldn't go to see her queen mother, and the only way was to end the competition.
Sophia was still resting, and Scarlett was greeted by Dota, formerly known as Gra.
He glanced at Scarlett, smiled slightly, and led her into the living room to wait for a while.
This wait lasted four hours.
The tea was refilled three times and the snacks were changed three times.
Sophia showed no intention of showing up.
Scarlett had something on her mind and didn't have much patience to begin with. Seeing that the other party hadn't come out yet, her anger grew stronger and stronger. She stood up and asked coldly, "Is Sophia still resting?"
"Sophia has been feeling unwell recently and has been sleeping most of the time. She cannot be woken up even if we call her. Your Highness, please bear with her." Dota replied with a smile.
Scarlett was silent for a moment, then remembered another rule of the competition and said bluntly, "If she is unwell and unable to participate in the competition, she can just admit defeat."
Sophia is the champion of this level, so admitting defeat has no impact.
Dota raised his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Even if Sofia is feeling unwell, she won't be late for the competition. She just needs some time to recuperate."
Dota's eyes were still bright, though a bit sharper than before. He stared at Scarlett's face and said with a half-smile, "Besides, the judge said we had three days to prepare. Only one day has passed. Your Highness, why are you so anxious?"
Scarlett narrowed her eyes, understanding the other party's hidden meaning. Her pale golden pupils flickered slightly, and she asked bluntly, "Is this what you mean or what Sophia means?"
"Is it important?" Dota asked instead of answering.
Scarlett raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly, "It's really not important."
She finished her tea, stood up and left. Halfway through, she suddenly swung her arm and released a colorless mental force, splitting the sofa in the living room in half.
Dota stood in the center of the reception room, and his mental power naturally affected him as well.
He stood still, but his heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.
Soon, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His internal organs were injured by the pressure brought by the SS-level mental power.
He covered his heart and looked at Scarlett's back.
Scarlett said without even turning her head: "Take good care of your injuries. There will be something even more powerful waiting for you in two days."
As soon as Scarlett left.
Sophia walked out and looked at the mess on the ground. Her face was as calm as water. She said, "She is still so impulsive. If she knew that news, I'm afraid that the mental strength that I have worked so hard to build up will collapse immediately."
Dota wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Scarlett is indeed not fit to be a princess, nor a monarch."
Hearing this.
Sophia smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and she looked very cold.
Two days later.
The final game of the resource competition officially begins.
Scarlett and Sophia stood on the platform of Nordli Square with their respective beast husbands.
Holding a badge representing themselves.
Enter the portal.
…
…
Lancaster.
The heart of the lost continent.
Scarlett woke up on the swamp plate. The moment she regained consciousness, her body sank into the slippery mud.
This scene was exactly the same as the first time she entered the Lost Continent.
But the surrounding area is an endless swamp without any flowers, plants or trees. The frequently bulging mud is trying its best to swallow the outsiders and leave them no chance to escape.
Scarlett moved her mind, and her light blue wings spread out on her back. With a powerful swing, Scarlett's figure quickly escaped from the swamp like an arrow.
There was no place to stay nearby, so she could only fly in the air to look for other people.
This time.
The ring gave no hint.
You have to find it yourself.
Scarlett wanted to fly higher and see farther, but when she reached a certain height, countless dry branches appeared out of thin air in the blue sky, forming a huge net that pressed down her body and prevented her from flying higher.
Even if she used her mental strength, she couldn't break through.
Scarlett did not act impulsively, but remained calm and continued to fly at the same altitude as before. She also sent out her mental power to explore the living creatures nearby.
About ten minutes later, his mental strength returned and he took Scarlett to the southeast.
This flight actually crossed the swamp and arrived at the poison barrier area.
A lavender poisonous barrier permeated the deserted town.
Countless poisonous corpses rose from the poison barrier.
With its head tilted, its back hunched, and its long tail dragging, it walked in one direction.
Scarlett's mental power has the function of purification, and the poison barrier has no effect on her. Seeing that the direction of her mental power is the same as that of the poisonous corpse, she hides in the poison barrier and follows the poisonous corpse.
The poisonous corpse's target was a small white villa.
She flew to the second-floor balcony and saw the people inside through the transparent window.
It's Riley.
Riley saw her too.
The dark green eyes flashed with light, the clear and handsome eyebrows had a faint smile, the skin was a little pale, and there were a few traces of blood at the corners of the mouth.
Scarlett was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully and saw that there was someone else in the room.
A scorpion with its fangs bared and its tail raised was shooting poisonous needles at Riley.
Riley was agile and dodged again and again without getting hurt, but he also had no ability to fight back.
As the opponent pressed on step by step, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Scarlett's brows furrowed, and she no longer cared about the strong poison outside. It was not suitable to open the window. She smashed the window with a palm and flew into the room.
The light blue wings mobilized mental power and swung vigorously towards the scorpion.
The whirlwind swept towards the scorpion.
The scorpion was only S-level, and had no power to fight back against the SS-level mental power. It was rolled into the corner and spat out two mouthfuls of black blood.
He took a look at Scarlett's wings, his expression turned horrified, he turned over and climbed out of the window, leaving at an extremely fast speed.
"Don't worry about me, Your Highness."
Riley knew that Scarlett was more than capable of dealing with the scorpion. Since no one showed up, it was a perfect opportunity to catch as many as possible.
Scarlett looked at the injured Riley, without getting angry, and touched Riley's wrist with her fingertips, "Riley, take good care of yourself, I'll be back soon."
Turn around and chase the scorpion.
Transparent mental power circled Riley's wrist.
This is the defensive halo left for him by the female master, which can help him stabilize his mental strength for a certain period of time and prevent him from being invaded by external poisons.
They can also quickly find each other when they are separated.
Riley looked at the lit circle of light, and the smile in his eyes grew deeper.
Just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Several heavy footsteps came from downstairs, walked towards the stairs, and stopped in front of the closed door.
…
…
The scorpion's name is Locke. He is not Sophia's beastly husband, but her servant.
As the champion, Sophia can bring her servants into the resource competition. This is her right.
Sophia specially picked out several males with animal shapes and similar ranks to her beast husband as servants, and then brought them in using a teleportation array created by her mental power.
The purpose is to create false information and confuse the public.
Locke had no badge on him.
As a poisonous scorpion, he was not disturbed by the poison barrier and moved around the town with ease. He seemed to be running away aimlessly, but in fact he was leading Scarlett to another place.
Locke was small and fast, and Scarlett was flying in the air, barely keeping up with him.
She didn't act rashly.
While staring at Locke's figure.
While recalling all the information about Sophia's beast husband.
Sophia has a beast husband named Scorpion, a member of the navy fleet. He was attacked by Zerg half a year ago and his third left leg was injured.
The Zerg's venom is corrosive and the orcs' mental strength is difficult to repair.
So the scorpion's injured leg is incomplete and has a prosthetic limb, and the color of the leg joint is slightly darker.
Scarlett looked at Locke's legs.
The color of the joint of the third leg on the left is indeed different.
Scarlett had no doubts and increased her speed. When Locke was about to disappear in the depths of the poison barrier, she sent out her mental power.
at the same time.
A giant bird flew out of the sky.
There was a poisonous scorpion standing on the giant bird.
The scorpion raised its tail and shot out several poisonous needles, piercing the back of Scarlett's neck.
…
…
"Bang!"
The door of the room was violently kicked open.
Riley stood by the window, with black mental power floating between his white eyebrows, and looked at the person who came with caution.
