Night fell for the second time.
After discussing with Lin Xuanyao and Shen Xiao, Nian Jingliu looked at Hua Changle and said, "We agree with your decision to get rid of Feng Yuejia first."
Hua Changle nodded: "Then I'll take the clues about the Xuan Shui Turtle and head there tonight."
Nian Jingliu sighed softly: "Tonight, I'm afraid things won't be peaceful."
Alright, let's get started!
Hua Changle, with several clues, went to "Wang Ba" to find the list, while Lin Xuanyao, Nian Jingliu, and Shen Xiao acted together.
On the other side, Nian Tujin, Feng Yuejia, Qiao Risheng, and Hua Xiange left the Wasteland Fortress in pairs, while the remaining three remained inside.
There is a pond about a mile north of Wasteland Fortress.
It's not big, but it's very deep, and the water inside looks dark and murky.
Not far from the pond, across a small hill, lies a swamp.
The pond is the territory of a different species of black water turtle;
The swamp is the territory of the ghost crocodile.
These two big guys are each guarding a separate list. Only by killing them can you get the list.
Feng Yuejia and Nian Tujin headed towards the vicinity of the Xuan Shui Turtle, while Qiao Risheng and Hua Xiange took a detour from the other side to the vicinity of the Ghost Crocodile.
On the way, Feng Yuejia glanced at Nian Tujin several times. Nian Tujin noticed but didn't ask.
This person simply wanted to know if she was a spy.
Sure enough, when they reached the Xuan Shui Turtle, Feng Yuejia still asked, "Hey, Nian... Qiao Jin, are you loyal to Mr. Qiao?"
Nian Tujin replied without hesitation, "Of course! I'm a really good person!"
[Nianmei: Even though I'm the villain, I have to be a good person today!]
The white snake is leaping rapidly into the fire pit.
[I don't understand. If Nianmei was acting with Feng, and Feng died, wouldn't she be exposed?]
[If Feng is asexual, and Nianmei claims she betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, wouldn't that clear her name?]
Feng Yuejia still didn't believe her after hearing this:
"Did you really only share the list clues with Hua Changle during the day? You didn't talk about anything else?"
Nian Tujin turned the tables on him: "What? Do you have some hidden identity that you're afraid of being exposed?"
Feng Yuejia choked, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Nian Tujin pouted and followed.
The two arrived at the pond.
On the scorched earth of war, a pond teeming with water and grass had miraculously formed in a low-lying area.
As night falls, the grass turns a color that resembles the vines of the flowering clover.
Nian Tujin squatted down, placed her hand on the edge of the pond, and threw a pebble into it with her other hand.
Ripples spread across the water, and a melody played on its surface.
As the melody enters the ear, ripples are controlled to sway downwards, only to return upon contact.
Every single detail, every single second, is information entering our ears.
This is a sound-based superpower.
It is also the ability of Nian Tu Jin—a variant of the "Wind Bat," which originates from the abilities of bats.
Nian Tujin stopped and said in a low voice, "The big guy is in the water, we have to lure it up."
How do we introduce it?
Feng Yuejia's eyes darted around, and she said:
"My special ability is [Bone Nail], which concentrates special energy into a single point and directly damages the internal structure of a living organism."
This ability won't be able to lure it up. You should make some noise to draw it up.
Nian Tujin disagreed: "No, Lieutenant Qiao and his men are secretly exploring the Ghost Crocodile's cave. If we make too much noise, it will affect their operations and threaten their safety!"
"So concerned? Are you really a member of Qiao's faction?" Feng Yuejia narrowed her eyes slightly.
Nian Tujin remained unfazed: "I'm a completely natural, additive-free good person!"
[Nianmei: A kind person who is all-natural and without any additives]
Shen Xiao: A 100% Bad Guy
【Hua Changle: A Mysterious Woman】
[...a family of three?]
[Hahaha, the comments are hilarious!]
[Bro, help me get this out, I'm laughing so hard my head's going to fall off!]
Feng Yuejia slowly forced a stiff smile: "Then I'm relieved."
"What?" Nian Tujin was completely puzzled.
Feng Yuejia said quietly, "Actually, there is another excellent method that is very easy to lure it out."
"What method?"
Nian Tujin squatted down to look at her, but Feng Yuejia suddenly became agitated, waving her arm—
A beam of silver light shot towards her!
Nian Tujin was shocked!
She didn't even have time to react!
Just as the silver nail was about to hit her heart, she suddenly tripped at her feet and her body swayed!
The silver nail grazed my shoulder and bit off a piece of flesh!
"Feng Yuejia?!"
Shocked, Nian Tujin revealed her real name.
What's going on?
Holy crap, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!
Why the sudden infighting?
[Could Feng be a bad person? No, wait, isn't this just infighting?]
[Is Feng asexual and has switched sides with Cheng?]
Feng Yuejia grinned and said, "Letting out some blood will also lure it out."
"You're insane, attacking me?! You... no, that's not right,"
Nian Tujin suddenly realized: "You're planning to side with the Cheng faction?"
"Preparing to seek refuge?"
Feng Yuejia unleashed her signature "staring eyes" performance, acting out a madman's rage: "I'm just following my ambition!"
In Nian Tujin's mind, she immediately sentenced her to death:
Asexual! Absolutely asexual! And asexual that's unpredictable and wavering! Damn, Lele was right!
Fresh blood flowed into the black water, and the pond immediately began to stir.
In the middle of the pond, the water flows in all directions.
A speck of black, then a patch of black shell, and finally a whole piece of dark brown tortoise shell emerges from the water.
Shaped like a black tortoise, it is ten feet long and more than four feet tall.
The tortoise shell is made of irregular hexagons, with swirling dark purple patterns engraved on it.
Its neck resembled that of an ancient long-necked dragon, its head bore two rows of brown bumps, and its eyes were pitch black, but its pupils were a mad, blood-red color.
A variant species—the Mysterious Water Turtle, Rank 5.
A colossal creature appeared before the two of them.
Nian Tujin exclaimed "Holy crap!"—a phrase from a national treasure—and promptly turned and ran.
—Of course! Let's get out of this guy's attack range first! We have no idea how to even begin, right?
Feng Yuejia reacted a beat too slow. Just as she turned to leave, her legs suddenly became unable to move!
What happened?!
————————
Those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish!
