Chapter 142

Although Yan Ze said he wouldn't die, anyone could see that his current state was poor and he was just being stubborn.

So what if a Second-Turn physique is tough?

Major injuries like a severed arm, if not treated for a long time, will still lead to wound infection and death.

Jiang Yunqing knew that Yan Ze was just comforting her.

She bit her lip, and blood beads flowed.

"How about... I go out, let them catch me, and you can take the opportunity to escape."

"Anyway, their target... was originally me!"

Jiang Yunqing gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and walked toward the door without looking back.

"Ji Yao! Stop her!"

"Cough, cough..."

Yan Ze said hurriedly, but suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

Without him needing to say it, Ji Yao had already stepped forward and grabbed her.

"Yunqing, don't blame yourself anymore."

She stepped forward, wiped Jiang Yunqing's tears with her mage sleeve, and said softly.

"If it weren't for your soul-buff skill that allowed us to double our EXP, we couldn't have promoted to Second-Turn so quickly."

"This month, being with you has been very happy."

"We are willing to bear all this with you."

"Friends... should originally help each other, right."

She showed a cute smile and hugged Jiang Yunqing gently.

Yan Ze also said in a low voice: "Dying with friends... I have no regrets."

"Yunqing, we don't blame you..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunqing was even more determined to leave.

"Hey, do you two know..."

"You two being so carefree about wanting to die with me, instead..."

"Makes me want to let you live even more..."

Her eyes turned red, and she broke free from Ji Yao's hand, resolutely walking toward the door.

Anyway, her father was dead, her family was gone, and she didn't have much attachment to this world.

At this moment, Yan Ze spoke.

"Good!"

"You... if you want to go, then go!"

He forced himself to sit up a bit and said freely.

"But you must be clear, the people outside might have memory-searching skills; once they catch you, they can find the hiding spot of me and Ji Yao."

"And, they have seized everything your family had; doing such dirty deeds, they definitely don't want the matter exposed."

"All personnel involved must die!"

"So it's not just you; people related to you must also be wiped out."

"Previously they already saw the three of us together; even if you go out to die, they won't let me and Ji Yao go."

Yan Ze said decisively.

"If you hope for the three of us to be wiped out, then go!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

After saying so much in one breath, he emitted a violent cough, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Yan Ze didn't just have a severed arm; his lungs had also been pierced by a sharp blade.

Every breath was a piercing pain for him.

He was the most severely injured.

Under the pursuit of assassins, it was Yan Ze who turned the tide many times and stepped forward.

Escaping several times was truly dangerous.

Once, Yan Ze even lured a team of assassins into a nest of elite monsters.

Then, together with Ji Yao and Jiang Yunqing, they surrounded and killed a Third-Turn assassin!

Second-Turn killing Third-Turn, although the means weren't honorable, it was indeed powerful.

They obtained a large amount of EXP.

Now the levels of the few were all around 23.

If it weren't for the coincidence of many factors such as schemes, environment, and monster containment, Yan Ze couldn't have brought the two to hold on for so many days.

Luck accounted for the majority of the factors, and the other part relied on Yan Ze's meticulous mind.

The two complemented each other, and neither could be missing.

But now, the few were finally indeed at their limit.

If an assassin found this place now, they had almost no means of counter-control.

Even Yan Ze hadn't prepared any backup plans.

All items were used up, and everyone was injured.

"Yunqing, don't forget, you still have a sister." Ji Yao also stepped forward, persuading with a serious expression.

"She is currently missing; maybe she is still alive?"

"Even for her sake, you must live well."

Jiang Yunqing was finally persuaded.

She calmed down, returned to Yan Ze's side, and sat on the ground.

"Sorry... I was indeed impulsive."

She took out a water bottle and fed Yan Ze a few mouthfuls.

"Then now... what should we do?"

She asked.

Outside the window, a drizzling rain began to fall, and the room was cold.

This rainwater was extremely strange, carrying a yellowish, turbid color.

Ji Yao stood by the window, shook her head gently, and said.

"There really isn't a good way..."

"This group of people has a very wide skill range, and can even designate this vast area around us as a combat zone."

"Making us unable to even exit the dungeon; they are truly... reaching the heavens with their eyes and hands."

"There might even be a Fourth-Turn assassin among them."

"To have someone two major realms higher than us come to assassinate us, they really spent a lot of blood."

Ji Yao said with a dim expression.

Deep in her eyes, there was actually some fear of death, as well as attachment to the world.

In her heart, she didn't want to die.

Grandma, and Mom and Dad... were all waiting for her to go home.

And, she had finally promoted to Second-Turn, just catching up to Su Ming.

She hadn't even found him to show off yet.

Now, she was going to die...

She gave a bitter smile and finally hid the sadness in her heart.

She knew she couldn't show cowardice.

Now she was the one in the best state among the three.

If she also collapsed, then everyone would be in despair...

"What about asking other players for help?"

Jiang Yunqing asked.

"Not feasible... this dungeon is an E-rank dungeon, most players are Second-Turn newbies like us, while the assassins... the lowest are Third-Turn experts."

Yan Ze shook his head and said.

"Letting them come is just sending them to die."

BOOM!!!

Suddenly, a terrifying loud noise came from above.

Breaking the silence of the three!

Above the ruined house, a large hole was suddenly broken.

The blood moon poured down, its light enchanting.

"Discovered!?"

Yan Ze's expression was ugly, his gaze cold.

He hurriedly picked up the bow at his side.

Only to see a man with a face full of scars descending from the sky!

He wore black tight-fitting clothes, with a pair of huge shackles on his hands.

Those shackles were not instruments of torture to restrain him.

But his weapon!

"Little mice, so you were hiding here!"

"It really took me a good search!"

He gave a ferocious laugh, but his voice was extremely hoarse, as if a mouthful of thick phlegm was stuck in his throat.

He was burly, with a rough face, and 1.9 meters tall.

He stared greedily at the three, licking his lips.

As if he wasn't looking at three living people, but the reward right in front of him!

He was not an official assassin of the Zhang family, but a lone wolf.

The Zhang family had posted a bounty on the dark web, providing Jiang Yunqing's location.

Anyone could participate in this hunt; whoever could kill Jiang Yunqing would receive a huge reward from the Zhang family.

If he could take down her sister Jiang Lan along with her, a double kill of the sisters, then the reward would triple!

Unfortunately, Jiang Lan was still missing, and the Zhang family had no clues.

But being able to kill one, he was satisfied!

A lifetime of glory and wealth was right in front of him.

Enough for him alone, no, for his whole family.

Even, for his whole tribe to have no worries for the rest of their lives!

No longer needing to fight to the death in dungeons!
