Chapter 228: Waiting by the Stump for a Rabbit

Snow White Vivian was not converted by Tang Luo.

She was merely knocked unconscious by Tang Luo and fell into a coma-like sleep.

Since the "Seven Dwarfs" have nothing to do with the Seven Deadly Sins, it is still possible that one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the "famous figure," is the prince in the story.

According to the plot development, near the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White, who ate the poisoned apple, will encounter that prince.

Then she will be awakened by the prince's kiss.

Thus, some people speculate that the prince might be a necrophile, with solid reasoning, making it convincing.

Tang Luo decided to wait here for that neighboring country's prince, wait for a period of time, and see if he could meet him—he was not in a hurry to complete the task as quickly as possible.

After entering the mission world, the missing dog Xiao Tianquan, Tang Luo also did not worry too much.

As a mature dog, with Xiao Tianquan's strength, if he encountered danger and could not fight it off, self-preservation would be no problem.

Xiao Tianquan is also not a Husky; he would not run around recklessly and put himself in danger.

As for why Tang Luo would wait instead of actively searching,

he also had some thoughts in mind: if the neighboring country's prince is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, then he should also have a demonic walker beside him to help him fulfill his wish.

What would the prince's wish be?

Tang Luo estimated it would be related to Snow White, and the demonic walker beside him would most likely urge the prince to go search for Snow White.

If the speculation is correct, Tang Luo has a high probability of waiting for that unnamed neighboring country's prince.

If he cannot wait, then Tang Luo might have guessed wrong, proving that the neighboring country's prince has nothing to do with the Seven Deadly Sins.

Simply put, it is just a case of waiting by the stump for a rabbit, spending a little time.

If he waits, he gains; if he does not wait, he loses nothing.

When Tang Luo took over the magpie's nest and occupied the Seven Dwarfs' base, Aemireda, who had separated from him, also encountered danger.

It was not the danger of being monitored by Zeus's Eye, with vision occupied by death, but real and tangible danger.

Around Aemireda, there was a circle of vehicles surrounding her, preventing her escape.

There were nine carriages in total, each with a driver.

These nine drivers were not the source of danger.

The carriages themselves were, and within the encirclement, there were still two people.

One was a man riding a tall white horse.

Dressed primarily in gold, extremely luxurious attire, with golden hair, tall and handsome, his face bearing a gentle and warm smile, like the sun on the horizon.

He was now sitting on the horse, one hand holding the reins, the other lightly stroking his chin, gazing at Aemireda, his eyes full of admiration.

Beside the man, there was also a somewhat smaller brown horse, on which sat another man.

Western facial features, with a head of brown-black hair covering down, eye sockets somewhat sunken, surrounding dark circles obvious, giving the impression of "too tired to love again."

Compared to the tall, handsome, sun-god-like man beside him, he was far inferior by more than just a little.

Like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce and bite at any moment.

Or rather, he had already bitten Aemireda once.

One can see that Aemireda's right hand completely hangs limp at her side, the exposed skin already pitch black, half her body already numb.

"Isn't she?" the tall golden-haired man asked, looking at Aemireda.

"No, Snow White is someone else."

"That's already not bad." The tall golden-haired man laughed, "Now I'm actually becoming more and more curious about what exactly the Snow White you mentioned looks like."

"More beautiful than the Queen of Tausent, the most beautiful woman, will not disappoint you." The black-haired man said, "This person, I will kill."

"Good, good." The golden-haired man nodded while laughing.

The relationship between demonic walkers and mission targets.

There are those like Tang Luo, where the demonic walker completely occupies the initiative, suppressing the target so it can barely breathe, only able to follow the demonic walker's pace.

There are those like Rudolf, who instead suppress the demonic walker.

Naturally, there are also cases where the two are roughly equal in strength, cooperating with each other.

Sneik and the neighboring country's prince Gladstone are such a relationship, with shared goals, each taking what they need.

Now, their "need" before them is Aemireda.

Sneik wants to kill Aemireda to obtain the skill on her body—demonic walkers killing each other have a certain probability of "dropping" skills.

"Don't resist, I can let you die without too much pain." Sneik looked at Aemireda, as if he had already devoured her.

The situation on the field, Aemireda has already been poisoned, and her surroundings are again surrounded by Gladstone's carriages.

Inside the carriages, then, are Gladstone's dangerous collections.

Already unable to fly with wings, unless Aemireda can fly through the earth and hide, she might possibly escape—temporarily escape.

Having been poisoned by Sneik's toxin, she cannot escape far.

"Your way of persuading surrender is really terrible." Aemireda forced a smile.

"Why bother with meaningless struggling?" Sneik's eyes suddenly revealed a pile of vertical pupils, cold and merciless, like a snake's pupils.

"As for me..." Aemireda laughed, "Actually, my other abilities are just average, it's just that my self-preservation ability is relatively strong."

Speaking, her body actually began to become illusory and transparent.

Sneik raised his hand, a black aura burst from his palm, twisting and lunging toward Aemireda, but it directly lunged at nothing, passing through Aemireda's body and dissipating in midair.

The ground where Aemireda originally stood sank downward, forming a small pit.

She really does have the ability to "earth escape."

"Did she run away?" Gladstone said, "Really a pity, originally I could have played with her for a few days."

"Can she run away?" Sneik's face showed a hint of a cold smile, "Maybe she will still lead the way."

Why would a demonic walker appear in this forest region? Obviously, he has his own purpose.

In this mission world, the greatest possibility is related to Snow White.

Of course, Snoke didn't intentionally let the other party go; Amiretta escaping was something he didn't anticipate.

Unfortunately, she could only escape temporarily.

Amiretta staggered up and down, forcibly dragging her half-numb body toward where Tang Luo was.

Through Zeus's Eye, she could roughly determine a direction, confirming that her current position was correct.

Whether she could be caught again by those behind and find Tang Luo, Amiretta herself had no idea.

Amiretta believed that the demonic wanderer must have other means and wouldn't be so easily shaken off.

Suddenly, after exerting all her strength to move forward, Amiretta stumbled, fell to the ground, rolled several times, and barely managed to stand up.

She turned her head, looking toward where she had fallen.

There, a small cat was slowly rising to its feet, staring at her with wide eyes, looking utterly clueless.

If filmed and posted online, it would surely cause a crowd to scream, wildly sucking in cat videos.

"Wild cat, no……" Amiretta's heart slowly sank.

Encountering a wild cat that could trip her in this forest was certainly not a good omen.

The Heavenly Hound looked at Amiretta, its nostrils flaring slightly, then trotted over with light steps, sniffing her.

Amiretta shrank her body, trying to gently push the Heavenly Hound with her still-movable left hand.

The Heavenly Hound remained unmoved, pushed aside Amiretta's hand, and barked at her: "Woof!"

Amiretta's expression suddenly froze—what was happening? What had she just heard?

A cat had barked "Woof" at her?

"A demon beast! If it's a demon beast, then it's perfectly normal." Amiretta thought to herself, trying to convince herself.

For a demon beast, a cat making a dog's sound is entirely reasonable.

Perhaps this demon beast looks like a cat but is actually a dog, hence the bark.

Completely fine.

"Meow."

Seeing Amiretta unresponsive, the Heavenly Hound meowed again.

Now Amiretta was utterly baffled—was this a cat or a dog?

Or perhaps it's a unique creature of this mission world—a cat-dog beast?

Before Amiretta could figure out what was going on, the Heavenly Hound leapt onto her face, placing its forepaws on her cheeks and pressing its head against hers.

"You have his scent on you. Take me to find him."

Amiretta then heard a voice transmit into her mind—clear, pleasant, with a hint of wildness.

"Is it you speaking?" Amiretta widened her eyes.

"Hurry up and take me." The Heavenly Hound urged, "You foolish humans, you can't even tell 'woof woof woof' from 'meow meow meow'—don't you know how exhausting this communication is?"

"Take me where?" Amiretta wanted to cry but had no tears, "And who is he?"

Being hunted, still not truly free of danger, and now encountering a strange, dangerous cat.

What kind of situation is this?

If I had known, I wouldn't have left—I would have just followed that Tang Sanzang master and passed the time.

"A white-haired, extremely violent monk, barely count as a good person." The Heavenly Hound "said".

Front and back don't match—extremely violent yet still a good person?

But Amiretta reacted quickly, immediately thinking of Tang Luo: "You mean Master Tang Sanzang?"

The Heavenly Hound jumped back to the ground, nodded, and impatiently waved its paws to urge her on.

"I'm currently being hunted……" Amiretta said, "I can't move fast, and there's still danger."

The Heavenly Hound tilted its head, its cat face showing a human-like expression of contempt, making Amiretta feel awful—she was being looked down on by a cat.

Well, it's basic operation for a cat master to look down on a litter scooper.

A pair of upright ears twitched; the Heavenly Hound looked in a direction, and soon after, a rustling sound came from that side.

It sounded like trees continuously falling, from far to near, approaching quickly.

"They're here!"

Amiretta got up, leaning on a tree with her half-numb body, the poison on her body becoming even more fierce than before.

She sighed inwardly.

Even without this strange cat blocking her, she wouldn't last long before being caught again before finding Tang Sanzang.

Slender jade hands, carrying terrifying power, tore open all obstacles before her, emerging from behind the thicket.

Amiretta turned her head and saw a woman excessively beautiful, exquisitely crafted—not like a real person, more like a doll—stiffly stepping out from behind the thicket.

Behind her followed two horses, one in front, one behind—exactly the prince Glaston and the demonic wanderer Snoke who had caught up.
