145. Death Warrant (6K, 1/1)
The sky was dim and overcast.
The valley of Black Wastes was a mess of wreckage everywhere.
Broken stones and yellow mud sprawled at will, withered trees and wild weeds jumbled among them.
After the mountain tomb was broken open by the "Li Qi Ghost Bone Arm," many of the bricks and stones of the tombs that had sealed the demon were also wrapped up in mud and rock, churning up out of the ground.
Zhou Chang leaped and dodged across the slabs of mountain rock strewn amid the muddy yellow torrent, gradually approaching the deep, dark cave left behind in the center of the collapsed mountain tomb after the ghost-bone arm had retracted.
At that time she was still silently saying in her heart that this elder brother really knew how to behave, but now that she thought about it, Beauty Gu and that elder brother really were... extraordinarily... alike.
"I only just found out myself, Dean Song!" Lei Yunchun said with a bitter smile — he was telling the truth.
It was precisely because he had so many children that he simply could not discipline them all, which led to what happened afterward.
Although the village had electricity, the villagers still didn't know what satellite television was, let alone wireless internet.
Having finished speaking, Yun Yeyao gave Liu Hang a slight smile; Liu Hang, somewhat shy, said nothing and continued listening to his account.
"Angry?" Gu Chen stroked the head of An Xiaoxiao, who like a child was sulkily draped across his chest, smoothing her hair for her.
Gu Chen was seen closing his eyes as if he had thrown caution to the wind, taking a deep breath, and then uttering words that nearly made An Xiaoxiao choke on her own saliva.
"Don't panic — these stragglers may not be aimed at us." Xiao Rang swept his divine sense over the countless stragglers beginning to stir, and said in a low voice to Tong'er and the Emperor.
Susan vaguely sensed that Lian Shuo and the others must be doing something very dangerous, otherwise they wouldn't be so secretive. Cutting off every means of contact and sending Han Lianyi here was to keep her away from danger.
The encounters of life — what is meant to come cannot be avoided! Even if I think of nothing, it would be nothing more than deceiving myself.
Then Li Ningyu began to give orders: "First platoon is to hold Black Cliff Mountain — you must occupy every commanding height of the passage. The moment a foreign devil soldier appears, no need to ask for instructions — open fire immediately! But it's best to wait until the foreign devils get a little closer!"
"Senior brother, wait for me!" Zhong Qing had no desire to share a room with that lump, and immediately chased after him.
At the same moment, the four men who had been rushing toward Xiao Rang all stopped in their tracks; after a brief hesitation they turned around, and in the blink of an eye vanished without a trace.
After hearing what Chang Qing and I said, Qi Zhen was first dumbfounded, then kept shooting us both looks that were both aggrieved and uncomprehending. Ge Hong, contrary to her usual manner, said nothing, merely fixing Chang Qing and me with a strange, scrutinizing gaze.
When he uttered that word "death," Qiu Shaoze's entire being became sharp as an unsheathed peerless divine sword, and that awe-inspiring killing intent alone was enough to make many people halt in their tracks.
Then Duan Tong naturally helped Li Ningyu change clothes, but Li Ningyu was not idle either — perhaps to repay Duan Tong, he also helped her out of her garments along the way. Duan Tong's gentle movements, combined with her fingers trailing across Li Ningyu's skin, felt so good that Li Ningyu nearly cried out.
Although Wan'er had stayed by Li Ningyu's side for a very long time, in the end she had only shared a few shallow encounters with him; Li Ningyu had never swallowed her whole in one bite.
Her parents were still clinging to each other and weeping; her senior brother was out on campaign, little expecting that trouble had brewed behind his back — anyone in his place would not forgive so easily.
"Tell me — over these five years, where exactly did you go? What things did you encounter? Can you tell me?" Ji Shiqin looked at the youth with a pleading gaze.
"Brother Liu, don't rush — look over there!" At this moment the green-eyed man stopped One-Eye, but a strange glint flashed through his eyes as well; he had clearly noticed Tang Wanru, who was busy at work.
