Even though No. 1 and No. 7 had expected this, their hearts sank when they saw the traces left by song qingxiao. They could no longer smile.
This woman was really difficult to deal with!
The same thought appeared in the two’s minds at the same time. After a moment of silence, they leaned together.
“She won’t be able to go far.”
Once again, number seven confirmed his previous guess. He lowered his head and looked at the barren ground. His nose trembled slightly,”
“There’s the smell of blood in the air.”
After transforming into her beast form, not only did she become more sensitive in terms of her movements, but her sense of smell was also much stronger than number one’s.
After number seven finished speaking, number one’s face couldn’t help but reveal a happy expression. There was the smell of blood, which meant that song Qing might have been injured when she fell!
This news made him feel excited. Number seven saw his expression, but he didn’t say anything.
“Let’s catch up first!”
Number one squatted down and scanned the ground. Finally, his eyes landed under a big tree. There were traces of someone stepping on it. On the green leaves that were swaying left and right, number one sharply noticed a few drops of blood that had been spatted out. They had already dried up.
Song qingxiao must have stopped at such a place and escaped not long ago. Because she was worried that other trial-takers would come after her, she left in a hurry and didn’t even have time to erase the clues she left behind.
Number seven had also noticed the few drops of blood. Although he felt that something was a little strange, his longing for the box prevailed, so he still nodded.
This place had been deserted for more than a decade, and wild grass grew wantonly, almost covering the entire forest.
Under such circumstances, it was not difficult to find song qingxiao. Every footprint she left behind was very eye-catching. They just had to follow the grass that had been stepped on.
The two of them walked together with high concentration, afraid that song qingxiao would hide in front and set an ambush.
Due to the experimental pollution on the island, not only had the genes of the animals changed dramatically, but even the plants and water sources were also infected.
Those trees were unusually large, and their thick stolons were like tentacles, weaving between each tree, increasing the difficulty of the two people’s search.
About ten minutes later, number one’s face gradually revealed an impatient expression. He turned to look at number seven and was about to say something when he saw number Seven’s serious expression. The moment he was about to speak, number seven made a ‘keep quiet’ gesture and turned his head.
The pair of furry ears on her head twitched as if she had heard something.
After a while, she seemed to have confirmed it. She stretched out her claw and pointed in a direction, mouthing to number one,”
He had found her!
Number one was overjoyed at first, but then his pupils shrank. After number seven confirmed song qingxiao’s location, he felt his hair stand on end. He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect.
He looked in the direction that number seven was pointing at. There was a withered tree. The trunk was so thick that two people might not be able to hold it completely. The tree was wrapped in roots that had drilled out of the ground. It had already rotted and was growing with mushrooms.
The roots of the tree were covered by wild grass that was half the height of a person. If song qingxiao had escaped here due to her injuries, this would probably be the best place to hide.
The two of them split up and slowly approached the tree.
A cool breeze blew over, causing the leaves and grass to rustle.
Through the gaps between the swaying grass, number seven felt her hair stand on end. She seemed to have sensed that song qingxiao was hiding in the grass, watching her prey vigilantly like a cheetah!
Number seven couldn’t help but chuckle at the sudden thought.
She was currently working together with number one, so how could she be the prey?
No matter how he looked at it, song qingxiao was the one who had escaped first. She was alone and had the biochemical drug that both number one and he wanted to snatch. Her situation was much more dangerous than the two of them.
If it was a prey, it should be her.
There was a faint smell of blood in the surroundings. Number seven could even faintly hear the sound of a heart beating in addition to his and number one’s breathing and heartbeat.
Even though song qingxiao tried her best to suppress her breathing, her heartbeat and the smell of blood could not be hidden.
The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Number seven was more and more certain of song qingxiao’s existence. She believed that song qingxiao must have known that number one and she had arrived.
What was she thinking at this moment?
Number seven couldn’t help but smile. When she was about four or five meters away from the dead tree, she suddenly stopped.
Seeing her stop, number one did not know what was going on, but he also stopped.
Song qingxiao, who was hiding in the grass, squinted his eyes when he saw the two people chasing after him.
It’s finally here! She had been waiting for a long time.
The medicine bottle hidden at her waist was pressed against her skin. She held the box in her arms and held the dagger in one hand.
She had to deal with this well. Although the box had to be ‘sent’ out, she had to pay attention to the method of ‘sending’ it out.
“Number five, come out. I’ve found you.”
No. 7 took a deep breath. Her eyes fell on the bottom of the tree covered by the grass. There was a pair of eyes peeking at the two of them hidden in the moving grass. Following her words, the person’s heart beat wildly twice, followed by a rapid and rhythmical ‘Dong Dong’ sound.
As she spoke, she exchanged a look with number one in the distance, and the two of them slowly moved closer to the tree.
Song qingxiao was a ruthless character. Even though she was injured, she could still run such a long distance despite her injuries. She was not to be underestimated.
If they were to act rashly and advance greedily, not only would they not gain any benefits, they might even suffer losses in her hands.
The three of them knew very well what it meant to be injured at such a critical moment in their mission.
Number seven and number one seemed to be dragging their feet on the ground. At this time, they were not only on guard against song qingxiao, but also on guard against the other party’s tricks.
Time passed by, and there was no movement in the grass.
About two to three minutes later, from the time No. 7 finished shouting, the two of them had only moved forward by less than half a meter.
Number seven frowned. Seeing number one’s cautious look, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
“Number five, why are you still hiding?”
She called out again. At the same time, she sneered at number one, who was slowly wriggling forward. She said with a fake smile,”
“If you still don’t come out, we’ll go over.”
After he shouted this, there was still no movement in the grass.
Song qingxiao calmly looked at the two people who were good at singing, unmoved.
She could hear that number seven was getting anxious. He was not on the same page as number one, and the box was in someone else’s hands.
Not to mention that the longer she delayed with number one, the more likely number three would catch up with her.
No!
No. 3 might have caught up to them. Her special ability made her seem like an untraceable ghost. She was probably hiding in any possible corner, coldly watching the scene.
Number Seven’s mind was in a mess after his anxiety, so he didn’t notice number one’s hidden worry.
He had the nine-word secret order with him. Logically speaking, the moment he used the secret technique, his body was like an iron wall and he shouldn’t be afraid.
However, at this moment, he was on guard. This proved that his special ability wasn’t endless.
When song qingxiao thought of this, she pursed her lips and smiled.
Number Seven’s patience ran out, and he said sternly,”
“Number one, what are you still waiting for?” There was some dissatisfaction in her words, and she jokingly mocked,”
“Are you waiting for number 3?”
Perhaps this joke wasn’t funny, number one was triggered. He frowned and mumbled,”
“As solid as a rock, solid!”
With a surge of golden light, his entire body shot out like an arrow from a bow, pouncing in song qingxiao’s direction.
The moment he made his move, he had made up his mind to use his secret skill to snatch the box and escape..
