Chapter 327: Ambush (1)
Translator: 549690339
Song Qing’s back was pressed against the ground. Her clothes absorbed the water mist on the ground, and together with the cold sweat on her body, they were firmly stuck to her body, making her shiver.
She turned over and half-knelt on the ground. The ‘long snake’ that emerged from the thick fog was still shooting straight at her. Song qingxiao supported herself with one hand on the ground and touched her waist with the other. She held the dagger in her palm and tilted her body at the same time.
The shadow brushed past her body. Before song qingxiao could even catch her breath, the thing was like a living snake. After missing her attack, it went around her arm and climbed up her back to the other side!
What made song qingxiao’s hair stand on end was that this thing seemed to be able to shrink freely. The thing that was stuck to her arm wrapped around her chest, as if it was going to tie her up!
Song qingxiao pursed her lips and held the dagger in front of her chest. The moment the long shadow was tightened, it was cut off by the sharp blade.
The cut part fell to the ground with a clatter, and the binding on song qingxiao’s body suddenly loosened. The long shadow sensed that something was wrong and seemed to want to shrink back.
At this point, song qingxiao would not let it escape. She grabbed the thing and wrapped it around her palm to prevent it from falling off. Then, she used her spiritual force and pulled it hard!
This thing looked like a rope, about two fingers thick, but it was slightly different from ordinary hemp rope. It didn’t have a rotten smell, but instead had the smell of grass and trees, like twisted vines and other things.
Spiritual energy was sent out from her palm and froze the vine. With a tug, song qingxiao immediately pulled out the ‘person’ who was holding the other end of the vine.
From the front left, there were two heavy footsteps. A huge figure fell out of the thick fog. Song Qing jumped up and cut the ‘person’s’ neck with his dagger.
“Don’t!” In the dark, number three’s panicked voice rang out,”
“It’s me,” he said.
From the moment she tried to ambush song qingxiao to the moment she failed and was discovered by song qingxiao, number three did not even have the time to throw away the vine in her hand before she was dragged out.
This inevitably made her both shocked and afraid, and she hurriedly spoke at the critical moment.
As she spoke, her hands touched each other, and several thin vines drilled out of the ceramic floor. Song qingxiao landed on the ground and stood under these two thin vines.
Just as the vine was about to climb up her ankle and wrap around her, number three smirked. But in the next moment, in the darkness, song qingxiao seemed to have a pair of eyes on her feet. She tiptoed slightly and moved her heel, stepping on two young seedlings. With a hard roll, the two seedlings that had just broken out of the soil were rolled into a pool of mud.
Number three’s smile froze. She instinctively threw away the cane and wanted to step back. However, before she could land, a soft and slender body pressed against her back. Song Qing’s hand that was holding the cane wrapped around her neck, forcing her to look up. Number three felt a dagger against her throat.
Through the thick layer of skin, her blood vessels began to throb. Song Qing’s cold voice rang in her ears,”
“Don’t move,”
“Don’t kill me.”
Number three’s heart sank. She did not expect her sneak attacks to fail one after another in the dark. Not only did she fail the first time, but the second time, the vine did not stop song qingxiao either. Even if it had stopped her for a moment, she would not have been in such a passive position.
What made her feel the most uneasy was that song qingxiao had used some kind of weapon to cut off her vines. The vines were driven by her spiritual power, and ordinary weapons would not even be able to leave a mark on the vines, but she had cut them off and escaped in an instant.
“Don’t kill me.” Number three was currently being controlled by someone else and was extremely terrified. He repeated himself, this time with a pleading tone.
The trial space encouraged the participants to kill each other, and song Qing would get points if she killed her.
In all fairness, if song qingxiao had switched positions with number three, number three would not have hesitated to kill her. After she had finished speaking, she closed her palms again and activated her spiritual power. The dagger quietly pierced through her fat skin as if it was cutting a piece of tender tofu.
Song qingxiao’s voice was flat as she reminded him,”
“I said, don’t move.”
Number three felt a sharp pain in his throat, and a chill spread from the tip of the blade to his limbs and bones.
The dagger seemed to be frozen, and an extremely cold and unfamiliar aura penetrated through her flesh and blood into number three’s meridians. She subconsciously trembled, and the spiritual power that she had just accumulated was immediately thrown into chaos.
He loosened his hand seal, and a green seedling that had just emerged from his palm fell down silently.
“I’m not moving, I’m not moving.”
At this point, number three knew that he was like a fish on an anvil in song Qing’s hands.
She could hear the coldness in song qingxiao’s tone and didn’t dare to make any extra small movements.
“Don’t kill me…”
When No. 2 and song qingxiao came in, she had just come down from the safety stairs to the first floor. She heard the noise and hid in a corner.
Song qingxiao and No. 2 were obviously on the same side for this mission. They went in and out together, and their identities seemed to be related to the guard Department. They might have obtained more clues than her and had already privately mentioned cooperation.
She was alone, and the situation was obviously not in her favor.
Therefore, when song qingxiao bent down to touch the ground, she was only one or two meters away from her. At that time, number three already had an evil intention.
Her plan was to Capture One person, ask about the mission, kill them, and earn points.
Of the three trial-takers, number three was the most wary of number two.
Just like song qingxiao, she could tell that No. 2 was not someone to be trifled with. However, she did not expect song qingxiao to be just as bad.
Her special ability had never failed to launch a sneak attack. Some people could tell that something was wrong, but once they were entangled by her vines, it was extremely difficult to escape. However, they did not expect song qingxiao’s dagger to easily cut her vines in one move.
At this time, number three was feeling depressed and a little nervous. If he had known this would happen, he would have attacked that man much less than song Qing.
“What are you waiting for?”
Number three’s original plan to extort a confession had failed, and now that he was being forced to do so, it was hard for him to express his feelings. Hearing her question, he said,”
“I went downstairs to intercept the person who came to kill Qin Heng.”
Her life was still in song qingxiao’s hands, so she did not dare to be smart and beat around the bush, afraid that she would anger song qingxiao.
But what made number three feel slightly relieved was that the dagger didn’t stab into his flesh anymore.
Her words meant that Qin Heng had indeed returned home.
Song Qingxin’s heart skipped a beat. She loosened the dagger in her hand and pulled it out of number three’s neck. The wound was like a baby’s small mouth, and it took a long time for blood to drip out.
When she and number 2 chased after her, they did not find any traces of Chu ke.
From the last time she got through to Qin Heng’s phone, to when she asked Captain Shen where Chu ke’s phone was and guessed that Chu ke had ‘resurrected’, Chu ke’s actions were faster than them by a few minutes.
When they arrived at the district, the death of the guard proved that Chu ke had returned.
In his sea of consciousness, the mission did not change. It still showed:The dead Qin feichu.
[ mission completion: 3000 points. Obliteration if mission failed! ]
This meant that even if Qin Heng was not dead, once Chu ke returned, he would be in an extremely dangerous situation!
Number three was the first to notice the fluctuation in her mood. She immediately noticed it when he released his dagger. He did not give up and grabbed her waist and put it into her pocket.
Song qingxiao’s pocket was full of water, as if it was filled with ice that had just melted. It was so cold that number three shivered. When she reached her hand in, her fingertips just happened to brush off a piece of broken ice. Something inside the thin piece of ice seemed to have gotten out of bed and moved slightly.
However, number three did not have the time to think about it. She was about to launch another sneak attack, and it was possible that she would succeed in taking revenge for song Qing’s counterattack. Thinking of this, number three could not help but show a proud smile. A green seedling grew out of her palm and grew a few centimeters in the blink of an eye. Just as it was about to pierce through song Qing’s clothes, her palm was suddenly pierced by something..
