Chapter 124 You Are Really Not Taboo
Chapter 124: You really don't hold back on your diet, huh?
"No matter what, Xiaozhi, you can't do such dangerous things anymore," Chen Runyu said seriously, still feeling a bit scared when she thought back to it.
How could Xiaozhi be so reckless? If her sneak attack had failed and that fierce woman had caught her, she could have lost her life.
But luckily, she was fortunate enough not to be discovered.
Seeing how easily Chen Runyu was fooled by Zi Mian, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Runyu was so easy to deceive, and all Zi Mian needed to do was deceive her in person.
Zhang Chi was completely on their side. Not only would he not expose Zi Mian's lie, but he would also help cover it up.
Only by keeping Zi Mian reasonably close to Chen Runyu could he reasonably keep Zi Mian close to himself.
Seeing that they had already settled their conversation, Zhang Chi interjected, "What's the deal with this person? Tell me about it."
Zhang Chi asked, and Chen Runyu eagerly recounted what had happened earlier.
She enjoyed sharing with Zhang Chi, and when she told stories, her tone rose and fell, with a clear rhythm that made people feel like they were there.
"...In any case, this wicked woman not only stole our food, but also came back to bully us. She's really pushing her luck."
"She's truly shameless."
Zhang Chi caught a hint of a similar aura.
If he were in charge, he would probably do the same thing.
Of course, his more likely choice would be not to be in charge.
In this kind of battle royale situation, having too many people in the group was not a good thing.
The more people there were, the more likely there were to be traitors.
You never knew how many traitors were hiding in the group. People's hearts were unpredictable, and there were countless people who would abandon their principles for personal gain.
Zhang Chi was even cautious of Chen Runyu, who was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, let alone the others.
With the strength of the Ghost-faced Axe King, she could easily be a lone wolf and didn't need to bring along a group of burdens. Although these people were considered elite, their help to her was very limited.
In the previous ordinary fights, having more people could still be effective, but after the appearance of the Daoist fragments, high-end combat power was the key to victory.
If she were to gather some lackeys to help collect the fragments, it wouldn't be very realistic.
No one would willingly hand over their chance to become a Daoist to someone else. If she dared to demand it, the group would disband in minutes.
Moreover, Zhang Chi had a faint feeling that these fragments had some evil nature to them, capable of arousing desires in people's hearts. This was the main reason he was wary of Chen Runyu.
In case Chen Runyu's heart wasn't firm and she made a mistake for the sake of a fragment, he had countermeasures.
With the Ghost-faced Axe King's strength, she shouldn't have trouble detecting any signs. If that's the case, why did she insist on bringing a group of people along? Could it be for charity?
Even if she were charitable, she wouldn't have robbed others of their food and then come back to eliminate them.
Those who follow the natural order prosper, while those who go against it perish.
Her intentions were not clear for the time being, but there was definitely a purpose.
He could ask for clarification when they investigated later.
After much consideration, Zhang Chi had made up his mind and said, "If the food is lost, it's lost. We still have reserves. This place is no longer safe. Let's move to another location and set up camp."
"Okay."
Zhang Chi was the absolute backbone, and wherever he said to go, they would go.
The group packed up their belongings and began to retreat. Outside the forest, however, Luolu became nervous.
"It's been such a long time, and Miss hasn't returned. She might be in trouble."
With this thought, Luolu couldn't sit still anymore.
She said to the others, "Miss hasn't come back yet. I'll go find her. You all stay here and set up camp, be careful and stay on guard."
Everyone agreed, and Luolu went to search for the traces from earlier.
The fog had already dissipated, and Luolu arrived at the place where the battle had taken place. Seeing the shattered axe, her heart sank.
Weapons are gone, indicating that the battle at that time must have been extremely fierce.
There are some bloodstains nearby, indicating that someone must have been injured.
Who got injured?
Green Luo smelled a familiar scent.
"I didn't expect a small border area of Western State to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. This is troublesome."
Following the traces, Green Luo tracked them all the way. Halfway through the pursuit, the clues disappeared, leaving only a mess and chaos, clearly deliberately destroyed by someone.
With Zhang Chi's counter-reconnaissance awareness, it was naturally impossible to leave any traces.
Green Luo tracked up to this point and did not find any trace of her young miss, sinking into despair.
Her young miss must have been captured, probably facing death. It couldn't be that she was taken advantage of, right?
Green Luo was quite reassured about the appearance of the Axe King with a Ghost Face. Her young miss looked safe.
However...
At this moment, even the Axe King with a Ghost Face was doubting life.
Is my approach wrong?
After moving to a new camp, Zhang Chi sent Zi Mian and Chen Runyu away.
Even Bai Su followed them.
Zhang Chi's explanation was that as newcomers to the camp, it was not very safe here. For future exploration, they needed the three of them to act together, while he stayed at the camp to guard the supplies and prisoners.
Zi Mian and Chen Runyu didn't suspect anything. They couldn't bear to look at the Axe King's appearance, and they didn't think in that direction.
You see, with one big and one small girl here, as long as Zhang Chi wanted to take action, it wouldn't be difficult to devour them.
Chen Runyu was a professional pushover, and Zi Mian was just a servant, unable to resist orders.
Even the Axe King with a Ghost Face didn't think she was in danger.
When she woke up, she found herself weak all over, probably poisoned. She pretended to be asleep silently, planning to wait for the drug to wear off and then make a secret escape.
But she didn't expect that while she was pretending to sleep, a thin cloth was placed over her face, and then a big hand reached into her clothes, seemingly searching for something.
The Axe King with a Ghost Face felt ants crawling on her body. She knew that Zhang Chi was looking for her fragments of Daoist techniques.
In victory or defeat, she lost, and it was reasonable for Zhang Chi to take away those fragments.
However, this hand!
"What are you doing!"
The Axe King with a Ghost Face couldn't pretend anymore. She was weak all over, but she struggled hard and weakly grabbed Zhang Chi.
"It's good that you're awake. It's more effective to be awake." Zhang Chi didn't feel embarrassed at all. He acted as if he was eating and drinking, making the Axe King with a Ghost Face furious.
"A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated. Are you so desperate for pleasure that you can even lay hands on an ugly woman like me?"
Appearance was the topic the Axe King with a Ghost Face least wanted to discuss. She came from a noble background and originally had a bright future. But because of her face, she was ridiculed and abandoned by her family, enduring decades of humiliation.
Over the years, she had also experienced a lot of soul-searching.
Are others afraid of my ugliness?
Fine, then I'll scare you to death.
Originally, she could wear a mask to conceal herself, but she refused to do so. Whenever she was outside, she never concealed her appearance.
When others looked at her, she deliberately made herself look even uglier in return.
This was also her way of fighting back.
Instead of waiting for others to humiliate her, she would rather intimidate others first.
If she could make people so disgusted that they couldn't eat, then she would consider herself the winner.
But she never expected that one day she would use this method to protect herself...
Something came up, two more chapters first.
