After song qingxiao climbed up, she leaned against the cliff and panted.
The moment Mr. Zhou let go, he lost the protection he could rely on. He was shocked and his hands instinctively clenched.
His luck was pretty good. As his hands fumbled around, he lifted the locked silver suitcase and threw it up. It hit the tree with a ‘clang’ and slid down with a ‘whoosh’, the chain hanging in the middle of the branch.
When Mr. Zhou was falling again, the silver suitcase moved horizontally and got stuck in the tree.
With a clang after the chain was tightened, it stopped Mr. Zhou’s sliding speed.
“All…” Although Mr. Zhou’s body had stabilized, he still let out a heart-wrenching scream.
He locked the box to his wrist. After the box was stuck, his body slid down from the moss.
The bones of the wrist could not bear this weight, and the bones between the wrists made a chilling tearing sound. From the skin between the wrists, the broken bones could be clearly seen.
The lock slid to the bones of his palm and got stuck. A large piece of his skin was peeled off, and blood slowly oozed out from the tender white flesh, rolling down.
“All ah ah…”
Just by looking at the injury, one could imagine the intense pain.
Mr. Zhou’s face instantly turned as pale as a sheet of gold paper, and he almost fainted from the severe pain.
His body began to Twitch uncontrollably, but with a strong will to live, he still screamed a few times and began to crawl up with trembling legs, trying to relieve the pressure on his hand.
He took deep breaths and broke out in a cold sweat. After a few steps, his feet scraped off some of the moss on the ground and he finally climbed up nearly ten centimeters.
The taut chain bent down, and the box stuck in the middle of the treetops had room to maneuver before falling down again with a clang.
He trembled as he crawled to the tree, but he no longer had any strength. The pain made his movements stiff and slow.
The box was still stuck in the middle of the treetops. His arm was on the chain, and his palm was hanging down at an abnormal angle, as if he had lost all feeling.
Blood flowed down his wrist. Mr. Zhou tried several times to lift his other hand to take the box down, but every time he raised his arm, it seemed to pull on his wound. After several times, his snot and tears flew out as if he had exhausted all his strength. He had to carefully adjust his body and sit with his back against the treetop. He looked at song qingxiao, who was sitting on the side of the cliff, vigilantly.
At this moment, Mr. Zhou could not maintain his dignity as a rich man at all. His face was blue, and his lips were trembling because of the pain.
His hair was soaked in sweat and stuck to his scalp and cheeks.
His entire body trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with maliciousness and killing intent.
After the two of them were temporarily safe, they had the opportunity to check out the surrounding environment.
This was one of the sides of the cliff, about two meters long and quite narrow, about 70 to 80 centimeters in distance.
The place wasn’t big and could be scanned with one glance.
The top was not stable. It was inclined and covered with moss. There was an unknown short tree growing on the edge of the cliff. The tree was not tall, but the main branch was very thick and firmly rooted in the cracks of the cliff.
It was for this reason that when she and Mr. Zhou fell, they were lucky enough to hit the tree and break the branch, but they were still blocked by the tree and fell onto the narrow platform, temporarily saving Mr. Zhou’s life.
The crown of the tree wasn’t dense, and many branches had been broken, making it even sparser.
There were some unknown red berries on the tree, each about the size of a longan and extremely gorgeous.
Mr. Zhou leaned against the tree. Because song Qing’s eyes were still trembling, the broken branches and leaves on the treetops made a rustling sound because of his movements.
Song qingxiao was sitting with her back against the cliff, gasping for breath.
She could feel Mr. Zhou’s gaze, but she ignored it for the time being. Instead, she picked up the dagger and looked at it.
The handle of the dagger was slightly warm, but what surprised her was that the tip of the dagger was not damaged at all.
Earlier, in order to slow down her falling body, she had stabbed the dagger into the cliff. When Mr. Zhou fell down and caught her, the force of their fall dragged the dagger down.
When the dagger’s tip had made contact with the stone, it had made a piercing sound and sparks had been flying everywhere. Even under such circumstances, the dagger had not been damaged. What was the origin of this dagger?
She was panting, her expression uncertain.
What he could be sure of at the moment was that this dagger was extraordinary. Such an item was not something that ordinary people could possess.
However, if this dagger was extremely special, then the person who had it back then must have been no ordinary person.
He was born into an ordinary family and only had his mother to depend on. Other than having a father with a criminal record, there was nothing else worth paying attention to. Why was he killed in the first place?
She didn’t have any enemies and had been following the rules since she was young. Was it a coincidence? Or was it an accident? was it just that the person had a sudden impulse to kill someone, and he just happened to run into it?
Several thoughts flashed through song Qing’s mind in an instant. Before he had time to think about it carefully, he heard the sound of clothes being groped.
She raised her head vigilantly. Such a small movement was enough to scare Mr. Zhou out of his wits.
He harbored killing intent towards these cultivators. They had outstanding skills and unknown origins. They knew each other and were likely to be an organized group.
This time, after he had achieved his goal, he wanted to kill them to silence them.
Song qingxiao should be well aware of this.
If Wolf one and the others were by his side when there were many people, Mr. Zhou would naturally be fearless.
However, now that the two of them had fallen into the same place at the same time, with no one else beside them, song Qing’s every move was enough to make Mr. Zhou tremble in fear.
this woman has great strength and can’t be underestimated, he swallowed his saliva, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. His hands trembled as he slowly reached into his clothes.
Song qingxiao didn’t miss Mr. Zhou’s subtle movements. She pursed her lips and looked at Mr. Zhou, then at the box he hung on the treetop.
As soon as she stared at him, Mr. Zhou’s scalp tightened, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. Seeing that song qingxiao was about to get up, his face twitched like a frightened quail.
“Sit down!”
As he spoke, he touched his chest as if he had found his backbone.
“Sit down!” The consecutive encounters seemed to have broken Mr. Zhou’s calm, and he quickly changed his mind.”Return to your previous position!”
He took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at song qingxiao. Even though he looked terrible, he forced a sly and proud smile.
“Kneel down and turn your back to me. Be good.”
At this time, with his back facing him, it was no different from courting death.
Of course, song qingxiao would not do that. She even laughed when she heard Mr. Zhou’s words.
This laugh seemed to have angered Mr. Zhou. His face first showed anger, and then it turned into ruthlessness.
“Hmph …” He endured the pain, and every sentence seemed to be difficult to say.
“I didn’t want to kill you so early.”
His eyes were cold, but now…
Before Mr. Zhou could finish his sentence, a branch on the treetop behind him seemed to come to life. It bent down quietly and rested on Mr. Zhou’s shoulder. It opened its mouth with a hiss and flicked out its bright red tongue.
In the face of life and death, people had incredible keenness, and Mr. Zhou was no exception.
Just as he was about to kill song qingxiao, his scalp went numb. The sound of the wind, his heartbeat, and his breathing were all mixed together. He keenly caught the subtle ‘hiss’ and instinctively turned his head. He happened to see the thin snake that had sneaked up on his shoulder..
