Under such circumstances, if the key was still there, the others could easily subdue him and snatch the key away, easily taking away the things in the box.
In addition, no one knew the situation on the island better than Mr. Zhou.
This Island was full of danger, and it was very likely that the items they carried with them would be lost or worn out in the process of crossing the mountains.
Mr. Zhou had locked the box to his wrist before he came to the island, so it could be seen that song qingxiao’s speculation was not out of thin air.
This cunning Fox was only at ease after locking the box with him. It was impossible for him to have prepared another key. It was more likely that the keyhole was just a prop to confuse others.
The password was next to the keyhole, and the messed up numbers looked too deliberate. It felt like they were deliberately swaying to trick people.
If the password and the key were all fake, the lock of the box might be something else.
Thinking of this, emissary song Qing tried his best to calm down and began to search the box. He did not want to miss out on any part of it.
She touched the handle, four corners, front and back of the box again and again, but she didn’t find anything wrong. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.
If she delayed any longer, time would be of no use to her.
The trial-taker had already realized what was going on and would definitely give chase.
Although she would probably fall slower for the sake of safety, the time she had was limited.
This was especially true for number seven, who was very agile after shapeshifting. Climbing might be her strong suit. If she could not open the box as soon as possible, she would probably have to run away with the box.
However, he couldn’t take out the things inside as soon as possible. It was too cumbersome to carry this box.
Song qingxiao gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Just as she was having a headache, she looked at Mr. Zhou’s broken hand that she had thrown to the ground.
The wrist of the broken hand had been scratched by the lock, and it was a bloody mess. She then casually threw it to the side, which was stained with grass and mud.
But song qingxiao’s heart skipped a beat, and she picked up the hand.
She suddenly remembered a detail. After entering the island and before entering the forest, Zhou xueli had taken out a map of the route. When she unlocked the door, it was Zhou xueli who had held the electronic map in front of Mr. Zhou and used his fingerprint to unlock the door.
From this little detail, one could see Mr. Zhou’s character.
He was already like this for a map, not to mention an important box.
If she was Mr. Zhou, the box might contain something that could save her life.
She might also carry such an important box with her, in case she lost it.
She would not trust anyone else but herself to open the key to the box.
If the box was like an electronic map and used Mr. Zhou’s fingerprint as the lock, then the reason why there was no reaction when she touched the box earlier was probably because her fingerprint was wrong.
Song qingxiao thought of this and wiped the dirt off her broken hand on her broken coat.
The hand had just been chopped off, so the joints were still flexible and not completely stiff. During the process of her falling down the cliff, the box was well protected, and the fingerprints were not worn, so they were still clear.
She heaved a sigh of relief and closed her eyes.
If she was Mr. Zhou, carrying an important box, and didn’t trust anyone, the people around her might betray her at any time due to the environment.
He had to make sure that he could have the medicine with him at all times.
What kind of situation would allow him to open the box so easily and get the potion?
She bit the corner of her mouth and put Mr. Zhou’s broken wrist back into the handcuffs.
There was a chain between the box and her wrist. She blew two hot breaths at the fingertips of the broken hand, and after warming it up, she released her hand. The broken hand lost the support of her strength and fell down with a ‘bang’, and the fingertips just happened to touch the box.
The box that she had touched so many times without moving suddenly reacted when her hand suddenly dropped!
The place where the tip of his middle finger touched didn’t seem to be anything special at first, but as Mr. Zhou’s fingertip fell, a small screen about an inch in size instantly lit up.
It was indeed useful!
Song Qing was overjoyed when he saw the box move.
Perhaps it was because his palm had been chopped off and it was no longer a living fingerprint, the verification was not successful at the first moment.
At this moment, song qingxiao’s heart began to beat rapidly. She swallowed her saliva and stared at the electronic screen.
His fingers had been on it for a second, two seconds …
The scanned image was still there, but there was no sound of the lock opening.
Song qingxiao licked her lips, and her back began to sweat. She had not been this nervous even when she fell off the cliff.
Fortunately, after about three seconds, the scan was finally completed, and the electronic screen showed the English characters of successful verification. With a light ‘ka’ sound, the tightly locked box bounced open!
At this moment, song qingxiao felt as if she had been on a roller coaster. After the big ups and downs, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After the lid of the box popped open, the scene inside the box was revealed.
The box was not big, and it had long been filled with soft things to fix in place. In the middle was a small glass bottle about the size of a finger, and on top of it was a set of injection needles.
There were no ten doses of medicine like Mr. Zhou had said. He was indeed a liar!
Without hesitation, song qingxiao took out the transparent tube and the needle set.
Just as she was about to close the box, she inadvertently glanced at her toes, where half of the small snake was still hanging.
“Eh?”
She let out a soft cry. The thin snake that Mr. Zhou had thrown over did not die after being cut in half. The lower half fell on the side of the mountain wall, while the upper half bit her toes and did not let go after it died.
After she fell off the cliff, it also bit the tip of her shoe tightly. The scales on the snake’s body had fallen off during her climb, and it was badly mangled, revealing the broken bone in the middle.
When Mr. Zhou saw that she was bitten, he thought that she was dead for sure. However, he had to admit that song qingxiao’s luck was heaven-defying.
When the wolves attacked last night, one of her shoes had been bitten by the giant Wolf’s teeth. In order not to affect herself, she had taken off the shoe on the dead professor Gao Lei.
The shoe was slightly bigger than her feet. Number seven was happy that it didn’t fit her. Who knew that by chance, this shoe would save her life.
The tip of her shoe that the snake bit did not have her toe, but there was a section of it that was left empty.
She swung her leg and tried to shake the snake off, but something unexpected happened.
The snake, which should have been dead long ago, began to twist its half-broken body after she moved, trying to entangle her..
