… …
At the crack in the mountain ridge, the others had already slid down the vine rope. Outside the crack, only Li Xinghua and the Yin Spiritualist girl Shi Meirou remained.
The Yin Spiritualist girl's light purple eyes were focused on Li Xinghua with a curious expression.
"Elder sister, are all the girls outside as pretty as elder sister?" The Yin Spiritualist girl Shi Meirou asked.
"Have you never walked out of the Pear Blossom Ravine?" Li Xinghua asked.
The mountain ridge was desolate. There weren't many trees in the surroundings. Therefore, if any dangerous creatures were to approach, they would be able to see them immediately.
The Yin Spiritualist girl shook her head and said, "Grandmother never allowed me to leave. Even when I walked out of the stronghold, she would scold me."
"Was she very strict with you?" Li Xinghua calmly conversed with the Yin Spiritualist girl.
"Mn, she was extremely strict. She didn't allow me to tell others that I could see Yin Spirits. She also didn't allow me to communicate with those wandering Yin Spirits. She repeatedly instilled the idea that all the Yin Spirits I saw were illusions." The Yin Spiritualist girl nodded.
"You actually didn't like grandmother that much, right?" Li Xinghua said.
The Yin Spiritualist girl didn't reply.
"Since she already passed away, why didn't you leave the Pear Blossom Ravine?" Li Xinghua asked.
"I asked grandmother if I could leave the Pear Blossom Ravine. She told me that unless all the clansmen in the Pear Blossom Ravine died, I wouldn't be able to take a single step out of the Pear Blossom Ravine. "The Yin Spiritualist girl replied.
"Is that a curse?" Li Xinghua asked.
"Mn, I never dared to disobey her."
"So you planned to kill everyone in the stronghold?" When Li Xinghua said those words, her tone didn't change at all. It was as if she already knew everything from the moment they started talking.
The light purple eyes widened. The Yin Spiritualist girl stared at Li Xinghua. Her small oval face revealed a panicked expression.
… …
Not far away, a faint phantom was inexplicably attached to the flat area of the mountain ridge. There were clearly no trees or rocks in the vicinity that could block the sunlight.
This phantom was Zhu Minglang. He had already arrived. When he saw that everyone except Li Xinghua had been lured to the bottom of the mountain ridge, Zhu Minglang planned to attack the nether spiritualist girl.
But Li Xinghua put one hand behind her back and waved at Zhu Minglang, indicating that he should not show up at this time.
Li Xinghua wanted to test the Yin Spiritualist girl.
Could it be that this nether spiritualist girl is still hiding something?
…
"I … I … I didn't …" The Yin Spiritualist girl stammered nervously.
"Are you the one controlling those dead people?" Li Xinghua waved her hand at Zhu Minglang, who was hiding not far away, indicating for him to wait.
The nether spiritualist girl was silent. She didn't even dare to look at this elder sister who seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Yes … yes." After a long time, the nether spiritualist girl finally admitted it.
"Aren't they your clansmen? Why did you kill them?" Li Xinghua questioned.
"I didn't kill them. I controlled them to chase you away, but you were too strong." The nether spiritualist girl said.
"The Zombie Dragons killed them?"
The nether spiritualist girl shook her head again.
Not far away, Zhu Minglang's brows were tightly knitted.
The situation seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.
However, it was true that this nether spiritualist girl was controlling those dead people. Moreover, it was very likely that she was the leader of the Zombie Dragons. It was hard to say what was going on under the crack. No matter what, he had to capture her first and interrogate her in detail.
Zhu Minglang walked over.
Bingchen Bailong was on Zhu Minglang's left. It walked forward, its cold eyes filled with intense hostility as it stared at the nether spiritualist girl.
As for Stegosaurus, it had been hiding under the sun for a long time. As Zhu Minglang approached, Stegosaurus pointed its sword at the nether spiritualist girl.
As long as she had any thoughts of harming Li Xinghua, she would immediately be killed by Stegosaurus.
The nether spiritualist girl's body turned cold. She looked at Zhu Minglang with a pale face.
"No matter how great your hatred is, you wouldn't kill an entire stronghold. You are even more vicious than those Zombie Dragons." Zhu Minglang said coldly to the girl.
"I … I didn't kill them." The nether spiritualist girl's voice trembled slightly.
"I've seen the grave you mentioned. It wasn't a drowned Yin spirit. Therefore, you purposely led my companions to this so-called underground cave's black lake. I'm afraid that the black lake is the nest of the Zombie Dragons. You better make those restless Zombie Dragons behave. Otherwise, you will die an even more horrible death! "Zhu Minglang said.
The nether spiritualist girl looked at Zhu Minglang in fear. From her expression, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. It was as if Zhu Minglang had wronged her.
"What do you mean by dying an even more horrible death?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the pitch-black crevice.
Nan Yu Suo followed the hanging vine rope and climbed up.
Soon after, Hu Bailing, Fang Niannian, and Song Luo also came out of the crevice. They clearly didn't know what had happened here.
Zhu Minglang was very surprised.
How did they come out unscathed?? =
Wasn't the nest of the Zombie Dragons below?
Then why did this nether spiritualist girl go through so much trouble to lead everyone here?
"Didn't you encounter anything?" Zhu Minglang asked in confusion.
"There are a lot of gems. If we have enough time, we can fish them all out. Of course, the antidote resin has also been poured down. It shouldn't take long for every village in Pear Blossom Ravine to obtain clean water," Hu Bailing said with a smile.
It was quite smooth. There was indeed a black lake below. Moreover, Hu Bailing's intuition told her that this was the source of Pear Blossom Ravine's mountain stream. As for the densely packed gems at the bottom of the lake, Hu Bailing was very tempted. However, she also knew who they should belong to.
"There aren't any Zombie Dragons?" Zhu Minglang looked at Nan Yu Suo.
"The Filthy Night Zombie Dragons didn't discover this place. There aren't any traces of Zombie Dragons in the black lake either," Nan Yu Suo said.
Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua exchanged glances.
Then, their gazes simultaneously landed on the face of this nether spiritualist girl.
Could they have guessed wrongly??
However, she had clearly admitted that she was controlling those dead people.
"What's the situation on your side? Why did you come over so quickly?" Hu Bailing asked.
"The Zombie Dragon Army in Stone Village has already retreated. Only a small portion of them are hiding in the periphery," Zhu Minglang said.
"The Zombie Dragons are very vigilant and careful. They should be worried that we will gather everyone's strength to exterminate them. Therefore, they immediately abandoned Stone Village and hid somewhere else," Song Luo said.
"What were you guys discussing so seriously just now?" Hu Bailing continued to ask.
"Nothing much. I was just asking her if she saw any special Zombie Dragons in Stone Village. I'm guessing that the Zombie Dragon Army should have a leader whose intelligence isn't inferior to humans. If we know its characteristics and abilities, we can get rid of it. Dealing with the Zombie Dragons will be much easier," Zhu Minglang smiled and casually glossed over his previous question.
Meanwhile, the nether spiritualist girl lowered her head and remained silent. She couldn't help but grab the corner of her clothes with one hand. She seemed to be relieved, but also seemed to be afraid of something.
