Lady Pei's face was as cold as ever, but this was the first time that her voice had sounded so cold in Mao Wei's ears.
Although she had always spoken coldly, this time was obviously different from before.
Her words were pitifully few, but most of them were cold and unapproachable. This time, however, her tone was so cold that it could freeze one's soul.
Mao Wei's expression became extremely strange. How could he be willing to let someone else end this chance of survival that he had painstakingly obtained?
"B * tch, who are you trying to fool?"
Very quickly, he looked at Miss Pei and started scolding her. In his angry voice, there was a trace of panic that could not be concealed. "Your helpers are so precious to you. How dare they disregard your life and come here to attack us at a time like this?"
Even though he said that, the distance between him and Miss Pei had narrowed quite a bit. Perhaps even he himself did not notice this.
Lady Pei's expression was still indifferent as she faced the panicking Jiang Xin. It was as if she did not notice anything amiss as she allowed him to approach her.
"Brother Jiang, stop treating your injuries. The situation has changed. Be careful!"
Although the two of them had gotten into an argument over the order of treatment, he still had to remind Jiang Xin at a time like this.
He and Jiang Xin were now in the same boat. If one of them died, the other would need help from the other if he wanted to leave alive.
Originally, he had only wanted to take this opportunity to extort Jiang Xin. He had no other intentions. He also wanted Jiang Xin to live. Otherwise, given his current state, he would not be able to return to his leader's side alive.
However, Jiang Xin, whose eyes were tightly shut, did not seem to hear half of his words. He did not respond at all.
Mao Wei frowned. He instinctively felt that something was wrong. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "Brother Jiang? Say something! "
Thump!
As soon as he said this, Jiang Xin, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly fell to the ground. Even though he had fallen to the ground, he still maintained his cross-legged position. The moment his body fell to the ground, his head inevitably collided with the ground. Then, his head actually jumped up and fell to the ground. After rolling a few times on the ground, it stopped at Mao Wei's feet.
No blood spurted out, not even the scent of blood could be smelled. It was as if Jiang Xin was already a corpse and had been dead for a long time.
However, Mao Wei clearly remembered that they had quarreled not long ago.
What was going on? Who in the world had the ability to kill his partner without anyone noticing?
Panic!
Mao Wei finally panicked!
He could no longer control his emotions. In a flash, he dashed to Miss Pei's side. Using his remaining arm, he grabbed Miss Pei's throat.
"Who's playing tricks here? Get out here! "
His voice was loud, as if it could help him hide the fear in his heart.
"Hehe."
Suddenly, a faint laughter rang out from the void.
Then, the figure of a young man appeared out of thin air and stood in front of Mao Wei in an instant.
"It's you?"
When he saw that the newcomer wasn't someone from the Floating Clouds adventurer team but Qin Yi, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Is it strange?"
Qin Yi stood in front of the young man and said with a faint smile, "Do you think that we are still behind you, thinking of ways to deal with you?"
When Mao Wei heard this, his expression became extremely ugly.
Of course, he knew who said those words. Yesterday, in order to save their lives, he and Jiang Xin had continuously attracted hatred in front of Chen Bo and directed the firepower towards Qin Yi's group.
These words were the lies that they had fabricated when Chen Bo had asked them about Qin Yi's whereabouts.
If Qin Yi knew about this, didn't that mean that he had been listening to their conversation yesterday?
However, there had only been a few of them at the scene. Apart from them, there was no trace of anyone else.
At this time, Mao Wei lowered his head and looked at Jiang Xin's corpse. When he recalled the scene of Jiang Xin being silently killed, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his face turned pale.
His body's condition was already extremely poor.
His severe injuries and poison had caused his consciousness to become somewhat fuzzy. Although he was awake now, the pain caused by the various negative states in his body, coupled with the ferment of fear, was constantly magnified.
In his eyes, this seemingly kind and smiling young man seemed to have become the most terrifying demon.
"You … Don't you dare act recklessly!"
At this time, he began to tighten his grip on Miss Pei's throat and began to move backward. "If you dare come closer, I will strangle this woman to death!"
"Hahaha!"
When Qin Yi heard this, he immediately laughed mockingly. "Captain Mao, are you scared silly? Think about it carefully. What relationship do I have with this woman? "
Mao Wei's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that the woman he had captured was a member of the Floating Clouds adventurer team.
What about Qin Yi?
He was a member of the Profound Light adventurer team!
Not only did he have no relationship with the people of the Floating Clouds adventurer team, but they could even be considered enemies.
Using someone else's enemy to threaten him?
No matter how one looked at it, this behavior was no different from that of a fool.
Obviously, this life-saving trump card had now completely lost its effect. In front of Qin Yi, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"You … Even if you have no relationship with this woman, you don't want to see her die here because of you, right?"
After carefully thinking for a long time, Mao Wei sadly discovered that, apart from Miss Pei, he had no other way to threaten Qin Yi.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he could only hold on to this life-saving straw and think of a way to threaten Qin Yi.
Perhaps it would be of some use?
This was the only thought in his mind right now!
"I have to say, you are really noisy!"
Qin Yi shook his head indifferently and said, "I am also tired of listening to you. You should prepare to die."
When Mao Wei heard this, despair and madness instantly surged in his heart. "In that case, I will take this woman with me!"
