"That man may be seriously injured and unable to move!"
"So what?" the other man asked casually. Even if that man was seriously injured, what could the two of them do?
Cheng Wu was a skinny man of about 30 years old. The lines on his face looked like they were chiseled by knives and axes. At this moment, he was hesitating.
"Let's go back and take a look!" After hesitating, Cheng Wu made up his mind.
Upon hearing this, the man looked at Cheng Wu's expression and cried out, "Are you crazy?"
Previously, Cheng Wu had pulled him away, and now he wanted to go back. Combined with what he said about that man not being able to move, it wasn't hard to imagine what he was up to.
Cheng Wu's eyes flickered, "I'm just going back to take a look. If that man is really seriously injured, then only the kirin is left. Since he can be associated with a kirin, he might have some good stuff on him, like secret manuals or treasures. Don't you want them? "
"You are crazy. There is still a kirin." The other man was shocked. Cheng Wu had always given people the impression that he was bold but cautious, but no one expected him to be so bold.
"Didn't that kirin have no reaction just now? Let's just watch from afar. What if that man is seriously injured and dies? If that's the case, we can just pick him up. That kirin won't be guarding him forever, right? "Cheng Wu voiced out his thoughts.
"If he recovers, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape." The other man was a little worried.
"Let's observe the situation first. Furthermore, if he doesn't die, we can use other methods to kill him. That is a kirin, not a human, and it can't know everything like a human. I have an item with three bone-penetrating needles that can penetrate leather from a hundred steps away. I'm afraid that even if that man dies, the kirin won't know what happened, "Cheng Wu continued.
As he spoke, he took out a cylinder from his bag, waved it in front of the other man, and put it back into the bag.
"You actually have this thing?" The other man was surprised to see what Cheng Wu took out. One had to know that this cylinder was only sold at the Pavilion of Hundred Machines, and it was very expensive. It could fire a total of three rounds of bone-penetrating needles, three at a time. It could be said to be silent and extremely fast. Even an expert who had just attained the Earth Wheel level would inevitably be hit by it.
"Bi Su gave it to me earlier. If she had used it to protect herself, I'm afraid she wouldn't have ended up like that," said Cheng Wu, a haze flashing across his eyes.
"So, if there's a chance for me to become stronger, I must seize it. Otherwise, how can I avenge Bi Su?" Cheng Wu gritted his teeth and said.
The other man could understand Cheng Wu's feelings. No matter who it was, if their beloved junior sister was tortured to death, the only thing left in their hearts would be revenge. It wasn't easy for Cheng Wu to endure until now.
However, according to what Cheng Wu said, it was somewhat feasible.
If that man had died, the Qilin would definitely not have stayed there to guard him.
The two of them just had to guard that place and prevent others from stealing the peaches.
If he just stood guard from afar, it shouldn't be too dangerous.
Thinking of this, he also nodded. "I'll go with you. But first, don't be rash. Let's observe the situation first."
Cheng Wu revealed a trace of a smile and patted his companion's shoulder. In his heart, however, he said, "I'm sorry. I haven't gotten my revenge yet, so I can't die yet."
The reason why he had to convince his companions was because of that Qilin. No one knew what kind of strength this legendary species had.
If there really was an accident, he would have a slight chance.
After all, he ran faster than him.
The two of them made up their minds and didn't rush back. Instead, they first changed direction and carefully moved towards the place they had been before.
Although the two of them only took a glance and were in a hurry to leave, Cheng Wu noticed another distance. The trees were closer to that person, which meant that the two of them could move closer.
More importantly, that person was facing in another direction.
The two of them made a circle before carefully moving in that direction, trying not to make the slightest sound.
When they were about to get close to the place they had been before, the two of them could see through the trees and the empty space from before.
The two of them carefully looked over and saw that the Qilin and the man were there, but there was also another person beside them. It was a woman in red, wearing a somewhat strange red dress. She was squatting there and feeding something into the man's mouth.
"So there's a companion." The two of them thought.
In the next second, the woman suddenly raised her head and looked over with a cold expression. Although they were far away, the two of them could still feel the murderous and mocking intent in her eyes.
"We have been discovered. Run." The two of them turned around and fled. With just a glance from the woman, the two of them felt a chill run down their spines. It was as if their bodies had been poured with ice water. They immediately knew that she was an expert, and she was probably much more skilled than their chief.
The empress put down the bowl in her hand. Her movements were neither hurried nor slow. In the next moment, she suddenly disappeared and appeared not far behind the two of them. In a flash, she appeared above the two of them and directly stepped on one of their heads.
That person almost didn't have time to react and was directly stomped into the ground like a nail. Only his hair was left on the ground, and he was directly stomped to death.
Cheng Wu was only a few meters faster than the man. When he heard the sound behind him, he turned around and saw that his fellow disciple only had his hair scattered on the ground. The woman was standing on his head and looking at him. Her face was full of heroic spirit, but it was as cold as frost.
Subconsciously, he took out the cylinder. However, the combination of this frosty woman, the red dress, and the Qilin from before suddenly reminded him of that legendary figure.
How could that person appear here?
But other than her, who else could it be?
At this moment, Cheng Wu's mind was blank. At this moment, his previous thoughts seemed like a joke.
But, why was she here? How could she be here? I can't accept this!
In the next second, a stone flew out from under the woman's feet. With a piercing sound, it directly hit Cheng Wu's head. It pierced through the other side of Cheng Wu's head with fresh blood and brain matter, taking away all of his thoughts.
Cheng Wu's body ran a step before falling to the ground. At this moment, there was only an empty hole in his face and blood splattered everywhere.
Less than a minute had passed since the empress disappeared and returned.
"What's wrong?" Ren Baqian couldn't move his body, but he could still hear the sound of something running in the forest just now. This made him subconsciously think of the two people he saw just now.
"Just two little bugs," the empress said indifferently.
Hearing the empress say two, Ren Baqian knew that it was most likely those two people.
They actually left and came back. He reckoned that they were up to no good.
They deserved to die.
In fact, after the empress returned, Ren Baqian told her about the two people who came just now. Obviously, the empress didn't care. As long as the other party didn't appear in front of her, she couldn't be bothered with them.
The empress squatted down, picked up the bowl, and fed Ren Baqian the remaining half of the porridge. Then, she lifted him up and placed him on the back of the Qilin before continuing on their journey.
One day later, the two of them returned to Earth in a forest that was one day's journey away from the Nine Pavilions.
At this moment, Ren Baqian had already been poisoned for nine and a half days. There were still five and a half days left.
When Ren Baqian and the empress appeared in the other world, both of them were stunned because there were two men wearing hoods beside them. At this moment, the middle part of the hood was pulled down to reveal their faces. They were lifting their pants and looked like they were about to go to the toilet.
