Chapter 511: Prediction (2) (2/2)
”Ah!” Sella suddenly screamed. ”Something is trying to grab me!”
Angele noticed that pairs of women's hands appeared in the mud and were trying to grab the team members.
”Don't move!” Bella drew her swords and slashed through the hands.
The hands were all cut into pieces after just one hit.
Bella slowly lowered her swords and the hands on the ground turned into mud.
Sella was the only one that was attacked. A pair of handprints was left on her ankles; they were turning dark.
Sella gritted her teeth and took out some white herb. She broke the herb into pieces and applied them on the wound.
Green smoke rose from her ankles; the handprints faded, but they were still on her skin.
*CHI CHI*
The spider girl walked to Sella and pressed on her wound. A lot of white smoke rose from her ankles.
”Great!” Sella looked happy. ”Thank you!”
Angele crouched in front of Becky and watched the hands that were broken by her turn into mud.
”Are you alright?” Mincola looked at Angele.
”I'm fine. I just want to study this thing. I tried to collect the broken hands using a container, but I failed. My container melted after it contacted the mud.”
Angele stood up and the team started moving again. They started checking the mud on the ground constantly.
All the mud they encountered later attacked them. They dodged all the attacks and the tunnel ahead branched out.
They stood in front of the two tunnels and hesitated.
Suman took out a black map and checked the route. ”I don't see any branch here.”
He hesitated and turned around. ”There are two tunnels ahead, but I don't know which one will lead me to the destination. I decided to enter the tunnel on the right.”
”We'll go with you,” Sella said, ”but what about Green…?”
Angele noticed that the others were staring at him. He knew that the team did not like him. He was once the leader of an assassin team; also, Suman and his friends were too naive.
”I heard that the doors of the ancient city are protected by codes. I don't think I can unlock the doors.”
”Don't worry, it has been years and I think the codes are no longer working,” Suman explained. ”Also, only one of the tunnels will lead us to the destination.”
Suman had similar thoughts about Angele as the other team members. He just could not trust the man. Also, Angele did not hesitate when he drew the dagger and tried to dissect the spider girl. He could feel that the man was cruel and it seemed like the spider girl considered Angele the strongest being in the team.
”Alright, then. I'll choose the other tunnel and I'll see you later.” Angele glanced at the spider girl one last time before leaving.
”Let's go, Becky.”
Becky snorted and followed Angele into the tunnel on the left. They disappeared from the team's sight quickly.
Suman's expression loosened as Angele and Becky left.
He raised his hands and stopped the others from talking. They walked for a while before Suman suddenly stopped and turned around.
”Mincola, he's gone now, what were you trying to say?” He looked at Mincola with a serious expression on the face.
”There's a problem. The spider girl fears Angele due to her instinct. It was not due to how Angele treated her. I heard that white spider girl could see the future and I wonder what she saw.”
”See the future?” Sella dragged the girl to her. ”You mean this girl could predict the future? Is this part of her ability?”
”You're right, her ability is special. Although Green has the same goal as us and I think things will be fine, I just don't know why the spider girl fears him so much. Let me ask her.” Mincola looked at the spider girl and spoke in the spider language.
The spider girl hesitated for a second when she heard the question, but she still responded.
”The sky and the ground are torn apart…” Mincola translated. ”I can see dead bodies, many dead bodies. So many creatures were killed that their bones formed mountains… That man is dangerous and strong!”
Suman was surprised after he heard those words.
”Is this real? That's our future?” Messiah wondered.
Mincola shook his head. ”I'm not sure, but I'm certain that Green is not telling the truth if the spider girl is not lying to us. What do you think, Sella?”
”I don't think the spider girl is lying.” Sella shook her head.
Mincola's brow furrowed, he tried to talk to the spider girl again, but she just kept shaking her head.
”What are you doing, Mincola?” Sella asked.
”I want her to use her ability on Green so that we'll know the truth. I want to make sure that our mission can be completed. I don't know if Green is a threat to us or not.”
Sella hesitated for a second and patted the girl's head. ”Help us, please.”
The spider girl was moved by Sella's gentleness. She looked at Sella in the eyes and slowly nodded.
Closing her eyes, the spider girl's body started shaking and a spider mark appeared between her eyebrows.
The team was waiting for the result quietly.
Several minutes later, the spider girl's face turned pale and there was blood leaking out of her mouth. It seemed like she was suffering from severe pain.
*BOOM*
The girl's head exploded, her brain and blood splashed on Sella's body.
Everyone was surprised by what happened.
