How was it possible? Could it be that he was seeing things? Long Yi clearly saw the claws of those two corpse sink into Wushuang's body. However, there was no wound on her body……
Long Yi's hands reached out to touch Wushuang's chest. He gently touched the dried blood with his finger and after smelling it, he was sure that he wasn't mistaken. This was indeed a human's blood, and it absolutely wasn't something like tomato sauce that dyed Wushuang's pure white robe red.
Long Yi took off his robe Wushuang's body which was barely covered by her own ripped clothes. After covering Wushuang with his own clothes, he turned his gaze to the crystal ball which was on the ground. Long Yi clearly saw that this crystal ball fell from the two corpses just a moment ago. Long Yi started to inject his own magic power into this crystal ball. However, no matter how much magic power he injected into this crystal ball, there was no reaction from it. It appeared as though it was just an ordinary crystal ball.
”How could this be? Was that just an illusion?” Nalan Ruyue didn't dare to believe what she just saw. The events which happened a moment ago was truly hair raising, Nalan Ruyue was frightened stiff by what just happened. Furthermore, Long Yi's previous outburst made her extremely worried. If she was in Wushuang's place just a moment ago, would Long Yi also go crazy trying to save her? Nalan Ruyue thought in a daze.
As he stared at Wushuang who was unconscious on the floor, Long Yi sighed. After looking at Wushuang for a while longer, Long Yi finally stood up and said, ”Let's rest here for the time being.” Seeing as there were no objections, Long Yi walked over to the unconscious Barbarian Bull who was lying not too far away. After pressing a few spots on his body, Barbarian Bull woke up. Since he trained in Golden Bell Canopy, Barbarian Bull didn't sustain any serious injuries other than some superficial flesh wounds.
It was a dark night in Lost City. The dark fog enveloping the sky was even denser, the stars and moon in the sky weren't visible and the undead army gathered everywhere.
These undead creatures surrounding the city lord mansion had crawled out of the ground after Wushuang returned. Throughout the night, they stood quietly and motionlessly in neat rows, just like statues. The surprising thing was that these undead creatures were under no one's control. This kind of strange scene could only be seen in Lost City. After thinking about it, Long Yi deduced that everything that had happened was due to Wushuang.
Eventually, the group decided to set up their tents at the eastern courtyard of the city lord's mansion. Since it had already been destroyed in the battle, Long Yi only had to sweep away the debris with a wave of his hand before it became a plot of land suitable for them to rest. As for Wushuang, she was resting on the soft bed in one of those tents. Currently, Long Yi was sitting at the top of the tallest building in the city lord's mansion and was playing with the crystal ball. Although it was just an ordinary crystal ball in his hand, Long Yi seemed to be lost in thoughts as he stared at it with a frown on his face.
The events which happened in the city lord's mansion today were replayed in Long Yi's head as if he was watching a movie. The more the thought about it, the more Long Yi felt as though there was something suspicious going on. He felt as though everything was enveloped with a layer of dense fog, and he was able to smell a plot brewing.
According to legend, Lost City was cursed by the Dark G.o.d. As such, Long Yi wondered if the series of incidents was made possible due to the Dark G.o.d. However, he couldn't think of any reason why the Dark G.o.d would do something like this.
Seeing as he was stuck, Long Yi decided to slowly a.n.a.lyze everything from the beginning. The arrangement of the city lord and his wife was very interesting. Moreover, the clothes they wore was even more suspicious. Due to their honorable status, they would definitely not lie on the ground to wait for their death after being affected by the curse. Not to mention the fact that their corpses were neatly arranged. It was clear that this was a set up from the beginning.
After thinking about it for a long time, Long Yi started to question himself again. Could it be that the city lord and his wife had already pa.s.sed away thousands of years ago and the arrangement was to deal with Wushuang? The more he thought about it, the more Long Yi thought that it wasn't possible. Who would know that Wushuang would come back to life thousands of years later?
Thinking deeper, Long Yi started to recall the situation which happened earlier. The sudden resurrection of those two dried corpses was due to the Wushuang's tears falling into the clean area of the room. The moment her tears touched the floor, the strange magic array which was on the clothes of the two corpses began to operate. Everything led to the incident where Wushuang was 'pierced' by the claws of the two corpses.
”After thinking about it, everything was set up in such a way to target Wushuang.” Long Yi muttered under his breath. The more he thought about it the dizzier he felt. In the end, Long Yi gave up trying to find a reason for the things which happened.
After he stopped thinking about the matter with Wushuang, Long Yi suddenly remembered the shadow within his body. That old fellow had been bugging him to go to the dark s.p.a.ce of this Lost City for such a long time. Now that he was at Lost City, the shadow had disappeared without a trace. What was going on?
”Smelly kid, what are you thinking about? You're definitely making malicious remarks behind my back again.” A familiar cold voice resounded in Long Yi's mind. As Long Yi haven't heard this voice in a long time, he felt relieved when he finally heard the voice of this shadow again.
”Old man, I have already told you, if you are going to come out, greet me first. What are you trying to do when you come out like this? Scare me to death?” Long Yi cursed in his heart as he felt irritated with the way this shadow appeared.
”Jie jie jie, smelly kid. Shouldn't you be thanking me? To repair your broken skeleton, I had to spend one-third of my origin dark power.” The shadow said after a strange laughter. Long Yi could hear the exhaustion the shadow had in his voice.
”Was it so hard? Old man, I truly give you my thanks. When you recover your physical body, I promise you get you tasty food and good drinks. If you want money, I'll give you money. If you are looking for girls, I'll get you some girls.” Long Yi went wild with joy when he heard that Long Two was repaired. In his excitement, he started to make empty promises to the shadow.
”Less of your c.r.a.p. Since it is still early, we should go to the dark s.p.a.ce.” The shadow scolded in jest and said.
”Now? But……” Long Yi was somewhat hesitant to leave Wushuang here as she was still unconscious.
