Chapter 442

“Stop, go from the other side. This side has already become a death zone for everybody.” A girl said as she frowned. The place in front of them should be the battlefield that had yet to be thoroughly cleaned up. Corpses were piled up, b.l.o.o.d.y and baleful qi filled the skies. Since the weather was hot, the corpse poison around the area had already become miasma.

Everyone nodded their head in succession, especially the girls. Although they were not considered weak, where had they ever seen such a disgusting scene? It was like a scene taken from h.e.l.l. Currently, their beautiful faces were deathly pale without a single drop of blood.

They were only able to relax after making a huge detour around the battlefield. Warfare was extremely cruel. Just a glimpse of it already made them shudder. They truly didn’t dare to imagine the scene of two armies fighting against each other on the battlefield.

“Big sister Si Bi, do you think second brother is in the military camp now?” Ximen Wuhen asked Si Bi.

“This is the most important point of the battle between the two armies. He would definitely be in the military camp.” Si Bi gave her deduction on the matter. The moment she heard it, Ximen Wuhen’s calm heart began to speed up. It had already been so long since they parted, how could she not miss him?

All of the women started chatting with each other as they walked towards the military camp. As for Li Qing, he silently followed them from behind. He would hardly speak, and throughout the day, a single word might not even come out of his mouth. As such, the women quickly treated him as though he was a walking statue. They forgot about his existence.

“There is a brook in front! Let’s take a rest there. The weather is so hot, I can’t take it anymore.” Lin Na cheered and rushed ahead. The sixth month of the year had just begun. However, the weather was already extremely hot. There seemed to be no place to hide from the blazing sun as well.

When they reached the brook, all of the women started to wash their faces. Was.h.i.+ng off the dust acc.u.mulated on their faces with the refres.h.i.+ng water from the brook, they felt extremely comfortable.

As for Li Qing, he just stood at one side. Seeing the girls’ dripping wet appearance, he took out his Ice Sword and started circulating

cold qi within his body. He condensed a big chunk of ice which fell from the sky. With a bang, it appeared beside the girls. The temperature of the entire place started to fall the moment the ice cube appeared.

“Big sister Si Bi, is he really Long Yi’s friend? Why does he behave just like an ice cube?” Lin Na whispered into Si Bi’s ear.

Si Bi was startled. With a bitter smile on her face, she replied, “He specializes in ice magic of the water attribute. That might have some influence on his temperament.” As for the complicated relation between her, Li Qing and Long Yi, she didn’t talk about it at all. It was a complicated and ill-fated relations.h.i.+p.

“No wonder. However, didn’t he address Ling’er as Madam and Wuhen as Miss? That makes him sound like some kind of servant. Is he Long Yi’s servant?” Lin Na continued to ask.

Si Bi’s expression stiffened and she didn’t speak. She had no idea how to reply to Lin Na’s question.

Long Ling’er pulled Lin Na away as she shook her head.

All of a sudden, Li Qing, who was quietly resting against a tree stood up. With a cold light glimmering in his eyes, he said with indifference, “We are surrounded.”

When they heard what Li Qing said, all of the girls became aware of the strange situation around them. They quickly gathered together and concentrated their senses. Roughly one hundred people had surrounded them from in all directions. From the aura they were emitting, they didn’t seem to be strong. However, they had actually been surrounded by these weaklings. Not to mention the fact that they had arrived within 100 meters of them without anyone noticing them.

Rustle, rustle, rows of arrows, dazzling with pallid lights shot out from the thick clump of gra.s.s not far away from them. The girls were obviously the targets.

“These are the arrows from a magic crossbow. Everyone, don’t underestimate them.” After all, Si Bi was someone with a lot of experience. The moment she saw the arrows, she was able to ascertain that they were not ordinary arrows.

“It’s a small army squad. I think we will be fine if we state our ident.i.ty.” Ximen Wuhen said.

The encirclement slowly shrunk and several armed Master Magicians appeared in the sky.

The encirclement stopped 50 meters away, and a sharp-eyed young general with a tough and stocky build walked out from the troops. His body was emitting

emitting a dense b.l.o.o.d.y aura. Although his strength might be weaker compared to the four girls, his tyrannical aura he developed from the piles of corpses could make a chill go down anyone’s spine.

The general looked all around. Although he was startled in his heart, he appeared to be indifferent on the surface. Suddenly, when his gaze swept past Li Qing, he was stunned. Seeing Ximen Wuhen, he was shocked and unexpectedly used his hands to rub on his eyes like a child. When he confirmed that he wasn’t seeing things, he exclaimed, “Big sister Wuhen, why are you here?”

Ximen Wuhen was dumbfounded and she had a blank expression on her face. Big sister Wuhen? Why doesn’t she recall having a younger brother like this?

“Big sister Wuhen, don’t you remember me? It’s me, Nangong Nu.” Nangong Nu said as he rushed over to Ximen Wuhen.
