225 YOU ARE THE CULPRI (2/2)
Tzzzz!
To her astonishment, as soon as her skin touches the pink flowers it felt as if a bundle of flames was burning onto her palm!
She immediately let go of the flowers as she held her burned palm. Seeing Mu Lingxi's reaction after coming in contact with the pink flowers, Chan Gu and the other's rush to her aid.
When Yun Xue saw the reddish mark in Mu Lingxi's hand as a result of burning from the flower a frown emerged on his forehead.
”What are you doing???! Why are you acting before thinking?!!!”
He yanked on Mu Lingxi's hand and blows to it. After that, he also took a healing potion in his storage ring and pour it generously over Mu Lingxi's burned skin.
After doing that, he carefully wrapped Mu Lingxi's hand with a clean bandage.
Yun Xue's action was too sudden and swift. Before Mu Lingxi could even say a word, Yun Xue was already done on what he was doing.
He let go of Mu Lingxi's hand before turning away from her as if nothing happened.
Long Yue and the other's also noticed Yun Xue's agitation as well as his weird action just a while ago.
But knowing that this friend of theirs had some tendency of acting weird at some point of time, they just simply shrugged their shoulders and did not think much about it.
What they do instead is they focus their attention on the pink flowers blooming over the towering Sakura Tree.
Their friend, Su Yan, got burned by just coming in contact with its flower, so there is definitely something wrong with this tree.
Long Fuzi and the others carefully reached out at the towering Sakura Tree. As soon as they touch the flower in the tree, a searing pain assaulted them.
The pain brought by coming in contact with the fowers bore a striking similarity to the flames that they had felt when they touched the bodies of the warlocks before they turned into a pile of yellow sand.
”MEOW”
[Just as I thought!]
Janus narrowed his eyes as he nodded in realization.
It was no wonder why Lu Mu, as well as those other warlocks who come before them, had ended up bursting into flames after drinking the water whereas they remained completely fine.
It seemed like the key lay in these pink flowers.
Only when one drank water laced with the pink flowers would they be reduced to yellow sand and transform into a sandman!
When he and Mu Lingxi checked the oasis, the flower had already dissolved into the water so it was no wonder they had been unable to find anything at all.
He had finally found the cause behind the mysterious flames…
But where was the Enchanter?
While the group was busy trying to decide on their own, Janus walked up to the Sakura Tree and examined it closely.
However, there was nothing peculiar within his sight.
He raised his paws and placed it lightly on the tree trunk. A moment later, a smile crept upon his cute little fur face.
Imagine how Garfield smiles whenever he sees lasagna. That is how Janus looks like when he smiles.
Janus leaned into the tree and whispered,
”MEOW”
[You are the culprit, aren't you?]
