A bird cry came from the sky. Xiang Xue'er raised her head and saw a red hawk fly across the sky. She didn't pay much attention to it as she asked, ”Snake Dowager, where are you bringing me to?” Are you trying to pull some kind of trick? ”
”Don't worry, we'll be there soon.” After saying that, she pointed at the mountain peak opposite them, ”It's over there!”
Mountain? Xiang Xue'er looked at the mountain for a long time before she turned her head to look behind her. Although this mountain wasn't tall, it was at the same height as the Outer Mountain. One could see to the other side.
As they spoke, the two of them quickened their pace. Before dusk, they had already entered the city. Halfway up the mountain, Snake Dowager stopped at a cave covered with swamps. ”The witch is in this cave.”
Xiang Xue'er cautiously probed the entrance of the cave. A wave of icy cold wind blew over. She turned her head to stare at Snake Dowager, using her chin to point at the entrance. ”Why aren't you going in?”
Snake Ji gulped. This cave was discovered by her while following the masked guy. She watched as he moved the witch's body from the icy cave to here, but she never entered it herself.
What if there was a trap or an ambush? Snake Dowager stood there motionlessly, and Xiang Xue'er immediately understood. ”Hey, it can't be you. You brought me here before the enemy had a chance to investigate?”
”What did you not detect clearly? I saw the witch go in, and the masked guy shouldn't be in the cave at this time.” Snake Ji couldn't help but start to worry. What if her whereabouts were exposed? She was exposed. It was as easy as crushing an ant to death.
”Tch!” Xiang Xue'er disdainfully rolled her eyes and walked into the cave. Seeing this, Snake Dowager looked around the cave and followed closely behind.
A cold chill hit them, and the temperature of the entire cave was far from the outside. Xiang Xue'er reached out a hand to touch her shoulder, and the two of them groped their way into the cave.
Indeed, in the innermost area of the cave, the walls and floor were covered in a layer of thick ice. On top of a huge chuang of ice, the witch laid there quietly.
They finally found it. Xiang Xue'er walked over. It seemed that there really was no one in the cave. She reached out her hand to touch the witch's body. Her body was covered with a layer of frost. It seemed that she was afraid that the witch's body would rot, so she was allowed to come here and continue to freeze the ice.
”Damn you, evil witch! I've found you!” Xiang Xue's heart was filled with excitement. Body, I can finally say goodbye to you sooner. She turned her head to the snake girl and blinked, then pointed at the witch's body.
”What do you mean?” Snake Dowager looked at her winking expression and didn't understand what was going on. She sighed. ”What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and get her corpse out of here.”
”What? You want me to do it?” Snake Ji's face darkened. This damned girl actually dared to tell her to do something. Xiang Xue'er helplessly placed her dislocated hand in front of Snake Ji. ”Look at me, do you want me to carry it out?”
Snake Dowager's face changed instantly. Staring at her dislocated arm, she endured for a moment. If she hadn't asked her to help kill that damned masked guy, she wouldn't have listened to this damned girl's instructions.
She gritted her teeth and used her fingers to eat the witch's flesh. He put his body on top of the corpse and quickly walked out of the cave. He kept asking, ”Hey, I got the corpse for you. Don't go back on your word when you promise me.”
”Got it, got it, you talk so much nonsense, if you don't hurry up and get that masked man back, we'll both be disabled!” Xiang Xue'er impatiently swapped words with him as she hurried to bring the witch's corpse back to the inn. If it were her original body, she would have been dead by now. Perhaps the Spiritual Bead would have a way to take the witch's soul away from her.
