C140 (1/2)

Seeing that I was determined to leave, Dong Wan'er didn't say anything to stop me. She just turned around and walked towards the bonfire.

However, when she turned around, she faintly said, ”The last time you went to the Dragon Palace, it was a trap set up by someone. The goal was to eradicate the remaining three families. This time, I could have found the person behind the scenes, but I didn't expect you to not be willing to help. Forget it! If a member of the Dong Clan can die, so can a member of the Zhang Clan! ”

Although we don't know who exactly is impersonating Xu Man on the trip to the underwater Dragon Palace, judging from the danger level of the things that we encountered, there are indeed people who want to take this opportunity to eliminate us. If he could force out the person behind the scenes, he would undoubtedly be able to be on guard and also allow the Zhang Family to be safe. This would be a pretty good thing. However, didn't Dong Hao previously say that Xu Man taught him how to find the underwater dragon palace?

Thinking of this, I walked out of the tent and headed towards Xu Man, who was burying the bat's corpse.

When he heard the sound of footsteps from behind him, Xu Man was obviously shocked. When he saw that it was me, he relaxed. So it's you! ”

As he spoke, Xu Man continued to fill up the hole with mud from the small, folding shovel in his hand.

Looking at how he filled the hole with mud, I suddenly realized that the words were about to reach my mouth, but I didn't know what to say!

He directly asked about the matter of Dong Hao and the others going to the Dragon Palace. But then he proved that he had never been out of the sea! If he really was the one who gave Dong Hao the clue, then logically speaking, he should have also gone with him. After all, the words that he had said last time at Stoneplate Mountain was obviously for Eternal Rest!

But if it wasn't him, then who was it that used his identity to deceive Dong Hao from the start? Furthermore, when Zhang Zikong left, he had a conversation with Xu Man …

Remembering their conversation, I immediately realized a problem!

He remembered that Xu Man had said that he was using the old monk's name to prevent others from suspecting him. In that case, could it be understood that the person who pretended to be Xu Man was also someone close to the old monk?

Just as I was thinking of this, I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind me. And when that noise appeared, the wooden cow in my hand started to heat up!

Without saying anything further, I turned around and took out my handgun. However, there wasn't a single person behind me. On the contrary, there was the sound of a shovel landing on the ground!

Hearing that, I turned around quickly once again. However, at this moment, I realised that Xu Man, who was behind me a moment ago, had disappeared! The folding shovel in his hand had landed not far in front of me!

What the heck is going on? Become a living person?

Even the bat that had its body taken over by the blood infant earlier couldn't be so fast! Furthermore, even if that damned thing could glide silently, what about Xu Man? Why didn't I hear a single cry for help?

When I thought of this, my heart immediately tensed up. Without saying anything further, I ran towards the campfire!

By the time I ran to the bonfire, the chopping board and the kids had already packed their stuff and were walking out of the tent. As for Dong Wan'er, she seemed to have heard my hurried footsteps and walked out of the tent.

”What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Seeing that my expression wasn't right, Dong Wan'er walked directly towards me. At this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from behind me. Then, a dozen pairs of green eyes appeared in the forest behind me!
