Chapter 68   - The Murder Game

Yuzu

Of course, Xu Caitong knew what kind of beasts lived behind this door. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Xiao Chen to explore the way forward.

And he has long been prepared.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously gripped the realgar bag in his pocket.

Snakes are afraid of realgar.

This was not the first time he brought people here to offer their heads. He has long been familiar with the two pythons, and basically, two people will be able to fill them up. So, he would let the unlucky one be the appetizer first and then find someone else in the group to get rid of.

As for who this person is,

Xu Caitong narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Jingxia, who smelled of blood.

He would always stay away from such dangerous criminals and secretly go after them. This person made their own death, so who would blame him?

If not him, who else can it be?

Heh, providence.

But what Xu Caitong did not notice was that after he withdrew his dark and sullen gaze on Su Jingxia, the latter glanced at him with a smirk. His hands were in his pockets, and there was no telling what he was thinking about.

The crowd fell into collective silence at this suddenly closed door.

Zhang Guangjun, the bald man who has little presence, looked a little ugly and said in a not too good tone, “What should we do next?”

They must enter this door since they have been here for a while. Although there are quite a few rooms in the whole corridor, each room is separate. There are no passages, let alone exits, which meant that this door is their only hope to get out of here, or else they will be trapped.

Seeing that the kid had gone in for ten minutes without a single movement, they could not just stand still.

After all, the time is now short.

There was no food and water, and they were surrounded by a group of wild beasts, without having any idea of what they have in mind. There is more danger if they delay a little more time.

As soon as Zhang Guangjun thought of this, his stomach untimely issued a grunt.

This sound was extremely abrupt in the quiet environment and woke up the crowd.

“Then why don’t we go in together.” Xu Caitong smiled as he held an oil lamp in his hand. The light of the oil lamp was blown from time to time by the wind that came from who knows where. It swayed from side to side, like dancing in the air. The glow of the candlelight hit his face, and only half of his face was visible. It carried a bit of an indescribable creepiness.

–

Xiao Chen was nervous and sweated a lot. He didn’t know how long he had been walking, but he was held by the man the whole time, letting the other man do what he wanted.

His exquisite face that seemed unreal was stained with a bit of smoke and dust because of the thin sweat that appeared on it. This look was also a bit more tasteful than the delicate doll-like appearance. Xiao Chen’s face was red and puffy, just like a peach, making people want to take a bite.

The man did not look at the path from the start as he couldn’t stop staring at Xiao Chen’s face. He wanted to put the other person in his pocket for fear of losing him; he was so precious.

The man suddenly stopped in his tracks, and because Xiao Chen could not see, he stumbled into the man’s side, and his body fell forward like a weightless person.

Yu Mo grabbed the other party’s waist with a swift hand and quickly straightened the other’s stance.

The waist feels very good, and it is not too much to hold.

Yu Mo is a bit reluctant to let go.

“Are we there yet?” Xiao Chen’s voice was soft and sweet, and it sounded very pleasant.

Yu Mo hooked the corners of his mouth, and he couldn’t hide the pleasure in his tone, “Here.”

After that, the man continued to hold Xiao Chen’s hand. The two of them held hands with their fingers interlinked. It was not a palm-to-palm kind of position, but one where the man had directly wrapped up Xiao Chen’s delicate fingers in his large hand.

Yu Mo looked at Xiao Chen with misty eyes in his arms, looking innocent. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud and then pushed the door in front of him with the hands which had been wrapped around Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen obediently exerted his efforts together.

The moment the door opened, Xiao Chen subconsciously squinted his eyes. After a long time in a dark environment and now suddenly seeing the light, he was a little uncomfortable.

He subconsciously stretched out his other hand to shield his eyes. He then shook his head several times, blinking hard to adapt to the brightness in front of him slowly. His eyes even squeezed out a few tears from his actions.

It was also when Xiao Chen adapted to the brightness that he finally saw the man’s face clearly.

Compared to seeing it in the dark, Xiao Chen realized that the man’s face was white as if he had not been in the sun. Like a vampire duke who has been hiding in the dark for a long time, his skin showed a pale white color, and his hair hung properly on his sides, slightly curled. His gray eyes only reflected Xiao Chen’s figure alone, and his eyes were a bit upturned.

Compared to Xiao Chen’s own affectionate phoenix eyes, the angles near the corners of the man’s eyes were sharp and cold-looking. Still, at this moment, his eyes are full of tenderness.

Not knowing if these eyes bewitched him, Xiao Chen’s whole body was frozen in place. His face burst red at speed visible to the naked eye, just like a cooked crayfish.

Yu Mo seems to have discovered a new world, and with a flirtatious tone, he said, “Are you shy?”

“............”

I’m not, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense.

–

As soon as Xu Caitong’s words fell, all eyes looked toward him. Xu Caitong had been standing at the end of the line just now. For a while, everyone communicated in a position where they were facing him, and their backs were turned to that gate.

Before the smile on Xu Caitong’s face faded, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and the curve of his mouth stiffened and turned into an extremely distorted expression.

A rustling and grinding sound approached, and it was harsh to the ears. At once, everyone looked at the source of the sound and took two steps back in a defensive posture with a wary expression.

Not good!

Xu Caitong’s heart stopped for a second.

“With a loud “pong” sound, the wooden door was pushed open by a powerful force.

Two at least half a meter long pythons swayed from side to side in the air. The tips of their tongues resembled scissors; they were scarlet and slender and kept swinging, with a layer of sticky, transparent liquid on top.

The pythons were exposed to the crowd. Before they could get over the shock, the pythons passed their heads right through the door.

“Run!” Yang Ru, the only female in the group, reacted the fastest. She hoarsely yelled as she stared wide-eyed, then ran back as fast as she could, like a cheetah.

Xu Caitong was the second person to react and immediately ran as well. In this short time, all of them darted away with frightened faces.

But they were still a step too late.

The closest to the door was He Yili, who was a fat man and rarely exercised. His reaction was also half a beat slower than the crowd, so there was no doubt that he immediately became the first victim among the group.

In a matter of seconds, the sharp, knife-like teeth of the python pierced He Yili’s skin, and his blood gushed out violently like a freshly tapped spring. Before He Yili’s wide-open eyes could blink, the python quickly wrapped itself around his body.

He Yili woke up as if he had a dream and used his arms to resist. However, his strength in front of the python was nothing more than a small thing. The python opened its bloody mouth and swallowed him like whole, without even chewing, directly taking He Yili in his mouth.

The last scene reflected in He Yili’s eyes before he died was the sight of his stomach pierced by the python’s teeth and his internal organs flowing out like free money. This image resembled a market stall selling pork that had not yet had time to deal with the disgusting things.

It is not clear whether the physical quality of the others is really too good. But Xu Caitong, who has already experienced many battles in this place, was soon left behind by this group of people.

Xu Caitong’s heart thumped incessantly, and his eyeballs were protruding because of the horror.

He does not want to die!

And definitely can not die!

Xu Caitong stared at Zhang Guangjun, the bald man nearest to him. The man also panted heavily and looked horrified. Almost without hesitation, Xu Caitong came up with a way to save himself. He viciously pulled out the dagger used for defense from his pocket and advanced to Zhang Guangjun’s position with the speed of a 100-meter dash.

Anyway, that was not the first time!

Zhang Guangjun heard Xu Caitong’s gradually approaching panting, subconsciously glanced back.

But Zhang Guangjun was still a step slower, and Xu Caitong pulled out a smile. Zhang Guangjun was stunned as he saw this expression, and his heart pounded harder.

The next second, something stabbed him in the back. Zhang Guangjun opened his mouth wide, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground directly like a pool of stagnant water, completely unable to move. The bald man could only watch as Xu Caitong put the dagger away and inserted it back into his pocket, then ran away without mercy, leaving him alone behind.

It’s over!

Zhang Guangjun trembled and turned back, the python had already reached him and opened its bloody mouth............

[ Passerby875415: Damn, the screen finally resumed, how come it was black for so long.

Passerby897668: How did the pythons come out on their own? They would never step out of their territory before.

Passerby876558: What the f*ck, there are two dead. Is that Xiao Chen dead or not?

Passerby987653: What’s going on with Xu Caitong? This time him leading the team feels terrible and seems to be a mess. He was not at this level before, right? ]

The breathless people did not know how long they had been running before they finally stopped.

The pythons didn’t follow them either.

Xu Caitong was shocked for a long time and was unable to calm down.

F*ck, what happened this time?

How come there is one derailment after another? Sh*t.

Before Xu Caitong could sort out his thoughts, Su Jingxia, who had been observing him for a long time, immediately took advantage of his unpreparedness and fiercely bound his hands.

Xu Caitong’s pupils quivered, and his eyes contracted fiercely.

“What are you doing?” Xu Caitong’s voice was a bit shaky, and there was a panic in his tone that could not be hidden.

The other people looked over at once. They did not see Xu Caitong’s secret dirty work, so in their hearts, compared to the sinister and dangerous Su Jingxia, the gentle-looking Xu Caitong was definitely more trustworthy than Su Jingxia.

This time, the only two remaining people looked at Su Jingxia’s eyes and could not help but be unable to conceal their wariness.

“What am I doing?” The contempt in his eyes could not be hidden as he pulled out a sarcastic smile and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xu Caitong panicked, his heartbeat instantly accelerated.

Su Jingxia was incredibly strong. His one hand could easily bind the other’s hands. He didn’t speak but instead went closer to Xu Caitong’s pants and reached directly into the other’s pocket with his other hand.

Xu Caitong stumbled.

It’s over!

Su Jingxia dug in his pocket, and his expression changed. His eyes rolled, and he laughed out coldly, then he smoothly pulled out the bloody dagger that Xu Caitong had just stabbed Zhang Guangjun with.

Su Jingxia coldly snorted, his voice gloomy.

“Then, you answer first, what is this?”
