Watching the back of Big Sister Wei as she left, the smile on Su Luo's face gradually disappeared. She turned around and glanced at the Ancient Ruins where Zhao Si was before turning and walking towards the Blood Mist Forest.
Su Luo touched the Sunny 1 that Leng Xiao had personally used to draw her.
Blood Mist Forest, the location of her and Leng Xiao’s duel.
Su Luo had sent Big Sister Wei away because she wanted to use her wits to win rather than brute strength. If Big Sister Wei was there, she would be too preoccupied to utilize any schemes and plans, having to focus on protecting the latter.
Not long after Su Luo left, Leng Xiao took a group of people to the Ancient Ruins.
At this time, Zhao Si had already woken up.
"Where are they?!" Leng Xiao was shocked when he saw not a single trace of fighting present by the still intact door.
Thoughts bolted around Zhao Si’s brain like lightning.
He was thinking about how to present himself in order to make his offense sound lighter.
Which one would make him sound more in the wrong: if he admitted that Su Luo had entered, knocked him out, and now knew of the boss' plan, or if he said that Su Luo wasn’t very curious and had passed the Ancient Ruins without entering?
In fact, did he really even need to consider this at all??
And so, Zhao Si made a sour expression, fidgeting as he reported to Leng Xiao: "Boss, that stinky girl, Su Luo, she… she didn't come in at all… she stared at the door, and she then just left… "
Leng Xiao: "!!!"
He kicked Zhao Si with such force that it sent him flying into the air: "Idiot! Idiot! You’re all a bunch of idiots! What are you all even useful for?! Not one of you is even capable of completing a single task!"
"Boss, calm down, please calm down! We’re tight on time, so you can’t afford to be upset. If we allow Su Luo to enter Upstream Mountain, it will be too late to try and take revenge in the future." Ding Yi whispered a reminder in Leng Xiao's ear.
"I know!" Leng Xiao waved his hand in response. Nevertheless, blue veins started to emerge on his forehead.
"Su Luo…this time, I will personally come after you! Let’s see where you can run!" Leng Xiao's eyes flashed violently as he sneered at Zhao Si: "Are you sure Su Luo didn't enter?"
"…" Zhao Si shrank back.
Leng Xiao grabbed him by the collar and shook him: "If she never entered, where did the footprints behind you come from? And you still have the nerve to lie to me!"
"…" Zhao Si wanted to cry! If he had known they were there before, he wouldn’t have lied!!
Leng Xiao took out the crumpled map from Zhao Si’s sleeve. Looking at the red crosses on it, his smile grew increasingly violent, "Now do you understand what I meant?"
Earlier, Leng Xiao had ordered Zhao Si to draw four red crosses on the map. He had done so that if Zhao Si was exposed, he would instead lure Su Luo into the fourth trap.
Blood Mist Forest…
Zhao Si’s eyes instantly widened as he stared at Leng Xiao.
The boss's plans were so far-reaching, it was ridiculous that he had actually…
"Hmph!" Leng Xiao smashed Zhao Si's head violently, splattering the entrails, then kicked his corpse against the wall, before sneering out: "Other than letting you lure that stinky girl, I also tried to test your loyalty. Looks like you were very unqualified."
As soon as Leng Xiao said these words, the group of subordinates behind him all shuddered. In the next instant, all of them collectively realized they had to double their efforts in Su Luo’s capture this time.
It could be said that Leng Xiao had the entire situation within his grasp.
Not only did he lead Su Luo to the Blood Mist Forest, he had also tested Zhao Si and even shocked a group of subordinates into absolute loyalty.
Blood Mist Forest - that was Leng Xiao's secret weapon!
Being new to this area, Su Luo wouldn’t know what was on the inside. In accordance to Leng Xiao’s predictions, Su Luo would try to bury poison on one end, maybe even a spirit ball, because she had used that method when she was in the Tower of Trials to eliminate many people.
However… Leng Xiao's mouth curled into a strange sneer.
So what if you tried to bury poison and spirit balls in the Blood Mist Forest? Su Luo, this time, you would be dead!
At this time, Su Luo had already reached the Blood Mist Forest.
This was a very peculiar forest, as the entire place appeared withered and yellowed. The jungle appeared to have no traces of life, yet it did not trigger an instinctual danger in people.
Su Luo came to a slight halt, as her sixth sense told her that there was an unknown danger following her.
Right at the same moment, Leng Xiao was also leading his people into the forest. He ordered his men: "No matter what it takes, I want fresh blood on that wretched girl!"
The reason why Blood Mist Forest was named the way it was, was because the trees there were very strange; they were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. If one’s body was covered in blood, things would be interesting!
Just the thought of it caused the smile on Leng Xiao’s mouth to widen.
This was precisely what Su Luo was experiencing at this moment.
As she was walking about, the smell of blood sprang toward her!!
Su Luo quickly moved forward to avoid the spray of blood.
However, Leng Xiao had many subordinates, and all of them were scattering and pouring blood onto Su Luo. All of this blood had been collected from demonic beasts, of which they had collected a great amount of before coming here.
Leng Xiao had so many men in his command. If he had ordered everyone to rush forward and surround Su Luo, it was possible to kill her right then and there. However, the anger in Leng Xiao's heart couldn’t simply be placated by killing Su Luo off, right?
He would use these demonic old trees in the Blood Mist Forest to slowly torture Su Luo to death!
Although Su Luo was fast and was able to teleport, how could she escape, with her being outnumbered by Leng Xiao’s men??
Before long, Su Luo was splashed with bright red blood.
"Boss, boss! That wretched girl has been hit!" After succeeding, Ding Yi immediately reported to Leng Xiao excitedly, to proclaim his achievement!!
"Good! Bahaha—" Leng Xiao was very happy and couldn't help laughing like a madman!
"Boss, what's next?"
"Continue to soak her in blood, and then gradually drive her towards the deepest part of the Blood Mist Forest!" Leng Xiao ordered loudly.
He was also rushing towards the deepest part of the forest, because he wanted to see Su Luo die with his own eyes, while slowly being tortured to death by those revived old trees! Hahaha!
Leng Xiao waved at the two people behind him: "You two, go and help as well. Be sure to make Su Luo into a bloody mess!"
After laying down his orders, Leng Xiao was alone by himself. He began to slowly walk towards the Blood Mist Forest, moving at a relaxed and casual pace, as if he was taking a leisurely walk through a courtyard. Just the thought of finally being able to kill Su Luo excited him like nothing before.
"Boss, boss, Su Luo is only thirty miles away from the center of the Blood Mist Forest!"
"Good, keep chasing her!"
"Yes!"
Only a while later.
"Boss, boss, Su Luo is only ten miles away from the center of the Blood Mist Forest!"
"Good, keep chasing her!"
"Yes!"
Soon enough, the Communication Amulet rang once again.
“Boss, Boss, Su Luo is only three miles away from the center of the Blood Mist Forest! Those thousand-year-old trees are already beginning to move!"
