Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

After breakfast, the group rested where they were.

Since the route was not determined yesterday, I dare not move around freely today.

They could only rest where they were and wait for night to fall.

Sword Maiden remained as aloof as ever, returning to the first floor to continue her training after finishing her meal.

For her, it seems that whenever she has nothing to do, she is practicing spiritual cultivation.

Hei Liuli, who claimed to be a disciple of the Demonic Sect, did not come downstairs but stayed behind to play with the dog, but Taotie was too lazy to pay attention to her.

One is a phoenix, the other is a glutton; they seem to have nothing in common.

Coupled with the grudge over the food, Taotie became increasingly displeased with the black phoenix.

How could a phoenix eat human food?

Shouldn't they eat grass?

"Xiao Shiyilang, if I remember correctly, that's your name."

Hei Liuli came to Fan Zui's side and followed his gaze to the vast grassland.

Yes, this angle is pretty good, the scenery is excellent.

"Does the Holy Maiden want to see me about something?"

Fan Zui's words caused Hei Liuli's body to stiffen slightly.

"How do you know my identity?"

Although she was asked that, she wasn't too surprised.

She knew from the beginning that she couldn't keep her identity a secret for long.

After all, the Black Phoenix is ​​just too easy to identify.

She revealed her true form as a pot when fighting the ferocious beast in the mountain.

"Did you need something?" Fan Zui glanced at the little girl.

Her long twin ponytails almost reached her waist, and she bounced around as she walked.

"Are you also here to find the Netherworld?" Hei Liuli asked bluntly.

Fan Zui didn't answer her question, but instead asked in return:

"You came to the secret realm to assassinate a human prodigy, and incidentally search for the Netherworld?"

"..."

"Don't worry, I won't take your things," the little girl pouted.

It is said that eating people is short-tongued and taking advantage of others is soft-handed.

I've been eating, drinking, and staying here for free for so long...

Fan Zui glanced at her but didn't really believe what she said.

After all, she is a demon saintess; she cannot be trusted lightly.

“I won’t fight you for it, but who knows what might happen to the person downstairs,” Hei Liuli suddenly said.

"She wasn't with you?"

Upon hearing this, Hei Liuli recalled what the Sword Maiden had said earlier, that she claimed to be a disciple of the Demonic Sect...

After a pause, Hei Liuli did not expose her identity.

Downstairs, Fiora was training, but she kept eavesdropping on the conversation upstairs.

Seeing that Hei Liuli hadn't exposed her, her expression suddenly became a little strange.

Logically speaking, she and Hei Liuli should be mortal enemies, but through all the fighting and killing along the way, they have developed a better understanding and appreciation for each other.

On the other side of the Sea of ​​Death.

Due to the heavy rain last night, they were unable to observe the stars and determine their route, so Yan Bingyun and his group could only stay where they were and dared not act on their own.

The Sea of ​​Death is fraught with danger; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.

However, last night, in the torrential rain, one of their already dwindling numbers was lost...

Logically speaking, the fewer people there are, the harder it is to take action.

However, the strange creature that followed them all the way still managed to succeed.

Their methods were bizarre and truly incomprehensible.

Now, only six people remain.

Lin Fan gripped the sword in his hand, his arm veins bulging, looking like he wanted to slash anyone he saw.

His brothers disappeared one by one without a sound.

How could he not be furious!

"Young master, we will definitely get out of here."

A female guard disguised as a man approached and spoke softly.

Lin Fan's emotions finally calmed down a bit.

Not far away, Yan Bingyun looked at Lin Fan with disdain.

Of the three young masters, he looked down on Lin Fan the most.

He has no composure whatsoever; he's all brawn and no brains but no talent.

"Young master, are we going to sit here and wait all day?" the old man asked as he approached.

"There's no other way." Yan Bingyun took the dry rations and took a bite.

The old man glanced at the people who were still alive.

On the Yan family's side, besides himself and Yan Bingyun, there was also a guard.

Besides Lin Fan and that woman, the Lin family only has one guard left.

The number of people is quite evenly distributed...

"Young master, what do you think this strange thing is?" the old man asked in a low voice.

Yan Bingyun shook her head slightly, and then said:

"I think it's a person, and it's one of us."

"..."

The old man looked at the remaining people and felt that there was nothing wrong with them.

With so few people around, if there's a real problem, they'll notice it.

"Young Master, do you mean that the strange entity has entered the human body and is lurking within it?"

Yan Bingyun sighed softly and said:

"I'm not sure either, I just have a suspicion."

Rather than focusing on external things, I prefer to understand in detail how this is all man-made.

Only someone close to the victim could do something so subtle and silent.

"Young master is right, but who could it be?"

The old man's gaze fell on the three members of the Lin family.

If so, it should be one of these three people.

Lin Fan is probably not it.

That woman is unlikely to be the case either.

The remaining guard had been within sight all night, but had no chance to make a move.

It probably isn't...

I see no one as a threat.

The old man then turned his gaze to his own people.

Yan Bingyun was the first to be eliminated.

The other guard couldn't be it either; he was his confidant, so there was no problem.

That leaves only one.

That was himself...

Chapter 174 [Self-Destruction]

If you suspect someone, you can't possibly suspect yourself!

The old man felt like his CPU was about to boil over, and he didn't know who the strange creature was.

I see no problem with anyone, but upon closer inspection, it seems like there's something wrong with each of them.
