Chapter 234

After ending Mrs. Withered Leaf, although Yale Liga was a little excited by the pleasure of revenge, she did not forget another problem arising from it, that is, Sati, who was supposed to follow Mrs. Withered Leaf, disappeared.

The space in the cave is unobstructed, and it is absolutely impossible for the satyr to shrink into the narrow stone crack like a tree root.Yale Liga once suspected that he used some kind of concealment spell to ambush in a corner, waiting for her chance to relax, but she did not encounter any surprise attack after killing Mrs. Withered Leaf.

She was finally convinced that Sati had escaped, and the cunning half-faun saw that the situation was not going well, so he abandoned Mrs. Withered Leaf without hesitation.This was indeed beyond Yale Liga's expectations, but it was not impossible.Sati has always been the best judge of the situation among all the jailors.

She walked along the mountain road, thinking about the possible destination of Sati in her mind: maybe he will hide in a corner of this planet, making a living by plundering and murdering; maybe he doesn't intend to stop here, but has already set off Go find Qin Ma.

Tan Ma——she was familiar with this name, but she had never met him in person, and she didn't even know his race and identity.From the jailer's description, she only knew that this person was loyal to Madam Withered Leaf, but now that Madam Withered Leaf was dead, Tan Ma hadn't appeared for a long time.She guessed that he was not in the second peak at all now.

Sati may have gone to look for him, so will Qin Ma come back?Will he disappear from now on, or insist on revenge for Mrs. Withered Leaf?Yale Liga sincerely hopes that it is the latter, because even though she was not captured by Qin Ma, they can still settle accounts carefully.

She pondered over these questions until Ji Zangyu fell from the sky and landed in front of her.

His expression was unusual.

Yale Liga thought it was because she was holding a stone covered in fleshy mud, so she hid the makeshift weapon behind her back.

"What's wrong?" She asked pretending to be innocent.

Ji Zangyu obviously saw her weapon (Yale Liga didn't really plan to hide it from him), but he didn't ask Mrs. Withered Leaf's ending, but frowned and said, "I ran into that white hair. "

He was undoubtedly speaking of Villars.That was exactly what Yale Liga wanted, but Ji Zangyu's expression was not quite right—it was not the reaction of "encountering an enemy", but the reaction of "encountering a strange thing".

She immediately asked Ji Zangyu to take her to have a look.When they sat on the red cloud and descended to the foot of the mountain, Yale Liga finally understood why Ji Zangyu showed such a strange expression.

The long meandering river like a light golden ribbon flows endlessly, and Villar always passed by it to come to Yale Liga in the past.There are few aquatic plants and duckweed on the river surface, which is clear and smooth, reflecting the emerald green in the sky, but the river water presents a beautiful thin red.

They traced back along the thin red water, and at the fork of the upstream river, Yale Liga saw a hill of flesh and blood higher than a person built in the shallows.As the river passed by, strands of blood mixed into the waves.

Yareriga could not imagine how this thing was made: it consisted of completely dismantled flesh, bones, armor fragments, and miscellaneous debris, scattered so evenly and perfectly that it was impossible to recognize any of them. A member, only the dark shards of spell-iron could still be discerned, let her know that at least one of the Amulets or Valar's guards was gone.

Maybe more than one.She concluded from the sheer size of the hill that at least twenty men had been cast into the spectacle, and that was far more than the number of guards Aconitum and Villar usually carried.She turned the blood mound gently with a wooden stick, but found nothing resembling a piece of sackcloth or a woman's long hair.But she knew that there were more than a few guards serving Villar and Aconitum, perhaps other servants and assistants were also added to this blood mound.

Ji Zangyu waded across the river, came over and tugged at her arm, beckoning her to follow him.Yareriga threw away the bloody stick and followed him into the woods beside the river bank.Following the thick and pungent blood trail, she saw Villar staggering and exploring in the forest.

He had obviously been stumbling around for a while, with disheveled hair and torn clothes, hoarsely calling out the name of the Aconitum, groping in the air with his bloodstained hands, almost tripping over the tree roots under his feet several times.

Allerica walked over silently.At this moment, the baby in her arms had stopped making noise and fell asleep contentedly.Yareriga put down the stone and softly called Villar's name.

Villar turned his head immediately.The blood on his face was as dark red as his robe, and there were two horrible holes where his eyes were.The attackers not only took away his eyeballs, but even cut off his eyelids precisely, making it impossible for him to hide his blindness.

"Jalai?" he said tremblingly, almost sobbing.

Yale Liga stared at his face for a while, then turned to look at Ji Zangyu.The boy shook his head at her silently, and pointed behind Villar.

Pointing to the ground with his toes, he floated across Villars like a breeze, deeper into the woods.Allerica followed him too, and when she passed Villars she could not help but glance at him, and saw that he still held in his hand the golden staff—but it had been cut by something very sharp. Broken, leaving only the bare half.

Her footsteps paused, crushing the dead leaves on the ground.Villar immediately scratched eagerly in her direction and began calling her name at the same time.Yale Liga evaded deftly, and stepped up to catch up with Ji Zangyu's figure.

The boy stopped a hundred meters away.When Allerica came to him, she first saw hundreds of birds.Sparrows, crows, pheasants, hawks, and owls, all these sharp-billed creatures, large and small, perched quietly on the treetops, watching the open space in the forest like sentinels.It wasn't until Ji Zangyu blew a whistle that they fluttered their wings and flew away, bringing up a gust of feather wind.

In the open space once surrounded by flocks of birds, the bushes and wild grass have been stained red with a lot of blood.A human head was stuck on top of a sharpened smoked wood stake, and the surface was covered with insects and ants.Allerica only took one look, and immediately recognized him from his scorched complexion and raven-feathered beard.That's the head of the Aconitum.

She went forward, found a few dead leaves and scraped off the insects and ants on the surface of the human head, revealing the severely eaten face of the aconitum.Although his face was mutilated and pitted, the extremely terrified and distorted expression was still not completely eclipsed, making it hard to imagine what he experienced in the moment before his death.Yareriga then poked his mouth and nostrils with a branch, and found that the skull was filled with a thick liquid like honey, and there were a few uniformly sized pieces of meat scattered in the grass, similar to what they saw by the river. The material of the blood mound is similar, which seems to indicate the place below the head of the aconitum.

His expression is so painful, no doubt he experienced great torture before his death.Yareriga even suspects that he was cut into pieces and staked while he was still alive.Is such torture enough retribution for him?She couldn't make a conclusion, but she couldn't add anything now.

Ji Zangyu waved his sleeves.A few emerald stars jumped out of it, igniting the aconitum and the whole stake, turning it into white ash in a blink of an eye.Together they watched the ashes disappear into the wind, and looked at each other.

Yale Liga knew that Ji Zangyu was thinking about the same question as her: who did this?
They turned back to Villars.After seeing the end of the Aconitum, Yarérica had to be surprised that Villar survived.That obviously didn't rely on Villar's strength, but why was the other party willing to spare his life?

She went back with doubts, and saw that Villar had fallen to the ground, calling her name eagerly like a child lost with its mother.He looked so pitiful and desolate that Yale Liga's mood was as bleak as Lin Feng's.

She handed the baby to Ji Zangyu, walked up to Villar and knelt down, calling his name.Vilar shuddered visibly, and reached out to her with a flinching yet longing hand.

"Yalai." He asked tremblingly, "Is that you?"

Yareriga responded, reaching out to caress his face, from the pale cheeks to the empty eye sockets, and poking a little further in.She exerted force as gently as dust, but Villar trembled even more.

But she didn't do anything else, just asked warmly and patiently: "Villar, what happened here?"

Her tone seemed to overwhelm Villar's emotions.He literally choked up like a child, babbling about how he had been attacked in the woods.

Before everything happened, Aconitum forbade Villar to enter the Bridge Prison again, saying that he would discuss some important situations with Mrs. Withered Leaf in person, and prevented her from bringing the dangerous child into the second peak.Villar wanted to get involved, but Aconitum's attitude was unusually severe, so he had to give up resentfully.It wasn't until the Skybridge Prison was burning that he rushed there in a hurry.Just on the way, he encountered a blood-stained Aconitum.

He was shocked by the way the old witch doctor was seriously injured.But Aconitum didn't explain anything to him, it just roared and told him to run away immediately, leave this forest, leave the second peak—leave this planet.

"She!" Villar heard the Aconitum roar hoarsely, "Here she is!"

It was clearly speaking of a woman, so Villar thought it was Yarérica.Before he had time to ask clearly, many dark shadows emerged from the corners of the sparse forest.They are as long as rope whiskers, as fast as lightning, as thin as paper, and sharper than razor blades.It was too late for Villar to see them in their entirety, and the shadows had already stretched out in front of his eyes.

He can no longer see anything.

In the endless darkness and excruciating pain, he was in a daze about everything that happened around him. He could only hear the distorted howl of the Aconitum, which lasted for more than ten minutes, and then the world became silent.He felt a cold and small creature standing in front of him, without the slightest movement of breathing.

"Who's there?" he asked almost frantically.

No one answered.The cold shadow receded, leaving him lost in the dark forest.The Aconitum never answered his call again.He can only linger until Yale Liga arrives.

"Don't leave me," Villar begged again.

Yale Liga didn't know what to do with this new piece of information.At this time, Ji Zangyu came over with an indecipherable expression.He pointed at Villar, as if he was asking Yale Liga how to deal with him.

Villars was still sobbing, looking terribly miserable.His appearance reminded Yale Liga of many past events, and she finally made up her mind.

"Villar." She took his hand and said softly, "Come with me."

Villar followed her and Ji Zangyu without any resistance.On the way, he held her loosely and tightly for a while, fearing her anger and fearing that he would be left behind.His thoughts were completely written on his face, and Yale Liga couldn't help but feel a little pity for him again.

They returned to the mountain where the prison guards were hanging, and Ji Cangyu stepped out of the flying red cloud, preparing to fly to the top of the mountain.But he stopped suddenly again, and looked up very vigilantly.

Yale Liga followed his line of sight and found a strange girl standing on the top of the peak.

A girl dressed in jet black and with a snow-white complexion.She stood quietly on the top of the cliff like a ghost, her long hair fluttering in the wind like a crow's feathers.When she looked down at the jailer below, dancing shadows stretched out from behind her, slowly probing towards the white rope at the bottom of the cliff.

Yale Liga heard Ji Zangyu spit out a word from her mouth.

"Assabam," he said.

He stepped on his foot suddenly, and Hongyun rushed towards the top of the cliff extremely swiftly.At the same time, the dancing shadow retreated slightly—like the bow of a poisonous snake before jumping out—and stabbed violently at the jailers at the bottom of the cliff.They pierced through the jailer from different directions at the same time, and then expanded like a hedgehog, countless thin and sharp spikes erupting in an instant.The blood flowed down, almost submerging the entire red cloud.

Ji Zangyu took a quick breath and waved her sleeves again.A layer of transparent light bubbles separated the blood waterfall from them, protecting Hongyun from climbing to the top of the cliff.

The dark long-haired girl was still standing on the top of the cliff, and the jailers who had been hanged upside down had turned into a pile of strangely shaped minced meat skewers.The girl glanced at them indifferently, and brushed away the flying hair with her hands.She looked closely at Ji Zangyu, and the hostility in her expression dissipated.

"You should have killed them yourself," she said. "This is the third."

Yale Liga saw that Ji Zangyu's face was slightly red with anger.

"He sent you?" he asked.

"No, the Great Master doesn't allow me to help you," said the girl, "If you can't come out by yourself, I won't do anything."

"Then what are you doing now?"

His voice was so obviously hostile that it made the long-haired girl a little confused and dissatisfied.She stared at Ji Zangyu, and said in the same cold and angry voice: "I am doing what you should do. You should cleanse the evil here, you should punish the corruption here, instead of letting the seeds of evil spread. They You deserve to be punished, but you only think about your own rules! The grand master shouldn't choose a cowardly person like you!"

Ji Zangyu ignored her words.He then asked, "Where are you taking those prisoners?"

"I sent them away and let them live in our place."

"Going to your place as a slave?"

The girl no longer argues.She stared at Ji Zangyu quietly for a while, then raised her left hand.She held a crystal ball in her hand, and when she turned it, Yareriga saw the dark rainbow bridge burning inside.

It was a kind of video spell prop sold openly by the White Tower.

"You still don't understand what we're after," said the girl, "but you will. The Great Master has seen everything, and what happened today will be told: how you wiped out the Second Peak and killed these sinners .It's just getting started, your name will only slowly spread - and one day, that name will represent our victory."

Ji Zangyu rushed over, as if trying to snatch the crystal ball from her hand.But the girl fell into the ground at once.She was swallowed by her own shadow and disappeared without a trace.The boy only had time to grab a few strands of her hair, and then stood there with an angry face.

He shook off the broken hair and walked to the edge of the cliff without a word.Yale Liga almost thought he was going to jump, but saw him retract the white rope and burn the remaining corpses to a mass of ashes.

Then he held the baby and sat on the edge of the cliff in a daze.

Yale Liga had many questions in her heart, but she also seemed to understand some secrets.She felt that the days ahead would be long, so she walked to Ji Zangyu's side, and tapped his shoulder lightly with her tail.

Ji Zangyu glanced back at her.

"I heard you have a boat," said Yarelliga. "I think it's probably still around here. Would you mind giving me a ride when you find it?"

Ji Zangyu hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded.Despite his despondency, he arose and set out to find his ship.Yale Liga agreed with him to meet here, and then went to deal with some of her own private affairs.

She has one last thing to settle.

Luckily, Villar was brought up together and listened to the entire conversation between the black-haired girl and Ji Zangyu.He didn't understand what happened at all, he just grabbed Yale Liga wholeheartedly, expressed his apology and thoughts to her, and begged her not to leave.

He looked so terrified that Allerica had to gently stroke his head with her hand to calm him down.That touch made her think of the past, that innocent and melancholy Villar, that young child, and although things were completely over, she found that she still seemed to love that shadow a little bit.

She led him to the edge of the peak and described to him the scenery she saw.The fire on the black rainbow has gradually been extinguished, and the sky has returned to calm. The brilliance of the setting sun covers the cloudless sky, as bright as red amber.She also saw pale golden rivers meandering to the end of the earth.From such a high place, there was no trace of the mound of blood at all.

It was an incomparably beautiful evening.

These descriptions cheered Villars up again.He reached into his bosom and took out a sheathed scimitar.Yale Liga accidentally discovered that it was "Debovira's No Regrets".

"Yalai, it should be yours." Villar was still saying this, full of admiration, "I just put it away temporarily, but I have already given it to you-we agreed Be different from Debowera."

At that moment Yale Liga felt real sadness and regret.She couldn't help imagining the possibility that if, just if, Villars didn't have that dream of Paradise, and they met in a more mundane and harmless place, in a thriving city full of flowers and music, it might be A better relationship.

She took the machete, stroked Villar's cheek and promised, "I'll make all the difference."

Villar smiled happily.So Yale Liga leaned forward and kissed his bloody face.She hugged him tenderly, before finally leaning into his ear.

"Villar," she whispered, "we parted."

With a sudden force, she pushed Villar off the cliff before he had time to startle, and watched him plummet, disappearing with the setting sun into the darkness of the abyss.It was all so quick and sudden, she thought it shouldn't be too painful.

It's all over.She put away the scimitar, and sat on the edge of the cliff in a daze until a shadow was shrouded above her head.Allerica raised her head strangely.

She saw a huge spaceship with wings like a black swallow floating above her head.

Ji Zangyu floated down from the boat, still holding the baby in her arms.He looked around with displeasure, and asked her, "Let's go?"

"Of course." Yareriga said.She stared at the ship, curious about its origin.

A new wandering has begun.

 Big chapter, so late, sorry.
