Chapter 1251: Chapter 1246: Zi Wei Accompanies Her
That’s why they were attacking so fiercely, not allowing anyone to intrude.
“Your Highness, be careful—the corpse poison has become even more vicious!” an injured Shadow Guard warned her.
The Shadow Guard had just been scratched by the corpse, and the blood had instantly changed color. He quickly cut off the piece of flesh to stop the spread of the poison.
These corpses were clearly more difficult to deal with and more lethal than those they had encountered when entering Hangzhou City!
“Everyone be careful!” Su Yingxue swung her sword at the corpse.
But what she didn’t expect was that the corpse still had its own consciousness. One of them had been observing her from behind and, the moment she let her guard down slightly, it pounced on her, emitting a strange cry, “Ah—!”
Su Yingxue was caught off guard and felt the fetid, bloody smell when the corpse opened its mouth to attack her. She was about to swing her sword in retaliation when she suddenly sensed a blade slicing through the air. The corpse on her body seemed to explode, falling to the ground in pieces.
Su Yingxue looked up in astonishment as a dark silhouette landed, pulled her up, and shielded her from the group of corpses. With a sweep of his sword, three corpses had their heads severed.
As the blade swept through the air, the foul blood of the corpses sprayed out, but it was repelled by the man’s palm, not a single drop of it touched Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue, looking at his profile, unconsciously called out, “Zi Wei?”
Was it him?
Zi Wei turned his face toward her, saying nothing, but Su Yingxue was suddenly startled and let go of his hand.
“It’s… it’s you.”
Regaining her composure, Su Yingxue reassured herself that this man was not Zi Wei.
There were… perhaps similarities between him and Zi Wei.
Their martial arts were equally unmatched in strength.
After setting Su Yingxue down, Zi Wei charged into the group of corps, like an unsheathed blade gleaming with sharp cold light, cutting them down at a speed they couldn’t react to.
A quarter of an hour later, all the corpses were in pieces, and in front of the Shadow Guards lay a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Su Yingxue looked at the scene before her, feeling stunned.
She bowed to Zi Wei, “Thank you!”
He had saved her and cleared the path for her.
Zi Wei’s throat moved slightly, worried she might leave her behind, he then said, “Inside the canyon, there are people.”
He had arrived earlier than her and was preparing to go up when he was drawn over by her to assist in killing the corpse group. He had already explored and discovered traces of someone surviving in the canyon.
Su Yingxue, in a hurry, ran into the canyon.
Zi Wei and the remaining Shadow Guards followed.
But when they arrived, the canyon was deserted, with only used items left behind, chopsticks made of twigs, and a pile of hay that looked like bedding.
Su Yingxue could hardly imagine that Miaomiao, who grew up pampered and well-provided for from a young age, had survived in such a place; she didn’t know how long they had been there.
After examining these traces of life, Zi Wei estimated the time accurately, “One month.”
Su Yingxue was surprised, “How did you know?”
“Food scraps, fire pits, the moisture level of the hay.”
Zi Wei picked up several straws, which still had dried blood on them. After sniffing, he told Su Yingxue, “The scents of the blood, inconsistent.”
Meaning, the blood from the person resting on this dry hay was continuously flowing.
Su Yingxue’s mind raced to a thought, “Miaomiao must have given birth to a child, and she must have been very weak afterwards, so the blood kept flowing, and living conditions here are so harsh…”
How much suffering had her Miaomiao endured!
What do you think?
