Chapter 5: Cicadas

My hunch turned out to be not wrong.

The Seven have been paying attention to me for a long time.

From the moment I entered the city, the eyes on my back were like jackals.

I rubbed the dagger that sank into my lower abdomen, and my brain went blank for a moment.

It's a kind of blank space that can't be thought about for a while.

"Little slut, I got it so easily."

Qing Jue sneered, revealing a cruel smile.

I regained my composure, felt the huge pain in my abdomen, stared at Qingjue, and fell into a trance for a while.

It turns out that a child can have such a terrifying expression on his face.

It turns out that a person's eyes can really deceive others.

Originally...... I'm still too easy to believe.

Too young, heh, the word has finally been used on me.

Holding back the heart-crushing pain, I grinned and pulled out a smile

"Huh? What are you laughing at? The time of death is approaching, so you are becoming happy? Hee-hee-hee! โ€

"Qingjue" let out a strange and poignant laugh, sounding like a terrifying beast, but in an instant, he seemed to change his face and became pitiful.

"Sister...... There's a lot of blood, it's so scary ......"

Seeing that I didn't speak, he put on that gloomy face again and said, "The seven of us made a bet to fight with the master of the Burial Flower Valley, what is it...... How many will die? โ€

He gently stroked my body with his hand, his eyes greedy and infatuated, and then pinched my xiong fiercely, rubbed it and said hideously: "I can't imagine that the owner of this burial flower valley really deserves his reputation, this face is matched with this figure, tsk." Hey? I said, "Why can't I find it?" โ€

Qing Jue slowly took the fish intestine sword out of my arms.

"He is worthy of being a descendant of the Burial Flower Valley who is proficient in all kinds of strange obscenities. He hid the dagger here. โ€

Qing Jue looked at the fish intestine sword, stroking it and being amazed.

I looked at his pure and immature face, and said slowly: "You just said that if the seven of you fight with me, a few people will die. โ€

Qing Jue looked at me coldly and said, "It's a pity that we overestimated you. โ€

I sighed, brushed the blood from the corners of my mouth, smiled at the corners of my mouth, and said, "I'm a killer." You dare to touch something that the killer has used. โ€

When Qingjie heard my words, his face was shocked, and the dagger fell to the ground with a click. Hurriedly lowered his head to check his hands.

This sight immediately made him scream.

It turned out that at some point, the hands of the Qing Jue had already rotted their flesh and skin, revealing their white bones.

"You slut!!"

With blood at the corners of his mouth, he let out a terrible cry with a terrifying face and pounced on me.

I lay on the ground, looked at him coldly, and didn't move.

Or rather, it can't be moved at all.

"Ahh!!hh You slut, I'm going to kill you!! โ€

"Itchy!! It's so itchy!!! โ€

Qing Jue didn't get close to me, so he couldn't help but roll wildly on the ground, clutching his whole body desperately with both hands, as if he wanted to tear off his skin.

"It's so itchy!! It's so itchy!! โ€

He screamed on the ground, as if he was about to vomit out his soul.

But what I saw was that his hands had scratched his face, torn his clothes, and his body gradually reddened, festered, and slowly emitted a foul smell.

Peach Blossom Burial โ€“

This is one of the poisons in the Valley of Burial Flowers, as the name suggests, after suffering from this poison, people will endure a period of torture and pain, towards death, and then the body will slowly fall apart, shattered into pieces of objects, and when the wind blows, they will be scattered in the sky and the earth, and they will be missing.

It sounds beautiful, but I don't like the way it looks.

Because, I think it's a kind of stain on beauty.

"Sister, Qing is so scared...... I'm scared...... Sister save me......"

Qingjie curled up in a ball, and stretched out his hand to me on a dying note, his eyes revealing the same pitiful feeling as before.

I picked up the fish intestine sword on the ground, slowly pulled it out, and looked at Qing Jue dying on the ground, with a complicated expression.

Poofโ€”

Blood splattered all over me, and the pink blood with the poison stained my simple and beautiful robe poignantly.

I cut off my severed head.

Seven days later.

I arrived at a place called the Land of Black Sand.

This small, almost obscure country is a long way from the former town of Ju'an.

I rode the unique flower wing eagle in the Valley of Burial Flowers, and it took me three days to arrive.

I had a hunch in my heart and seemed to understand why the client had chosen to meet in this place.

I walked into the gates of the Land of Black Sands, and my brow furrowed.

Here, it seems, a terrible slaughter has been suffered.

There was a pungent smell of blood and a foul smell in the air, and as far as the eye could see, pieces of corpses were piled up everywhere.

It seemed that most of them were civilians, with a few scattered soldiers in torn armor.

I was only slightly taken aback, and I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

It is not uncommon for such small countries to be invaded and occupied by more powerful powers.

I found a place to stay and sat down.

I touched the wound on my stomach and couldn't help but moan.

It seems that even the elixir immortal grass in the Burial Flower Valley, which is known as a rare sight in the world, cannot let his wounds heal quickly.

I've decided to abandon this assignment since seven days ago.

I had to give up this task.

Or rather, I had to give up on this task. Because, I have more important things to do.

The world outside the Valley of Burial Flowers is really fascinating and intoxicating.

This place is called the King's Realm, and I suddenly developed a fanatical love for it.

If I had life to love.

I mentally counted the time, and knew that the client must have gone inside the city gate.

I stood up, hid the sword in my sleeve, and walked towards the depths of the Land of Black Sands.

As early as when I was on the Winged Eagle, I spotted his traces from the air.

He was accompanied by an assassin, a magician, an archer, a warrior, and a giant of great size.

The seven people really live up to their reputation.

A cold smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.
