Chapter 79: The Man Who Commanded Them
Dream frightened and frowned slightly, how could there be a light in the Shadow Flower Forest?
Or hanging on a branch?
When she passed by here last night, it was obviously dark, and there was no spark in sight, otherwise, Xiao Zuo would not have specially brought her a lantern to illuminate.
She flew up the tree, took down the green lantern, and was cold in her hand, as if she were holding an ice cube.
Why is this green lantern so icy?
She furrowed her brows and looked at the lamp, which was wrapped in a small celadon lampstand wrapped in a cyan glazed cloth, which was hollow and filled with half a tube of black oil.
The lamp oil stinks, like the smell of rotting meat, which is disgusting.
She picked out the lamp oil with her dagger, and found some engravings inside the lampstand, like broken words, and like ...... Spell.
Dream Zhenlan's brows furrowed even deeper, this green lantern is full of weirdness, and it is by no means a good product.
"Miss, did you catch it?"
Xiao Zuo ran over, thinking that Meng Jinglan had caught the mouse, but when he saw her holding a green lantern in her hand, he couldn't help asking, "Where did the eldest lady pick up this lantern?" ”
She remembered that there were no lights in the woods.
Meng Jinglan looked at the sky, and it was no longer enough to make tea at the moment of departure, so he handed the green lantern to Xiao Zuo and explained: "There is a problem with this lamp, take care of it, don't touch it casually." ”
Xiao Zuo took the green lantern, was shivering from the cold, smelled the stench of the lamp oil, almost vomited, suppressed the feeling of nausea, nodded and said: "The slave knows, don't worry, the slave and the maid must not touch it." ”
This lamp stinks, she won't touch it if she kills her!
Meng Jinglan nodded, and walked towards the martial arts training ground at a faster pace.
After they left, twenty-three shadows floated out of the woods, and in their hands they all held a shabby green lantern.
Twenty-three shadows stood in place, their noses sniffing violently at the smell around them, as if to confirm something.
In a few moments, twenty-three shadows were finally confirmed, and they collectively disappeared into the early morning mist.
……
When Meng Jinglan and Xiao Zuo came to the martial arts training ground, it was neither early nor late, it was exactly one hour (seven and fifteen in the morning)
This is exactly the time that Dream Storm gave to the people of the Soul King's Mansion to kneel up.
Her gaze swept over the subordinates in the martial arts training ground, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a vigilance rose in her heart.
After a night of grinding, these people were still kneeling straight, and everyone's face was not tired, but energetic.
Staying up all night kneeling in front of the corpse, and still being so energetic...... Problematic!
These subordinates did not look at the dream, but at the sundial (gui)
When the pointer of the sundial pointed to the hour, they stood up and said with a smile: "Morning, Miss! ”
The voice was loud and clear, without a trace of dullness, not at all like a person who stayed up late to punish kneeling.
Dream frightened lips hooked, raised a chuckle, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger.
The smiles of these people are so fake, and their reactions are so uniform, as if they have been specially rehearsed and specially made for her to see.
Dream was shocked, and her keen intuition told her that the Soul King's Mansion had not been cleared yet, and there was still a person hidden in the mansion, who was controlling this group of subordinates!
Let this group of subordinates play in front of her, paralyze her thinking, and make her lose her vigilance.
It's just that the acting skills of this group of subordinates are not very good, and she found clues in their state.
But...... Who is the one who controls this group of subordinates?
After thinking about it for a while, she thought about it, the ...... The man in black who was injured by her.
After the man fled, he disappeared, and it seemed that the man ...... It is very likely that it is someone from the Soul King's Mansion.
Dream frightened her eyes narrowed, it seems that she should be more careful, there is still a time bomb hidden in this palace, and the slightest carelessness will blow her to pieces!
