Chapter 215: Deal


    “Where… are they?”


    Su Xiaoxiao curled up in pain. Chen Ran’s palm strike was surprisingly strong. It damaged her heavily. Plus, her wrist was broken. Every movement brought her great pain.


    “I’m asking you a question…” After the growl, Chen Ran’s madness was taken over by a murderous intent. He didn’t expect his prey to have tricked him. Plus, his prey used her life to slow him down.


    Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking. She merely chuckled lowly. Since she was in a fetal position, Chen Ran had the impression she wasughing so hard that she had to hold her stomach.


    He walked forward and broke Su Xiaoxiao’s ankle with a stomp. The sound it made wasn’t as melodious as he wanted. Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. She sucked in a cold breath but didn’t make a sound.


    Her blood soaked the ground underneath them. Both of them didn’t notice the strange thing happening around them. The blood was drawn by some strange power to approach the stone te. The moment the blood touched the te, a red light suddenly expanded. It became a dome to cover the entire stone te and its nearby space.


    There were a lot of cracking noises. Chen Ran narrowed his eyes at the white stone te that was covered by the blood mist. The noises… came from the pile of bones on the te. They were shivering and grinding against each other. In his subconsciousness, he heard a shrillughter, one that preluded the hunt. The bones… seemed like they were about to stand up in the next second.


    Then, something strange urred. Flesh gathered around the pale bones. It became a scene from hell.


    Chen Ran took several steps back. The murderous intent in his eyes slowly dissipated. Then, he was assaulted by dizziness. Strange images appeared before his eyes. Some were branded into his brain. A giant wooden boat, the weapons on their shoulders, thences, the inscrutable symbols…Many strangely dressed people stood in a circle. They held each other’s hands. They prostrate on the ground. They cried, and theyughed. Women in unusual ceremonial clothes poured fresh blood on their bodies. Crows circled above them. Underneath their feet were corpses of seagulls…


    The images were injected into Chen Ran’s brain. He couldn’t forget them even if he wanted to. At the same time, he felt a strong sense of unwillingness and hatred.


    In the next second, Chen Ran’s eyes suddenly glowed. He smiled and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was rendered speechless and dull by the inexplicable images. “Miss Su, I’ll have to leave first. Enjoy yourself.” Then, before the flesh fully attached itself to the bones, Chen Ran turned and ran into the forest.


    Fatty, who was nearby, had been fully dominated by the shocking images in his mind and the gory scenes urring on the stone te. He didn’t even notice Chen Ran had left. He remained in this state… until the Doctor appeared in his sight.


    Jiang Cheng ran towards Su Xiaoxiao at a very fast speed.


    Fatty, who reacted, instantly wanted to stop him since the things on the stone te had already started to stand up. Fatty gritted his teeth and ran to catch up to the Doctor.


    As he entered the bloody dome, Jiang Cheng felt a huge pressure on him. He rushed to Su Xiaoxiao’s side to examine her wounds. Fatty soon joined him.


    Su Xiaoxiao was lying prone on the ground. Her one arm and one leg were bent in an unnatural angle.


    “You can’t move on your own,” Jiang Cheng lifted his head and said directly, “With your injuries, I can’t bring you with me.”


    Su Xiaoxiao moved slightly. Then, she nodded, “I know.”


    For some reason, when he heard that, Fatty felt sorry for the woman before him.


    “What did Chen Ran tell you?” Jiang Cheng didn’t waste time. After all, the things on the stone te were taking shape. They’d start the massacre stone. Time was limited.


    Su Xiaoxiao sat up, withstanding the pain. However, with the broken parts of her body, it was hard to do so. Fatty stared at her wounds and her bloody chest. His heart went out to her. However, this strong woman stared at Jiang Cheng and refused to speak.


    “Other than trusting me, you have no other choices,” Jiang Cheng said, “If you help me, I’ll try my best to save your brother.”


    Su Xiaoxiao swallowed the blood in her mouth. She croaked, “Deal!


    “There… is a clue on the side of the right pir outside the first stone door. There’s a painting carved on it.” Su Xiaoxiao nced at the stone te and spoke quickly, “Also, it was Chen Ran who triggered this mission. He has the clue newspaper article.”


    “Doctor,” Fatty noticed the struggling corpses on the te. “We need to leave, or none of us can leave anymore!”


    Jiang Cheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao. His lips moved, but Su Xiaoxiao cut him off. She used one hand to cover her stomach to stop the blood from flowing. “I know… what you’re thinking.”


    Jiang Cheng sighed and nodded. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you.”


    After that, he pulled Fatty, and the two raced towards the forest. The strange humanoid creatures on the stone te had fully awakened. At first, their actions were sluggish. However, they slowly regained control of their bodies.


    Su Xiaoxiao used thest of her energy to grab thence Chen Ran dropped on the ground. She stood up with difficulty. Just as the first creature was about to leave the stone te, Su Xiaoxiao shuffled to the te’s side.


    The next second, she tossed away thence and jumped at the stone te.


    The flesh on the bones fell off again. The piles of bones crashed to the ground. The dome of bloody light around the space rewound. Everything reverted to how it was… like no one had ever been there before.
