CHAPTER 928: CHAPTER 904: ENERGY DEPLETION

Wu Yang wiped off some sweat. In just two days, he went from a stylish man to looking no different from a beggar.

He turned to look at the four of them.

To his surprise, Jiang Xiaoxiao was elegantly tying her braid, her face clean and not a single strand of hair out of place.

Wu Yang wondered if the two of them were going through the same ordeal?

They seemed carefree as if they were on a camping trip, while he looked like a wild dog being chased by a hunter, in a sorry state.

"Xiao Xiao, I think we’re lost!"

Wu Yang felt a bit desperate. No compass, no GPS, and even the phone had no signal.

All that was left were the vast mountains around them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the terrain, indeed, they were lost.

They were now off the original path.

"Let’s go, follow me, we can always find our way back."

Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t confident, but there was no other choice. The school had become an unreachable goal.

Not knowing where the school was, at least they had to survive in these mountains.

The Medicine God Association wouldn’t actually let them die.

If they weren’t dead, they would survive.

A journey ended with Bai Xiao’s scream.

A corpse, female, wearing what looked like a typical student uniform, the whole body seemed drained of blood and flesh in an instant, leaving only dried skin on bones.

The distorted face indicated a painful death, yet the expression was serene, not showing anger or fear.

This was a horrifying scene that didn’t need imagination, sufficient to frighten anyone.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had seen many gruesome emergency cases.

But she really didn’t know how something heavy could turn a person into this, or what kind of method could achieve such a result.

All she knew was that the killer was familiar with the victim since the attack was personal.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was disturbingly calm.

"Is this one of our students?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought she had seen that outfit before.

It looked very familiar.

It seemed like one of the students.

Bai Xiao peeked and, after careful observation, provided a confirmed answer.

"Yes! I’ve seen this girl, her name is Guo Ruqi, I think she’s ranked around fifty in the class, people always said she was really lucky. She was walking with the other students just now. How did this happen?"

Bai Xiao, his face pale with fright, still confidently answered.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked around, "This person was killed, the marks on her show it’s not from a wild animal, the victim’s body is almost completely drained of blood, no muscle left, even if it was done by a person, we can confirm the killer has extraordinary abilities.

Most female homicide victims are killed by someone they know.

Looking at the marks here, Guo Ruqi clearly didn’t put up much of a struggle before she was killed, so it’s very likely that the killer was someone Guo Ruqi knew."

"How can you be so sure?"

Wu Yang, suppressing the urge to vomit, flipped over the corpse on the ground, just one more look made him want to puke.

"Whether or not we’re sure, we have to deal with this. We can’t contact anyone from the Medicine God Association right now, and no one can help us. Do you guys have a camera?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao so calmly speak, Wu Yang thought the woman in front of him was too cold-blooded.

How could she still care about a camera?

"Are you crazy? What can a camera do? You’re not seriously going to photograph her like this, are you?"

Wu Yang was somewhat angry, this woman wanted to capture the scene.

What a vile act!

Xiao Yue weakly raised her hand. Her presence had only been noticed because of the food; this was probably her first appearance here.

"I have a camera!"

"Take a picture of her! Then we’ll bury the body."

Xiao Yue couldn’t argue back, take a picture!? Of a dead person!?

She handed over the camera with trembling hands.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hands didn’t even shake, she snapped two photos.

Took out a dagger.

Don’t ask where it’s from, just say it’s from the storage ring.

Wu Yang’s eyes widened.

"Xiao Xiao, you... have storage space? Oh, is your ring that? My grandpa gave me one! I thought it was useless!"

He circled around Jiang Xiaoxiao, eyes fixed on her finger.

Jiang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, "Find a tool to dig a hole, do some good deeds!"

Wu Yang instantly understood.

"Bury her?"

Howling wolves came from a distance.

Wu Yang jumped in fright.

The other three girls also began to gather branches and such to use as tools and started digging.

Two people held their noses and dragged the body down to bury it.

They placed a wooden marker, simply writing ’Guo Ruqi’.

Jiang Xiaoxiao silently bowed.

Farewell, this is the least we can do for you.

The five of them started moving forward again.

Bai Xiao moved closer to Jiang Xiaoxiao, so did Xiao Yue, except for the oblivious Liu Yun.

Jiang Xiaoxiao almost tripped over Bai Xiao, "Bai Xiao, don’t do that, otherwise we can’t move, it’s going to get dark soon."

"Xiao Xiao, I’m scared, Guo Ruqi died so tragically, I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Xiao Yue nodded, "Me too, I always feel like there’s someone in the bushes! Now I’m not even that afraid of animals, who did this out of nowhere?"

Such a lively person turned into this within a blink, it’s terrifying.

The young girl encountering a murder case on her first outing; it’s only natural to be scared.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t offer comfort, she was also in shock.

Now faced with a murder, Jiang Xiaoxiao wondered if she’d stepped into an even more mysterious world.

A simple pill had turned into a suspense drama.

That night, yet another sleepless night in a cave.

It was Jiang Xiaoxiao’s turn to keep watch.

Staring at the blazing campfire, Jiang Xiaoxiao called out to Number Nine.

"Xiao Nine, what happened? Why did someone die today?"

Number Nine appeared weak and listless.

Looking like it was on the brink of death, "Sis, I need an energy boost, I just know someone’s targeting your group of students for hunting; I can’t do much else, take care of yourself. I need to rest."

The voice became weaker, Jiang Xiaoxiao was worried.

"Xiao Nine, Number Nine! What’s wrong with you? What kind of energy do you need? How can I help you?"

Why was Number Nine so weak? Was chasing Number Ten really this exhausting?

"Sis! Tearing through space requires a lot of energy! I had barely brought you into this space and then tore through space again, this space lacks the energy to replenish me, so I’m this weak.

If you want to help me, find... find the Nothing Flower... I’m going to sleep now. Be careful, sis... be careful..."

"Careful of what? Who should I be careful of?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a powerful force strike from behind.

She rolled on the spot, it was an intense sense of danger, forcing her to react instantly.

"Wu Yang!"

A shadow brushed past Jiang Xiaoxiao’s back, if not for her gaining an S+ upgrade in strength in the other world, that hammer would have smashed into the back of her head.

It barely grazed her.

Wu Yang jumped up in fright.

Grabbing a dagger, he charged over, while the shadow instantly vanished.

The cold wind brushed by, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

The night suddenly became freezing!
