Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013
“Isn’t it a good thing that you can come in? Why are you all so dejected?”
Yuan Hehe opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his body went limp, and he fell down.
The Dragon-Headed Fish had bitten his ankle, and one of his tendons had been severed.
He was already having a hard time swimming just now, but he was afraid that
Jiang Ming and the others would be worried, so he did not tell them.
In the darkness, Jiang Ming did not notice Yuan Hehe’s condition. He did not continue walking forward and tripped over Yuan Hehe’s body. He knew that someone had been injured, so he cried out in alarm.
“Who’s lying down?”
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but panic.
“It should be Yuan Hehe, right?”
“Oh right, I forgot to turn on the lights. Don’t be afraid when you see what’s in front of you.”
Ning Keke suddenly remembered and hesitated.
Jiang Ming was speechless. “What’s the situation now? Are you still afraid of us? The most important thing now is to take a look at Yuan Hehe i s wound.”
Yuan Hehe endured the pain in his body and comforted everyone. “I’m fine.
Don’t worry.”
“Who disturbed my sleep?”
At this moment, a shout suddenly cut through the air. It sounded like the voice of a young man.
Ning Keke could not help but laugh.
“Is that a child pretending to be an old man?”
The voice was instantly enraged. “Little girl, how can you be so disrespectful?
Do you know who I am?”
“Do you know who I am?” Ning Keke asked arrogantly. “With your status, you might even have to kowtow to me.”
The voice did not continue.
However, a few bats suddenly appeared around them.
They were different from ordinary bats. They were large and vicious. Their claws scratched the ground, and they spat out some darts.
These darts carried a lot of venom, and they spat it at Jiang Ming and the others.
Due to the dim light, Jiang Ming and the others could not see clearly and did not know that there was poison on them. They could not help but catch the darts.
Jiang Ming was about to take a closer look at what was on the darts when he felt some mucus in his hand.
He seemed to have understood something and immediately brought Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan to the corner.
When the bats saw their actions, they attacked even more fiercely.
They waved their claws and slashed at the faces of Jiang Ming and the others.
Jiang Ming raised his hand, grabbed one bat’s leg, and threw it out.
The bat was smashed into the ground by him, but it did not give up and continued to fly up.
“It’s not too late for you to beg for mercy now. As long as you kneel down and kowtow three times to me, I won’t let these bats attack you.”
That voice sounder again.
This time, the voice sounded a little older, as if it was responding to Ning Keke’s mockery.
Ning Keke put her hands on her hips and said, “l am the eldest daughter of the Ning family. Your cave has been guarded by the Ning family for generations. Now, it is time to disperse these bats according to etiquette and let us in.”
She knew what this thing was. It was the guardian of a divine beast.
However, she also knew that this guardian god was useless.
After so many years of exposure, its spiritual energy had long been exhausted. Now, it was just an empty shell.
Even these bats were just useless.
At this moment, Jiang Ming suddenly realized that there seemed to be something invisible in front of him. That thing was observing them in the dark, but it did not come out.
He raised his hand to stop Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe.
“Be careful. There seems to be something we don’t know about here.” After Jiang Ming said this, the others also noticed the situation here and discovered it. They could not help but step forward.
“l don’t believe it. What else can there be?”
Jiang Ming immediately stopped Yuan Hehe and pulled him back. “It’s better not to take the initiative to look for it. If it wants to come out, it will come out on its own.”
These words made everyone fall silent.
However, the thing in the dark seemed to understand what Jiang Ming said and stood up involuntarily.
It was a child covered in wounds. This child’s body was wrapped in some vines.
These vines seemed to be alive and kept moving.
His body was covered in blood.
Jiang Ming was stunned.
It was obvious that this child had been tortured. Who had tortured him to this state?
Yuan Hehe saw that the child seemed to be similar to him and could not help but sympathize with him. “You can come with us. We can take you out.”
“I heard that there’s a young lady from the Ning family. so I came over to take a look.” The child pushed Yuan Hehe away and smiled sinisterly.
“However, I want to know if killing the eldest daughter of the Ning family will really result in bad treatment?”
“Who are you?” Ning Keke’s face darkened when she heard this. She could not help but curse at him. “Who allowed you to come here?”
“You’re not the guardian of this place at all. I remember that there was only one person here. Do you think you can see the guardian god? Did you think their power would weaken? Don’t worry, they’re even stronger than before.”
The child took out a vine in his hand and threw it at Jiang Ming and the others.
Jiang Ming raised his hand to block it with a barrier, and a barrier immediately appeared beside him.
With the previous lesson in mind, he felt that it was time to protect the people around him.
However, the vine did not go for him. Instead, it slid along the barrier and arrived in front of Ning Keke.
Ning Keke i s face was immediately wrapped by the vines. They were tightly wrapped around her and kept absorbing the spiritual energy in her body. Not long after, her body became weak, and she collapsed to the ground like
Yuan Hehe.
“What enmity does the eldest daughter of the Ning family have with you?” Yuan Hehe hurried forward to check on Ning Keke.
However, Ning Keke kicked him away and shook her head. “Don’t come over. You’ll be sucked in too.’
She suddenly remembered what this thing was. This child was probably transformed by the monster in an attempt to deceive others.
Who would have thought that everyone would be fooled by this?
No matter what, there could not be a second person involved now.
“Hey, I just wanted to save you.. What are you doing? Miss Ning, aren’t we teammates?”
