Chapter 1141: The Woman with a Sword on Her Shoulder
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao expressionlessly gave a few glances at the woman with a sword on her shoulder, then turned her eyes to Si Kongchen, who was standing beside her.
“I didn’t know Chief Si has such a pretty lady with you. You are a lucky guy! What brought you two here?” Lin Qiao didn’t respond to the woman but gave Si Kongchen a faint smile and asked.
The woman was at level-seven, but Lin Qiao had never heard anything about her. Clearly, Si Kongchen had her hidden well, or she was hiding herself deeply.
Si Kongchen glanced at Lan Lu, then said, “I heard there’s a level-eight fire beast, so I came here to see if I have the luck to pocket it.”
He definitely wouldn’t tell about his true purpose. He was good at word-choosing. Luck? He was here to take what he wanted from someone else’s hands with violence.
Lin Qiao, of course, understood his meaning. She turned and cast a glance at the fire bear, which was still under her suppression.
“Roar!” In the black sphere, the bear was still roaring and struggling. It wasn’t able to break free from the dark sphere though. Lin Qiao couldn’t absorb all the bear’s energy at one time, but she was able to suppress it with all her power.
She turned back and looked at Si Kongchen as she said with a cold smile, “Chief Si, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to go somewhere else to see if there’re other fire beasts. This fire bear is mine now. You’re not gonna try to take it from me, are you?”
After saying that, she stared at Si Kongchen while a beam of light flashed across his eyes.
“Of course, we won’t try to take it from you. You see, you can’t kill the bear all by yourself, so why don’t you give it to us in case it ran away? If it managed to escape, no one would get its nucleus.” The attractive woman with a sword on her shoulder said with a grin. Lin Qiao ignored her just now, but she didn’t seem to mind.
Lin Qiao looked at her and maintained the smile on her face as she said, “Miss, why would I give my prey to you? How do you know that I can’t kill it all by myself? Don’t worry, I am totally able to kill it. So now, can you give me a fair reason why should I give it to you?”
“Don’t you have an injured man? Why don’t you hurry up and take him back to the base for some medical help? Aren’t you afraid that you might waste too much time on the bear and worsen the man’s condition?” Before the woman answered the question, Si Kongchen turned to Lan Lu and said.
Lan Lu shrugged, said, “Chief Si is right.” But despite what he said, he made no movement.
While speaking, Lin Qiao had been boosting her power to control the dark sphere.
“Do you need a reason for that? It’s jungle law. Who has the power gets the prey. You claim that you’re able to kill it, but why isn’t it dead yet? Since you can’t do it, why don’t you let me do it?” The woman with a sword on her shoulder said. Before finis.h.i.+ng talking, she suddenly dropped the sword and charged at Lin Qiao, wielding her sword toward her.
Lin Qiao knitted her brows as she waved her free hand at the woman and released a stream of dark fire. The fire split up into over a thousand tiny black fire snakes within a blink and scattered as they approached the woman in a fan-shaped formation.
Seeing Lin Qiao suddenly release a ma.s.sive wave of tiny dark fire snakes, the woman slightly widened her eyes. She thought Lin Qiao was suppressing the level-eight fire bear with all her power and had no spare energy to fight her. Lin Qiao blocked her sword with bear hand just now, but the woman thought that was an accident.
Now, as Lin Qiao had sent thousands of black fire snakes toward her, the woman quickly raised her sword to cut the snakes. In the next second, she disappeared from where she was.
Lin Qiao slightly raised her brows when the woman disappeared. Next, she abruptly raised her free hand and faced the sky with her palm.
Clang! Following the metallic click, the sword that was descending toward Lin Qiao’s head was slapped away by her. The long sword was turned and shot off. Before it landed, someone flashed across the air and caught it.
As a zombie emperor, Lin Qiao was sure that she was able to deal with a level-seven superpower possessor with only one hand. She only needed to watch out for Si Kongchen. Besides, the woman with a sword didn’t seem to have put her real power in use yet.
“Not bad! You have some abilities indeed!” The woman caught the sword and disappeared again. In the next second, she reappeared by Si Kongchen’s side, then nodded at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao made no reaction to her words, but once again boosted her power to control the fire that was devouring the bear.
“Roar!” The bear sounded painful.
At that moment, the woman turned to ask Si Kongchen, “Didn’t you tell me she has poisonous mist? How come she has fire power now?”
Si Kongchen looked at Lin Qiao and Lan Lu expressionlessly as he responded, “She might have mutated.”
Hearing the bear’s screams, he didn’t seem to be anxious at all. He had decided to fight Lin Qiao over the bear, but it looked like he didn’t mind Lin Qiao killing it.
As Si Kongchen showed no intention of starting a serious battle, Lin Qiao flashed across the air and showed up right above the dark fireball that had the bear wrapped in it.
The woman looked at Lin Qiao, then abruptly smiled and said, “You are pretty.”
Lin Qiao nodded at her with composure and said, “Thank you.”
“My name is Xie Longyun!” The woman continued smilingly, “I’ve heard about you. I heard that you were a commoner a year ago, and that you relied on men for survival. But in a year, you’ve become a level-eight being. I’m so impressed!”
Xie Longyun sounded peaceful. She wasn’t taunting the old Lu Tianyu nor mocking Lin Qiao. Her words gave out no discrimination. No negative feelings were generated by her tone of speaking. However, from deep in her mind, Lin Qiao sensed her scorn and the hidden disdain.
Lin Qiao maintained the small smile on her face as she looked at Xie Longyun and said, “So?”
Xie Longyun propped the sword on the ground, then flipped her long hair over her shoulder with the other hand, “Nothing, I’m just curious. Don’t you think that’s not something that ordinary people can do? Think about it. Some people spent seven years to reach your level.”
While speaking, she glanced at Si Kongchen and Lan Lu.
On hearing her words, both Si Kongchen and Lan Lu turned to Lin Qiao. The looks in their eyes weren’t the same. Si Kongchen had agreement in his eyes while the look in Lan Lu’s eyes was profound and mysterious.
She was a zombie with human memory. As long as she was determined enough, she wouldn’t fail to upgrade. The ordinary zombies were too weak-minded. That was why they often failed to break into higher levels.
