Chapter 693: Sneak Attack!

Chapter 693: Sneak Attack!

On the whole, this stream of water was as clear as ever. Only when one went in to take a closer look could they see shards of rainbow glow in the stream.

It was as if someone shattered rainbow crystals and scattered them into the water—dazzling and as magnificent as ever.

Compared to the previous scene, it was two completely different worlds.

Chu Liuyue glanced at Tuan Zi from the corner of her eye.

Tuan Zi stretched out its claws and pointed forward as it stared at her.

“You want us to follow the stream and walk up?” Chu Liuyue tried to ask.

Tuan Zi nodded crazily.

Chu Liuyue turned around and looked at the upper bank of the stream.

The stream of water was very narrow, and Chu Liuyue could step past it with one step across. It seemed to come from the forest’s depths, and it led to another direction.

Chu Liuyue followed the water stream and looked over as she squinted her eyes. The source of the stream water seems like…

Roar!

A terrifying roar sounded—it was earth-shattering!

Compared to the previous few sounds, it was much clearer than before. This also meant that they were much closer to the ninth-grade fiend that was about to break through!

Moreover, this sound made Chu Liuyue confirm that the stream of water was flowing down from where the fiend was.

The rainbow color glowing in the water might even be related to that fiend!

Chu Liuyue thought for a moment, lifted her legs, and went forward.

Qiang Wanzhou and the rest immediately followed her silently. It was as if Chu Liuyue became their leader unknowingly.

It was as if all the problems would be solved with her around.

There would always be a type of person in the world who could become the most dazzling form of existence no matter where they were.

Chu Liuyue was exactly such a person.

Even though this place was very dangerous, they still followed her forward unwittingly.

…

The few of them followed the stream of water and gradually walked deeper into the forest.

The deeper they went, the larger the water stream became. The magnificent rainbow glow within also became even more intense.

Gradually, the color of the stream also changed.

Chu Liuyue walked while looking at the stream of water, and she thought to herself.

The richer the strength contained within the stream of water, the more curious she was about what was on the upper region of the stream.

And on the entire way, the surroundings were very calm.

Upon closer hearing, they could only hear the leaves rustling, the cracking sound of the few of them walking through the forest, and the flowing sound of the stream of water. Other than this, there were no other movements.

“Didn’t Lieutenant Mu previously say that there are a lot of high-level fiends here? We’ve been in here for so long, but we haven’t even seen one.” The fear in Ye Ranran’s heart had gradually dissipated, and she couldn’t help but question curiously. “We haven’t even seen the shadow of a low-level fiend, not to mention high-level fiends.”

Actually, Chu Liuyue felt strange about the same thing as well.

When she previously came to the Mystic Forest, there were indeed all sorts of fiends lurking around. Even during the evening and nighttime—when the mist would spread—they could often hear rustling sounds.

That was the sound of the fiends moving.

However, this place was indeed too quiet today. Even if it were really because of the suppression from the ninth-grade fiend that caused the crowd of fiends to hide respectively, it didn’t seem likely that they would be in such a state.

To put it more bluntly, it was… dead silence. This place had no form of liveliness at all—other than that stream of water.

But there was nothing else within that stream of water, other than the increasingly intense rainbow color.

“Perhaps there will be some after we walk a little more,” said Chu Liuyue.

When an ordinary high-level fiend broke through, it would indeed emanate an immense suppression that would cause the surrounding low-level fiends to feel a fatal threat. Due to this, they would avoid the area.

However, it was different when a ninth-grade fiend tried to break through and become a legendary fiend. Even though the suppression was terrifying, the bloodline of a legendary fiend had a natural attraction toward the other fiends.

The concept of varying standards that was etched into their bones would lead them to respect and admire the legendary fiend. This would cause them to continue going forward to pay their respects to the legendary fiend, even if they had to endure that terrifying suppression.

Now that the ninth-grade fiend caused such a huge commotion, there should logically be quite a few fiends around.

Ye Ranran nodded seriously.

…

After another period of time, Chu Liuyue felt that the surrounding air became stickier. Every step she took forward used up even more energy than before.

It was as if a very heavy mountain was suppressing them, causing them to be unable to breathe.

Chu Liuyue frowned. This should be caused by that ninth-grade fiend’s suppression!

After walking a distance in such an effortful manner, Chu Liuyue’s back was drenched in sweat. She took a deep breath in and finally stopped. “Let’s rest for a while.”

It was as if Mu Hongyu and Ye Ranran had met their lifesaver as they hurriedly found a place to sit down and rest.

Chu Liuyue sat down cross-legged at the side.

Qiang Wanzhou stood beside her with his back straight.

Chu Liuyue waved toward him. “Little Zhou, sit down and rest too.”

From this angle, she could coincidentally see his lips that were slightly pale. It was obvious that this journey wasn’t easy for him either.

Qiang Wanzhou’s voice was as cold as usual. “I can just stand.”

Just in case they met with any danger, it would be more convenient to move if they were standing instead of sitting down. He did this as well when he followed that person back then.

Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. She naturally knew what Qiang Wanzhou was thinking. “Little Zhou, you don’t have to worry too much. This area should already be within that ninth-grade fiend’s territory. Other than itself, anyone else who comes here would be like us. It won’t be too dangerous now. Besides, you should rest.”

However, Qiang Wanzhou was very stubborn. He shook his head and pressed his thin lips against each other tightly. His forehead was filled with beads of sweat as they followed his very intricate appearance and neck and trickled down, finally landing inside his gray clothes.

It was obvious that he wasn’t having a good time now.

Chu Liuyue sighed lightly and said, “Little Zhou, the one-month agreement is already up. You’re no longer my servant, so you don’t have to do this.”

But Qiang Wanzhou suddenly shook his body and looked at her as anxiety flashed across his eyes. “You don’t want me anymore?”

W-where did all of this come from? Chu Liuyue was dazed. “No, don’t misunderstand. I just feel that since our agreement has already ended, you don’t have to see yourself as my servant. Besides, you’re also my junior brother now, right?”

When Chu Liuyue said this, her lips curved up slightly, and her eyes seemed to be dazzling.

Qiang Wanzhou heaved a sigh of relief. “No need.”

Then, as if he was afraid that Chu Liuyue would misunderstand, he said again, “I think this is quite good.”

He was already used to such days and did not want to change.

Seeing his stubbornness, Chu Liuyue knew that there was no use convincing him otherwise. Thus, she decisively gave up.

Anyway, this child always has some strange persistence… It’s not bad if he becomes my junior brother and follows me like this. Chu Liuyue was thinking of this when a piercing sound was heard beside her ear.

A harsh, cold air came toward her neck.

Her heart was suddenly alarmed! Danger!
