Monument of Life and Death

  ***

  After the worm mark appeared, the feeling that rushed into Xia Ni's heart first was not joy, but despair.

  The snake is the symbol of the head of the four summers.

  My own insect print appeared, which means that my sister has...

   But how is it possible?

  Xia Ni felt that he couldn't go on like this anymore, he leaned on the wall, climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and stood up straight.

  If that power can defeat my sister so easily, then I... will only be even more incompetent.

   Then, what about the whole four summers?

   Then, what about the entire Nine Sects?

  Xia Ni looked down at the insect print on her hand, and pursed her lips.

  This worm mark is more than just a worm mark.

  Xia Ni realized for the first time the responsibility that has been oppressing her sister.

  It’s so heavy.

   Almost out of breath.

  My sister has always carried this feeling and lived with a smile?

  Xia Ni's legs began to weaken, and he almost sat down on the ground again, but he gritted his teeth and stood firm.

  From now on, I can no longer be the former Xia Ni.

   Something left Xia Ni's body, and something appeared again.

  Xia Ni gently lowered her rolled-up sleeves, using the cuffs to cover the insect prints on the back of her hands.

  He knelt down, lifted Aunt Oboro's body, and carried it on his back.

  The weight of the dead body made his footsteps a little weak, Xia Ni stood on the spot to stabilize his body, and carried Aunt Lu's body higher.

   "Aunt Hazy, let's go."

  On the wall in front of him, a dark hole slowly emerged.

  Xia Ni looked at the ominous hole and felt her eyeballs were hot.

  Is this the ability given to him by the little red snake?

   It turns out that this is what it feels like to have supernatural powers.

  Xia Ni took a deep breath, walked towards the depths of the black hole with staggering but firm steps.

  Jasmine's mood was surging violently.

  Countless uncomfortable feelings rushed into my internal organs, and I really wanted to vomit.

  If the pitch-black room with closed perception just now was a trap specially set for Baomu, then this place is simply Jasmine’s own mourning hall.

  It was completely silent here, and Jasmine could only hear her own gasping for breath.

   That sound is like a drowning person finally breathing air.

   Immediately afterwards, it sank again.

   Silence.

  But Jasmine always felt that she heard something.

   let's end... let's end...

  Let it all end in your own hands.

  Jasmine looked at Miaozhen who was lowering her head quietly, and tried to calm down and analyze.

  Why did Miaozhen bring herself to this place?

   Could it be that Miaozhen has become part of the trap, and the power behind Miaozhen used his trust in Miaozhen to lure himself here?

  Jasmine was unwilling to believe this possibility.

  Miaozhen is just a child less than ten years old. Although his strength is unfathomable, according to Jasmine's understanding of Miaozhen, sincerity and purity still dominate Miaozhen's character.

   Miao is really a kind and good boy.

   Miaozhen, who had a short-term consciousness just now, must want to tell herself something.

  Jasmine believed that what appeared just now must be the real Miaozhen.

  Jasmine didn't dare to turn her gaze to look at those familiar faces, she thought for a while, and then retracted her probing gesture.

  I don't want to see it.

  I need to cheer myself up.

  After her vision left, Jasmine felt her other senses become sharp again. After thinking about it, she turned her head and walked towards the direction she came from.

  If you want to investigate the secrets of these corpses, you must first start by examining the corpses. If you guessed correctly, the scent of Lu Xiang you smelled not long ago should represent the Lu family.

  Since I can't do anything to the body of the Nine Tanren, why not start with the Lu family.

  It was about the same as Jasmine's estimation. After walking forward for about a hundred meters, the fragrance of Lu Xiang, which was getting stronger and stronger, floated into his nostrils.

  Jasmine's heartbeat gradually calmed down.

  She walked towards the place closest to her with a strong aroma.

Step by step…

  Stand still.

  Jasmine raised her hands, and the little fingertip of her right hand just touched something cold and stiff.

  Jasmine stretched out her hand, and groped towards that thing.

   Sure enough, it was a person.

  It was a man, strong and tall, and Jasmine's height only reached the man's shoulders. Jasmine squatted down and sniffed, and followed the smell to find the weapon held by the man on the right hand.

   It was a dagger long forearm. Jasmine had just touched the hilt when she heard a clang, and the dagger fell in response. Jasmine dodged backwards so as not to be accidentally injured.

  Jasmine picked up the dagger, and the metal surface exuded a strong fragrance of land. Jasmine took a deep breath, as if feeling the hard fragrance of land turned into wind with a scent, wrapping her body with her breath.

  Jasmine held the dagger in her hand, intending to continue walking forward.

  Suddenly, a creaking sound sounded not far behind Jasmine.

   It's like... the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

  Jasmine reacted quickly, and when she turned around, she shot the spiritual needle. The spiritual needle pierced the air and made a whistling sound, but it didn't hit any object.

  The next second, the abnormal sound rang out from all directions.

  Jasmine stood where she was, not knowing where to look, so she called out Jasmine Tanshi, and opened her eyes to observe.

  Jasmine was dumbfounded.

   Around him, there are dense corpses, and those corpses all moved.

  They were like a group of newly resurrected zombies, struggling to move their limbs. Those abnormal noises came from their stiff joints.

  This picture looks like it came from hell.

  Jasmine formed part of her bodyguard, and she also took up a fighting stance. After thinking about it, she ran forward.

   Miaozhen is still ahead.

  Jasmine passed by countless corpses, all of them looked the same, their faces were dead, but their limbs twisted strangely as if they were controlled by an external force.

  Seeing Miaozhen, Miaozhen was still standing there with her head down, motionless.

  Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief.

  The corpses finally broke free from the shackles of their limbs and began to walk forward.

  Jasmine was still worried that the target of the corpses was her, but at present, it doesn't seem to be the case.

  The corpses walked to the dark depths ahead.

  Jasmine also looked forward.

   In front, what's there?

  Jasmine stepped forward, trying to follow, but a hand suddenly appeared behind her, grabbing Jasmine's wrist from behind.

  Jasmine was stunned and turned her head.

   is your own potential.

  Tanshi Jasmine grabbed Jasmine's wrist, turned it over, and used her own fingers to draw on Jasmine's palm.

  Jasmine stared at Miaozhen.

   Still Miaozhen mean?

  Tanshi Jasmine's movements are trembling, it seems... Miaozhen's control power is indeed getting weaker.

  So this time, Tanshi Jasmine only wrote one word.

   "destroy"
