Chapter 47: Promotion Ceremony and Split
Outside the Ghost Claw Forest in the central area of the Flying Snake Swamp, at the top of the trunk of a dead Bone Claw Tree, Cui Ji was picking up more than a dozen strung Flying Snake trophies from the branches of the trunk.
This is what she just snatched from an unlucky guy.
Crushed by her sheer strength and Lindsay's pervasive scouting, the poor creature couldn't even make a decent struggle.
Not even the word "abstention" could be uttered.
Her corpse had been corroded into a puddle of green liquid by Trigil's poison gun, and the only thing left was the Flying Serpent loot that could not be taken away.
Just as Trigi wondered if she should find more unlucky people to try her gun, Lindsay, who had been scouting in the canopy above, suddenly sent her an unexpected message.
"Master Choiji, the two sisters are separated!"
"What? Separated? Why? ”
"Uh... They had just met with fierce resistance when they attacked a snatcher, and one of the sisters seemed to be injured? ”
"Hurt? Is it my sister or sister who is hurt? ”
"It's... I can't tell ......."
"Idiot!" Triggie snorted angrily, stepped a little, and quickly hurried in the direction that Lindsay was pointing.
Behind her, the corners of Lindsay's eyes, who had been scolded inexplicably, twitched violently, but quickly pretended not to hear anything, and followed Triggie to the sisters' location.
The reason why Trigi is in such a hurry is because she has been tasked with not letting either of the sisters pass the second challenge.
Now that one of the sisters is injured, and the injured one is separated from the other, it means that one of the sisters may have enough loot in her hands that she could pass the challenge at any time!
And there is another question in this, that is, is it the sister or the younger sister who is injured?
Among the two sisters, the one she feared the most was not her sister Funia, who shined in the first challenge, but her sister Annie, who had always been inconspicuous.
The hidden power is the most terrifying power.
If it is the younger sister who is injured, then in order to complete the queen's task, she and Lindsay must go together to hunt down and kill her sister Anne, which is something that cannot be delayed for a moment, otherwise once either of the sisters is allowed to pass, she will not be able to explain to Queen Fina.
And if it is her sister who is injured, then it is better to say a little bit, in her eyes, although her sister Funia is also very strong, but she does not seem to be very mature in terms of mind, so she may not be willing to leave her sister and run away, in that case, they will have the possibility of coercing her sister to force her sister to comply.
However, there is a question that makes Cui Ji hesitate, that is, why did the sisters get hurt?
And it hurts so badly?
Who else of all the remaining participants in this swamp can make it this far?
Or is the injury fake?
But why would they do it?
Is it to attract them to be fooled?
But with such a big gap between them and the two of them, how could they find themselves two?
Cui Ji thought about it as he hurried, but he couldn't figure out the joints in it anyway.
They soon came to the location of the injured one of the sisters, and sure enough, Trigi noticed a man lying on a branch of the Devilclaw Tree not far ahead.
This man was one of the two objectives of their mission.
I saw the girl lying on the trunk of a tree, her right hand covering her abdomen, and large strands of blood gushing out from between her fingers.
Her face was pale and bloodless, but her pursed lips and a determined expression on her face made her look less effeminate than she looked.
Mercenaries, like professionals, are hardly injured enough to kill them, no matter how serious they are.
The girl was lying on the trunk of a tree with her eyes closed, and since potions were not allowed in the second challenge, she had to rest to allow the wound to heal naturally.
"Is this my sister or my sister......" Cui Ji asked again with a frown.
This is an important question that determines the actions they are about to take.
"I... I can't be sure......" Lindsay frowned and shook her head.
The twins look so similar that even their relatives find it difficult to distinguish them from each other based on their appearance.
"Then let's test it." Triggie squinted and nodded, pulled out a spear from behind his back, and threw it at the girl on the trunk with a fierce force.
The spear quickly turned a pale dark green in mid-air, and soon left a trail of poisonous green mist in its path.
Poison guns!
The girl on the trunk opened her eyes, jumped upwards with some difficulty, and climbed a branch above her left hand and tossed upwards to avoid this dangerous attack.
Then, she drew the longbow from her back and pulled the bowstring away, sending a little cold air from the tip of the arrow.
"It's my sister!"
"Hell! Let's go after another! ”
"So what about this?"
Lindsey asked.
At this moment, the girl on the trunk suddenly snorted, and the cold air on the arrow immediately weakened.
"No problem, she's so badly injured that she won't be able to run for a while."
"Not necessarily, you just made a move on her, she must already know that there are enemies around by now, if we don't kill her first, she will definitely run!"
"Kill her? No, she still has some combat power, and we don't have time! ”
Cui Ji pondered for a while, and then suddenly gritted his teeth and said to Linse: "You stay here and watch her, I'll go find another one, you show me the way, she shouldn't run far!" ”
"Good!" Lindsay nodded, then glanced around, and reached out to point to the north.
"In this direction!"
Without saying a word, Triggie rushed out with a javelin in his hand, and quickly chased after Anne, who was fleeing.
Lindsey stayed where she was, pulling her bowstring all over and harassing the other girl on the trunk of the tree, trying to keep her from having a chance to recover.
By the time Lindsey fired her sixth harassing arrow at "Funia", Triggie was already very far away from her.
At this moment, the girl who had been dodging her shot in "embarrassment" suddenly pulled out the longbow on her back again, and then with a very sharp movement, she gently unveiled the sixth arrow fired by Linse.
Her pale face regained its bloody color, and her right hand moved away from her lower abdomen, throwing out a mass of minced snake flesh that had been crumpled into a pulp.
Lindsey was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed suddenly.
It's a trap!
And, when she saw the girl on the trunk of the tree bending her bow and arrows, and the tips of the arrows were blazing, her face was even more bloody.
Because she's realized that it's not just a trap, it's a trap for her!
Unfortunately, it was too late to realize it.
On the trunk of the tree, Anne, who was standing straight, had already drawn the longbow in her hand into a full moon, and the arrow on the string had completely turned into a blazing golden fire arrow!
