Chapter 2012: Selection Competition (2)
Shen Yanxiao took a look at the several young undead whose ghting spirits were ignited. She opened her mouth and said lightly, “You can ght, but you can’t lose. If you lose, you have to clean your neck and wait for me to cut it o.”
Their mentor’s words made the members of her Flaming Red Squad laugh.
“Boss, you have no faith in us!”
“We are not the same today as we were yesterday. Watch us properly; in this competition, we will never humiliate you, boss!”
The group of teenagers opened their mouths with laughter and condence.
The undead passing by were somewhat surprised to see these energetic young undead. Such a vigorous group hardly appeared among them. Undead were mostly taciturn and gloomy, so such a joyous atmosphere was a rare occurrence.
“Talk less and act more. If you can’t even pass the prelims, you’re going to die.” Shen Yanxiao spoke with a smile. In the Forest of Death, the members of the Flaming Red Squad had gradually changed their way of getting along with her, which made her miss some of her friends in the Radiance Continent. The attitude of Vicious Wolf and others was probably like this towards Du Lang.
“We will never let Boss down!” The group of teenagers responded with gentle laughter.
Shortly afterwards, the members of the Flaming Red Squad went to their rooms to rest. The selection competition would begin two days later, and this was the time set aside for any nal adjustments.
Shen Yanxiao also went to her room. Before she could sit down, Taotie rushed out of her body. Shen Yanxiao told the members of the Flaming Red Squad that it was not suitable for Taotie to appear in the Hidden Dream City during the competition, so she left him in Deathre Academy; but, in fact, she had summoned Taotie back to her body before they left Deathre Academy.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Taotie who had an anxious appearance. These days, Taotie’s behavior had been somewhat abnormal.
Taotie blinked his big eyes as he looked at Shen Yanxiao then he said eagerly, “Master, I have received a message from Vermillion Bird through our spiritual link.”
Shen Yanxiao’s eyes ashed a trace of surprise. Previously, Taotie said that he could sense Vermillion Bird’s presence. She thought it was just a mistake. But these days, Taotie’s perception of Vermillion Bird seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
“Vermillion Bird said… He and Lord Xiu have come to the Howling Abyss. I told them that we are in Hidden Dream City, they will come soon.” Taotie excitedly said. Shen Yanxiao gaped and her mind was blank. How long had she been in the Howling Abyss? Shen Yanxiao herself might not be able to calculate, because every night during this period she was only thinking about unlocking the layers of the seal as soon as possible, so she could leave the
Howling Abyss and return to the Hidden Dragon Continent.
For this reason, she tried her best to cultivate and train, and improve her death energy in the shortest possible time. She had never thought that Vermillion Bird and Xiu would pursue her all the way here.
Are we really going to see each other soon?
“Master?” Taotie’s voice had a tinge of tension.
Shen Yanxiao quickly returned to her senses. Her cheeks suddenly felt a hint of coolness, she raised her hand in surprise and brushed it against her cheeks. There was a faint glint of water on her ngertips.
“Master, Vermillion Bird and Lord Xiu will come to us soon. Master, don’t worry.” Taotie carefully stretched out his hand and grasped Shen Yanxiao’s clothes. His big, timid eyes were full of worries. His master was crying… Was it because she missed Lord Xiu and Vermillion Bird? Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and wiped away the moist corners of her eyes. She reached out and hugged Taotie in her arms tightly, as if embracing that one lofty soul. Xiu, have you come to pick me up?
