Chapter 21: What's your relationship with him?

  "You're overpraising me, I'm not even half as good as you!" I teased him with a sideways glance, and sure enough, his smile faltered for a moment. I smiled smugly to myself and continued climbing up, but the process was made more difficult by the numerous rotting corpses that littered my path. Just when I finally managed to climb onto the beam, I looked up to see several iron chains hanging down from above, their surfaces already rusting away. Looking around, I saw Qing Ning and Xian Xian had climbed to an even higher spot, and right at the very top, suspended in mid-air, was a coffin! It seemed that those two were aiming for that coffin all along.

  I pulled an iron chain, climbing up while paying attention to their movements. It seems that Qingning's speed is much faster than Xianxian's. At this moment, he has already climbed to the coffin and I don't know what he is doing there. I only see Xianxian frowning anxiously, climbing even faster. It seems that there might be something very important hidden inside?

  As I thought, I also quickened my pace, but unexpectedly, the green lemon suddenly fell down. I was startled and took a closer look, only to find that his hand was still holding onto a rope! He secretly let out a sigh of relief and then descended to the same height as me. With a serious expression, he said to me: "Hurry up and go down."

  He had just finished speaking when Xian also jumped down and angrily asked: "What did you do up there!?"

  Qing didn't respond, but I heard a grinding sound, and then suddenly something crimson fell from above, heading in Qing's direction. However, all I saw was Qing jumping up and grabbing another iron chain. It wasn't until now that I clearly saw what had fallen, and my breathing almost stopped. What I'm seeing is also a flayed creature, but unlike the previous one, this one has not only its facial skin peeled off, but almost all of its body skin is gone!

  Shocking! Frightening! Disgusting! Is this really the legendary blood corpse?!

  As I saw the bloody corpse rushing towards me, I was so scared that I dodged and accidentally fell straight down. Since there was no foothold in mid-air, I felt like I had bumped into someone, and that person shouted out in pain. It turned out to be Xianxian's voice. He cursed under his breath, then kicked me and said, "Let go of me!"

  He kicked me and I suddenly came back to my senses, only to find that I was hugging Xianxian's thigh at this moment!

  Although I don't know when I found the opportunity to hold him, now if I listen to his words and let go, it would be really stupid. So I shook my head repeatedly and replied: "No release, even if I die!" Joke, if this body of mine falls down, wouldn't it become a cripple! I'm not that foolish, so I held on even tighter, in case I accidentally slipped off.

  "Damn it!" Xian cursed at me and stretched out one hand, saying: "Hold on tight, I'll pull you up."

  I saw that Xianxian's pants were almost falling down, and I didn't dare to hug his thigh anymore. So I held his hand, originally thinking of stepping on him to climb up, but unexpectedly he pulled me up with one hand. I couldn't help but wonder, are people who do manual labor all very strong? Qingning is the same, this Xianxian is too, looking thin and weak, but unexpectedly having great strength, just like an ox, how can there be such a big difference between men?

  As I grabbed a vine to steady myself, I said a "thank you" to Xianxian, but he just gave me a sideways glance and didn't say anything. I didn't want to bother him with more chatter either, because the surroundings started getting noisy again, and that blood corpse had somehow jumped onto someone's body. The person was screaming while slapping at the blood corpse on their body, but it wasn't a benevolent creature - in one bite, it killed that person...

  I couldn't bear to look anymore, so I turned my head away. Just then, Qing Ning had already come to my side. In his hand was a fairly long rope that he had somehow found somewhere. One end of the rope was tied to the beam, and the other end was handed to me.

  I took the rope and Qing Ning said, "Go to the place where people come and go, I'll find you in a while." After finishing speaking, he drew out the knife from his waist, seemingly preparing to jump towards the bloody corpse.

  "Wait!" I hastily called out to him, he turned his head and looked at me. I hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything. After a while, seeing that I still wasn't speaking, he simply asked: "What's up?"

  I looked at Song Ah and others who were entangled with the vines, and said to Qing Ning with some difficulty: "Can you also save them?" I almost gritted my teeth as I spoke, although I knew they might not be good people, but watching them die before my eyes was really unbearable.

  "Good." He glanced at me and agreed without hesitation, then swung up like a swing, and every time he approached someone, he cut off the vines that bound those people with his knife. Although his movements were still smooth and flowing, I felt that his movements were somewhat slower than before. When I landed on the ground, those people also fell down one by one, and when they looked up, Qing Ning had already started fighting with the blood corpse.

  At this time, Xianxian ran to my side, nudged me with her arm and curiously asked: "What's your relationship with that Qingning?"

  I looked at him and said with a smile: "What's wrong with being friends? Do you have any opinions?"

  He looked at me with some suspicion and said, "Friend? With his strange temper, he can actually make friends, it's really amazing. I don't see anything special about you either!" As he spoke, he even started to scrutinize me boldly.

  "There's nothing special about me, I just don't know why you still want to find someone to impersonate my dad and deceive me." I gave him a cold look, I haven't forgotten this matter yet!

  He unexpectedly clicked his tongue twice and said, "I knew I couldn't deceive you, those people still don't believe it." After finishing speaking, he even smiled, that smile was really radiant to the extreme, but I felt annoyed and impatiently asked, "Who are those people?"

  Xian Xian looked at me like I was an idiot, then snorted and said: "Why should I tell you?"

  As expected, he deserved a beating! I glared at him and didn't bother to reason with him anymore. So I looked up, and at this time, I saw that there was only one person above, the blood corpse had disappeared, Qing Ning was vigilantly looking around, waited for a while, still didn't see the shadow of the blood corpse, so he jumped down.

  "Feng Zi, I think we should leave here quickly, it looks like something is wrong." Song Ah walked to my side and said with a worried face.

  "Leave?" I looked at him in surprise and asked, "How can we leave? Aren't we going to find Su Dai anymore?" Actually, I was intentionally asking this question. On the one hand, I wanted to see how Song Ah would react. On the other hand, I also wanted to know if they were really in cahoots with each other...
