Chapter 395 - Chapter 395 Chapter 391 Black Robe

Chapter 395: Chapter 391 Black Robe Chapter 395: Chapter 391 Black Robe Liu Yishou looked suspiciously at Fang Xiaocao, staring at her for a few seconds before turning his head back to continue eating the food in his hand.

“Phew…”

Fang Xiaocao let out a breath.

She turned and hid behind a pickup truck.

“What just happened?”

“Why did Liu Yishou’s pupils become so terrifying, was it just my imagination?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

“Princess Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Taotie, who had been following Fang Xiaocao, saw her strange behavior and asked in confusion.

Fang Xiaocao looked up at Taotie, “Did you notice anything about Liu Yishou’s pupils just now?”

Taotie shook his head, “No.”

“My father-in-law just bit at my shoelace, and I was scolding him.”

“What happened to Liu Yishou’s pupils?”

Hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao subconsciously looked at Jiang Ziyao squatting at Taotie’s feet.

Jiang Ziyao had an odd hobby, actually enjoying the smell of Taotie’s stinky feet.

“Princess Your Highness?”

Seeing that Fang Xiaocao didn’t answer him but instead stared blankly at her father-in-law, Taotie called out softly to her.

Fang Xiaocao snapped back to reality, shook her head, “Why, it might have been my imagination.”

Taotie looked at Fang Xiaocao with confusion, feeling that the Princess today was acting oddly and somewhat neurotic.

Seeing Taotie staring at her, Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes at him, “Hurry up and pack our things, we need to leave this place quickly.”

Taotie nodded and responded, “Oh.”

After watching Taotie lead Jiang Ziyao away, Fang Xiaocao reached into her pocket and gripped the Blood Jade Ring, “Was it really just my imagination?”

“Those pupils looked so real.”

“Like staring into the eyes of an old mountain goat.”

Recalling the moment she saw the pupils in Liu Yishou’s eyes, Fang Xiaocao felt chills.

Too real.

So real it made Fang Xiaocao fearful.

Now, Fang Xiaocao was full of doubts.

She couldn’t discern if it was an illusion.

She was a master of hypnosis, her spiritual power far exceeding that of ordinary people, and she possessed both the Blood Jade Ring and the Phoenix Gall for protection. She shouldn’t experience illusions or hallucinations from a mental standpoint.

“Unless, unless there was someone with strong spiritual power hiding in the dark, attacking me with their spiritual power…”

At that moment, a name came into Fang Xiaocao’s mind.

Yang Xiao!

The strange woman at Hot Noodles, possibly related to the event where Jiang Ziyao and the others turned into the Wild Man.

“Could it be you?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“Whether it is or not, I’m going to expose you and see exactly what kind of monster you are.”

Fang Xiaocao said with a cold laugh.

After taking a few deep breaths and feeling her restless mood calm down, Fang Xiaocao hung the Phoenix Gall around her neck to protect herself with it close to her body, then put the Blood Jade Ring back into her pocket.

She walked out from behind the pickup truck, saw that Taotie had nearly finished packing the tent and supplies, and casually walked up, taking the hand of the bewildered Wen Shi who stood there cluelessly.

“Wen Shi, come with me.”

Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.

Wen Shi dazedly turned his head to look at Fang Xiaocao, nodded dumbly, and compliantly let Fang Xiaocao lead him by the hand towards a nearby pickup truck.

“Taotie, after you finish packing, take Jiang Ziyao to drive the car in front, let Brainless follow you. I’ll have Thousand Faces drive this car with Unhappy, while Liu Yishou drives another car to lead the way.”

Currently, Liu Yishou was too uncanny, and Fang Xiaocao didn’t want his own people to have too much individual contact with him, to avoid any accidents.

Taotie naturally understood Fang Xiaocao’s intentions, and readily agreed, loading all the extra tents and other items that originally belonged to Thousand Faces and his camp into Liu Yishou’s car.

Food and water, crucial for survival, were all loaded into Fang Xiaocao’s car.

Seeing all this, Fang Xiaocao pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.

“What a simpleton Taotie is, could his exclusion be any more obvious?”

Fang Xiaocao felt an inability to voice his complaints.

The convoy slowly set off.

Liu Yishou, however, didn’t show any weird behavior.

He drove steadily at the front of the convoy, neither fast nor slow.

Yet Fang Xiaocao constantly felt an ominous premonition swirling around in his mind.

Not long after the convoy left, on top of a nearby dune about a meter tall, a large hand covered in scaly keratin skin suddenly emerged.

The next second?

A large, hairless humanoid creature covered in scaly keratin crawled out from the dune.

The reason it was called a humanoid was because its entire skin had mutated into a fish-scale pattern and its face was completely unrecognizable.

From afar, it resembled the legendary Lizardmen, extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The humanoid creature watched the departing convoy and grinned, spitting out sandy mucus from between its teeth.

It bent down and rummaged in the sand for a while, eventually pulling out a metal whistle and putting it to its lips.

Toot toot toot–

As the whistle blew, several Lizardmen burrowed out of the sand, at least a dozen in total.

Two people enveloped in black robes appeared from behind a dune.

“Yang Xiao, take Tian Hexuan and follow them. The Blood Jade Ring and the Phoenix Gall are inheritance treasures of Tianzhu Mountain and must not fall into the hands of outsiders.”

A raspy voice came from under one of the black robes, its tone very aged, like that of an elderly person.

“Yes!”

From under the other robe came a clear, melodious female voice,

It was precisely Yang Xiao, the person Fang Xiaocao was constantly thinking about.

Yang Xiao patted the Lizardman who had just blown the whistle and leapt onto its back: “Tian, move out!”

Before her words had ended, the Lizardman named Tian dashed out with a “whoosh”, its speed extremely fast, its running speed comparable to that of a sprinter, even while carrying a person.

“Xuan, keep up.”

The elderly Black-robed Person ordered another slightly shorter Lizardman by his side.

Xuan nodded and quickly caught up.

The Black-robed Person then casually strolled through the sandy grounds with the remaining Lizardmen.

It seemed that with Yang Xiao following them, even if Fang Xiaocao and her group were driving, they couldn’t escape from his grasp.

Five hours later!

Fang Xiaocao’s convoy slowly stopped.

It was now midday, when the sun was at its hottest and most harmful. Although Fang Xiaocao wanted to quickly find the Gold Bricks to end this eerie desert journey, for safety’s sake, she also had to resume the schedule of resting at noon and traveling at night.

Fang Xiaocao got out of the car and looked around.

After confirming that the feeling of being watched had not reappeared, she started to set up camp.

Half an hour later!

The tents were erected, forming a campsite with its center hosting a smokeless stove stewing dried meat soup. Fang Xiaocao and her companions were eating compressed biscuits, sipping on the soup, casually chatting here and there, but they hadn’t noticed that outside the camp two small dunes about a meter tall had suddenly appeared…
