Chapter 273 The Bell Rings
Anilan's needle stimulated not only her heartbeat, but also her nerves.
Lou Xiao felt as if a string in her brain was stretched tight and caused a dull pain, as if the Gu that was hidden somewhere was awakening and gnawing at her brain.
I was angry and restless.
Lou Xiao clenched her fists, frowned, and took several deep breaths but still couldn't adjust her state.
And Anilan was still wondering, "But that's not right, I don't think I've seen this Gu before..."
Logically speaking, she is the future high priestess, and she has been involved in the Gu worms and sacrificial rituals in Qieyue Village.
Every time a Gu is refined in the village, it will be checked personally by the high priest, so it is impossible for her not to have seen it.
Anilan wanted to continue, but she found that Lou Xiao looked strange. She quickly pulled out the needle and pulled Qizhi back quickly.
Sure enough, the sword of the woman in front of him fell heavily on the spot where she had just been. When she stood up, her sleeves fell down, covering the drop of blood on her arm that was stabbed by Anilan.
"What's wrong with her?" Qizi was shocked. He didn't expect the woman in front of him to suddenly jump up. If Anilan hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably have died on the spot.
"Something's wrong..." Anilan held up his chin and carefully checked Lou Xiao's condition from a distance.
She didn't think that the Gu from Qieyue Village could have such power.
Are you kidding? If they really had a poison that could control people's minds, they would have unified Nanzi and dominated the Central Plains long ago!
"She's not going to kill us, is she?" Qizhi nervously grabbed the corner of Anilan's clothes, "Here she comes!"
Lou Xiao's eyes were slightly red and her eyes were dead. Her gaze fell on the Nanzi couple in front of her, with an expressionless face.
Before, she was a living woman who could sabotage and had emotions. Now, she was just like the puppet that Nanzi had been working on but had failed repeatedly.
I just don't know where the controller is.
The more Anilan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He pushed Qizhi aside and confronted Lou Xiao, who suddenly looked murderous, in an attempt to awaken the woman in front of him.
But this time she seemed to be on guard, not allowing Anilan to get close to her, and she used a long sword to defend herself tightly.
If Anilan wasn't careful, he would be stabbed through.
It is very different from the reserved style I played before.
If I'm not careful this time, it won't be just a hit on the waist by the sword.
"She seems to have suddenly become much stronger," Qizhi was anxious, unable to intervene, "What should we do? What if she breaks the cage? How are we going to explain it?"
Anilan was struggling to cope, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Is this the time to worry about the cage? Go and call my master over! I can't stand it any longer!"
Qizhi uttered an "ah" reluctantly. He was the one who brought the people here. If only Anilan knew about it, he could help keep it secret.
If the high priest knew about this, he would certainly not escape punishment.
But now it seems that Anilan can't bear it anymore. In order to prevent Anilan from getting injured, let's punish him!
Qizhi turned around and ran, with several small black shadows on his body appearing in the night sky.
After a while, he came back and said, "The high priest will come here when he sees them. I can't leave you here alone!"
The two skilled men attacked at the same time, which slightly reversed the situation and Anilan was no longer under so much pressure.
The fight between the three became more intense, and the poisonous creatures in the cages inside the room began to crawl around anxiously.
Driven by Lou Xiaochong's murderous intent, Ye Hongyan made an attacking gesture and rammed the iron cage, trying to escape.
Seeing this, Anilan became even more worried. If no one could stop her, would the woman in front of him not stop until she killed all living things in sight?
If she really couldn't stop it, then she would have to kill her - if she could.
Anilan pulled out the hidden weapon she had used at the beginning, but Qizi was fighting her to a standstill, and if she took action, he would inevitably get hurt.
It's really difficult.
Lou Xiao's sword was almost going to slash across Qizhi's cheek and cut off a piece of flesh.
His skin could feel the coolness of her sword, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to fight anymore, so he hurriedly called Anilan,
"No! Anilan, come here!"
The girl had no choice but to put the hidden weapon back under her skirt, took out two daggers and charged forward without saying a word.
Qizhi kept looking out the door, hoping that the high priest would come quickly. He had caused such a great disaster that he brought her here.
Now that he has gone mad, there is no way for me to stop him, not even Anilan!
"What should I do? What should I do? Anilan, you have to hold on!"
The dark-skinned girl no longer wanted to talk. If her master didn't come, she would fight to the death with the woman in front of her.
In the quiet night, in the peaceful village, the battle on the nine-story tower did not disturb the sleep of the people in the village.
Anilan blocked the people in this room and tried to trick Lou Xiao into the cage.
After all, she now looks like a puppet without the ability to think, and there should be no way to identify her.
But Lou Xiao was not fooled. He slashed the cage in sight with a sword and released a black snake as thick as an arm inside.
"No!"
These were all poisonous creatures that Qieyue Village had worked hard to tame, and they did not listen to her.
If all the cages were destroyed and ran away, wasting the efforts of her tribe members, how could she still be the future high priestess!
The black snake coiled and observed them for a while, then suddenly stretched out its neck and swam towards the door.
Anilan left Lou Xiao behind and called out to Qizhi, "Hurry! Don't let it run away!"
But Qizhi's eyes were fixed on the back of her, his pupils dilated and his face full of fear.
"Anilan—"
A sword stabbed straight at the back of her head.
Anilan felt it, but it was too late to hide.
In the blink of an eye, a series of ding-ling sounds were heard, and a hand like a dry bone grasped the tip of the sword that was about to pierce Anilan.
Anilan sat down on the ground, and Qizhi saw the person coming and rushed over to support Anilan.
"Okay, okay, the high priest is here."
"Master——"
The figure that suddenly appeared before him was extremely strange. He was extremely tall and wore a complicated and heavy dress, which was covered with feathers and silver ornaments of various colors.
He wore a mask carved from grass roots on his face, and a hat decorated with a circle of silver bells and colored stones, with pheasant tail feathers inserted in it, trembling slightly in the night.
Only a pair of hands were exposed on his body, one hand was leaning on a tangled and twisted wooden staff, and the other hand was holding the tip of Lou Xiao's shiny sword.
Lou Xiao couldn't pull out or push in, and finally a hint of annoyance appeared on his face.
She simply dropped her sword and grabbed anyone who dared to stop her with her bare hands.
Qizi pulled Anilan away and hid far away. Now that the high priest was there, they just watched from the side.
"Master, she doesn't look right..."
The high priest didn't say a word, but just raised his wooden staff to block Lou Xiao's attack, and rang the silver bell hanging on the wooden staff with one hand.
"Jingle Bell······"
The woman in front of him suddenly stopped moving.
Lou Xiao took a deep breath, as if waking up from a dream. In the blink of an eye, he saw a strangely dressed figure in front of him and almost hit him.
