The next thing their eyes saw was the man who had been climbing up the stairs had suddenly fallen down, a pool of blood was spreading out under his body. It was seen that his head had gone missing, bright red blood spurting copiously out through the garish wound, having died a horrible death.
Everyone’s face immediately turned pale.
“What….. What was that?”
“Was it….. a bird?”
“It seemed like it was so small and tiny! But it was actually able to swallow up a man’s head in a mere instant…..”
Many voices immediately broke out in furious debate, and the shade of Zhuge Xiong’s face could not look any uglier. The man who died had been his subordinate afterall.
It had all seemed to be going very well and no one had expected that things would take such a sudden turn. Qing Tian Lin had also furrowed up his brows as he looked at the headless corpse on the ground, the look on his face grim.
Just what could have gone wrong?
It had all….. been going so well, what made that strange thing appear all of a sudden out of nowhere?
With another person dead, it made everyone become more restless and antsy. Even if some had been feeling bold enough to step up to give it a try before, after suddenly seeing such a brutal beast appear, all of them had immediately pushed any ideas they had out from their minds.
They truly wanted to go up there, as who wouldn’t want to gain more resources that would enable them to take a great leap forward towards greater power? But before that, they must first ensure that they are still alive to enjoy it!
“Young Lord, why not let me go give it a try?”
The sweet and petite little young girl said as she looked up at him, the look on her face looking rather innocent and naive.
“Little Yan, don’t start. Didn’t you see that two grown men have lost their lives? You might possibly stand a slight chance if it was you at night, the daytime you does not possess enough fighting ability.” The tall thin man said teasingly.
Hearing that, the young girl called Little Yan immediately knitted up her brows in a huff, glaring at the man as she said: “Are you looking down on me?”
“I am not! I am merely just stating the facts. A little girl like you should not come try to mess things up any further.”
Little Yan was so infuriated she ignored him completely and ran a few short steps over to Qing Ye Li to say: “Young Lord, let me go give it a try! I will be very careful.”
Qing Ye Li lowered his eyes and cast his indifferent gaze onto her before he opened his mouth to say: “I will not let my people go risk themselves like that. Don’t worry, there will be more people who will not be able to hold themselves back very soon.”

“How are you doing staying in here?”
A cold voice tinged with a slight raspiness suddenly sounded. Qing Lan Fei was taken aback a moment, and she then raised her head.
