âPerhaps they think that weâre aborigines of this world. Look, we are uncivilized, poor, and donât even
wear clothes,â Pigsy said with a snort.
âLetâs go!â
Those four people were long gone by now. Alex and the others descended from the hilltop and rushed
in the direction of that cave.
It was then that Alex glanced at the tridimensional map scattered by the bone patterns in his sea of
consciousness, only to discover something was wrong.
Three energy points represented the people that had rapidly flown far away, whereas the other point
was hidden nearby. Furthermore, it was yellow.
âSomethingâs wrong!
âOne guy didnât leave! Run!â
After discovering the anomaly, Alex instantly realized how dangerous the situation was. He instantly
pulled Shirley and Pigsy before teleporting to another location.
Whoosh! Whoosh, Whoosh!
Like bolts of lightning, they instantly reached another position.
âHuh?â
A voice suddenly rang in several peopleâs ears.
That person was really hiding in the dark, waiting for Alex and the others to appear. It was a woman.
She had discovered Alex and the others hiding at the mountain peak earlier but she clearly wanted all
the profits to herself and was unwilling to share the bone patterns on Alex and the others with her
allies. Thus, she found an excuse not to travel with them and ran back after going in the other direction.
âThey actually know Instant Teleportation?â
âHave I caught a big fish?â
As fast as lightning, the woman turned into a red shadow streak and swished through the forest before
blocking Alex and the others.
âWhere did you come from?â
âYou donât even wear clothes. Could you be a native of this place?â
The woman spoke. Wearing a silver helmet on her head, her eye sockets were pitch-black and her
expressions were invisible. Meanwhile, a decent looking red battle robe with a leaf mark adorned her
chest and skeleton patterns had been put on her.
It was no wonder Shirley would take a fancy to her battle robe. Compared to her current bare skeleton,
she would look a whole lot prettier in that. It was simply the difference between a primitive tribal nanny
and a glorious imperial princess.
However, Alex and the rest couldnât understand what she said.
She then spoke a few words in different languages, but the result was the same.
Alex also tried saying something. Unfortunately, they failed to understand each other. And so, they
failed to communicate.
The woman nodded as she looked at Shirleyâs chest. Clearly, she had her eye on her golden bone
patterns. Then, she launched an attack.
The target of her attack was not Shirley, but it was⦠Pigsy!
âOink!â
Pigsy did not expect that to be the first to be targeted. It immediately turned into a lightning streak and
fled behind Alex.
It was aware of its limitations. It would only dig its own grave if it were to retaliate against a cultivator
with red bone patterns. So, it could only rely on its speed for a chance of survival.
Simultaneously, Alex instantly unleashed the attack that he had accumulated for a long while.
Bong!
He activated the Requiem Clock to deal with the womanâs soul.
However, little did he expect that the silver hehnet on that womanâs head would dazzle with radiance,
forming a protective sphere. It protected her head by forming something like a force field, blocking all
the effects of the Requiem Clock.
âD*mn! What the heck is with this helmet? How is it so strong?â
