Chapter 149 Dark Elf 18
"Xuanyuan, what do you suggest we do?" Will asked slowly, his voice tinged with reluctance.
However, he was indeed not as strong as Xuan Yuanwu, so even if he was unhappy, he could only obey the latter's arrangements.
And he had to admit that, in many ways, Xuanyuan Wu was much luckier than ordinary people.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanwu's eyes darkened slightly, as if he was considering his next move. However, before he could make a move, two staggering figures came running from not far away.
Michael exclaimed, "It's Vidor and Ling'an! Where have you been?"
As he spoke, Ling'an and Vido stumbled closer from afar. Ling'an was the first to fall to the ground, gasping for breath, tears streaming down her face.
"Michael...I, I almost..."
“Ling’an, we’re alright now.” Vido suddenly interrupted Ling’an, who looked at her with surprise and uncertainty, opened her mouth, but didn’t dare to say anything more.
She just clutched her clothes tightly, her heart filled with turmoil.
Michael didn't notice anything amiss between the two. He sighed and helped Ling An up. "What exactly happened?"
Ling An looked at Wei Duo, who smiled and said, "We were kidnapped by that ferocious beast. The five clan leaders and the city lord also chased after us. As you know, they are highly skilled. It's fortunate that it was them, otherwise we would not have been able to return."
"Aren't you right, Ling'an?"
As she finished speaking, Ling An forced a smile, which looked extremely unnatural.
Xuan Yuanwu narrowed his eyes. Even if he was stupid, he could sense that something was wrong. But Ling An didn't say anything and instead lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Was he terrified?
Xuanyuan Wu suppressed his doubts and became more vigilant.
“We should be able to get out now,” Will said, pointing to the exit across the street.
There, a shimmering halo of light seemed to beckon the group to hurry over.
Even the careless Michael was a little worried, "Could there be another danger there? We're almost at our breaking point."
They are now relying entirely on normal appetite to maintain their strength, and their spiritual energy has been completely exhausted. If they encounter any more danger, they will truly be doomed.
"Let's go over there first. We don't know if there are any other ferocious beasts here."
Xuanyuan Wu made the final decision, and everyone stood up and strode towards the circle of light.
As they passed by Ver, Xuan Yuanwu suddenly asked in a low voice, "Did you notice? Vido?"
Although Will had already broken ties with Xuan Yuanwu, he was still willing to communicate under these circumstances and immediately nodded.
“Something’s wrong with her.” From the moment Vido returned, Will noticed that something was off about her; she seemed like a different person, yet she was still herself.
Will was the most meticulous member of the team, and Xuan Yuanwu believed that he wouldn't play tricks on him at a time like this.
That means his feeling was right; Vido had a problem!
A flash of ferocity appeared in Xuanyuan Wu's eyes, filled with coldness.
Perhaps he needs to find out what happened after Vido was injured.
The group walked silently into the circle of light, feeling somewhat afraid and nervous.
Once outside the circle of light, they found themselves in an extremely spacious room. A beam of light shone brightly in the center, yet there was nothing beneath it.
"Shouldn't there be something here?" Michael couldn't help but ask, a thought that came to mind instinctively.
The others felt the same way. Will and Xuanyuanwu exchanged a glance, both of them understanding that the item must exist, but they didn't know who had taken it.
There was a few seconds of silence, and everyone became somewhat relaxed, except for Vido.
She took out the food.
"Let's all eat something to replenish our energy," Vido said with a smile, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, her movements natural.
However, Xuanyuan Wu stared warily at the food in her hand.
"Vido, where did you get this food?" Xuan Yuanwu asked slowly. "I remember you shouldn't have anything on you before."
Vido paused for a moment, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "I've had this prepared before, but I haven't had a chance to take it out yet. It's my secret weapon."
The words ended playfully, and in the past, everyone would have agreed, but after they were finished, no one said a word.
Xuanyuan Wu was filled with doubts, as he did not recall that Wei Duo had prepared any food.
But when the others heard there was food, their eyes lit up with longing.
They were all a little hungry.
Michael was about to reach out and take it when Xuan Yuanwu stopped him, "Wait."
Michael asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Xuanyuan, aren't you hungry?"
Xuanyuan Wu shook his head. He wasn't going to probe slowly anymore. He immediately strode towards Wei Duo and asked bluntly, "Wei Duo, what exactly happened after you were injured? Why do you seem like a completely different person?"
These words caught Vido off guard. Her smile faded, and her face darkened, clearly showing her anger. "What do you mean? Do you suspect I have malicious intentions towards you?"
"I don't blame you for not saving me before, but we've been through so much together. I was willing to give my life for you, and now you're doubting me?"
Vido's eyes were filled with disappointment, and she looked so vulnerable it was heartbreaking.
Xuanyuan Wu's heart trembled, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.
Vido was right; she did indeed sacrifice a lot for them.
A tense atmosphere filled the air. Just as the two sides were at an impasse, Ling An suddenly smiled and said, "Xuanyuan, what are you thinking? I spend the most time with Wei Duo, she won't harm us... Why don't you eat my food? I still have some."
As she spoke, she slowly took out all her food, but her hands trembled involuntarily, and her body stiffened.
No one suspected Ling An. She was the most innocent and easy to talk to, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xuan Yuanwu could only temporarily put aside his confrontation with Wei Duo.
Indeed, his physical strength was nearing its limit.
Everyone sat down around and began to eat the food that Ling'an had brought out.
While eating, Xuanyuan Wu still cautiously observed Wei Duo's expression.
Vido turned her head away, looking very aggrieved.
However, not long after they ate, they realized something was wrong.
Michael looked at Ling An in shock, "Ling An, what did you do?!"
Ling'an was too frightened to look up at anyone. She kept her head down, clutching the food she hadn't eaten. She looked at Wei Duo, her voice choked with sobs, "Are you satisfied now? Why did you force me like this? We're friends! We're teammates!"
Only then did everyone realize that Vido was the one who had been hiding the truth the most.
Vido stood up, her aggrieved expression vanishing, replaced by a cold smile.
She slowly approached Ling'an and patted the latter's head. "Good girl, you can't blame me for all of this. You can only blame Xuanyuan for offending the wrong person."
Moreover, Xuanyuan Wu actually coveted that beauty. He was a womanizer and promiscuous, and had attracted many women along the way. In Wei Duo's opinion, Xuanyuan Wu was completely unworthy.
I'm not even qualified to glance at a beautiful woman.
Ling An stared at her stubbornly, not understanding the meaning of her words. She only thought that Xuan Yuanwu's enemy had turned Wei Duo against him, and felt more and more guilty and aggrieved.
She looked at Xuanyuan Wu, "Xuanyuan, I didn't mean it, please forgive me, Weiduo threatened me..."
Michael was shocked by this sudden turn of events. "You, you guys... why did you do this?"
Vido lowered her eyes and did not answer. Instead, she got up, took out a knife, and walked towards Xuan Yuanwu.
The tip of the blade gleamed coldly. Xuan Yuanwu had been watching that side coldly without saying a word. Seeing this, he twitched his fingers slightly and sent out a burst of spiritual energy.
Vido was unable to dodge in time and was knocked to the ground, coughing up blood.
She frowned at Xuan Yuanwu, then suddenly realized, "You didn't eat?"
It turned out that Xuanyuan Wu had been prepared and had not swallowed all the food, but he had eaten a little. At this moment, his body felt weak, as the attack just now had used up all his strength.
