Chapter 1676 Daughter of the Beast Taming City Lord

"No...!" the little girl cried out in alarm, instinctively unleashing her first-level divine cultivation to narrowly avoid the strong wind. Grabbing the other person's arm, her body twisted in a bizarre posture, she finally managed to stand back on the ground above the cave.

But he slipped and fell down.

Seeing that she was about to fall into the snake pit, she hurriedly used her divine power to try to pull her companion down with her.

"Liu Yueqi! What are you doing!" The others seemed to have figured out Liu Yueqi's intentions and immediately scolded him.

"do not want!"

The boy who was grabbed was pale-faced and had no power to resist. He was directly dragged into the snake pit.

Liu Yueqi then used the opportunity to kick the boy's body and fly out of the snake pit.

"Such a young age, yet so vicious." The clone, unable to bear seeing the boy perish in the snake's belly, stretched out vines to wrap around him and pull him up.

"I'm vicious? Didn't you strike first? I haven't even settled the score with you yet!" Liu Yueqi, who had survived the ordeal, was furious when he heard his clone's mocking words.

"We were all standing there perfectly fine, and you suddenly attacked and forced me to the ground! What did I do wrong by trying to protect myself?"

"If you hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have fallen. If I hadn't fallen, I wouldn't have dragged him down with me! So, ultimately, it's all your fault!"

Liu Yueqi's explanation completely absolved him of any responsibility.

It's absolutely astonishing.

"Liu Yueqi, that's enough! We've put up with you for too long!" The others were relatively normal.

I know I can't keep tolerating this anymore.

"There were ten of us when we came, but now there are only five left. Xiaoyue's fate is unknown, but I'm afraid she's probably dead!"

"If you hadn't insisted on visiting this snake pit, we wouldn't have encountered so many dangers! And so many of our companions wouldn't have died here!"

"What do you mean? Why is it all my fault?" Liu Yueqi was indignant at his companions' accusations. "When you went to gather herbs, didn't I go with you? Why can't you accompany me to visit the snake cave?"

"Gathering herbs is only at the foot of the mountain and there is no danger, but this snake den is almost at the top of the mountain!"

"Yes, it was my oversight, but is this solely my fault? Xiaoyue fell into the snake pit. If you had rescued her sooner, she might still be alive now," Liu Yueqi said in a chilling tone.

"But now that so much time has passed, Xiaoyue's body has probably been completely devoured by those venomous snakes down there!"

As he said this, a strange light flickered in Liu Yueqi's eyes.

The clone clearly sensed that this matter was not simple.

"Xiaoyue was your best friend, how come you don't seem sad at all about her death?" A companion also noticed that Liu Yueqi's behavior was not quite right.

"You didn't kill her, did you?"

Were you just crocodile tears, feigning compassion?

The barrage of questions left Liu Yueqi blushing: "You guys really know how to smear people!"

"If I wanted to harm her, why would I have dragged you all into saving her?"

Just as the group was speechless, the clone said, "But did you save them? All you do is talk the talk."

"You!" Liu Yueqi absolutely hated this woman who had suddenly appeared!

What does it have to do with her? Do they even know each other?

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have almost died the same way as Xiaoyue!

"What? Did I say something wrong?" The clone deliberately provoked Liu Yueqi.

"There is actually another way to prove whether you harmed Xiaoyue."

"What method?" The others were all eager to know.

Only Liu Yueqi stared cautiously at the clone. His eyes held a warning tone, as if he didn't want her to continue speaking.

"Why don't we rescue Xiaoyue and ask her?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

This method is indeed good, and it's the simplest and most direct one. But... it's simply too difficult to implement! The snake pit is dangerous; even a high-level god-level expert wouldn't be able to penetrate deep into it and escape unscathed!

They simply couldn't bring themselves to trade their own lives for another person's.

Even then, it's not guaranteed that the other person can be rescued.

Liu Yueqi even mocked, "You make it sound so easy. If you love meddling in other people's business so much, why don't you go down and save her yourself?"

"With your abilities, you should be able to rescue them, right?"

Liu Yueqi's words were just sarcastic remarks; she was certain that the clone couldn't save Xiaoyue.

However, the very next second after she finished speaking...

The clone jumped directly into the snake pit.

"Ah!" This scene terrified everyone.

"Has she... gone mad?"

"She actually jumped?!"

Does he really have that ability, or is he deliberately courting death?

Inside the snake pit, where snakes had originally crawled everywhere in dense swarms, they automatically parted to make way after I split off.

The snake pit wasn't deep; after walking for a short while, the clone spotted a girl lying in an inconspicuous corner, her body covered in bite marks. The girl had a youthful face, even younger than the boys and girls above.

Fortunately, he was still alive.

The clone gave the pill to the girl named Xiaoyue.

He then picked her up in his arms and flew up from the snake pit. The snake pit was very deep and instilled a strange sense of fear.

Liu Yueqi and the others didn't dare to peek out.

Therefore, they were extremely shocked when the clone flew up with Xiaoyue.

"Xiao...Xiao Yue!"

"She's still alive!" Someone saw Xiaoyue's finger move.

"Hmm, still alive." The clone laid her flat on the ground and looked at the panicked Liu Yueqi with an amused expression.

Liu Yueqi rushed forward, "Xiaoyue! Thank goodness, Xiaoyue, you're alive! Do you know how worried I was about you!"

As she spoke, she lunged forward to hug Xiaoyue.

Unexpectedly, his right hand was gripped tightly and raised.

"Kill her to silence her?" The clone smiled at Liu Yueqi, then looked at the dagger in her hand.

Seeing this, the others immediately understood, "Liu Yueqi, it really is you who wants to harm Xiaoyue!"

"Was it your doing that she fell into the snake pit? Now that she's still alive, you want to harm her even more!"

"How could you be so heartless? Isn't she your best friend?!"

Faced with his companions' questioning, Liu Yueqi suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha... Yes! I pushed her down! So many poisonous snakes, any one of them could have killed her! But why is she still alive?"

"Why! Why are you still alive!" Towards the end, Liu Yueqi's voice became hysterical.

Xiaoyue opened her eyes in pain. Her life had been saved, but the snake venom had not been completely cleared. Her whole body ached as if it were about to fall apart.

In particular, the many bite marks on its body gradually rotted and oozed pus.

She heard everyone's conversation.

"Xiaoqi... Liu Yueqi, I believe I have treated you well, why would you do this to me?"

"Why? There's no why! I'm just going to kill you!"
