BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
116 - Hunch

"We... Where will you go after this?" Chu Kai opened his voice. He watched the surroundings and only saw the passage stretching far before him, completely invisible to the end.

"Xian Shu passed by here earlier, Dragon Swordsman Chu Kai had nothing to worry about." Ling Xian Shu said slowly.

"I believe Miss Ling," Chu Kai smiled before finally staring at Wei Zhang Zihan. He looked at the young man's facial expression and then frowned.

"Darker Wei, you seem to be thinking about something. What's the problem?" Chu Kai asked.

"It feels... It's like we're forgetting something..." Wei Zhang Zihan touched his chin and seemed to think what he had forgotten. He felt that this was an important thing, but I didn't know what it was.

Chu Kai crossed his arms and also came to think. He scratched his non-itchy head and then said, "I don't think there is. It's what-!"

Chu Kai and Wei Zhang Zihan gasped simultaneously. The two young men immediately looked at each other as if they had remembered that they had indeed forgotten something.

"Fucking Shu!"

Ling Xian Shu turned around hearing the cry of the two young men behind him. He blinked before finally recalling the girl who was most likely still in the room where the dragon was.

"God... How could Swordsman Nalan Shu be forgotten?!" Chu Kai patted his forehead and then said. "Speckers Wei and Miss Ling just wait here. I'll be right back and bring Nalan Shu's warrior,"

Chu Kai immediately ran. He again exclaimed, "Don't leave me..! You guys wait there. I'll be right back..!"

"Amazing, how could the swordsman Nalan Shu be forgotten. Ouch..." Chu Kai was seen patting his forehead. He had already been inside the room before and saw the figure of Nalan Shu who was still lying with his body bound.

"There's so much love..." Chu Kai sighed before walking closer. He looked at the unconscious Nalan Shu, but the girl did not speak at all and just looked straight with a blank look.

"Backer Nalan, you should be able to talk. Yours... You become left behind like this," Chu Kai shook his head slowly and then began to carry Nalan Shu. He walked out of the room and went to the place where Wei Zhang Zihan and Ling Xian Shu were waiting.

It was fortunate that Chu Kai volunteered to bring Nalan Shu. Otherwise, others would have seen this room that already had no more mountains of gold pieces and not even the carcass of the ancient clan dragon was there.

The Nalan Shu that was not sucked into the scroll that Chu Kai had previously belonged to was because the heirloom was only capable of storing inanimate objects. Nalan Shu who was a human and a living being would naturally not be sucked into the scroll.

On the other hand, although Nalan Shu saw clearly a scroll that suddenly formed in the air and absorbed the precious treasures in this room... The girl still could not say anything. His thoughts were currently empty and it was as if someone had turned him into a puppet.

"Actually what the Dead Moon Sect has done to him," Chu Kai looked at Nalan Shu and breathed softly. "This little girl hasn't spoken since and that worries me a lot,"

"You've come, already" Wei Zhang Zihan saw Chu Kai walking towards him. He said, "How is he? Is Nalan Shu okay?"

"Mn, there are no serious injuries but Swordsman Nalan Shu does not want to talk. His gaze was blank and honestly it made me uncomfortable," Chu Kai said. "Although he was not injured, but his condition is arguably also not okay."

"Let Xian Shu examine him," Ling Xian Shu approached. He touched Nalan Shu's neck and drained a bit of his spiritual energy.

Ling Xian Shu's forehead shriveled. He said, "This rope locks up his spiritual energy and also prevents Xian Shu's spiritual energy from checking it out. The rope should be removed first,"

"I tied him up like that" Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice. His tone was flat as he said, "If the bond is removed... Nalan Shu will rebel and attack us with murderous intent."

"That's right," Chu Kai nodded in agreement. "Even though it looks like a girl, but Miss Nalan Shu is a swordsman with very nimble movements. He had truly become a troublesome enemy moreover he did not recognize anyone either,"

Ling Xian Shu noticed the girl who was in Chu Kai's arms and said, "What exactly happened to him?"

Chu Kai looked at Ling Xian Shu and remembered that this white-haired girl knew nothing about how Nalan Shu could be like this. He explained, "Broker Nalan Shu was once kidnapped by members of the Dead Moon Sect and we met him recently. Merely, Swordsman Nalan Shu knew no one at all and instead attacked us,"

Chu Kai nodded slowly. He carried Nalan Shu and was together with Wei Zhang Zihan... The two followed Ling Xian Shu until they arrived at a place with a dimensional hole. They entered that dimensional hole and appeared in another room that was still within the passage of the ancient tomb, only now did it sound quite a lot.

Chu Kai circulated his gaze around and then opened his voice. "Where is Miss Xia Ling Qing?"

"We didn't come from this room. Ling Qing'Er was likely in another room," Wei Zhang Zihan replied.

"Darker Wei, did you hear that?" Chu Kai said. "There's a lot of gunshots,"

"Mn, there seems to be a fight. Let's go and see,"

"Revelation!" Ling Xian Shu exclaimed and made Chu Kai and Wei Zhang Zihan jump immediately. Simultaneously, an attack came between them and bulldozed the ceiling of the room.

!!!

The ceiling of the room collapsed. Chu Kai who jumped to the other side and opposite direction to Ling Xian Shu had to separate. They and the white-haired girl were separated by the ruins of the ceiling of this place.

"Miss Ling, are you okay?!" Chu Kai exclaimed. He was worried and trying to find another way.

"Dragon Swordsman Chu Kai don't worry, Xian Shu is fine. We'll meet again,"

"He's looking for a way out, we should find another way too." Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice and made Chu Kai look at him.

"Executor Wei," Chu Kai opened his voice. "Would we just smash the walls?"

"See that,"

Chu Kai followed Wei Zhang Zihan's gaze and was shocked. Not far in front of him... There are some warriors who are fighting with other warriors.

Chu Kai watched her intently and was astonished. The appearance of some of the warriors looked different, dirty clothes with many incision marks and the swordsmen's skin was so pale.

Chu Kai held his breath as he looked at the faces of some extremely terrifying warriors, there were even those who had necks in a state of near-break but were still able to move.

"Pe-People Wei..." Chu Kai swallowed. His heartbeat raced extremely fast, he even found it difficult to simply turn his head towards Wei Zhang Zihan.

"They are undead," Wei Zhang Zihan drew his sword and then looked at Chu Kai. He said, "You take Nalan Shu and find Ling Qing'Er. Get out of this place as soon as possible,"

"But how can I leave you alone-Swider Wei..!" Chu Kai exclaimed as Wei Zhang Zihan suddenly shot up and entered the ensuing battle. He saw how the swordsman from the Wushi Mountain Sect saved a man who was almost cut off.

Wei Zhang Zihan's arrival made the swordsmen's condition slightly favorable. Chu Kai held onto the powerful Nalan Shu that was in his carrier before noticing Wei Zhang Zihan's fight.

He was just about to step away when Nalan Shu who was in his carriage let out a growling sound. This little girl gritted her teeth and was as if she was about to untie the bond that was holding her back.

"Defender Nalan..!" Chu Kai flinched. He was about to speak when he saw that there was a thin spiritual energy like a black thread and was about to surround Nalan Shu's body.

The ability of Chu Kai who was able to see the color of this spiritual energy also made the young man try to find out the origin of that spiritual thread. His gaze was fixed on the warriors who had become the undead and found similar spiritual energy.

"Is there perhaps still a member of the Dead Moon Sect in this place?" Chu Kai involuntarily held his breath. He had never doubted his premonition and this possibility was true, that there were still members of the Dead Moon Sect and it was a figure who had already changed Nalan Shu.
