"What about you? Are you going to die?" Little Phoenix and the cub's voices were full of concern.
Staring at a big blue dot on the map, Feng Wu smiled enigmatically. "I have an idea!" As the team leader ran off, Feng Wu doubled back and headed the other way.
Toward a blue dot. If she had guessed right, that represented a magical beast.
And the size of the dot indicated how capable it was. However, why would such a capable magical beast enter Zone 2? What was it looking for? Its cub, perhaps?
The dot wasn't too far away and Feng Wu quickly headed its way. In less than 15 minutes, Feng Wu was less than one kilometer away from the blue dot.
She hid under a pile of snow and looked out through a little hole. She saw a giant Qilin Beast. It was covered in ice and its scales glittered in the light.
The look in its eyes was sharp, murderous, and ferocious! And anxious! This Qilin Beast looked a lot like the dead Qilin Beast cub... It snuffled around with a frown.
Feng Wu's eyes lit up! If she had guessed correctly, this Qilin Beast was looking for that cub.
An idea struck Feng Wu when she realized that... Members of Blade were heading for the rendezvous point. She wouldn't have gotten this idea if they were going somewhere else. However, they had picked that spot, which gave Feng Wu a lot of room to maneuver.
The Qilin Beast followed the scent as it searched for its cub. Feng Wu estimated that it would reach the spot where its kid died in two hours.
After the Qilin Beast left, Feng Wu quickly jumped out of the snow and headed for the rendezvous point via another route. She needed to make some preparations in order to make use of that beast. If she did it right, she would be able to get rid of all of Blade in one go!
They had already learned that she had regained her abilities. If she let them leave alive, they would inform the Zuo family, and when that happened, she would have to face a lot more than just a team of hitmen.
All her worst fears would come true. Therefore, every single member of Blade had to die! She couldn't afford any mistakes!
Feng Wu outlined her plan on her way to the rendezvous point, and it was a complicated, interconnected stratagem.
An hour later
The team leader was the first to arrive.
The journey here had exhausted him. His legs gave out and he fell onto a pile of snow, panting loudly. He found the mask too suffocating and he was having a hard time breathing, so he ripped the black cloth off his face.
His face had turned a bluish color and was speckled all over, which was a terrifying look that reminded one of livor mortis. The team leader struggled to breathe. Wrapping his hands around his throat, he tried to throw up, but couldn't. Darkness filled his vision!
Just when he thought he was going to pass out... The group from the south was the first to arrive.
"Captain? Captain?"
Three was the leader of the group and he led Six and Nine back in a hurry.
"Captain? What happened? Why did you take off your mask?" Three put the mask back on his leader. After all, hitmen like them weren't supposed to show their faces to anyone.
