Chapter 717 - No Rescue
Berg family thought that the plants that could communicate with the heavens could convey the meaning of the heavens, which was both foolish and laughable.Shi Xiaonian sat beside Gong Ou, and upon hearing these words, she was startled for a long time, "You want to turn a living person into a vegetable? "How do you change that?"
How could there be such an inconceivable thing? It sounded too absurd.
"They will torture the chosen one with all their might. They will not give up until she dies or until she turns into a vegetable. When I was young, I saw them throw a man from a tall building into the sea, throw him into the fire, and crush him with a carriage." Feng De said, "I always thought that there were no girls in Berg family, but I never thought that there would be a new one now."
How could a healthy person become a vegetable so easily? This probability was much lower than death, and the amount of pain he had to endure was far too much."…"
It was truly terrifying.Shi Xiaonian couldn't imagine what kind of torture those women who were chosen had to go through before in order to die.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Gong Ou's cold voice, "What is the process of asking for the heaven's will?"
Feng De looked at the ancient door deep inside, "The Heavenly Girl is being sacrificed there, and when I ask for Heaven's will, there will be many guards protecting the Heavenly Girl. Everyone must first take a bath, and then kneel in front of the Heavenly Girl for an entire hour, for heaven's will.""Is that so? Then there's still a certain amount of time. Two hours is about enough?"
Gong Ou's gaze turned heavy as he asked.
"Young Master is referring to the time when the Heavenly Girl was invited out?" Feng De did not understand why Gong Ou was interested in this, and thought, "It should be enough. Bergler is very anxious now, he will urgently need the Heavenly Girl to give him instructions."
"That's enough!"
Gong Ou said, there was no need to wait any longer. He pressed on his watch without hesitation and sent the signal for the people of the Gong Jia to come rescue them as soon as possible.Under the protection of the guards, Bergler went back to bathe and change.
All of the guards stood beside Gong Ou and the others, pointing their weapons at them. Su Yaoyao, who was covered in blood from the attack, was pushed back fiercely again.A guard raised his leg to kick him.
Shi Xiaonian immediately reached out and pulled her, and the sunlight shone through the forest and onto the two people. Su Yaoyao's swollen knees fell onto the ground, and with her entire body covered in mud, she looked up at Shi Xiaonian in a daze.
"Get up."Shi Xiaonian pulled her up.
Su Yaoyao's face revealed all sorts of emotions. She reached out to wipe the blood on her mouth, then sat down beside her with her head lowered, her hand buried in her hair.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Su Yaoyao, thought for a moment, and then raised his hand to lightly pat her back, saying gently, "Don't worry, we will be able to leave."
Gong Ou glanced at Shi Xiaonian, then lowered her head to look at the time on her watch, calculated how short it would take for a Gong Jia to reach the island, and cast a glance at Feng De.Feng De nodded at him, then turned and looked at the guards by his side. Although it was a little difficult, but he would risk his life to protect his young master and minuscule thought before the rescue arrives.
Su Yaoyao sat there, sobbing in distress. Only after a long time did she finally raise her head and look at Shi Xiaonian, enduring the pain as she asked, "Don't you hate me?"
Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes and looked towards the altar, "Do you think that what I'm doing now is me hating you?"Su Yaoyao followed her line of sight.
This was a strange island.
An ancient feudal and cruel family.A bloody, barren execution forest.
The guards around you all glared at you. There was no law, no order, no emotion, as if they would not hesitate to thrust their weapons into your chest in the next second and they would enjoy it.In this kind of environment, they seemed to be relying on each other to survive. Su Yaoyao blamed herself and said, "I was too naive, I thought I could do it by myself, I thought I could do anything."
"Who the hell are you looking for? How dare you set foot on this island with just a girl?" Shi Xiaonian asked.
It must be someone very important.
That was why they were willing to ignore everything else.
Hearing her words, Su Yaoyao reached out to wipe her tears, then said with a choked voice. "I'm here with my own mother.""Natural mother?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at her in shock."Yes." Su Yaoyao nodded her head, "I have never seen her before, but I miss her a lot. I want to save her, and bring her along with me."
Shi Xiaonian frowned and asked puzzledly, "This island is isolated from the world. Back then, it was so difficult for my foster father to escape, so why are you living outside, and Mother living on this island?"
"My mother risked her life to send me out." Su Yaoyao said, his eyes red, "I didn't know before, but it was only a year ago that my adoptive parents told me about my ancestry. I spent a lot of time groping my way to the school, gathering information about the Berg Island everywhere, and only came here after a year.""…"
"I thought I had prepared well enough, but I didn't expect it to still be like this." Su Yaoyao said as he looked at her guiltily, "I'm sorry Mrs. Gong, I have implicated you. I really did not want to harm you guys. "Too rash."
She was impulsive enough to snitch.
They were all waiting for the execution here. Not only would she die, she would also drag the Mr. Gong and the Mrs. Gong down with her."Alright, it's useless talking about this now. If you're a bit stronger, we can get out." Shi Xiaonian said.
Su Yaoyao nodded her head, seeing that Shi Xiaonian was about to say something, she saw Bergler, who had just changed his clothes and was being escorted by a large group of guards, enter the Execution Forest.
The wind howled.The guards rushed in one after another, much more than before. It was clearly daytime, but everyone still lit their torches. The red flames were wantonly burning.
The stench of blood in the air took everything.
Soon after, a few wearing strange attire similar to Magi walked in, and started to dance around the altar, playing songs that Shi Xiaonian had never heard before. The tune was similar to the forest of execution, giving off a creepy feeling.
"Everyone, stand up!"
The Chief Guard pointed his weapon at them.
Looking at the sharp blade, Shi Xiaonian stood up obediently from the broken tree. Gong Ou also stood up, his black eyes staring at the watch on his wrist, his brows knitted slowly.
Suddenly, they arrived in front of Shi Xiaonian, who reacted quickly and grabbed Shi Xiaonian behind him.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian frowned, she quietly looked at this scene and asked softly from behind, "How is it? When will our people arrive? "
"Something is wrong."Gong Ou said coldly, his black eyes sweeping the area in front of him coldly.
"What's wrong?" Shi Xiaonian asked as she pulled her into her embrace, "According to the time, Bergler should have already received the news of someone invading the islands by now. A person who is so arrogant at night would definitely not be as calm as he is now."
"…"Shi Xiaonian looked at Bergler, and saw that the man was standing on the altar, allowing the magicians to dance beside him. His expression was still considered calm, as if he did not have any expression of being beaten up.
She couldn't help but say, "I saw you send the signal."
With that, Feng De walked forward and whispered, "Young Master, why do our watches keep getting ready? They should be on the island by now.""…"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De in shock.Gong Ou's face instantly darkened, and he almost said each word through gritted teeth, "Something's wrong with the signal."
"How is that possible? It was fine before, I even sent it to someone else on the yacht." Feng De said. How could there be any problems with something that Young Master designed?
Gong Ou lowered his gaze, looked at the ground below him that was completely barren, and stepped on it as he coldly asked, "Feng De, was this place truly filled with green grass?"
"No, that was Bergler deliberately scaring the minuscule thought, he has been like that since he was young, he likes to see people afraid, to satisfy his abnormal mentality." Feng De immediately said, "This Execution Forest has never grown grass, it has always been bare."
"There's good stuff underground."
Gong Ou said coldly."…"
Feng De and Shi Xiaonian were at a loss.
"There's probably something underground that can affect the signal. If we mine it for a bit, it would be a considerable amount of wealth." Gong Ou laughed at himself as he lowered his eyes to look at Shi Xiaonian, "Congratulations to your man, for finding a fortune with your safety."
How could he not have expected this and brazenly brought her to the island?
It was stupid.
Gong Ou, you are too fucking stupid!
"…"
Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale white, what did that mean? The signal was affected, the people of the Gong Jia would not easily reach the island without permission, after all, they were only looking for robots, who would think that this matter was dangerous?
"Then what should we do?"Su Yaoyao asked fearfully from the side.
Gong Ou stood there, the thin lip pressed down until a line was formed, its long fingers pressed on Shi Xiaonian's shoulders. It then pulled her into an embrace and hugged her tightly, its black eyes were so deep that they couldn't be seen.
Not knowing why, Shi Xiaonian suddenly felt that Gong Ou's hug was extremely helpless.
She knew him too well. He was confident, even conceited, and he thought his plan was flawless, but now that the situation had suddenly become completely without reinforcements, he began to panic.
But he couldn't show it.
He could do nothing but hug.Shi Xiaonian raised his hand, her fingers grabbing onto Yun Che's clothes, and said with a gentle voice, as if she was coaxing a child, "It's alright, Gong Ou, we will definitely pass through this trial."
"I'm afraid, Shi Xiaonian."
Gong Ou said.
"…"Shi Xiaonian's heart skipped a beat, she laughed, "Don't be afraid, what's there to be afraid of, don't you want to invite the Heavenly Maiden? Maybe Heaven's Will is on our side, let Bergler let us go."
But the Heavenly Lady was just a vegetable, how could he help them?
"Don't worry, I, Gong Ou, will not give up until the last step! I will not let you get even the slightest bit hurt! " Gong Ou said with a ruthless look in his eyes. Then, he slowly let go of Shi Xiaonian and looked at him, "There's no rescue now. It's only us."
