Zhan Shen: It’s Just a Sacrifice, How Can I Become a Villain?

59: For seven nights, Molly was captured by [Mask]!Song Zhong was squatting in front of a smokeless stove, carefully examining it, deep within the mountain forest.

”Finally, I’ve found someone who knows how to dig a smokeless stove!”

Then, Song Zhong shifted his gaze to the nearby pile of trash: chip bags, cola bottles, spicy strips, sausages, instant noodles, and other items.

Anyone unaware would have thought it was a group of college students camping!

”Quite the enjoyer!”

Song Zhong reached his hand into the smokeless stove. ”Oh? Still warm. Looks like they haven’t gone too far!”

Then he looked at the surrounding environment. ”It seems they left in this direction!”

Song Zhong followed in that direction.

Today was the seventh day. Since he had wiped out Shen Qingzhu and his group last time, Song Zhong hadn’t seen any other new recruits.

There was only one possibility for this situation: almost all the new recruits had been defeated by him and Masquerade.

”It’s already the seventh day. I wonder how long this identity can last? My time is probably running out!”

Just then, a thick plume of black smoke shot into the sky!

Song Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked in that direction, snorting coldly, ”Mask Squad, can’t you wait any longer?”

He then looked in the direction Lin Qi Ye and the others had left. ”Since that’s the case, let me speed up the game!”

...

Lin Qi Ye and his two companions were moving through the dense forest and also noticed the thick black smoke.

”Molly, Lin Qi Ye, there’s black smoke over there!” Bai Li Pang Pang pointed in a direction and shouted.

”I see it!” Lin Qi Ye stopped. ”Such a conspicuous signal must be from the Mask Squad!”

”Mask!”

Bai Li Pang Pang recalled that day, the astonished expression of the invisible assassin when his attack was blocked by [Yaoguang].

”That invisible assassin from that day was just so-so. He couldn’t do anything to me, so there’s nothing to be afraid of!”

After speaking, he turned to Molly and said, ”Molly, I didn’t bring many Forbidden Territories this time. If there’s anything you want, just tell me, and I’ll have my family send it over after the game ends.”

”No need, thank you. And Bai Li Pang Pang, I’ve told you more than once, I hate you rich people!” Molly said.

”Molly, Molly, I’m really not a rich person. I have no concept of money, and I don’t have a single penny on me. I just have a lot of miscellaneous items!”

Bai Li Pang Pang quickly explained, trying to prove that he really wasn’t a rich person.

”Too lazy to talk to you!” Molly glared at him and walked to the side.

Lin Qi Ye saw the awkward atmosphere in the team and had to change the subject.

”The assassin that day came very suddenly. Even if I could use [Mortal Divine Realm] to sense his position, when I realized his first target was you, I didn’t have time to react!”

”Pang Pang, you’re actually very impressive!” Lin Qi Ye was telling the truth; Moon Ghost’s appearance had indeed caught them off guard.

”But Pang Pang, I’m very curious, how do you have so many protective Forbidden Territories?”

Hearing Lin Qi Ye ask him, Bai Li Pang Pang scratched his head, ”Actually, it’s nothing much. I just got used to being assassinated a lot!”

Lin Qi Ye’s expression was stunned, feeling as if he had asked a question he shouldn’t have.

Molly, on the side, also glanced at Bai Li Pang Pang, suddenly feeling that being rich wasn’t so easy after all.

Bai Li Pang Pang looked at everyone’s gazes, feeling a bit strange, ”Why are you all looking at me like that? It’s making me self-conscious!”

”Oh, don’t worry too much about me. With my rich experience of being harmed, you could say I’m an assassin’s bane! Hahaha!”

”You’re truly... insane!” Molly dropped that line and walked away.

Seeing Molly about to leave, Bai Li Pang Pang quickly asked, ”Molly, where are you going?”

”I’m going to relieve myself. You two aren’t allowed to follow!” Molly said, blushing.

”Oh, okay. Don’t go too far from us, and be careful!” Bai Li Pang Pang shouted loudly.

”Got it, you’re annoying!”

Molly’s figure quickly disappeared into the trees.

After expelling the excess water from her body, Molly stood up. ”It’s so troublesome out in the wilderness, too many mosquitoes! Good thing my [Myriad Manifestation Frequency] can repel mosquitoes!”

Just as she was tying up her pants, a faint, dark voice, a woman’s voice, suddenly came from behind her.

”So, your Forbidden Territory can be used like that!”

Molly was startled, feeling her scalp tingle.

Someone behind her? How was that possible? She hadn’t sensed anything!

Molly turned around, and with a clang, her great katana was drawn!

”Who’s there playing tricks?”

”Hehehe! I’m not playing tricks, oh, I’ve been watching you for a long time, big sister!”

After Molly clearly saw who it was, she immediately became alert. She recognized the person opposite her, the only female participant in Mask, Rose!

”You’re the one who wields the big hammer?”

”That’s right, big sister, remember my name, I’m Rose!”

Molly gripped the katana in her hand. ”Weren’t you in that direction? How did you find us?”

Rose smiled. ”Don’t worry about such details. Are you trying to stall for time? I won’t give you that chance!”

Clang!

Suddenly, Molly moved, and the katana in her hand let out a clear ringing sound!

Bai Li Pang Pang and Lin Qi Ye, not far away, also heard the sound.

”Oh no, something happened to Molly!” Bai Li Pang Pang jumped up from the ground, grabbed Lin Qi Ye, and rushed in the direction of the sound.

Boom, boom, boom!

Immediately followed by a series of explosions!

Lin Qi Ye and Bai Li Pang Pang quickly arrived at the scene of the explosion.

They saw a woman wearing a Rose Mask, who had already hoisted Molly onto her shoulder.

”Put that woman down!”

Bai Li Pang Pang immediately pulled out the [Wind Thunder Scroll] from his Free Space. Just as he was about to fan it towards Rose, he saw Rose block herself with the unconscious Molly.

”Little fatty, if you’ve got the guts, hit hard! Can you bear to do it?”

Bai Li Pang Pang froze. ”You, you Mask are too shameless!”

”Heh heh, I’m Mysterious now. Don’t treat us like Night Watchers, Bai Li Pang Pang. I’ll give you a chance. If you want to get this woman back, let’s see if you can keep up with me!”

With that, Rose once again hoisted Molly onto her shoulder and quickly retreated in the direction of the thick smoke.

Bai Li Pang Pang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. ”Lin Qi Ye, Lin Qi Ye, Molly was captured by Mask!”

Lin Qi Ye’s face, however, showed a look of doubt. ”Pang Pang, something about this doesn’t seem right!”

”What’s not right? She’s been captured! No, Lin Qi Ye, I’m going to save Molly!”

With that, Bai Li Pang Pang pulled out his greatsword from his Free Space and jumped onto it!

[Ready to go! Bai Li Map continues to navigate for you!]

”Lin Qi Ye, quickly get on the sword!” Bai Li Pang Pang urged.

Lin Qi Ye had no choice but to jump on as well!
