Chapter 144 Zoe in Danger
“It’s good that it’s not Yi Yi… It’s good that it’s not…” Lu Shaoang murmured with his eyes tightly closed.
This is a rotten corpse, surrounded by countless corpses of burial beetles. Normally, burial beetles will eat corpses, but why is this corpse intact?
Lu Shaoang frowned slightly. Could it be that the burial beetles were afraid of rotten corpses?
Thinking this way, Lu Shaoang felt that everything made sense. The plants that were burned to ashes and the rotting corpses were all natural enemies of the burial beetles. And these were all done by Su Jinyi, so she must still be alive!
Hope instantly rekindled in Lu Shaoang's heart. He stood up and walked in another direction.
Seeing that Lu Shaoang was about to leave, He Xiao and Li Haodong, who were hiding in the dark, hurriedly chased after him and said worriedly: "Boss!"
Lu Shaoang turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Boss, how can you be sure that Miss Su will be in that direction? I'm afraid what if... what if we make the wrong choice, it will be dangerous!" Li Haodong said anxiously.
"I didn't meet her on the way back. Now this is the only direction we have. We must find her even if there is danger." Lu Shaoang said coldly.
"Boss, I'll go with you!" He Xiao said immediately.
It would be difficult to deal with danger if everyone dispersed, so Lu Shaoang did not object and asked them to follow him.
"Boss...Miss Su took the risk because of me." He Xiao said ashamedly.
Lu Shaoang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Miss Su said that the boss needs me...so I can't get into trouble. I'm sorry, boss..."
Lu Shaoang was stunned, his eyes darkened, how could she think about others but not herself? He also needed her...
"It's okay, it's not your fault." Lu Shaoang said lightly.

Su Jinyi and Kelin walked side by side. After walking for a while, she gradually felt a strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't help but stop and look around. It was extremely quiet here, and there was not even a trace of human breath. It seemed that they had been far away from the hustle and bustle of the world and were in a desolate place.
The trees on both sides of the road looked a little eerie, their branches and leaves intertwined, forming a natural barrier that prevented the sun from penetrating. Su Jinyi frowned slightly.
She turned to look at Colin beside her and found that he also looked a little serious, as if he was thinking about something. Su Jin frowned and broke the silence:
"Are you sure Lu Shaoang will be in this direction?"
"Not sure." Colin said lightly.
Su Jinyi:……
Originally, after seeing Lu Shaoang, Colin deliberately took Su Jinyi in the opposite direction to satisfy his evil taste. But now he vaguely felt that this place was not safe.
He didn't want Su Jinyi to take risks with him, so he stopped and said, "Let's rest here for a while. Maybe Lu Shaoang will come to find us."
Su Jin nodded slightly. After all, she and He Xiao had just met by accident. Besides, the atmosphere here was too weird, so she couldn't act rashly.
"This flower is so beautiful, I want to pick it!" Zoe pointed excitedly at a bright red flower blooming on a vine.
The bodyguard looked at the unusually bright flowers and reminded: "Miss, you'd better not touch the things here. It's easy to get into trouble."
"Oh, I'm not going out to play. I want to pick it and give it to 539. She saved us twice, and I want to give her something!" Zoe insisted.
The bodyguard looked at the flowers on the vine warily and had to agree.
I reached out to pick it, but I didn't notice that there were sharp thorns hidden under the flower, and glands that secreted a sticky juice.
As soon as the bodyguard's hand touched the flowers on the vine, he immediately felt a stinging pain. He quickly pulled his hand back and found that it was covered with vine juice.
"What's wrong?" Zoe asked puzzledly, looking at the bodyguard's abnormality.
"No, nothing, maybe I just touched a thorn..."
"I want that one!" Zoe ordered, pointing to the largest flower.
"it is good."
The bodyguard felt a burning sensation on his skin where it had just touched the flower. At first he thought it was an illusion, but when he was about to move again, the burning sensation became more and more intense.
The bodyguard had a bad feeling. He looked at his hands and said in horror: "Miss... there's something wrong with this flower!"
The bodyguard watched in horror as his hands gradually lost feeling and his skin began to become as hard as stone. The petrification effect began to spread up his arms and he could feel his movements becoming increasingly stiff.
Several people watched as his arm turned silver at a speed visible to the naked eye and gradually turned into petrification.
Zoe screamed in fear
“Ahhhhhh…Help!”
The other two bodyguards quickly surrounded Zoe and watched in horror as the vines in front of them began to slowly move, as if they had just awakened.
Su Jin paused and frowned, "Did you hear any screams?"
Colin shrugged. "No."
Su Jinyi stood up immediately and strode towards the source of the sound. She clearly heard a scream, which seemed to be Zoe's?
Colin looked at Su Jinyi's back and said unhappily: "Do you know him?"
Su Jinyi looked at Colin coldly and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"
He obviously heard it, so why did he pretend not to hear it?
Colin didn't like the look in Su Jin's eyes when she saw him. He just wanted to be with Su Jin, so why did so many people want to disturb him? It was really annoying.
"I'll go with you." Colin was the first to give in as if to make up for his mistake.
The originally quiet vines twisted and expanded wildly like a waking monster. At the same time, the originally small and delicate flowers on the vines also bloomed rapidly as if they were under a spell, and each flower was larger and more colorful than before. A large amount of thick juice also flowed out of the vines, and the juice slowly flowed along the veins of the vines.
The man looked at his arm which was gradually petrified in horror. He tried to break free from this strange bond, but found that it was all in vain. He watched as the petrification area continued to expand, and soon covered the entire arm.
The man's other arm also began to slowly turn silver, as if an invisible force was eroding his body.
The vines surrounded the men, and the juice from the vines was flowing down. The man said in horror: "Avoid the juice from the vines!"
Several people witnessed the process of the man's arm turning into stone with their own eyes. They did not dare to let the juice remain on their bodies and avoided it carefully.
When Su Jin saw this, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He drew out his sword without hesitation and chopped down at the hideous and twisted vines like lightning! At the same time, he quickly shouted: "Get out of the way!"
Hearing her cry, the others did not dare to hesitate at all. They stared closely at the direction where Su Jinyi swung his sword, waited for the right moment, followed the gap created by Su Jinyi, and escaped from the encirclement of vines as quickly as possible.
