Chapter 158: Magic Continent Mu Xue’s Doubt
Wilderness
After the cold attack, Xiao Yi Fei and Lu Min Feng left the Mole Rat Nest and flew towards the small town to pick up people.
Sang Jing Wen and Mu Xue encountered Lu Min Feng, who was in invisibility mode, almost as soon as they left the city. After confirming that Sang Jing Wen and the other person had no tails following them, they released their Flying Eagles and picked them up.
Sang Jing Wen took out the Mermaid Card: “Sang Sang said to bring Yun Na with us. I have a bad feeling about this, what do you think?”
He handed the Mermaid Card to Lu Min Feng. At this moment, Sang Chu had already left the Laboratory and was resting at the place Wu Qi had prepared.
“A Chu is calling.”
Lu Min Feng quickly answered. In the group chat of five, Sang Chu lay on a chair, rubbing his throbbing brow and said: “Brother, Min Feng, first check if there are any Corpse Spirits nearby. If there are, help me catch one and send it to Mino.”
Hearing Sang Chu’s slightly tired voice, Sang Jing Wen couldn’t help but ask: “Sang Sang, what’s wrong?”
“I just went to the Witch Hospital and I understand why Xiao Xue and Yun Na were so scared. The fact that we have Mermaids cannot be exposed. So, Brother, be careful with the Mermaid Card. Also, Elves, unless absolutely necessary, don’t use them lightly. Min Feng, draw up an escape route. I’ll leave early tomorrow. You guys wait for me near the Mole Rat Nest. After the cold attack, we’ll leave. We need to leave Flower Town in the shortest possible time.”
She always felt like she had overlooked something, and her heart was uneasy. This feeling became even more pronounced after meeting Wu Qi today.
This place was no longer safe. However, today’s events made her realize that things that could be hidden should not be revealed!
Lu Min Feng: “I do have a route plan, but there’s a slight problem.”
Sang Chu: “What problem?”
Lu Min Feng: “Hovercars cannot be used while traveling. Those monsters can see hovercars, and our attacks are completely ineffective against them. Also, that whistle, I suspect it has a limited number of uses. My whistle no longer sounds.”
Sang Chu exclaimed: “What? How can that be! Brother, what about yours?”
Sang Jing Wen: “I don’t dare to try it now. I used it once before. If it’s as Min Feng says, then it can only be used twice. I have one left. Yours and Mu Xue’s, and A Yi’s are probably the same.”
Sang Chu clenched his fists and sighed helplessly: “These whistles are not items that can be purchased indefinitely. This means we can’t use them all the way, we have to save them for emergencies.”
Xiao Yi Fei: “Sister, are we still going to try the whistle tonight?”
Sang Chu: “No, we won’t. If it really has a limited number of uses, then each use is one less. If there are Corpse Spirits near the Mole Rat Nest, mark them, and we’ll act together when I get out. If not, don’t take risks, safety is important.”
“Okay, we understand. Then we’ll go back to pick you up after the cold attack.”
Sang Chu: “It’s okay, you guys just wait for me there. Traveling back and forth is troublesome and unsafe. That’s all for now. Contact me if anything comes up.”
She was about to hang up but suddenly remembered the original reason for contacting them and quickly said: “Oh, right, if you can’t use hovercars in the wilderness, you can try asking Yun Na to pull off some of her scales for you. Mermaid scales should be able to resist the cold attack.”
Mu Xue looked at Sang Chu’s face on the Optical Computer and hesitated to speak. Sang Jing Wen asked: “Okay, we understand.”
Sang Chu: “This is a last resort. Yun Na’s body isn’t in great condition right now. If we can get into the Flying Eagle, we won’t need her scales. I’ll try to get a test subject from the Witch Hospital. I’m just telling you this in case of emergency. If necessary, to survive, take her scales.”
Lu Min Feng saw Mu Xue’s face turn pale and not speak, and quickly said: “Okay, I understand. Be careful yourself. I’m hanging up now.”
“Okay.”
Sang Chu also saw Mu Xue’s expression, but she couldn’t afford to consider it too much now. Life in the wilderness was too unpredictable, and she didn’t know what kind of enemies would appear. Once the hovercar was discovered, with everyone inside, they would be trapped like fish in a barrel.
Mu Xue looked at Lu Min Feng and Sang Jing Wen, who had calm expressions, and her lips trembled for a long time, but she couldn’t say anything. She knew Sang Chu meant well for them, but she couldn’t help but think about taking Yun Na’s scales in a critical moment, especially since Yun Na trusted Sang Chu so much.
Sang Jing Wen was by Mu Xue’s side and seeing her like this, he said softly, “Don’t you think Sang Sang is a bit cruel to Yun Na?”
Mu Xue nodded almost inaudibly: “I know it’s a last resort, but it’s just…”
Lu Min Feng: “Xiao Xue, have you considered what would happen to Yun Na if something happened to us here, or if something happened to Sang Chu?”
Hearing this, Mu Xue immediately looked up at Lu Min Feng. Xiao Yi Fei looked at Mu Xue helplessly: “Xiao Xue’er, have you forgotten the scene when you first met Yun Na?”
“I, I know, it’s just, it’s just that Yun Na trusts Sang Sang so much.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Precisely because she trusts her, when Sang Sang let her come out with us, she already guessed what Sang Sang might need her to do. But she didn’t say anything. She’s afraid of men, but she listened to Sang Sang’s words and let me take her card because she believed Sang Sang wouldn’t harm her life. Whatever Sang Sang asked her to do, she would do it. Therefore, Sang Sang did not betray her trust. Sang Sang is simply doing more to protect us so we can survive in the wilderness.”
Mu Xue lowered her head, as if persuaded, and said softly: “I know.”
“Xiao Xue, Sang Sang is still the Sang Sang we know.”
Mu Xue’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she kept her head down, afraid to look up. Sang Jing Wen had spoken her inner thoughts, and she felt a little panicked.
She was truly afraid, afraid that Sang Chu had become someone she didn’t recognize. She didn’t want to doubt Sang Chu like this, but since arriving in this place, many of Sang Chu’s actions had seemed strange to her.
But when she heard Sang Jing Wen’s words, she realized that she hadn’t been firm enough.
Sang Chu was still the person who had always stood in front of her and protected her. It was just that the time and place had forced her to change her way of protection, but Mu Xue was afraid because Sang Chu’s method of protection felt unfamiliar.
This was truly wrong.
“I, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted Sang Sang.”
Although Xiao Yi Fei didn’t like to overthink things, he wasn’t foolish. He had noticed something was off about Sang Chu since arriving on the Magic Continent. For him, this Sang Chu made him feel more secure. At least, Sang Chu genuinely cared about their lives, which was why she was trying every means to protect them.
“Xiao Xue’er, if it weren’t for the Apocalypse, if it weren’t for the danger we’d be in, Sang Sang wouldn’t have brought us to the Magic Continent. And you came here yourself, haven’t you realized how dangerous this place is?”
Yet, in such a dangerous place, Sang Chu had walked through it alone before. Even after arriving here, we couldn’t help her much; it was basically always her protecting us. Look, Lu Min Feng’s Flying Eagle, the Magic Beasts and slaves you have in your hands, which one wasn’t bought with money Sang Chu earned? Why would you doubt her? She’s still herself, she’s just more calm in handling problems because she’s responsible for our lives.”
