It was like supernatural. Gu Mengmeng reached out one hand.
Those blood vines… oh, no, they should be called crystal vines now.
Those crystal vines immediately meshed together to form a human-like hand. It copied Gu Mengmeng’s action and gently touched her palm.
A rustling sound ensued and the crystal vines divided into two sides, to reveal a magical paradise right before their very eyes.
Elvis and Lea exchanged a wordless glance.
Leonard stepped forward and bowed towards Gu Mengmeng. “I had come to help but became a burden. This round, let me go ahead first.”
Gu Mengmeng just nodded without a word.
Humans were selfish creatures.
She was unwilling to let Elvis and Lea risk their lives again. If something like that chrysalis situation happened to them again, Gu Mengmeng would go mad.
Peter was feeling guilty over his earlier attack on Gu Mengmeng, but he was not a person who would say sorry.
In his view, it was better to do something to make up for one’s wrong rather than just saying sorry a hundred times.
Moreover, he did not trust Leonard.
So he just silently tagged alongside Leonard to lead the way with him.
Elvis followed behind them with Gu Mengmeng in his arms, while Lea walked beside him. They covered Gu Mengmeng on both sides to ensure comprehensive protection.
Wabei covered the rear. After all, he had the advantage of being very long. If anything happened, he could just use his tail and carry Gu Mengmeng off.
The party walked along the pathway created by the crystal vines. The scenery was lovely but no one was in the mood to enjoy it.
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t bear the heavy silence and prodded Lea. “I just thought of something.”
Lea glanced at her and responded with a tender, “Mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng said, “Do you remember at the ocean, I told before that I had a dream where I saw countless streaks of blood burst out in the sky behind you, while you come towards me drenched in blood… and that scene, was exactly the same as what I saw before I fainted.”
Lea smiled playfully. “Could it be father-in-law gave you the ability to see the future?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “How could it be? My lonely old man is so petty. He has never actively given me extra pocket money unless I asked for it. He would never give me something like the ability to see the future unless I watch at least eight to ten episodes of television with him.”
Lea was used to Gu Mengmeng’s grumblings about the Beast Deity. From the initial fluster to being able to make light about it now. He said with a nod, “It could be a coincidence then.”
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head doubtfully. “Just a coincidence… that’s also too absurd. The two scenes were exactly the same.”
Lea knew Gu Mengmeng possessed a photographic memory after inheriting Snake’s powers, hence he did not doubt her recollection.
But it was just a dream and Lea didn’t take it to heart. He just caressed Gu Mengmeng’s head and told her not to think too much.
Gu Mengmeng agreed after mulling over it a little more. It was a waste of time to let her thoughts run wild on this. She would just ask her lonely old man the next time she visited him.
As she thought that, a sudden wail resonated through the air.
Having had the earlier scare by those blood vines, Gu Mengmeng immediately went on the alert at that noise.
But nothing appeared to have changed in their surroundings. The only thing that happened was that Leonard had collapsed writhing on the ground. His face was hideously twisted in extreme pain.
