Chapter 370 Feather’s Whereabouts (3.5k)
In the corner between the church exit and the last row of benches, two figures seemed to be confronting each other. All eyes seemed to focus here for a moment, followed by whispers, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
“Are you asking me?”
Lowering her gaze and seeing the other person’s hopeful expression, Su Jiu showed a rather strange smile, smiling without smiling, pointing to herself, and asked.
“Nonsense, who else if not you? Huh… you’re from the Raven too?”
Rolling her eyes, Lina got up slightly, finally noticing the white coat on Su Jiu, and looked at the child behind Su Jiu again, showing a faint smile, “Then I won’t take it by force… How about this, I’ll give you twenty million, trade your eyes for mine, and you can find any lowly person to swap eyes with, and you won’t go blind.”
Saying that, she suddenly bent over, revealing a sickly smile, leaned close to the little girl, covered her mouth and chuckled, “—Isn’t the broken child behind you just perfect? Her previous eyeballs weren’t very good after being taken out, so I didn’t even collect them, I just threw them in the toilet…”
“…”
Hearing the other person’s words, the little girl’s face instantly turned pale. She grabbed the hem of Su Jiu’s white coat and stared intently at the blonde girl in front of her—it was this person who had forcibly exchanged her eyes for some food.
“What if I refuse?”
Patting the little girl who was shrinking behind her, Su Jiu chuckled, still smiling without smiling at Lina.
After her strength increased to the point where she could resist a Battle King, she rarely had such things thrown in her face. Did this young lady’s brain not work very well?
“You dare to talk to me like this? Do you know that even your immediate superior has to be respectful to me?”
Hearing Su Jiu’s answer, Lina was slightly stunned, then twirled her hair with her finger, slowly stood up, narrowed her eyes, and through the light of the incandescent lamp, under her brown-gray pupils, there was a hint of playfulness.
“Heh heh, no need to look for one when Yela fully invades… You all come here, I’ve found a better one, I’ll use her!”
Before Su Jiu could react, under the gaze of everyone around, she turned around and called out to the White Feather members who were also wearing white coats.
“This… Lord B-11?”
Those White Feather members were slightly stunned when they found Su Jiu, who was also wearing a white coat, then they looked at the black-clothed woman sitting on the sofa not far away. After all, in their opinion, Su Jiu was most likely their colleague, so they had to ask their superior.
At the other end of the sofa on the stage, the black-clothed woman had long since noticed the conversation between Su Jiu and the child. She slowly stood up, frowned, and said sternly to Lina, “Miss Lina, please don’t mess around. The people here are not your experimental subjects, they still have to be responsible for conducting alchemy experiments on these refugees.”
Discovering that the White Feather members and the black-clothed woman were unwilling to help her, Lina’s face sank. She turned to look at Su Jiu’s smug face, then her eyes narrowed slightly, and she let out a cold snort, “Could it be that Commander B-11 doesn’t remember that Lord A-3 asked you Ravens to satisfy my demands as much as possible? Or do you Ravens not want to know the whereabouts of that thing?”
“Lord A-3…”
Hearing this codename, the black-clothed woman’s expression also became conflicted. After a moment of silence, she gave Su Jiu a helpless glance and spread her gloved hands, indicating that she had done her best…
“That thing is indeed very important to us. You listen to her. You can compensate this White Feather member later.”
Those white coats looked at Su Jiu with a sense of shared misfortune. Two White Feather members immediately let go of the girl on the chair, pushed her away, and looked at Su Jiu, as if saying—Come on, soon you’ll be replaced in an instant.
“Heh heh, soon your eyes will be mine, and now you won’t even get twenty million, you…”
Turning her head again, Lina’s face showed a triumphant expression. When she tried to find that look of fear on Su Jiu’s face, she found that the other party still had that smiling-without-smiling expression.
“Bang!”
Just as she was about to say something, a white shadow flashed before her eyes, followed by a sonic boom. Lina’s pupils shrank, and she felt a sharp pain in her neck.
Then she lost consciousness. In an instant, she was like a sandbag, crashing directly into the chairs, and was finally held by a hand tightly around her throat.
“I’m very curious about what you call that thing. If you tell me, I might let you go.”
Su Jiu said softly, her hand gripping the other’s neck, but not killing her for nothing.
She was a little curious about what that thing they were talking about was, or rather—whether it was these legendary three feathers.
“Did they have internal conflict?”
Seeing this, the crowd immediately caused a commotion. Many people’s eyes gradually lit up, watching Lina, who kept demanding the girl’s eyes, get beaten like a dead dog. Instantly, a sense of relief welled up in their hearts.
“Are you f***ing crazy?!”
Just after Su Jiu made her move, the black shadow woman shouted and quickly broke through the air, blocking in front of the former.
The other party’s strength was also revealed in an instant, all of it pressing down on Su Jiu. Just as she expected, she was an initial stage Battle King, someone she could easily handle even without activating “Elegy.”
“Her father is the main person in charge of exploring that thing, and he’s a high-rank Battle King. Let her go, and I can spare your life.”
The black-clothed woman first glanced at Lina, who was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, her eyes couldn’t help but lift, then she looked at Su Jiu and said with a slight frown.
She dared not act rashly and could only use words to trick Su Jiu into letting go of Lina. If she suddenly attacked and Lina was harmed, she would surely be held responsible.
“If you answer me what that thing you’re talking about is, I’ll consider letting her go.”
Su Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly, the grip on her hand tightened, but her voice remained as calm as ever. If that thing was truly the feather of “God Spa,” it might have some effect on her.
The awakening of Ghost Car’s Battle King level depended on Su Jiu’s exploration of various feathers. Otherwise, obtaining even a traveler-level feather would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Of course, if she awakened to the Battle King level, after using all her amplification, she might directly approach demigod!
“…Aren’t you White Feather?”
The black-clothed woman hesitated slightly. She looked at Su Jiu again. The reason why she kept calling it “that thing” was because she didn’t want anyone to understand what it was.
However, as a White Feather, she was qualified to know some things.
Su Jiu smiled faintly: “Guess.”
“Uh… it’s a feather, quick… let me go.”
Before B-11 could think further, a rather weak voice came from Su Jiu’s palm, it was Lina, who was being choked by Su Jiu.
“Feather?! Is it the feather left by Lord of the Gods?”
“It’s not a legend, it’s real in mythology! Will Aers really have favored warriors?”
“Could that girl in white clothes be the warrior who came to save us?”
After this was said, the crowd quickly reacted. Some began to mention the myth and looked at Su Jiu with anticipation.
“These people must not be left alive.”
Her gaze swept around, and the black-clothed woman B-11’s expression suddenly changed. She narrowed her eyes at the chattering crowd, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and powerful external qi suddenly surged out from her body. The black external qi was corrosive.
It directly caused white smoke to corrode on the ground, and a pair of silver-white finger cots appeared on her hands. The fingertips, rendered by this dark erosion attribute external qi, appeared extremely sharp.
“It’s indeed a feather.”
Su Jiu glanced at B-11’s reaction, her foot tapped lightly, and a surge of blood energy rose, directly dissolving the opponent’s aura.
She was now eighty percent sure that this Raven had come for this feather, but she had no idea in which direction it was.
Searching for a feather in the entire Aers was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
“I… I’ve already said it.”
The other party struggled to pry open Su Jiu’s hand, but found that those slender fingers were more secure than a vise. She could only look at Su Jiu with despair in her eyes, begging her to let her go.
“Miss Lina has already said it, you should let her go, right?” B-11’s gaze fell back on Su Jiu, and she said in a deep voice while constantly rubbing the sharp edges of her fingertips.
The opponent could actually dissolve her aura, and her strength was likely not below her own. Given her Eastern appearance, she was likely from some foreign force.
She could only pray that the opponent would abide by the rules.
“Where is the location of that feather?” Su Jiu continued to ask unhurriedly, seemingly unconcerned about the menacing B-11.
“You don’t follow the rules?!” B-11’s eyes fell on Lina, and she immediately scolded angrily, but she still dared not act rashly.
“In… Aers… to the east…” Lina also realized that the other party was not a member of White Feather at all. She glanced at B-11, who was ready to strike, and their eyes met.
She understood that only by attracting Su Jiu could she have a chance to escape and counter-kill the latter.
“Where to the east?” Su Jiu continued to ask faintly.
“To the east… Go to hell, you b****!”
Lina swallowed, suddenly closed her eyes, slapped her chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood mist. A golden light flashed around her body, protecting her entire person, but it couldn’t cover her neck…
Lina’s pupils slowly widened…
“Die for me!”
At this moment, B-11 roared, charging at Su Jiu, tearing the air apart. The sharp whistling sound made many commoners worry for Su Jiu.
Su Jiu dragged Lina, who looked like a dead dog, then stepped forward, tilted her body strangely, and dodged the fatal claw. The tips of her hair were lifted by the strong wind.
“Can’t wait any longer?”
Su Jiu chuckled lightly. The giant scythe in her hand suddenly appeared. She slammed its handle towards the back of the black shadow. With a dull “bang!”, B-11 was hit heavily on the pillar like a baseball, and her whole body bent like a shrimp.
“Shu shu shu—”
Immediately afterward, Su Jiu casually swung the giant scythe in her hand, slashing out several crescent-shaped blades. The blades were composed of energy butterflies with sharp teeth. They could automatically search for targets and kill those White Feather or Raven members who wanted to escape with extreme precision, even without giving them time to beg for mercy, they were torn into dust.
The commoners were stunned by this scene. They stared blankly at the girl in front of them. With just a casual wave of her weapon, she could eliminate those seemingly invincible Raven members.
“So cool…”
And the little girl who had been hiding beside Su Jiu now realized how strong her doctor sister, who would give her food, was. She was enough to be an army by herself!
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, B-11 looked at her subordinates being slaughtered all around, and a look of fear appeared on her face. She shouted in shock, “You are an intermediate Battle King?!”
Her strength and speed were instantly crushed, so it was no wonder she doubted Su Jiu’s true strength. As B-11 questioned, Lina, held in Su Jiu’s hand, uttered a trembling low voice:
“Let… let… me go, I’ll tell… you the location of the feather.”
Su Jiu looked over, only to find Lina in her hands already crying tears, her rather beautiful face somewhat purple, her face full of pleading.
