As Xia Hongyao spoke, the oppressive feeling of death imdiately descended upon them, making everyone feel as if an invisible noose had tightened around their necks.
It was tightening, yet they were powerless to stop it.
The copper blot was spreading rapidly.
Gu Qingqiu pinched hard and found that this patch of skin had completely lost sensation, and there was also a feeling of stiffness and numbness.
"We don’t have to wait for the copper blot to spread all over the body; once it spreads to the legs, we should be unable to move!"
San Miyairi also noticed this detail.
The location where the first copper blot appeared on everyone was different, and the speed of spreading varied.
Obviously, with a strong physique, one could hold on for a bit longer, but that’s all it would be, just a bit longer.
"Kill these dancing girls?"
Chestnut dal stared viciously at the dancing girls, wishing he could tear them to pieces imdiately.
"It shouldn’t be that simple!"
Wang Helin thought Chestnut dal was a bit naive. This was likely the last rule pollution of the Victorious Night Banquet, how could it be easily purified?
"Do you think those Golden Armor Guards are vegetarians?"
San Miyairi sneered.
The king was gone, but those guards remained, each one eyeing them nacingly.
"Then what do you suggest?"
Chestnut dal complained irritably, "We can’t just sit and wait for death, right?"
Swish!
Everyone instinctively looked at Lin Baici, waiting for a plan.
Lin Baici didn’t know either, but her glance road over those beautiful dancing girls, trying to find the palace maid who had secretly helped her.
She might know the key to purification.
Ninety-nine dancing girls, with similar proud figures, identical costus and hairstyles, trying to find an unfamiliar face among so many was really difficult.
"God Lin, make a decision!"
Chestnut dal urged.
Lin Baici ignored him, her gaze fell on the lead dancer.
The ninety-nine dancing girls ford seven concentric circles, with a woman standing in the center, flicking her flowing sleeves and dancing gracefully.
This scene, arranged like a blooming peony, then as the dancing girls spread out, the group of flowers wilted.
The graceful figures of these dancing girls wandered through the hall, bringing with them a sense of flowers drifting, water flowing.
Then they moved over to Lin Baici’s group.
"What’s going to happen? Are they going to drag us into the dance?"
"If we dance this dance, we’ll surely die!"
"God Lin, think of sothing quickly!"
The amateur mob was panicking.
Because of her outstanding performance in the hall, Lin Baici was targeted by several dancing girls.
They surrounded her, swaying their slim waists, their breath like orchids, doing everything to provoke her.
Everyone around them, including Gu Qingqiu, had more or less dancing girls with them.
Swish!
A fair finger brushed against Lin Baici’s chin, and another dancing girl leaned into her embrace.
Just as Lin Baici planned to push them away, the lead dancer ca over, flicking her flowing sleeves, with a series of slaps, chased the other dancing girls away.
The lead dancer’s strength wasn’t great, but this action indicated that this man was favored by the Great Dancer, and other dancing girls could only retreat.
Everywhere has its rules, even in God’s ruins, these creatures abide by their own set of living principles.
The lead dancer’s position in the Royal Palace was higher, and ordinary dancing girls naturally dared not offend her.
"..."
Everyone watching the scene of the dancing girls vying for Lin Baici wasn’t sure whether to envy her for her luck with won or laugh at her misfortune.
Because even thinking with their knees, everyone knew that the rule pollution brought by the lead dancer was certainly more terrifying than that of an ordinary dancing girl.
Lin Baici showed no surprise and casually wrapped an arm around the lead dancer’s waist.
At such a close distance, the creepy aura emitted from the wood-like Nuo Mask on the lead dancer’s face was even more penetrating.
The lead dancer pressed a plain hand onto Lin Baici’s chest and pushed hard, pushing her away, then, without waiting for Lin Baici to walk far, flicked a water sleeve to coil around her neck, pulling her away.
"Oppa!"
"Xiao Bai!"
Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu had been watching Lin Baici, worried for her, but soon they couldn’t focus on her as dancing girls approached them too.
At this mont, everyone was targeted, this was perilous for all.
A wooden rod wrapped in bronze strikes a chi bell, producing a lodious sound, making one feel they are participating in a grand ritual.
To console heaven and earth! To worship the ancestors!
When the ritual ends, Lin Baici and the others, the ’three sacrifices’, would be ’eaten’, forever transforming into terracotta figures.
Lin Baici pretended to be an infatuated fool, inching closer to the dancing girl in front of her, then whispered a question.
"Sister, it’s you, isn’t it?"
The dancing girl didn’t respond.
Lin Baici paused slightly, unsure of what to say.
Asking for help at this mont was truly shaless, because from past experiences, for her to help a human like him, she must have taken an enormous risk.
If discovered, she might be executed.
"We’ll probably have to break out soon; those people are strong, you should stay far away and avoid getting accidentally hurt!"
Lin Baici reminded.
The dancing girl looked up, gazing at Lin Baici.
"Thank you, sister, for before!"
Lin Baici smiled brightly.
"You won’t be able to escape!"
The dancing girl sighed, "This is the Royal Palace, heavily guarded!"
"Even if by chance you break out, you’ll face the pursuit of tens of thousands of cavalry, and you won’t be able to find a way out."
The ’way out’ here clearly referred to getting out of God’s ruins.
And there was one thing the dancing girl left unsaid, once you leave this hall, you will imdiately turn into a bronze terracotta figure.
