Josh thought for a mont, turned and raised his hand, knocking Mina unconscious beside him.
Jiang Can looked at her in confusion.
Josh synchronized the clues gathered on her side to Jiang Can: "This is all I’ve found for now, what about you?"
Jiang Can looked at her in surprise: "So, you really are Josh?"
"..." Josh’s mouth twitched slightly, pointing to the pig head mark on her forehead: "The one with this mark is a real ally. Rob also has one on his forehead. The only one left is Yushi without a mark, be careful when you see him."
Jiang Can nodded: "That guy probably has the most clues, right? His attributes are best suited for this kind of exploration."
Josh stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Can was initially stunned, then scratched his head: "? Nothing’s wrong."
Josh suspiciously glanced at him: "Why do I feel sothing’s odd about you?"
Jiang Can’s eyes flickered slightly, and he forced a smile: "It’s nothing, um... I’ll give you this item."
He handed a small card to Josh.
Josh took the card: "What is this?"
Jiang Can said: "This is a defensive item I found while exploring the castle, keep it with you, it’s highly defensive and can effectively weaken the monsters’ attacks on you. My defense attributes are already quite high, you need this more than I do."
Josh didn’t refuse: "Thanks."
Jiang Can looked at her complexly again: "Have you had any nightmares while sleeping at night?"
"Nightmares?" Josh was about to shake his head: "No, I’ve had a fever these past few days, sleeping quite soundly."
Hearing this, Jiang Can didn’t say anything further: "Alright, then I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion sounded around, accompanied by the intense shaking of the entire ancient castle.
Jiang Can flashed twice and disappeared before her eyes.
It must be that the tilines of the two different lines diverged again, but this explosion...
Josh frowned slightly, looking towards the direction upstairs, Mina was still unconscious, leaving her behind didn’t seem right.
With her luck, encountering ten or eight monsters while unconscious was normal.
Josh bent down, casually slung the person over her shoulder, and ran upstairs.
The sound was coming from the direction of the study on the fourth floor.
Josh ran towards the study direction, but was knocked down by soone rushing out head-on, and soon stabilized by being pulled.
"Captain?" Josh was surprised when she saw the person, it was rare to see Yuze in such a sorry state.
His bun was crooked, there was so dust on his nose, and he had two scratch marks on his shoulder.
Yuze, upon seeing her, looked grim: "Don’t go near the study!"
Josh was about to say sothing when Yuze’s steps suddenly halted, and the murderous aura inside suddenly receded and disappeared.
What’s going on?
Yuze’s dark eyes road over the study and settled on Josh, suddenly having an absurd speculation in his heart.
He walked over: "What’s that on your shoulder?"
Josh put the person down: "Soone I ran into on the way, Mina from another team."
Yuze raised his hand and ruffled her hair: "Why do you pick up everything? Isn’t it tiring carrying this thing?"
Josh felt his attitude was a bit off: "I just... happened to."
Yuze touched her forehead again, nodding in satisfaction: "Your fever’s gone, that’s good. Seems like you’ve had a good rest."
Josh didn’t mind and simply said: "I just saw Rob and Jiang Can, have you marked both of them?"
Yuze nodded: "Only Yushi is left. But as for him, there’s no need to worry, nothing should happen."
Josh thought about it and realized that even without the ability to use spiritual power and Spiritual Bodies, Yushi’s peculiar buff would easily be overlooked, as long as he didn’t want to be noticed, no one could.
She was about to share the clues gathered from other teammates with Yuze when the person in front of her suddenly vanished.
Elsewhere.
Yuze’s gaze turned cold upon seeing the sudden disappearance of Josh.
He turned towards the study, "Do you think this will work?"
The study door exploded with a bang, and a strong suction poured in.
The oil paintings on the surrounding walls and the carpets on the floor were sucked in.
The study door had now turned into a gigantic black hole, endlessly devouring things.
Yuze stared coldly at the black hole: "Think you can get close to her this way? Dream on!"
As soon as Josh appeared, the monster had retracted its killing intent.
Several tis when he t Josh in the courtyard, he could vaguely feel the hostility from the attic on the fourth floor.
He deliberately got closer to Josh just now, and sure enough, sensed the monster’s hostility increase.
This monster was eyeing Josh.
The monster inside seed to be infuriated, a mass of black smoke rushed out, fiercely grabbing Yuze’s neck, pinning him against the wall: "She is mine! She will stay here forever, accompanying !"
Yuze looked him up and down with disdain: "Just you, a monster?"
The monster tightened its grip on his hand.
Yuze raised his hand to counterattack, and in a very tricky position, broke free from his restraint, kicking the monster away.
After a flip, the monster was pinned underneath Yuze, the two figures engaged in a tit-for-tat, exchanging punches and kicks.
With their collision, the surrounding walls also started shaking intensely.
The powerful energy emitted during their fight almost threatened to shatter the entire castle.
Yuze wasn’t done yet, relentlessly beating the monster without regard for his own wounds, punch after punch.
The monster counterattacked without backing down.
Both their bodies were nearly devoid of any intact places.
Yuze’s shoulder bone jutted out abnormally, looking like it had been violently twisted and broken out.
The monster’s abdon also had several ribs broken, not in much better condition.
The monster looked at him with blood-red eyes: "She’s mine. Do you know how many years I’ve waited for her here?"
Yuze was barely conscious, his gaze unfocused, hands weakly hanging beside him, his awareness gradually fading.
The monster disdainfully sneered at his pathetic state, coldly saying: "I’ve been waiting for her since I existed in this world, who are you? Just happened to be lucky to know her along the way, how do you have the right to monopolize her?"
Yuze slowly raised his hand, weakly giving him the middle finger.
The monster forcefully choked his neck: "If you take her away, one day you’ll end up getting her killed, only staying here can she live on, you’re nothing but a useless fool anyway."
Yuze feebly asked: "Why..."
The monster laughed coldly: "You’ve been tracking for so long just to know why I’m different with Josh, haven’t you? Unfortunately, you’ll never know."
Constantly tightening his grip on Yuze’s throat, intending to let him die understanding: "Because..."
Before finishing his sentence, his throat was choked by soone.
A divine light flashed in his mind, sealing his mouth.
Seeing that he couldn’t extract any words, Yuze couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore, flipping himself up and seizing the monster’s throat in return, fiercely slamming him against the wall.
While gripping the monster’s throat, his slender, powerful hand’s veins were faintly visible.
With a "crack," Yuze expressionlessly snapped the monster’s neck, casually as if slicing a cabbage.
The monster stared at him in astonishnt, his entire expression petrified.
