Chapter 102 A Piece of Meat on the Bone

As the night deepened, the only light left in the world was the scattering of stars across the sky. The place was so eerily unsettling, filled with dangers that were impossible to predict. After running for over ten minutes, Sui Yi, just about to leave the dense forest behind, turned back.

Half an hour later, she found a spot beneath a cliff next to the forest. In front of the cliff flowed a small stream, a branch of an oasis, shimmering in the light. She sat down leaning against the rock wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.

She knew that the Clan Leader had shown her mercy once, probably because she had held back twice before. If that was the case, when he returned, he would at least not treat Gong Jiu and the others too harshly. But letting him mock the sacrificial ritual was absolutely impossible.
