Chapter 3575: 4.1175 No Mercy for a Pretty Flower

A "whoosh" sound filled the air as the Bone-Piercing Nail shot out from his fingertips. It disappeared into the depths of the long stone wall.

After a startled "Ah!" a woman's faint, pained cries also vanished.

Prince Mo casually tossed out a mechanical figure, picked up a dark stick, and poked the shoulder of the mechanical figure in front.

"Go, Two, scout ahead."

The mechanical figure, named Two, was a bit clumsy. Upon hearing Prince Mo's command, it walked forward with somewhat uncoordinated steps, treading on the uneven rocks where a thin stream flowed, sometimes high-stepping, sometimes low-stepping.

Prince Mo followed behind Two, taking a winter fruit from his internal space and biting into it. He had to admit, after a day of exertion, his stomach was empty, and even Mo Lian was feeling a bit hungry.

He quickly ate two or three winter fruits to fill his stomach, then followed the mechanical figure Two to a bend in the passage ahead. This long underground passage, apart from the stone walls, only had rough, uneven rocks underfoot. Groundwater seeped out from between the rocks, so they were constantly walking through water. Fortunately, his boots had thick soles, otherwise, they would have been soaked by now.

Prince Mo collected crystal cores along the way, filling more than half of a blank violet storage talisman. There would be more than enough crystal cores for future medicinal power enhancements.

He was thinking this when he slowly came to a halt.

The mechanical figure Two stood awkwardly in front. Without Mo Lian's command, it didn't move, just stood there foolishly like a wooden dummy. From where it stood, a few drops of fresh blood were visible on the ground, not yet completely moistened by the trickling stream.

The water flowing down the stone wall formed a natural small water curtain, behind which was likely a small stone cave. The view was obstructed by the water curtain, making it appear pitch black when trying to look inside.

Mo Lian didn't intend to risk himself. Instead, he poked the mechanical figure's waist with the small black stick. "Go in and see who's playing tricks in there."

The mechanical figure took large strides and entered. Not long after, a woman's scream rang out.

Mo Lian frowned, stepping back two paces.

After a short while, the mechanical figure Two emerged from the small stone cave, carrying a disheveled woman.

"Ah! Ah!" The woman's screams suddenly stopped, replaced by a tone of surprise, and she shrieked, "Your Highness, Your Highness!!"

Mo Lian glanced at the disheveled woman, whose original appearance was obscured, and had no idea who she was. However, Prince Mo recognized the Bone-Piercing Nail stuck in the woman's left shoulder.

It was Duan Yue's famous technique: a single Bone-Piercing Nail could cause severe injury and incapacitation for half a month.

Oh, so the Bone-Piercing Nail just now hit this woman.

Prince Mo felt no guilt whatsoever. He barked at the mechanical figure Two, "Throw her away, let's go."

Don't pick up any trash for him!

He was currently trying to find his way back and didn't have time to bother with random people.

"Your, Your Highness! Your Highness!!" The woman, thrown to the ground by the mechanical figure, suddenly began to crawl, scrambling towards Mo Lian's feet.

Her hands hadn't even reached Mo Lian's leg when His Highness suddenly kicked her chin.

This was truly tragic. After a faint "crack" sound, the woman let out a wail, covering her face, in too much pain to speak.
