Chapter 608 Another Death
In the Forbidden Spirit Formation, after Jiang Chen and others had eaten and drank, they went aside to solve their own physical problems.
After resting like this for an hour, it was completely dark.
At a certain moment, Xun Siyuan suddenly spoke.
"Everyone, if everyone is almost rested, let's go?!"
"good!"
Naturally, no one would object to Xun Siyuan's proposal. Several people packed their backpacks and prepared to continue on their way.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly came from beside them.
Several people quickly turned around and saw that Zuo Pengxing fell to the ground for unknown reasons and was twitching non-stop.
"Junior Brother Zuo?!"
Seeing this, Jiang Chen and others put down their backpacks and immediately gathered around.
Jiang Chen and others came closer and found that Zuo Pengxing was curled up on the ground. His posture looked somewhat similar to Luo Zheng and the three white bones.
At this time, Zuo Pengxing was clutching the clothes on his chest with both hands, his face full of pain.
Seeing Jiang Chen and others approaching, Zuo Pengxing's eyes suddenly lit up, and a strong desire to survive suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
Zuo Pengxing stretched out a hand to Jiang Chen and others with difficulty. He tried hard to open his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out at all.
When Xun Siyuan saw this, he immediately knelt down and helped Zuo Pengxing sit up without hesitation.
Xun Siyuan patted Zuo Pengxing's cheek and asked with concern: "Junior Brother Zuo, what's wrong with you?"
However, Zuo Pengxing was never able to utter a single word in response to Xun Siyuan's inquiry.
"Senior Brother Xun, I'm afraid he is dying?!" Li Wen said softly.
Xun Siyuan naturally could see that Zuo Pengxing was in bad condition at this time, but he didn't want to give up just like that. He reached out and put Zuo Pengxing back on the ground, and then hurriedly ran back to rummage through his backpack.
In his backpack he carries various healing talismans.
After a lot of fussing, Xun Siyuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his backpack. He immediately grabbed the porcelain bottle and ran towards Zuo Pengxing with a face full of joy.
But when he came to Zuo Pengxing, he froze there, looking at Zuo Pengxing who was lying motionless on the ground with complicated eyes.
At this time, Zuo Pengxing had completely lost his voice, and there was only endless pain and fear before death in his eyes.
Jiang Chen stepped in front of Xun Siyuan, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder gently, comforting him.
"Senior Brother Xun, Senior Brother Zuo has left. His death was not your fault, and he died so quickly and strangely that we had no time to save him, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."
"We were all mentally prepared before coming here. Although we don't want to see this scene, we should all be more open-minded."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Li Wen also continued.
"Yes, Senior Brother Xun. Let's bury Junior Brother Zuo first."
Faced with Jiang Chen and Li Wen's persuasion, Xun Siyuan just nodded lightly.
Xun Siyuan, who is already middle-aged and has been involved in the metaphysical world for decades, is there anything he still can't figure out? He is just full of respect and awe for life.
Xun Siyuan quickly adjusted his emotions. Just as he was about to speak, someone spoke up before him, and what he said made the expressions of everyone present change.
"I say, you two, stop being pretentious here. Zuo Pengxing was killed by you, right?"
As soon as these words came out, both Jiang Chen and Li Wen, as well as the sad-looking Xun Siyuan, all looked shocked.
Jiang Chen and the others immediately followed the sound and discovered that the speaker was none other than the Xuan-level senior warlock named Jin Anxiang in the team.
"What do you mean?" Li Wen asked with an unhappy expression.
"Haha~" Jin Anxiang sneered and said, "I said Zuo Pengxing was killed by you two."
He pointed at Zuo Pengxing's body on the ground and continued.
"We can all see that there were no wounds on Zuo Pengxing's body, and his death was so strange."
"We all saw his previous state. When he first fell down, he kept covering his stomach with his hands."
"So I guess that he is probably poisoned, and he just ate the food you gave him not long ago."
Jin Anxiang had a sneer on his face, and the words he said made Xun Siyuan and the other warlock named Di Xing change their expressions.
Several people looked at Zuo Pengxing's body on the ground and saw one of his hands reaching towards Jiang Chen and others, while the other hand was tightly covering his stomach.
"Senior Brother Xun, I felt that there was something wrong with these two people in the stone chamber from the very beginning. I guessed that they must have wanted to harm us on the way and then seize the magical weapons from us."
Jin Anxiang looked at Xun Siyuan and continued in a calm tone: "I even suspect that Luo Zheng's death had something to do with them."
"Senior Brother Xun, I think we should take down these two first, lest they attack us again later."
Jin Anxiang kept his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen and Li Wen, holding a talisman tightly in his hand.
On the other side, Di Xing also took out the talisman from his body, staring at Jiang Chen and Li Wen with the same eyes. At the same time, he also moved slightly, vaguely blocking their retreat.
Jiang Chen turned his head and glanced at Jin Anxiang and Di Xing. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly but he didn't say anything. He just turned to look at Xun Siyuan beside him.
"You said we harmed Zuo Pengxing, so you have to have some evidence, right?" Li Wen retorted, "You said Zuo Pengxing died of poisoning after eating our food, so how come we're okay after we also ate the food?"
"Haha~" Jin Anxiang sneered again and said, "You are not fools, how could you poison your own food?"
"You must have marked the poisonous food before, and then gave the marked food to others."
"Otherwise, how to explain Zuo Pengxing's behavior of holding his stomach before he died? How to explain his sudden death just after eating the food you gave him?"
Facing Jin Anxiang's inquiry, Xun Siyuan spoke first before Li Wen could speak.
I saw him gently waving his hand to Jin Anxiang and saying.
"Junior Brother Jin, I think you must have misunderstood. How could these two junior brothers do such a thing?"
"Brother Xun, you must be on guard against others!" Jin Anxiang said, "These two people were the last to join us, and there was a charred corpse in front of them at that time; now Zuo Pengxing died suddenly after eating the food they gave him.
Yeah, there seems to be something wrong with these two people, right?"
After Jin Anxiang finished speaking, Di Xing on the other side also said immediately.
"Senior Brother Xun and Senior Brother Jin are right. There must be something wrong with these two people. I also think we should control them first."
