Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 171: Fighting with All Might, Ultimately Heading Towards a Doomed Ending

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Fighting with All Might, Ultimately Heading Towards a Doomed Ending

"You’ve just recovered, can you say something auspicious for once?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted.

"I’m not dead?" Xuan Jiu touched his own clothing where the bloodstains had dried, his eyes suspicious.

The blood hole in the clothes was pierced by himself.

He made this choice in despair, dug out the Star Stone, and threw it to the Terminal.

But his Star Stone was absorbed by the Terminal, so why wasn’t he dead?

"You’re alive and well right now." Xiao Jinsheng waved his hand in front of his eyes, drawing Xuan Jiu’s gaze over.

Xuan Jiu reached out and cupped her cheeks, leaning closer.

The others who had been vigilantly surrounding them instantly became agitated.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Yu Yunxiao flared up, slapping at Xuan Jiu’s hand that was pinching Xiao Jinsheng’s cheek: "Get your filthy paws off her!"

Xuan Jiu ignored Yu Yunxiao and looked at Xiao Jinsheng with delight: "I’m really still alive!"

"Let go of her." Chen Yunji warned coldly from the side: "Have you no manners!"

"I was just too excited." Xuan Jiu laughed sheepishly, withdrawing his hand, and awkwardly smiled at Xiao Jinsheng: "I just wanted to see if this is an illusion or a dream, or if I’m really alive."

"Wanting to prove whether you’re dead or alive isn’t a reason to be handsy with her." Su Ye said in a deep voice, demonstrating his exceptional action skills, twisting Xuan Jiu’s hand.

"Oww—" A painful scream shook the snow from the trees around them.

Xuan Jiu shivered and looked at Xiao Jinsheng in horror: "Your... your Beast Husband is so violent?"

Li sneered: "Why not pinch your own face to check if it’s an illusion? Is it because you don’t want to?"

Mo Jiao chimed in sarcastically: "Probably because he has no face."

Shi Xie sighed, his concerned gaze falling on Xiao Jinsheng: "How is it, does your face hurt? Are you injured?"

"I just gently touched it." Xuan Jiu said in shock, trying to defend himself.

"The ground is cold, don’t sit on it." Que Zelian reached over and directly lifted Xiao Jinsheng from next to Xuan Jiu.

"Don’t go, let’s chat a bit more." Xuan Jiu called out to Xiao Jinsheng who was being carried away.

Huaiqing stepped over to block Xuan Jiu’s view of Xiao Jinsheng, smiling politely: "Mr. Xuan, we’re all very worried about you."

"Tha...thank you." Xuan Jiu looked up, seeing the seven Beast Husbands of Xiao Jinsheng casting hostile glances at him.

And then he realized.

These seven people were very wary of him approaching Xiao Jinsheng.

But when Chen Yunji approached Xiao Jinsheng, they showed no reaction at all.

As Li’s Domain unfolded, Xuan Jiu sighed: "This Domain, whether opened or not, seems just the same."

"The Terminal has made a move." Xuan Jiu looked nervously at Xiao Jinsheng and the others: "What about you, why did you suddenly return to Cloud Island, did the Terminal capture you?"

"Huaiqing’s prophecy." Chen Yunji answered, his tone suppressed with anger: "You long ago mind-read Huaiqing’s prophecy, didn’t you?"

Xuan Jiu shook his head: "No, no, no, what mind reading, I don’t have that ability, don’t accuse me."

"Mind Reading Puppet is your superpower." Chen Yunji said angrily.

But as soon as he said those words, he noticed that Xuan Jiu no longer had any superpowers, the rest of his words swallowed in bitterness, unable to be spoken.

Xuan Jiu said: "The Terminal knows everything."

"You should give up."

Xuan Jiu seemed to compromise, but still tried to persuade Xiao Jinsheng and his group.

"It’s just that the Star Stone was consumed, if I could trade powers and strength for the chance to live like I did, I think it’s pretty good."

"That’s a good point." A voice suddenly rang out from nowhere.

Everyone was shocked, and Xuan Jiu jumped up, standing in the front in defense.

A humanoid silhouette made of black mist appeared within the Domain.

"What is that thing?" Yu Yunxiao exclaimed in horror.

"It’s the Terminal." Xuan Jiu said heavily.

Seeing the faceless shadow with only a humanoid form before him, Xiao Jinsheng recalled the figure he had seen in the black mist when he came to the Snow Peak at the Snow Cliff Ice Sea.

"I didn’t expect the humans I’ve been protecting to dare think of resisting me." The Terminal mocked.

"Is it protection or rearing us until we’re ripe for eating, you know it in your heart." Xiao Jinsheng replied seriously.

"Heh." The Terminal scoffed: "You all live your lives peacefully, and ultimately walk towards death, becoming my food, is there a problem with that?"

"Female." The Terminal’s pitch-black gaze fell upon Xiao Jinsheng, speaking in a cold, low voice: "I will always give you the highest authority in this world."

"But what do you repay me with?"

"Do you want to resist me? Want to destroy me? Want to replace me?"

"Sure, if you want to play, I’m willing to give you time."

"Now, I will declare your death date—five months from now."

"Do your best, I’m looking forward to seeing you struggle with all your might, only to walk towards death, and meet the day of failure, despair, and suffering."

The Terminal grinned maliciously: "That will be... a delicious treat."

The black mist whirled around everyone, flinging them into the air, first chaotically shaking them about, then hurling them heavily onto the ground.

Que Zelian waved his hand, and the gathered clouds safely carried the falling people to the ground.

Standing steadily, Xiao Jinsheng looked up and found himself back at the small villa in the Mist East.

"It did it on purpose, didn’t it?" Yu Yunxiao said through gritted teeth.

The Terminal didn’t directly attack and kill them, but instead transported them back and used a method that could easily get them killed.

No one would believe it wasn’t intentional.

"It’s toying with emotions." Huaiqing concluded.

The Terminal is not human, its thinking cannot be understood with human logic.

The Terminal feeds on emotions.

Whether the emotions of people on the Mist Continent are good or bad, as long as a certain emotion reaches its peak, it is a delicacy to the Terminal.

"But..." Mo Jiao hesitated, his gaze falling on Xuan Jiu and Chen Yunji: "According to the Terminal’s past behavior, those who discover the Mist Continent’s secret are either killed or confined on Cloud Island, forbidden to contact other survivors."

"So why did it change its mind this time?"

Could it really just be because the Terminal wants to see their despair after failure?

But adding them all up, excluding Xuan Jiu, there are only nine people.

Even with the despair of nine people, how many meals can that provide the Terminal?

For the Terminal to release them like this, doesn’t it fear they might recklessly expose the secret of the Mist Continent to others?

Mo Jiao, naturally suspicious, couldn’t help but think more.

"The Terminal knows about us, but does it also know about Bai Yan?" Xiao Jinsheng suddenly realized.

Since the conversations they had in Li’s Domain were known by the Terminal.

Then does the Terminal also know that I can mind read Bai Yan? Or did it give me the Mind Reading ability?

Or maybe the Terminal is also aware of the matter concerning Bai Yan and the Insect Brain?

Just as this suspicion arose in Xiao Jinsheng’s mind, simultaneously the Terminal unlocked the Universe’s hidden coordinates on the Mist Continent.

Its black mist transformed into a claw, grabbing the phantom belonging to the Insect Brain again, taking a few bites before reluctantly releasing it.

The black tongue licked the Insect Brain’s body, and the Terminal spoke with anticipation: "Delicious snack, bring more."
