Caspian’s grip was like an iron plier, and Charlotte instantly felt dizzy and virtual-novel.net vision blurry. Little by little, virtual-novel.net vitality was squeezed out of virtual-novel.net body. Soon, virtual-novel.net eyes were wide open, and virtual-novel.net tongue slowly came out of virtual-novel.net mouth. In the past ten years, the sweet princess probably never showed such a hideous and terrifying expression.
“Cas… Casper… It’s… Me…” However, Charlotte was not afraid. She still tried to awaken the consciousness that originally belonged to Caspian because virtual-novel.net could feel that it was not Caspian himself who stood in front of her.
It was someone else! Someone else was occupying Caspian’s figure!
Charlotte’s previous call seemed to have played a role, making the other party stand still and remain motionless for a period. Unfortunately, Charlotte seemed to have failed to awaken Caspian’s consciousness in the slightest. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net could even feel the other party exerting more force.
‘Am I… really going to die in this way…’
Just as Charlotte lost consciousness, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a rumble as if something broke. At the same time, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net body sway, and the ground seemed to be bumping up and down. Even Caspian’s hand on virtual-novel.net neck also loosened.
A large stream of air rushed into virtual-novel.net lungs, and Charlotte hurriedly took a few deep breaths. Soon, virtual-novel.net initially blurry vision regained clarity. The cool wind blew down from above, and Charlotte froze, looking up suspiciously. In an instant, virtual-novel.net saw a large hole was opened in the closed cave. Through the big hole, Charlotte could even see the clear night sky and twinkling stars.
A middle-aged burly chap with a full beard looked down. The man was very well-dressed, and virtual-novel.net looked like a prince at first glance, but Charlotte did not know him. Just when Charlotte wondered about the person’s identity, virtual-novel.net saw the little white pig on his shoulder poking its head into the cave.
‘It’s Casper’s pet pig!’ Charlotte’s breath suddenly quickened.
She remembered Caspian’s little white pig well as it could speak! When virtual-novel.net was in the imperial city before, virtual-novel.net was startled by it.
Recalling the two different voices virtual-novel.net heard before, Charlotte immediately understood that the little white pig led and arrived with reinforcements. Soon, Charlotte’s heart was greatly relaxed after being sure that it was not an enemy.
However, seeing the burly chap and the little white pig jumping down, Charlotte became anxious again as virtual-novel.net realized that the Caspian at the moment was not him. Charlotte wanted to warn the man and the pig, but Caspian’s hand was still firmly on virtual-novel.net neck, and virtual-novel.net could not make any sound. Even if virtual-novel.net wanted to struggle, virtual-novel.net body would not move. Hence, Charlotte could only hint at them with virtual-novel.net gaze.
Unfortunately, neither of them cast a single glance at her.
Handsome looked at Caspian, smiling smugly. “I told you this guy is here. Eh…”
Handsome’s snout twitched a few times, and the pig hurriedly turned around, catching sight of the corpse on the floor at first glance.
“Wow! That looks yummy!” The little white pig’s eyes shone brightly. Its four tiny hooves leaped, wanting to pounce at Kendrick’s corpse.
For Handsome, that was food. Even if it did not look appealing, it was still the corpse of a Holy Land Realm cultivator full of vitality. Moreover, Kendrick just died not long ago, and his spiritual Qi did not dissipate. Thus, the body was a great supplement. Besides, Caspian was found. Even though his posture was a little strange, virtual-novel.net was safe and sound. Since that was the case, Handsome naturally wanted to have a feast and celebrate. However, as soon as Handsome leaped over, the burly chap grabbed it by its tail, pulling the little white pig back.
“Hey hey! What are you doing?! Let me go!” The little white pig twisted and struggled desperately in the man’s hand.
The burly chap held its tail in one hand and lifted it upside down in the air, keeping his eyes on Caspian. He frowned as virtual-novel.net said, “Something’s wrong.”
“What’s wrong? I’ve been on the road for so long, and I’ve lost a lot of physical strength. It’s now the best time to consume some supplements. What’s wrong?” The little white pig struggled.
“Shut up! I’m referring to this guy!” The burly chap growled.
Handsome was more afraid of the burly chap. When it heard the other party’s stern tone, it stopped struggling and looked at Caspian.
“Eh? Princess Charlotte is here too?” Handsome exclaimed in surprise when virtual-novel.net took a look.
Charlotte was speechless. The little pig only noticed virtual-novel.net now?
“Casper, what are you trying to do to the princess? Even if virtual-novel.net wants to do something nasty to you, you shouldn’t kill her!” Handsome did not notice the problem, and it still tried to persuade him.
Charlotte was too stunned to speak.
“Can’t you pretend to faint, or are you not virtual-novel.net match?” Handsome babbled.
Charlotte was dumbfounded. If the little white pig still could not see the truth of the problem clearly, virtual-novel.net would be strangled to death!
Handsome arched its snout, and the little white pig’s talkativeness was undoubtedly revealed. Then, just as it wanted to say something else, the burly chap waved his hand and interrupted it.
Charlotte immediately gave the burly chap a grateful look.
“He’s not the Casper you mentioned,” the burly chap said coldly.
“How can that be? That’s what virtual-novel.net looks like? Even if virtual-novel.net turns to ashes, I can still smell him.” Handsome sniffed hard in confusion. It trusted the burly chap, but it was also unwilling to reverse its judgment.
Suddenly, Handsome stopped sniffing, glanced straight at Caspian, turned into a white light, and hid behind the burly chap. Then, the white pig asked, “Who’s this guy?”
“An Abomination from hell. Hah! It occupied this body How interesting.” The burly chap snorted and stretched his hands. In an instant, a daunting sound came from the knuckles of his fingers.
Caspian also seemed to have noticed the other party’s extraordinariness, and virtual-novel.net released Charlotte, turning to look at the burly chap.
The burly chap and the peeping little white pig immediately saw the Gate of Death’s pattern on Caspian’s chest. They could feel the terrifying aura emanating from the pattern clearer than ordinary people.
After Charlotte fell to the ground, virtual-novel.net quickly moved back, rubbed virtual-novel.net neck, and hurriedly said, “That’s the Gate of Death. The evil cultivator did something to Casper, and his consciousness seems to be controlled!”
“The Gate of Death?” The burly chap seemed to have heard it before. Then, virtual-novel.net bared his teeth and spat, “He’d surely summoned an impressive being.”
“What do you mean?” Handsome quickly asked.
“It means…” The burly chap waved his arm, and with a buzzing sound, a pale pink transparent sphere suddenly appeared in the void, containing both Handsome and Charlotte. Then, virtual-novel.net squinted at Caspian, uttering slowly, “What a coincidence that I overate for dinner, and it’s a perfect chance to digest them.”
