Chapter 945: The Second Trial
Death soldiers didn’t need to speak, they only had to swing their swords to carry out any and every command from their master. Even if they were facing a bottomless cliff, if their master said to jump, they would jump without hesitation.
Ning Shu carefully considered this task. If she had transmigrated into the emperor’s body instead, she could directly give the throne to the third prince. Once the third prince was emperor, he would be able to easily summon Shangguan Qingrou to enter the palace.
This entire situation was also due to how much the third prince liked courting death. In plain terms, people only suffered when they couldn’t satisfy their desires. If their desires were satisfied, then they’d just be bored.
Ning Shu analyzed Eleven’s wish. She didn’t want her master to die. This meant that she had to change the third prince’s fate of execution by poisoned wine. As for whether the third prince would become emperor or not, that had nothing to do with her.
However, if the third prince didn’t become emperor, he’d end up killed. His hobby of courting disaster with all his might in particular and trying to kill the female lead by every possible means definitely wouldn’t let him off unscathed.
Actually, the third prince probably counted as a trashy ex-boyfriend character.
It wasn’t that he didn’t love, but that he loved insanely much.
Having a master like this was so tiring.
Forget it, she’ll just plan things as she went.
Ning Shu sat down in the iron cage and started practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. Since she was a death soldier, the stronger her martial arts, the better. That way, she’d have a greater chance at survival in this job where she had to be prepared to die at any moment.
Ning Shu didn’t want to die in the task. If she failed the task, she’d be exterminated.
Fortunately, there was quite a lot of spirit energy in this world so practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts went quite well.
There was the sound of a heavy stone door opening. Ning Shu stopped practicing and stood up.
The scarred man from earlier walked in. Ning Shu knew now that he was the head of this training grounds with the codename One. He had carried out a lot of missions before.
“You’ll be starting your next mission now.” One was very cold and indifferent towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu nodded, then followed him out the stone door. He then pushed open another stone door.
“Go inside. This is your second task. You must kill all of the prey inside.” One pushed Ning Shu in, then closed the stone door.
The moment Ning Shu walked in, she smelled a nauseating fishiness. The room was filled with the sound of snakes hissing.
She looked around. There were so many snakes! These snakes were wound around each other and slithering around nonstop.
Ning Shu felt goosebumps rise over her entire body.
Fudge, these were the most disgusting things possible. Furthermore, these snakes all had very vibrant scales. They were all poisonous.
In reality, One wanted to kill her, didn’t he? How was she supposed to kill this many snakes?
Ning Shu hacked the snake that was slithering towards her in half, but there were countless more snakes slithering towards her. She revolved her energy and stomped on the wall to scale it. After a few steps, she finally found a place without snakes.
Right now, she not only had to kill all of these snakes, she also had to avoid getting bitten by these snakes.
She was starting to regret not having exchanged for realgar powder. Next time, she had to get realgar powder.
Ning Shu continued to behead the snakes. The snakes that had been sliced in half kept writhing on the ground, but in the end they still died.
The smell in the stone room got even worse. The fishy smell from the snakes mixed with the sticky stench of blood. It was suffocating.
Ning Shu looked at the endless mass of snakes. She had no idea when she would be able to finish killing them.
One had been waiting at the door for Ning Shu to complete the task. After a very long time, he pushed open the door, just in time to see Ning Shu kill the last snake.
