639 Chapter 639 "First Victim"

The creature was faster than her and in the next second...the creature touched Zhan Jiouli with its tiny little hand that finally could be seen by the others.

SRINGGG…

A blinding golden light suddenly shone from Zhan Jiouli's body, and the man suddenly opened his mouth wide as if screaming in great pain. His face went pale and he shut his eyes tight unable to bear the pain any longer.

'What happened?!' Li Shi Ying went into a panic when she saw Zhan Jiouli in immense pain. His body, starting from his hair, suddenly turned into gold in a mere second, alarming everyone else.

!!

'That's the gold fairy?!' Xie Mei holds Zhan Jiouli's body tightly as she watched how Zhan Jiouli body slowly turned into solid gold. The man couldn't move his body any longer as he turned into a golden statue completely from his head to his toes in mere minutes.

'Zhan Jiouli!!' Li Shi Ying's heart stopped beating when she saw a life-size golden statue right in front of her. She didn't believe that the gold fairy existed, but seeing an impossible thing happen in front of her eyes, Zhan Jiouli turned into a golden statue alive…

How could she not believe it?!

'How come the fairy got inside the array?!' Jiao Cong Ming trembled as he looked around, trying to find the gold fairy's whereabouts. It's strange how the fairy suddenly disappeared right after turning Zhan Jiouli into a golden statue.

Not to mention that they were still inside the array he made, how come the fairy managed to get inside?! His array worked perfectly fine! He didn't see any hole on it so how?!

'Calm down.' Li Shi Ying gritted her teeth as she tried to calm down the other two. She herself was shocked and scared, but if she as the leader also went into panic...they would be done for.

'What should we do?! Zhan Jiouli...is he dead?' Xie Mei didn't like Li Shi Ying, but in this situation, she desperately asked Li Shi Ying with tears rolling down from her eyes.

They were still swimming in the spot while musing over Zhan Jiouli's case. Xie Mei didn't let go of Zhan Jiouli even though it was super damn heavy just to hold him. She couldn't let Zhan Jiouli's body go, or else he would drop to the bottom of the lake and be left there as a golden statue forever.

'I…' Li Shi Ying got a cold sweat when Xie Mei looked at her with hope in her eyes. It was obvious that Xie Mei relied on her now that Zhan Jiouli turned into a living golden statue.

She didn't know what to do or what to say!

Was Zhan Jiouli still alive? She didn't know. She couldn't be sure that he was dead either. What should they do? She didn't know anything! The one that knew about this gold fairy thing was only Wei Zhuang, yet the man wasn't here at the moment.

What can she do? Nothing!

Their parents often visited each other's houses when she was still a child and so it would be impossible for her to not feel anything toward Zhan Jiouli. She only thought of him as a precious childhood friend before but now…

She realized she had more feelings than just a friend to Zhan Jiouli. No. She couldn't let Zhan Jiouli stay like this forever! There must be a way!

'Calm down! Don't assume that he is already dead.' Li Shi Ying grabbed Xie Mei's shoulder as she glared at her. If they all went into panic, they would be in danger instead. The tournament was still going on, they couldn't just give up on it now.

'T-then what should we do?' Xie Mei calmed down a bit seeing Li Shi Ying's clear, unwavering eyes. She herself was scared silly that Zhan Jiouli turned into gold right in front of her eyes. Li Shi Ying also must feel scared, but it was admirable how she hid her feelings so her teammates wouldn't get too worried.

'What we can do now is to stay here and wait for Long Ao Zhen's team to come back. Jiao Cong Ming, keep an eye on our surroundings. I will help Xie Mei to hold Zhan Jiouli's body.' Li Shi Ying kicked Jiao Cong Ming on his butt as she pointed her two fingers to her eyes and moved it to her surroundings.

She signalled Jiao Cong Ming that he had to keep an eye on his surroundings in case the gold fairy came back, or they got a sudden attack from beasts and other teams.

'Okay.' Jiao Cong Ming was still trembling in fear, but he shut his mouth while trying to not piss his pants or cry. It would be embarrassing.

Xie Mei nodded her head as she helped Li Shi Ying so the girl could hold Zhan Jiouli's leg for her. This way she could save her energy in case they had to fight.

All they could do now was to wait!
