Chapter 568

Time passed gradually.

On this day.

After wandering around Dark Shadow Island for a while, Jiang Zhi suddenly heard a sound coming from the sky.

Her gaze changed, and she hurriedly went towards the altar.

She saw a person walk out of the cage on the altar.

He was barely alive, covered in wounds.

Jiang Zhi rushed up to the altar, disregarding the backlash of the violent force, and used her energy to heal the man.

Blood spewed from Jiang Zhi's mouth.

At the same time, the man gradually regained consciousness.

"Lord of the Continent..." Upon seeing Jiang Zhi, he was about to stand up and bow.

"No need." Jiang Zhi pressed the man back down, wiped the blood from her mouth, and looked at him with a pale face, "How did you get transported here too?"

"I failed my mission, I was discovered," the man said, lowering his head in self-reproach.

Jiang Zhi looked at the man, "Were you interrogated by him using the Strategy Whip?"

The man lowered his head in silence, which was as good as an admission.

Jiang Zhi was burning with rage.

Then she stood up angrily, "I must go back and deal with him!"

"But this Dark Shadow Island... can we even get out?" the man asked, looking around hopelessly.

Jiang Zhi calmed down as well.

"In any case, we can't just sit here and wait for death," Jiang Zhi said after pondering.

"First, we need to survive on this island." Jiang Zhi stood up, feeling dizzy from the backlash of the violent force, fortunately supported by her subordinate.

"How can we survive on this Dark Shadow Island?" the man asked.

"As long as we don't use spiritual power, we'll be fine," Jiang Zhi said. "We'll survive using mortal methods."

"Mortal methods? We don't need to practice abstinence from food?" the man asked.

"No need," Jiang Zhi said confidently. "Although the environment on this island is harsh, there's no shortage of food to fill our stomachs."

The man was puzzled, "There's food on this island?"

"At the edge of Dark Shadow Island is a Black Sea, rich in fish, enough for both of us to survive," Jiang Zhi said decisively. "Follow me."

"That's wonderful!" The man's face lit up with hope after hearing of a chance for survival in such dire circumstances.

The two arrived at the Black Sea.

The man seemed to recall something and suddenly said, "Lord of the Continent, I remember there's a legend that the Black Sea is full of poisonous creatures. Are you sure the fish there are edible?"

"Of course!" Jiang Zhi nodded.

"But doesn't the legend say...?" The man asked worriedly.

"The legend is false," Jiang Zhi said calmly.

Just as she was about to put her hand in, the man grabbed it.

"What do you mean, Lord of the Continent?" The man held Jiang Zhi's hand, "Do you think I really don't dare?"

With that, he unhesitatingly plunged his hand into the water.

"Hiss!!!"

The man closed his eyes and bit his teeth, sucking in a cold breath.

This really fucking hurts...

Intense pain instantly swept through the man's body, but to show Jiang Zhi his loyalty, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

After several breaths, the man couldn't bear it anymore.

With a pale face, he said, "My hand should be covered in fish!" With that, he lifted his hand.

On his bloody hand, forget about fish, there wasn't even any flesh left.

Only white bone remained.

Black smoke was still rising from the bone.

Because the seawater was so dark, they hadn't even seen the color of blood.

The man was dumbfounded, and so was Jiang Zhi.

The next moment, the man's entire body began to turn black, his eyeballs bulging.

As he fell, he looked at Jiang Zhi in disbelief, "You... did you deliberately... plan to... harm me..."

His broken words stopped, and the man fell down.

He had become a corpse.

Jiang Zhi stood stunned on the beach, her eyes wide open, looking at the man's corpse in disbelief.

The man's corpse lay by the sea, and the waves of the Black Sea washed over it.

When the waves receded, only a skeleton remained.

A couple of familiar fish were frantically biting at the white bones.

Seeing that the waves were about to wash over, Jiang Zhi retreated repeatedly.

Why?!

She couldn't understand...

How could a person suddenly be gone...

Didn't that Human Immortal say these fish weren't poisonous???

And she had clearly seen him use his own body to fish!

Where had it all gone wrong?

She was filled with regret and remorse, as a vibrant life had been lost right before her eyes.
