"Tick-tock, tick-tock," the cold sensation made Xiang Xueer slowly open her eyes. Water droplets were dripping from the stalactites on the stone wall in front of her. She reached up to touch her cheek and found her body surprisingly warm. Didn't I die?
She slowly sat up and looked around at her surroundings. It was a cave, and following the light not far away, she realized the cave was quite deep. Xiang Xueer stood up and touched her chest, puzzled. Her heart had clearly been shot; could this be the Underworld? Hmph, having killed countless people, she would probably end up in the Eighteen Layers of Hell even after death.
With a 'thud,' she bumped into something with her foot. Looking down, she noticed that she was standing in a puddle of water. "Splash," Xiang Xueer frowned as she stared at her soaked embroidered cloth shoes. Just as she felt surprised, a strong smell of blood suddenly assaulted her senses, accompanied by an unpleasant stench.
How disgusting! What is that smell? She covered her nose with her hand and cautiously took a few steps toward the cave entrance. Then she was horrified to discover that on both sides of the ground leading outside, there were neatly arranged human skulls—five below, three in the middle, and one on top.
She couldn't help but think of Mei Chaofeng from The Legend of the Condor Heroes, who often practiced with human skulls. No way, what kind of place is this? Instinctively sensing danger and unable to endure the smell in the cave any longer, she quickly ran toward the cave entrance.
With a 'thud,' a pillar of flesh blocked her path in the darkness. She collided with it and rubbed her head while looking down at an extra pair of feet on the ground. She quickly stepped back and looked up to see a man in tattered clothes standing before her, around thirty years old, with a bloody mark around his neck and hollow eyes staring intently at her.
"Who are you?" Xiang Xueer shouted angrily, reaching for her body only to realize she had no weapon. She raised her fists, backing up slightly; if this person dared to take a step forward, she would surely use her unique skills to end his life.
"Head... head... give me your head!" The man stared at Xiang Xueer, his mouth opening and closing as he approached her, reaching out to grab her neck.
"You're asking for death!" Xiang Xueer was already prepared to attack. Using her small joint lock technique, she turned around and kicked out, swiftly pinning the man's arm down to the ground so he couldn't move.
Hmph! Not so tough after all! Xiang Xueer snorted coldly, glancing sideways at the terrifying skulls beside them. "Who are you really? Why am I here? Did you bring me here?"
Could it be that this idiot saved me? No, my gunshot wound is gone; how strange! She pondered deeply.
"Give me your head!" Suddenly, the man's head twisted 180 degrees; what had been facing away from her now turned towards her. His mouth opened wide, revealing a row of sharp fangs dripping with black liquid as he lunged at her!
"Ah!" The usually calm Xiang Xueer was also frightened. What kind of creature was this person, able to turn its head in circles? She instinctively felt fear as the monster's power grew stronger. She quickly released the pressure she had on him and turned to flee towards the cave entrance.
"Hahaha!" Xiang Xueer gasped for breath as she ran wildly. Since she started her career as an assassin, she had seen all kinds of bloodshed, but she had never felt such panic before, because what she faced today was not a human at all.
Just as she was about to exit the cave, she stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud. Looking down at the pile of headless corpses in front of her, her face turned pale instantly. The stench was overwhelming, making it hard for her to breathe.
The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer. She looked back in horror; the man was swaying as he approached her, raising his hands and pointing directly at Xiang Xueer: "Head, give me your head! I want your skull!"
"Ah!" She screamed and struggled to get up, but unexpectedly tripped again. A sharp pain shot through her ankle; she vaguely felt that her ankle might have been dislocated. What should she do? Was she really going to be buried here among this pile of headless corpses?
