Chapter 120: A traitor appears and sows discord
As the sun gradually rose, the temperature of the desert also began to rise. The golden sunlight sprinkled on the sand dunes, forming dazzling light bands, and the outline of the sand dunes appeared particularly clear under the light and shadow.
Due to last night’s independent voting, Song Tianjiao brought a huge team, but only half of them decided to stay.
"Well, it's not that bad yet. At least more than half of the people are left." Song Tianjiao looked at the remaining twenty or so people and let out a long breath.
Mo Mo reached out and patted her shoulder without saying a word.
Song Tianjiao looked down at the little cutie in front of her, confused.
The remaining people all had anticipation for the new day and curiosity about the unknown on their faces. They helped each other, checked their equipment, and made sure everything was ready.
A few hours after departure, Song Tianjiao arranged for everyone to rest on the desert pile.
"Here!" Seeing that Mo Mo's water bottle had dried up, Song Tianjiao poured out a glass of water from her own water bottle and handed it to Mo Mo beside her.
"Thank you, I have some in my spare water bottle." Mo Mo did not reach out to take it, but instead took out his spare water bottle to pour water to drink.
She didn't know why Song Tianjiao suddenly agreed to form a team, and she didn't know much about this person. Especially since their first encounter was not very friendly, after all, this was the person who caused her to lose half her life when they first met.
"What? Are you still on guard against me now?" Song Tianjiao looked at her with amusement.
Mo Mo looked back at her and had to say that this woman was extremely beautiful. When she smiled, she was as beautiful as a fairy in a TV drama, completely bewitching.
"After all, you cost me half my life the first time we met." Mo Mo said what he was thinking and then rolled his eyes at her.
"Then I am proving it with my actions. Am I not apologizing now? Look, how sincere I am."
[Apologize? Is that really all? ]
Mo Mo's mind was full of thoughts, but her reason told her not to trust anyone easily. She put away her spare water bottle without saying a word.
"Well--!"
Suddenly, Song Tianjiao let out a muffled groan.
Mo Mo and the others looked in her direction, and Mo Mo was shocked!
He walked towards her direction, "How are you? Are you okay?"
“Swish!” Song Tianjiao lifted up the tip of the knife that was stuck in the sand and threw some sand towards Mo Mo’s face. Then she sat there triumphantly and laughed, “You little brat, you really care about me! And you look so proud. Hahahaha.”
Mo Mo felt that he was being teased by the woman in front of him. He pouted unnaturally and didn't intend to pay any more attention to her. He turned and left.
The crowd continued walking in the desert for a while, talking and laughing. Those walking in front were stabbed to death by people who suddenly jumped out of the sand.
"Not good! Be alert!" Song Tianjiao shouted!
Mo Mo grasped the backpack on his back with one hand, and with the other hand, his spiritual energy turned into a sharp sword and rushed forward.
"Qiang——!"
Her spiritual level is now high, her sword swinging speed is faster, and her sword energy is extremely powerful.
The two evil bandits in front of him were injured by the sword energy and soon fell to the ground. The rest were captured by Song Tianjiao's men. Before they could be questioned, they actually voluntarily took poison.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your spiritual power has improved again. It seems that it's right for me to give away the Yu Shuixian Fruit." Song Tianjiao said with a smile as she looked at the two people who were killed by sword energy.
“Rustle—rustle—!”
Suddenly, there was a slight noise all around.
"Listen! Is there any strange noise?" Mo Mo pricked up his ears and listened vigilantly.
Song Tianjiao listened for a while and said, "You are just too cautious. Otherwise, you are quite cute."
As soon as he finished speaking, two or three huge black scorpions jumped up from the ground.
"careful!"
Song Tianjiao happened to see one behind Mo Mo, so she stood up and pushed Mo Mo to the side.
"laugh--!"
"Pfft——!"
The two voices sounded almost at the same time.
One of Song Tianjiao's men slashed the scorpion's tail with a knife, and the huge broken tail fell on the sand beside Mo Mo. She looked at the scorpion's tail, then looked at Song Tianjiao lying on top of her, and pushed her: "Hey! Stop acting, get up quickly and help together!"
……
Song Tianjiao, who was lying on top of her, seemed to be asleep and didn't move at all. Mo Mo frowned, reached out his hand and pushed her away from him with force.
Song Tianjiao fell to the ground and Mo Mo got up by himself.
When she was about to join the fight with others, she realized that Song Tianjiao was still lying on the ground motionless.
"Hey! Are you still pretending to be dead? You won't get a fight later."
After realizing something was wrong, Mo Mo squatted down again and found that her back was pierced by the scorpion's tail.
"Not good!" Mo Mo felt his eyebrows twitch.
However, when Mo Mo was treating Song Tianjiao's wounds in the makeshift tent, she found letters she had written to other people in her backpack.
The content of the letter did not mention any key information about the inside of the rift abyss; it only contained the route and general direction they had decided on, clues that everyone among them knew.
Mo Mo pretended not to see it and continued to treat her wounds, and injected his own spiritual energy into her to heal her.
Several teammates passed away and Song Tianjiao was injured again, and the atmosphere in the team was a little depressed.
Song Tianjiao tried every means to encourage and cheer up the remaining people.
Mo Mo looked quietly at this woman with great leadership skills through the light of the fire.
"What are you thinking about?" Song Tianjiao returned to the fire and found that Mo Mo's eyes were always on her, so she asked.
Mo Mo just shook his head and smiled faintly without saying anything.
"I found this on myself," Song Tianjiao suddenly took out the letter from her pocket and said sincerely, "You must have seen it when you were healing me, right? To be honest, I don't know who put it on me and when, whether you believe it or not."
The air was silent.
"I believe it." Mo Mo's voice was light, and no emotion could be heard in it.
Song Tianjiao looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why? Do you really trust me that much?"
Mo Mo still stared at the fire expressionlessly. "At first I had my doubts too. I thought that even your saving me might be a 'torture trick', but after reading the contents of the letter, it's clear that this might be a trap."
Song Tianjiao continued to look at Mo Mo without saying a word.
"If it was really you who reported the news, you wouldn't just write such insignificant content. You could have written that the chief of the Tsukuyomi tribe had a parchment scroll in his hand, or even written down the things about several areas inside the rift abyss based on your memory. So, this letter could very well have been written by anyone here." The hair by Mo Mo's ears fluttered in the night wind. Her voice was very calm, and there was a distant aura about her that made her difficult to approach.
"But don't be too happy too soon. Your far-fetched reason for coming here is not enough for me to fully trust you. I healed you just because I didn't want to owe you anything. At this moment, the person I trust the most is still myself."
"I understand." After listening to Mo Mo's words, Song Tianjiao felt that this child was precocious. The efficiency and maturity in his work were totally unlike what one should have at his age.
"Leave the matter of the traitor to me. I will definitely find that person out. At the same time, I also want to see who is behind the scenes." Song Tianjiao slowly sat down beside Mo Mo, grimacing in pain as her wound was pulled.
