When contact with one of the signal sources was disrupted, Lapik accelerated his pursuit. The joy from killing Barpu had also faded, as the mountain range around the fourth checkpoint was vast. He was very worried that his men might lose Lu Hong, which would result in him wasting a lot of time searching for the target. Moreover, other forces would inevitably get involved, making the ownership of the Divine Child Command even more uncertain.
When Lapik arrived near Liu Mei, panting from the effort, his expression was dark and frightening.
"Did you kill my men?" Lapik asked, his tone filled with a murderous intent.
"No," Liu Wushuang shook her head, "When we arrived, he was already dead."
Under the moonlight, Lapik, his voice somber, asked, "I heard that Tutulu came into the mountains with you?"
"I brought him here," Liu Mei admitted without denial. After all, many had seen them leave together from the third checkpoint; it was no secret.
