REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS

Chapter 137: All Is Understood, and No Words Required (1)

He managed to obtain five badges without any difficulty at all!

The effects of the Illusory Construction curse far exceeded his expectations. Not only could one control a person for a short period of time, but the victim would also consider the task given as their mission to complete, no matter the cost!

After Cao Xu completed his mission, his bright expression immediately blurred into a unfocused gaze that once again looked into the distance. Then he slowly turned around and walked towards the cave.

Shen Yanxiao knew that after Cao Xu returned to the cave, she would completely forget everything that had happened.

After he moved the five badges into the space ring, Shen Yanxiao's nimble figure hurriedly leaped back to the tree where Vermilion Bird was.

Vermilion Bird exerted a bit of strength on his little legs, and then his little figure swirled in the air before he sat on the tree branch.

"You used a combination curse?" Vermilion Bird scrunched his nose. He saw everything that had happened before. Shen Yanxiao's hand movements were extremely fast, and it was definitely a combination curse.

You recognised her? The effects of the Illusory Construction curse were beyond his expectations, so Shen Yanxiao was in a good mood.

He realized that, in the future, he could play around with others without leaving a trace!

"I've met some witches in the past. They were all shameless bastards, specializing in using curses to oppress people. " The Vermilion Bird pouted as he muttered.

"Oh? Could it be you "

"Silent. How can a human curse control a mythical creature like myself? " The Vermilion Bird arrogantly crossed his arms as he turned his head to the side.

He would never tell her that he had fallen into a witch trap in the past.

Really no!

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. As it was late at night, he had no intention of continuing on. Although the magical beasts there were not strong, but they liked to travel in groups. Besides, he was also tired from that day, so he lay down on a tree branch.

In another corner of the Invisible Forest, four pitiful figures continued to run around, and the silhouettes of a group of people with crystal lights could also be seen.

The morning came when the first rays of sunlight illuminated the Unknown Forest, and the dark surroundings finally delivered light.

Shen Yanxiao was still sound asleep when she suddenly felt that a heavy stone was pressed against her chest, and she had trouble breathing.

He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a pair of red eyes in front of him.

Vermilion Bird somehow climbed into his chest. Even though his small figure was not as heavy as an adult, it was still considered ‘weight’ for thirteen-year-old Shen Yanxiao.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yanxiao glared at the pair of shining eyes, as she wished she could kick Vermilion Bird who was always doing unexpected things.

Awaken you. Vermilion Bird spoke seriously.

""

To ask you to watch a good show.

""

Shen Yanxiao wordlessly raised Vermilion Bird before she rubbed her aching chest. Even if he had not developed yet, did the little boy not realize that it was impolite to climb up a woman's chest so early in the morning?

After secretly cursing a certain mythical creature for its lack of moral principles, Shen Yanxiao heard a voice from somewhere nearby.

Cao Xu stood at the entrance of the cave with a pale face as he looked at the four of his teammates standing before him.

"Cao Xu, stop playing games. Hurry up and give us our badges. " Meng Yiheng frowned and looked at Cao Xu, as Li Xiang, Shangguan Xiao, and Qian Shanni stood by his side. Everyone had dark expressions on their faces.

"The badge? What exactly are you talking about? " Cao Xu felt as if he was going crazy. Meng Yiheng and the other three members had requested their badges from him in the morning, but how could he possibly get their badges !?

Cao Xu was irritated. While he was still asleep, Meng Yiheng had woken him up. Even though he couldn't sleep well, he had a severe headache, and he didn't know why. It didn't matter that he felt unwell, but the moment Meng Yiheng and the others woke him up, they asked for a badge from him. Their request confused him.

"Cao Xu, this is not true. We are a team, and even if there is a conflict between us, you should not joke now. " Meng Yiheng was considered familiar with Cao Xu. Although Cao Xu disagreed with Li Xiang last night, he had enough sense to be in charge of night watch, and that should be a good thing.

"Who's joking with you ?!" Cao Xu shouted.

"You've caused quite a commotion, and you need to stop. Hurry up and hand over the badge. We still have to look for some medicinal ingredients today. " Shangguan Xian was too lazy to comfort Cao Xu. He was already unhappy with the fact that Cao Xu slept all night instead of keeping watch at night, but Cao Xu was still pretending as if he knew nothing about it. It was not something he could accept.

"Absolutely. Brother Shangguan doesn't have many herbs left, so we should gather the required medicinal ingredients before we finish the others. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if we met another team. " Qian Shanni tried to persuade him in a gentle tone.

Cao Xu's lips twitched. He felt as if they had ganged on him.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Cao Xu, will you stop him? You're the one who wanted to keep watch last night and even asked for our badge to be handed over for safekeeping. We don't even care you made a mistake, and you're still trying to cause trouble here? Do you want everyone to lose their qualifications before you are satisfied ?! " Li Xiang could no longer hold back. He already had a conflict with Cao Xu, and if not for Cao Xu's request last night, he would never have given his badge to him for safekeeping.

"Wait, what are you saying? When did I say I would be responsible for keeping? Didn't we all reach a consensus yesterday that no one would be responsible? Shangguan Xiao, aren't you also using the Quagmire Potion to set up a trap? " The more he heard, Cao Xu grew even more frightened. He did not understand what they were saying, but the badge was important, and it would be troublesome if they lost it.

Meng Yiheng frowned, but he tried to contain his anger. He said, "Yesterday, we all slept well until you came to ask for our badge. You said that you would be on guard the night to prevent the archers from the other team from going through the trap of stealing our badges. So, we all handed our badges to you for safekeeping. I've seen you keep all our Badges along with yours in your pocket. "

"Stop joking! I never said anything like that. You all must be dreaming! After all, my badge was always pinned to my chest, so when to do it "While talking, Cao Xu put on his clothes so they could see it. However, as he lowered his head, his heart fell.

On his chest was nothing pinned, and there was not even a shadow of a badge on it!

"This how did this happen? I remember I wore a badge on my chest! " Cao Xu panicked. He did not care about the fate of the other members, but his badge had disappeared without a trace!

"You still deny it? Then where is the badge that should be on your chest? It's in your pocket, with the rest of our badges. " Li Xiang coldly snorted.

"No way!" Cao Xu inspected himself head to toe in a hurry, but he was unable to even find a single badge even after he had ransacked his pocket.

As they saw cold sweat dripping from Cao Xu's face, the other members' expressions darkened. The three members who had originally suspected that Cao Xu was deliberately trying to make it harder for Li Xiang became increasingly anxious.

"Find it again carefully, did you put it in the space ring or something?" Meng Yiheng nervously said as he walked towards her.

As he rummaged through the space ring, Cao Xu anxiously replied, "No way, I don't remember putting it inside."

Cao Xu poured everything in his space ring onto the ground, but there was still no indication of his badge.

The gloomy atmosphere spread throughout the cave, and the discovery dealt a fatal blow to the already disharmonious team.

"Cao Xu, what's wrong with you? Where's our badge! Hurry and surrender! " Li Xiang became even more anxious. He joined the team because he wanted to work together with stronger teammates and not such an accident to happen.

"You better keep your mouth shut!" His headache continued, and he had a problem. Cao Xu no longer cared about Qian Shanni's presence and shouted furiously.

"And you still dare to scold me ?!" Li Xiang was aggravated by the situation. He grabbed his staff to fight with Cao Xu.

Meng Yiheng realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately moved to stop the impulsive Li Xiang.

"Now is not the time to fight. Let's try to figure out what happened last night! Cao Xu has no reason to deceive us because he will also be eliminated if he loses his badge. So, he did not need to do something that would harm others and himself at the same time. " Meng Yiheng managed to remain calm.

"Yesterday night I remember some of us were sleeping, and we all woke up upon hearing Li Xiang's screams. Afterwards, Cao Xu said that he would be on guard tonight and wanted us to give him a badge. " Qian Shanni furrowed her brows and replied hesitantly.

"I never said that I would be on my guard!" Cao Xu was furious.

"You're still pretending! Obviously, you wanted to take my badge by taking advantage of the situation last night. If I don't wake up and find out your actions, no one will know that you are the culprit! " Li Xiang roared.

"I've said this for the hundredth time. I didn't do it! " Cao Xu practically wanted to go crazy on all of them. Do they have headaches? Why did they insist that he take their badge?

"Enough! You two stop it! " Shangguan Xiao looked at his teammates as his head ached. He felt ridiculous accepting Cao Xu's invitation. He looked at Cao Xu with a stern look and said, "No matter if you admit it or not. Four of us were there when you asked for our badge. Regardless of whether you misplace it or if someone else takes it while you sleep, it is not that important right now! "

"Shangguan's right." Meng Yiheng had a serious expression on his face. "Right now, we've lost all our badges. According to the teacher, our badge cannot even be separated from our side. And now, even Cao Xu had lost his badge. This means our team is disqualified from the exam. "

"Then what should we do?" Li Xiang started to panic.

"I don't know. Master only mentioned that if our five badges are no longer with us, then the entire team will be disqualified. " Meng Yiheng said with a frown as he felt uneasy.

The situation with Cao Xu was indeed strange. However, he had no reason to lie because he would not benefit from it.
