Chapter 24 Touching the Corpse
But when passing by the corpse, Cao Ze suddenly had an idea.

He remembered that the opponent seemed to have hit the Snow Falling Knife and the Wind Thunder God Fist in succession.

After all, it was greed that got to him. The moment Cao Ze thought of it, he changed direction, came to the corpse, fished it out, and spread it on the deck of the sloop.

Cao Ze did not touch the body immediately. Instead, he rowed the boat quickly. After about half a quarter of an hour, he let the boat float freely on the sea and came to the body.

The female corpse was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a stern face and a heroic air.

But at this moment, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her chest was not moving, so it was obvious that she was not going to survive.

But even though she is dead, her noble temperament is still intimidating, as if she is something that can only be admired from afar and not touched.

Cao Ze was secretly shocked, but considering the lavish spending of this woman at the auction, it was normal for such a person to hold a high position.

He even suspected that this person was one of the two figures he had seen before!

He glanced at the other person's body. Because her long skirt was soaked by the sea water, every detail was clearly visible. Her figure was not inferior to Su Xiaozhi's, and even better, like a blooming peony.

Compared to her, even Su Xiaozhi, who has been developed by him, is just a green flower.

After a quick glance, Cao Ze frowned.

The woman's curves were fully exposed, and there was nothing suspicious about her.

"Did she hide it somewhere else?"

Cao Ze cursed inwardly, feeling that everything was really going wrong for him today.

But he didn't give up and squatted down.

"excuse me!"

Whispering softly, Cao Ze was not intimidated by the noble temperament of the female corpse. He reached out and touched the female corpse.

Although I didn't see any place where the secret book might be hidden, who knows if the other party kept it close to him, so it's normal that I couldn't see it at a glance.

The body felt cold to the touch, and the bloodstains on the white dress were still sticky.

There was no other items on the waist of the female corpse except a small sachet. Then, Cao Ze's gaze fell on the small hill on the chest of the female corpse. It was quite large and maybe there was something padding there.

You just need to reach out and press it, and you can judge by the feel.

However, the next moment, Cao Ze suddenly felt a chill that made his hair stand on end, as if he had encountered some terrifying beast, and he subconsciously retreated.

Unfortunately, before he could move, a sharp dagger was placed across his neck.

Cao Ze didn't dare to move. When he looked at the female corpse, he found that she had opened her eyes at some point.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with anger and cold murderous intent.

This woman is still alive!

A chill rushed from the coccyx to the back of the head, and Cao Ze was completely enveloped in the cold, as if frozen in place.

He was not a careless person. He observed carefully when he was retrieving the body. He had confirmed that what he saw was a corpse without any signs of life, otherwise he would not have touched the corpse so unscrupulously.

The moment he saw those eyes, Cao Ze felt like he was standing naked in front of a tiger, as if he was the only one left in the world, lonely, weak, helpless... He couldn't help but tremble all over.

The neck felt slippery; the skin was obviously broken and blood was oozing out.

"I just wanted to search for the cheats you took. I didn't mean any harm."

It took a lot of effort for Cao Ze to break free from the great fear. He raised his hands and spoke with a dry mouth and hoarse voice.

The woman didn't say anything, but stared at him with eyes full of anger and murderous intent.

However, Cao Ze discovered something was wrong.

Judging from the murderous intent in the other party's eyes, he should have been killed long ago!

Thinking of this, Cao Ze pushed the deck hard with his legs, causing the sloop to shake, and retreated straight into the cabin.

This is a technique I learned from Zheng Tiezhu.

puff……

The woman wanted to chase after him, but before she could get up, she spat out a mouthful of blood, adding a lot of color to her white dress.

As expected! Cao Ze breathed a sigh of relief. The woman was seriously injured and had no strength to move anymore.

However, Cao Ze was not going to argue any further. He picked up the harpoon next to him and provoked the woman lying on the boat from a distance, trying to push her off the boat.

It is conceivable that the person who seriously injured the woman must be searching for her. If he can't find her, it is only a matter of time before he finds himself. So he threw the woman off the boat. Only after those people found the woman can he be safer!

He didn't kill her, because who knows if this woman has any other tricks up her sleeve, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

The two figures fighting under the moon just now gave him a great shock.

"help me!"

A faint voice came from the bow. There was no doubt that it was the seriously injured woman.

I don’t know if it was because he was too badly injured or because he was too embarrassed to speak, but if Cao Ze didn’t have good hearing, he would have almost missed the voice.

Cao Ze did not waver at all. He exerted force with the harpoon in his hand and was about to throw the woman off the boat.

What a joke! With his small body, he has no right to get involved in a fight of that magnitude. He doesn't want to die.

However, this did not provoke him, and the harpoon was held down by the woman's hand.

Of course, this press caused blood to flow from the corner of the woman's mouth, and it was obvious that the injury had been agitated.

"You can't get out without me!"

The woman said quickly, "The Dragon Temple has blocked this sea area."

Cao Ze hesitated for a moment, then raised the harpoon again.

Since the Dragon God Temple has blocked this sea area, the probability of him escaping alone is much higher than taking this source of disaster with him.

"I know a hiding place!"

The woman held the harpoon tightly, "You killed the people from the Dragon Temple, you can't get away!"

Cao Ze finally stopped.

The Dragon God Temple should be the organization to which those people he killed just now belonged, but how did this woman know that he killed people from the Dragon God Temple?

This is not important. What is important is that if this woman knows it, then the people in the Dragon God Temple must also know it!
If that's the case, the Dragon Temple has blocked this sea area, and I really can't escape.

"There's no time, let's go!"

The woman knew that she had convinced Cao Ze, so she let go of the harpoon and urged him on.

Cao Ze was not a hesitant person. He knew that the people from the Dragon God Temple must be searching for this woman everywhere. There was no time to waste. He gritted his teeth, put away the harpoon, and walked towards the woman.

"What are you doing?"

When the woman saw Cao Ze walking towards her, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

She had already seen from the brief fight just now that although the fisherman's strength was not worth mentioning, she was now seriously injured. If the other party really had any ill intentions, she would be powerless to resist.

"You hide in the cabin!"

Cao Ze quickly explained that since they were going to cooperate, Cao Ze instantly changed his mind and did not hesitate.

The woman then breathed a sigh of relief and allowed Cao Ze to pick her up by the waist and sit her down in the cabin.

"Continue east for fifty nautical miles, then head northeast 15 degrees for another hundred nautical miles. There is an uninhabited island where you can hide!"

As she sat down, the woman was not vague and directly reported her location.

Without any hesitation, Cao Ze came to the stern and started rowing.

He didn't know what kind of organization the Dragon Temple was, but no matter what organization it was, it couldn't have unlimited manpower, and it was very difficult to block the sea leading to the coast. If they went the other way and went to the deep sea, there might be a glimmer of hope.

As for abandoning the woman in white dress after getting the location of the island, Cao Ze is not that stupid. What if the other party gave a fake location?

The woman sitting in the cabin snorted and closed her eyes when she saw that Cao Ze did not do anything stupid.

　From now on, except for Tuesdays, I will release two chapters at the early morning. I am too lazy to publish them separately, and everyone can enjoy reading them.
