Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Sorcerer Array_1
"If it’s not on the map, that’s correct," Qin Feng answered.
Song Sisi looked puzzled and continued to ask, "Why?"
"Because the owner of this path doesn’t want others to know about it, so naturally, it can’t appear on the map."
At the end of the small path was a grove of trees that were twisted and odd in shape, but each one looked strange. Moreover, there was a thin layer of mist in the woods.
As soon as they reached the edge of the grove, Song Sisi felt somewhat uncomfortable.
So, she turned to Qin Feng and asked, "What’s the deal with this grove? Why do I feel it’s a bit strange, but I can’t quite put my finger on the feeling?"
"This forest is a Sorcerer Array."
Qin Feng had just spoken when the paper effigy suddenly burst into flames with a bang. The effigy was burned to ashes, and Jian Haiyang’s three souls fell to the ground. Qin Feng quickly recited a spell to restore the three souls to Jian Haiyang’s body.
Song Sisi sensed that something was amiss and asked with a worried face, "Why did the paper effigy suddenly catch fire? Did you do this?"
"I didn’t do it. It was because the effigy entered the territory of the grove and activated the Sorcerer Array. However, it’s okay, Jian Haiyang’s three souls are unharmed. It’s just that we’ve lost our effigy guide, so from now on, we’ll have to navigate the path on our own," Qin Feng said.
Song Sisi pointed at Jian Haiyang and asked, "Isn’t he something?"
"Uh..."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Feng said, "That’s also true! Although Forensic Doctor Jian is not the brightest, his destiny is quite strong. Even if we let him lead the way, he shouldn’t face much danger, at most, he might suffer some minor injuries.
Besides, he is a member of the Patrol Team. Suffering a bit for the sake of solving a case is part of the job! If need be, we’ll apply for a work injury claim for him later, maybe even get him some sort of first-class merit award."
"You’re really full of tricks!" Song Sisi chided Qin Feng.
"Me, full of tricks? This was your idea, you know?" Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Ha! Women!"
"What are you ’ha’-ing about?"
"What else can I ’ha’ at? Of course, it’s you, a woman full of tricks!"
Having said that, Qin Feng walked to the edge of the forest, snapped off a branch with a snap, then moved behind Song Sisi.
"Smack!"
He lightly tapped her on the buttocks.
This action shocked Song Sisi; she glared at Qin Feng with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance and demanded loudly, "What are you doing?"
"This crooked tree branch I broke off should be a hundred years old. In the last hundred years, it hanged at least one person every year, so at least a hundred people have been hanged on this tree. Therefore, the branch carries quite a bit of the Undead’s energy.
We’re about to enter the Sorcerer Array, and I needed to get you in touch with some of the Undead’s energy. Only then can you be safe. So, don’t get it wrong, I’m really not trying to take liberties with you. If I wanted to take liberties, why would I use a branch? A direct slap would be far more satisfying, wouldn’t it?"
"And you would use your hand? I’ll kill you!" Song Sisi roared like a tigress.
While her pretty face showed nothing but anger, there wasn’t the slightest discomfort in her heart.
If it weren’t for what Qin Feng said about the tree’s grim history, she might even have looked forward to Qin Feng hitting her a few more times?
After all, the tap Qin Feng delivered just now was neither too soft nor too hard, and surprisingly, it gave her a slight, unusual feeling.
It was a sensation she’d never felt before, nervous, expectant, and even a bit shy.
As Song Sisi was daydreaming, Qin Feng took the branch over to Jian Haiyang.
He raised the branch high and brought it down hard.
"Smack!"
It landed firmly on Jian Haiyang’s buttocks.
"Ah!"
Jian Haiyang let out a scream and then regained consciousness. He felt a burning pain in his buttocks and immediately reached back to rub it.
After catching his breath, he saw the branch in Qin Feng’s hands and vaguely remembered that it was Qin Feng who had hit him.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Helping you regain your soul!"
"You pervert!"
Jian Haiyang was very angry and felt like his buttocks had been beaten to a bloody pulp; it hurt without even touching, let alone rubbing it.
Song Sisi also wore a displeased expression and scolded Qin Feng, "You indecent jerk!"
At the same time, Song Sisi was very pleased. Because when Qin Feng had hit her, he hadn’t used nearly as much force, it was just right.
If Qin Feng dared to hit her like he had just hit Jian Haiyang, she would have immediately snatched the branch from his hand and whipped his buttocks until they bloomed.
"Shall I rub it for you?" Qin Feng suddenly said to Jian Haiyang.
His words shocked Song Sisi, and Jian Haiyang was dumbfounded.
However, Jian Haiyang quickly came to his senses.
"You pervert! Aren’t you disgusting?"
"Me, a pervert? Do you think I want to rub for you? A stinking man, I feel disgusted! I was just thinking, we need to get through this Sorcerer Array soon, and you have to lead the way. If I rub it a bit, you might be relatively safer," Qin Feng said.
After finishing his words, Qin Feng raised his foot and kicked Jian Haiyang right on the buttocks, sending him tumbling face-first to the ground.
