Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 508 - 509: Dugu Wu’s Fury

The sound of flowing water was in their ears, and Wu Zhenzhen’s words left the already bewildered team members unsure of what to do.

Going back was impossible; from what Wu Zhenzhen implied, after their arrival at this section of the river, the nearby waters were already infested with these terrifying man-eating monsters.

Even if they returned to the camp, what awaited them would be a horrific slaughter; the only thing they could do now was to cross the river before them and reach the small cabin on the opposite shore.

Only by doing so would it mean that they had passed the first round of the elimination contest.

Everyone’s heart was icy cold at this moment.

"Does Dugu Wu know about all this?"

Feng Bailing remained calm after hearing everything.

She was not as shocked as the others; since she had already decided to participate in the Competition Among Ten Countries, she had made the worst-case preparations.

The only thing she somewhat cared about was whether Dugu Wu knew about this.

When he left the horse carriage, did he know what she was about to face?

Wu Zhenzhen hooked her lips into a smile.

"Princess Consort Wu, I can tell you that Prince Wu is not aware, not just Prince Wu, but also the leaders of the other seven countries are all unaware of this. The only ones who know are the two of us sisters and four leaders from two other countries."

The six leaders from three countries possessing the Earth Holy Seal, following the agreement among the Commandery Princesses of Ten Nations, cooperated with each other and began the first round of the elimination contest.

Wu Zhenzhen thought of those who were still in the dark, and her mouth curved into a scornful smile.

Perhaps in terms of strength, the two sisters were not the strongest among the leaders of the Ten Countries, but when it came to deceiving people, she believed no one could see through them.

"I have made everything clear that I need to say; consider it making your journey to the underworld more understandable. The only thing you can do is to cross this river. However, I can responsibly tell you not to try to attack those crocodiles. Their skin is very tough, and ordinary swords and spears simply can’t kill them. In addition, do not try to fight them in the water, their strength is something you cannot match."

Wu Zhenzhen finished speaking and stepped back to the side.

Some began to wail in near-collapse, while others stared blankly at the floating limbs and debris on the water.

It wouldn’t take long for them to become a meal in the crocodiles’ bellies.

Some had already begun to regret participating in the Competition Among Ten Countries, being nothing more than pawns to advance the contest in the eyes of the Monarchs.

Time, like flowing water, moved slowly.

The dusk grew deeper, and no one knew when the fierce beasts in the water would suddenly become hungry again and launch an attack on the people on the other shore.

The people on the shore were out of water and had exhausted all their food. With fear in their hearts, they were on the verge of collapsing.

Wu Zhenzhen watched all this, indifferent. She looked up at the sky, guessing that by tomorrow morning, these weak reserve team members might be slaughtered.

She glanced again at Feng Bailing, who also seemed to have been frightened by the current situation and no longer spoke.

No wonder, how could a Commandery Princess who had been pampered in a greenhouse cope with the current situation?

She still had the mind to inquire about Dugu Wu; could she be hoping that Dugu Wu would come back to save her?

The current Dugu Wu was no longer the Dugu Wu of the past; he probably wouldn’t realize the truth even to the moment of Feng Bailing’s death.

Around dusk, on a hilltop.

"There are some footprints here; that group of people should have started from here."

The Earth Holy Seal was stolen, and Wu Zhenzhen led the team outside to search for the whereabouts of the Earth Holy Seal and the bandits. But even after one day and one night, they hadn’t found any trace.

"This kind of tracking isn’t working; those bandits keep moving east and west, fighting a guerrilla war. I think we’d better withdraw for now and go find those substitute team members."

Ouyang Chenchen wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had already inquired Dugu Wu, learning that Feng Bailing was left behind.

She was somewhat worried about the safety of her good friend, although Mr. Nan Chen said that Feng Bailing was smarter than her and would be fine.

But in this desolate wilderness, Ouyang Chenchen was still not entirely reassured; she had a bad feeling.

"I can already feel the aura of the Earth Holy Seal; let’s search a bit more."

Wu Wanwan avoided Ouyang Chenchen’s anxious gaze, her emotions at that time equally complex.

Her sister told her that no matter what, she had to stall these people until the first elimination round tomorrow at noon, which would be nearly over.

Unless there was an accident, most of the reserve team members would likely be eliminated. This method was too cruel.

Wu Wanwan had a timid disposition, and she originally disapproved of this plan, but forced by the monarch’s command, she agreed.

They staged the night raid and the theft of the Earth Holy Seal. However, after being saved by Feng Bailing and Xia Xing last night, Wu Wanwan regretted it. She contacted her sister in the night, stating she didn’t want to harm Feng Bailing and Xia Xing. Wu Zhenzhen severely reprimanded her and told her to stop getting involved and to return and fool the team leaders.

The rest was left for Wu Zhenzhen to handle.

Calculating the hours, her sister and the others should have already arrived near the cabin by now. What awaited them there would be a terrifying slaughter.

Sorry, Feng Bailing.

Wu Wanwan’s mood plummeted even further, and she couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Her subtle changes in expression did not escape Dugu Wu’s notice.

The heterochromatic blue-brown eyes slightly narrowed as he blocked Wu Wanwan’s path with his cane.

Wu Wanwan was startled.

"Prince Wu, what are you doing?"

"Wu Wanwan, you and your sister really think you can make fools of us, dragging us around in circles. How much longer do you intend to keep this up?"

Dugu Wu also glanced at the sky, growing more irritated.

Wu Wanwan forced a smile, pretending to be confused.

"Prince Wu, what are you talking about? I’m Wu Zhenzhen."

"Dugu Wu, your leg may be crippled, but surely your eyes aren’t failing you too. This person is Wu Zhenzhen; Wu Wanwan was taken away."

Xiao Junci loved to contradict Dugu Wu.

"She’s not Wu Zhenzhen; she’s Wu Wanwan. Wu Zhenzhen has calluses on her right hand, while Wu Wanwan has calluses on her left hand. If I’m not mistaken, you sisters are proficient in using different hands. One is skilled with the left, the other with the right. To confuse others in public, from the start you both disguised yourselves as right-handed."

Dugu Wu’s gaze, sharp as a sword, immediately fell on Wu Wanwan’s left hand.

Wu Wanwan, startled, drew her hand back. This clear giveaway, "protesting too much," immediately drew the side glances of others.

She had never imagined that as a man, Dugu Wu’s thoughtfulness could be so meticulous.

In fact, not just with Wu Wanwan, whenever Dugu Wu faced any stranger, he would always observe them carefully. Having spotted the discrepancy that morning, with the Lady Wu sisters, it was just habitual observation.
