201 Elemental Confinement

Cheng Xiu looked towards the Rat Counsellor who was climbing the wall after that.

She released her sword from its sheath.

Just as she was about to step forward, a trident blocked her path.

Cheng Xiu frowned and turned to San Zhe. "Yes?"

"That…" San Zhe looked around, not meeting her eyes. "I…that is my prey."

Cheng Xiu blinked. "Yours? Did we have some kind of an arrangement where you would fight one Rat and I will fight the other?"

San Zhe nodded. "The both of us are doing the same Quest, and we have the same targets, so we kind of decided that we would one each…it wasn't said in those exact words but that was the intent behind it."

Cheng Xiu blinked. She wasn't surprised that much that they had that kind of an arrangement. After all, everyone had to pull their weight in a Quest. She was not going to pull the entire responsibility all onto herself.
