48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1389: It Was Him

“Where is he now? Why haven’t we found any traces of him around here?”

A woman with brown hair among the gods asked.

“Be patient. He can’t use his time-freeze ability anymore. Moreover, we didn’t waste too much time before. He can’t leave this mountain yet.”

“Everyone, I suddenly have a bad feeling.”At this moment, another woman’s voice sounded. Although her words were filled with speculation and uncertainty.., after hearing this, everyone was stunned.

This was because the one who spoke was the god of tarot cards among the new gods. Tarot cards were a kind of divination tool. Their origins were quite mysterious. Although they had experienced the baptism of time, they were still able to endure for a long time. Moreover, they were becoming more and more popular in modern times, many people were obsessed with them, hoping to find out the direction of their studies and love.

This was also the reason why the god of Tarot cards could be born. Therefore, her priesthood also naturally had the attribute of prophecy.

When she opened her mouth, even if it only sounded like a guess, it was enough to arouse everyone’s vigilance.

Therefore, the eyes of the gods focused on a big man. He was wearing a pair of iron boots, a suit of armor, and a broadsword. He looked quite handsome, but he had not said a word before, he was as silent as a stone.

However, this stone-like man was the main force of this manhunt.

The reason was simple. He was the god of the forest, Vidal.

When the evernight goddess was entangled with the Hydra, this mountain was his home ground. Wherever he went, he only needed to ask the local squirrels and rabbits to know if Zhang Heng was here.

However, even now that they were almost out of the mountain, Vidal did not stop them.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Vidal replied for the first time, “He’s not here.”Then, he fell into silence again.

“We must have missed something,”another god said. “There’s no reason for him to run so fast.”

“I told you we should have split up and searched,”someone complained.

“If we split up, none of us would be his match,”another god immediately replied. “You were the one who gathered everyone back then. If we hadn’t been standing so close, we wouldn’t have fallen into his trap together.”

“Alright, there’s no point in talking about this now,”the god of vegetables said. “The most important thing now is to find the target as soon as possible.”

“I said that we must have missed something...”the god who spoke suddenly paused, and then his eyes lit up, “I know. He had been running in this direction, so he made us think that there was something here. But now that we’ve checked around, there’s nothing here. Could it be that he misled us in the beginning?”

“Then, the question is, where do you think he will go in the other three directions?”Someone asked.

“If I were him, I wouldn’t choose any direction because no matter which direction he runs, he might run into danger.”The God of Bo Cai’s eyes lit up, “This is the simplest probability choice. It’s the safest for him to stay where he is.”

“Stay where he is?”The God of medicine and the pyramid, Imhotep, asked doubtfully. “Isn’t staying where he is a dead end for him? Because if we can’t find him anywhere else, he will come back sooner or later.”

“I don’t know.”The god of botany shrugged, “I’m just guessing the most likely choice from his past actions. It’s also very easy to verify my guess. We just need to go back once more. Anyway, we have this... Oh, this little brother who doesn’t like to talk much by our side. As long as we go back there and let him ask the animals there, everything will be clear.”

The gods didn’t have any objections. Just as they were about to get up and return, the tarot card god suddenly said, “No, I’m not going back.”

“Are you sure?”Medicine and the pyramid’s guardian God, imho, frowned.

“That’s right. I want to stay here for a while longer,”the tarot card god said. “Alone.”

“Alright, but it’s best if you don’t stay too long. After all, you’re alone. If you accidentally bump into him, it’s very likely that you’ll be in danger,”the botany God kindly reminded.

“Thank you, I’ll protect myself, and so will all of you.”

The tarot card god wasn’t particularly skilled in combat, so even if she was missing, it wouldn’t affect the gods’combat power. However, considering the tarot card god’s special ability, even though the gods didn’t say it out loud.., they were indeed feeling a little uneasy.

However, contrary to their expectations, when they returned to the small hill, they didn’t even need the forest god Vidal to communicate with the animals in the mountain, because Zhang Heng was standing under a big tree, he reached out and gently stroked the tree trunk.

The gods quickly scanned their surroundings and realized that there was no one else around. Their worried Hearts finally relaxed. Although there were a few twists and turns along the way, fortunately, the ending was no different from the beginning.

After that, they only needed to kill Zhang Heng to ensure the safety of the world.

However, to his surprise, Zhang Heng still seemed to be immersed in the strange touching of the tree. It was as if he didn’t even see them coming back.

One of the gods felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he drew his bow and shot an arrow at Zhang Heng.

As expected, Zhang Heng did not seem to notice the impending death. It was not until the Golden Arrow flew in front of him and was about to pierce through his neck that Zhang Heng reached out, he easily grabbed the arrow, as if he was reaching out to grab a leaf that was falling from the tree.

Finally, he averted his gaze from the bark. However, the gods present couldn’t help but gasp at his action. A normal person would only have to turn their eyes to look away, however, Zhang Heng’s eyes seemed to have been fixed in their sockets. He turned his head 180 degrees to look at the person who had shot the arrow.

The emotion that flashed through his eyes was not human at all. He only took a glance, and the god who had shot the arrow suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. Then, his skin began to melt and fall off, it turned into a bloody meatball, but the meatball was still alive. One could still hear the constant wails of pain coming from it.

“Be careful!”The God of Bo Cai’s cold sweat had soaked his clothes. His legs were trembling because of fear, and his voice was full of despair. “It’s him, he’s Back!”
