Chapter 854: Someone Becomes a Saint, Xu Bai Leaves Seclusion
Zhao San stood rooted to the ground, his entire body feeling extremely cold. He did not know why, but even his fingers had stiffened.
It was supposed to be warm in this season, but he could not feel any warmth at all.
The bone-chilling coldness seemed to come from the inside and gradually spread throughout his entire body. The sound of water dripping behind him was getting closer and closer.
Zhao San’s stiff neck twisted, wanting to turn his head.
Normally, this action was very simple, but at this moment, it was extremely difficult.
He turned his head, only to his shoulders. His body followed suit, and he looked behind him slowly and dully.
Immediately after, the bone-chilling feeling became even deeper. Behind him, a figure was gradually approaching.
The sound of dripping water was coming from this figure. As he looked over, the sound became even more obvious.
As the figure got closer, Zhao San saw his true face under the hazy moonlight.
Zhao San felt his entire body trembling. His legs couldn’t help but tremble. He suddenly lost all strength and fell to the ground.
“Ghost…Ghost…”
At this moment, Zhao San’s face was filled with fear. He kicked his legs crazily and wanted to stand up, but he did not have the slightest strength.
The figure slowly walked over. Under the moonlight, his true appearance was revealed.
This person was dressed in the unique clothing of the Barbarian Race and had a strong barbarian style. However, his face and exposed skin were a mess of flesh and blood.
There were terrifying wounds on his body, and every wound was oozing bright red blood. The sound of dripping water just now was the sound of blood dripping on the ground.
His eyes were also covered in blood, but one could see a chill that made one’s scalp go numb.
The strange walking posture was very slow. With every step, his body would sway.
However, Zhao San was unable to resist at this moment. Although he had already recovered and could even get up from the ground to escape, he was still unable to do so.
However, he could not do that at all. The bone-chilling feeling was getting worse and worse, making his limbs stiff and unable to even bend.
“Help! Help!”
The cold feeling made him unable to shout even if he called for help. He could only keep repeating it as if he was begging for mercy.
The strange speed was very slow, but every step made Zhao San’s heart beat wildly. The distance between them kept closing, and the sound of blood dripping on the ground became more and more obvious.
Finally, under this extreme despair, he strangely arrived beside Zhao San. He slowly bent down and grabbed Zhao San’s shoulder.
Zhao San felt a pain in his chest. He subconsciously looked down and saw a strange arm pass through his chest, holding a bloody heart. The heart was still beating, but Zhao San’s consciousness was blurry.
Gradually, Zhao San lost all signs of life.
Strange released his hand and let the corpse fall from his hand. He staggered and walked towards another location…
The next day.
Heaven Inspectorate, Barbarian Tribe Branch.
This place was not like the capital, where a nine-story building was built. Although the building was very grand, it was not as exaggerated as the capital. At this time, Ying Yue was dealing with various memorials.
Some of these memorials contained detailed information about the major factions, some of them contained the arrangements made in various places in the land of Berserkers, and some of them contained important information.
There were many things that the Sky Supervisor had done, especially now that there were still some positions in the barbarian fief that were not complete, the burden on her was even heavier.
But just as Chief Master Mu had said, Shadow Moon indeed had a unique ability in this aspect. Even under such a heavy workload, she still did not lose control.
“After reading these memorials, in a few days, those vacant positions will be filled. There are still many things to do next.”
Shadow Moon thought as she watched.
Time gradually passed. When she finished reading the last memorial, she stretched.
“Today’s matter is almost over.”
Shadow Moon stood up, planning to walk around and exercise.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door. After entering in a hurry, he said hurriedly,” Sir, something has happened!”
Shadow Moon was stunned for a moment before returning to normal. She returned to her seat and sat down. Her tone became solemn,”What is it? Speak slowly.”
From the moment she took over this position until now, no one had said anything about anything. This subordinate was very anxious just now, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
The subordinate quickly calmed down.” The yamen reported that they found a corpse. This corpse seems to have been killed by a strange creature. There is still a strange aura around it, so they reported it to the Heaven Inspectorate and asked us to deal with it.”
“What?!” Ying Yue stood up abruptly, her gaze turning grave.”Have you sent someone over?”
The subordinate nodded.” It was handled immediately. Those in charge of investigation, those in charge of examining the corpses, and those in charge of combat, form a team. These are all allocated according to your instructions.”
“The efficiency is very fast. We even killed the strange one, but this strange one is a little special.”
“They are wearing the clothes of the barbarians. It is obvious that they became strange after the barbarians died in the previous war.”
“After all, so many people have died. Even if the probability is very small, some of them will become strange.”
Barbarians?
Shadow Moon frowned and imitated Xu Bai, rubbing her fair chin with her hand.
Actually, if it was just a Strange Beast, it would be fine to deal with it. After that, he would have to do his best to appease the families of the people.
