Chapter 246 (1/2)

Chu Yunsheng raised his head to find whose voice it was. Then, he saw the one-armed man was with a dark-skinned burly man, who seemed to have lost one of his eyes. There was a piece of cloth wrapping obliquely around the man’s head covering his injured eye. It made the man look even more intimidating.

The man looked at Chu Yunsheng from top to bottom for a few seconds, then said without any emotion, “old man, I respect that you are an elderly person, but I have to tell you that anyone who tells lies in this place will not end up good.”

Chu Yunsheng smiled, “lying or not, you will find it out soon.”

The man said loudly, “okay! Old man, I’ll trust you this time! You two can temporarily stay here for one night, and don’t worry about your safety, and also I’ll get someone to send you some food! But let’s agree on something first, if you found your students, I need your students to kill a person for me. How is that?”

Chu Yunsheng held the little boy’s hand and said, “if they deserve to die, then they will be killed!”

The man wanted him to be a killer in exchange for the safety just for one night, the price seemed to be too high. But then again, he just came here, he didn’t know the situation here, maybe to them, it was a fair price.

The man didn’t seem to be happy about Chu Yunsheng’s answer. His face suddenly dropped and he suddenly spat on the ground, “every f.u.c.king person here deserves to die!” the man was staring at the little boy, gritting his teeth and said coldly.

Chu Yunsheng felt that the boy was scared by the man’s words, his little hands were grasping his hand tightly.

The man slowly returned back to his calm expression, then he patted the one-armed young man’s shoulder very hard and said gruffly, “San Fazi, help me to look after those two tonight, I’m giving you a chance now, so treasure it!”

The one-armed man approached bother Kui and whispered in his ear, “brother Kui. you know that I will never lie to you, but those two…? You really believed them?”

Brother Kui sneered, “Look at that old man, on such a cold day, he didn’t even get frostbite! Do you think that is normal? Look at his clothes, although they look old, they aren’t dirty. Does he look like a refugee to you? And his grey hairs, at his age, he didn’t seem to lose any hairs, do you think that’s not strange?”

“Brother, your eyes are really sharp! I learned something new from you again!” San Fazi complimented.

Brother Kui raised his eyebrows in disdain, and then said to Chu Yunsheng again, “old man, I have things needed to sort out, we will talk more tomorrow, please excuse me.”

Although those two people were whispering to each other, Chu Yunsheng heard every single word they said clearly, and it instantly made him break out in a cold sweat. He thought that since he had changed his appearance, no one would be able to notice anything, but he didn’t expect that even a burly man outside the castle would notice three strange areas on him!

“Take your time,” Chu Yunsheng replied respectfully while thinking how to cover those three areas up.

After the dark-skinned man left, Chu Yunsheng followed San Fazi to his shack. The shack was just outside the castle, so the refugees outside the castle hardly ever encountered any monsters or insects. However, humans were far more dangerous than monsters in this kind of situation.

“Uncle, is this human flesh?” Yuan Qiyang was scared after he saw the meat San Fazi pa.s.sed to him.

“You wish. You think you can eat human flesh? This is the monster’s meat, our brother Kui doesn’t eat humans!” San Fazi said proudly.

“Then, how do you guys survive?” Chu Yunsheng moved a few pieces of wood in the campfire and asked.

“Working for the people in the city!” San Fazi replied.

“Working? Those people outside the castle are still useful to them?” Chu Yunsheng was confused.

“Sorry, sorry, I forgot that you two are new here,” San Fazi deftly skewered the meat and put it on the campfire to grill it, then he said, “see those floating mountains? Those are truly incredible things. Think about it, such big mountains and they are floating in the air just like that? How much power does it require to support them from floating!”

He spun the skewers, swallowed hard while staring at the skewer, after a few seconds he carried on, “You probably don’t know that it is because of a type of rock that those mountains can float like that. This kind of rock looks just like ordinary rock, if it was during the age of light, you probably wouldn’t look at those rocks twice. But now it suddenly became many people’s treasures. Just take this castle as an example. Before, the most frequent missions for the people who live in the castle was to collect those rocks.”

“What about now?” Chu Yunsheng unconcernedly asked. It was the first time for him to hear someone talking about the mechanism behind those floating mountains.

“Now? We have to thank one person!” San Fazi replied.
