Chapter 289 (1/2)

Location: The Giant Tomb In The Yellow Mountain Creep Area.

Chu Yunsheng was sitting next to Dark’s big and disgusting body slowly recovering his strength. Unlike the last time where he desperately tried to cut off the energy link, this time, Dark automatically stopped sucking his life when it felt that he was about to die. Probably it considered him as his master now, it treated his life as its first priority.

He guessed that his appearance must be very scary now. He didn’t even dare to take out the mirror to check. He was scared that he would not be able handle it.

From the time his life was sucked away, he learned that it would not affect his power, that was why he dared to do it again.

But this time, something else happened to his body and he didn’t think that he had read it anywhere in the ancient book before, or at least, the part which he understood didn’t mention it.

The strange thing was that after all of his active life energy was sucked away from him, his body seemed to have crossed over a strange peak point. All it left were those powerful Rong Yuan cells, and they were magically condensed together!

This surprised Chu Yunsheng a lot, it was like all the impurities were removed from his whole body, and his body became 100% made of Rong Yuan cells. The result of that was the energy flow inside his body became even smoother, quicker and even stronger!

Not only did he not feel that his body was weak, but he also felt like his body was filled with energy. Even when he just sat down, trying to recover himself, the speed of the recovery was like flying.

Something must have happened in his body, but he still didn’t know what it was.

Compared to the changes that happened in his body, Dark had successfully completed its transformation. Its control range was spread out like an explosion, covering the entire creep area and even towards the further places. All the insects in the swarm screeched excitedly when they received the signal from Dark.

All the insects were gathered together around the tomb that Dark was in as if they were there to wors.h.i.+p their new leader.

Chu Yunsheng also noticed Dark’s new skill. The information about the new skill that Dark pa.s.sed to him made him gasp in shock.

Its new ability was able to merge all the insects together into a giant creature by sacrificing its body.

But this was a one-off ability, a suicide-like ability. Chu Yunsheng could not test it. He could only rely on his own imagination.

Through the seal token, Chu Yunsheng ordered Dark to make a new cloaked man’s clone to help him to control the swarm.

Since Dark’s control range had already covered the entire creep area, the rest of tombs also transfer their controls to Dark. Chu Yunsheng quickly asked Dark to pa.s.s the order to all the tombs to breed as many insects as possible. He wanted to use the swarm as his main defence force.

When he walked out of the tomb, those aggressive insects all moved away to make a “clean” pa.s.sage for him to pa.s.s through, not a single insect dared to block his way.

If someone saw this exact scene, they would probably think that they were hallucinating…

Chu Yunsheng split up with the cloaked man’s clone. He wanted the clone to bring all the insects to the edge of the creep area and then wait there for his order. He himself went to the castle of Snowstorm.

He still wanted to try to “steal” Tan Ning. Only when he could not “steal” her, then would he consider using forces.

The spy’s shocking face reminded Chu Yunsheng once again that his appearance was scary when he met with the spy in the castle of Snowstorm. With the spy’s help, he quickly sneaked into the castle of Snowstorm without any problem.

The hazy s.h.i.+mmer in the sky was dimmer than usual. It was relatively darker everywhere in the castle. Chu Yunsheng took this opportunity and quickly approached the White Horsewomen Barrack.

He wanted to meet Xu Qingshu. If he wanted to secretly bring anyone out of the castle of Snowstorm, he needed her help.

The barrack was heavily guarded, so Chu Yunsheng had to wear his armour and use his fastest speed to dash into the barrack when the guards were changing their s.h.i.+fts.

He had stayed in the barrack for a while before, so he knew exactly where Xu Qingshu’s room was. In the dim light, Chu Yunsheng was quickly approaching Xu Qingshu’s room like a ghost.

…

Xu Qingshu was having a bad day today. The ice messenger had asked them to guard the inner castle, but the girl named Si Xing, who was standing next to her, puked all over her. No one knows who that Si Xing girl was messing around with, it got her pregnant, but that was not her problem. So all she did was to ask the castellan for a break.

When she came back, she immediately asked aunty w.a.n.g to prepare her a barrel of hot water. But just when she was enjoying her hot bath, a red shadow appeared in front of her all of sudden.

She was dazed for a second. When she realised what the shadow really was, the fear made her forget to scream again. She knew that dress. It was the fire messenger.

Apart from the ice messenger, no one was able to deal with this monster. But it was standing in front of her.

Fear had already replaced the shame and all other feelings she had. She was sitting naked inside the barrel, staring anxiously at the fire messenger, not daring to make a single move.

‘What is it doing here? If it wants to cause some trouble, it should go to the inner castle, not here! All the candidates are there!’

Xu Qingshu wanted to say it, but she did not dare to. Every part of her body was shaking nervously in the barrel, it even caused visible ripples on the surface of the water.

Chu Yunsheng did not know that Xu Qingshu would want to have a bath at this time. Although it was very awkward, he didn’t have time to wait outside and come back in again. Besides, he had already seen everything. He could not unsee it.

“I need you to do something!” Chu Yunsheng pretended that it was nothing and got straight to the point.

Xu Qingshu knitted her brows when she heard Chu Yunsheng’s voice. It was a voice she was familiar with, it was clearly not the fire messenger’s voice.

“Remember, your family is in my hand, so don’t make any sound!” Chu Yunsheng revealed his face under the cloak attempting to show his ident.i.ty. “You know me, my name is Yuan Hongxue. After Lei Ming died, all your secrets were handed to me. As long as you help me this time, I will give you freedom, I will give them all back to you,” Chu Yunsheng said sternly.

Xu Qingshu’s mind went blank at the moment when she saw the face.

‘Is he human or zombie!’

All the areas on his face were sunken. His dry and lifeless facial skin was attached to his bones. Two eyeb.a.l.l.s looked like they were just hanging in his skull, and they might fall out anytime. With a skull-like head, plus only a few grey hairs on the top of his head, she could only use “horrifying” this word to describe his appearance.
