Chapter 452 (1/2)

“Little… girl… don’t be afraid. I’m not a monster.” Chu Yunsheng sat up slowly. Only after a while did he finally feel that he had regained the control of his body. He slowly reached out his hands wanting to pacify the first living person he saw after opening his eyes.

The bones that hadn’t moved for years were like rusty metals making cracking sounds as Chu Yunsheng moved. There was long white hair underneath broken armor in the gaps between his fingers. It was like a moldy bread surface.

But the most terrifying thing was not that, it was actually his five fingertips. All of them had extremely long and sharp long nails as if he was a zombie.

The little girl had never seen such a terrifying “monster” before. She screamed loudly, kicked her weak and thin legs, wanting to run away desperately. She feared that she would be pinched by Chu Yunsheng’s “zombie” nails.

Maybe Chu YunSheng hadn’t moved his body for a very long time, or maybe his consciousness had just come out of that unknown s.p.a.ce, his reaction was very slow. He could only see the little girl running past him in panic before he was able to pull her back. However, the girl was too scared, she tripped over again and fell down on the ground. Now her head began to bleed.

Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows and pointed Qian Bi sword against the ground. After letting out a short grunt, he slowly stood up and carefully made the first step.

Crack… crack…

As if a dried wooden stick was suddenly broken, Chu Yunsheng suddenly fell forward and tumbled towards the girl.

“Ah… get away from me…” seeing that the monster behind her began to ‘chase’ her, the little girl ignored the pain on her forehead and constantly kicked her little legs while slowly moving backward on the ground. She was clearly terrified.

“Huh!”

Chu Yunsheng converged all the remaining energy that he barely had in his body into his arm and forcibly inserted a Qian Bi sword into the back armor of a sea monster’s body, forcing his forward inertial movement to stop. In the end, he stopped at a place less than half a meter away from the little girl.

But the collision caused his body that had just been recovered slightly to make seemingly painful cracking sounds, as if it would be splintered into pieces even if someone touched it lightly.

“Do… not worry, uncle… uncle is not a monster…” Chu Yunsheng took a breath and said. He also deactivated his armor to reveal his human face.

Chu Yunsheng wanted to calm the little girl down by giving the girl a ‘friendly’ smile. However, he forgot that with his current appearance, no matter how he smiled, he still looked like a zombie.

The little girl was shaking uncontrollably. She desperately tried to escape from the monster’s hands by moving backwards on the ground with both her hands and legs.

She was too scared, she didn’t even notice the danger behind her. Before Chu Yunsheng was able to shout, she began to tumble downwards.

After a few seconds, all Chu Yunsheng could hear was a quiet banging sound, then he saw the girl pa.s.s out on the lower ground not far from him.

Chu Yunsheng let out a long sigh and thought. Once again, his good intentions end up being harmful…

At the moment, Chu Yunsheng had no strength to move his body. He could only take out an absorption talisman from the storage talisman, using the fastest speed to restore his energy. His body was really on the verge of collapsing. He didn’t think that he would be able to walk out of this pile of bodies without the help of Yuan Qi energy.

Fortunately, the Energy Gathering Talisman that he had cast on his body a long time ago was still working weakly. Otherwise, without the resupply of energy, the storage Talisman would have exploded already. Not to mention that all the things inside would be lost.

After a moment, the eyes of Chu Yunsheng began to have some lively l.u.s.ters. Although it was still cold and indifferent, it was no longer a pair of dead eyes like zombie’s.

He slowly moved along the bodies of strange sea monsters, carefully walking towards the girl with his stiff body step by step. He gently picked the girl up and simply handled her wounds with some of the things that he stored in the storage Talisman.

The little girl was supposed to be very light. Especially when Chu Yunsheng saw how skinny she was. There were just bones underneath her skin, no meat all.

But despite that, Chu Yunsheng still felt difficult to hold the girl in his arms. With the current situation of his body, he no longer looked like the world’s most powerful man who could move like a lightning bolt. Instead, he was like an old man who was slowly fading away.

…

Before the chief of the village had time to see the two bodies of the monsters that had been pulled out closely, he heard kids shouting in panic in the black fog.

Then, he saw the first kid running out of the black fog.

The second, the third…

Soon almost all the kids ran out of the black fog in panic as if they had seen ghosts.

‘It’s over!’ his face instantly dropped.

The food they had was not going to be enough to support them to go through this winter. And the kids could only get into the black fog once! It was over!

“Chief, look! The third daughter of the elder Wu’s family!” A young man pointed at a girl who had just run out of the black fog and shouted in surprise.

As he shouted, from the deep inside the forest suddenly appeared a horrifying screech. Just when the chief was about to say something to the young man that had just shouted, his eyes were suddenly wide open.
