Chapter 453 (1/2)

That four meters high two-legged monster didn’t even have time to scream, both of its eyes instantly lost their l.u.s.ters; and as if all of its life force had been sucked dry, it fell down and died half of a meter away from Chu Yunsheng.

Instant kill!

Everything happened within a split second. Despite the village chief’s eyes being wide open, he still didn’t know what happened, because human eyes had their limits. But the small cloud of black fog that slowly floated from the forbidden land towards the monster in the next moment, gave the village chief some idea what had happened.

To the middle-aged village chief’s knowledge, the black fog was more deadly than anything, and it was not impossible for it to take the life of such a fierce monster in an instant.

But he still didn’t understand why Chu Yunsheng was not scared. Especially that after the black fog killed the monster, he didn’t even look at the body once. He just slowly limped out of the forest with the Elder Yu’s kid.

‘How can there be such a person living in the village that was 20 kilometers away from them!?’ the chief thought.

Although he still couldn’t figure out, he didn’t dare to stay here any longer. Who knows what kind of monster they would encounter later on, let alone that the gradually dissipated black fog was also extremely dangerous to him.

So he quickly gathered everyone together once again, and hurriedly left the place. Of course, they didn’t leave the body of the monster that had just died.

…

In the village below the broken mountain peak, two groups of people quietly arrived at a secret dried ravine one by one.

“Are you sure that it is this place?” said one of the cloaked people in the second group. At the same time, it quickly climbed up to the higher ground on the side, and gazed into the pa.s.sage that was in front of them.

“It can’t be wrong, Captain. Even if that punk is burned into ashes, my men are still able to trace him through their wind controlling ability…” the leader of the first group’s face was hidden under the cloak, but his tone was filled with respect.

“Then, what are you waiting for? He escaped under your watch, and then he was attacked by me once, so he is most likely heavily injured!” Captain Yi didn’t seem to be happy about the person’s arrangement at all. Her tone was filled with sarcasm.

“Captain Yi, you are sent down here by the people from the top, you don’t know the complexity of the people’s lifestyle at the bottom. People who live in this kind of colony would usually go out to search for food at this time. They would only return back to their colony at night time. The order that we received from the top is to eliminate everyone, so…” the leader of the first group had clearly sensed the sarcasm in the woman’s tone. But he didn’t dare to get angry. Instead, he explained respectfully.

Speaking of Captain Yi who was unexpectedly a.s.signed to a.s.sist this operation, the first group leader had heard some rumors about her. It was said that her talent was accidentally discovered by a big influential figure while the big influential figure was on an inspection tour. And the big influential figure seemed to have a sign of wanting to train her personally.

That influential figure’s request was not something that he would want to treat it lightly with. With that influential figure’s power, killing him and wiping his entire family out of this world was just as easy as saying a word. Many people said that that influential figure was once the follower of that legendary man. Although no one knew if that legend was real or not.

But he didn’t want to take that risk. Even if it was just a rumor, he would want to treat it carefully and seriously.

“Hmm…” the woman frowned and looked at the broken mountain peak. “You are right. I didn’t think it through.” the woman nodded her head and said.

“With your intelligence, you will grasp it very quickly. This is just a small thing.” Captain Jia didn’t dare to show any sign of arrogance. Instead, he complimented the woman despite the fact that the woman’s rank was clearly below his.

The woman let out a dried laugh and stopped talking. She turned around, leaned against the dried ravine and closed her eyes to take a short break.

They had been chasing the traitor for three days. They didn’t even have time to take a break. Although she was tired, she was more concerned about the order. If she couldn’t complete it, she would not be able to imagine the disappointment and the anger of the people from the top.

After a while, the third group that was also in the black cloak also appeared in the ravine and met up with the other two groups.

“They are back!” Before the third group was able to take a break, Captain Jia suddenly said sternly.

…

Chu Yunsheng didn’t recognize the road, so he stopped and waited until the village chief walked past him. The girl in his arms had already woken up, but since he had already learned that his appearance was very scary, he didn’t want to speak to the girl to make her anxious.

Despite that, the girl’s body still became extremely stiff as soon as she discovered that the ‘monster’ was holding her. Although she knew that all the adults and kids from her village were near her, she still closed her eyes tightly and didn’t dare to look at Chu Yunsheng. Every skinny muscle in her body clenched with anxiety as Chu Yunsheng limped slowly.
