“I’ll go get the key You stay right here, don’tYu Lan hold tight onto the railing and stand at edge of the crow’s nest, near the net rope Thereafter, Luo Jian crouched down beside the remains buried under the sails and slowly reached out to remove the cloth
Under the piece of cloth was a disfigured corpse that was completely rotten; it was no different from the dead bodies inside those boxes Nonetheless, Luo Jian’s whole body sagged with relief the instant he saw this corpse “The guardian of the key is filled with deep loathing and enainst the both of you” That one sentence written on the note that Luo Jian read naturally ine all of the possibilities that could arise, such as the Stalker he unexpectedly encountered in the first chaave hiuard was down This kind of unanticipated attack was thethis horrendous, rotten corpse, Luo Jian breathed a sigh of relief instead He then began to search through the other’s pocket to find the key He couldn’t care less about the rancid stench or the squirots, as he had already become accustomed to such scenes when it came to these dead bodies In fact, he even beca cool-headed in such circuht not have been aware of this, Feng Yu Lan obviously felt an slight change in Luo Jian
Only under theand oppressive situations would an otherwise ordinary person instantly transform into a fierce soldier ouldn’t even blink an eye at the world’s destruction But whether this change was for the better or the worse was still unknown
Luo Jian’s fingers eventually touched the key hidden deep inside in the dead bodies’ pocket, but just when he was about to pull it out, so happened! Luo Jian didn’t have any tiht his arh his wrist!
Luo Jian’s widened his eyes in horror He gasped at the unbelievable sight of the dead body before hi! The carcass that was only a pile of bones, scraps of rotting flesh, bobbed its skull aardly and unsteadily rasped his ar sound!
Both Luo Jian and Feng Yu Lan cried out fro hell!”
Luo Jian started freaking out Distressed, he tried drawing his hand back, but unexpectedly, the strength of this skeleton astonished Luo Jian No ripped Luo Jian’s wrist At the saht glinted within those two bottoaze on Luo Jian
Luo Jian was overco the knife in one of his hands, he ruthlessly thrusted doards at the corpse’s ar out the ! It was as if he’d just slashed ile skeleton!
“What is this thing?! It’s so strong!” Luo Jian continued hacking at the body and constantlyand ferociously kicked at the corpse’s sto, the corpse persistently latched onto Luo Jian’s arm; still tenacious after death, it didn’t release its hold!
The dead body didn’t only grab Luo Jian’s arm; its other hand quivered and slowly approached Luo Jian’s hand, scratching at his fingers that rapped around the key It seemed to want to take the key back from Luo Jian
Luo Jian looked at the dead body’sadvantage of the corpse’s blind spot, he opened his fingers and let the key fall straight to the ground The corpse prorip on Luo Jian and kneeled on the platforish movements of a corpse be faster than Luo Jian? Luo Jian swiftly kicked the skeleton’s hand with his foot, bent down, snatched the key away, and i Yu Lan The key was nearly swept away by the powerful wind’s gust, but Feng Yu Lan ni to be instructed by Luo Jian, Feng Yu Lan quickly hopped down from the observation deck and stepped on the net rope to climb down
The corpse abruptly rushed over, and this ti Yu Lan placed one foot down on the net rope, it lunged forward and grabbed onto the corners of Feng Yu Lan’s clothes! Luo Jian was even more alert He darted and juth was i It turound with his foot But its bony hands still clung tightly to Feng Yu Lan’s clothes Feng Yu Lan was caught by it and was also dragged backwards!
Luo Jian didn’t stopYu Lan back with one hand, and he used his other hand, which held the knife, to skillfully cut the hem of his clothes that the corpse wouldn’t release
“Go down!” Luo Jian thundered at Feng Yu Lan and then fiercely lifted Feng Yu Lan and shoved hi Yu Lan shrieked in fright frorabbed the net rope as he fell, then furiously yelled at Luo Jian
“Ah! Luo Jian! Youand focused all of his attention on the dead body in front of him This corpse seemed to have realized that he wouldn’t be able to retrieve the key Co roar to Luo Jian, similarly to how beasts roared at their eneht towards Luo Jian!
Luo Jian knew this thing’s strength was great and its bones, hard Recklessly fighting it was futile The best option was to push it into the sea
The platforh, and the sea’s winds were powerful; with the wind, the probability of pushi+ng it down into the ocean was very likely Most of the flesh on its body was decoone, and all thatthat it was quite light, perhaps even lighter than half of the weight of an averagewinds, made it quite possible for it to be bloay
Luo Jian, who had made up his mind, tie of the observation deck, he forcefully kicked out his foot This action exhausted all of his strength, but as a result, the corpse was flung upwards The as still blowing strong, and it soon carried the dead body into the air But annoyingly, this hateful corpse, which obviously couldn’t be any, it suddenly stretched out its bony arms and clutched Luo Jian’s foot—well, more accurately, his shoe
“fuck!” Luo Jian only had tied down by the corpse, directly falling froside the other
In his daze, he see Yu Lan anxiously cry out his na the fall, Luo Jian abandoned his own shoe, and the corpse flew into the ocean with his shoe Unfortunately, Luo Jian’s wasn’t light at all, so he wasn’t blown into the waters by the sea breeze He dropped straight doards the deck! Luo Jian estih as the third floor of a building, so although he probably wouldn’t die from the fall, a couple of broken bones were inevitable
