11 The fucking damn assistan (1/2)

A horrible smell drifted through the air.

The northern part of the Endless Forest near Abun that was supposed to be very busy now with the hunt for the assistant was tranquil.

And he saw a group that completely ignored him in search of a 'beast.'

Zhu Tai was confused about thinking about these three things that seem to be interconnected.

”Huh?” Following the scent, which he could only describe as death, he soon found a trail of destruction in the trees as if something big or someone was thrown around too hard.

After walking slowly down the trail at some point, he realized that there was also blood on the broken branches and ground.

Arriving in an open area after the trail of destroyed trees, he saw a rock on the other side.

”Hey, you, what happened here?” On the stone was a person lying with his back to Zhu Tai. He appeared to be a man by his clothes, but Zhu Tai could not see his upper body as if he were hanging over the other part of the stone.

”Look at me yo-” When the man did not answer, Zhu Tai approached and pulled back the man by the belt. But what fell from the stone was not a man but half of one.

”What the fuck!?” Everyone would be alarmed to see a person torn in half with their insides still dripping on the floor. Or at least it was meant to be. But the 'beast' who did that found humans torn in half a beautiful view.

”What happened here? Who could do this? It must not be human. It can not be. That 'beast'?” Zhu Tai had seen a lot of things on that trip with Elder Xiong, but this bloody scene still made him very impressed. He couldn't imagine who would do that kind of thing, but then he remembered the 'beast' that the pretty girl talked about in the group that ignored him a few minutes ago.

”So they are ignoring me to kill this beast that is doing so much damage? Should I help them and forget about the competition?” Zhu Tai wanted Elder Xiong to be here as it should have been if he wasn't so lazy.

”Oh, Master... What kind of mess have you gotten me into?” Zhu Tai sighed, lost in thought.

So he left the half body on the ground and kept walking through the woods. Zhu Tai wanted to rediscover that group with the pretty girl to ask them about the situation, not giving more importance to the competition.

After walking for half an hour, Zhu Tai turned back instinctively with fear growing within his core.

”Crack” ”Creak” ”Whoosh”

Zhu Tai heard the sounds of trees breaking, and then a half-mutilated body came out of the bushes and flew past him, creating a trail of broken trees and branches like the one he had seen a while ago.

”Shit! Shit! Shit!” These were not words of Zhu Tai since he was already too scared to speak or even move. ”Run! Run!! Runnn you fool!!! The beast is coming!” Nero shouted as he ran from the trail left by the mutilated body toward Zhu Tai.

”Don't kill him so fast! This is the first Qi Refinement fourth layer Cultivator that we see in this shitty place. You should at least find out something about him before you rip his head off the body as you have done so much with others.” Sarah warned Nero that killing anyone who passes in front of him without thinking would only create problems on some occasions.

”You're lucky that I'm so good at improvisation,” Nero answered Sarah mentally.

Zhu Tai had a lot of confidence in himself because he went through many difficult battles and even fought wild beasts in the mountains surrounding this valley. But he always trusted to fight close to Elder Xiong, who took him as an assistant on this trip and was always protecting his life if something went out of his control.

Now in this forest that he thought was harmless roamed, a terrible murderous beast that left victims' bodies everywhere was very close, and he cannot help but imagine situations where he would end up very badly.

As his mind rushed free in strange thoughts, Zhu Tai snapped out of his trance, feeling a hand pat his shoulder. He looked to the side and saw the smiling face of the most beautiful and strange man he had ever seen. ”Why the hell does he have white hair?” Zhu Tai would think so if he was not so afraid.

”We have to get out of here, brother. Now!” Nero spoke warmly, and when Zhu Tai was about to open his mouth, Nero lightly squeezed his shoulder and continued.

”We have to run away from the 'beast' while he was devouring the others. I'm sorry for them, but I can't go back, and it wouldn't even help if I had the courage to go.” Nero bowed his head slightly as he spoke of the others, and Zhu Tai didn't miss a sadness in his eyes.

”The small details are the most important in acting. Make notes Sarah and one day you could be as good as me.” Nero spoke in his mind to Sarah while acting as the sad boy in front of Zhu Tai.

”You DON'T have to be so affectionate with him!!!” Sarah emphasized the denial as she didn't care to contain her jealousy.

”Alright, let's get out of here fast, and you tell me what happened.” Zhu Tai understood that that stranger could only escape the beast thanks to his friends who turned into food and distraction. But he was not going to judge anything because he would do the same. Zhu Tai thought that the most important thing for someone was their own life, and he did not consider himself a coward for thinking like this and would not think so of others either.

Zhu Tai ran in another direction with all the speed he could without even thinking that the stranger behind him could not follow at that speed.
