Chapter 2461 (2/2)
The wound he had cut into the creature was the only place that Han Sen could see its flesh. He hesitated a bit, but he eventually decided to resume digging.
He had already come this far, so he couldn’t just give up now. That wasn’t his style.
Even if the creature was still alive, that didn’t matter to him. If it couldn’t get out of a mountain, it couldn’t have been too horrifyingly strong.
Han Sen used his knife to keep digging around the flesh. If he could dig away the rocks that covered it, he might be able to get a better view of the creature.
Han Sen dug for a while more, and slowly, the excavation site expanded. Eventually, he uncovered a scrap of yellow cloth. The body part Han Sen had wounded was actually a leg.
Han Sen could tell that the leg belonged to a woman. The pants certainly appeared girly.
Han Sen frowned, and he kept on digging. More and more parts of the being were starting to be revealed, and soon, Han Sen was able to confirm that it was indeed a woman.
He carved carefully into the rock, revealing the woman’s white feet. She was wearing yellow pants, and she had very long legs.
Her upper body was still inside the mountain, so he couldn’t yet tell what she looked like. But he couldn’t detect a lifeforce from her body. She was like a corpse.
But when Han Sen checked out the wound on her leg again, the cut appeared to have closed. And earlier, she had been bleeding. At this point, Han Sen had no idea if the woman was alive or dead.
Han Sen had a sudden and disturbing thought. He used all his strength to dig away the rest of the mountain. More and more parts of the woman became visible. When Han Sen dug her head out and got a look at her face, his eyes opened wide.
This woman looked exactly the same as the woman in the wooden house. Even a twin wouldn’t look this similar.
“What’s going on? Why is this woman buried here? If this woman is alive, then who is that woman in the wooden house?” Han Sen shivered as he thought of all this.
But when Han Sen removed the last of the rock that had held the woman in place, she showed no sign of moving. It really did look like she was dead. She wasn’t breathing, and she had no heartbeat.
But when he glanced at her face, she looked more at peace than anything. She looked as if she was softly asleep.
Han Sen examined the woman, but she didn’t look sick. She just didn’t seem to have a lifeforce.
Han Sen placed his power into her, but that quickly proved pointless. He couldn’t kickstart her lifeforce.
The locks on the stone book were still present, as well. So, Han Sen set the woman aside and resumed digging.
Han Sen dug steadily through the stone, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through. His hands were getting pretty sore, and he could hardly hold his knife anymore.
” Xie Qing King is far better suited for this sort of work. With his power, and him yelling ‘Alu alu alu!’ it would get done much faster,” Han Sen thought as he continued digging.
“Han Sen…” Suddenly, Han Sen heard someone call his name. He was about to answer, but when he opened his mouth, his face paled slightly. He quickly closed it.
The woman told him that if he spoke a word, he would die. There was no one here, anyway, so who could have possibly called him?
“Is it the body of the woman?” Still keeping his jaw firmly shut, Han Sen turned around to observe that woman’s body. When he was halfway through his turn, he froze.
The woman’s body had vanished.
“Han Sen…” The voice called out Han Sen’s name again. This time, it was right next to his ear, too. He even felt a soft wind tickle his cheek.
