336 Food Approaches... (2/2)

It can do that too? Wang Baole was stunned. Then he recalled how the donkey had resorted to eating flowers and grass when it had been starving in the academy.

Clearly, the taste of the Blood Grass was much more delicious than rotting flesh. It picked up its pace as it ate, and grew more excited as it ate. Within a short span of time, it decimated all the Blood Grass in the crevice. Then, it bounced out happily and saw the spread of food awaiting him. The donkey shook with excitement and joy. It bounced a few more times happily.

”Son! Son!”

Wang Baole was overjoyed as well. He kept an eye on the donkey's frantic eating while slashing his way through the grass. However, he soon grew displeased. He realized that the donkey still had the energy to prance about while eating. He thought for a bit, then yelled suddenly.

”Scram, I won't let you eat all these good stuff. I'm going to cut them all down!”

Wang Baole picked up his pace and began furiously slashing at the grass. His angry shout and actions instantly sent the donkey into a panic. Its eyes reddened. It stopped fooling around and, with even greater speed, started eating up all the Blood Grass around him. It seemed to have gotten the hang of it after a while. After taking a bit, it would suck the rest of the Blood Grass into its mouth, roots and all, then move on to the rest of the Blood Grass.

The Blood Grass in the area soon diminished rapidly under the donkey's frantic devouring. Wang Baole was very pleased. He shouted again.

”You've gone too far. There is still a lot of delicious Blood Grass ahead of us. I'm going to destroy all of them!” Wang Baole yelled furiously. He pretended that he was about to charge forward. The donkey saw that and grew even more frantic. It howled and dashed out with a burst of speed. It raced straight into the tunnel and entered the patch of Blood Grass before Wang Baole, munching madly at the grass as it advanced.

Wang Baole followed leisurely behind the donkey, yelling once in a while and swishing about with his saber, displaying mock displeasure.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Wang Baole made his way smoothly through the tunnel. At the same time, Blood Grass and zombies also made their appearances in other parts of the tunnel.

They only appeared when there were cultivators around. There were some casualties amongst the cultivators. However, as members of the rescue force, the cultivators possessed significant battle capabilities and experience. Despite their shock and terror, most of them were able to protect themselves. They didn't suffer extensive injuries and were mainly trapped.

That persisted for a while… until then. In a part of the tunnel, a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator was surrounded by countless Blood Grass. A blood-colored silhouette appeared behind him soundlessly, without his notice.

It was a blurry figure, almost translucent. It inclined towards transparency most of the time, and its features were indistinct. From its height, it seemed to be a little boy.

As soon as he appeared, the zombies and Blood Grass around him shuddered faintly. They seemed to be terrified of the boy. The boy's eyes were filled with a cold, merciless flame that seemed like it could freeze all life.

The boy stared coldly at the trapped cultivator before him. He moved suddenly and passed through the cultivator's body.

The cultivator, who hadn't noticed a single thing, suddenly trembled. The light in his eyes faded as his vitality vanished that instant, and he collapsed to the ground.

He never saw it coming. Until the moment of his death, he hadn't seen the blood-colored boy who had passed through him and appeared before him. He didn't see the white ball of flames that had appeared in the boy's hand after he had passed through his body.

The boy flung the ball of fire into his mouth and licked his lips. He took a step and disappeared. When he reappeared, it was behind another cultivator who was trapped within a circle of zombies and fighting for his dear life. He didn't pause. He passed through the cultivator, and the cultivator shuddered and died instantly. The boy swallowed the ball of fire. He disappeared again, then reappeared and killed again.

He wasn't very powerful. In fact, he could be seen as weak. However, the cultivators were all unable to sense his presence. He seemed to possess a bizarre, natural ability that made everyone defenseless against him. He moved about like this was his home and killed a dozen men in this manner. The next time he reappeared, he saw before him a donkey munching at grass frantically and Wang Baole hollering at the donkey.

The boy frowned slightly when he saw Wang Baole. His nose twitched, and doubt appeared in his eyes. He pondered for a while and seemed unable to come to a conclusion. Frustration and annoyance began to color his eyes. He moved and dashed towards Wang Baole.

He was very, very fast. He passed the donkey, which was happily munching at the grass around him, in an instant. He ignored the donkey. It was then that…

Suddenly… the donkey's nose twitched. It seemed to sense food drawing near. Not just food, but very, very delicious food… It opened its mouth wide instinctively and twisted its head towards the boy. With startling speed, it snapped its jaws shut and sank its teeth in!
