Chapter 394: Because We Have One Person

"Let's change places and continue!"

Shen Yu, having rested for quite a while, immediately decided to find a place to continue. This way of "shearing the sheep" was simply too satisfying, making it somewhat addictive.

Once he killed a few more old monsters and signed in a few more times, he wouldn't be afraid even if the Spirit Qi surged again and those even more terrifying old monsters awakened.

However, when he tore through space and arrived at another location, there were unexpectedly people in the distance.

He had just chosen a direction at random and didn't know where he had arrived. Since there were people here, he wouldn't stay.

Shen Yu immediately prepared to leave and change locations; it was precisely because the battles between him and those old monsters could not affect ordinary people that he had chosen the wilderness.

If people nearby were affected, that would not be good. So he decisively changed locations; it wasn't as if he had to be here.

"Father, they're all dead, everyone is dead!"

"You were right, they actually cut open people's flesh and blood to plant Seeds in their bodies. I even thought you were crazy back then; Father, you weren't crazy, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"When the flowers bloom and bear Fruit, those people are already dead, all their flesh and blood used to nourish that Seed!"

"I saw them turn into a pile of white bones in a very short time, the flowers on the white bones enchanting, those bright red Fruits the same color as blood."

Kneeling before the grave mound, a young man wept uncontrollably, his desperate and somewhat hoarse voice carrying far away, which also made Shen Yu stop in his tracks.

"Father, I didn't listen to you, I was just too hungry and could only obey them. Now a Seed has been planted in my body too; I will be found by them, harvested by them."

"Father, I didn't believe you before, but now I do, yet your son is incompetent; I have no strength to truss a chicken and cannot resist at all."

Kneeling beside the grave mound, the young man's tears flowed profusely; his appearance did not look like a man's, but rather like a helpless and fragile woman.

"But I don't want to die, and I don't want to turn into a Seed; that's too terrifying, I still remember their wails before they died!"

"A living person turned into white bones in just a dozen breaths, all their flesh and blood sucked dry. I don't want to become like that, I don't want to!"

Speaking to this point, the young man tremblingly picked up the kitchen knife from home he had brought with him and gestured at his own neck.

Then, hardening his heart, he held it against his neck, as if he were a brave warrior facing death as a return home.

"Father, our family will be together again, I'm coming to find you!"

The knife was held against his neck for a long time, but the young man still dared not let it fall; he feared death and he feared pain.

At this moment, he felt like a piece of trash, not even daring to commit suicide.

Glancing at a large tree nearby and gauging the height of a branch, the young man moved several large rocks from the side and piled them together.

Then, standing on the rocks, he untied his belt and draped it over the branch.

He used his hand to test if the belt was sturdy, then the young man closed his eyes and resolutely stuck his head through.

Finally, he exerted a little force with his feet, and the rocks beneath him were kicked away. A feeling of suffocation followed, and he struggled instinctively; this was the human body's instinct for survival.

But just at this moment, the belt around his neck suddenly tore, and he fell straight down, landing with a grimace of pain.

Looking at the belt broken in two in his hand, a bitter expression appeared on the young man's face.

"What kind of world is this, is it that even dying is not allowed!"

Resentfully throwing the belt in his hand to the side, the young man then grabbed the kitchen knife from home again and held it against his neck.

Today, he was determined to die.

Just as the young man was about to grit his teeth and swing the knife to meet his death, it was suddenly gripped by a hand, scaring him into a shudder.

The knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his whole body trembled even more.

"Don't take me away, I won't go back, I won't go back!"

The young man struggled desperately, wanting to break free from the other person's hand. The reason he chose to commit suicide was precisely because he didn't want to become the sight he had seen.

He feared death; if it were possible, he would certainly want to live well. But he feared even more becoming like those people he had inadvertently seen, instantly turning into white bones.

A plant of unknown origin first grew on those people's bodies, and once this plant grew out, it would bloom with enchanting flowers.

And after that, it would begin to bear Fruit. And the process of bearing Fruit was the process of the person being rapidly sucked dry, until finally turning into a pile of white bones.

From the blooming of the enchanting petals to the bearing of Fruit, it only took a dozen breaths. In just a dozen breaths, those people turned into piles of white bones.

Those scenes, those wails filling his ears, were still vivid in his mind; as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see that scene.

He felt as if the Seed in his body had already sprouted, and his whole body seemed to feel an intense itch at every moment, stimulating him to the point of near madness.

He felt that the day the Seed sprouted and bloomed in his body was not far off, and it was precisely because of this that he had snuck out to die before his father's grave.

"I am not one of those people you think I am, you don't need to be afraid!" Although he didn't know what the other person was talking about, it still successfully piqued Shen Yu's interest.

However, the young man at this moment was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, panicked and uneasy, his whole being left with only fear and terror.

"Be quiet for a moment, be quiet!" Patting the other person, Shen Yu's power slowly merged into the other's body.

Inside his body, Shen Yu truly discovered a Seed; this Seed had already taken root at his heart. Moreover, it was absorbing his energy to continuously grow and strengthen.

This process would be very fast; perhaps in a few days, this Seed would break through the flesh and emerge.

Feeling the warm and gentle power coming from his body, the young man also gradually calmed down, looking at Shen Yu with some suspicion and uncertainty.

If it were those people, it would be absolutely impossible to be as easy to talk to as Shen Yu, let alone use power to nourish him.

They would definitely drag him back roughly, or simply kill the disobedient him with a blade.

And the next moment, the young man opened his eyes even wider in terror. Because in Shen Yu's hand, there appeared a plant that had already taken root.

This plant was exactly the same as the ones he had seen before, only this one hadn't bloomed, let alone borne Fruit, looking like the kind that had just started to take root.

Moreover, he had clearly seen just now that this plant was pulled out from his own body by this young man before him.

At the same time, he felt as if his body's chronic illnesses had all been cleared away, and an unprecedented feeling of lightness surged into his heart.

Before, he had felt as if something was pressing on his heart and his body was becoming weaker and weaker; at this moment, it was as if the thing pressing on his heart was gone.

"Hero, thank you Hero for saving me, thank you Hero for saving me!"

The young man immediately reacted, kneeling before Shen Yu and kowtowing to thank him incessantly.

He had thought he was doomed to die, which was why he had committed suicide outside his family's ancestral grave; he was afraid that if he died, no one would collect his corpse, so he simply died here.

But he hadn't expected a turn of events at the end; this was his father protecting him, the Lao Yang family was not meant to perish.

"Can you tell me, what exactly has happened?"

"Great hero, there is a Seed inside a person's body; it will take root and sprout, it will blossom and bear fruit, and it will take a person's life!"
