Chapter 388

The Death of Zhang Jizu?

Squinty-eyes was dead.

To everyone's surprise, just as they were preparing to sneak out of the church underground to pick up Tulading, before they even left the door, Zhang Jizu, who was walking behind everyone, fell to the ground without any warning.

Cheng Shi, walking beside him, caught him with quick reflexes. But when Cheng Shi saw Zhang Jizu's flesh and vitality wither instantly, and his whole body turn into a skeleton wrapped in skin, his pupils shrank, and he immediately gripped his ring.

Tian Xie, with his keen five senses, was the second to notice the anomaly. He turned his head sharply, eyes widened in disbelief, and quickly took out his Arc of Time, drawing circle after circle of 【Time】 mire traps around everyone.

Gou Feng frowned and knelt on one knee. He gripped Zhang Jizu's hand tightly, his face dark and ugly.

"The vitality is broken. He... is dead."

As soon as the words fell, a chill shot from Gao Ya's tailbone to the top of her head. Her body stiffened, and she immediately looked around, clenching her fists tightly. She opened her mouth and began a melody of calming and strengthening, pushing everyone's spirit to the most focused state.

"What's the situation? Brother Cheng, didn't you say the Scavenger was dead?"

"???" Gao Ya turned her head sharply to look at Tian Xie, asking in disbelief, "Really dead?"

Cheng Shi's face sank. Obviously, this was not the time to talk about any Scavenger. Mo Shu was undoubtedly dead, but the problem was, how did Old Zhang fall?

This doubt had just arisen when he thought of the answer himself. Cheng Shi's face changed drastically as he shouted "Bad," and then snapped his fingers, disappearing from the spot.

Seeing his "thigh" disappear, Tian Xie had a jolt and also thought of the reason. He gripped his weapon tightly and lifted his leg, wanting to chase after the place they had planned to go.

But just then, Gao Ya grabbed his hand and scolded:

"If you don't want to die, don't move around. A situation that can make a chosen gravedigger drop dead is not something we can participate in.

If you want to live, there's only one way: stay here, guard the gravedigger's corpse, and wait for the Fate Weaver to return.

Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you die outside."

Tian Xie was stunned, then his expression sank:

"Brother Cheng isn't a Fate Weaver, he's a Druid!"

"?" Gao Ya was so angry she laughed. What time is it, can your brain turn a little?

She felt like she was talking to a brainless idiot, and Tian Xie's subsequent reaction further verified her thought.

Tian Xie suddenly broke free from her hand, his tone serious:

"Even if we have to guard Brother Zhang's corpse, the two of you are enough. I have to go help. Brother Cheng blocked the greatest danger for me, yet I caused him such big trouble. No matter what, I have to go see.

If I can help, great; if not, at least I can be a pair of eyes for him!"

"Tsk, so in this trial, how many crises did you actually discover in advance? Are these eyes of yours blind?"

Tian Xie's face darkened, and he walked away with his head down.

Gao Ya saw she couldn't persuade him and cursed with a dark face: "Stupid, you will die."

"No, I trust Brother Cheng. He won't let me die. You guys guard well, I'm leaving!"

As he spoke, the little assassin also disappeared in a shadow shift.

After Tian Xie left, Gou Feng, with a face as dark as ink, sat on the ground and frowned tightly.

Gao Ya glanced at him and sneered: "I thought you were a man of loyalty, but I didn't expect to have misjudged you, letting a little assassin fool you.

He is a man of loyalty, but what about you, Chieftain? Why are you pretending to be weak?"

Gou Feng touched his head irritably and didn't answer.

He was far more terrified than the others because he still had the control means left by Zhang Jizu in his body. But now that the person controlling him was dead, what should he do about the thing in his body?

He didn't even know what this 【Death】 chosen one had put in him!

Gao Ya saw the Chieftain ignoring her and frowned slightly.

She didn't continue to ask, but walked to the side of Zhang Jizu's corpse, squatted down, and began to carefully examine his skin-and-bone corpse.

His cause of death was easy to identify; he was clearly drained of flesh and vitality by some weird means. But the question was, what kind of power could drain a chosen one's vitality so quickly in an instant?

She guessed some of it, but instinctively felt some fear and didn't want to get involved in this matter. However, the curiosity of 【Foolish】 still pushed her to continue observing Zhang Jizu, wanting to unearth some fresh and useful "knowledge" from his state of death.

And just as she was fiddling with Squinty-eyes's head, prying open his tightly closed eyelids with force, a pair of glaring, blood-colored pupils instantly entered her sight.

Those pupils seemed to be beating weakly; compared to eyeballs, they were more like two irregularly pulsing sacs, inside which seemed to be wrapped something struggling to break out.

Gao Ya's gaze froze when she saw this, thinking "bad," and she retreated backward at the first opportunity, but it was already too late!

The two pure red blood-ball eyeballs exploded in front of her without warning, and then countless blood-line worms, twisting crazily like earthworms, exploded in mid-air like ribbons, spraying Gao Ya all over her head and face.

Gao Ya was terrified and screamed, crawling backward with her hands and feet, but as she crawled, her eyes narrowed tightly.

Gou Feng's pupils shrank when he saw this scene. He was just about to get up when he saw the other party jump nimbly in front of him, pressing on his shoulder and making him unable to move, while frowning and saying in a low voice:

"Stay here, don't run around, deal with Borios well, otherwise, I'll sacrifice you to that lord."

After speaking, she narrowed her eyes, moved her body, and chased after the direction Tian Xie had just disappeared in, without any hesitation.

Gou Feng watched this "【Foolish】 believer" leave in terror, and his heart, which had almost stopped, began to beat again. He suddenly lost his strength and sat on the ground, discovering that his whole body had long been soaked in sweat.

"It's him!

Then what about Gao Ya...

She, died? Just died like that?"

He turned his head to look at the skeleton frame on the ground wrapped in tightly wrinkled skin, looked at the exploded blood-colored empty eye sockets, and swallowed his saliva in fear, retreating two more steps.

This is the chosen one of 【Death】!

Can he... really be killed?

On the other side.

When Cheng Shi saw Zhang Jizu fall to the ground, he felt that things had gone wrong again, and this accident was 99% likely to come from the target outside his field of vision, Tulading.

So he immediately arrived at Tulading's side through the never-lost gambling tool, but he was also one step late.

Because the moment Squinty-eyes fell, he should have realized that Tulading was already dead.

Tulading was indeed dead; she died in the cell prepared for her by the Brotherhood of Thieves.

Although this was a cell, its structure and decoration were no different from a hotel, except that it was buried deep underground at the edge of the city of Dorge-De and could not see the sun. Other than that, the living environment here was not much worse than a real above-ground dwelling.

And there were many such cells in this underground far from the ground.

Lisfeier was the one who brainwashed the children kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Thieves into new brothers in the Brotherhood here.

And at this very moment, a mother who was about to give birth to their new brother was dead.

Like Squinty-eyes, she died in the corner of this cell with no flesh or vitality.

When Cheng Shi landed and turned to discover Tulading's corpse, he was terrified and retreated a step involuntarily. The huge fear turned into nourishment and actually filled the Bone Servant Lele'er's ring directly.

"Fuck...

What the hell is this thing!?"
