Chapter 2756. Butchering the Flock of Sheep
Han Sen looked around and remembered that he was on an endless grassy field. There was nowhere to hide. So instead of attempting to flee, he reduced his presence to hide inside the flock of sheep.
The nine white unicorns descended to the field, swooping down elegantly until the carriage touched down on the grass. Han Sen hid within the flock of sheep, but he kept his eyes pinned to the door of the carriage. He wondered what sort of scary being might be lurking within. It had to be something fierce if it was scaring the sheep this much. None of them dared to run, and they all remained rooted to the ground, shivering and shaking.
The nine unicorns finally came to a halt, and a drawn-out creak sounded as the door of the carriage opened. A small figure descended from the carriage, and Han Sen’s brow furrowed. The person coming out of that carriage was a little girl. She looked to be no more than ten years old.
“The scary being that the sheep all fear cannot be this little girl, surely.” Han Sen didn’t take his eyes away from the carriage. He believed another creature would emerge behind the girl. She must be a servant or slave of some kind.
But the carriage now seemed to be empty. The little girl was the only one to come out, and in her hands was a sharp knife. She moved toward a flock of sheep.
Han Sen turned his attention back to the girl. Her body was undoubtedly that of a child, but for some reason, something about her eyes seemed a bit mature for her age.
“Is she a Sky?” Han Sen felt the presence of the girl, and he noticed there was a mark on her forehead. She might have been one of the Sky. Either that or she was a Very High. Although there were large cultural differences between them, in terms of simple physicality, the two races were practically the same. The Very High simply had purer blood.
The girl lifted the sharp knife before the flock. She reached out her hand towards a sheep’s head and sighed. “Little sheep, little sheep. I have no choice but to do this. If you ever seek revenge, come for me. Don’t take out your rage on someone else.”
After that, the sharp knife in the girl’s hands was thrust forward. It slid straight into the heart of the sheep and killed it in a single strike. Blood dribbled across the hilt of the knife and gushed from the new cavity in the sheep’s chest.
