Chapter 159 - 150: Panic Left and Right; East or West Undecided 2
Over two thousand!
Hearing this, everyone's expressions stiffened. Xie Lian glimpsed at Hua Cheng and said, "It seems it was the right choice to pick the west road."
That skull's teeth chattered, "Sigh! Either roads is a mistake, there's no path to go!
Indeed, for normal little minions, either direction was an obliteration disaster. No matter east or west, either could easily crush them; no matter which road they choose, the end result was blown to smoke and become fertilizer for others. After dry howling a few more times, the ghost fires in that skull's empty sockets gradually went out.
Xie Lian gently placed it down on the side of the road, "San Lang, do you know what the creature in the east is?"
"Can't be sure right now," Hua Cheng replied, "But it's still coming this way. Under the current circumstances, I don't recommend we face it head on. This one in the west is a little easier to deal with."
Xie Lian nodded, "Very well. Then we'll continue westward."
The group of them traversed through that field of corpses and hurried on their way. They walked all night but never ran into that black clad man the skull spoke of nor see any trace of the Rain Master, and Xie Lian couldn't help but start to worry.
As they journeyed, the houses and buildings alongside the roads increased in numbers, and soon, they could even recognize this was the impoverished slums, this was the theatre house for leisure, this was a general store, this was the backyard of a wealthy household... the road they walked beneath their feet were also paved by people, the patterns of the bricks could still faintly be seen. This was obviously a prosperous little town, only it was empty of the living, and strangely desolate and quiet.
There was an old well on the roadside, and when water was pulled up, the water was still relatively clean, and so the group decided to rest there for a bit. Xie Lian and Pei Su both drank a bit of water and washed their faces. When they looked up, Ban Yue had walkedover.
Ban Yue had been holding onto that black clay pot this whole time and had been waiting for a long time, "General Hua, Pei Su gege, eat something."
