Chapter 33: The Giant Eagles
Xiao Yu stood up with a serious expression on his face and said calmly, “Don’t panic; explain what happened clearly.”
Jin Shi swallowed his saliva, took another deep breath and said: “A party of three of our people was established at the time to monitor the surrounding area; they finally headed west, where the accident occurred. They were attacked, and two were killed while one got injured. According to the person who escaped back, the attacker was Wang Yunfei!”
Jiang Xiaowen exclaimed, “He actually came back to life!”
“Wait.” Xiao Yu said calmly, “It is too early to draw any conclusions. There are several ways of reviving the dead, after all. Some exceptionally rare and valuable magic items, for example, have the ability to postpone death or even revive the dead. However, these precious artifacts are mythical treasures that can never appear in this forest. It is also possible to become an undead, but turning into one of the undead tribe requires a special opportunity and a unique environment, and it takes a long amount of time to transform. This place obviously does not meet those conditions.”
Han Kexin thought for a while and asked in confusion, “Since neither of the two situations is viable, what is the real reason?”
Xiao Yu cast his eyes on Jin Shi and asked, “Did Wang Yunfei have any particular traits or changes when he appeared?”
Jin Shi nodded his head, “Yes, according to the statement of the one who fled, Wang Yunfei’s appearance has changed significantly, and a large portion of his body has been deformed and alienated. His speed rose exponentially, and those two victims were almost instantly taken down.”
Xiao Yu frowned and paused for a minute before responding: “I believe he is indeed dead. However, it is still unclear why he came out to kill our people. Let’s go to the scene and see for ourselves.”
Under Jin Shi’s lead, several individuals rushed to the site of the incident, which was encircled by Wang Chao and others. The two victims were fifty meters apart, and the grass was stained red with blood. One of them was someone Xiao Yu knew perfectly well; it was actually the yellow-haired hooligan who was bothering Jiang Xiaowen back then. This kind of scum was an unstable factor for the team. Xiao Yu had long desired to eliminate him. He just had never been able to find a good motive or opportunity to do so. He really had no idea that Wang Yunfei would provide him with so many treasures during his lifetime and resolve this issue for him after his death. His mouth curved into an ironic smile.
