Chapter 1528: Netherworld, Other Shore Flower 3
Something’s wrong.
She can no longer be described in terms of life or death.
What exactly is she?
Demon?
Corpse?
Zombie??
With her limited experience, Su Yan couldn’t discern exactly what this thing was.
She was standing amidst a pile of corpses.
All of them had been stripped of their faces.
She continued to move inward.
Making a circuit around the house.
She didn’t find a single living person.
She was preparing to leave.
Just then, in the corner under one of the bodies, something moved.
Followed by a faint cry for help.
"Help."
Su Yan paused her steps.
Standing there, not moving.
Then she saw a little boy crawling out from under the corpses.
He was covered in blood.
The boy was small, about eleven or twelve years old.
Kneeling on the ground, his face pale, eyes filled with tears.
"Sister, please, help me."
Su Yan blinked.
Then she took out some candy from her pocket, unwrapped a piece, and ate it herself.
"Do you know where this place is?"
She didn’t mention anything about the boy’s plea for help.
The boy nodded.
"This is Guling Village."
Su Yan asked again.
"Why is everyone dead?"
The boy shivered.
"Because, because a skinning monster came!.
She, she killed many people."
As he spoke, the boy trembled with fear and cried.
Hugging his legs, looking pitiful.
Su Yan asked again.
"How do I get out?"
The boy replied amidst his sobs,
"If you go west, there’s another village, but I’m afraid it might have been consumed by the skinning monster too."
Su Yan nodded.
"Okay, I’ll go take a look."
She finished speaking.
She turned around to leave.
The boy was stunned,
"Sister!! Please take me with you!"
He seemed to want to get up.
But his legs gave in, and he sat back down on the ground.
Continuously weeping loudly.
Su Yan looked at him and said,
"Are you sad or scared?"
The boy didn’t expect Su Yan to ask this.
He raised his head.
"Sister?"
Su Yan asked again.
"Are you sad or scared?"
The boy shivered.
"Scared, and also sad."
Su Yan glanced around, earnestly said,
"I don’t see much fear in you about them being skinned."
In the beginning, he just kept crying that they were all dead.
But, just looking at the scene before them.
The sight is terrifying enough to make one nauseous.
Yet he seemed simply sad.
Sad that they were killed.
Able to accept the dreadful state of these bodies quite strongly.
The boy looked as if he didn’t understand.
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
Su Yan pointed at his leg.
"Are you too scared to move, or can’t you walk?"
When he tried to get up, his movements.
The posture was quite graceful.
Uh... kind of like Little Red’s flamboyant S-shaped walk.
The boy lowered his head.
A chuckle escaped.
"Ah, I was found out."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The boy’s mouth suddenly split wide open.
His legs transformed into a snake’s tail.
"Hissssss"
He flicked his tongue and lunged at Su Yan.
Su Yan watched.
Not that she feared his combat strength.
Just that he looked like he might be venomous.
Then, she made a motion, flipping her wrist.
In the next second.
The snake boy, with a crash, revealed his venomous fangs biting into an icy, red and black patterned surface.
Then, whap!
The snake man was slammed down by a thick tail.
Before he could react.
Whap, whap, whap, the tail repeatedly struck, almost knocking the snake man unconscious.
