Chapter 90: Joint Effort to Surround and Kill
The woodcutter was struck by this white light, causing his body to tumble a few times. With a hefty “thud,” he was flung against the left wall of the grand hall, making the Earth quiver slightly.
Shen Luo looked towards the woodcutter and couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cool air.
He saw the woodcutter had already turned over and was sprawled on the ground, his arms seemed to twist and warp as he propped himself up. His neck jutted out eerily, and his gruesome face was etched with pulsating veins. His eyes had turned scarlet, and drool dripped incessantly from the corners of his mouth.
The sight immediately terrified the convoy members, rendering them frozen in their tracks.
"Gurgle, Gurgle, Gurgle …”
The woodcutter emitted strange sounds from the depths of his throat. His body made continuous “cracking” noises, and his form was visibly enlarging at a rate that was detectable by the human eye. He eventually burst out of his clothes.
Shen Luo saw the skin that was exposed, it astonishingly held a greyish hue. Large patches of black, like markings of decay were blooming across the surface, it looked as though he had been dead for quite some time.
As his form continued to inflate, the skin tautened and swelled until with a “ripping” sound, from behind his back, it was completely torn apart. Revealing a grey-furred rat monster standing on its hind legs, which stood around seven or eight feet high.
This sight not only scared the convoy people but even the guards seemed somewhat flustered.
