Chapter 554 - 478: Funeral for the Living
They huddled together in this part of the forest, like prisoners waiting for their final judgment.
Faced with an unknown future, the True Believers were in a state of panic.
At that time, the sect’s Priest who had been unconscious for two days and nights finally awoke.
This could be seen as a spark of hope amidst despair, or perhaps it was just adding insult to injury.
Thanks to the utmost healing efforts of the True Believers, the gravely injured Priest finally regained consciousness.
Their frantic hearts at last welcomed a moment of peace.
In those days, the True Believers had exhausted all means in their struggle for survival. They used the Ancient Language to heal the wounded, bandaged their wounds, lit torches, and set traps around to prevent the approach of wild beasts. The revival of the sect’s Priest was undoubtedly good news, like a gleam of dawn in the deep darkness.
But how long could this glimmer of dawn last?
On the second day after the sect’s Priest awoke, an aftershock occurred.
The ground shook violently, and the sounds of collapsing came from all directions. Although it didn’t cause any casualties to the sect, it instantly pushed their fear to the brink.
Death seemed to be warning them not to leave this place recklessly, to await their fate obediently.
