Chapter 61
The middle-aged man started to panic when he realized that they only had three people left. He quickly ca up with an idea and shouted, “this man has killed three of our n, he must have reached his limit, we still have three people, we will definitely win!”
However, he didn’t know that Chu Yunsheng’s Yuan Qi was so dense that the attack had only consud half of his Yuan Qi volu. It was not difficult for him to kill three more people at all.
Three people imdiately charged towards Chu Yunsheng, but Chu Yunsheng only focused on the middle-aged man, ignoring the rest of the people’s attacks.
Fire elental warriors’ defence wasn’t very strong, so Chu Yunsheng’s sudden lunge attack broke his defence straight away. The sword was stabbed straight into his chest. His eyes were wide open as if he couldn’t believe what happened even after he died.
When the other two people saw their leader was killed, and their attacks didn’t seem to injure Chu Yunsheng, the thought of retreat started to erge from their mind. They stepped back instinctively while Chu Yunsheng’s sword was in their leader’s chest.
The combat armor was already broken. There was a huge crack on it, if they carried on attacking him, they could easily injure Chu Yunsheng. However, they decided to run away!
They did what they shouldn’t have done in a battle, which was to leave their backs to their enemy.
Chu Yunsheng easily caught up with one of them and stabbed the sword into his back. He then quickly pulled the sword out and headed towards the last one. However, when he stabbed the second one, a strange thing happened.
The last man’s ability was very strange. His ability was like the “Steel Beast”, who he heard when he was still in Shen Cheng city. The man’s defence was unusually strong. Chu Yunsheng had hacked down the sword several tis, but it still didn’t kill him, although the man’s body was shaken by the sword’s hack and it caused the man to constantly throw up blood.
Chu Yunsheng was shocked, but he did not stop. He continued to infuse Yuan Qi into the sword until the power of the sword reached its peak point. Only when he used all his strength to hack down the sword three tis did he finally but only chop off the man’s arm.
The man was begging for rcy, but Chu Yunsheng had already lost his mind. He kept chopping the guy continuously until he died completely.
Yao Xiang also dealt with the guy, who had fallen off the roof. After Chu Yunsheng walked over the bodies and approached the edge of the roof, he signaled Yao Xiang to go through the back door of the building and attack the rest of the group from the ground floor. He himself would attack from the roof. He wanted to finish them all because he had no sympathy over those cannibalistic monsters.
When Chu Yunsheng reached the stairs, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the dead body of the strange awakened warrior. All of sudden, he had a strange idea. He has always been using absorption talismans on dead monsters, but he never once thought of trying them on awakened warriors.
According to the professor Sun’s explanation on that day, he felt that awakened warriors’ energies were definitely the Yuan Qi that the ancient book ntioned, and the ability of the warrior he had just killed was exactly like the tal elental ability that the ancient book described.
Thinking of this, he took out an absorption talisman and tried to use it on the dead strange awakened warrior’s body. As he expected, a stream of golden gas slowly flew towards the absorption talisman until it beca two golden patterns on the absorption talisman.
“As I expected, absorption talismans can be used on dead awakened warriors, and this guy’s ability belongs to tal elent, which is a relatively rare elent!”
If he could absorb Yuan Qi from the tal elental warrior guy, that ant he could also absorb energy from the ice elental and the fire elental warriors, so he took the absorption talisman and started to go around the roof to absorb Yuan Qi from the rest of the bodies.
Soon, he filled up two absorption talismans. With just the leader’s body alone, it provided him four units of fla patterns!
The way of absorption talismans absorbing Yuan Qi from a dead body reminded Chu Yunsheng of an imaginary martial art technique called “Xi Xing Da Fa”(1), it was a technique that used to suck and obtain the power of people when they were still alive.
Unfortunately, level-two absorption talisman could not absorb energy from creatures that were alive. Otherwise, it really was “Xi Xing Da Fa”
But luckily, he found another way to replenish his energy, so in the future, he would not need to worry about he would be exhausted with Yuan Qi.
Then he stored the absorption talismans and went down the stairs. In terms of the three awakened warriors’ bodies on the ground floor, he decided to absorb their energy later.
When he just arrived on the third floor, the floor that was originally used as the resting area of the club, he heard a shaking voice, “please don’t kill ! I will give you everything!”
Then he saw Yao Xiang throw a few people, who were about to run down the stairs to the ground.
“None of them are awakened warriors. They are all here. I didn’t lose a single one of them,” Yao Xiang said to Chu Yunsheng after he saw Chu Yunsheng.
Apart from those people, in a bar next to them, there were around eight young won that were tied together. Chu Yunsheng suspected that those people were probably their “food”.
The shaking voice ca from a man with an unshaven face. After he saw both ways were blocked by Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang, he imdiately began to search sothing in a panic while begging, “please don’t kill us, we are just ordinary people, we are not the awakened warriors like boss Jiang.”
Just right after he said that, he pushed a barrel towards Chu Yunsheng and said nervously, “this is all our food, you can take it all, please don’t kill us. oh... also... boss Jiang also got alcohol, let get it for you.”
Before Chu Yunsheng had a chance to respond anything, he quickly ran back to the bar and desperately tried to find sothing behind the bar while mumbling, “I rember that it was here...”
He was so nervous that he did not even notice that his hand had been punctured by a broken drawer. He just kept looking for the alcohol he ntioned as if that thing was going to save his life.
Chu Yunsheng looked at the things inside the barrel. It was a pile of white at. Seeing this, he imdiately thought of the information he received about those thugs, ‘those people were eating the human flesh...’
He instantly felt a sudden sickness. If he hadn’t been used to seeing so many dead bodies, he would’ve probably vomited already.
After the unshaven man kicked away a woman, who had climbed over the bar counter in a panic in frustration, he kept searching for the alcohol.
Eventually, he found a bottle of alcohol with a blurry label. He was so happy that he lifted up the alcohol and shouted, “I found it, I found it!”
But when he saw Chu Yunsheng’s cold face, and his eyes were still staring at the white at inside the barrel, he imdiately realized sothing and hurriedly ran over to Chu Yunsheng.
However, he tripped over himself and fell to the ground, but it didn’t slow down his speed at all. He was crawling towards Chu Yunsheng as fast as he could, and said hurriedly, “boss... this isn’t human flesh, really! If you don’t believe , I can show you.”
“The rumor was intentionally spread by boss Jiang. He wanted to intimidate strangers so we could be safe here. The half-human bodies you saw outside, were all eaten by monsters. We just hang them there to scare people away,” he then grabbed the at and tried to eat it as if that was the way to prove the at wasn’t human flesh.
Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows, and said coldly, “if it isn’t human flesh, then what is it?”
The unshaven man answered hurriedly, “boss, no one dared to eat human flesh, we are not crazy! That at ca from the monsters on the trees outside this building. They were caught by boss Jiang and his group, one monster is enough for us to eat for several days. This monster is the only thing we found that is edible.”
The rest of the people also nodded their heads and said, “yes... Yes... they are the monster’s at”
The unshaven man worried that Chu Yunsheng still didn’t believe him, so he pointed at the won that were tied together and said, “boss, as long as you let go, I will tell you everything I know. Those won were caught by Boss Jiang. If he liked them, he would keep them for days for his own pleasure. If he did not like them, he would rip off their clothes and use them as the bait to lure those at worms.”
This was the first ti for Chu Yunsheng to hear soone using humans to lure monsters, and it seed like it was a type of monster that he had never seen before.
The unshaven man left the bottle of alcohol in front of Chu Yunsheng and said, “if they were not well-behaved or boss Jiang lost interest in them, boss Jiang would strip them naked, and then let Doctor Ding stitch bombs inside their stomach. Then we will hang them on the trees outside the building.
They wouldn’t die imdiately, and the more they struggled, the more easily those at worms would be attracted by them. The bombs were infused with so kind of energy by those awakened warriors. As long as the worm ate those bombs, the energy would unleash a fla to trigger the bomb. Usually, it would severely damage the worm, then boss Jiang and his group would attack the monster together and try to kill the at worm. Once they killed it, they would store its at as food.”
After the unshaven man then dragged out a neat and clean man, he pointed at a corner of the room and said, “this is Doctor Ding, those are the equipnt Boss Jiang got from a nearby hospital, it is used to stitch energy bombs. I and two other people are responsible for making the bombs.”
Just when he said this, his eyes suddenly appeared a flash of happiness. He pointed to the won near them and said, “boss, if you keep us alive, we can still prepare the bombs for you, boss Jiang gave us a lot of materials, you could still use them. In terms of those won, if you like them, you can keep them, if you don’t like them, I will show you how to catch the at worms. If you don’t mind, could you also spare so at to us... we don’t want a lot... Just the amount that is enough to keep us alive. Then we can carry on working for you!”
