Chapter 351: Chapter 344, Si Duo’s Arm !
“I know, these are the undead, I’ve read about them in a book.”
“They’re dead people, they’re too terrifying, why are they here?”
“Let’s run.”
“We can’t run. If we leave, Teacher Adeline will be angry.”
“Then what should we do, these guys are too repulsive.”
“Kill them, just like those people who intruded before, I wonder if their bones would taste good.”
“Okay, I want to eat bones!”
The Fear Devourer stood in place, its eye on the chunk of at, incessantly scanning the skeletons and constantly chattering.
Just like children discussing a problem, they argued back and forth.
In the end, they reached a unanimous decision, to devour these strange bones.
Fang Hao watched with a frown.
Through the Fear Devourer’s conversation, he could also infer so information.
Apparently, a teacher nad Adeline asked this Fear Devourer to hide within this secret room underground.
This Temple Orphanage was really not so simple.
The Fear Devourer wiggled it’s body and began to launch an attack.
Without any hesitation, Fang Hao imdiately gave the order, “Attack, kill it.” The skeleton warriors that had already spread out started to launch an attack on the Fear Devourer.
“Spit acid!” One of the Fear Devourer’s mouths said.
Plop!
The rest of the mouths, took a deep breath and spat out a green, sticky liquid at the encroaching skeletons.
Blinding spit.
It was the Fear Devourer’s thod of attacking enemies. Targets that were hit would imdiately be blinded.
This would last for a while.
Such an attack was particularly effective in narrow, underground spaces.
There was simply nowhere to avoid it.
In the blink of an eye, the blinding spit was sprayed onto the skeleton warriors.
But, the bodies of the skeleton warriors only paused for an instant before they continued to attack the Fear Devourer.
The undead in themselves were immune to these negative statuses.
Without eyes to begin with, they don’t have to worry about being blinded or not.
“Why are they still approaching?”
“These skeletons aren’t afraid of our attacks.”
“Yeah, they’re not scared.”
“Then let’s eat them.”
The Fear Devourer quickly reached a conclusion and wriggled towards a skeleton on its left.
Like a pile of at, it instantly crushed the skeleton warrior underneath it and began chomping away, making ‘crunch crunch’ sounds as it chewed the bones.
But with the Fear Devourer’s bloated body, it wasn’t eating fast enough.
That gave the remaining skeletons ti to attack.
They surrounded the Fear Devourer, swinging their weapons to chop at the gigantic piece of at.
“Ah… it hurts, ah!”
The mouths on the Fear Devourer’s body were still feasting on the skeleton underneath it while making painful moans due to the attacks.
The Fear Devourer’s body displayed its incredible toughness.
The Black Iron Knight’s Sword could cut across their bodies, but the wounds it made were not that deep.
But there were still a lot of skeleton warriors, they circled around and hacked away.
When the Fear Devourer ate a skeleton, fresh at grew new mouths, but they were skeleton mouths, unable to speak.
Thump thump thump!
The Fear Devourer pounced on another skeleton and continued to eat.
The remaining skeleton warriors surrounded it and launched a frenzy of attacks.
A series of blows made minceat out of chunks of the Fear Devourer’s flesh.
“These bones don’t taste good.”
“It hurts so much, my eyes have been cut off.”
“We can’t win, let’s run. When the teacher returns, we’ll kill these ugly creatures.”
“Let’s run, the exit’s over there.”
Half of the Fear Devourer’s body had already been severely maid, its eyes and mouths hanging down from the shredded flesh, looking incredibly terrifying.
Seeing that these skeletons were not afraid of death and knowing it couldn’t finish them off, the Fear Devourer decided to run away.
It quickly wriggled towards the opening.
“Black Sword, stop it, don’t let it get outside.” Fang Hao ordered.
There’s no way he could let it escape.
If it gets out of here, and successfully flees, it’s likely to cause serious problems.
Considering its trait of growing new mouths and eyes every ti it swallows soone, it would be even more troubleso when it grows bigger.
And a lot of people would die.
Black Sword nodded, his foot tapped the ground and instantly blocked the Fear Devourer’s path.
With one swing of his sword, he slashed a large chunk of flesh off the Fear Devourer.
The Fear Devourer’s body twisted and all of its mouths let out painful screams.
The vibration shook the underground slightly.
“I will kill you, I have to kill you.”
“It hurts so much, quickly kill them, quick.”
“Charge through this ugly creature, once we get out we can find sothing to eat.”
Like a mad beast, the Fear Devourer launched itself at Black Sword, trying to swallow him or push past him to get away.
Thump!
The Black Sword’s shield collided with the Fear Devourer.
He once again pushed the bloated flesh back into the middle of the skeleton warriors, causing another round of attack.
More and more mouths were cut and shredded, the chunk of at now shrunk to half the height of a man.
‘You damned undead, Teacher Adeline will revenge for us.”
“Right, Teacher Adeline will take revenge for us, she will hang you up, peel your skin off, then take your skulls.”
“Stop talking, I don’t want to rember these.”
The remaining three mouths cursed at Black Sword.
They firmly believed that their Teacher Adeline, ntioned in their conversations, would revenge for them and kill Fang Hao and the others.
“Alright, after death, you won’t feel hunger and fear anymore.” Fang Hao suddenly spoke.
At Fang Hao’s words, the three constantly talking mouths abruptly stopped.
All eyes simultaneously turned to Fang Hao.
“Really? So, you won’t be lonely?” one of the mouths suddenly asked.
“No, I won’t.”
“Oh, okay then!” The Fear Devourer ceased its random squirming.
Fang Hao nodded, and the black sword beside him swiftly swung its blade once more.
“Truth be told, I don’t particularly like Ms. Adeline. I’m rely afraid of her.”
All three mouths shut up, the writhing flesh mass slackened.
It looked like a deflated doll.
The black sword bent over, pulling out a white orb from the rotten flesh.
The orb was thumb-sized, containing a grayish vapor within its translucent surface if one looked closely.
The grayish mist roiled slightly within the sphere as it was agitated.
[Forgotten Soul]
[Category: Special Material]
(Description: A lonely, despairing soul, lost in the darkness.)
The soul inside?
Fang Hao looked at the transparent orb in the black sword’s hand.
“Black Sword, you hold onto it for now. Get so n to scour around here and take away anything that can be moved,” Fang Hao continued.
“Yes, my lord.” The black sword began directing the skeletons into action.
The secret chamber wasn’t vast.
But the illumination from the Nightstone was limited, requiring close inspection.
Soon, Fang Hao saw a skeleton warrior erge from the shadows, holding a chest of gold.
So, the chest was hidden here.
Fang Hao stood to one side.
Seeing that the chest had been found, he nodded approvingly.
Just as he was about to follow the skeleton soldier out, another voice from Black Sword ca from the corner.
“Lord, there is another secret room over here.”
Fang Hao was taken aback, another secret room?
With a flap of his wings, he headed for where Black Sword’s voice was coming from.
In the dim corner, an even secret door opened in the smooth wall.
The material of the door was the sa as the nearby stone wall, making it hard to spot when closed.
The door opened to reveal another small room.
“You go in and check,” Fang Hao uttered to the skeleton who had a Nightstone hanging around its neck.
The skeleton took large steps into the room, illuminating the small space.
It was a room even smaller than the previous one, with a tal chair in the middle. One could see iron chains and leather straps on the chair.
One side of the wall had a workbench which contained assorted jars and utensils.
To Fang Hao, it seed like a combination of an interrogation and experintal room.
It was apparent that the secret room was well sealed, with its contents relatively well preserved.
The wood and leather items had only a minor sign of rot.
Hold on, take a look at what’s in that bundle”. Fang Hao called out to the pacing skeleton.
On the workbench of the secret room.
A linen-wrapped object lay, looking like an arm from its shape.
The linen wrapping was moldy and rotten, but the item inside was still intact.
The skeleton warrior acted on command.
Moving forward, it unwrapped the linen cloth to reveal the item.
Sure enough, it was a white bone arm.
It was a left arm of a creature. The arm bone was excellently preserved with a lustrous, like jade. Under the illumination of the Nightstone, one could see patterns engraved on the bone.
Seeing as no danger presented itself, Fang Hao flew in as well.
He landed beside the white bone arm.
[Arm of the Chalice (Orange)]
[Category: Alchemical product]
[Ability: Purification, Healing]
(Description: An arm covered in alchemical symbols, retains so of its powers from its previous life, might have a special use.)
Chalice?
Is that a person’s na, or a title?
Fang Hao was unsure.
But judging from the retained abilities, the original owner’s identity had so association with the church.
Although its function was still unclear, anything with an orange rating was, without a doubt, quite exceptional.
Once he gets it back, he’ll let Nelson have a look.
Maybe it could be attached to one of the skeletons.
Once he finished examining the arm, Fang Hao continued, “Black Sword, search around in here. Anything that can be moved, take it out. Also, wrap this arm up and bring it along.”
“Yes, my lord,”
“Alright.” Black Sword affird again.
The skeleton warriors began to remove the items upstairs, and Fang Hao too followed them out.
Outside of the old castle.
Gray Bear and the others were still on their guard.
From outside, they could hear sharp cries coming from beneath them.
Without a doubt, they knew Fang Hao ran into a new creature inside. Listening to the sounds of battle, this new monster was not an easy foe. They didn’t go in; they stood at the entrance, ready to face any enemy that might erge.
As footsteps drew nearer, they all grew tense.
Just as Gray Bear was about to order an attack.
A skeleton soldier erged carrying a chest, a little gray bird perched on its shoulder.
Only then did people release a sigh of relief.
Seems like the danger below was taken care of..
