C467 Exposure of Living Corpse
Under the perfect cover of "Yeye Night", Wu Shuang ignored the patrol squad and walked unhindered into the depths of the valley.
The Hu Family Ruins were located at the foot of a mountain. Outside, they had undergone two refurbishment and a black-gold metal arch had been constructed with modern materials.
On the left and right side of the archway stood eight Heavenly Sound Master s with powerful auras. As the most important person for Hu Family, and also the core of concealment, one could imagine the importance of this trial remnant.
Along with the sound of heavy footsteps, a hunchbacked old man walked out from the ruins. The passage of time seemed to be especially harsh on him, to the point that his face was full of deep wrinkles and his hair had fallen off, but no one dared to look down on him.
It was because he was an almighty being at the middle stage of the Creation, an expert at the Hu Family — Hu Hai.
"Old Hai."
Every single person who saw him stood up straight and bowed respectfully.
"Old Hai, how is Trial Taker?" Standing at the entrance, the middle-aged man who was protected by his subordinates walked up to them.
Hu Hai shook his head and said, "15 people, 4 died, and 11 more."
"How could this be? In the past, even if the trial failed, there wouldn't be that many casualties?" The middle-aged man asked in disbelief. He was the person in charge of the relic, the younger brother of the Hu Family's Patriarch — — Hu Tu Zhi.
Every single young person participating in the trial were all proud sons and hopes of the Hu Family, and one of them was even the profound grandson of the Great Elder. Anyone could die, but even his older brother wouldn't be able to protect him if something were to happen to him.
"Do you still need to ask, the origin of these ruins is mysterious, every time we activate it will consume a lot of energy. With the power we grasp, at most we can only reduce the consumption of this energy, but not recharge it."
Hu Hai sighed and said, "Right now, the relic is already very unstable, and the danger level has increased exponentially. Maybe in ten years, the relic will collapse."
If it was someone else who said this, then Hu Tu would definitely slap him, and then curse at him. However, since it was Hu Hai's fault, he couldn't help but believe it, and was worried and depressed.
"Old Hai, since the remains are no longer safe, can you stop the trial and let those children out?"
Hu Tu Zhi pondered for a moment before saying, "You also know that Great Elder loves Sun Ruming. If anything happens to Hu Tian Peng, then he won't be able to skin me alive."
"Hmph, no, during the trial, no one is allowed to stop it for any reason. This is a rule of Hu Family, even if Great Elder pleads for mercy in person, this old man would never agree."
Hu Hai let out a furious snort. He only revealed a sliver of the power of a Manifestation Supreme Elder. It was like a cold wind that passed through the borders, intimidating Hu Tu and his men, making them shiver and not dare to cry out.
"Alright, guard this place well. The trial ruins won't be suitable for activation next year. This old man will go find the few old ghosts of the Elders Guild and discuss this." With that, Hu Hai walked out.
However, just after they had taken a few steps, they suddenly cried out in surprise. Their eyes swept across the nearby patrol squad and shouted, "Stop right there!"
"Old Hai?" Hu Tu Zhi looked at Hu Hai in surprise.
The patrol officer also quickly called for the team to stop and stood at attention. He saluted and asked, "What orders do you have for me, Old Hai?"
Hu Hai didn't look at the two of them. With a gloomy face, he quickly walked up to a youth with a bulbous head and shouted, "Raise your head."
The ball-headed young man was Hu Qiu. He raised his head slowly and looked at Hu Hai stiffly.
"Do you know why I stopped you?" Hu Hai asked.
Seeing Hu Qiu shake his head, he continued: "Hehe, I am very curious, you are just a dead person, why can you walk and move, no matter who it is, if they dare trespass into my Hu Family territory or kill my disciples, I swear, I will tear you into eight pieces!"
Before Hu Hai could even react, Hu Qiu had already shattered his skull. His body was like a deflated ball, from which flew out a large number of red and black melodies, but not a single trace of blood.
"This, this …"
The patrol officer was instantly dumbfounded. His own men had unknowingly turned into puppets and living corpses. It was just too shocking.
Hu Tu Zhi reacted even faster. After a short period of absent-mindedness, he immediately shouted, "Everyone, quick, move. Even if you have to dig three feet below the ground, you must catch the intruder."
"Humph, killing someone right in front of my eyes. I will personally pinch this bug out myself." Hu Hai was furious. He stomped his feet and rushed into the sky. A tremendous perception spread out with substance as it searched the ground of the valley piece by piece.
At the same time, the Blood Demon that was hidden in a corner of the valley spat out a mouthful of blood, and said with a pale face: "I was too careless. There's an almighty overseeing the Hu Family. Fatty, let's go quickly."
When the fat officer heard this, his face turned pale. It was both blood loss and fear. He hurriedly covered his shriveled arms and followed the blood demon out of the valley.
"Who is it?"
"It's the intruders! Stop!"
A patrol found the two blood demons and immediately began to play a war song, blocking their way.
However, this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were no match for the blood demons. With just a wave of his hand, he had killed three of them and rushed out of the encirclement.
The fat officer's strength was not as good as his, and after being sucked in so many times by him, he was already extremely weak. Twisting around the remaining patrolling soldiers, he reached out his hand to the Blood Demon and cried out for help, "Blood Demon, save me, save me!"
However, to his despair, the Blood Demon did not care about his life. In just a blink of an eye, it completely disappeared before his eyes.
The fat officer roared and struggled again and again, unwilling to be captured just like that. However, along with the shrill sound of wind breaking, he was stomped into meat paste by Hu Hai, who had fallen from the sky.
"Hmph, someone who offends my Hu Family deserves to die." Hu Hai kicked the fat officer's head away and chased after the blood demon.
In the depths of the valley, Wu Shuang, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't know what had happened. Seeing that his Hu Family was in chaos, he immediately took the opportunity to approach the entrance of the ruins.
Looking at the dense war songs engraved on the arch, Wu Shuang could only bet on 'Night's Night' for its power.
The transformed black melody brushed against the side of the mountain wall and squeezed into the ruins. Fortunately, there was no warning.
Wu Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. He took a few more steps forward and revealed himself.
This relic had been modified by the Hu Family, so it was not the least bit dark.
At the end of the road, there was a rusted gate that was propped up by two metal pillars to a height of 1.5 meters.
Wu Shuang did not hesitate and walked in with a bow. There was still a straight path in front of him, the walls on both sides were filled with images of battles, between humans and Demon Beast, there were also humans and humans.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The passageway suddenly shook, and a large amount of dust fell.
Wu Shuang slowed down his pace and followed up with a war song, "Stones of his Mountains". A large number of notes gathered above his head, turning into an illusion of a Six-Eared Monkey.
