The human figure wrapped by the roots spun and jumped on the spot, like a headless fly. After a quarter of an hour, it suddenly stopped. A thick smoke suddenly appeared on its charred and twisted face. The black smoke continued to wriggle.
A moment later, a blurry face appeared. Its mouth opened and closed. At the same time, there was a hoarse and unpleasant sound.
“Don’t fight… Don’t fight… Let me do it first… I know… You all sensed his existence… He wasn’t dead… He’s still alive… Let me… Let me first… I’ll lead you to find him… He deserved to die… Yes, I know… He deserved to die… So, let me do it first!”
Bang!
The human figure was suddenly shocked on the spot. The roots of his body made a loud noise like twisting steel bars. lts face collapsed again at this moment. But soon, the face reappeared. This time, the human figure’s action became coordinated. It lowered its head and its specific expression could not be seen, but from its posture, it should be observing its body.
People would able to see that it’s ugly.. So ugly…
After a while, its hoarse voice made an evaluation. Its head began to spin, as if a person was looking left and right. Then its head was aimed at the pool of flesh on the ground in the distance. This was the corpse of a female cultivator who had been killed by Caspian. But at this moment, this corpse could only be shoveled. With its head, the human figure turned around at this time. It raised its arm and opened its five fingers.
Rumble!
The flesh and blood on the ground immediately seemed to have been boiled, moreover producing a large bubble.
“Come!” The human figure shouted.
Puff, puff…
The thick blood suddenly flew up from the ground and splashed on the root. First, the blood covered its chest and then spread to its whole body. Before long, it covered the whole body of the human figure made of the roots. At the same time, another black mist gushed out of the human figure of the root. There was also a sneer in its throat.
“If you want revenge… I can’t do it alone… You have to help me…”
After the black mist lingered for a while, it immediately fused with the blood. In the end, a black armor was formed to cover the human figure of the roots.
The armor’s head, back, shoulders, elbows, knees, and heel all had curved horns, which looked particularly ferocious. However, the armor did not cover all the places. In a place that was not covered, the entangled roots could no longer be seen. Instead, human skin was exposed.
The figure reached out and took off its helmet, revealing the face of a handsome. This face was a man in his thirties, but there was a deep hatred in his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Caspian had just left.
“I know… In the past, the million strong armies gathered together, but they couldn’t kill you… Now, I can’t kill you by myself. But how could I be the only one who wanted revenge? I do have countless helpers who have been sleeping here for thousands of years with resentment!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man opened his mouth and roared. The sound was sharp. In an instant, it soared into the sky, pierced the clouds, and spread around. It seemed that something was waking up and was ready to move.
***
Caspian, who was moving forward quickly, seemed to have sensed something. He stopped and turned back to look.
There was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
“Is there any movement just now?” Caspian asked.
There was no one else around him. Naturally, he was asking about the person behind the Gates of Hell. But this time, there was no response from that person. But Caspian didn’t care.
After making up his mind, Caspian turned around and continued to move toward the fixed target. But the moment he lifted his foot, his fingers flicked quickly a few times. A few drops of blood flew out and fell on the grass, branches, and eaves.
After Caspian left…
These drops of blood moved a few times and then turned into eyeballs. The eyeballs were shining and turning, looking around. There was no blind spot. They paid special attention to the direction where Caspian came from…
