A Dog Kept by the Human Race's Higher-Ups

"Click, click-click, click-click-click..."

The cracking sounds grew more frequent as the blindfolded youth slowly pulled the chains off.

Cloth and crimson ink clung to the chains, the intense heat causing white smoke to rise from the young man's palms.

The chains were eventually torn down.

Clang!

As the chain fell from the sky, a crisp sound erupted upon hitting the ground, along with the cultivation levels of the Earth Realm Fifth Realm!

"Call out-!"

Frozen in place Shisui felt a sharp pain in his neck.

The Rc Cells in his body proliferated wildly, and his Psychic Energy evaporated rapidly as if boiling.

His body instinctively entered "overclocking" mode, pushing his body's operating frequency to its limit, instantly freeing him from his constraints.

Shisui touched his severed neck; the blood vessels, nerves, and bones inside had already fully recovered.

But this doesn't mean it has no impact on him.

At least one-fifth of his Psychic Energy was evaporated.

"You act like nothing happened even after having your neck severed," the blindfolded youth's arrogance continued to rise, "You really are a test subject."

"A pathetic forbidden creation. I don't know why the Demon Race's higher-ups sent you to infiltrate Shengtian."

The pages of the book surrounded him, and the young man's expression suddenly became compassionate and devout.

He gazed at Shisui, who had already torn open Space Wormhole, and calmly delivered his verdict.

"But I will still perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the pages of the book shone with a brilliant golden light!

Sensing the enemy's rapidly increasing presence, Shisui tore open a space in preparation for relocation.

However, the moment the golden light appeared, the Space Wormhole collapsed instantly.

Then, golden chains climbed up his body, and iron hooks easily pierced through his Koukaku and embedded themselves inside.

The intense heat followed immediately, instantly vaporizing the Ukaku behind the Shisui, the one closest to the youth.

Shisui unleashed his Psychic Energy without reservation, absorbing the Flesh Crystals at the fastest speed to supply the Koukaku with the highest defensive power.

Due to the high temperature, Rc Cells begin to inactivate from the outside, and are then replaced by new cells from the inside.

The golden light, which shone within a ten-meter radius, lasted only three seconds before ceasing.

At this moment, the square outside the library is shrouded in smoke.

Except for the central fountain, all the facilities near the golden light, including the ground of the plaza, disappeared in their original locations.

Just a dozen meters from the library, a crater a hundred meters in diameter was faintly visible amidst the smoke and dust.

The blindfolded youth was covered in blisters, panting heavily, as the chains wrapped around his waist once more.

"Ha... ha... in the end, I was attacked backlash after using only 80% of my strength."

He laughed self-deprecatingly, the corners of his mouth twitching as he popped a few blisters on his face, the blood flowing out making him look like he was crying.

"Even if it's for the benefit of Human Race, must we still be wary of it?"

He stepped through the air toward the central fountain, as if walking toward a fate he could not defy.

But just as he happened to pass by the spot where the golden light had landed, a sudden change occurred!

"Well!"

A feeling of suffocation instantly enveloped the young man's body; his body, which had just been sealed, was frozen in place, unable to move.

The next moment, a small, unstable Space Wormhole suddenly appeared not far from him.

At the same time, the tattered scorpion tail, with only a single stinger remaining, emerged and pierced the back of his neck.

All of this happened extremely quickly; in less than half a second, the Wormhole collapsed and dissipated into the air.

Along with it disappeared, so too did the owner of the scorpion tail, whose fate remains unknown.

"Bang!"

The blindfolded youth fell to the edge of the pit; the needle at the end did not pierce the back of his head, but merely pierced his skin.

However, the [Bone-Deep Rot] still entered his body through his bloodstream, compounding the pain caused by the seal.

The [Bone-Deep Rot] became the final straw that broke the camel's back, leaving the young man frozen in place, convulsing uncontrollably.

"Call!"

A sudden gust of air abruptly rose from the plaza, which was shrouded in fly ash.

Arakawa Jiushu hovered in mid-air, watching with interest the blindfolded youth struggling below.

I rushed over because of the energy fluctuations, and I never expected to find a bargain.

Taking back the hunting dogs carefully kept by the Human Race high command should be considered a major achievement.

After all, it's still an Earth Realm.

Arakawa Jiushu casually picked up the stiff, blindfolded youth.

At this moment, the young man was too overwhelmed by the pain to respond to anything from the outside world.

If it weren't for his faint breath and slightly trembling body, the young man would have been no different from a dead man.

With a gentle flap of its enormous wings, the White Owl arrived suddenly and disappeared just as quickly.

In just a moment, the square was completely deserted, leaving only a terrifying void and swirling dust.

The campus remained in a state of deliberate unrest, while the area near the library was once again eerily silent.

In the territory of the Beastfolk, more than a hundred kilometers away from Mao City.

The tall, ancient trees stand in an interlocking pattern, vying for sunlight and living space.

The dense, layered canopy of trees makes the rainforest as dark as night, even during the day.

Therefore, even during the day, the Beastfolk of the Myriad-Blade Rainforest still habitually carry lanterns and other lighting tools.

Even inside and outside the buildings, wall lamps and chandeliers are kept on all day, constantly emitting a reassuring warm light.

Along a section of the Wunu River in its middle and lower reaches, the lights were also brightly lit.

That was a newly established interception post by the Beastfolk.

The older outposts a little upstream have been overwhelmed with work since the Wunu River was blocked.

In addition, Qiongfang City, located at the very top of the river, was engulfed in war, and a large number of people fled south, with more and more people escaping the net.

Therefore, in order to gain more benefits, the Beastfolk lords transferred half of Beastfolk soldiers from the old outpost.

After the new sentry posts were established, the new recruits were assigned to the two posts.

This way, all passing ships can be intercepted to the greatest extent possible.

At the same time, it can also stop some people who are trying to smuggle themselves across the border by land.

For example, last night, this sentry post intercepted several groups of smugglers, totaling two to three thousand people.

Therefore, the workload at each sentry post has not decreased at all; it remains just as busy.

In the jungle not far from the outpost, two Beastfolk soldiers were taking a break to chat.

The trees here are much taller; a single tree can completely shade a space of five or six square meters.

Without sunlight, the other trees can't sprout.

Therefore, this place is relatively spacious compared to other locations, making it a good spot for these soldiers to sit together and slack off.

"Hey! Stop slacking off, we've got work to do!"

In the distance, a Beastfolk shouted in this direction.

The two slacking-off Beastfolk clicked their tongues in disapproval, their impatience clearly visible.

"Let's go, let's go, it's time to get the men's goods ready."

"Huh? What's that over there? Are there still brothers there?"

The Beastfolk who were still sitting seemed to have seen something and tugged at the Beastfolk soldiers who were getting up and heading towards the riverbank.

"What? We've been chatting here for half an hour, where is anyone else?"

The soldier who had already stood up turned around and glanced indifferently at the dark jungle in the distance.

You must have misread it.

"No! Lie down!"

"Whoosh--Bang!"

The seated Beastfolk collapsed into the grass.

Before him, the Beastfolk who had been standing was decapitated and crashed straight to the ground.

The sharp Steel Feathers pierced the ground, and the warm, crimson color was swallowed by the soil before it could spread.

Before the terrified scream could even escape his lips, the Beastfolk found himself strangely airborne.

Thump!

His head slammed into the mud with a dull thud.

The soldier saw his own body still lying on the spot, and a bloodied and mangled figure that suddenly appeared behind him.

He then realized that just moments ago, his head had also separated from his body.

The next moment, his consciousness was cut off.
