"Food, I need food... I'm starving!"
He Tianzheng, who had once worn an air of righteousness, now looked like a starving ghost, emaciated to the bone. His hair was nearly gone, and he crawled like a lizard, scurrying through the foul, filthy sewer.
A miniature formation had formed over He Tianzheng's eyes. It could freely adjust the distance of his vision, see through any material within his capabilities, and identify abnormal life forms.
"There seems to be a supernatural fluctuation... Come out quickly and let me eat you!"
He Tianzheng leaped straight into the wastewater, seized a lock of black hair with one hand, and kept pulling it outward. The weight seemed just about the size of a person.
But in the end, all that surfaced was a block of wood tangled in black hair.
Shen Zhao stood on one side of the sewer and watched in silence. He naturally recognized that this black hair, which carried the power of fear, came from his own daughter.
"Keep looking. Yu Jing is somewhere in this area... Follow where the hair was pulled out just now and search the deeper water."
Although He Tianzheng felt ravenously hungry, he could not disobey Shen Zhao's order. He plunged headfirst into the filthy water and slowly swam toward the murky depths.
More black hair had accumulated at the bottom of the deep-water area, and even He Tianzheng's eyes could not see through the mass to determine what was hidden inside.
"Food? I'm coming!"
As He Tianzheng peeled back layer after layer of densely packed black hair with both hands, Yu Jing crouched inside, his eyes filled with killing intent... Yet neither side made a move.
A closer look revealed that two strands of black hair had pierced through He Tianzheng's temples, interfering with his brain.
