The Death of Zhang Jizu?

The squinty-eyed guy died.

To everyone's surprise, just as everyone was preparing to secretly leave the church grounds to pick up Tullatin, before they even stepped out the door, Zhang Jizu, who was walking behind them, suddenly collapsed to the ground without warning.

Cheng Shi was walking next to him, caught him with lightning speed. But when Cheng Shi saw Zhang Jizu's flesh and Vitality wither instantly, turning into a skin-covered skeleton, his pupils shrank and he immediately clutched his ring.

Scorpio, with his keen senses, noticed the anomaly the second time. He turned around abruptly, his eyes widening in disbelief. He reacted swiftly, pulling out his Arc of Time Restoration and drawing circles of Time swamp traps around everyone.

Gou Feng frowned and knelt on one knee, tightly gripping Zhang Jizu's hand, his face dark and ugly.

"His Vitality was cut off, he... died."

As soon as she finished speaking, a chill shot from Gao Ya's tailbone straight to the top of her head. Her body stiffened, and she immediately looked around. At the same time, she clenched her fists and opened her mouth to play a calming and enhanced tune, which brought everyone present to their most focused state.

"What's going on? Brother Cheng, didn't you say the Cleaner was dead?"

"???" Gao Ya turned around abruptly to look at Scorpion, asking incredulously, "Really dead?"

Cheng Shi's face darkened. This was clearly not the time to talk about Cleaner. Mo Shu was undoubtedly dead, but the question was, how did Old Zhang fall?

The moment this question arose, he immediately knew the answer. Cheng Shi's expression changed drastically as he shouted "Not good!" and then snapped his fingers, disappearing from the spot.

Seeing the thigh disappear, Scorpio suddenly realized the reason. He gripped his weapon tightly and turned to chase after the place he had planned to go.

But just then, Gao Ya grabbed his hand and scolded him:

"Don't move if you don't want to die. The situation that could cause the sudden death of a Chosen of God Gravekeeper is beyond our control."

There is only one way to survive: stay here, guard the body of the Gravekeeper, and wait for the Fate Weaver to return.

Otherwise, don't blame me if you die out there."

Scorpio was taken aback, then his expression darkened:

"Brother Cheng isn't Fate Weaver, he's Druid!"

"?" Gao Ya laughed in anger. What time is it? Can't you use your brain for a second?

She felt like she was talking to a brainless idiot, and Scorpio's subsequent reaction confirmed her belief.

Scorpio suddenly broke free from her grasp and said solemnly:

"Even if it's just about guarding Brother Zhang's body, the two of you are enough. I have to go help. Brother Cheng shielded me from the greatest danger, but I've caused him so much trouble. I have to go and see him no matter what."

If I can help, great; if not, at least I can be his eyes!

"Tch, so how many dangers did you actually discover beforehand in this Trials? Are you blind?"

Scorpio's face darkened, and he walked away in silence.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Gao Ya said with a stern face, "Foolish, you'll die."

"No, I trust Brother Cheng. He won't let me die. You guys guard this place. I'm leaving!"

As he spoke, the little Assassin vanished in a Shadow Shuttle.

After Scorpion left, Gou Feng, his face as black as ink, plopped down on the ground, his brows furrowed tightly.

Gao Ya glanced at him and sneered, "I thought you were a loyal person, but I was wrong and you were fooled by a little Assassin."

He's a man of deep feelings, but what about you, Chief? Why are you feigning weakness?

Gou Feng irritably scratched his head but didn't respond.

He was far more terrified than the others because he still had the control methods left by the Zhang Jizu within him. But now that the person who controlled him was dead, what would happen to what was inside him?

He didn't even know what the Chosen of God of "death" had put on him!

Gao Ya frowned slightly when he saw that the chief was ignoring him.

She didn't press further, but instead walked to the side of Zhang Jizu's body, squatted down, and began to carefully examine his skeletal remains.

His death was easy to identify; he was clearly drained of his life Vitality by some strange means. But the question is, what power could so quickly drain the Vitality of a Chosen of God in an instant?

She guessed some of it, but instinctively felt a bit afraid and didn't want to get involved. However, her Folly curiosity still pushed her to continue observing Zhang Jizu, wanting to discover some new and useful "knowledge" from his death.

Just as she was fiddling with his squinty head and forcefully prying open his tightly closed eyelids, a pair of glaring, blood-red eyes instantly came into view.

The eyes seemed to be twitching faintly, more like two irregularly pulsating sacs than eyeballs, as if containing something struggling to break free.

Upon seeing this, Gao Ya's gaze sharpened, and he knew something was wrong. He immediately retreated, but it was too late!

Without warning, the two pure red blood-red eyeballs exploded in front of her, followed by countless wildly writhing, earthworm-like blood-red worms that burst into the air like ribbons, spraying Gao Ya's head and face.

Gao Ya screamed in fright and scrambled backward on all fours, but as she crawled, her eyes narrowed tightly.

Gou Feng's pupils constricted upon seeing this. He was about to get up when the other person nimbly leaped in front of him, pinning him to the shoulder and rendering him immobile. At the same time, the other person frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Stay here and don't wander off. Deal with Berios well, or I'll sacrifice you to that the Great One."

After saying that, she squinted and stretched her body, then chased after the direction where Scorpio had just disappeared without hesitation.

Gou Feng watched in horror as the "Folly Believer" left. His heart, which had almost stopped beating, suddenly started beating again. He suddenly lost his strength and sat down on the ground, only to find that his whole body was already soaked in sweat.

It's him!

What about that Gao Ya...?

She's dead? Just like that?

He turned to look at the skeleton on the ground, its body wrapped in tightly wrinkled skin. Seeing the gaping, blood-red eye sockets, he swallowed hard and took two steps back in fear.

This is Chosen of God of death!

Can he really... be killed?

On the other side.

When Cheng Shi saw Zhang Jizu fall to the ground, he felt that something unexpected had happened again, and this unexpected event was 99% likely to come from the target outside his field of vision, Tullatin.

So he immediately reached Tullatin's side using the Never-Lost Gambling Tools, but he was too late.

Because the moment the squinty-eyed man fell to the ground, he should have realized that Tullatin was dead.

Tullatin did indeed die; she died in the cell the Brotherhood of Child Thieves prepared for her.

Although it is a prison cell, its structure and decoration are almost identical to those of a hotel. The only difference is that it is buried deep underground on the outskirts of Dolgo D and cannot see the sun. Apart from that, the living conditions here are not much worse than those of real houses above ground.

And there are many more of these cells underground, far from the surface.

It was here that Lisfir brainwashed the children kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Child Thieves into becoming new brothers in the Brotherhood.

At that very moment, a mother who was about to give birth to their new brother died.

Like squinting eyes, Vitality died lifelessly in the corner of this cell.

When Cheng Shi landed and turned around to see Tullatin's corpse, he was so horrified that he involuntarily took a step back. The immense fear transformed into nourishment, directly filling the Ring of Bone Servant Lele'er.

"Grass...

What the hell is this thing?!
