What kind of monster was this?
Even Gongxi Chou had nearly been shaken by so many faces.
W-was this even human?
Gongxi Chou's subtle expression caught Chu Yao and the others' attention, but their lord spoke first. "Gongxi Chou, is he difficult to deal with?"
The first thing Shen Tang did when she saw Black Bone was frown. An inexplicable disgust and restlessness rose in her heart. Both he and Gongshu Wu were nothing but skeletons, but Gongshu Wu was simply filled with Death Qi, and being near him caused no discomfort. Black Bone's Death Qi, on the other hand, was murky and evil.
Even from this distance, he could affect her.
Gongxi Chou didn't seem as confident about Jimò Qiu as he had been before.
She prepared for the worst.
If Jimò Qiu really wasn't Black Bone's match, she would have to seize the right moment to intervene and rescue him. She couldn't let the Gongxi Clan's only High Priest fall on the battlefield. Shen Tang was glad she had practiced the Word Spirit [Steal the Peach] until it was second nature.
It could still come in handy at a crucial moment.
Gongxi Chou answered honestly. "His whole body is covered in faces."
Shen Tang stared at Black Bone in astonishment. The latter was completely wrapped in black armor, with only the hollow eye sockets beneath his faceplate exposed. Where were these faces? Let alone a body covered in them? Gongxi Chou had always scorned lying, and he wouldn't joke around at a time like this. That could only mean he was seeing something ordinary people couldn't. "Faces? How many? Can you describe them in detail?"
Gongxi Chou counted roughly.
"A hundred or so human faces, of all kinds."
He briefly described their features.
Nearly half had black hair
