I Said I Don't Eat Beef!
A moment later, their biological clocks woke everyone up.
"I kept watch during the second half of the night, and nothing unusual happened."
Qian Renxue nodded.
People looked at each other, but found no sign of the Limping Leg.
Finally, they found him curled up on the tree roots, in eternal sleep.
The old man took off his coat and covered him with it, then looked at his boss.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The boss shrugged. "It wasn't me!"
"Nobody said it was you." The old man narrowed his eyes.
"That's exactly what you're thinking!" the boss glared.
"I argued with the Limping Leg! Everyone heard it!"
"If he dies now, I'll be the first person you all suspect!"
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he instinctively clutched the hem of his clothes.
"But I really didn't kill him! I didn't even touch him!"
"Wouldn't touching him raise suspicion?"
"I'm not stupid!!!"
"Grandpa Yershenkov," Qian Renxue shook her head, "Calm down."
"There's no way to prove he did it, since Ye Hua and I were on night watch; there's no way we'd make a mistake."
"His Limping Leg death last night only proves that Ye Hua's idea was correct."
"There's no need for the Living Dead to kill; as long as he's in our ranks, people will die."
The old man's lips twitched, and he sighed.
Bai Chenxiang hugged Ye Hua's arm, "So we can't defend against it at all?"
"We can't defend against it," Qian Renxue took a deep breath. "The only thing we can do now is to find Leng Yue as soon as possible!"
"I propose we speed up our journey today, the faster the better!"
"Only by accelerating to the extreme can we survive!"
Bai Chenxiang shivered and snuggled into Ye Hua's arms.
He directly pushed Hu Liena out of Ye Hua's arms.
Hu Liena looked at Bai Chenxiang blankly.
But Bai Chenxiang glared back, continued to squeeze, and even winked provocatively.
Ye Hua remained calm, but his superior was furious.
"What a load of rubbish!" the boss nearly collapsed. "Every night, people die."
"We'll all be dead in five nights at most! Meanwhile, the [Living Dead] are thriving!"
"Oh no, not five nights at most. The Night Alliance Leader's defenses can only hold out until tomorrow night!"
"Aha, we're doomed!"
"Tsk," the old man frowned, "Don't say anything discouraging."
"I'll keep watch again tonight!"
"No," Qian Renxue refused decisively, "You've already kept watch all night; your mental energy is too depleted."
"I'm fine," the old man waved his hand, smiling reassuringly, "My old bones aren't yet at the point of decay!"
He puffed out his chest, his gray beard bristling, "I am, after all, a descendant of the Great Enshrined. Even in my old age, my foundation remains!"
"I may not have any other skills, but I can manage to stay up for two nights in a row!"
Ye Hua looked at him, his brows twitching almost imperceptibly.
"But you are also injured, you don't need to force yourself." Ye Hua noticed that his lips were turning purple.
"Besides, with our elements depleted, we can't replenish them by consuming Soul Power."
"Oh dear, Night Alliance Leader!" the old man shrugged. "I know my own body."
"At worst, I'll just take more medicine!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
The procession continued forward.
The safe zone has been compressed again.
The darkness that the Golden Dragon King's Spirit Bone could cut through decreased once again.
In order to break through the darkness as soon as possible, Qian Renxue pushed her speed to the limit.
Fortunately, Bai Chenxiang possessed the Sharp-tailed Swift Martial Soul; otherwise, with her Quasi-Soul King strength, she wouldn't have been able to keep up.
Surprisingly, the first one to give in was actually his superior, who possessed the strength of Soul Douluo character.
"Rest." Ye Hua raised his hand.
A campfire is lit.
The old man took out a medicine bottle and showed it to everyone.
"This was Great Enshrined; it has the effect of stimulating Soul Power and promoting blood circulation."
"With it here, young master, you can rest assured!"
Qian Renxue hesitated, "It's still me..."
"Fine!"
After saying that, he opened the medicine bottle and started guzzling it into his mouth, making Ye Hua's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
Eating it this way is no different from eating ten Ten-Thousand-Year Immortal Herb every day!
After taking his medicine, the old man looked refreshed and stroked his long, white beard.
"Don't argue with him," Ye Hua shook his head, "The old man absolutely has to stay put tonight."
"Hey," the old man pointed with his finger, "The Night Alliance Leader really understands me."
"Go to sleep." Ye Hua looked at Qian Renxue with a half-smile.
Qian Renxue felt uncomfortable under his gaze and touched her cheek.
Ye Hua walked to the campfire by himself, covered himself with a blanket, and closed his eyes.
Hu Liena naturally leaned on him.
Upon seeing this, Bai Chenxiang pursed his lips.
As drowsiness crept in, Ye Hua opened his eyes.
As expected, it was another dream!
"Hey! Young man, sir!"
"Wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!"
Ye Hua opened his eyes, but sensed something was wrong.
He couldn't sense any Soul Power present!
Look at her hands, they're unbelievably childish!
He looked like he was only six years old!
The beach is beneath my feet, and coconut trees and the sea are not far away. The sun is shining brightly, and the sea breeze is gentle.
And sitting next to him was the old man.
Just as I was about to get up, I felt a pulling force on my feet.
"Hmm..." Ye Hua gasped, realizing that he was shackled and had a large iron ball hanging from his feet, making it impossible for him to move.
"Oh, Mr. Yershenkov, what do you think we should have for breakfast?"
The old man was questioned by a faceless, Faceless Spirit.
"Needless to say? Of course, it's a thick slice of buttered steak, paired with a huge keg of draft beer!"
"I mean, it would be even better if there was ghee with the bread."
The old man waved his hands, and Ye Hua noticed that he too had been put in shackles.
The same applies to other Faceless Spirit.
Will you seal my Soul Power, rendering me unable to resist?
Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.
You underestimate me...
"Young man, you're not good enough."
"We all eat well, but you only get bread, jam, and black tea for breakfast. How are you going to grow?"
"Sigh, you decide for yourself, I'm going to eat first!"
The old man saw the butter-fried steak that had suddenly appeared on the table, grabbed a knife, chopped it off, and put it in his mouth.
He then filled his mouth with beer, the foam dripping down his chin and wetting his clothes.
Seeing the healthy breakfast in front of him, Ye Hua tentatively picked up the black tea and took a small sip.
Whoosh!
"Aaaaaah!" the old man screamed, pointing in terror at his feet.
"If you don't eat something good soon, you'll starve to death!"
Ye Hua looked over and saw black energy rising and wrapping around his ankle.
"Come on, try my fried steak!" The old man pushed the plate towards him.
Ye Hua almost vomited when he saw that there was still sticky butter on it.
The black mist beneath his feet seemed to be pulling at him in a threatening manner.
"I don't eat beef, thank you."
"Eat? Why won't you eat?"
The old man wouldn't allow me to refuse.
The other Faceless Spirit also stopped using their knives and forks.
"I've said it before," Ye Hua smiled, "I don't eat beef!"
Gold Trial light scatters, like scattered stars.
Suddenly, yellow hairs sprouted on Ye Hua's face.
Even the old man's right hand, which he was holding, was hairy.
Under everyone's ghostly gaze—
"Roar!!!"
The Qilin has appeared!
The shackles were snapped in two, even overturning the table. Ye Hua smashed the old man's shackles with a single claw and grabbed him by the back of his collar.
"Awooo! Awooo!"
The old man screamed in terror.
But Ye Hua didn't tolerate him. He simply threw him onto his back and headed aimlessly away from the dining table.
The once sunny beach suddenly became gloomy.
The Faceless Spirit cried out, their despair palpable.
The sea turned into an endless expanse of darkness.
The tsunami shattered the Faceless Spirit's body.
It rolled straight towards Ye Hua!!!
