Sadako used Teleportation and her immunity to physical attacks to appear behind the beastmen in an instant.

She used mind control to make the beastmen kill themselves.

Such an uncanny power was completely beyond their understanding.

The beastmen had never seen anything like it!

A strange fear surged in their hearts.

Within minutes, three beastmen had died by their own hands.

The remaining beastmen stared in terror toward the front, where Sadako stood motionless.

Although Sadako didn't move, the beastmen knew-

In the next instant, she could appear anywhere!

The beastmen's faces went deathly pale. Their backs prickled with cold as they watched Sadako and kept retreating.

"Th-this is so strange! What is she?!"

One beastman growled under his breath, venting his fear.

But none of the others answered him. After all, they didn't know either.

That strange laughter rang out again.

"Heh heh heh..."

Sadako, whom they had been watching, vanished from where she stood and appeared in front of a beastman.

The beastman's eyes bulged and his pupils widened as he stared at the face that had suddenly appeared before him, veiled by hair with one eye showing.

Face to face, no more than three centimeters apart.

Her black eyes were utterly lifeless, like those of a dead creature.

No!

They were even more lifeless than a dead creature's eyes, even more uncanny!

The beastman was so terrified that he let out a shrill scream.

"Ah!"

But the next instant, his eyes went blank, turning lifeless too.

It was as if Sadako had infected him.

He stopped screaming and broke into a strange smile.

Then he charged at another beastman and began savagely tearing into him with his teeth.

Pitiful screams echoed through the lifeless dead forest.

At last, the other beastmen couldn't take it anymore and cried out in panic, "Help! Help!"

Then they started running, trying to escape.

The other beastmen immediately followed suit.

But even at full speed, they kept seeing Sadako appear ahead of them, laughing strangely.

It was as if she had always been in front of them, waiting for them to catch up.

One beastman after another died horribly. Soon, their numbers had been cut in half.

Watching this scene, Shen Hui wore a smug smile.

"The power of the Eldritch Beings really is formidable."

"But the direction they're running in seems a little wrong."

The beastmen were so terrified that they didn't care to check which way they were going.

They picked a direction and ran blindly.

Yet the direction they had fled in led straight to the slaughterhouse where the Pig-headed Butcher lived.

The beastmen soon noticed a huge building ahead.

"Quick! There's a building over there. Let's hide inside!"

One beastman shouted urgently, as if he'd spotted a lifeline.

Little did they know that they were merely walking from one hell into another.

The remaining beastmen soon ran out of the dead forest.

They had entered the slaughterhouse grounds.

Sadako stopped chasing them and returned to the dry well.

She knew the area ahead belonged to the Pig-headed Butcher.

Without Shen Hui's orders, Sadako and the Pig-headed Butcher would not enter each other's territory.

After the beastmen entered the slaughterhouse grounds, they noticed that Sadako, who had kept appearing in front of them, was gone.

"She's gone! That thing's gone!"

"Damn it! What was that thing? It came into this world and made half of us die!"

"Ten corpses. That's all good food!"

They had been so hungry that they considered anything edible to be food.

So in their eyes, their dead companions were naturally food.

"Then go into the forest and bring those corpses out."

"Why don't you go?"

For a moment, none of the beastmen said anything.

Compared to going hungry, the strange thing in the forest frightened them even more.

But they soon turned their attention to the warehouse in front of them.

"This place has such a big building. Maybe there's something edible inside!"

"I smell a faint fragrance. It smells like meat!"

"I smell it too. It's coming from inside this building!"

"Hahaha! There really is food! Let's go in!"

The beastmen recovered from their terror, and hunger took hold of them again.

Especially after they caught the faint scent of meat.

They all immediately entered the warehouse.

There were no light sources inside, and it was extremely dim. They couldn't make anything out, only vague shapes.

The place was also very empty, and their footsteps echoed again and again as they walked in.

It was cold and damp, and the stench of blood hit them.

But they could still smell that faint scent of meat.

It was right up ahead!

"Over there! Is that meat hanging there?"

All the beastmen saw the things hanging in rows ahead of them, suspended from chains that dangled from the ceiling.

Greedy, hungry looks appeared on their faces.

But just then, footsteps came from up ahead.

"Thud... thud... thud..."

One step at a time, the sound echoed through the warehouse.

The beastmen's hearts jolted. They feared they would encounter another uncanny human like the one they had met in the forest.

But soon, a figure appeared in front of them.

By the faint light and their own night vision, the beastmen saw that the figure approaching was a half-orc with a pig's head and a human body.

Compared to them, however, the Pig-headed Butcher's body was much more humanlike. Only his head was a pig's.

They immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Though they didn't know where he had come from, he was the same kind of creature as they were.

But before they could ask anything,

the Pig-headed Butcher stopped several dozen meters in front of them.

He gave them a strange smile and spoke in a deep, resonant voice:

"Food has arrived. Looks like it's time to get to work."

As he spoke, the Pig-headed Butcher immediately picked up the cleaver from the nearby butcher's block.

At the same time, three strangely shaped piglets charged out from behind him.

The beastmen still didn't understand what the Pig-headed Butcher meant.

They thought he was talking about the three piglets.

"Pig-headed Butcher, hand over all the food you have here! Give us those three piglets too!"

One beastman spoke viciously.

He also prepared to attack.

But the three piglets suddenly accelerated and charged straight at the group of beastmen.

They hadn't been wary of the three piglets at all.

Caught completely off guard, three beastmen were knocked to the ground in an instant.

The three piglets immediately began gnawing and tearing into them, treating them as food.

The fallen orcs began to fight back.

The other orcs immediately looked toward the three piglets charging over to gnaw on their companions, ready to help.

But some of them were directly drawn to the row of strange eyes atop the three piglets' heads.

But the moment they looked, they instantly felt the world spin around them.

They immediately started crawling on the ground, making oinking pig sounds.

They completely thought of themselves as pigs!
