The Decomposition of Everything

Chapter 26 Village



Although Jiang Linghan was tired, he still looked very proud. He smiled and said, "I finally have the power to strike. I am an assassin, not a thief. Now the road ahead should be safer."

The three of them smiled with relief. Although they were in tattered clothes and covered with traces of battle, their spirits had changed incredibly. After a month of adventure in the monster jungle, they had experienced one life-and-death test after another. Their sharp eyes revealed their murderous spirit. Many crises were overcome with the help and efforts of the three. But the jungle was still endless and there was no exit.

The three of them moved forward towards the direction of the rising sun every day, and another month passed.

In the cave, Yi Qianqian and Shen Zhi were silently eating barbecue. Two consecutive months of jungle adventure life had exhausted their energy, and their eyes were full of confusion and fatigue.

The aroma of barbecue filled the cave. This was their rare rest time. Shen Zhi observed Yi Qianqian while chewing barbecue. She looked a little worried, with a trace of worry between her eyebrows.

"What's wrong, Qianqian?" Shen Zhi asked with concern.

Yi Qianqian shook her head gently and sighed, "When can we get out of this jungle?"

Shen Zhi was silent for a moment. He wanted to leave this dangerous jungle as soon as possible. But the reality was that even he was not sure whether it was right to walk in the direction of the sun. At first, he thought that the monsters would become weaker if he changed the direction, but in fact, the whole jungle was a territory, and there were monsters of all strengths in the territory, from low to high. This jungle seemed endless and there was no exit.

"I know you are worried, but we must keep our faith." Shen Zhi tried to comfort Yi Qianqian, "As long as we don't give up, we will always find a way out."

A petite figure suddenly appeared in front of them, shouting in surprise: "We found the village!"

"What?" The two stood up in disbelief, and Shen Zhi asked anxiously: "Are you sure? You didn't go to check it out?"

Jiang Linghan looked excited and nodded affirmatively: "I only saw the outline of the village. For safety reasons, you said that you must come back to report if you see an accident. I rushed back immediately. There must be people in the village. We are about to go out, haha!"

Hearing these words, Shen Zhi was still calm despite his excitement: "Tell me the direction, I will go to explore, Qianqian, you stay here and don't walk around, Hanhan, you follow me to support, the more you see the dawn, the more you need to calm down."

Yi Qianqian and Jiang Linghan calmed down instantly and nodded to confirm. The long-term life and death training has already trained them into a warrior.

The two recovered for a moment, relying on the light of the silver moon, and walked forward carefully one after the other.

The jungle looked even denser under the moonlight. Through the sparse gaps in the jungle, Shen Zhi and Yi Qianqian vaguely saw the outline of a village.

The village sat quietly in the moonlight, as if it was a corner forgotten by the world. Surrounded by dense trees, the village was isolated from the world and looked particularly mysterious.

Shen Zhi approached the village cautiously, fearing that he would disturb the residents inside. The village had a tall wooden wall, and the gate on one side was open casually. Through the gate, several houses were built with wood and thatch, which looked simple and natural. But the whole environment was silent, and there was no trace of human life at all.

Shen Zhi made a gesture to Jiang Linghan, indicating that she should stay where she was, and then walked into the gate alone with trepidation. He looked around and was instantly shocked.

The scene in front of him terrified Shen Zhi. There were many human corpses scattered on the ground, all of which had turned into mummies. Their clothes had signs of corrosion, which was a kind of simple hunter clothing. The body was shriveled, and the skin was tightly attached to the bones. The wooden house was tilted here and there, as if it had been forcibly broken open, and the body could be vaguely seen.

There was a palpitating smell in the air, which was the breath of death. Shen Zhi felt dizzy, but he tried to steady his breathing and forced himself to stay calm.

After a closer look, these bodies seemed to be nothing special. They looked like ordinary villagers, without any signs of fighting.

Carefully came to a slightly intact wooden house on the left, where there were three bodies, two adults and a child. The child was about to jump out of the window, but died in the window. His death was still in a state of escape. There was a package of clothes on the table that had not been tied up in time. Obviously, the family realized the crisis and wanted to escape, but it was too late. All the bodies were corroded by something, and the clothes were drilled into the body and the blood was sucked dry.

Shen Zhi wanted to take the child down from the window with pity, and prepared to put him next to his parents on the ground. But he was shocked as soon as he touched it. The body was still warm. This was a big shock. It meant that the murderer might still be nearby.

No matter what it was, let's leave first. Shen Zhi couldn't think about it anymore. He picked up the package on the table and ran out quietly.

Shen Zhi was still worried and anxious when he left the village. He made a gesture to Jiang Linghan and pulled her back quickly.

He hurried back to the cave and said to the two puzzled women: "They are all corpses. The blood has been sucked out. The corpses are still warm. It is very likely that the murderer is still nearby. No matter what it is, don't be in danger. We need to leave as soon as possible."

Jiang Linghan was about to speak when a crazy laugh came from the door: "I thought there was a fish that slipped through the net, but I didn't expect to meet three little babies. What is this? Two top beauties. Haha, an unexpected harvest!"

As soon as the words fell, the bluestone covering the doorway burst open, and a figure blocked the doorway.

Shen Zhi felt cold all over. Hearing such words, there was no need to negotiate or delay time. Through the light of the silver moon, he saw a man in red staring at Yi Qianqian and Jiang Linghan with shining eyes.

"Fu Er!" Shen Zhi shouted and rushed up directly. He knew that he had to fight to the death. When two people meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.

The two women cooperated tacitly. At the moment when Shen Zhi started, they immediately retreated to another room inside, where there was a secret escape passage. The code word "Fu Er" was to let the two women hide, and Shen Zhi went forward to fight, and then decide other strategies depending on the situation.

"Want to run?" The man in red sneered, raised his hand and pointed, and pinched the magic formula with his fingers. A blood-colored energy snake quickly rushed towards Shen Zhi and went straight to his face.

Shen Zhi reacted quickly and raised his hand to punch the blood snake. The power contained in the blood snake made him retreat two steps. The blood snake wrapped around his fist, making a hissing corrosion sound. The light film on his fist quickly dissipated under the corrosion of the blood snake, and the blood light and the light film slowly canceled each other out.
