C26 (1/2)
When Zhan Tianming returned to his Nanqing Village, it was already dusk.
In the western horizon, the sunset looked like blood.
”Woo woo …”
”Wuu … wuu …” Hai-ge, why did you leave just like that … ”Sob, sob …”
A mournful wail came from the village.
Zhan Tianming was startled.
This sound?
With that, Zhan Tianming activated the Nine Dragons Step and quickly escaped.
In front of him, a woman was crying her heart out.
Lying in front of the woman was an ice-cold corpse. There were patches of blood on its clothes.
Beat him to death.
Anyone could tell with a single glance.
The dead man was beaten to death.
”Mu …”
”Third Uncle of Wood?”
Seeing the cold corpse, Zhan Tianming's nose turned sour, and tears started rolling down his face.
Dead?
Third Uncle of Wood is dead!
This...
How could this be?
Zhan Tianming's heart was in pain.
How could his best Third Uncle of Wood suddenly die?
Suddenly, Zhan Tianming fell in front of Mu Hai's corpse.
”Third Uncle of Wood... Third Uncle of Wood... ”
He shook Mu Hai's body, but unfortunately, there was no reaction.
Mu Hai's body had already turned stiff.
”What exactly is going on? ”Just what is going on …”
”Who can tell me?”
Ah!
Zhan Tianming's voice resounded throughout the entire village, but no one could tell him the reason.
”Tianming, Hai-ge died wrongfully …” ”Sob, sob …” Third Aunt was already crying.
”Third Aunt, what exactly happened? Quickly tell me.” Zhan Tianming choked up.
He would remember all of Mu Hai's kindness in his heart.
Originally, he had wanted to repay Mu Hai.
However …
The scene in front of his eyes was like a sharp poisonous thorn, piercing into Zhan Tianming's heart ruthlessly.
Pain?
That was no longer the word for pain.
In this world, there were two people who treated him the best. One was Mu Hai, and the other was Liu Yu.
But now, Mu Hai was dead.
Mu Hai who was in his prime, died just like that?
Furthermore, he was beaten to death.
”Tianming, I …” I don't know how Hai-ge died either... ”Sob, sob …”
Third Aunt cried her heart out.
”I just got back from the field, and I heard someone say that Hai-ge …” Wu wu wu … Said someone found Hai-ge's body in a broken temple outside of the village. ”So they brought Hai-ge back …”
”Woo woo …”
”Ding dong!”
”Congratulations to host Zhan Tianming for triggering the killer hunt mission. Any mission completed, will be rewarded 10000 experience points.”
”Do you want to pick it up?”
”Accept!”
Zhan Tianming gritted his teeth as he accepted the mission.
Even if he didn't have this quest, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
He definitely could not let Mu Hai die in vain.
After comforting Third Aunt, Zhan Tianming walked towards the dilapidated temple outside the village with tears in his eyes.
”Yi, isn't that Zhan Tianming?”
”Hehe, I never thought that he would actually not run away.”
”Humph!” So what's the difference? ”
”That's right. With his strength that was so weak that even my Five-Colored Chicken couldn't beat him, he would die no matter where he ran to. If he did not escape, at least he would not implicate Uncle Mu Hai and Goudan. Sigh, such a pity, Uncle Mu Hai was perfectly fine, why did he suddenly die? ”
”Let's go and beat Zhan Tianming up again. Otherwise, we won't have a chance to do so tomorrow.”
”Uncle Mu Hai is already dead, I have no mood to beat him up.”
”I'm not in the mood to beat someone up today either.”
”You guys aren't in the mood. We are.”
After saying that, a few youths chased after the direction that Zhan Tianming had left in, while the others turned around and left.
At a run-down temple outside the village.
The dilapidated building had been abandoned for more than ten years, and the tiles on the roof only covered a third of the roof. The wind blew, causing crackling sounds.
Around him, weeds were growing.
Zhan Tianming arrived at the run-down temple.
