Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 388 - 144: Blood Money, Spiders, Dolls, Dogs—The Full Paradise Garden Experience
They didn’t know why they had to run.
Anyway, they saw the Ancestor fleeing, so they followed suit.
The woman in brown clothes and the death row bandits were scared out of their wits, fleeing along with them.
But just then, the sky suddenly darkened, like a midsummer storm.
Thick yellow-brown clouds filled the sky, drifting from afar.
Ahfei kept running, when suddenly something tripped him, sending him sprawling forward, falling onto the muddy ground.
He cursed aloud, just about to get up, when suddenly he saw a line of ominous bloody words appear on the ground: Hide.
"Hide?"
"Screw you!"
Ahfei didn’t care about the words at all.
At the same time, many others saw the words too, but in a variety of ways; for some, they appeared on the ground, for others, they floated in the air, or emerged on their clothes...
No matter how, these words clearly imprinted themselves in their eyes, showing them the words "Hide."
But the woman in brown did not see it.
Ahfei continued to flee.
But after a short run, suddenly... he suddenly saw a line of wicked blood words appearing on a rock not far away: Ten.
In the next moment, a line of blood words appeared on a tree: Nine.
Then, the blood words began to gradually appear, making Ahfei realize it seemed like a countdown.
Remembering the terrifying appearance of the "Ghost Spider", Ahfei decided to hide for a bit.
...
In fact, besides Ahfei, Li Yuan, Cui Wuji, and Jing Banfeng, who were running from afar, also saw the bloody "Hide", and the countdown.
The three of them exchanged a glance.
"Hide."
"Hide."
"Hide."
The three instantly reached a consensus.
Jing Banfeng immediately landed, and vanished, hiding somewhere unknown.
Cui Wuji tried to find Li Yuan, only to discover that Master Li had already vanished. He was speechless, but upon seeing a grotesque bloody "Five" appear on the stone in front of him, he hastily found a place to hide.
As for Li Yuan, he used the "Concealing Breath Skill" and "Stealth Skill", then took out the 124 [Copper Pendants] he always carried in the [Equipment Bar], holding them tightly, then suppressed his accelerating heartbeat, putting himself in a "disappeared" state.
He watched the blood words in front of him turn to "Zero"...
And the surroundings quieted down.
Suddenly, from afar came a scream so shrill it didn’t sound human.
Followed closely by another scream...
Li Yuan remained motionless, hiding behind a rock, cold chills crawling up his back.
...
Ahfei also hid behind a rock.
Listening to the screams, fear gripped his heart. Suddenly... he heard footsteps.
The footsteps were light, small, like those of a child.
Ahfei dared not show his face.
And the child seemed to be searching for someone, the sound coming closer and then moving further away, but then returning in his direction after a while.
Ahfei carefully shifted his steps, but his weak legs trembled, accidentally kicking a stone.
In the next instant, a rotten little hand extended from behind the rock, swiftly grabbing Ahfei and abruptly pulling him away.
Ahfei’s eyes widened, seeing a completely rotten child, as if dead for who knows how long.
The child was staring at him, eyes filled with malice, while the corners of its mouth stretched upward, seemingly smiling joyfully.
"Ahhhh!!"
Ahfei turned pale with fright, his mind consumed by terror, screaming at the top of his lungs.
...
Almost simultaneously, Li Yuan also detected the footsteps.
He remained motionless.
The footsteps circled around him, searching, but seemingly didn’t find him, then disappeared.
Li Yuan stayed completely still, tense from head to toe, not making a sound.
To his surprise, none of the [Copper Pendants] he clutched were damaged...
This meant he wasn’t attacked.
Why was that?
If you aren’t found, you aren’t attacked?
And the adversary... seemed to be searching for him using only human sight and hearing?
...
...
Night quickly fell.
Restless mist, like immense undead, drifted faintly.
The woman in brown sat on the barren land, staring in terror at the flayed bodies around her...
The bodies were not dead, still writhing on the ground.
She trembled as she looked around.
Everything happening here had exceeded her imagination, and she even didn’t know why she was still alive...
Everyone around her was dead.
But why was she not dead?
She looked around...
There wasn’t a soul in sight.
Just then, she suddenly heard a dog barking.
The barking came from afar, rapidly approaching behind her, something shrouded in shadow.
From the shadows, a pair of pale fangs descended, biting into the woman’s neck...
...
...
Midnight...
Inside the tent.
The burly man who had taken Gold Yuanbao let out a burp, slowly waking up, rubbing his head, muttering something unintelligible.
The tent contained good wine and food, and he had been thoroughly intoxicated, neglecting whatever was happening outside, surprisingly undisturbed by anyone.
The burly man cautiously peeked outside, observing for a moment, curiously said: "It’s dark, huh? Where is everyone?"
As he spoke, he suddenly felt intense stomach pain... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Clutching his belly, he wanted to relieve himself.
After only a few steps, he let out a miserable scream, his body’s blood seemingly out of control, coursing wildly, surfacing, and even flowing out from the seven orifices...
The area of the heart on his left chest suddenly caved in, as though his heart inside had vanished.
His eyes wide open, he died miserably in front of the tent.
He had no clue why he died...
And the alluring Gold Yuanbao in his arms seemed affected by some force, rolling out onto the yellow ground, uncollected, unattended, as if waiting for the next person to pick it up.
