Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 744: Back to the Surface

After the crowd spreads to look for the exit, female cultivator Meng and female cultivator Cui gather their Junior brothers in one corner together to check on them. Junior Brother Qin had gained consciousness despite his badly wounded state.

Urg~

The male cultivator called Qin opened his eyes and tried to move only to feel pain all over his body that his face turned paler than it is. He immediately fell back on his lying position after the pain spread throughout his whole body. He was even panting due to problems with his breathing due to his injuries.

Cultivator Meng said, "Don’t move! If you reopen your wounds, I won’t have enough qi to heal you!"

"Xiao Zou, how are you feeling?" Cultivator Cui asked her other Junior Brother only to see his eyes flash red as he stared at his Senior Brother Qin’s blood trailing on his body. He immediately avoided them as he smelled blood.

He is no longer an ordinary human but a mutated one that desires blood due to whatever changes the undead guardian had done in his body. His Senior Sister Cui actually noticed the changes in his eyes when he spotted blood as well as his strong desire for it.

Female Cultivator Cui turned serious and said, "Meng’er, Xiao Qin, stay here for now to rest. I will look for the exit with Xiao Zou."

"Xiao Qin don’t move unless necessary. Focus on healing yourself first!" the Senior Sister of the group said.

Her Junior Sister Meng and Junior Brother Qin nod to her instructions as they watch her drag their Junior Brother Zou away from them. After being away from the others, Cultivator Cui drags her Junior Brother in some corner to avoid everyone’s eyes on them. They ended up hiding near the stairs in the middle path. She pushed her Junior Brother at the wall and stared straight at his crimson eyes. Despite the half burned face of her Junior Brother those eyes that used to be brown in color had turned crimson at this moment.

Even Cultivator Zou was startled, "Xiao Zou, what happened to you? Your face, your eyes, what did that monster do to you?"

"S-Shijie... Aren’t you... afraid of me? I... do not think... that I am still a human now," Cultivator Zou said with a pained expression on his face even so his eyes remained icy as if it was no longer a part of him.

Senior Sister Cui said, "Your eyes change when you look at the injuries of Xiao Qin. Is it blood which attracts you?"

Even though the expression of Cultivator Zou is ugly, he still nodded as he didn’t want to lie to his Senior Sister.

"Yes... But don’t worry I can still bear with it. Shijie, I promise you I will not lose control," said Junior Brother Zou. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

His Senior Sister Cui looked at him worriedly only to sigh in the end and step away from him and no longer held his face. After thinking about it for a while, she pulled out a knife and cut her left arm and placed it in front of her Junior Brother.

"I don’t want to see you struggle as we escape. We all need to come out of this place alive. Shidi, drink my blood, at least enough to ensure you will not lose control on our way out. I believe you are now stronger than any of us. If something happens, I will leave the rest to you."

Gulps~

Cultivator Zou unconsciously swallowed his saliva at the sight of fresh blood in front of him. But he controlled himself to push his Senior Sister’s hand away and decline this offer.

"Shijie, there is no need, I... Hmp!"

His Senior Sister Cui had pushed her wounded arm directly to his mouth. With the strong scent of blood and sweet taste on the tip of his tongue, Cultivator Zou didn’t dare to swallow anything.

On the other hand, his Senior Sister Cui was annoyed by his hesitation, "Drink now that it is in your mouth. If you dare vomit my blood I’m gonna beat you up, you damn brat!"

Having no other choice at all, Cultivator Zou had no other choice but to drink her blood. Under the eyes of his senior sister Cui, the burn part of his face slowly heals as he drinks someone’s blood. It seems that his current body allowed him to heal himself faster than using Death Qi which now replaced his original Qi inside his body. This might be due to the experimentation that was done on him.

Once he moved away his mouth from his Senior Sister’s arm, his newly healed face which used to be good looking is much more attractive now that he had drank blood adding to the touch were those pairs of crimson eyes, even Cultivator Cui had fallen in daze for a moment.

"Shijie... Shijie?" Cultivator Zou said.

It was only then did the dazed female cultivator wake up in reality and suddenly, the whole area started shaking, scaring everyone in the building.

"This is... earthquake?"

"No. The whole place is about to fall. Shijie, we need to find the exit now!" said the male cultivator, Zou, who immediately made a move to protect her.

He was about to drag his Senior Sister Cui away from this place when he suddenly noticed a presence that made him freeze. The closer this presence is, the more the two of them feel it. This time even his Senior Sister had turned her head to look at the stairs and eventually the two of them heard some unhurried footsteps coming down from it.

In the point of view of the two cultivators, as if the world had stopped and the crumbling building wasn’t happening, as if the incoming sound of footsteps coming closer to them was the only thing in their world. They couldn’t help but wait for the owner of these unhurried footsteps. Once they saw the appearance of the man, they recognized him as Ru Yunlan. But with the death god temporarily occupying the body, the whole demeanor around this Ru Yunlan is completely different from what they remember.

The Ru Yunlan they met before was just a young man that is cautious in nature, but some of his actions from before were full of holes which shows he is still young and the type who hasn’t seen much of the world. That’s why their group chose to approach him, at least speaking with him will not cause them harm. But the current Ru Yunlan had an eerie atmosphere around him. Powerful and inhuman as well as something that isn’t mortal.

The Death God also noticed the two and said, "A human and a blood halfling. Why are you two still flirting in this place?"

"Blood Halfling?" The two asked at the same time as they were surprised themselves.

The Death God pointed, "Your body is broken but with the blood of a virgin, it’s being repaired. Anyway there is no time to waste."

As soon as the Death God had arrived the three death warriors who had saved the prisoners had kneeled before him saluting him as their master.

"Master, we cannot find the exit."

"There was nothing found in this area."

"Not even in the guardian’s abode was found."

Upon hearing this the God of Death had longed to realize this. This is a building that was created by those undead rulers who would instantly turn into ashes as long as they were exposed under the sun. That’s why the so-called exit from this place never existed as they never intended to let those who were dragged in this escape from their clutches.

"That is as expected. Those old fools would never let the food that entered their house."

"Gather people. I will forcibly open a path that will lead us outside."

The three death warriors as well as the two young cultivators called Cui and Zou had called everyone over. As for the Death God, he poured a lot of Death Qi in the Death Scythe in his hand. With one slash above him, as if a huge laser cannon had hit the area above his head. Followed by the loud sound of something continuously breaking those who were left on the desert noticed the explosion this attack had caused and a clear hole appeared,

Within the desert area, a huge hole appeared. It was too obvious that those who were at the area all peered down on this hole only to see an endless abyss which gave them fear. As for the people from down below, they were now flying through this hole planning to escape from where they are. Those that cannot fly were tied up by the death god and dragged them with him as he leads the group. He also cleared most of the debris that was falling on to them simply with a wave of his hand.

"It’s the exit. We can finally see the light of the surface!"

When they finally saw the light at the other side of the hole, everyone realized that this exit which was forcibly made had truly led them to the surface where the desert exists.
