They were either dressed in heavy armor or had black cloaks draped over their bodies.
Some of them walked with heavy footsteps while some of them were so light that they looked like they could be blown away by a gust of wind. Zhang Lisheng clenched his fists as goosebumps rose all over his body. His entire body was in an extremely tense state.
In the eyes of Alice and the rest, these people who were dressed up strangely were not at all surprising. In Honolulu, an international tourist destination that was a fusion of many cultures, there was no lack of unconventional people. It was indeed very creative to dress up as knights or mages to go camping and barbecue in the suburbs. However, in the eyes of the Hawaiians, it was not to the extent that it was surprising.
"Hey, guys, are you playing hide-and-seek? You look so handsome, but it's a bit too hot. Fortunately, the sun has gone down now, haha..." Xia Luo and Carment said in unison as they walked along the forest trail. It was natural for strange campers to greet and joke with each other when they met each other.
At this time, the attention of the two beautiful models was completely focused on Zhang Lisheng. Ashley said to the young man in a softer voice than before, "Oh, Mr. Lisheng, you're really an amazing person! You're so young, but you're already able to support such a big factory …
Hey, why is your face covered in sweat? Are you tired? Do you need my help? "
It was not that the girl did not understand that such a question might hurt the young man's self-esteem, but she also knew that a young man in his teens who could earn more than a hundred million a year could not possibly be as ordinary as his appearance.
For this kind of person, the best way to get along with them for a short period of time was to take the initiative to attack frequently and fiercely.
Ashley spared no effort to seduce Zhang Lisheng while Charlotte and Carmen, on the other hand, realized that something was not quite right when the person they were teasing took off his hood and revealed a skinny face with a black left side and a mottled rusty green on the right side staring at the two of them.
"Oh, sh * t. Oh, no, sir. We don't have any bad intentions. We're just joking. S-Sorry …" Charlotte swallowed her saliva and forced a smile on her face as the last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon.
What responded to the boy's apology was a wisp of tasteless faint green smoke that came out of the skinny man's mouth.
The green smoke drifted gently into Charlotte's nostrils. In an instant, the boy's mouth widened as though he was screaming in horror. However, there was no sound coming out of his throat at all.
Then, his skin turned from a healthy light brown to a strange light green color. The oil in his body oozed out from his pores and dripped onto the ground. In the end, he melted into a pile of rotten flesh like a wax figure that had been touched by fire and collapsed.
"Oh no, oh no, no, no …" Seeing that her boyfriend had fallen to the ground, Georgina actually pounced on the pile of cured meat on the ground. The girl knelt on the ground and before she could lift up Charlot's half-melted head, her skin had already turned light green. She pounced on the pile of meat that her boyfriend had turned into and stuck together.
"Ah …" The others screamed at the horrifying scene. Everyone. Only Zhang chewed on. Only with Zhang. Zhang. of of of of of of Charlotte. Of them.
What welcomed everyone's screams was the sharp sword held in the hands of a tall man with a square nose and wide mouth who was as fierce and tough as a lion.
Like cutting mature wheat stalks, the man cut the loudest ones, namely the photographer Chelsea, the model Caroline, and Bonnie, into two halves, causing blood to spray everywhere.
Soon, everyone quietened down when they saw the blood flowing all over the place.
The path in the woods became silent, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of teeth chattering that could not be suppressed.
At this moment, a stooped old man, who was holding a thick, hard-covered book in both of his hands, wearing a purple robe and having his hair shaved in the middle of his head, arrived at the center of the battlefield under the protection of two strong, heavily armored warriors.
Without a trace of pity, he glanced at Alice, Ashley, and the others who were pale. Opening the book in his hand, he began to recite an unknown incantation in a deep voice.
As the old man's deep incantation echoed above the woods, a few distorted human silhouettes drifted out of the wreckage of the five victims, including Charlotte, Georgina, and the rest, on the ground.
The black smoke-like silhouettes seemed to be struggling with all their might, but in the end, they were still engulfed by the big book in the old man's hand like a black hole engulfing the escaping light.
After engulfing all of the human-shaped silhouettes, the pages of the big book clearly showed the most memorable major events that Charlotte, Georgina, Bonnie, Chelsea, and Caroline had experienced in their lives.
After flipping through the book hastily, the old man realized that all of the records were private matters such as love entanglements or the good times they had spent with their parents and family. Disappointed, he closed his eyes and slowly closed the book as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
As the book was closed, the pictures of Charlotte and the other four people on the page turned into wisps of smoke that emitted the sound of English sentences as it drifted in all directions and crashed into the bodies of those slaughterers.
After spending a total of three to four minutes to finally close the book, a hint of joy finally crept upon the old man's face. Tiredly, he said, "The 'enlightenment' this time has been completed smoothly. During the time when the sun rises and sets for nine times, we can freely use these devil's language." His voice had actually turned into the standard English language.
Upon hearing the old man's words, the majestic man by the side put away his long sword. "Nine days' time is enough, Sage Altman.
This world is really amazing. There's a giant beast that can run freely in the wild that has a body length of nearly 40 cubits that requires you to use your 'Divine Vision Spell' to see through its whereabouts. Me, Julinas, and Spellcaster can't even kill it with just one strike, but the 'master' of this world is actually so weak … "
"Weak, Casdia. When they sat in those alchemy machines and flew in the sky to drop a bomb that could kill hundreds of your colleagues, you didn't think that they were weak at all," the skinny man with green and black skin said as he looked at the remaining prey with the help of the moonlight.
With the help of the moonlight, he looked at the remaining prey. "Sage Altman, since you've only used five 'materials' to complete the 'Enlightenment', then I'll have to give it to you first, Sage Altman.
Can I handle the rest of the prey? I'm very curious about the structure of their brains. "
"Wizard Julinas, we must understand the world of these devils as soon as possible. The first batch of captives is very important so I can't let you waste them. I'm sorry.
Casdia, drag the captives into the woods and interrogate them separately. "
As the old man gave his order, the warriors began to skillfully tie up the prey with thick ropes that were just made from the bark of trees and separated them before dragging them into the woods.
Due to the reason that Zhang Lisheng had put on a look of being captured without putting up a fight right from the beginning, the Mountoad in his backpack would launch a fatal blow and expand its body to protect its owner as long as someone attacked him. The worst that could happen to him would only be to perish together with the enemy.
However, even though he was confirmed to be the most harmless, he was still pulled up from the ground and dragged into the woods by a bald young man in a black cloak who was wearing a leather armor and had a longbow and quiver on his shoulder with just his hands.
After pulling Zhang Lisheng and walking in the dark woods for a while, the bald young man suddenly let go of the hemp rope and turned around to remove the longbow from his shoulder in a smooth manner before shooting an arrow at his back.
The arrow quickly brushed past Zhang Lisheng's neck and shot into the backpack on his back. The great force actually sent the young man's body flying and nailed him onto a thick spruce tree trunk that was 34 meters tall together with his backpack. It was only at this moment that an extremely sharp 'whoosh …' sound resonated in his ears.
He had experienced life and death situations before, but it had never made him feel so helpless like this time. Zhang Lisheng's heart was pounding madly. All of a sudden, a cold voice resonated in his ears, "If you run away, the next arrow will pierce through your head.
If you lie, I'll pierce through your limbs and nail you onto the tree! "
"Yes." After panting a few times, Zhang Lisheng felt that it was not a hopeless situation where he had to fight to the death yet. It was best for him to go with the flow, so he no longer suppressed the fear in his heart and answered honestly with a trembling voice.
"Your name?"
"Zhang Lisheng."
"Occupation?"
"Student, and you even opened a slaughterhouse …"
The bald archer from the supernatural realm asked a few ordinary questions in the beginning and Zhang Lisheng answered all of them honestly. As the both of them were asking and answering each other smoothly, a shriek came from far away all of a sudden.
The young man, who was extremely experienced in killing, could tell that the shriek should be the last sound made after Carmen's neck was cut. His pupils shrunk right away. At this time, he heard the archer suddenly asking an unexpected question, "Who do you think is the most powerful person in this world?"
"The most powerful person … Erm, Einstein, Newton, Hawking, and Tubalin. The first two have passed away."
"Why do you think they're powerful?"
"Einstein invented the general theory of relativity. I don't understand this theory very well but it's said that it can explain most of the problems in the world.
Newton laid the foundation of modern physics.
Hawking used 'A Brief History of Time' to boldly speculate the origin of the universe while Tubalin guessed your existence … "
"What did you say?" Zhang Lisheng's last sentence made the archer's heart jolt. At the moment when he was distracted, a huge beast's mouth full of teeth that were as sharp as steel rods suddenly appeared in the dark air behind him.
The young archer, who was proud of his sharp ears and eyes, who could still see and hear the flapping wings of a flying insect from a hundred steps away in the dark forest, instinctively felt that a fatal danger was approaching. Dumbstruck, he did not turn his head at all and just rolled to the side to dodge agilely.
Just when he was about to escape from the beast's mouth, the giant beast's head suddenly enlarged by more than ten times. It extended its mouth forward and effortlessly licked the archer into its stomach.
