Nevertheless, Sheyan's shaking was futile. Mbenga's lifeless eyes didn't show any signs of life. His entire body was limp and could be described as gossamer. His life was like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
"Ahhhh!" Sheyan couldn't help but deliver a forceful slap, leaving a distinct palm print on Mbenga's face. Blood trickled out from his nose as Mbenga roared furiously.
"You cannot die! You must at least open your eyes to take a look before you die! "
For unknown reasons, Sheyan felt his nose turning sour as he roared, as though something was violently surging in his chest. He couldn't help recalling that rainy night, that night when he was chased to the brink of desperation before entering the nightmare realm! If not for his fortuitous encounter in the nightmare realm, he would've been like Mbenga, vanishing into thin air from this world with an intense unwillingness......
While doing so, Sheyan pinched Mbenga's nose and forced the 'Endless Spirited Vodka' down his throat. Although copious amounts of alcohol flowed out from the corners of his mouth, Sheyan could distinctly observe Mbenga's adam's apple trembling. This indicated that he had at least drank a mouthful of 'Endless Spirited Vodka', and his rapidly draining life force had been slightly buffered!
Gradually, Mbenga's dilated and lifeless pupils contracted. His fingers twitched slightly, before he clearly observed Sheyan. Then, he revealed his trademark honest smile and asked.
"You …... you obtained the 'Stairway of the Sun'?"
Sheyan's eyes turned hot. Even at this moment, Mbenga was still concerned about whether he had obtained the 'Stairway of the Sun'! He took a deep breath and said seriously, "You're right.
"You did it, Mbenga, you did it! You personally slayed Guarba, you avenged your clansmen! Look! "
Upon hearing this news, Mbenga was instantly stunned. Sheyan then pulled him up and placed his hand on Sheyan's shoulder, allowing Mbenga to personally witness the lifeless corpse of Guarba.
"Yes! You, did, it! You personally stabbed him to death with your spear. "
Clang! That pike that Mbenga had unconsciously grasped finally fell back to the ground.
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the horizon, followed by a torrential downpour. Mbenga panted heavily as he raised his head and shut his eyes. His entire face was covered in water droplets, and no one could tell if it was tears or water droplets on his face.
"Kuria …"
His thick lips suddenly spat out such a syllable. Scenes after scenes flashed through Mbenga's mind.
Happy families, adorable children, a woman he secretly loved, a crazy lover, an infuriating slaughter, and then hundreds of people's heads exploding at the same time, unleashing a soul-shattering curse. The agony of having one's soul being torn apart … all of this came to an end today!
"Thank you!"
These two words conveyed all his joys, sorrows and joys, joys and sorrows. Mbenga shook off Sheyan's support and staggered several steps forward. Then, he slowly leaned against the Coiled Serpent Colossus and sat down. Although his chest was heaving up and down violently, his expression was one of tranquility and serenity. Of course, there was also a feeling of relief from a heavy burden.
"I can finally be free, my friend. Thank you for fulfilling my final wish. I shall reunite with my family. Thus, in my heart, no, the greatest secret of Port Qom and the Coiled Serpent Colossus tribe, shall belong to you. This is also the final reward you deserve …."
A minute later, beneath the Coiled Serpent Colossus.
Mbenga's current Gundazan had died.
He was 37 years old.
He died peacefully, and his lips even curled into a faint smile, as though he was asleep. To Mbenga who had shouldered too many burdens, death was indeed a complete and utter release.
Sheyan took a deep breath, then stood up with a look of shock on his face.
"The truth, is actually like this!! If not for Mbenga possessing a portion of the Gundazan's memories, then ….. even I would never have guessed that the truth I had been searching tirelessly for, was actually from the very beginning! "
*****
The torrential downpour was extremely mournful and intense, as though it would sweep across the heavens and submerge the earth. It was as though the wet season had arrived early.
At present, Sheyan's entire body was smeared with that odor-concealing medicine. Both his arms were intact, and with the assistance of his incisive '+ 7 West', it wasn't too difficult for him to climb back up the precipice of the capital city ruins. He traversed through the cobweb-like labyrinth of the mountain walls. Because this place had previously been invaded by those biochemical abominations, the mucus and blood stains on the ground had become the best signposts.
Along the way, Sheyan cleverly avoided several areas where intense battles were still taking place. Then, he drilled out from a hole created by those biochemical abominations. If his conjecture wasn't wrong, then the path ahead should lead him to the thick fog region.
All of a sudden, he sensed a tremendous threat approaching from the side. Sheyan, who had been tensed up all this while, immediately dodged to the side and shielded his head with both hands.
Boom! A thunderous boom reverberated in, as an extremely well-constructed ancient wall shattered into pieces. Large amounts of shattered rocks scattered into the air, as dust pervaded the air. A repulsive scarlet Licker had pinned down a barbaric Sun subtribe warrior to the ground.
Its monstrous strength obviously surpassed that Sun subtribe warrior. Its terrifyingly incisive claws pressed down bit by bit. Without skin, its exposed muscles were exceedingly horrifying, as though it would sever the enemy's carotid artery in the next second, and cause warm and sweet blood to spurt out.
Sheyan recalled seeing this Sun subtribe warrior in the fiery plaza. He wasn't in a disadvantageous position against Mbenga's assaults, and was rather tyrannical.
Facing the pressing threat of his foe, that Sun subtribe warrior released a low growl like a wild beast. His head tilted, as the muscles on his arms tightened up. His entire body swelled up by half, and was evidently a trusted aide of Gudak, one who had come into contact with the secrets of the 'Stairway of the Sun'.
His eyes were bloodshot, as he forcefully pushed his wooden shield upwards. After gaining a little space, he immediately rolled away. Then, he pulled out a polished one-handed stone hatchet from his waist, before viciously smashing it down onto the Licker's head.
The Licker's greatest weakness was its head! Due to the accelerated decaying of its skull, its brain was directly exposed to the air. Furthermore, the Licker had already suffered considerable injuries in the previous battle. Thus, it instantly released a mournful roar, but its brain was smashed into pieces like tofu. Its ash-grey contents splashed onto Sheyan's face, as the repulsive fishy stench nearly caused Sheyan to vomit.
Sheyan knew that the Licker's brain was a highly concentrated area of viruses, and naturally didn't dare to allow it to linger on his face. He immediately scooped up a random rock from the ground, and wiped away the incomparably disgusting viscous substance. However, the tenacity of the Licker's vitality exceeded everyone's expectations. Before its death, it actually aimed at that Sun subtribe warrior, and ferociously spat out its tongue!
The Licker's tongue was its mightiest attack, without a doubt. Under the rapid stimulation of the sublingual artery, the tongue's instantaneous firing speed exceeded that of a bullet. With a flash of red, it pierced through the tongue of that barbaric Sun subtribe warrior. When it retracted, it had already coiled up large chunks of flesh and blood.
That Sun subtribe warrior was wounded, and his barbaric nature flared up. With a wild roar, he instantly pounced towards the Licker. His thick arms gripped the Licker's neck, and forcefully twisted it, before viciously pulling it outwards!
A crisp sound rang out, as the neck of that Licker twisted to the side. One could even observe a portion of its eerie white spine being pulled out. That horrifying tongue drooped down powerlessly, as its entire body started twitching violently. Evidently, there was no way for it to survive.
Not only that, that injured Sun subtribe warrior's berserk nature flared up, as he raised his stone axe and smashed down towards the Licker's head. Blood and brain matter splashed out in all directions. Only after smashing the Licker's head into a pile of minced meat did he relent. It wasn't surprising that he was so infuriated. That Licker had already slain two of his tribesmen, and even gravely wounded him. His frenzied vengeance had caused him to disregard everything, and sink into a deranged state.
After venting his anger, that Sun subtribe warrior mounted the Licker, and panted heavily. All of a sudden, he turned around and glanced towards Sheyan. Sheyan's heart jolted. Actually, he had long wanted to flee, but this Sun subtribe warrior had coincidentally obstructed his path of escape. Furthermore, there were other Sun subtribe warriors patrolling behind him. Sheyan was truly caught between a rock and a hard place.
The nostrils of that Sun subtribe warrior twitched twice, as his gradually dimming gaze suddenly turned incomparably vigilant. His eyes started turning bloodshot once more. Sheyan instantly realized that his concocted concoctions weren't reliable within 3 metres. Moreover, it seemed like his actions of wiping away the Licker's brain matter that splashed onto his face was too big, and had exposed himself!
Sheyan was extremely decisive. The moment he sensed something amiss, he immediately pulled out 'Ambition', and used 'Rum and Songs' to stun that Licker for two seconds. Then, he dashed past the Licker, while casually tossing out a concocted concocted concocted concoctions that lowered agility! A faint green cloud enveloped the entire battlefield. (To be continued.)
