Chapter 94 - Escaping from Burial Grounds (XXIV)

Editor: Kitty

Feng YuLan controlled his sword as he imagined it cutting the monster into pieces, but just after he cut out a piece of meat, the big monster began to take on a strange shape. It seemed as if something inside had been hurt or it had sensed something dangerous. It began to wriggle vigorously.

Ah Lan frowned and thought, Didn’t I kill that thing just now?

Ah Lan soon got his answer. He looked at the ball-shaped monster in front of him in amazement as it began to split. Yes...... it was just like an eggshell. The little life inside the egg struggled to get out. But clearly Ah Lan had used his sword to penetrate the ball-shaped creature before that. Why hadn’t he managed to kill the thing inside?

Soon, Feng YuLan had no time to consider this more because he found that what came out of the ‘eggshell’ was not a thing but a person!

It was a short, naked boy who looked to be about ten years old.

This time, Feng YuLan understood that it was no surprise that stabbing it didn’t kill what was inside. It was because the boy was too thin and small. If he curled into a ball, because the blade was only that big, it would be impossible to hurt the child.

But why would the belly of a big monster contain a little boy? Where did the boy come from?

Feng YuLan had an inexplicable expression as he stared at the child. The little boy crawled out of the monster’s body, soaked in blood. Since Feng YuLan had used the sword to penetrate the monster, he had torn a hole on the monster, which allowed the kid to crawl out.

The boy was not wearing any clothes, and his whole body was covered with blood. It could be seen that he had short black hair... to be precise, his hair was a little long, almost to his shoulder, but it was soaked in red blood. There was also dried blood on his forehead and cheek, and his body was caked in blood. However, one could still see that he had tender and smooth skin. But the child was too thin and small. If Feng YuLan had not seen his small thing at his crotch, he might have thought he was a little girl.

Although the little boy was not wearing anything, he was holding onto something tightly...... It was an umbrella that was red in colour.

It was the kind of umbrella with a long handle that could not be folded. Alternatively, it could also be used as a crutch. However, the red colour of the umbrella was extremely bright. If blood was splashed onto it, it would frighten anyone who saw it.

Seeing this, Feng YuLan suddenly felt a little weird; his heart trembled, and he felt his heart miss a beat.

After the little boy crawled out of the monster’s body, he did not stand up but sat on the ground directly as he held his umbrella. Then, he raised his head and looked at Feng YuLan. The look in his eyes was not at all child-like. He had a complex expression on his face as if he could see through everything. Moreover, Feng YuLan found that the colour of the child’s pupils was very light and grey-black in colour. When the child remained expressionless, he appeared extremely gloomy.

“I’m very happy to be able to see you again.” In the middle of the standoff, the boy suddenly opened his mouth. Ah Lan was caught off guard by his smile, which was very gentle. It was like facing a familiar person. It erased the gloom and indifference on the child’s face.

“What?” Feng YuLan became more puzzled. He did not know the boy, or at least he was sure that he had never met him. So why would the other party say such a thing as if they had met before?

What he said made Feng YuLan feel very uneasy, so he asked, “Who are you?”

“You don’t have to know who I am.” The boy suddenly stood up with the support of his umbrella. He did not care if he exposed his entire body in front of Feng YuLan or even about the sticky blood. Instead, he took the lead in opening his red umbrella. He placed the handle of the bizarre, red umbrella onto his shoulders and let the umbrella cover most of his face.

However, Feng Yulan, who was standing opposite the boy, was surprised to find that after the boy opened his umbrella, the other party’s sense of existence seemed to diminish. Yes, it was as if...... the boy disappeared suddenly, but Feng YuLan did not even notice it and had even neglected his existence...... that kind of feeling.

Feng YuLan did not like this feeling at all. It felt as if he did not have proper control of the current situation. He was aware of the peril he was in and knew that danger was slowly creeping up on him, but he had completely disregarded it and even ignored it without being aware of it...... How strange for him to ignore the child.

“Ah Lan, you never saw me,” the boy said, and following that, he turned the umbrella handle to allow the umbrella to spin continuously.

Feng YuLan appeared to be in a daze. He looked at where the boy was standing, but he seemed to have never seen the boy. His face dimmed.

“You never saw me,” the boy repeated as he revealed a smile under the umbrella.

“Yes, I never saw you,” Feng YuLan repeated after him in a trance, agreeing with the boy’s words, “I never saw you.”

The boy bounced towards Feng YuLan and circled around him. The red umbrella continued to spin: “You never saw me, but you’re going to help me do something next. You should secretly do what I tell you to and not let anyone else know about it.”

Feng YuLan remained standing in the same position. Beside him, his grimoire was still floating, and the pages were still flipping.

The boy continued, “See that huge tree over there? It’s called a spirit tree. The tree is so tall you can’t see the top of it. Its tree and its branches have penetrated the ground and rocks above. It’s the exit to this secret chamber. Its trunk is hollow, and you can drill into the tree and climb up it. When you reach the top, you escape from this secret chamber.”

If Feng YuLan was clear-minded, he would definitely cheer up after hearing this information. He would be so excited to inform his teammates about this. Everyone could head towards the tree and exit through it. But the problem was that Feng YuLan’s mind was not clear at the moment. He had a blank expression and felt no emotions. His eyes were merely staring straight ahead.

The boy standing over there simply smiled. His expression was really gentle and held no malice. He said, “Although I would like to let you win, unfortunately, I can’t let you do that now. I can’t stay in this secret chamber, and I cannot become a loser.

“What I want you to do is very simple. Did Duan Li, the thousand-faced man, give you his carry-on secret chamber? Just give me the medical supplies inside. Also, do everything you can to prevent your team members from finding the exit of the secret chamber until the enemy team wins.”

“Let...... the enemies win?” Feng YuLan seemed to resist this command, although his face remained blank and expressionless.

The boy laughed even more joyously now but was very patient. He said, “Yes, let your enemies win, and after that you can lead your team out of the secret chamber. Although the punishment for failure is a little cruel, I think all of you will be able to bear it.”

Feng YuLan was silent.

“Is that okay? Ah Lan, repeat what I say.” The boy approached Feng YuLan and lowered his voice, using an obvious coaxing tone to influence him.

“Let the enemies win,” Feng YuLan repeated silently.

“Yes...... Let the enemies win. So now give me your medical supplies.”

Feng YuLan remained silent. He raised his left hand, which had a simple ring on his fourth finger. That was the carry-on secret chamber Duan Li had given him. Seriously speaking, Duan Li gave almost all his belongings to Feng YuLan.

Shortly after that, Duan Li and Specter were still fighting with the god, and Luo Jian and his stalker rushed to join them. Standing at the very edge of the vault were the vampire captain of the enemy team and his companions, who had no idea what they should do with this woman dying in their arms. At that very moment, their last teammate appeared.

The vampire team captain was the first one to find out. He wrinkled his nose, smelled a strong aroma of blood, suddenly turned his head, looked at an empty spot, and said, “What have you been doing?!”

The boy holding the red umbrella revealed himself. This time, he was no longer naked and was wearing clothes that appeared extremely big on him and were not suited to his body shape. Even without pants, the hem of the clothes could cover his knees.

In the hands of the boy was a plastic bag. This modern object appeared extremely out-of-place in the tomb and their surroundings, and it soon attracted the attention of the vampire team captain. The boy tilted his head, raised the bag in his hand, and said, “I’m here to deliver some hope to our saviour.”

“Where did you get these from?” The vampire team captain realized that the boy had a lot of medical supplies in his hand, and among them, some medical props might be mixed in.

“Ah, yes, where did I obtain it from?” The boy did not answer the question but walked slowly to the vampire team captain and motioned to the other party to put the poor, dying woman down. Although the vampire team captain did not trust the strange little boy from the bottom of his heart, he had to compromise. The lives of his team members were more important, and he could not be willful.

He laid the woman flat on the ground and watched the boy take out a strange syringe from the bag. The syringe was filled with blood-red liquid. After the injection, he took out a small scalpel and began to cruelly cut flesh off the woman. The burnt flesh could only be cut off, and the rotten, inflamed flesh also could not remain on her.

The boy’s movements were very skilled, and it was unknown where he had learned them. The vampire team captain had always been suspicious of the little boy who joined his team, but his strategist...... That was to say, this long-haired woman really trusted the child. So at the end of the day, even if he didn’t agree, the vampire team captain accepted a little boy as his team member.

After the boy treated the woman’s wound, he took out a lot of plasters and other supplies from the bag and put a large amount of them on the wound. Then, he wrapped the bandage onto her layer by layer until the half of the woman appeared like a mummy.

“The medicine in the syringe is a prop to aid in cell regeneration. It’s very precious. It can make her wound heal in a short time and restructure her cells and organs. But after all, she’s too seriously wounded, so it will take a while for her to wake up. In the meantime, I’ll be the strategist, okay?”

The vampire team captain looked at the boy suspiciously and said, “Frankly, I don’t trust you, but I want to know what you were doing before and why you are back now.”

“I wasn’t up to much. I entered the secret chamber a little later than you, and when I entered, I was in an awkward place. Then, I found a poor little animal...... Oh, it was on its last breath. Someone had cruelly cut its throat, so I saved its life.”

The vampire team captain immediately frowned: “Don’t f*cking say such nonsense. You’d better not let me find out you were doing something else!”

The little boy did not answer him and lowered the edge of his umbrella to cover most of his face.
