Dark Blood Age

Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Witch

“I was hired by Lao Chui, what Zhao Shanhe wants to do is his business.” Chu Yunsheng was not interested. The reason why he joined this group was completely different from Li Yue, so he was not interested in their little argument at all.

Li Yue’s expression instantly changed. Although Chu Yunsheng did not say it directly that he was with Zhao Shanhe, when he said that he was hired by Lao Chui, it meant that he was going to stay with them.

“I think you have misunderstood us, we are not going to abandon them, of course, we will still take them with us. If we are moving fast enough, we can get to Jin Ling city in one day. People won’t die within just a day because of hunger. But if Zhao Shanhe wants to spend more time finding the food, we will have a higher chance of encountering insects. If we really encounter insects, we will all die!” Li Yue’s suggestion was not all wrong. There were too many uncertainties. Maybe if they could bear a little bit longer, they could all get to Jin Ling city sooner. At that time they could get all the help they needed.

But Chu Yunsheng just smiled, he didn’t say anything.

“Okay, brother Chu, as long as you stay neutral like Huang Renkuan!” Li Yue reluctantly smiled. In fact, he didn’t expect much from Chu Yunsheng. The first reason was that Chu Yunsheng was new to the group, they were not that close. The second reason was that Chu Yunsheng claimed that he was a fire elemental warrior and he could only use his gun to trigger his ability. To him, Chu Yunsheng’s ability was so weak that he wouldn’t influence the decision making. The key was to get Chef and Witch, those two people to join him.

Chu Yunsheng got up and wanted to take the little tiger for a short walk. He didn’t answer Li Yue because he didn’t need to.

Maybe Li Yue would think that he agreed with him silently, but whatever he thought was his business.

While he was taking Hu Zai (the little tiger) for a short walk, he also wanted to spend a short time talking to Zhao Shanhe. If their problem was the food, then he could help them. If Zhao Shanhe insisted on searching for food, it would also delay his plan. Because one of the reasons why he joined the group was to get to Jin Ling city sooner.

Inside the storage talisman, Chu Yunsheng had stored a large number of meat worms’ bodies. Time seemed to be stopped inside storage Talismans, so there was no such thing as an expiry date once he stored the meat inside. He could store them as long as he wanted. Those meat worms would only make Chu Yunsheng lose his appetite, so he never ate it before. Only the little tiger liked to eat it. But compared to human life, Chu Yunsheng knew which one was much more important. Not to mention that red-shelled insects’ meat was more than enough for the little tiger.

“You want to talk to me?” Zhao Shanhe was puzzled when Chu Yunsheng asked him to follow him to the back of the broken car, when he was rushing Lao Chui’s men to get the vehicle repaired as soon as possible.

To him, Chu Yunsheng was much better than Chef, because the Chef didn’t talk often. Although Chu Yunsheng’s ability didn’t seem to be very strong, at least, he didn’t take advantage of ordinary people. He could even give the whole bowl of rice porridge back. This was something Zhao Shanhe himself couldn’t even do.

“Don’t take any more detours, we need to head straight towards Jin Lin-” Chu Yunsheng prepared to make it short, but he was interrupted by impatient Zhao Shanhe.

“Did Li Yue ask you to talk to me? Chu, I know what they are thinking, I can’t do it. You can go to Lao Chui’s car and take a look yourself, they haven’t eaten anything for three days! All they had was just water! They gave us all their food, and now they are dying!”

Zhao Shanhe clenched his fists and carried on, “Chu, you just joined us, so you don’t know Lao Chui. I get it. But I can’t do it. It’s his food that saved my life… Even if it was just a little help from others I’ll return the favor with all I can when others are in need. It doesn’t matter if it’s the age of light or the dark age. This is the rule I live by…”

Chu Yunsheng knew Zhao Shanhe was a man, who lived by his belief, but he didn’t know that this man could talk so much. He couldn’t even let him finish his sentence.

So he simply threw a big rucksack bag he prepared earlier in front of him. Inside the bag stuffed with a meat worm.

“What is this?” asked Zhao Shanhe. He was dazed for a second and then became curious.

Chu Yunsheng opened the bag to reveal the white meat inside the bag. In the car light, the meat was reflecting the creepy white light.

“This! This… is human flesh!” Zhao Shanhe instantly stepped back, and almost shouted it out.

He couldn’t blame Zhao Shanhe, even until now when he looked at it, he would still think of human flesh.

“It’s a monster’s meat!” calmly said Chu Yunsheng. He then took out the meat worm’s whole body and showed It to Zhao Shanhe.

“What kind of monster is this? I’ve never seen it before!?” Zhao Shanhe slowly calmed down after he saw the monster’s mouth. Earlier he was so scared that he instantly broke out into a cold sweat. Everyone had seen dead bodies before, so it was not really a big deal, but they could never imagine eating the human flesh.

“Kun city, they only exist there.” Chu Yunsheng said calmly.

“Is it the fog city? I’ve heard people saying that whoever went inside that city never came out from there again. It took us very long to go around the fog city because we didn’t dare to get in and take the shortcut.” Zhao Shanhe was curious. He didn’t quite believe that Chu Yunsheng came from that place. Everyone was saying that all the people inside that city were dead, no one was alive. Moreover, Chu Yunsheng has never mentioned it before.

Meanwhile, the image of a terrifying and powerful flaming bird was constantly appearing in Chu Yunsheng’s mind. That horrifying period when he was chased by the monster, and he had to play dead to avoid the monster’s attack… Then When he finally gave up hope, green-shelled insects appeared…

Quickly shaking his head, he tried to get rid of those memories. When he finally calmed down, he noticed that his back was already wet.

“You can give Lao Chui this bag of meat, but use it sparingly, at least, it has to be enough to support us to get to Jin Ling city,” said Chu Yunsheng. He didn’t want to talk about his past, so he stuck to the point.

Zhao Shanhe wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say. He did everything he could to find more food, but in the end, he still struggled to find any. However, he didn’t expect that Chu Yunsheng, a fire elemental warrior with a little tiger, who was supposed to be hired by them, would provide them with a large amount of food. He was shocked, but at the same time, he was also confused because he had never seen Chu Yunsheng carrying any bags with him.

Chu Yunsheng was scared that he was going to talk non-stop. He still needed to go back to cultivate Yuan Qi, so he immediately interrupted Zhao Shanhe, “this bag of meat is not free. There are several conditions. Firstly, after the car is repaired, we need to start moving straight away. No more devour and food search. We need to be on the road twenty-four hours a day. Secondly, I just have this one bag, use it wisely, if we finish it before we get to Jin Ling city, I’ll leave. Thirdly, it must be equally split between everyone, not just six awakened warriors.”

“Chu, is it really edible? Many people have died from eating red-shelled insect’s meat.” Zhao Shanhe touched the meat and said. He still found it hard to believe.

Although Chu Yunsheng didn’t see boss Jiang’s men eating it, when he was with Du Qishan, he saw a lot of people were eating it, and they were completely fine after eating it.

Red-shelled insects’ meat contained a lot of corrosive substance, it would corrode the human internal organs. That was why almost all the people who ate insects’ meat, died very soon after they ate insects’ meat. However, Hu Zai was different, Chu Yunsheng guessed that it probably had something to do with the metal elemental energy.

Picking up Hu Zai, Chu YunSheng turned around, and said, ‘yes.”

Zhao Shanhe’s hand suddenly trembled. This was a huge bag of meat, if it was really edible, then it could save a lot of people’s lives!

“Chu! Thank you!” said Zhao Shanhe after he paused for a long time.

“Remember what I said,” said Chu Yunsheng before he returned to the car.

Despite such a big bag, Chu Yunsheng could only squeeze in one meat worm. So with just one meat worm, he didn’t think that he had contributed a lot. Also, he and the little tiger took a free ride, so it was the time to repay them.

He has already told them the requirements, but if they were still going to take detours, then he would leave. He couldn’t just follow them blindly. Also, he was more and more concerned about the safety of his aunt’s family.

When Zhao Shanhe got back to the car, he could not stop smiling. It also shocked Li Yue and other people, who were about to take over control of the group.

When Zhao Shanhe suddenly announced that they were going to Jin Ling straightway, and they were not going to take any more detours to find food, Li Yue and other people’s faces instantly froze.

Their plan was also destroyed by the announcement. But then when they smelled the food fragrance, they forgot everything completely. The meat was already given to Lao Chui so they could prepare the meal, and Zhao Shanhe had to explain to everyone where he got the meat and what meat it was. It was actually quite obvious because everyone could see the monster.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t ask Zhao Shanhe not to mention his name, he didn’t think it was necessary. It was too tiring for him to hide everything he did.

But Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect that the Witch would claim that it was because everyone had faith in her that the food appeared. Moreover, it seemed like she already had some loyal followers.

For them, every word the Witch said was a holy word. She even claimed that whoever had faith in her would eventually be awakened.

To the ordinary people, becoming an awakener was their dream, as long as they were awakened they would be able to survive, and they would even be able to save their family and friends.

The Witch was exactly using this to deceive them when they were not emotionally stable.

Chu Yunsheng did not know if The Witch really had this kind of power or not, but he knew that ‘Heaven and Earth Talisman’ had this kind of power to forcibly awaken an ordinary person.

But that was one of the highest level talismans, it was not the kind of talisman he was able to make at the moment.
