Chapter 37: The Devil's Seal
"Yale, talk to me...... The mark on your hand. Chu Cheng got straight to the point.
It stands to reason that the underground is so dangerous that the village chief can coerce all the villagers into going underground together, and he must have used some kind of means.
And this imprint is likely to be one of the means.
Therefore, Chu Cheng had to figure out the source of this mark.
Who knew that when Yale heard this, his face changed drastically, and he squeaked and kept silent.
Chu Cheng looked at Griffith and saw that Griffith also had a solemn face. She shook her head, apparently unaware of the mark.
"Doesn't Griffith know either?" Chu Cheng smiled helplessly, he hated the use of violence the most.
"Zheng!" In the next second, a titanium alloy long knife that suddenly appeared was directly on Yale's neck, and the sharp blade almost cut through Yale's skin.
"Say it or die!" The icy killing intent spread around Chu Cheng, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
"Gah?" Yale's crotch was hot, and his brain was still in a state of short circuit compared to the body's instinctive physiological response.
Yale couldn't imagine how Chu Cheng could turn his face faster than a book.
"Don't ...... Don't do it, I'm ...... I say! When his head turned around, Yale immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, for fear that Chu Chengzhen would cut off his head with a knife.
"Let's talk about it." Chu Cheng put away the long knife and showed a satisfied (fuhei) smile, and sighed in his heart that the violent methods were indeed simple, rough, and efficient.
"I said that this mark on my hand was planted by the dark wizards of the Church of the Mother of Darkness. If I don't take the Dark Wizard's 'antidote' regularly, this mark will kill me. It's not just me, but most of the people in the village were planted with this mark by the dark wizards before they went underground......"
Yale's mouth was like a cannon, for fear that Chu Chengzhen would slash him with a knife.
Unexpectedly, Yale's words were only halfway through when the mark on his hand suddenly stirred up violently, and a bloody sarcoma was forcibly squeezed out of the mark.
The sarcoma throbbed like a heart, and then burst open, a small mass of dark red deformed flesh like a snake, rising from within the exploding sarcoma.
In the next moment, at the top of the deformed flesh, a mouth with sharp teeth suddenly opened and bit Yale's neck fiercely.
"Help!" Yale screamed and retreated, but what was about to bite him was on the back of his hand, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.
At this moment, a chilling sword light flashed, and the dark red "Flesh and Blood Snake" was suddenly cut off by Qi Gen.
But even if the body was cut off, the snake-like flesh still pounced on Yale with a single bullet.
Yale's neck was bitten, her body twitched violently, and she gradually lost her life.
With Yale's death, the Serpent of Flesh melted into pus.
"Shhh Chu Cheng gasped, he cut off the flesh snake in time, but he failed to save Yale's life.
Everything that happened just now happened in a matter of seconds, and Chu Cheng and Griffith looked at each other, unable to believe that Yale would be killed under their noses.
Compared with Chu Cheng and Griffiths, Jason's reaction was even more exaggerated, and he saw him holding his right hand and rolling into the corner, and the whole person shrank directly into a ball with trembling.
Chu Cheng's breathing became a little heavy, and he calmed down a little, still feeling a little guilty about Yale's death in his heart.
Obviously, it was precisely because Yale revealed information related to the imprint to Chu Cheng that the imprint would erase it.
What a ruthless method!
"Is it the village chief, who colluded with the people of the Dark Mother Church!?" Chu Cheng thought that if Griffith was the village chief's help from the outside world, then the people from the Mother of Darkness Church were probably the same.
Although Chu Cheng didn't know much about the mysterious organization of the Dark Mother Church, he guessed that the reason why his mother disappeared within the detection range of the compass was most likely related to the Dark Mother Church.
"We need to find out as soon as possible what is going on on the side of the big army." Chu Cheng exchanged glances with Griffith, and saw that Griffith's eyes were also full of doubts and worries.
"Looking at it this way, Griffith didn't know that there were dark wizards in the village." Chu Cheng was a little relieved, as long as Griffith was not an associate of the Dark Mother Church, things would be much easier.
With a heavy heart, the three of them continued on their way, and soon came to the end of this straight ditch.
In front of them was a square several kilometers in diameter, full of unknown machinery and criss-crossing pipes. In the corner of the square, Chu Cheng saw the dotted lights.
The camp of the large army has arrived!
"Since the people in your village dare to set up camp here, it means that this place is beyond the territory of the Bloodfly Nest." Griffith said, "This square should be safe for the time being. ”
Chu Cheng nodded when he heard this. He had heard that underground automata were generally very territorial, and would not leave their territory easily.
At this moment, this square is likely to be at the junction of two territories, and it is a rare safe place underground.
The trio approached the camp quickly.
"What people!"
At the same time, the patrol officers on the periphery of the camp also found the three people, and immediately shouted coldly.
But when they saw that it was Griffith, a respectful look appeared on their tense faces.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, Griffith's identity is really not trivial." Chu Cheng said secretly in his heart.
"Brother, you're finally back!" At this moment, the crowd was suddenly pushed away, and a little Lori wearing a dark red Rem maid dress staggered over.
Little Lori looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a touch of charm on her fair face that is not commensurate with her age. Behind the delicate body, there is a huge sickle on his back, and the overall look of this painting style is really embarrassing.
As soon as little Lori saw Griffith, her eyes were full of little stars, and she pounced directly on Griffith.
"Brother, where have you been? Do you know that Daile is so worried about you! Little Lori looked coquettish, completely ignoring Chu Cheng and the others around her.
Chu Cheng saw a touch of helplessness on Griffith's cold face, and carried the little Lori aside like a pet.
was carried aside, and little Lori was not angry, she still adhered to Griffith with a little admiration, and her eyes fell on Chu Cheng inadvertently.
"Brother, who is this little ghost? How could he be with his brother? When Xiao Lori saw Chu Cheng, Xiao Xing's eyes suddenly swelled with a vigilant look, and she said in the tone of the main palace asking about Xiao San's whereabouts.
"Imp?" Chu Cheng was embarrassed, he never dreamed that he would be ridiculed by a little girl.
Dai'er's words immediately aroused a burst of laughter in the crowd. Even Griffith was quite helpless, looking at Chu Cheng with apology in his eyes.
Chu Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently. While everyone was not paying attention, he quietly took out the compass, and then found the pointer of the compass, but still couldn't find his mother's location.
"What's so noisy! I don't know if this is close to the territory of the face-eating insects!? At this moment, a low, rough voice suddenly came from the depths of the camp.
Hearing this, the patrol officers hurriedly retreated to the sides to make way for them.
Chu Cheng saw a man who was nearly two meters tall, with thick arms and a rough and cold face walking out of the depths of the camp.
Chu Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted slightly, because the person who came was none other than him...... None other than Brian!
