Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 148 The Little Brother's Unusual Side

The figure huddled in the corner not far away was reflected directly in Zhang Qiling's dark pupils. As Zhang Qiling got closer, the figure trembled more and more noticeably.

Seeing this, Qi Yu secretly sighed: If Zhang Qiling really started bluffing, who could resist going weak in the knees! Absolutely no bad!

That being said, Qi Yu acted with ease. It used the little bit of system energy it had painstakingly accumulated to give Liu the hunter's son a little stimulation, causing him to relive the fear of that year in his subconscious.

The next moment, the hunter's son, who had been insane for over six years and could only say "Don't go over there, don't touch him," suddenly clutched his head and screamed shrilly, "I didn't touch him! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling stopped just half a meter away from the hunter's son and raised the black gold ancient knife in his hand slightly towards the man.

Who touched him?

"Monster...don't kill me, don't kill me..."

"Where is the monster?"

"Kill someone, kill someone!"

A completely irrelevant answer.

From the moment Zhang Qiling entered this side room, his brow remained furrowed. He rarely showed his emotions, but at this moment, he was unable to control himself and was thinking deeply about the malice of others.

Was Yan Huai bullied or beaten back then? Or...?

The veins on the back of his hand throbbed, and his left thumb vigorously rubbed the hilt of the knife as the black blade was gradually pulled out of its sheath.

Human nature cannot withstand scrutiny, and Zhang Qiling was well aware of this, so she couldn't even imagine what Yan Huai had gone through back then.

What does this naive kid, who'd be considered a safety net when we first met, know...?

Just as Zhang Qiling was about to look for clues in other parts of the house, his gaze inadvertently swept over the hunter's son's disheveled hair.

Does this person have no ears? No, those are burn marks.

Zhang Qiling bent down, about to examine the area closely, when suddenly a very light footstep sounded in the courtyard outside.

Qi Yu said calmly, "It's this guy's father who's back."

Zhang Qiling understood, and almost completely concealed his presence as he moved.

As soon as Liu the hunter cautiously lifted the half-drawn curtain, before he could even pull the trigger of his musket, Zhang Qiling suddenly appeared and dislocated both of his arms.

When dealing with personal grudges, Yan Huai = personal, grudge = Yan Huai was wronged, and the solution = just beat him up!

Qi Yu silently recorded this cool scene with data. When he returned to Yan Huai's sea of ​​consciousness, he would edit the data into a video so that his master could enjoy it whenever he wanted.

This is Zhang Qiling's first time showing his love so openly! We must do a good job of commemorating this moment for our master!

At this moment, Zhang Qiling was completely unaware of Qi Yu's little tricks; his attention was only focused on questioning Liu the Hunter.

"Who are you!?"

Cold sweat broke out on Liu the hunter's forehead. The blade was pressed so close to his neck that no one dared to move, but looking at his son in the corner, who was clearly different from usual, he still roared at Zhang Qiling, "What did you do to my child?"

It's unclear what words triggered Zhang Qiling's murderous intent, but he pressed the Black Gold Ancient Blade directly against Liu the Hunter's dark skin, and blood instantly seeped out.

"What did he do six years ago!"

six years ago……

Liu the hunter's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes darted around for a moment: "I, I don't know!"

He won't speak easily.

Zhang Qiling was aware of this, so he did something despicable without hesitation—he threatened Liu the hunter, exploiting his weakness.

He flashed forward, and the black gold ancient sword was pressed against the shoulder of Liu the hunter's son. His cold gaze left no doubt that he would strike down in the next second.

Liu the hunter's chapped lips trembled, and a suppressed sob escaped his throat: "My...my child..."

Zhang Qiling remained calm, and with a flick of his wrist, the blade slashed the fabric of Liu the hunter's son's clothes. However, the angle was slightly off, and the latter's reaction of howling and desperately shrinking into the corner of the wall complemented the slash, making it easy to mistakenly believe that only flesh had been cut.

"No! Don't touch my child!"

Sure enough, as Zhang Qiling finished speaking, Liu the hunter instinctively knelt down with a thud. His dislocated arm swung around, but he seemed to feel no pain. He just pleaded softly, his eyes red: "I'll tell you..."

"Six years ago, a torrential rain fell here, and strange phenomena appeared deep in Snake Head Mountain. The village chief said that it was the Snake God manifesting. My son didn't believe it, so he secretly sneaked into the mountain with a few other kids from the village during the rainy night."

Near a cave in Liangtougou, they saw a very handsome person who seemed to be asleep. However, there was a moving, dragon-like monster coiled next to him, so they dared not get too close.

Although it was raining heavily, the mountains were densely wooded, and some places were still fire-prone. So, they tried to make a commotion in a more distant area, hoping the smoke from the fire would lure the monster away...

As soon as the monster left, the children went into the cave to see the handsome person…

Liu the hunter's lips trembled, as if he had remembered something terrifying.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling, judging from Liu the hunter's expression, guessed that what the latter meant by "seeing" also contained some other meaning.

At that moment, he really wanted to just turn the two people in front of him into human sticks!

Seeing the situation developing in an increasingly bizarre direction, Qi Yu hurriedly said, "Zhang Qiling, don't be impulsive. Those guys had the intention, but they didn't succeed. Yan Chen set up a protective spell for his master. Once someone gets close, their whole body will catch fire. That's how Liu the hunter's son lost his ears!"

However, Qi Yu's words did not have any effect on calming Zhang Qiling. It could be said that, given the current situation, no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

The knife tip had somehow pierced the flesh of Liu the hunter's son, accompanied by cries that only a child would make, but Zhang Qiling seemed not to hear them.

"continue."

Liu the hunter knew that nothing he said could persuade Zhang Qiling to put away his knife, and his only remaining hope was that the latter would spare his son's life.

"As soon as the children got close to that man, they inexplicably burst into flames. My child ran the fastest, but he lost an ear. The other children lost a lot of their skin and flesh, leaving only their blood-covered bodies that could move a few steps..."

My child had never seen anything so terrifying, so before the monster returned, he hurriedly ran out of Liangtougou. Meanwhile, I had already discovered that my child was missing and had gone into the mountains to look for him. So all of this was told to me before my child went crazy.

I thought my child had escaped death, but before we even left the mountain, the monster found him by the scent, carrying a burned corpse from a cave in its mouth… My child went mad.”

As for why he's just crazy?

Zhang Qiling didn't ask the question aloud, but Liu the Hunter knew what he wanted to ask.

"I had just calmed my child down and went to find some herbs for him. When I came back, I heard a commotion, so I quickly threw a few centipedes at the monster... Our village chief had mentioned earlier when talking about the snake god that the snake god was most afraid of centipedes..."

"Bullshit! Yan Chen isn't afraid of centipedes at all. It was clearly this old bastard who notified the villagers before going into the mountains. Yan Chen only let these two escape because innocent people were present!"

Originally, they were going to find another opportunity to deal with the person, but the strange phenomenon was quite significant, and many forces noticed it and lingered around the Qinling Mountains to probe. Yan Huai was in a weak period, so Yan Chen had been hiding deep in the Qinling Mountains to prevent any accidents from happening, and he and the other clansmen were walking on thin ice every day.

Opportunities were missed time and time again, and six years passed in the blink of an eye.

A flash of disgust crossed Zhang Qiling's eyes, and he had no patience to listen to anything more.

Since they deserve to die, it's already too good for them to have lived for six years.

The black-gold ancient sword flashed brilliantly under the midday sun, but no one in the village would know unless the stench spread far and wide, or unless wild dogs devoured carrion...
