Chapter 126: Zoro’s Unease

Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

Zoro had thought that his action just now would have killed the wild boar; he did not expect the wild boar to actually stand up unsteadily. Perhaps, due to the strange disease, this wild boar’s combat strength was actually that high.

Upon knowing the wild boar’s real strength, Zoro became more alert. He dared not relax like before.

After the wild boar had stood up, it did not tarry for too long before it unleashed all its energy to charge towards Zoro, as if it had gone mad.

This matched Aaron’s description of the strange disease. Aaron had said that those villagers infected with the strange disease seemed to have lost their rationality; they would do abnormal things from time to time.

Before the wild boar could get to Zoro, Zoro punched out a ball of energy and it sent the wild boar flying again. This time, the energy was even greater than before, pushing the wild boar at least ten meters away.

Not wanting Lily to see such a bloody scene, Kathleen quickly covered Lily’s eyes with her hand.

Zoro observed the wild boar for a while and was relieved to see that it did not get up again this time.

However, just to be sure, Zoro still walked forward to look at the wild boar’s carcass up close. Suddenly, his expression changed, and his brows began to frown. He said to the others, “Everyone, let’s get out of here quickly.”

Initially, Zoro had planned to stay in this village for a night, but after seeing the wild boar, Zoro gave up the idea completely.

Currently, there was no one in the village, yet the wild boar had still been infected with this strange disease. This meant that the strange disease had not vanished completely. The village still had the virus, so it was not suitable for them to stay here.

Moreover, Zoro had never seen such a disease in so many years. It went beyond his understanding. He had studied medicine to the best of his ability and knew that this disease would not be easy to treat.

Thus, Zoro and the others got ready to leave the village to avoid contracting the virus.

Ata spot where no one could see, pus had formed on the back of the wild boar, and there were some wriggling movements. Many dark gray worms had actually emerged from below the pus, and they were crawling out continuously.

After crawling out, they quickly burrowed into the ground. Soon, there were actually no signs of the worms on the ground. In the blink of an eye, only bones and a layer of skin were left of the wild boar’s originally strong build.

Inan instant, rustling sounds could be heard from the grass, as if something had changed drastically.

Many animals had come out from nowhere. They included domestic animals like pigs, cows, and sheep, as well as ferocious animals like wolves, tigers, and lions.

Not only that, the expression and condition of each animal were identical to that of the wild boar earlier. Their eyes revealed their desire to eat humans, and they looked around with bloodshot eyes. Of course, just like the wild boar earlier, their backs also had those disgusting boils.

For some reason, as if someone was directing them, every animal looked, with their red eyes, at the path Zoro and the others had walked.

“What happened to that wild boar just now? Had it contracted the disease?” Kathleen really could not understand, so she asked Zoro on the way.

“It must have contracted the disease, but it is not an ordinary disease. I have never seen such a disease before. I even suspect that it is not a natural disease.” Zoro frowned and said.

“Not a natural disease? Could someone have done this deliberately?” said Charles.

Zoro hesitated for a moment whether he should tell them, but decided in the end that he should, “I have heard some legends previously that there were some minority tribes that are especially good at some secret technique, and this secret technique is not performed by people who cultivate magical power. If

it were to be performed by someone who cultivates magical power, the outcome would be unthinkable.”

“Actually, when I heard Aaron mention the special disease, I already had my suspicions, but I was unsure if it was the secret technique I had heard about. If it was really that secret technique, then it would be difficult.” The more Zoro spoke, the more solemn his expression became. Everyone’s expression

became as solemn as Zoro’s.

“However, I might have been thinking too much. Perhaps it’s just a relatively virulent disease, but we shouldnt stay for too long. Let’s go quickly,” Zoro explained. “There’s no one in this village anyway.”

Everyone agreed with Zoro’s words, but Lily, who had been listening intently, looked perplexed. No matter how smart she was, she was still a child and could not understand what Zoro meant. *

“What are all of you talking about, Sister?” Lily asked.

“Nothing. We’re discussing some adult matters. Lily, you don’t have to be afraid. We’ll be going back soon, ” Kathleen said, trying to comfort Lily.

‘Tm sorry, Sister. I didn’t manage to help you find the person you were looking for.” After all, it had been a wasted trip, and Lily felt a little guilty.

“This has nothing to do with you. We have to thank you for leading the way for us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to find the place.” Looking at Lily’s innocent expression, Kathleen spoke to her with a smile.

Before they had spoken much, the few of them had already left the village. The sky had become dark, so they had no choice but to find a stream and stop nearby. They planned to get something to eat and rest for the time being.

They casually hunted some wild game and cooked up something, Lily soon fell asleep after she had eaten and drank her fill. This night was the same as before. Kathleen accompanied Lily to sleep in the tent while Zoro and Charles kept watch outside.

In consideration of the extraordinary disease in the village, Zoro and Charles decided not to act rashly tonight to avoid unnecessary trouble.

They were indignant that they could not find the bandits to help Lily take revenge. However, they remembered that they had not completed the mission given by the Old Ancestor, so they could only find another chance in the future.

In the Nicholas family palace in Winterfrost, a Divine Dragon Beast was standing in the courtyard. From time to time, it would lie down, and then stand up to walk around. Apparently, this kind of divine beast did not even need sleep.

Xi Bolai was sitting quietly as usual, and then he suddenly opened his eyes as if he had thought of something. “How is this possible? Someone has actually made a breakthrough again.”

It turned out that just now, he had sensed the cultivation base of another person in the Nicholas family increased, and he immediately determined that it was the live-in son-in-law by the name of Caesar.

Although the level after the advancement was not very high, it still surprised Xi Bolai.

In Xi Bolai’s imagination, he should not have advanced so quickly. Moreover, in the past few days, he had discovered that many members of the Nicholas family had advanced at an extraordinary speed.
