Chapter 553: Human? Demon?



"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, the village has been cleaned up by Master Nantong."

A general of Holy Egypt was kneeling on one knee, reporting to Lin Ke.

Of course, the cleaning he was talking about was not cleaning like cleaning up garbage.

What he was referring to were the creatures in the village that were "infected" by pollution, all of which had been "purified" by Nan Tong using magic.

Not only the villagers, but even the livestock that drank the water were "purified" and killed by Nan Tong.

At this time, Lin Ke was standing at the entrance of the village, looking at the dead silent village.

Yesterday, the village was still peaceful and quiet.

Even when Elisha's father took him to the location of the spring, he would occasionally point out several places in the village.

Like "That's the village chief's house" and "That's the elder's house".

But now, this place is like hell.

Those bodies that have been "purified" by magic also look very creepy.

There was also a foul smell in the air, like the smell of rotten meat being burned.

There were almost no intact corpses on the ground.

Broken limbs were scattered on the muddy path.

A headless body was lying on the side of the well, with its fingers dug deep into the cracks in the stone, as if he was behaving like this because he was feeling pain from Nan Tong's magic.

Not far away, the bodies of several villagers were piled together.

The soldiers of Holy Egypt were separating the piled-up corpses. The corpses in the middle of the pile had a bluish-gray skin.

Their blood vessels bulge out like spider webs, and even after death, their muscles remain in a twisted spasm.

The most uncomfortable thing is their faces.

The dead man's expression was frozen between extreme pain and madness.

Although some of them were burnt, his expression could still be vaguely seen.

Some of them had their mouths wide open, as if they were still screaming before they died.

Some of them smiled strangely, with the corners of their mouths almost torn to their ears.

But the most eye-catching thing is the horns on their heads.

As for Horns, there is one person in the Holy Egyptian Alliance who is very knowledgeable and familiar with them.

"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."

"It's strange, these humans seem to have similar...energy to that of demons."

"It's strange, how did they come together?"

"The human body is so weak that if it receives such power, it should explode and die."

The succubus just looked at the corpses and slowly detected them with her witchcraft energy.

"Same as intelligence."

"The people in this village are just as I expected. They haven't left."

"In addition to checking the body, remember to also check nearby water sources."

“That’s where the problem lies.”

As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, the succubus nodded slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."

"I'll go take a look right away."

Lin Ke squatted down and looked at the broken arm.

The flesh at the wound had turned black, but there were no signs of normal decay.

It seems like it was forcibly alienated by some force.

"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"

Elisha stood behind him, his voice very hoarse.

His eyes were red and swollen from crying and sadness, but he couldn't cry now.

Because, Lin Ke just told him that tears falling on the ground might also be contaminated.

So he was so scared that he dared not cry anymore, as if he was afraid that he would become that kind of terrible monster.

"Elisha, what's going on here?"

"Tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

Elisha then slowly spoke.

"We...had already packed our things and were ready to leave."

"Father went to the reservoir and found that the sheep were behaving strangely..."

Elisha paused and looked at a corpse not far away.

His breathing visibly quickened for a moment, but he quickly forced himself to continue.

"My father just urged us to leave immediately...but before we even left the house, they arrived."

"Those monsters are coming."

Lin Ke narrowed his eyes slightly.

Elisha was talking about the villagers.

"The village chief, the elders, they...they all turned into monsters!"

"Monster, monster!"

His description is fragmentary and confused.

However, Lin Ke was able to piece together the scene based on Elisha's words.

A family is about to escape, but is surrounded by mutated villagers.

The father tried to resist, while the mother and sister protected the younger sister and Elisha.

In the end, only Elisha survived.

"Lord Nantong heard you."

"You are very brave, Elisha."

"We will protect you, just stay with me."

Lin Ke said this and patted Elisha's shoulder gently.

Elisha nodded, but he only saw that many people not far away were frowning and looking at Elisha in confusion.

But Lin Ke didn't care. He just looked at the miserable situation in the village, his thoughts racing.

Because the current situation is very similar to the worst case scenario he expected.

First, the scope of pollution has expanded.

The village is some distance from Hebron, but the water source is still contaminated.

This means that much of the area around Hebron may have fallen.

Those villages, farmlands, and even military outposts that rely on the same water system may have suffered the same erosion.
