It was a grayish-white eye, devoid of any light. Just from that one eye, one could imagine a cold corpse standing stiffly in front of one's eyes.
The viscous black substance surged upwards, transforming into a black hand that grabbed the opponent.
After waiting for three seconds and confirming there was no resistance, the black substance covering Li Changzhou's right hand faded away. He picked up the kerosene lamp and moved closer to the other person.
He was a burly man with tattoos on his face, killed by a child with a dazzling green light.
The kerosene lamp moved even closer, and Li Changzhou took a step forward as well. He examined the other person inch by inch, as if he wanted to see every pore on the other person's face.
His face was deathly pale, and there was frost on his hair, beard, and collar, as if he were a corpse that had just been pulled out of a freezer.
Li Changzhou fell into deep thought. Was it the child's 'great power,' or was it that in this godforsaken place, the dead would be resurrected in the form of corpses?
wrong.
If it were the latter, the tavern owner and the adventurers wouldn't just leave it alone; they would definitely burn the body on the spot.
So...
It cannot be definitively said that it is the child's 'great power'.
Just as no one knew he possessed 'great power,' he also didn't know who else in the tavern possessed this mysterious power; perhaps it was an unknown person who had done it.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Li Changzhou looked at the corpse in front of him... It would be good for practicing.
Under Li Changzhou's will, the black hand dissolved and transformed into a net-like armor covering the corpse.
The corpse stretched out its legs and moved stiffly.
Raise your arm, swing your fist, squat down, run, write with your finger...
Aside from delicate actions like writing, anything a normal person can do, a corpse can do under the control of the black substance.
A black wall rose up, and the corpse punched it, but the wall didn't budge. It then used its claws, teeth, and other weapons, but still couldn't cause any damage to the black wall.
Li Changzhou raised his left hand, and the black substance surged into his hand, turning into a pure black AK.
Snap!
The finger pulled the trigger, but there was no sound; no bullet was fired.
A sudden realization dawned on me—the black substance didn't exist in isolation; it gave me the feeling of trying to make a gun out of my own palm, which is why it couldn't be made into a gun.
The black gun melted into nails.
With a hiss, Li Changzhou drove the nail into the corpse's forehead, but the corpse's gray-white eyes remained fixed on him.
It seems that the black substance does not possess the properties of flame and has no special killing power against corpses.
Um?
A sudden feeling arose in Li Changzhou's heart as he stared at the corpse's head.
Cut! Cut! Cut!
The corpse's head was twisted violently and snapped off with a crack. Before it hit the ground, a black hand rose from the ground, grabbed the head, and slowly handed it to Li Changzhou.
Another dark hand reached out from the darkness and took the kerosene lamp from Li Changzhou's right hand.
Li Changzhou lowered his right hand, which was covered by a black substance. Only the black pupils of his eyes were still visible.
A black hand carrying a kerosene lamp approached the corpse's head, while another black hand held the corpse's head close to the kerosene lamp.
The dim light shone on his head, giving his pale face an eerie look, as if he had been made up to look like a corpse.
Li Changzhou stared at the black nail between his eyebrows. In the light of the kerosene lamp, the black nail had no shadow, but a thin black line connected it to him.
His black eyes, which blended completely into the night, stared silently for a while before turning his gaze to the headless body.
The net-like black armor wrapped around the corpse transformed into five small black snakes, which burrowed into the corpse's limbs and heart, before solidifying into black nails.
After a short while, the corpse walked over, took its own head from the black hand as if it were a hat, and put it on its own neck.
Under Li Changzhou's watchful eye, the headless black hand helped adjust the angle of the corpse's head to confirm that it was not much different from the original.
After finishing the grooming work, the black hand turned into black thread and sewed the head and neck together.
A corpse with black nails pinned to its forehead, heart, limbs, and black thread sewn into its neck stood before Li Changzhou, completely obedient to his commands.
"Very good." Li Changzhou nodded in satisfaction. "Although the black substance has a distance limitation, with this corpse, the operational space is much larger. We can test everyone in the dark without revealing ourselves."
It is currently known that the child possesses one 'great power,' and a total of three are needed to complete the mission.
It's not just about quantity; of the three items, at least one must be able to break the 'Ancient God's Curse'... Will the dazzling green light work? To kill the Ancient God? Or to kill one of the Ancient God's eyes?
Ironwood Room, a room named after 'Ironwood'.
In the pitch black, there were three kerosene lamps, one by the bedside and two on the wooden table.
Kara and Ryan, who were on night watch, pulled their collars and hats tight to ward off the cold, huddled in the corner, their expressions a mixture of boredom and a touch of sorrow.
Ryan yawned: "How much longer until dawn?"
"See for yourself," Kara replied indifferently.
The tavern owner was a stingy and greedy woman. If it weren't for the fact that the guests didn't eat human flesh, there would definitely be more than just horse meat on the plates. Therefore, you could tell how long the night would last just by looking at how much kerosene lamp was left.
Renn knew this, of course, but if he moved his body even slightly, Hanfeng would find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
He mentally prepared himself for a while before craning his neck, quickly glancing at the kerosene lamp, and then quickly pulling his neck back before the cold wind could cut too deep.
Kara glanced up at him.
