nChapter 201 – Big Machete! Executioner!

nIn the end, the stone card on Wei Xiao Bei’s neck let out a white glow.

nAfterwards, the white glow had enveloped his body, decreasing the amount of pressure that Wei Xiao Bei was experiencing. This allowed him to slowly stand up again.

n“Eh? The Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof?” Following this hesitant voice, the Border Patroller’s complexion darkened, but the pressure slowly disappeared as he spoke, allowing Wei Xiao Bei to relax.

nAt this moment, the light from the stone card disappeared, returning to its original appearance.

n“You are a friend of the Ming Lun Envoy?”

nThe complexion of the Border Patroller did not turn well, but his voice became friendlier.

nWei Xiao Bei immediately assessed that the relationship between Bai Ta Hill and the Shing Wong Temple was not a good one, but the Shing Wong Temple did not dare offend Bai Ta Hill. The reason the local god was friendly was due to the difference in hierarchy.

nThe Shing Wong’s Border Patroller should be on the same level as a direct subordinate of the Shing Wong. He would not treat him as kindly, and not killing him on the spot was due to the stone card.

nJust like that, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare completely depend on the stone card. He immediately nodded his head, but his entire body was tense and was prepared to move at anytime.

nNo matter the difference in strength or being in enemy territory, if the other party dared to continue, he would not sit and wait for death. Even if he died, he was determined to bring someone down with him.

nThe green clothed official was filled with pride and disdainfully said, “Enough. You are only an insignificant mortal. Trespassing on an important location in the Shing Wong Temple would normally be punished with soul peeling. Consider this as this god giving the Ming Lun Envoy face. I will spare you this time, get lost.” Then he waved his hand at Wei Xiao Bei.

nWei Xiao Bei did not even have the chance to respond. His eyes blurred, and when he could see his surroundings, he noticed that he was already outside the county. He found himself in a deep and long ravine. There were a lot of standing stone there. On the side was an overgrown small hill with a few peach trees.

nPeach Hill!

nWei Xiao Bei was slightly familiar with the ravine and the hill. When he was having tests of courage with his classmates in the past, they would come here most of the time.

nThe place was also not that far from the county.

nBecause there were wild peach trees growing on the hill, they had called it Peach Hill, including the deep ravine.

nThe place was south of the Bai Ta County. The scenery was not that beautiful, and it was considered to be a haunted place. In the past, it was said that the place was where the authorities cut off people’s heads.

nIt was the Bai Ta County’s execution grounds.

nEven after the new government was created, this place had always been an execution ground.

nIn short, it was not a good place to be.

nHe never imagined that the Shing Wong’s Border Patroller would send him there.

nHowever, this was perhaps the limit of his power.

nWhen he looked at the human-sized stones around him, Wei Xiao Bei frowned.

nThere were dried bloodstains on the rocks that let out the stench of blood.

nThis was different compared to the real world.

nIn reality, the execution ground was not in the ravine but on a flat land at the side.

nThe criminal would kneel on the flat land, and with an order, the executioner would swing his blade or fire his gun. Afterwards, the family members would take away the corpse.

nEven if there was bloodstain, it would only be at the flat lands.

nIt should be impossible for bloodstains to appear in the ravine.

nAfter thinking for a while, Wei Xiao Bei’s expression became serious.

nThe atmosphere of this place gave him a sense of unease.

nI need to leave this place.

nWei Xiao Bei thought for a moment and then tried to walk up the wall of the ravine. With his ability Ground Rooting, he should be able to walk up easily.

nHowever, before Wei Xiao Bei was able to take two steps, a strange sound echoed within the ravine.

nThis sound was like a blade cutting something. It was not that loud, but in a ravine, it was extremely scary.

nIf a normal person appeared here, they would probably be scared to near death, let alone being able to do anything else.

nWei Xiao Bei was that kind of timid person. He stomped the ground and jumped up on a boulder.

nWhen he was at the peak, he looked towards the sound where the footsteps were coming from and could not help but open his mouth wide.

nWhat he saw was a giant that exceeded 5 meters.

nThe giant did not wear anything but gray trousers with a simple design and a red bandana on its head. It did not have a lot of muscles and had a large belly. It held a large machete in its right hand. Its bearded face looked extremely malevolent, and everytime it moved, the fat on his body would ripple like waves.

nThe first image that came to Wei Xiao Bei’s mind was that of an executioner!

nOther than its excessive height, it looked exactly like an executioner in ancient times.

nMoreover, an executioner’s main job was to chop off heads.

nThe empty land inside the ravine was occupied by the executioner and more than 10 criminals that wore clothes from ancient times. Their appearance all looked different. The only thing similar about them was that there was a white banner erected from their napes.

nThere were words in red written on the white banner.

nSome had robber, some had murderer, some had adulterer, and many other words were written.

nIn short, the words written were these people’s sins.

n“Swish!”

nThe executioner swung the machete at one of the people who was claimed to have murdered in the middle of the street.

nThe machete was incredibly sharp. With a single chop, the head of the criminal flew without a single resistance, causing the neck to immediately spray out blood.

nThe movement of the executioner was fast. With only a bit of effort, he had chopped off the heads of the criminals.

nThe ground was stained with black blood as the corpse dropped on the ground and stopped moving.

nAt this time, the executioner inspected its surroundings. Wei Xiao Bei quickly lowered his body, hiding in a depression on the boulder.

nSeeing that there was no movement in his surroundings, the executioner swung the large machete once and inserted it on the ground. Afterwards, it grabbed the wine bottle, hung on its waist, and took a swig from it.

nImmediately, the intoxicating smell of alcohol pervaded the air.

nEven Wei Xiao Bei could not help but twitch his nose at the smell.

nAs someone who needed to suppress his capacity for liquor, Wei Xiao Bei did not know much about alcohol brands and types, but he could feel the fragrance and mellowness of the liquor from the smell. Saliva had even come out from his mouth.

nPU!

nWhat Wei Xiao Bei never imagined was that the executioner did not even drink the wine and instead spat it all out.

nThe thick alcohol instantly spread everywhere, creating a mist of alcohol.

nWhat is the executioner thinking?

nWei Xiao Bei could not help but be puzzled. However, the next situation made him open his eyes wide.

nWhen the alcohol mist had filled the air, the corpses within the mist began to sway and then stand up. Their two hands touched the ground, and when they found their heads, they would attach it back to their necks.

nAfter shaking for a while, the people who could not be anymore dead became completely undamaged and once again kneeled down in front of the executioner.

nThe scars on their necks had disappeared without a single mark.

nDeath and rebirth?

nWei Xiao Bei could not help but be interested at the alcohol in the executioner’s hands.

nNo matter what was said, the previous scene of death and rebirth had something to do with the alcohol.

nWhoosh!

nWhen the criminals once again kneeled down on the ground in a single row, the executioner rubbed its hands and picked up the large machete, once again chopping off their heads.

nIn truth, this scene was very strange.

nThe executioner would repeatedly chop heads while the corpses would repeatedly revive without trying to escape. They were like walking corpses as they kneeled down and waited to be executed again.

nIf it was possible, Wei Xiao Bei wanted to use his Status Appraisal to understand the situation.

nHowever, he had a faint unease so he suppressed his desire to do so.

nWei Xiao Bei had directed this unease on the executioner.

nThe executioner was definitely not a simple existence. Just the strange scene of repetition was enough to tell him that it was nothing good.

nSince he still had a lot of time, Wei Xiao Bei lied down on the depression as he practiced his control over electricity.

nTime passed by bit by bit.

nIn the Dust World, the sky would forever be colored gray without the difference of night and day.

nWhen Wei Xiao Bei was about to fall asleep from waiting, a tyrannical roar came from afar.

nWhen he heard the roar, Wei Xiao Bei saw that the executioner picked up the machete and charged out the ravine. The criminals, whether headless or not, all followed behind. Even if there were rocks in their path, they would still run as if they were flying.

nIn just a short period of time, there was no one in the ravine anymore.

nWhat happened?

nWei Xiao Bei did not think about staying anymore. He quietly got down the rock and followed the executioner from afar out of the ravine.

nAt this time, there were hundreds of stone statues standing on the ash-colored meadow afar. The scene looked quite majestic.

nThe heads of the stone statues looked like dogs with short horns. They also had wing on their backs, and their heights were about 2 meters.

nWei Xiao Bei felt that these things looked familiar as he tried to recall their identities in his mind.

n“Kill!”

nWithout much words, the executioner charged forward with his large machete. Additionally, the criminals somehow acquired weapons. There were daggers, sledgehammers, swords, etc. Then they formed a semicircle while following behind the executioner.

n
