Chapter 1038: Part 2

“What next?”

“As planned, take the creature to see the High Priest. Only the High Priest can determine if it’s the Bright Venerable reincarnated.”

Li Mao’s face was full of speechlessness. Anyone with a bit of sense could tell that this was definitely an extremely dangerous mutated creature, right? Just because it suddenly appeared during the prayer, it’s considered the Bright Venerable reincarnated?

But he couldn’t say that. Red Swan’s spear was no joke, so he could only say, “How do you plan to take it to see the High Priest? It surely won’t just follow you, right? If it touches you even a bit, you’ll explode and die!”

Red Swan said, “We’ll talk about it later, there’s always a way. Maybe the creature can speak human language.”

This made Li Mao utterly speechless.

“Let’s go,” Sun Shisan patted Li Mao, “Anyway, we’ve got masks, the sooner we finish, the less it’ll stink.”

Li Mao wore a self-made gas mask from his waist, and then followed Red Swan and Sun Shisan back to the underground hideout.

At this moment, the three were surprised to find that after the blue creature had eaten the man’s heart, it seemed to receive some kind of substantial nourishment; its body had grown larger, and a furry tail had appeared.

It was lying on the statue’s belly, its big tail covering its body like a blanket, sleeping soundly.

“This… creature seems to really like this statue.” Li Mao said.

Red Swan’s eyes also flickered, “Maybe if we transport the statue along with it, it won’t resist.”

“Let’s handle the corpse first.” Sun Shisan said.

The three of them were physically strong, and within half an hour, they had dug a deep pit seven to eight meters wide, burying all the filth.

Then they opened the top cover of the underground hideout for ventilation, and luckily the foul smell dissipated slightly, becoming tolerable.

“What now?” Li Mao asked, huffing and puffing, “Your underground hideout looks like it’s only big enough for someone to stoop. Even if the creature stays motionless on the statue, we couldn’t move it through the hideout.”

“Outside is even more impossible. Such a large target, the message would reach the hunters within five kilometers. A uniquely peculiar-looking mutated creature… we’d definitely be listed as the highest level hunt immediately.”

“I do have a suggestion…”

“If you plan to suggest I go to the Church for help and leave you two here to guard, then shut up.” Red Swan said coldly.

Li Mao paused, and Sun Shisan laughed, “Brother Li, do you think because Red Swan is young, she’d be easy to deceive? She’s the smartest kid I’ve ever seen.”

“You can still laugh…” Li Mao sighed deeply, feeling like he was the only normal person in the underground hideout.

“I have an idea.” Sun Shisan said.

“Speak, Uncle Sun.”

“You go to the Church for help, and I’ll stay with Brother Li to watch over this creature.”

“Uncle Sun, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but this matter is extremely important. Although you’ve watched me grow, ultimately you’re not one of the Church members, and moreover, Li Mao is exceptionally cunning. I’m afraid you’ll make a mistake.”

Li Mao rolled his eyes, thinking isn’t Sun Shisan’s suggestion the same as mine? Why such a difference in attitude! And what do you mean exceptionally cunning? I, Li Mao, am also an honest businessman in the city. Just got a little gambling problem, these tricks are forced by you scavengers!

Sun Shisan said, “Since you’ve cultivated the ‘Holy Blood Secret Scripture’ to the fourth level, you should have learned the [Battle Technique] from the Church, right? Use the battle technique to collapse the exit, the top garbage falls down, we’ll be stuck.”

“Even if we want to dig out, if you’re fast, it’s too late.”

“Do you want to suffocate us?” Li Mao wailed.

Red Swan’s eyes lit up, this seemed like a feasible idea!

Looking at the Blue Boy sleeping soundly not far away, she knew there was no time to waste. She gritted her teeth, thrust the Long Spear like a dragon, with a dazzling red light, the entire entrance exploded, and the garbage on top poured down like a landslide, sealing the exit tightly.

Blue Boy sensed the energy fluctuation, raised an eyelid for a glance, then closed it again nonchalantly.

This made Red Swan’s heart tremble even more, knowing that even if this creature wasn’t the Bright Venerable reincarnated, it was definitely significant.

Wasting no time, after destroying the exit, she quickly moved and slipped into the underground hideout, disappearing swiftly.

After Red Swan left, Li Mao jumped up to clear the exit, but as soon as he stood up, he found Sun Shisan had already pointed his gun at him.

“Throw your gun and weapons on the ground.” Sun Shisan said.

“Old Sun, have you gone crazy too?” Li Mao gaped, urgently said, “I can temporarily modify the floating robot for transportation, in just four, no, three hours we can clear a path!”

Sun Shisan didn’t answer but said, “Li Mao, what kind of feeling did you have during prayer?”

Li Mao was stunned, more anxious, “Now is not the time to talk about this, every second counts…”

“Answer me!”

Sun Shisan suddenly shouted sternly.

Li Mao was dumbfounded, seemingly seeing for the first time Sun Shisan, who usually smiled at anything, roar like a lion, his mouth opened and closed a couple of times before saying, “Calm… I felt calm.”

“Really,” Sun Shisan’s scars on his face quivered slightly under the tritium light, “It’s said that Bright Venerable possesses the ability to enlighten minds, illuminate paths, during the recitation of prayers, the deepest desires in our hearts will emerge.”
