Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 230 Red Deer "Incurable" Special Inheritance (6k)

He remembered.

The man before him was not from his tribe, but a wealthy man who held the lives of thousands of people in his tribe in his hands.

Cement roads, streetlights, supermarkets, houses that provide shelter from the wind and rain, schools, hospitals...

If you anger the other party, everything you have now will disappear.

Gumbling—

The chieftain, who wielded immense power, lowered his head, reverting to his previous posture—or rather, even lower one.

"I'm very sorry, I lost control of my emotions just now. Our tribe has a tradition of respecting the corpses of our ancestors, so..."

Louis glanced at it but said nothing.

The chief seemed very familiar with the social rules of the outside world. He skillfully took out a black eagle feather, which stood upright and was beautiful, clearly not an ordinary object.

"These are the tail feathers of the divine eagle that our tribe used to raise. They can withstand one attack for the wearer. Since the gods stopped responding to us, the raising of the divine eagle has also stopped. These are the only eagle feathers we have left."

Louis took the twenty-centimeter-long tail feather and examined it carefully, ignoring the chief's words and completely disbelieving them.

After a brief examination, I discovered that it contained a curse-like power similar to a substitute doll.

Having confirmed this in his heart, Louis smiled and helped the chief up with both hands. "Ah, I can understand why the chief is so angry to see his ancestor's tomb being dug up. It's nothing."

"However, the chief should hurry up and deal with it. Judging from the dryness of the soil, it should be resolved in the next day or two. Perhaps there is still time."

Kalusa breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to appease the wealthy man.

He immediately perked up and said, "You're right, I'll go right now."

Louis and his companion then returned to town.

Perhaps what Kalusa said was true, because as soon as he began to speak, the group around him erupted in a cacophony of noise.

They then began to gather people and launch a town-wide manhunt.

The search involves apprehending any recent strangers who have arrived here, as well as guarding the area by their own kind—the red deer.

Of course, Louis and others were not among the strangers.

……

Just as the Kalusa tribe was waging a major war.

The suburbs of Orlando.

Kelly, the boy who had just taught the bullies a lesson with his abilities, felt incredibly excited.

Growing up in a single-parent family and being thin, he developed some bad habits, such as... pica.

This further contributed to his thin physique and social isolation, and in America, it is almost a given that social outcasts are bullied.

Naturally, he was bullied.

But perhaps fate was also calling him to rebel, so a priest came to him with power and bestowed it upon him.

And this ability...

Looking at his palm, Kelly took a razor blade and made a sharp cut. In just two seconds, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, he took the eraser from the school bully's desk and swallowed it bit by bit.

Then, bang!

One punch!
Two punches!

Punch to the flesh.

But the blow wasn't aimed at the school bully; it landed on him.

Strangely, he felt no pain at all; instead, the school bully knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.

Seeing this, he felt a surge of joy. With this, he no longer had to worry about spending his family's money on medical expenses as before.

No, no.

I've already gained the ability, so why do I still have this kind of thinking!

Kelly's eyes hardened instantly; he decided to take revenge on those bullies.

He looked at the bully and gave a cold smile.

At this time.

Several of the bully's friends rushed over and helped him up, anxiously waiting for the person who would ask what was wrong. But they happened to see Kelly looking at them with a cold smile.

"Hey! You freak, what did you do to my brother?"

Reed, the eldest son of the school's football coach and the leader of the group, grabbed Kelly by the collar and questioned him angrily.

Kelly was initially panicked, but quickly calmed down and looked at Reed with a cold smile.

Reed was startled; it really was related to him?

But anger followed.

You, a little guy, dare to look at me like that?

A fist the size of a sandbag was swung out.

boom!
"Aww!!"

Reed suddenly covered his eyes and took a few steps back; his eyes were already bruised.

Reed was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but he still refused to believe it and charged forward again to launch an attack.

but……

"what!"

This is bizarre!!
Reed looked like he'd seen a ghost, took a few steps back in a panic, and quickly ran away with his brother and friends. As they left, he gave Kelly a look of fear mixed with resentment.

Kelly took a deep breath and opened her arms wide with joy, as if embracing the future.

Having acquired this ability, I now possess a brand new future!
But he didn't see it.

On the second floor of the teaching building, a pair of eyes were staring intently at him.

……

at the same time.

Small town.

"So, a conman posing as a priest came here before? And even stayed overnight?"

"And then the next day, the red deer disappeared?"

"Yes, Chief, that's what we found out. I think the Red Deer might have gone there."

He pointed to the suburbs.

Kalusa looked at the distant suburbs, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Should we go over there?

If that doesn't work, I'll just take a few people and go there quietly. I won't make a big fuss and send the tribesmen over.

Thinking this, Kalusa was about to speak when Louis walked over. "It seems Chief Kalusa is heading to Orlando? Do you need my help?"

Kalusa's eyes lit up. "Is that okay?"

Louis smiled. "Of course."

In Louis's view, the Carusa tribe was now already his.

So it's no big deal to lend a hand.

Moreover, this matter seems to be dedicated to him, and he is quite curious about what the abilities of Kalusa's ancestors would be.

This technology that can preserve the power of our ancestors is truly amazing!

He made a gesture.

The vehicle quickly drove over.

Kalusa and his men got in and sped off towards the suburbs.

It was already dark by then.

As the sun sets, darkness rises.

A murder is taking place on the highway.

crunch--

boom!
The vehicle came to an abrupt stop, knocking the frail student flying.

Reed sprinted down, glanced at Kelly struggling in front of the car, and said, "You know how tough it is to talk to Domi now?!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Let's go, let's go!"

"My dad called."

"Don't worry about it for now."

Four or five people immediately got into the car and drove away in a hurry.

Yes.

This is their revenge.

Not only that.

They also want to go to Kelly's house, cause some trouble, play some pranks, and let Kelly know how powerful they are.

After the car drove away, Kelly stood up, clutching his head. The bloodstains on his body healed rapidly, and his eyes were filled with anger.

He already possessed this divinely bestowed power, and all he wanted to do was beat them up, but they actually wanted to kill him!
Anger drove him to run wildly.

At this time.

A man with a red headband appeared nearby. He saw Kelly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly followed.

The two of them continued running and chasing each other.

Why are you chasing me?!

"You, give it back! Give me back my power!"

Red Deer shouted breathlessly.

Kelly was completely bewildered, finding the man strange, and ran even faster.

"Give it back!"

Watching Kelly run further and further away, Red Deer shouted in despair.

Ahhhh! !

Red Deer knelt down on the main road, angrily pounding the ground.

God knows why these things happened!
He was merely following the tribe's orders to guard the tomb, though he harbored some ulterior motives, wanting to secretly transfer the power to himself through a ritual.

But before it could be implemented, an accident happened.

"That damned priest is a fraud, damn it, damn it, damn it! If the tribe finds out, they'll kill me."

"No, I have to get my abilities back as soon as possible, or I'm finished!"

Red Deer gritted its teeth and continued running forward.

just.

On this road.

Louis's convoy was also speeding towards them, as this was the only road from the town to the suburbs.

……

……

And at this time.

Kelly's house.

A prank is taking place.

"Are we really going to destroy Kelly's house?"

One of the bullies said hesitantly.

"Hmph, it's just a cheap self-built house anyway, it's not worth much."

"But……"

"No buts, if you don't have the guts, then leave."

"Hurry up and come."

Several people tied ropes to the two corners of the house and attached them to a vehicle. Once the vehicle started its engine, it could be pulled and tilted.

The moment they got into the car.

In the corner, a black-haired girl was secretly watching.

The girl who spoke to Kelly was Domi, and also the reason Kelly had just been bullied.

As Reed and the others prepared to destroy the house, Domi's expression remained calm, as if he were pondering something. Suddenly, he took out his phone and started sending a message.

The vehicle starts.

Buzz! !

With the engine revving up.

The cheap, self-built house also tilted, waking the people inside.

but……

An oil lamp also fell over.

The house burst into flames in an instant, and Kelly's mother's cries for help seemed to come from inside.

this moment.

Reed and the others were stunned.

They just wanted to cause destruction, they didn't intend to kill anyone.

After a moment of panic, the vehicle sped away and disappeared without a trace.

Domi, who remained hidden in the corner, calmly watched the scene, showing no intention of helping anyone. "That's fine," he thought. "People who have lost loved ones are more likely to feel empty inside and be controlled." "But how did this ability end up in Kelly's body? He shouldn't have any connection with the Kalusa tribe."

"Never mind, let's wait here for Kelly to come back, and then we'll go over and comfort him."

After a while.

Kelly rushed back and saw the fire. He was filled with despair and rushed in without hesitation.

"Mommy mommy!"

But all they saw was a woman who had choked to death in the thick smoke in a corner.

Kelly, burning with passion, carried the woman out.

The flesh on his body was burning while simultaneously healing rapidly.

It was both terrifying and magical.

But Kelly didn't care about any of that at the moment. He kept shaking his mother, trying to get her to open her eyes, but that was obviously wishful thinking.

Kelly collapsed to the ground, her eyes bloodshot.

He looked at his mother's body with grief, took out his phone, and dialed the fire department.

At this time.

Domi, who had been hiding in the shadows, rushed out and stared in astonishment at the scene. "My God!"

"Kelly, are you alright?"

"Domi?"

"I... I just saw Reed and his gang driving this way. I thought they were up to something, so I came to check it out. I never expected..."

!!!

Kelly's expression instantly turned ferocious.

"Reed?"

"It's them?!"

"They did it?!"

Domi nodded, looking startled.

Kelly's face was filled with hatred and confusion.

He couldn't figure it out.

why?
Why was I treated this way simply for resisting the bullies after gaining these abilities?

Could it be that God gave me this power not so that I could use it to rebel?

No.

I want revenge.

I will take my revenge!
Domi sat down next to Kelly with a sympathetic look on her face and gently stroked his hair.

Kelly buried her face in her knees and wept bitterly.

At this time.

"Ha...ha...huff...ha..."

The red deer, panting as it ran over, was also a little puzzled by this scene, but it still immediately ran towards Kelly.

The moment Domi saw the red deer, her expression changed slightly, but only for a fleeting instant.

"Hey kid, give me back my power."

Kelly, who had already raised her head and wiped away her tears, refused resolutely.

"impossible!"

???

Good grief, how dare you speak so confidently, you thief!

But faced with Kelly's bloodshot eyes, Red Deer immediately lost the idea of ​​using force. Well, if they really got into a fight, he probably wouldn't be a match for this kid.

But we have to get our abilities back!

“I will use it to take revenge; my mother was burned to death by them.”

“Okay, I’ll help you get revenge, but you have to promise me you’ll give my powers back, okay?” Red Deer said immediately.

Kelly nodded. "Okay."

For him, nothing else matters now; the most important thing is revenge.

Domi, who had been listening in, then spoke up.

“Kelly, don’t you think he’s suspicious?”

"Why did they have to show up now of all times, and the first thing they said was to give it back?"

???

Honglu frowned deeply. "What did you say? You suspect I'm lying?"

“Kelly, did a priest pass on your abilities to you? Let me tell you, that priest is a fraud. He went to our Kalusa tribe’s cemetery a couple of days ago and stole from our ancestors’ graves. That’s how he got his abilities.”

"But this ability will bring disaster to mortals, and I think you should have felt it by now."

Kelly opened her mouth. "So, Mom died because of me?"

"Well, not entirely. After all, it was someone else who did the dirty work, it just had an impact."

The lying red deer said this.

“So, we still have to kill them,” Kelly said resentfully.

"Okay, we can talk about how to do it."

For Native Americans who revered blood feuds, Red Deer had no resistance to the idea of ​​revenge.

Domi, who had been comforting Kelly, frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure and remained silent.

"Tell me about your enemy first."

"Ah."

Red Deer and Kelly seem to have formed an alliance.

As Kelly explained, Red Deer roughly understood what Kelly meant.

Among those who bullied him were two brothers, the sons of the school's football coach. In American schools, football has a very high status, and the requirement for sports activities is physical strength.

In this situation, his two sons were naturally very strong, and because Kelly was withdrawn and thin, he unfortunately became their main target of bullying.

When Kelly tried to report their bullying to their coach father, he completely ignored it, believing it was just normal interaction between boys.

“Let’s go find Reed now. I remember the school’s football coaches have apartments provided…”

but.

Buzz! ! !
The roar of vehicles echoed all around.

Before they could react, vehicles rushed out from all directions, forming a circle that completely surrounded them.

The bright headlights were so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.

"I'm sorry, you can't go anywhere right now."

Tommy respectfully opened the car door, and Louis said as he got out of the car.

Wow!
A large group of people got out of the car and surrounded them with guns.

Seeing this, Kelly instinctively stood up to protect Domi, looking at the burly men and Louis with a wary expression.

But he didn't notice how quickly the red deer's expression changed beside him.

First came confusion, then shock, and then panic and despair.

Bang!

Honglu knelt down on the ground.

???

Kelly stared in shock at the man who had begged him for his abilities. He had expected this man to be quite skilled, so why was he suddenly kneeling down?

But then Red Deer knelt on the ground, explaining and pleading with Carusa, who was standing next to Louis, "Chief, I know I failed in my duty to guard the power, and it was my fault that the inheritance was stolen. I only hope that you can give me a chance. I have found the recipient of the power, and I can ask him to return it!"

“I’ve said it before, I will only repay you after I’ve taken my revenge!” Kelly said in a stern voice.

Red Deer glared fiercely at Kelly, but didn't say anything, only looking at Kalusa pleadingly.

Kocaloosa didn't look at him, but instead looked at Louis in front of him. "Mr. Louis, this ability is dedicated to you, what do you think?"

Louis stroked his chin and looked Kelly up and down.

Don't tell me yet.

He really didn't sense any special power fluctuations from the person in front of him.

"What exactly is this power?"

Kalusa immediately replied, "This is the ability of the Death Crown Priest of our Kalusa tribe's previous generation. This ability is very special, and its basic manifestation is healing."

"No matter what kind of injury it is, it can be healed very quickly."

"Then there's the damage reflection; any damage inflicted by others will be returned in full."

"In addition, everyone's physique and potential are different, which may lead to some other abilities, but the two main ones are the most important."

"Cure and rebound."

"Moreover... in theory, this power will transfer itself when it encounters a suitable master, and it will also solidify the new master's abilities."

New abilities? Curing?

Louis's eyes grew brighter as he listened.

As he said.

Isn't this an ancestral ability that can continuously develop new capabilities?
It is passed on to those with potential, allowing them to acquire more diverse abilities, and then taken away, and the cycle continues...

Okay, it's not that simple.

If it were that simple, the Kalusa tribe would have done it long ago; why keep it sealed away until now?

"And the flaws?" Louis asked bluntly.

Kalusa didn't hesitate and said, "It's not a flaw, but each transfer will cause permanent consumption, and there are very few people with the potential to transfer their abilities autonomously. Since the ability was born, I've only encountered one."

"That was the time that caused this ability to bounce back."

In other words, this ability was initially only for healing, but later, by chance, a suitable person was encountered, and after the person transferred voluntarily, a rebound ability was added through further development.

The reason they don't use it is because, without encountering a suitable candidate, each inheritance is a permanent drain, which reduces the number of times the ability can be inherited.

That makes sense.

Even so, this ability to pass on knowledge is still quite special.

I never expected that Chief Kalusa would be so generous.

In that case, the reward I gave wasn't enough...

Perhaps we need to change our attitude?
"What about the upper limit? Is there an upper limit?"

After a moment's hesitation, Louis asked again.

"Regarding the upper limit, we haven't tested it, but this ability is more effective against physical attacks, and less so against special attacks..."

Louis nodded.

He looked at Kalusa and smiled, "Kalusa, you're my friend."

Kalusa's smile widened, his previous anger completely gone. As long as he could gain this man's friendship, nothing else mattered!

"Yes, friend, friend."

"Louis, this man?"

"Yes, just capture him and transfer his abilities."

Seeing that Louis and the others completely ignored them and talked to themselves for a long time, Kelly felt not much anger, but rather some fear.

He wasn't stupid; he could tell that something was off about these people.

But this is all the ability he has left, and it's the only ability that can help him take revenge. He can't give up this ability.

"Kelly! Run!"

Domi suddenly shouted.

He lunged at a soldier.

Kelly realized what was happening and rushed backward.

but.

boom!
Tommy, who had been watching him intently, immediately launched a grappling move.

They were clearly powerless against the well-trained soldiers of the Cano family.

Even if Kelly possesses healing and rebound abilities, as well as the curse abilities derived from himself, it's still the same.

Just as he snatched a piece of cloth from Tommy's body and stuffed it into his mouth, the soldiers who noticed his unusual behavior took him into custody.

After a brief encounter, these elites discovered that as long as he wasn't harmed and he was kept under control, his rebound ability wouldn't work.

Aside from his abilities, Kelly is just an ordinary high school student; he has no means to break free from his constraints.

But this time.

Kelly swallowed the fabric and then bit her tongue hard.

"Well!!"

Tommy, who was holding one of his hands, groaned and involuntarily loosened his grip slightly, but then immediately tightened it again. At the same time, he reacted quickly and used one hand to pinch Tommy's mouth, thus controlling him.

This completely eliminated the possibility of him resorting to underhanded tactics again.

This scene also caught Louis's attention.

"what?"
