Excessive ferocity due to caution

Even Qin Bai, who lived in a prominent family in the capital, had never heard of such a strange thing ever appearing.

It's important to know that many resurrection items are the result of some very powerful individuals who, at great cost, tampered with the fact that causality is difficult to erase, and brought a dead person back to life.

But now, that ghostly thing that appeared in the Abyss... can not only take away a person's soul, but also directly sever their cause and effect.

This is so weird!

The two carefully stepped through the passageway of the greenhouse and entered the church's huge back garden.

The garden is vast and meticulously divided into sections. Different plants, which have been strangely corrupted into terrifying monsters, are stretching their bodies wildly, as if they have come alive.

The once vibrant flowers and lush green leaves have now turned into a black, sparse, and rotten mess.

A nauseating sap was dripping from the tree.

On some trees and in the grass, there are still fresh corpses, being slowly eaten away by plants.

As Zhao Yi and his companion entered, many plants around them turned to look at them. Qin Bai appeared somewhat nervous, while Zhao Yi, sensing something, quickly took out the human skin of Ke Laibin.

This thing obviously has a good deterrent effect on these plant-like spirits.

After all, judging from the location where Claybin died, he had worked as a greenhouse manager for a period of time before his death.

It's just that the time is relatively short.

Numerous sticky, viscous eyeballs of varying sizes grew from the menacing, terrifying plant, all crammed together in a dense and grotesque manner.

Their eyes were filled with an indescribable greed as they looked at Zhao Yi and his companion, yet they were also extremely wary of the human skin in Zhao Yi's hand, and could only make strange and restless noises.

The road is difficult to travel.

With the human skin clearing the way, the two escaped unharmed.

Ahead, new corpses appeared.

Unlike the previous corpses, these corpses were covered in wounds.

Some were even broken.

Clearly, they were killed by the plants in the garden.

"Brother Yizi, don't you think the plants around us have changed?"

As they walked, Qin Bai's tone gradually became serious.

Zhao Yi said:

"The closer you get to the depths of the church, the closer you get to that eeriness, and the deeper you become corrupted, so these things become more aggressive."

"Krebin's human skin might not be of any use later; be prepared for battle at any time!"

Qin Bai nodded.

As we ventured deeper into the back garden, a thick fog descended.

Many eerie figures moved heavily forward in the thick fog.

They wore ancient and tattered clothes, were bound by heavy shackles, and looked dazed and confused.

Some people were barefoot, their bones shaved off, leaving only a pile of rotten flesh.

Some of the men, imprisoned in shackles, had blisters all over their arms from being scalded with hot oil, which dripped down along with blood.

Some people also had tags made from the skeletons of mysterious creatures stuck in their bodies.

They exuded a chilling aura, yet showed no hostility towards the two.

These eerie figures wandered through the thick fog, like lost souls.

"Brother Yizi..."

Qin Bai's face grew increasingly pale.

"Should we... go back?"

"If these guys suddenly attack, I'm afraid we really won't be able to get out..."

In the thick fog, countless eerie figures wearing shackles wandered around, making Qin Bai's heart tremble with fear!

This scene... is too eerie!

"Look at their clothing, it's very different from the style of clothing in the Ronar Empire."

"There is also a significant difference in their appearance."

"Where...did they come from?"

"What exactly did the church summon through that grand array?"

With so many mysteries swirling around him, Qin Bai's fear dissipated considerably as soon as Zhao Yi uttered those words.

"Brother Yizi... please stop talking."

He pursed his lips.

"I'll go."

He knew that once he got here, it was too late to turn back.

Without Krebin's human skin, he would never have been able to successfully cross that incredibly dangerous back garden.

The two carefully avoided the lingering ghostly figures and entered deeper into the church!

In the distance, the sounds of battle suddenly arose, along with faint screams of terror:

"Captain, these monsters are impossible to kill!"

"Get out of here!"

"Quick... Pfft!"

"what!"

"Help...please don't leave me!!"

One scream after another came intermittently. Zhao Yi didn't feel anything, but Qin Bai, the young boy, was losing his courage.

"You're scared."

Zhao Yi suddenly spoke up.

Qin Bai's voice trembled:

"kind of."

Zhao Yi:

"Get through this."

Qin Bai took a deep breath.

"good!"

The two headed towards the direction of the battle.

On the scorched earth shrouded in mist, numerous corpses and damaged artifacts were found.

Their deaths were gruesome; after the great battle, they looked as if they had been torn apart by hand, and not a single corpse was intact.

Zhao Yi poked the corpse with a scalpel.

really.

These people were fighting with the wandering ghostly figures in the mist.

The situation... was almost entirely one-sided.

These people belong to the capital city, are organized and disciplined, know each other, and have considerable combat power, far superior to the near-perfect trial participants Zhao Yi had encountered before.

Even for Zhao Yi, it would be extremely difficult to win against these people head-on.

Of course... that was before Zhao Yi obtained the two cursed items.

These ghostly figures wandering in the thick fog, though their strength is limited to the quasi-Great Ferocity Realm, possess unimaginably terrifying physical bodies and boundless power approaching the Great Ferocity Realm!

The instruments of torture they wore were even more bizarre. Some purple or even gold quality items would crack or shatter upon contact with them!

"Don't touch those ghostly figures... and especially don't touch the instruments of torture they wear!"

Zhao Yi gave instructions.

Qin Bai nodded nervously.

"Brother Yizi, I've discovered that these instruments of torture are not the church's instruments of torture."

"These are not tools for spiritual practice, but... instruments of torture for imprisoning criminals!"

Zhao Yi's eyes gleamed, and he said:

"These people have no connection with the church or the Skull Church."

"The style difference is too great."

"Let's keep going in. As long as we don't encounter these wandering ghosts along the way, they won't attack us."

Qin Bai glanced at Zhao Yi.

Although he didn't know how Zhao Yi knew, he felt much more at ease after hearing Zhao Yi's words.

The two carefully avoided the wandering ghosts carrying torture instruments and continued on their way.

Until a huge, magnificent bronze palace came into view.

The thick fog obscured the view, preventing the two from seeing the interior of the hall.

Only a faint outline of a plaque could be seen above the ancient, dark green hall, with words written in bright red:

【仵官堂】
