Chapter 164: The Horror Within, the Existence of Devils!
Within the depths of the cemetery.
Roy could be seen clenching his fist now and then as they quietly tailed the two black crow puppets in their front- clearly hesitating whether to destroy them for good or not.
Sigh.
However, unfortunately, although his premonition of death decreased drastically in the past 10 minutes of following the crows, it's still present within his consciousness, causing him to helplessly drop the thought- lest he created a mistake and they really die within this place, then become forgotten in the future...

Swish~
Darkness already consumed the land as the niches in the surroundings seemed to create a harrowing sight- in addition to the blandness of the place, making the scene much more forbidding.
Slowly, as their eyes wandered around, the faint writing within the niches, covered in thin soil often entered their vision, telling them their names, time of birth, and death- often carrying epitaphs of words on how the deceased died.
Their silhouettes (niches) often flickered within the sight of the three, vanishing beyond the thick grey fog and darkness before again appearing after a while, causing the restlessness and anxiousness they were experiencing to increase by folds...
Making them feel that everything around them was alive and breathing.
Swish.
The canopy above rustles with the wind as the silence of the insect that should have appeared on the eve of the night never came, making one's mortal senses deaf due to the strange peacefulness of the place.
Throb, throb, throb...
Slowly, their chest began to beat at an alarming rate as they followed the crows toward the unknown, toward the seemingly inevitable death, yet they couldn't halt nor escape- halting means death, yet following could prolong their life and strive for luck to survive.
"Mom, I want to go home...'
The teenager thought in fear. His initial curiosity and amusement as he gazed at the slithering crow already vanished minutes ago, moreover, the sweat on his forehead and back already accumulated.
Although the place was extremely cold, to the point that he occasionally shivered, his body still continued forming sweats...

Kekeke~
Soon, after minutes of walking, a sudden deep devil-like laugh entered the ears of the three, making them momentarily halt as they gazed toward the origin of the sound- greatly shaken.
Gritting their teeth in panic, the armoured man, without hesitation, increased the Qi he provided toward the flame on his palm by twice the amount, causing it to increase drastically- illuminating the far land in the process...
Swish!
In an instant, the scene of a small farm slowly unfolds within their shocked eyes, followed by the fragrance of upgraded to grade-1 herbs drifting to their nostrils, making them heavily breathe in bliss- forgetting their current situations momentarily.
Keke~ Keke~
This...
Stiffly lifting their head, the sight of a dark scarecrow, slowly waving its stretchable arms toward their location, directly reflected within their squeezed irises- making their beings cold as their subconsciousness reacted on their own.
"F*ck!"
Cursing out loud, the armoured man immediately waved the flames within his palm, firing it toward the scarecrow at breathtaking speed, instantly igniting its figure, making it comparable to a humanoid torch!
KEKE! KEEEKEEE!
With a loud cry, the scarecrow unimaginably twisted its upper body in pure agony, crying in high pitch tone as it tried to put the scorching flame off its body but only in vain- instead, it only made the matter worse, causing the flame to wholly envelop its being!
Crackling, Sizzle~
Slowly, its decaying yet wrinkled skin began to melt down, falling off toward the ground as it burned some herbs beneath it- making them slightly charred before being extinguished by the dampness of the atmosphere...
Followed by its buttoned eyes beginning to burn similar to hard plastic, making the agony reflected within its eyes more unbearable.
Huff~ Huff~
Breathing heavily, unable to ascertain the abomination on their front, the man, wearing brown leather armour was about to finish off the scarecrow in the short distance by firing consecutive flames toward it, when suddenly...
Beyond their senses, a cold yet dreadful voice resounded within the dark environment- drilling toward their consciousness, making their body seem heavy as if they were wearing cold armour that weighed hundreds of pounds.
"Keke~ If I were you I would turn off that fire immediately, or else I might not guarantee you to survive and see the day tomorrow."
Leo malevolently enunciates beyond the grey thick fog, unhurriedly manipulating his shadow arm to create a long sharp spear- ready to kill the beings in the short distance if they still tried to kill his first successful puppet...
The first living puppet within his creations who had a genuine soul!
"This, who...'
Hearing this, Roy frantically scanned the surrounding environment, abruptly feeling that his chest was about to jump outside his body as his premonition was sending him countless alarms- almost deafening his senses as he clenched his fist with force...
Ready to fight for a slim chance of survival although he knew that it was almost impossible!
His premonition had never failed him!
...
"This... The natural pressure of the Core Formation realm! A being at the stage of the Core Formation realm was really living in this kind of place...
"This, we are dead, we are really dead this time!
"We entered the territory of a Core Formation realm cultivator without asking for permission!"
The fear of death began to consume the thoughts of the teenager, making his body tremble involuntarily. His face already pale white began to think at hastened speed, wanting to find a solution for possible survival.
"This, why not...'
Knowing that beings who chose to live in this kind of place often have problems within their minds- a sudden brilliant thought emerges within his feeble consciousness, causing his eyes to light up with a glint, feeling that a chance of survival appeared within his being.
"Oh, almightly Core Formation cultivation, I want to sacrifice the two plump beings within my side for a chance of my survival.
"If you want, I could even be your servant, cleaning this damp cemetery for you my lord!
"If it still does not work, I could find a pure and young lady for the lord almighty!"
The teenager abruptly bends his knees before kowtowing in all directions, causing the expression of the two beside him to instantly contort, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"We are almost close step to death yet you want to make the being who was about to kill us laugh?
"This child is beyond saving, I should have burned those manhuas in the past... Sigh, unfortunately, it was too late now. His personality already changed toward the worst!'
Trying their best not to slap their forehead in disappointment, the two quietly thought within their minds... Waiting for the being suspected to be a Core Formation realm cultivator to quickly kill them all, wanting to escape this embarrassing situation!
...
This...
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon being revered by someone for the first time!
+5,000 horror points!
+4 free attribute points!
+1 Medium Enlightenment Stone! ]
Leo stared back and forth toward the notification that appeared in front of him and toward the kowtowing teenager in the distance- speechless, to the point that he had forgotten his beautiful plan to continuously earn horror points!
"This, how could I continue scaring them when his being revered me?"
He thought, not knowing what to do as silence again slowly enveloped the place... Even the cry of the scarecrow in the short distance already stopped at one point!
"Keke~ how amusing, besides that who told you that I planned to kill you all?"
Thinking for a while, finally unable to bear the silence within, Leo again unhurriedly spoke in a deep voice, subconsciously making his voice soft as it travelled toward the senses of the three.
...
"F*ck, not plan to kill us all? Then doesn't that mean he still plans to kill some of us if he is dissatisfied?'
Roy cursed within his mind, his initial excitement upon hearing parts of the unknown being words instantly vanished upon hearing the "all" word at the end of the sentence- almost driving him crazy due to the restless premonition within him.
However, opposite the feelings of Roy, the teenager's eyes further glinted, revealing a brilliance within as if he could already smell the dew of the vibrant grasses and leaves tomorrow- upon being grazed by the morning light.
"My lord, so you already tell that I'm safe?
"So what kind of job do you want me to do my Lord? Should I clean this cute scarecrow or should I begin sweeping the dry leaves within the cemetery?"
The teenager enthusiastically speaks, not waiting for the unknown being to reply as he approaches the scarecrow in the short distance... Making the expression of the two behind him become more dumbfounded.
Throb...
However, upon reaching 5 meters away from the scarecrow, the teenager's eyes quivered slightly, fighting the urge to step back and shout as he resisted his instinct... Grimacing, he forcefully smiled as he stiffly continued walking...
Walking anxiously toward the seemingly Devil in the short distance.
