My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 756 - 123 Ghost God Sacrifice

Boom!

Thunder rolled across the overcast sky, and a torrential downpour rained down.

The small square, once used for lectures, was filled with neatly arranged corpses. Warriors from the Fog Whale Clan removed their masks, faces etched with sorrow as they looked upon their departed kin, taking turns to say their final farewells.

All the Korbite beasts stood on the perimeter, rain draping over them like a veil of gossamer.

Shao Zifeng followed slowly behind the crowd, his wet hair sticking to his face, his gaze fixed on the small bodies, displaying a calmness so intense it was terrifying.

Rain gathered in the ruins, soaking the perpetually frozen ground, turning it to a slippery mire.

Rustle!

Large raindrops fell into puddles, splashing muddy water onto the faces of the children.

When everyone had finished their farewells, it was Shao Zifeng’s turn.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Shao Zifeng stepped through the mud to stand before the children.

Their eyes were closed, lined up tidily. Their soaked clothes clung to their small frames.

Shao Zifeng crouched down, carefully wiping the muddy water from each child’s face with his hands, his movements so gentle as if afraid of waking them.

Iruk, the little boy who always wiped his nose with his sleeve.

Shao Zifeng’s fingers gently removed the stubborn grime beneath his nose, revealing a clean little face.

His fingers left the boy’s cold skin, and Shao Zifeng continued towards the next child.

One by one, familiar faces became clean under his touch. Their silvery white hair swayed gently in the water, as if bidding farewell to Shao Zifeng.

Upon reaching the last child, Shao Zifeng hesitated for a long time.

"Katir!! @#￥..."

From behind the veil of rain, Kadu’s heart-wrenching cry rang out as she, carrying the hopes of the entire clan, finally let her vulnerable side show upon seeing her sister’s body.

Shao Zifeng’s palm rested on Katir’s cheek while his other hand firmly grasped her small hand. Her long eyelashes trembled lightly in the rain, as if she could wake up at any moment.

"Zifeng Gege... roasted fish."

The little girl clung to his thigh like an octopus, her large eyes brimming with anticipation.

"..."

"Zifeng Gege, oh oh oh, oh will!"

"Yidanni, don’t snatch it, it was oh who caught it first!"

"Katir is shy, she even held back yesterday while eating fish but still snatched."

The little girl’s face turned blue in anger, hands on hips as she glared at the boy called Yidanni.

"..."

"Zifeng Gege, this azure glass ice amulet was given to me by the clan mother, you all must come back safely."

The little girl stood on tiptoes, pecked Shao Zifeng quickly on the cheek, then pursed her lips and ran off, like a joyful little butterfly.

Shao Zifeng suddenly stood up, without looking back, he walked towards the rainy curtain.

Inside him, a fiery anger was building, a fury ready to burst forth at any moment.

His pace quickening through the muddy puddles, Shao Zifeng’s eyes turned as blue as gemstones. A pair of gossamer fins fluttered in the rain; his hairband came loose, his long hair billowed as if caught in a breeze.

"Whoo!"

Wrapped in gossamer fins, Crystal let out a shrill cry, seemingly infected by Shao Zifeng’s mood, her voice devoid of its usual ethereal quality.

Boom!

The wide white gossamer fins unfurled, smacking the ground fiercely, mud-laden water splashing outward in rings.

"Whoo!"

Critical’s webbed fins flapped like wings, carrying Shao Zifeng up into the gloomy skies.

The high-pitched whale song was tinged with anger. Watching the white figure disappear into the curtain of rain, the people of the Fog Whale Clan knelt in the direction they vanished.

A moment later, Kadu rose to her feet. She took one last look at her sister and said word by word, "Everyone, bury on the spot."

In the puzzled gazes of the others, Kadu used both hands to lift her dripping hair, tying it into a high ponytail at the back.

She flicked her hair and surveyed the circle with a cold voice, "Warriors, take your weapons, we follow our totem lord to avenge!"

The warriors of the Fog Whale Clan slowly stood up, their eyes becoming increasingly resolute.

Pat pat pat pat.

Gliding beneath the low-hanging storm clouds at high speed, the raindrops formed streaks as they hit, feeling like tiny stones striking their bodies.

Shao Zifeng’s gaze swept through the rain curtain, then he closed his eyes, placing his hand against the soft, smooth skin of the gemstone.

"Whooo~"

The gemstone, with its sail-like fins spread open, now wrapped around its body and dove like a missile toward the area below.

Whoosh—

The fierce wind dispersed the ubiquitous curtain of rain, and the gemstone gently landed on the summit of a towering mountain.

Jumping off the gemstone, Shao Zifeng stood still and gazed into the distance. Everything within his sight was shrouded in the rain curtain, while the dark-blue mountain range stretched out in the distance, resembling an ink wash landscape painting.

Boom boom boom!

The thunder roared within the clouds. Shao Zifeng stretched out his hand, and the illusory Space Rift unfolded amidst the rain curtain.

He reached into it and pulled out a silver briefcase, the one his mother had placed next to his luggage when he left home.

Click!

The clasp on the silver briefcase sprung open, and a wisp of black-purple mist leaked out from the gap. Shao Zifeng’s right hand trembled slightly, feeling an uncontrollable desire welling up inside him.

Resisting the urge to open the briefcase, on top of the black velvet lining lay a near-decayed bone dagger. The handle and spine of the dagger had serious honeycomb-like perforations, but the edge was still tight and rang out crisply under the knock of the raindrops.

Name: Sacrificial Bone Blade

Attribute: Unknown

Quality: ★★★

Status: Seriously damaged (single-use item)

Effect: Ghost God Sacrifice: Sacrifice a portion of one’s own blood to nourish the blade, summoning the Evil God’s Soul to take possession of the wielder.

Description: An offering used by ancient evil tribes to call upon evil gods to strengthen themselves. After use, one will acquire immense power but will become a slave to the evil god. (According to analysis, it is suspected to contain the energy of a virus, the most origin and pure virus energy.)

This dagger was exactly the one that Shao Zifeng had reserved in the national treasury, which was handed to his mother due to his abrupt departure.

Looking at the cold dagger, the desire in Shao Zifeng’s heart grew even stronger. On the back of his hand emerged purplish-red veins outlining an abstract eye, reflecting in his pupils the flickering purple-red sheen of the dagger.

Simultaneously, the dagger began to hum, emitting wisps of purple-black smoke from the honeycomb-like perforations.

’Master...’

’You finally...’

’For thousands of years...’

An ethereal and sinister voice echoed intermittently in his ears. The bone dagger gradually enlarged in his pupils, seeking to take over them.

Shao Zifeng’s breathing grew more and more rapid, his heart pounding fiercely, just as it had the first time he saw it.

"Whooo~"

Noticing Shao Zifeng’s abnormal state, the gemstone let out an anxious cry from its mouth.

Then, in a flash of purple light, Shao Zifeng fiercely grabbed the dagger with his right hand, plunging it toward his own chest.

Splash—

The sharp blade sunk to the hilt, and crimson blood instantly stained his clothes.
