Chapter Seventy: Lao Zi Slaughtered Him!

  Apart from Baldy Kevin, these two rascals, Sharuba and Katuo, were his best friends in the Imperial Guard! Seeing them being tied up on the spot, Sharuba's injuries weren't too severe, but Katuo was badly hurt. He had an arrow lodged in his chest, which had pierced right through him, and his left arm hung limply, apparently having been chopped off, it was unclear whether it was severed or not.

  Behind those two men, there were several cavalrymen. Judging from their attire, they didn't seem to be part of the Imperial Guard, probably Butler's subordinates.

  Xia Ya's heart suddenly became anxious, his heart racing like a drum, as he watched Sharba and Kato being tied up in front of the sacrificial altar. The Odin people behind them immediately kicked the several prisoners to their knees on the ground. Sharba still wanted to resist, but after being kicked several times, he finally knelt down. The thin priest stood in front of the several captives, looking at each one, then walked to the last Byzantine cavalryman in the row.

  The cavalrymen of the 13th Legion were all tough guys, not one of them begged for mercy, they all had a stern expression, staring coldly at the executioner. However, when the executioner let out a cruel laugh and pulled something out from a leather bag on his waist, several prisoners finally changed color, even the bravest Sharba showed a hint of horror in his eyes.

  It was a small insect, about the length of a finger, with a silver body and green light emanating from it, as if it would glow on its own. The priest carefully pinched one of the insects and then used his other hand to grasp the chin of the Byzantine cavalryman, forcing him to open his mouth. The cavalryman clenched his teeth tightly, but an Odinist approached and stabbed him in the side with a dagger, causing him to cry out in pain and open his mouth, at which point the priest quickly stuffed the insect into his mouth!

  The Byzantine cavalryman's face suddenly changed, his body stiffened, and a green mist burst out of his nose. Suddenly, his entire face was covered in green gas!

  Then, the cavalry quickly closed his eyes and died, but a lump suddenly bulged on his head, and a big package seemed to be bulging on his forehead. Under that package, something was twisting, and with a "poof" sound, his head was drilled open, and the emerald green little bug broke out of his head!

  Looking through the hole in his head, the entire head of the cavalry was hollowed out! The brain matter had all disappeared, and the insect's body had grown at least twice as large, clearly having sucked the cavalryman's brain dry! The green glow on its body grew stronger, its bloated body began to twist and turn, and it was pinched up by the priest in one hand.

  He pinched the plump little bug in his hand, with a face full of excitement and smug smile.

  "Hey! Kart, you've seen more than I have. What the hell did this Odin guy do?!" Sharlba spat out a wad of phlegm: "Damn it, being caught and killed is one thing, but this guy..."

  Kato had already turned pale, and he barely squeezed out a voice: "Damn it, this is Odin's sacrifice, absorbing our souls! We can't even die properly, did you see that bug? It eats people's brains and has already sucked their souls in! That's a Soul-Eating Bug... damn it... we're done for."

  "Damn it!" Sharba also changed color, he suddenly roared in anger, struggling desperately: "Son of a bitch Odin people, pig, hybrid, low IQ fool! Come on and kill me with one knife!!!"

  Odin lightly pinched the worm on his fingertips, then slowly walked to the side of the green fire heap. At this moment, the fire heap had weakened a lot and was gradually showing signs of extinguishing. Although there were two assistants of Odin's ritual who kept adding firewood to the fire heap, they couldn't stop the dimming of the green flames at all.

  The old man threw the worm that had sucked human brains into the fire heap...

  Suddenly, the flames burst forth, as if they had new fuel, and the raging fire reached a height of three to four meters. The color of the flames was a dismal green!!

  The satisfied smile, then the hands reached into the flames and lightly pinched, when the fingers withdrew, it was actually that insect! The insect had been burning in the fire, but surprisingly, it was not damaged at all. Its originally swollen body had become as thin as before, as if the soul absorbed into its body had been burned away by the fire, while its own body was unafraid of the flames.

  He held the worm in his hand and walked up to another Byzantine captive, this time it was Sharba, who stood at the front of the line.

  Xia Ya was already numb with fear! Especially that strange worm that drills into people's mouths and sucks out their brains, finally bursting out of the body, its appearance is simply like a maggot, making people feel chilled to the bone!

  He was thoroughly shocked and didn't come to his senses for a while, but when the priest took out that disgusting and terrifying insect from the fire pit and approached Sharba, Shaya suddenly reacted!

  At this moment, Xia Ya's heart was in a state of turmoil, with two thoughts constantly struggling.

  Going out? With so many Odin's people around, going down is also a dead end.

  Not going out? The people below are their own companions, and they are also friends who have been recognized by themselves. They are the first friends to taste the flavor of "friendship" in 18 years!!

  For a moment, Xia Ya's face twisted in expression. Finally, the toad's eyes twitched at the corners, his fingers tightly grasped the fire fork, and with a fierce tug on his waistband, he took a deep breath before pouncing down!

  Damn it! If I'm going to die, then so be it! But watching my friends die in front of me without doing anything, this kind of cowardly act, is not something that Xia Ya can do!!!

  Sharba had already given up in his heart, this brave man was not afraid of death, but thinking that even his soul would be sucked away by such a miserable and terrible way of dying, he couldn't help but feel some fear, closing his eyes tightly to await death, when suddenly he heard a loud roar beside his ear!

  He looked up to see a figure pouncing down from the tree, hair disheveled, wearing tattered leather armor covered in dust and bloodstains, shouting as he descended, sounding like a pig being slaughtered - who was this if not Xia Ya that rookie?!

  Xia Ya's sudden appearance was like a heavenly soldier descending from the sky, and it instantly made Sharuba and Kato change their expressions! Both of them were elite Byzantine warriors, and they immediately struggled to jump up, simultaneously charging towards the Odin people behind them with a loud crash.

  Xia Yazai fell to the ground and rolled over, fiercely pouncing on that sacrifice!

  He knew very well that if he were to fight alone, it would be a dead end! The only thread of life was to grasp this Odin sacrifice who looked quite high in status!!

  Xia Ya's movements were swift, and with one pounce, she was already in front of the sacrificial priest. She stretched out her hand to grab him, and suddenly a terrifying roar sounded from beside her!

  A sense of danger suddenly spread throughout his body, and Xia Ya's hair stood on end in that instant. This dangerous feeling made him instinctively shrink his head and violently pounce to the ground!

  This action saved his life!

  With a whoosh, a huge claw swept over his head! Xia Ya pounced on the ground and quickly rolled forward. As soon as he turned around, he saw a half-beast warrior like a giant bear in front of him. The massive palm swung over, and Xia Ya could only block it with his fire fork!

  With a crisp sound, the sharp fire fork cut off the opponent's palm without any accident, and a broken giant palm flew out.

  But Xia Ya also hummed, retreating three steps in a row. His fire fork was undamaged, but the tiger's mouth and palm holding the fire fork were shaken with severe pain!

  Even a powerful barbarian like Xia Ya is having such a hard time, it can be seen how terrifying the strength of this bear soul warrior is!

  Other bear soul warriors surrounded them, while several gray shadows flashed, and the wolf soul warriors behind them moved even more swiftly, flying over a few wolves pounced in front of the bear soul warriors!

  What a swift movement! Xia Ya's scalp tightened instantly, and he fell backwards, an wolf-like warrior almost brushed past his scalp, landed on the ground, also like a wolf with four limbs propped up on the ground, then turned around, bared his teeth and let out a loud roar at Xia Ya.

  Damn it, indeed no longer human!

  Xia Ya cursed inwardly, but felt a burning pain on her face. She wiped her hand across it and found it covered in fresh blood. The wolf soul warrior had swiped at her from the side, and although its claws hadn't really cut into her, the sharp tips had still managed to slice through her skin!

  Damn it, his own body was strengthened with dragon's blood after all!!

  At this moment, several other Wolf Soul Warriors also rushed over. Xia Ya's heart suddenly made a decision! (Let's give it a try!)

  He suddenly spread his arms and charged forward to meet a wolf-like warrior, using his chest to greet the warrior's claws!!

  Sharba and Kato were stunned - did this rookie want to die? He actually sold the vital point on his chest to the opponent for an attack!

  With a loud crash, Xia Ya had already collided with the Wolf Soul Warrior. The wolf's claws were inserted into Xia Ya's chest, but two crisp cracking sounds were heard! Xia Ya slammed the Wolf Soul Warrior to the ground, and an idea immediately flashed through his mind!

  I won the bet!

  These guys' attacks are fierce, but they still can't pierce the dragon scales! And Xia Ya's chest has a face-basin-sized dragon scale stuck to it as a protective shield!

  Another thing that Xia Ya confirmed is: The power of these Wolf Soul Warriors is much weaker than that of the Bear Soul Warriors, but their agility is far superior. In comparison, these Wolf Soul Warriors are more like enhanced versions of the Ice Plain Hunters.

  When Xia Ya landed, both hands had already grasped the wolf soul warrior. Taking advantage of the opponent's claws being blocked and broken by the dragon scales, Xia Ya twisted his hands and snapped the opponent's neck with a "crack"!

  He grabbed the corpse with one hand, turned around, and slammed it into a bear soul warrior in front of him. The bear soul warrior was knocked to the ground - after all, the strength of the tortoise might not be weaker than that of the bear soul warrior! With a full-strength slam, the bear soul warrior suddenly fell to the side and crashed onto the blazing green fire heap with a loud crash!

  Suddenly, a shrill cry of despair echoed out. The bear warrior's entire body was engulfed in green flames and rolled around on the ground, but the green fire showed no signs of extinguishing itself. In an instant, this guy's robust physique began to wither away rapidly, as if some kind of power inside his body had been quickly burned out!

  The other beast soul warriors immediately retreated in fear, and Xia Ya's heart was clear: these guys are afraid of this green flame!

  At this moment, the emaciated priest had already run out more than a dozen steps, shouting loudly in his mouth. The distant roar of the Odin warriors came from afar, and large groups of Odin warriors poured in from the woods! Xia Ya turned around and quickly threw the fire fork at the priest with all her might.

  With a thud, the fire fork directly pierced through the leg of the sacrificial offering, its power sending him tumbling down and deeply nailing him to the ground! Xia Ya quickly turned around and pounced forward, and a wolf soul warrior who was pressing in from behind didn't even have time to react. With a scraping sound, a piece of armor was torn off his body. Fortunately, the wolf soul warrior's strength had decreased significantly, and after being blocked by the armor, it only left a few deep scars on his back! Xia Ya had already pounced down beside the sacrificial offering, yanking out the fire fork in one swift motion, not even bothering with the sacrificial offering's anguished cries. He grasped the sacrificial offering's neck and lifted him up, the fire fork pressed horizontally against the sacrificial offering's neck. Turning around, he let out a fierce roar towards the surrounding Odin warriors:

  "Who dares to come over, I'll slaughter him!!"
