A farm that breeds gods and demons
Chapter 82 - 80: Burying the Body

Chapter 82: Chapter 80: Burying the Body

But these two foreigners didn’t see it coming. Su Yu had grown suspicious of them early on. So, the moment they tried to approach under the pretext of something else, he was on high alert, extremely cautious. Consequently, their surprise attack didn’t succeed. However, he hadn’t anticipated that York could trigger a full-scale steel-spike attack. It was nearly impossible to defend against or dodge entirely. The only upside was the attack wasn’t too potent. These steel spikes could disturb Su Yu, but they couldn’t kill him.

Now, it was the darkest period just before dawn. If York possessed the "Sacred Eye" that allowed night vision, trying to hunt him down at this time could prove more of a loss for everyone.

Qin Jiagui gave a small grunt of agreement, saying, "Exactly, let’s all gather together and be careful. We’ll decide what to do next when daylight comes. York poses too big a threat to us. Do you all remember the incident with the Blood Monkey Dog? Back then, we were merely under the watchful eyes of a simple-minded beast. But York is not only more powerful than the Blood Monkey Dog, he’s also much smarter, posing a significant menace to us."

Everyone piled their food in the middle and sat down in a circle, their backs facing inward, ready for whatever would come next. They were anticipating daybreak, being most on guard against the recently escaped York - they feared he might suddenly appear and launch a sneak attack on them.

Everyone had witnessed Su Yu’s skills, but he fell flat against York. York even managed to escape in full view of everyone, despite his injuries. This alone painted a terrifying picture of him.

Taking advantage of the time at hand, Su Yu, Zhang Zhongmou, and Zhao Shichang started digging a large pit in the ground.

Zhou Birong personally held Ding Shan’s body, gently placing it in the hole. She mourned quietly, picking up a handful of soil and slowly sprinkling it over Ding Shan’s body.

"Just try to have a good sleep. Maybe when you wake up, everything will be back to normal, and everything happening now will just be a nightmare..." Zhou Birong murmured to herself.

Su Yu glanced over at Jennifer’s body lying some distance away, then walked over without a second thought. He carefully lifted and placed her body next to Ding Shan’s.

"Whether friends or enemies in life... I hope you can coexist in peace after death..." Su Yu silently prayed. Then picking up the shovel, he began to pile the excavated soil back into the pit.

Zhang Zhongmou and Zhao Shichang helped as well, and quickly buried Ding Shan’s and Jennifer’s bodies.

Just as Su Yu sat down on the ground after finishing the burial efforts, he suddenly seemed to sense something. He immediately sprang into action, shooting out onto the field, revealing a swarm of black scales on his left arm.

A rustling sound came from the patch of weeds where Su Yu had thrown himself. Then, everyone saw a dark shadow quickly turn around and dash off.

"It’s York—," Li Dong cried out in shock.

Ma Ziye also stood up, "I can’t believe he’s back so soon?"

Struggling to cover his chest, Qin Jiagui yelled out, "Su Yu... Don’t chase..."

Su Yu’s attack missed and the "Tearing Storm" ripped through the bunch of weeds, instantly shredding and displacing a large area of the vegetation. Spotting York stumblingly running towards the distance, Su Yu was about to give chase but was halted by Qin Jiagui’s desperate cry. Woken up from his sudden impulse, Su Yu immediately turned back.

In the dense forest under the dark night sky, Su Yu wasn’t entirely sure if he would be able to track down York. Even if he did, the outcome was uncertain. The most significant concern was the potential predicament if Su Yu became separated from the group.

Mulling over this possibility, Qin Jiagui called Su Yu back, and Su Yu agreed, deciding not to pursue York anymore.

As Su Yu walked back, the image of York’s venomous stare lingered in his mind. This image sent a chill down his spine.

"No, this is too risky. This guy must be taken care of," Su Yu suddenly stopped in front of everyone, rubbing the back of his head thoughtfully. But there wasn’t even the hint of an expression on his face. In the dim light, he looked rather sinister.

"If we don’t kill him, all of us will eventually fall prey to him," Su Yu’s voice was low, echoing ominously among the group in the darkness. His two eyes shone with a strange light, resembling a hungry wolf.

Whether it was for their safety or his, the threat York posed to them was massive. For self-preservation, it was either kill York or be killed by him - one by one.

Zhang Zhongmou exclaimed, "The problem is York isn’t stupid. He won’t just sit there waiting for us to kill him. How are we going to find him?"

Qin Jiagui, clutching his chest, took a light breath before speaking, "Yes, Su Yu just scared him away. I’m worried he’ll be even more cautious now... This guy...watched his wife die...watched her getting buried...all the while lurking quietly somewhere nearby. He’s truly frightening."

The realization that York had evolved into a third-level Black Iron Warrior just like Su Yu sent a chill down Qin Jiagui’s spine. He knew that he was, after all, just a first-level Black Iron Warrior. He was no match for York.

Touching the "Earth Spike Ring" on his right hand, Su Yu murmured, "What a pity... If I could have activated ’Earth Spike Assault’ earlier, York would have never been able to escape."

"So, since we can’t find him, are we just going to wait passively for him to come to us?" Zhao Shichang asked, his voice trembling with fear at the very prospect of this question.

Su Yu, clutching the back of his hair, and Qin Jiagui, stroking his chest, fell into deep thought along with the rest of the group.

All of a sudden, Lei Rui proposed, "Do you remember the couple once mentioned they lived nearby in a cave?"

Zhang Zhongmou scoffed, "Those two were just lying to us. Chief Lei, you still believe them?"

"Zhang Zhongmou," Lei Rui gave Zhang Zhongmou a glance, "If they don’t live nearby, where did they store those six bags of food they initially picked up? Remember, they came empty-handed the second time."

Zhang Zhongmou was taken aback, scratching his face as he replied, "Well... perhaps..."

Su Yu quickly caught on, looking at Lei Rui with a hint of a smile on his face before saying, "You’re probably right, Lei Rui. They might be living nearby. In that case, we can turn the tables on them. We’ll wait for daylight to break, then we’ll search the surroundings, and we might find something."

Qin Jiagui grunted in agreement, "Yes, York poses too big a threat to us. We can’t go on without eliminating this hidden danger. Any of us might end up dying at his hands."

Throughout their conversation, the sky gradually started to lighten, ushering in a new day.

Too much had happened over the course of this one night. As the surroundings slowly brightened, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. With the help of his girlfriend, Yuan Niping, Qin Jiagui rose to his feet. He gently pushed Yuan Niping away to stand independently, stretched his arms slowly, his body, still wearing the signs of severe injuries, had visibly healed. Rubbing his chest, contentment filled Qin Jiagui’s face. Given the pace of his recovery, he would be almost completely healed after another day.
