Chapter 449: A Sudden Death (3)Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sudden death brought about a wave of gloom within the capital inst.i.tute.
The next morning, the students could not withdraw themselves from the scarring incident. They all gathered together and started to discuss what had happened the day before.
The school of gold cultivators was temporarily under heavy protection. Compared to terminators, the quant.i.ty of gold cultivators was even more scarce. Additionally, a gold cultivator was also important to the defense of the kingdom. Many attack weapons and defense armours were all made by the hands of outstanding gold cultivators. Even sorcerers and other roles’ weapons need to be enhanced by gold cultivation in order for them to result in stronger battling abilities.
Ji Fengyan had already applied for leave a long time ago. She went to the rearing pen alone. After returning the items to the ancient dragon, she did not leave and instead told the dragon about everything that had happened the night before.
The senses of an ancient dragon was sharper than humans by 100 times or more. After hearing Ji Fengyan out, the ancient dragon waved its tail and said, “this place has many demons. I’m always puzzled by how you humans always like to seek your own deaths. Even if you could stall time by battling against the demon clan, it would still be best to completely end any interactions with them, yet you humans like to make things so difficult and place yourselves in danger.”
The ancient dragon did not understand human thoughts at all. When he had arrived at the capital inst.i.tute, he had already felt the presence of demons around the inst.i.tution.
“This is their choice. Did you notice anything abnormal last night?” Ji Fengyan asked.
The ancient dragon shook its huge head.
“No, there are too many demons here so their scent had become too confusing. Even if a different demon was to appear suddenly, I also cannot differentiate it. Unless that demon has a sufficiently high grade, otherwise they would all seem the same to me.”
Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes.
Things did not end this simply.
That afternoon, while everyone was still feeling uneasy, another death occurred.
This time, the person who died was another student from the school of gold cultivators. However, he did not die in the gold cultivation room and died in his own dormitory.
When people found him, his flesh and organs were already completely chewed off, just like the previous victim from the night before. There was only his skeletal remains left, but this time, his skeletons did not explode and was brought back for investigation by the people from the inst.i.tution. After washing off the bloodstains, there was still an eerie blood ill.u.s.tration on the ground and it was unable to be cleaned no matter how hard it was scrubbed.
The consecutive deaths had brought gloom to the entire capital inst.i.tute. The students could only stay cautious and uneasy.
The school of gold cultivators was immersed in fear. The majority of the students did not dare to step out of their rooms and requested from the inst.i.tution to provide them with all day protection.
Unfortunately…
Everything seemed useless.
For the next five days, there were continuously deaths announced from the school of gold cultivators and the mortality rate had reached seven people.
And all their method of death was exactly the same.
Even under the protection of the guards, they were still unable to escape from death. What’s worse was some was even eaten alive under the protection of two guards. Until the guards outside smelled the blood stench, then did they enter and realise that student that had entered the room a second ago had already died.
With all these going on…
The entire school of gold cultivators was in a chaotic mess.
