Chapter 2176: Where Does the Heart Go?
The heart disappeared into the hole.
Ning Shu’s heart beat wildly.
Gu Rui could kill without batting an eye. Sure enough, that tranquil and indifferent immortal-like temperament was a giant freaking lie.
“Where does the heart go?” Ning Shu asked suddenly.
Gu Rui’s body suddenly tensed, then he said in a low voice. “Shit.”
Ning Shu couldn’t help but wipe at her face.
Gu Rui stared at the stone doors as they slowly opened.
Ning Shu was still wrapped tightly around Gu Rui’s neck and her legs squeezed Gu Rui’s waist.
She must get out.
If she didn’t leave, she really would die.
Gu Rui was a little out of breath. He was obviously burdened by Ning Shu clinging to him.
“Roar!” A roar sounded, followed by a loud crash.
“The zombies have come out,” Ning Shu whispered. It really was a case of ‘if you didn’t court death, you wouldn’t have died.’
Gu Rui’s expression turned ugly.
The heart must have been eaten by a zombie.
He was deceived!
The ancestor’s codex deceived him.
A man in gorgeous clothes moved towards them like the wind. The clothes on his body were decayed and as he walked, they turned to dust.
He had a good figure with a v-shaped mermaid line, but his looks were not that great. He looked ferocious.
Wherever he walked, the grass underneath withered.
Ning Shu’s pupils shrank. This was a drought demon!
It was a few levels higher than the zombies.
As soon as a drought demon appeared, a great drought would occur and the country would experience a thousand miles of barren land.
As long as this demon appeared, there would be drought.
The drought demon moved very fast and in a flash, he appeared at the dead Cheng Mingzi’s side. He grabbed Cheng Mingzi’s body.
Fangs of half a finger’s length extended out of the drought demon’s mouth as he bit into Cheng Mingzi’s neck.
Although the heart had been removed, there was still blood in the corpse and the drought demon drank it up.
However, it seemed that he was not satisfied at all and he threw away Cheng Mingzi’s body like a discarded sack.
One by one, the rest of Gu Rui’s surviving subordinates had their blood drained. Everyone’s faces were full of horror.
The bodies that had been stripped of their blood became extremely shriveled.
Even after sucking the blood of several people in a row, the drought demon still didn’t seem to be satisfied. His sharp, bloodstained fangs were an extremely ugly sight.
The drought demon’s gaze swept across the people and monsters who were present and finally settled on Ning Shu and Gu Rui.
“Get down, I’ll help you as we go, but you’re too heavy. Neither of us can run away like this.” Under the drought demon’s gaze, Gu Rui’s blood ran cold.
Ning Shu didn’t believe even a single letter of what Gu Rui said.
If she really got off of Gu Rui, she would immediately be used as a human shield so he could escape.
Gu Rui had no moral compass and he’d already killed Mo Juechen and Cheng Mingzi.
If you weren’t careful when dealing with someone like him, you’d find a knife in your back.
Gu Rui shook the life-death bell and the monsters rushed towards the drought demon.
The drought demon grew sharp blackish-red nails and sent a single slash toward an incoming monster.
The monster was immediately cut in half like a piece of paper.
Ning Shu thought that the monster killed by the drought demon would be resurrected, but it turned into a pile of dust.
