Chapter 338: Interrogation?
The followers of the Skull god were frozen in place upon seeing Lin Wu and did not know what to make of this. They could tell that what was in front of them was a beast but this was the first time they were seeing a beast talk.
“Na-Nascent Soul! It’s a Nascent Soul realm beast!” The priest spoke.
Unlike the priest Lin Wu had seen before, this one was not at the Nascent Soul realm. It was evident that the last one had a greater status than this one. Looking at the team, Lin Wu counted five men and three women.
‘This team is smaller… I guess the last one was out for a different reason.’ Lin Wu thought.
The followers of the Skull god were frozen with fear as Lin Wu gazed at them.
~gulp~
The Priest suddenly found courage out of nothing and pulled out a sword from his spatial storage ring. The sword started to let out dark smoke, similar to the man Lin Wu had killed before.
Lin Wu was interested in that sword before but it was a strange weapon. When the man who wielded died, the sword melted into a puddle of black liquid before seeping into the ground.
“KILL! For the Skull God! If we have him with us, why should we fear this beast!” The Priest proclaimed.
“KILL!” The other followers also gained courage and shouted in unison.
They all withdrew their weapons and lunged at Lin Wu. But then…
~splat~
Lin Wu casually pressed upon one of the followers and smashed him into a mush. Blood and gore splattered on his companions as they all froze up mid-run.
“Huh? No more bravado?” Lin Wu taunted.
~splat~
Lin Wu crushed another follower this time a woman into mush.
“Gotta keep it equal or people will say I’m sexist…” Lin Wu said with a nod.
The followers of the Skull god were both scared and confused by Lin Wu’s words as they did not know what they meant. Lin Wu had unknowingly switched to a different language than the one that they spoke.
“Oop! I forgot they don’t speak English here…” Lin Wu said.
The followers kept on watching in terror, but this was just the start.
~Piiiii~
A loud screech of a bird could be heard echoing through the sky.
~Whoosh~
The clouds were suddenly blown away as the figure of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle became visible. She originally wanted to see what Lin Wu would be doing but seeing that he was just talking around she decided to come herself.
~Shing~
~shing~
“ARGH!”
“NO!!”
The sharp winds caused by the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle cut through the robes of a couple of followers that were standing too close to her landing location. The ones who were hit by the sharp winds were now profusely bleeding and could not help but scream in pain.
~thud~
After landing, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle looked at Lin Wu with a questioning gaze.
“What are you doing?” She asked.
“Ah, I was just about to ask them if they know anything about the temples.” Lin Wu said.
To the remaining followers of the Skull god, only screeches could be heard being exchanged between the two beasts. But the arrival of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle also made them fearful, much more than the appearance of Lin Wu.
“RUN! IT’S THAT EAGLE BEAST!” The priest shouted upon seeing the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.
“Oh? Looks like someone’s popular.” Lin Wu said upon hearing that the followers of the skull god recognize the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.
“Humph!” the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle simply huffed out flames through her nostrils in response.
“Alright, alright! I’ll get to the interrogation.” Lin Wu said as he pulled out the rest of his body from the ground.
~Rumble~
The ground trembled again and the Followers of the skull god saw an Emerald Green crystal wall surrounding them. Lin Wu had been surrounding them with his body from the start!
~thud~
“OUCH!” One of the women followers of the Skull God even ended up hitting her head against Lin Wu’s body when she was running. Since it had appeared so abruptly she could not stop in time and hit it at full force.
“Well then… let’s get to talking shall we.” Lin Wu said with a grin.
His sharp teeth looked terrifying to the followers and they no longer dared to move.
“Who are you people exactly?” Lin Wu questioned.
Dead silence was spread in the area as no one dared to speak.
~shua~
“AHHHHHHHH!!! IT BURNNNNNS!!!” A fire ball suddenly hit one of the men and made him into a human torch.
Lin Wu turned to look at the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle who rolled her eyes at him. He let out a chuckle before staring at the followers of the Skull god again.
“See? If you don’t speak all of you will die~” Lin Wu said.
~gulp~
“Now then… answer my question.” Lin Wu spoke again.
“We-we… we’re the followers of the great Skull god.” The priest was the one who answered.
“And… who’s that?” Lin Wu asked.
“The great Skull god is the great god of darkness and has ruled over the Dread Coil Marsh for eternity!” The Priest said with enthusiasm.
“Pff~ what eternity?!” Lin Wu couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s this charlatan Skull god been telling you? The Dread Coil Marsh has not even existed for ten thousand years and you say eternity.”
“You dare humiliate the Skull god?!” the Priest said in a fit of anger but then realized his mistake.
~splat~
“Hmm? You said something?” Lin Wu said as a blade of Wind dismembered the arm of the priest.
The priest did not even dare scream and simply gritted his teeth. He took out a pill from his spatial storage ring and quickly ate it.
“Don’t! Attack! I’ll speak!” The Priest pleaded.
“Go ahead then. Tell me what does this Skull God look like and where is he?” Lin Wu questioned.
