Chapter 552: Osmanthus Cake with a Taste of the Abyss?

While the village head was teasing the two young girls, Xu Shuo was intently watching the villagers who were digging the pit.

He had an inexplicable feeling.

They shouldn't unearth anything normal from this place.

So, Xu Shuo handed the hoe to the village head.

And at the moment when the servant dug up something, a smear of black shot out from the ground with incredible speed, climbing up the hoe and into the villager's body.

That was the reason for the sudden scream.

Xu Shuo was still some distance away, and although he reacted quickly, he wasn't faster than the contamination.

The villager's life force rapidly faded, tainted with a strange and nauseating aura, his boiling blood flowed from an opening in his neck into the ground – as if nourishing something in the soil, in an uncontrollable frenzy.
