Chapter 120 Book 3 Brave or Reckless

The three veteran scouts of Xian Town—Huo, Yue, and Zhi—arrived at the outskirts of Zong Village just as the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the land. From their elevated position, they gazed down at the gruesome aftermath of a massacre.

More than two thousand soldiers had been slaughtered here. The stench of blood still hung thick in the air, and the ground was littered with dismembered corpses and shattered weapons. The carnage was unmistakable. Hulking figures, man-beasts with grotesque, muscular bodies, still prowled among the dead, feasting on flesh or sniffing the air for intruders. But one presence loomed over the rest—a towering brute, grotesquely mutated beyond recognition, stood amidst the devastation. Its hulking frame dwarfed the other beasts, its deformed, sinewy body covered in patches of armor-like growths and pulsing, red-veined flesh. This was Hao Gunlai, a nightmare made manifest.
