In an instant, Ma Jiu's mournful screams echoed in the clearing. The three groups who were heading towards the Temple of Jing gasped and cried when they saw as Ma Jiu's body fell on the ground with her heart beating in the hands of the thing which was standing in front of them with a sneer on its animal-like face. Even though the figure in front of them was nothing but an entity which was made of bones and rotten flesh, they were petrified the size of it.
Bright red blood splashed on the ground which was illuminated by the torch light. They all looked at Ma Jiu who stopped moving and then at the figure which was standing in front of them, the wendigo did not stop after chomping down on the heart of Ma Jiu, he started to rip her bit by bit, one limb after another lip was ripped from Ma Jiu's corpse and then eaten up, the scary sounds of bones cracking and being munched on echoed in the silent forest.
Su Qingzhao looked at the skeleton thing which was in front of him and muttered, " Luo Shan?"
He was still standing a bit far away from the thing but Zou Shen and Madam Tong who were standing the closest got the full brunt of the incident which took place. Their faces and clothes were dyed with fresh blood and they were so stunned that they could not even move from their spots, if not for Master Wang who still had some sort of senses left in his body pulling them away from the thing which was still nibbling on the body parts of Ma Jiu, they would have stayed where they were.
" Ma Jiu!" Yang Yiling screamed in pain and shock, she was still in a daze as she looked at her hand and then at Ma Jiu whose body was ripped apart. She still could not wrap her head around the fact that the woman who was alive and smiling just a day ago was now staring at her with those dead eyes which were full of terror and shock.
This scene was enough to shock anyone.
Madam Tong was so shocked that she ended up wetting her pants and slumped on the floor while Zou Shen was still better. Though he was scared to the point that he could not even stand straight, he still managed to keep firm control of his bladder as he looked at the thing which was standing in front of them and then turned to look behind him where Su Qingzhao was staring at him with shock in their eyes.
He immediately turned on his heels and then rushed towards Su Qingzhao and Qin Lu behind them Su Qian who came running looked at the sight and her eyes widened as she screamed, " What are you waiting for? Run! You idiots!"
Only then did they all snap out of their daze and then turned around to run out of the forest but they were still a step bit late. The thing was done eating Ma Jiu whose body parts which it did not like eating was left behind.
Behind them they could hear the thing screaming, Yang Yiling who was running right beside Madam Tong saw how Huo Lan who was only a step behind them pull her back.
Huo Lan had a talisman but she was still worried that the thing would reach to grab her which was why her mind raced faster than anyone. Seeing that the thing was getting close to them, she knew that they will not be able to dodge it which was why she did not even think twice before she pulled Madam Tong who was too old to run and then rushed past her. \
" Madam Tong!" Master Wang cried, he wanted to run behind and catch Madam Tong but he was a step too late.
Madam Tong who was pushed behind was stunned as she was caught off guard. She looked at the young girl who had pushed her behind and then turned to look at the thing behind her, when she saw that it was an inch away from her, she immediately scrambled on her feet but couldn't run away as the thing moved its hand again.
Those bony fingers were as long and sharp that they could even slice a boulder in pieces within seconds thus Madam Tong did not even have a chance to survive! One sweep and all the flesh on her back sliced off, which showed her white spine clearly.
Her well-maintained face twisted when she realised that she would not be able to escape and the pain shot through her body. Her eyes were filled with horror and despair as she looked at her brother-in-law and screamed, " Help me! Help me! Brother !"
Master Wang wanted to save his sister-in-law but before he could even take a step closer to Madam Tong, he saw the thing move his hand again and then a second later, Madam Tong's spine was dangling from his spine.
Instantly, Madam Tong's screams filled the forest as she crumpled on the ground with a pool of blood surrounding her.
There was only the sound of bones getting munched on which was followed by the sound of Madam Tong screaming as she yelled at the top of her lungs as her body was torn into pieces.
Su Qingzhao looked at the thing which was still busy eating and caught Master Wang who was stunned on the spot and then dragged him away with him. At least with Ma Jiu the thing ended her in one sweep move but with Madam Tong, it was taking it sweet time to finish her eating and the sight was so scary that they wanted to cry. The screams of Madam Tong echoed in their ears and they all felt like they were going to die any second now but they did not dare to stay put even if their legs had turned so soft that they could not even stand up straight!
