Chapter 96: Chapter 23 Tribal Shock_4
Xuan Yue had never heard Ah Dai talk about his background before, and curiously asked, "Ah Dai, I’ve never asked you, what did your parents do? Where is your hometown?"
Ah Dai glanced at her and said lightly, "I don’t have parents. Nor do I have a home." Thinking of Owen, Ah Dai felt a pang of pain in his heart, filled with affectionate longing for Owen and Goris.
Yan Shi patted Ah Dai on the shoulder, saying, "Brother, you are also an orphan! Well, we’re at my house now. Let’s go in. Today, my wife is going to cook us a great meal. You should know, her cooking skills are fantastic!" This was the second time Yan Shi praised his wife’s culinary skills to Ah Dai, and his face was filled with happiness, clearly showing his deep affection for his wife.
Upon hearing Yan Shi’s words, Ah Dai noticed that they had arrived at a huge stone house. The stone house was in the very center of the tribe, covering a few hundred square meters with open ground all around. The soldiers who had been with Yan Shi had already disappeared, probably having gone home. Only Ah Dai, Xuan Yue, and Moon Scar remained.
Yan Shi’s face was filled with excitement as he shouted out at the closed front door, "Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun, we have guests. Open the door. Open the door!"
The door seemed to be bolted from the inside. Yan Shi had been calling out for a while without any response. Yan Shi looked a bit dumbfounded and muttered, "Where did Xiao Yun go? The door is usually left open!" He grabbed a villager passing by and asked, "Uncle Kru, have you seen Xiao Yun today? Why is our door locked, did she go out?"
The old man that Yan Shi caught shook his head, saying, "I haven’t seen Xiao Yun since you left early this morning, she should be at home. Yeah, why is your door locked today? Xiao Yun rarely leaves the house, why don’t you knock again, maybe she’s asleep."
Yan Shi shook his head, "That can’t be. I told her this morning that I would come back for lunch, Xiao Yun would definitely wait for me." Yan Shi’s face showed a hint of anxiety. He walked up to the front door, hesitated a bit, then extended his large fan-like hand to press against the door, and his body shone with yellow light. With a light click, the bolt inside had been broken.
Yan Shi opened the front door and stepped inside, with Ah Dai at his side. As soon as they entered, a strong smell of blood hit them. Yan Shi’s face changed drastically and he quickly moved further into the room.
"No––––" A heart-rending howl came from inside the room, making the entire stone house tremble. Ah Dai was taken aback and quickly followed Yan Shi and Moon Scar inside. What they saw left them dumbstruck. On the big bed in the bedroom was a nude young woman. Her brown hair was tangled messily, and her once pretty face was filled with resentment and unwillingness. Her eyes were wide open, the lifeless gray eyeballs staring at the ceiling. Both her hands clutched into fists, the white bedsheets were stained red with blood, and traces of fresh blood were still seeping from her lower body. She had obviously been raped and killed. Her pale skin had a slight bluish tinge, indicating that she had been dead for a while.
Yan Shi held the young woman in his arms, looking completely stunned. Tears flowed unceasingly from the eyes of this sturdy man, his facial muscles twitched continuously.
Xuan Yue, Yue Ji and others also entered the room, screamed in shock at the sight before them. Xuan Yue rushed into Ah Dai’s arms, tremblingly whispering, "What, what happened? It’s so frightening!"
Ah Dai asked Yan Shi, "Brother Yan Shi, what, what happened?"
Yan Shi did not respond. He stood up holding the woman’s body, and wrapped her in his own cape. Step by step, he moved towards the door, and everyone made way for him as they watched him walk out.
As soon as Yan Shi stepped out of the door, he let out a roaring shout that pierced through the sky, "Ahhhh–––" As his voice rapidly increased, Yan Shi’s body started to change. His robust muscles suddenly bulged and burst through his upper body clothing. His brown eyes turned blood-red, and waves of dangerous aura gradually seeped out from his body, his momentum skyrocketing.
Moon Scar lost his voice in fear, "Ah! He’s Berserk. He is actually a Berserker."
Yan Shi’s outcry echoed through the entire village, and nearby villagers all ran over. In a while, Yan Shi’s house was surrounded by a crowd.
"Young Clan Leader, what’s wrong? What happened?"
"Ah! What happened to Sister Yun Er? Why is there blood? What has happened?"
"Young Clan Leader, what’s this about..."
A chilling voice seeped out from Yan Shi’s clenched teeth, intimidating everyone, "Tell me, who, who killed my Yun Er, who, tell me, who–––?"
Everyone in the Pu Yan tribe were stunned. Yan Shi’s wife was famed for her beauty and kindness. Her abrupt death was something none of them could accept. Yan Shi was yelling out in pain, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not express the pain in his heart.
A middle aged man ran over. He was similar in stature to Yan Shi. He looked at the body in Yan Shi’s arms and asked in shock, "Brother Yan Shi, how could your wife become like this?"
The aura surrounding Yan Shi continued to escalate, repeating those words, "Who, who killed my Yun Er."
Ah Dai walked over to Yan Shi, trying to comfort him, "Big bro Yan Shi, calm down, let’s try to figure out what happened."
Yan Shi shrugged his arms, an intense force pushing Ah Dai back a few meters. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire, "Calm down, how can I be calm. The person I love most is dead, how can I be calm."
