Chapter 201 – Big Machete! Executioner!

In the end, the stone card on Wei Xiao Bei’s neck let out a white glow.

Afterwards, the white glow had enveloped his body, decreasing the amount of pressure that Wei Xiao Bei was experiencing. This allowed him to slowly stand up again.

“Eh? The Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof?” Following this hesitant voice, the Border Patroller’s complexion darkened, but the pressure slowly disappeared as he spoke, allowing Wei Xiao Bei to relax.

At this moment, the light from the stone card disappeared, returning to its original appearance.

“You are a friend of the Ming Lun Envoy?”

The complexion of the Border Patroller did not turn well, but his voice became friendlier.

Wei Xiao Bei immediately assessed that the relationship between Bai Ta Hill and the Shing Wong Temple was not a good one, but the Shing Wong Temple did not dare offend Bai Ta Hill. The reason the local god was friendly was due to the difference in hierarchy.

The Shing Wong’s Border Patroller should be on the same level as a direct subordinate of the Shing Wong. He would not treat him as kindly, and not killing him on the spot was due to the stone card.

Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare completely depend on the stone card. He immediately nodded his head, but his entire body was tense and was prepared to move at anytime.

No matter the difference in strength or being in enemy territory, if the other party dared to continue, he would not sit and wait for death. Even if he died, he was determined to bring someone down with him.

The green clothed official was filled with pride and disdainfully said, “Enough. You are only an insignificant mortal. Trespassing on an important location in the Shing Wong Temple would normally be punished with soul peeling. Consider this as this god giving the Ming Lun Envoy face. I will spare you this time, get lost.” Then he waved his hand at Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei did not even have the chance to respond. His eyes blurred, and when he could see his surroundings, he noticed that he was already outside the county. He found himself in a deep and long ravine. There were a lot of standing stone there. On the side was an overgrown small hill with a few peach trees.

Peach Hill!

Wei Xiao Bei was slightly familiar with the ravine and the hill. When he was having tests of courage with his classmates in the past, they would come here most of the time.

The place was also not that far from the county.

Because there were wild peach trees growing on the hill, they had called it Peach Hill, including the deep ravine.

The place was south of the Bai Ta County. The scenery was not that beautiful, and it was considered to be a haunted place. In the past, it was said that the place was where the authorities cut off people’s heads.

It was the Bai Ta County’s execution grounds.

Even after the new government was created, this place had always been an execution ground.

In short, it was not a good place to be.

He never imagined that the Shing Wong’s Border Patroller would send him there.

However, this was perhaps the limit of his power.

When he looked at the human-sized stones around him, Wei Xiao Bei frowned.

There were dried bloodstains on the rocks that let out the stench of blood.

This was different compared to the real world.

In reality, the execution ground was not in the ravine but on a flat land at the side.

The criminal would kneel on the flat land, and with an order, the executioner would swing his blade or fire his gun. Afterwards, the family members would take away the corpse.

Even if there was bloodstain, it would only be at the flat lands.

It should be impossible for bloodstains to appear in the ravine.

After thinking for a while, Wei Xiao Bei’s expression became serious.

The atmosphere of this place gave him a sense of unease.

I need to leave this place.

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a moment and then tried to walk up the wall of the ravine. With his ability [Ground Rooting], he should be able to walk up easily.

However, before Wei Xiao Bei was able to take two steps, a strange sound echoed within the ravine.

This sound was like a blade cutting something. It was not that loud, but in a ravine, it was extremely scary.

If a normal person appeared here, they would probably be scared to near death, let alone being able to do anything else.

Wei Xiao Bei was that kind of timid person. He stomped the ground and jumped up on a boulder.

When he was at the peak, he looked towards the sound where the footsteps were coming from and could not help but open his mouth wide.

What he saw was a giant that exceeded 5 meters.

The giant did not wear anything but gray trousers with a simple design and a red bandana on its head. It did not have a lot of muscles and had a large belly. It held a large machete in its right hand. Its bearded face looked extremely malevolent, and everytime it moved, the fat on his body would ripple like waves.

The first image that came to Wei Xiao Bei’s mind was that of an executioner!

Other than its excessive height, it looked exactly like an executioner in ancient times.

Moreover, an executioner’s main job was to chop off heads.

The empty land inside the ravine was occupied by the executioner and more than 10 criminals that wore clothes from ancient times. Their appearance all looked different. The only thing similar about them was that there was a white banner erected from their napes.

There were words in red written on the white banner.

Some had robber, some had murderer, some had adulterer, and many other words were written.

In short, the words written were these people’s sins.

“Swish!”

The executioner swung the machete at one of the people who was claimed to have murdered in the middle of the street.

The machete was incredibly sharp. With a single chop, the head of the criminal flew without a single resistance, causing the neck to immediately spray out blood.

The movement of the executioner was fast. With only a bit of effort, he had chopped off the heads of the criminals.

The ground was stained with black blood as the corpse dropped on the ground and stopped moving.

At this time, the executioner inspected its surroundings. Wei Xiao Bei quickly lowered his body, hiding in a depression on the boulder.

Seeing that there was no movement in his surroundings, the executioner swung the large machete once and inserted it on the ground. Afterwards, it grabbed the wine bottle, hung on its waist, and took a swig from it.

Immediately, the intoxicating smell of alcohol pervaded the air.

Even Wei Xiao Bei could not help but twitch his nose at the smell.

As someone who needed to suppress his capacity for liquor, Wei Xiao Bei did not know much about alcohol brands and types, but he could feel the fragrance and mellowness of the liquor from the smell. Saliva had even come out from his mouth.

PU!

What Wei Xiao Bei never imagined was that the executioner did not even drink the wine and instead spat it all out.

The thick alcohol instantly spread everywhere, creating a mist of alcohol.

What is the executioner thinking?

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be puzzled. However, the next situation made him open his eyes wide.

When the alcohol mist had filled the air, the corpses within the mist began to sway and then stand up. Their two hands touched the ground, and when they found their heads, they would attach it back to their necks.

After shaking for a while, the people who could not be anymore dead became completely undamaged and once again kneeled down in front of the executioner.

The scars on their necks had disappeared without a single mark.

Death and rebirth?

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be interested at the alcohol in the executioner’s hands.

No matter what was said, the previous scene of death and rebirth had something to do with the alcohol.

Whoosh!

When the criminals once again kneeled down on the ground in a single row, the executioner rubbed its hands and picked up the large machete, once again chopping off their heads.

In truth, this scene was very strange.

The executioner would repeatedly chop heads while the corpses would repeatedly revive without trying to escape. They were like walking corpses as they kneeled down and waited to be executed again.

If it was possible, Wei Xiao Bei wanted to use his [Status Appraisal] to understand the situation.

However, he had a faint unease so he suppressed his desire to do so.

Wei Xiao Bei had directed this unease on the executioner.

The executioner was definitely not a simple existence. Just the strange scene of repetition was enough to tell him that it was nothing good.

Since he still had a lot of time, Wei Xiao Bei lied down on the depression as he practiced his control over electricity.

Time passed by bit by bit.

In the Dust World, the sky would forever be colored gray without the difference of night and day.

When Wei Xiao Bei was about to fall asleep from waiting, a tyrannical roar came from afar.

When he heard the roar, Wei Xiao Bei saw that the executioner picked up the machete and charged out the ravine. The criminals, whether headless or not, all followed behind. Even if there were rocks in their path, they would still run as if they were flying.

In just a short period of time, there was no one in the ravine anymore.

What happened?

Wei Xiao Bei did not think about staying anymore. He quietly got down the rock and followed the executioner from afar out of the ravine.

At this time, there were hundreds of stone statues standing on the ash-colored meadow afar. The scene looked quite majestic.

The heads of the stone statues looked like dogs with short horns. They also had wing on their backs, and their heights were about 2 meters.

Wei Xiao Bei felt that these things looked familiar as he tried to recall their identities in his mind.

“Kill!”

Without much words, the executioner charged forward with his large machete. Additionally, the criminals somehow acquired weapons. There were daggers, sledgehammers, swords, etc. Then they formed a semicircle while following behind the executioner.
