Chapter 605 The Truth
The Gray Shelf was adjacent to the Bone Wasteland, but was not affected by the Beast Disaster. The Southern United City was still strong at that time, able to resist the invasion of the Southern Hive Tribe. Although the people there could not be said to live in a paradise, they were able to live and work in peace.

Until something unexpected happened.

Thousands of miles of villages were massacred in one day.

The Southern Hive Tribe walked out of the Royal Valley and quickly occupied the Gray Shelf. People rumored that these man-eating monsters were the cause of this tragedy.

Chad, who had investigated personally, knew that this was only a rumor: those purple bee people, although not as gentle as their western kin, had never killed so unrestrained and aimlessly. They simply spread freely into a clearing - when the Southern Hive Clan reached the Gray Shelf, it was already uninhabited.

The culprit.

They are those skeletons wearing human skins!
It was the first time that Chad knew that there were still so many skeletons active after the fall of the Second Empire; he didn't know that they had turned into monsters that skinned people alive.

It was also there that he met the 'man' who taught him martial arts.

However, when Chad thought he had escaped from the nightmare of purgatory and finally returned to the world, in order to fulfill the promise he made to his friend many years ago, he found a way to cure his disease and hoped to go north to help him...

He did meet up with the other party again.

It's just the "skin" with each other.

And what was installed underneath was an ancient and perverted steel monster.

Such a horror,
How can I describe it in words?
No wonder the Cult of Embers worships him so much and regards him as the First Flame... because this is a flesh and blood machine, isn't that exactly what they want it to be?

——Narco.

Add to that the human-skin and -skeletal men that have grown up in the dark sky...how much more tragedy of blood and fire will they bring to this already devastated land?
Fear, sadness, anger...all the emotions that had been pent up in his heart burst out in an instant. Chad forgot everything and stared at the 'bone man' wearing Ji Hai's skin.

To be honest, the other party's handling was much more sophisticated than that of ordinary human skin and bone bandits, and there were almost no flaws... but such cases did exist among those bone people, and they were almost all high-level ones.

Because of their deceptive nature, Chad himself was almost deceived and turned into a bag of flesh and blood like a set of clothes... So this kind of bone people are the most dangerous. If they were mixed in human society, they would be impossible to distinguish.

However, facing his angry eyes, the young man in a black robe, who had just taken off his hood and iron mask, was stunned for a moment, as if he had no idea what he was talking about.

"Chad..." The young man tilted his head and tried to speak.

"boom!"

A strong wind blew over.

Seeing that the other party was still playing dumb, Chad could no longer suppress his anger. He kicked his legs hard, and his whole body cast an arc shadow in the darkness.

Throw a punch.

He no longer thought about retreating or escaping. Even though he knew he was no match for his opponent, he still attacked.

I won't avoid death!

"Hey! Wait..." Before he could finish his words, the fist that was powerful enough to break gold and iron had already hit him. Seeing that things were not going well, the young man quickly lifted up his black robe and threw it towards the other party.

The exquisite ember robe fell into pieces the moment it came into contact with the fist wind.

It is a ritual tool.

There is no defensive power.

However, just as Chad was moving forward, two huge pink and white figures suddenly jumped out from the sky and rushed towards him. Bang!
The huge membrane wings spread out and fluttered in the wind, while the sharp teeth under the two pig noses bit the straps on the Chad Technology Hunter's uniform.

The attack of the two land bats instantly buffered Chad's force and wrapped him up completely.

But his starting speed was amazing after all, and even due to inertia he had already thrown a punch, and as it came into contact with the flesh, one could feel that it had hit the body solidly.

Immediately, the tech hunter lost his balance and was knocked to the ground by two land bats that were half a person's height.

Just as Chad was about to break free, he heard an angry curse: "...Damn it, you kid, look carefully!"

The young man was seen getting up from the ground, covering his right eye, with a twitching land bat lying next to him.

Under the black robe of the priest, he has been holding three tamed land bats close to his body. After the guidance and training of the Red King, they can use their muscles to provide strength and help with defense at critical moments.

"Look at my eyes!" The young man withdrew his hand and pointed at his eye sockets. "Is this what a skeleton looks like?"

Chad was stunned. After being hit by his punch, the other party still had a bruised face, even though he had buffered it twice...bruised face?
Are they so real?

"What's going on?" The Tech Hunter panicked for a moment, and the driven land bat directly pressed to the ground, "So you are..."

He realized that there was a huge misunderstanding.

"I am Ji Hai! Ji Hai Bai Mei!" The young patriarch who serves as the mascot of the Embers Cult said angrily, "I would like to ask you what is going on. It's fine if you want to find the Red King, but I thought you poisoned the Beaked Orangutan to protect yourself out of distrust... but why did you use poison gas to incite our newly domesticated Beaked Orangutans to riot!"

He pointed to the metal can in the corner, and Chad could see that his hands were indeed corroded, bloody and bruised, with some bones going through them...human bones.

"Long time no see, is this the gift you brought... cough cough cough..." Before he could finish his words, Ji Hai started coughing violently, and he had taken off his breathing filter mask - to be honest, the smell was really bad.

Thinking of the mechanical sound of the mask... Could this be one of the reasons for the other party's misunderstanding? Damn it, no matter what those priests say, I will never be their guinea pig again...

"Wait..." After hearing what he said, Chad suddenly sat up from the ground, but his arms were still held down by the well-trained land bats. "You said the orangutans were rioting?"

"Yeah," Ji Hai looked at him coldly, "Don't say you don't know."

"No! I didn't use poison gas on them." Chad's pupils suddenly dilated, "And this targeted drug is used to kill [alien creatures], it doesn't have the effect of inciting them!"

Ji Hai was stunned.

This corresponds exactly to his doubts.

He was also wondering why the effect was different from what the Red King told him.

And if you think about it carefully.

Although the smells of the two poisonous gases are similar, humans are not dogs after all, and having never smelled them before, there is no way to accurately distinguish them.

It was night again.

If Ji Hai remembered correctly, the poisonous gas he saw on the grassland was light green.

But the one inside the tower is yellow.

He had previously thought it was a matter of concentration, but now that Chad had mentioned it, he had noticed the subtle difference. Perhaps... it was not the case at all.
