Chapter 158 - 158: He Also Has Healing Abilities
Ji Zan remained silent. He really didn’t want to engage in combat with these ordinary people, especially after understanding the situation.
Professor Feng had always advocated for peaceful solutions and hesitated to harm fellow humans. He held Xia Dong back and said, “Don’t act impulsively. Let me try reasoning with them. I’m older, they might not be as guarded against me.” He then went outside and shouted, “Folks, we’re just passing through and need a few days to rest! We have no intention of harming you. We value peace, so let’s both take a step back. Don’t set fire, and we’ll release some of our people as a sign of goodwill.”
The old man with white eyebrows glanced at Professor Feng and said, “Then release our people first!”
Zhang Xiaojuan, who had rarely spoken before, couldn’t help but whisper,
“What if we release them first, and they go back on their word?”
Fu Shinan replied, “Then we’ll demand the High Priest in exchange.”
Professor Feng considered it and found Fu Shinan’s suggestion reasonable. He immediately called out, ‘We’ll exchange one for one. If you give us the High Priest, we’ll trust you…”
Before Professor Feng could finish, the old man with white eyebrows coldly sneered, “Dare to ask for the High Priest? Burn them all!”
Their people then began to move, and the scent of burning charcoal seeped in through the windows.
Ji Zan’s expression darkened instantly. He had regarded them as humans, but these people had repeatedly challenged his limits. He pushed Professor Feng aside and walked out directly.
MO Cheng and Xia Dong followed suit, and Fu Shinan grabbed a wooden stick and joined them. Seeing this, Wei Xinyi and Shui Ling’er looked for suitable objects and followed behind Fu Shinan.
Seeing Ji Zan stepping out, the old man with white eyebrows took a step back and gestured to his people behind him, signaling an attack!
Ji Zan had lost his patience at this point and kicked one of them away.
Xia Dong also rushed out, grabbing whatever she could find to use as a weapon.
Since the courtyard was not very large, and there were many people, Xia Dong was hitting her targets accurately. After witnessing their mediocre combat skills, others grew bolder. After knocking down a few of them, Sun Han casually tested his ability and found that he could concentrate fire in his palms once more. Now he was eager to use it and directed a burst of flames towards their attackers!
The old man with white eyebrows was dumbfounded, looking at Sun Han, “Are you also the chosen one from our tribe? But how can there be two?”
“The chosen one, my foot! Go out and see for yourself, now there are humans with special abilities everywhere!” Sun Han cursed and continued to emit fire from his palms.
Meanwhile, MO Cheng released electricity. In no time, the members of the Changtian Tribe were in disarray, scrambling to flee.
Fu Shinan and the others quickly extinguished the fire and managed to capture a few who couldn’t escape.
The newly captured ones showed no fear, “You won’t be celebrating for long, our High Priest will come to rescue us! You’re doomed.”
Fu Shinan couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you believe in the High Priest so much? It seems like you hold him in high regard.”
The person who had just spoken replied immediately, “Because the High Priest has shown miracles! He is a servant of the gods, sent to protect us.” Fu Shinan sneered, “Are you saying his ‘miracles’ are the gusts of wind at his feet?”
“Of course not, ” the person retorted, “The High Priest can not only control the wind but also save lives. Once, the Holy Maiden was bitten by a venomous snake and on the brink of death. But the High Priest displayed his divine powers, and she was miraculously healed.”
Fu Shinan became intrigued, “How did he heal her?”
With an admiring expression, the person recalled, “The High Priest placed his hand on the Holy Maiden’s forehead, and a faint green light appeared. The Holy Maiden was revived! Isn’t that a miracle?”
Hearing this, Fu Shinan turned to look at Ji Zan, “Did you hear that? This High Priest also has healing abilities… But, do you think he will really come to rescue these people?”
Ji Zan squinted his eyes as if assessing something and then replied, “No.”
“In that case, are these people useless now?” Knowing that Ji Zan had precognitive abilities, Fu Shinan had full confidence in his words.
“Yes… and tonight, the zombies will come. But their numbers won’t be large, we can hold them off. Let’s rest for now and replenish our strength,” Ji Zan said, furrowing his brow.
Upon hearing that real zombies were coming, the others became quite nervous. However, when they heard that the number of zombies wouldn’t be large, they breathed a sigh of relief. The group quickly had a meal and then rested, conserving their energy. As for the captured individuals, they watched eagerly out the window, waiting for the High Priest…
