Strangle.
All the blood in his body had been sucked dry by the Blood-Sucking Bees. His corpse lay on the ground, dried up like a withered corpse.
This was the first time Gong Hao had seen someone die with his own eyes.
Be it the world in the past or the world in the present.
And he died in such a miserable way.
He wanted to vomit, and a strong feeling of nausea rose from the depths of his heart.
However, he could only stand there and watch. He endured the disgust and acted as if nothing had happened.
Bile, who was lying on the ground, widened his eyes. Even before he died, he could not figure out why the blood-sucking bees would attack him.
Andrew's face was also a little gloomy.
He looked at the corpse in the iron cage, then picked up the bottle of Insect Repellent Water and sniffed it a few times.
" There's something wrong with this bottle of medicine," Andrew said with a frown." It seems that someone has mixed it with water and reduced its efficacy."”
"Bill got the potion from Sake.”Gong Hao glanced at Sake, who was standing not far away.
Since Andrew was here, it was impossible for the two head servants not to come.
"Don't talk nonsense, Glaer!" Zac shouted angrily. Why would I give him problematic medicine? I think you're the one who killed Bill. Don't forget that you and him were the only ones here when the accident happened.”
"Zac, I didn't say that you added water to the medicine. I only said that Bile took the potion from you, right? All the resources are under your and Caesar's care. No one else has the right to keep or touch these things. Do you think Bill will watch me add water to his potion after he brings it over?”
" This..." Zac moved his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He looked at the corpse in the cage, and the fear in his heart increased.
"Tell me, Zac, what's going on?" Andrew asked.”
"Lord…Lord Andrew." Zac lowered his head guiltily.”
"Tell me the truth." Andrew's voice became more and more stern.
"Sir, I really didn't do it on purpose!”Sake shouted.
Gong Hao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. After all, he was still young. Faced with a situation where someone died, Zac had not learned how to withstand the interrogation of adults under such psychological pressure.
The matter was actually very simple. Zac accidentally spilled the Insect Repellent Water and lost half a bottle of potion. Since the castle was very strict with the use and supervision of the potion, Sac did not want to ruin his image in Andrew's mind, so he took the initiative to add some water to the potion. In his opinion, this was not too much trouble. The diluted Insect Repellent Water still had the effect of attracting insects. He had tried this before, but the effect was just a little weaker. However, he did not expect it to cause such serious consequences.
The irresponsible nature of a young man was revealed at this moment. Using one mistake to cover up another mistake, resulting in an even bigger mistake. This was a situation that almost every young man would experience as he grew up.
But the problem was…this was Purgatory Island.
This was not a place where mistakes were allowed.
Andrew looked at Thacker as if he was a dead man."Sake, you disappoint me."
Sake was trembling in fear.
"From today onwards, you will no longer be the head servant," Andrew said coldly. At the end of this month, I'll take you away from here and go to a new place to do your work.”
"Yes…Yes, sir, I understand.”Sake nodded helplessly.
Gong Hao closed his eyes.
He knew that he would never see Sake again.
Even though Zac had tried to frame him, it was just a child who was flustered after finding out that he had caused trouble and was trying to shirk responsibility. This kind of behavior might deserve a good spanking, but it definitely shouldn't mean that he would disappear forever.
"Shuiglaire." Andrew's cold voice sounded again.
"Sir." Gong Hao retracted his thoughts.
"From today onwards, you will take over Sake's position as the head servant. Caesar is mainly responsible for the servants 'delivery, personnel arrangement, and management. You are mainly responsible for checking the servants' work progress and making a summary of their attitude. I know that you often help others and your work performance has always been excellent. I think this position is very suitable for you.”
Gong Hao was slightly stunned.
He wasn't surprised that he was made the head servant. In fact, there was not much difference between a head servant and a servant. This could be seen from Sake's experience. They were all lowly servants, just the head of the servants.
However, he was responsible for checking the progress of the servants 'work... which meant that from today onwards, if anyone's work performance was not good, he would have to record it and report it to Andrew?
In other words, the fate of the future young servants would be in his hands?
Gong Hao quickly lowered his head and said,"Yes, Lord Andrew. I will do my job well."”
"Very good." Andrew nodded in satisfaction." Caesar, there's one person missing in the 42nd area. You're in charge of making arrangements. See who can come and take charge of this place." Someone had to be able to take over before the arrival of the new arrivals next month.”
"Sir, leave area 42 to me.”
"You?" " You're already doing a lot of things," Andrew said in surprise.”
"Believe me, my lord, I can do it.”
Andrew nodded in appreciation." Alright, I'll leave it to you." Oh, right, I heard that you've cultivated the Blood Orchid. This is a very impressive thing. From next month onwards, you will no longer be in charge of Area 13. Other than your duties as the head servant, you can go to other areas to decide your own work arrangements. I hope you can make more contributions like how you cultivated the Blood Orchids. I'll ask the Freedom to bring another newcomer to take over your work in Area 13.”
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
"You should thank yourself for your hard work. Cesar, go get another bottle of Insect Repellent Water and drag that kid's body out for me."”Andrew pointed at the corpse.
"Yes." Caesar immediately went to get the potion.
Gong Hao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He said to Andrew,"Sir, I have a very good relationship with Bi Lei. His death saddens me. Please allow me to bury Bile's body.”
" No," Andrew immediately shook his head." You don't have to worry about this." I will personally settle the matter of his burial.”
Gong Hao's heart pounded violently."Alright, my lord. Then, can I accompany Bi Lei on his last journey?”
Andrew looked at Gong Hao strangely and thought for a moment."Sure, drag the corpse out first, then you carry him and follow me.”
———————————————
The night was cold and desolate.
As they walked on the small path in the wilderness, other than the rustling of the fallen leaves, they could not hear any other movements.
The night on Purgatory Island was always dark. The thick fog blocked the moonlight from the sky. It was pitch-black all around.
Under the effect of the barrier, the light from the magic lamp did not escape at all. As soon as he stepped out of the castle, he immediately fell into darkness.
A small light rose from his palm. It was the faint light emitted by the fluorescent worm. This bit of light wouldn't spread too far to be noticed, but it could already help Gong Hao vaguely see the path under his feet.
Even so, Gong Hao had fallen countless times.
If he hadn't cultivated battle energy, the sharp blades of grass in the forest might have already cut him black and blue.
But there was an advantage to such a dark night-it made his movements safer.
Gong Hao didn't know why he was so persistent.
In fact, he had already guessed what kind of terrifying reality was happening on this island, but perhaps out of his desire for survival, he hoped that he was wrong.
However, no matter whether it was right or wrong, there must be an eye-witness experience to confirm the result.
For this reason, he was willing to take a big risk and sneak out to investigate.
During the day, he carried the corpse and followed Andrew.
The direction was east.
There was a valley in the east that was forbidden. Servants were also not allowed to enter and exit.
After following Andrew to the valley, there were two puppet warriors guarding it. Andrew asked him to put the body down and then asked him to go back.
The road was not easy to walk. There were a few forks on the road leading to the valley. During the day, Gong Hao deliberately went the wrong way once, but Andrew scolded him."Do you want to die? Watch the road and follow me, you idiot!”
Gong Hao immediately understood that all the forks were traps.
"Left."
"Right."
"Yes."
"Left."
There were as many forks as there were hairs on an ox. It seemed that the empire had spent a lot of effort to set up this place. However, Andrew did not expect Gong Hao to remember the terrain after just one trip.
When he reached the 14th fork, Gong Hao stopped.
He remembered very clearly that even if he was walking on the right path, there would still be traps.
It was a sound trap.
Once they stepped on the road, the mechanism would sound an alarm if the weight was 70 pounds higher. The alarm wasn't loud, so it wouldn't be a problem during the day. However, at night, when it was quiet, the sound told the guards that someone had sneaked into the valley at night.
This was an unavoidable trap. Anyone who walked up to it would sound an alarm. It was simple but effective.
As long as they passed through this fork, they would be able to enter the valley.
Gong Hao focused and calmed himself down. He began to try to circulate all the qi in his body to his feet.
Lancelot had taught him how to use his Combat Aura to strengthen his arm. Although this was only one of the countless ways to use Combat Aura, many things were the same. For example, if you learned how to cook, you might only have practiced cutting ginger, but as long as you could cut ginger as thin as a strand of hair, you wouldn't have much of a problem cutting other things.
Since he could use Dou Qi on his arms, he could naturally use it on his feet. Gong Hao had long mastered this.
The only problem was that this time, he wasn't trying to increase his offensive and defensive abilities through the release of battle energy. Instead, he was trying to reduce the weight of his body as much as possible.
Different needs had different ways of using it. Gong Hao carefully experienced it.
That's right, the outward release of warrior power was actually to concentrate the warrior power on the external limbs. It was a manifestation of the concentration of power. If he simply applied this method to his feet, he would not lose weight, but gain weight.
'It should be reserved,' Gong Hao thought.
Releasing and retracting Combat Aura was the most basic way for a warrior to use their own strength. Although Lancelot had never taught him the latter, he was right about one thing.
Gong Hao quickly understood the profundity of this application. In that case, could he reverse the process of releasing Dou Qi?
He focused his mind and calmed his breath. He tried his best to concentrate his strength between his chest and legs. His warrior power circulated in his body, trying to move his body upward, making his entire body have a wonderful floating feeling.
He knew that he had succeeded.
Without hesitation, Gong Hao quickly rushed towards the fork like a gust of wind. As expected, the sound trap was not triggered. Gong Hao successfully reached the entrance of the valley.
Even Gong Hao was a little surprised by how smooth it was. However, after thinking about it, he immediately understood.
The reason why it was so difficult for him to learn how to release Dou Qi was because he had just started learning and did not know how to control the flow of Dou Qi in his body. Secondly, what others taught him would never be as profound as his own comprehension.
The control method of the inner warrior power was actually no different from that of the outer warrior power. It was just that the method of using it was completely opposite. Since he was comprehending it himself, the consequences would either be a waste of effort or he would succeed in one try.
Moreover, once Gong Hao understood how to restrain his Dou Qi, his proficiency in using it was even higher than the degree of releasing his Dou Qi.
This was because this was something that he had comprehended by himself. It was something that he had truly comprehended with his body and mind.
This discovery surprised Gong Hao.
Although the path of a warrior was still long, he believed that he could walk out of a bright world without the guidance of a master after this experience. If everyone in the world needed a Master to achieve something, then the world would not be able to progress.
A true expert would always go further on the foundation of their predecessors…
The two puppet warriors at the entrance of the valley were as loyal as ever.
Touching the badge on his chest, Gong Haowei gritted his teeth and walked in without hesitation.
