Chapter 638 - 636: Borrowing Lives
"Senior Xiao just said, the people outside the stone temple will tell us how to leave..."
"But look, there’s no one here, right?"
Tie Xiong replied with a frown.
Yang Qingshu heard this and couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
After that, he looked around, then stroked his chin, full of confusion, "Yeah, there’s no one here!"
"But how could Senior Xiao lie to me?"
While the two of them were puzzled, Tongtai walked straight to Diego’s side.
"The person Senior Xiao mentioned should be him, right?"
Tongtai placed his right hand on Diego’s shoulder and spoke to the two.
"How is this possible?"
Tie Xiong and Yang Qingshu’s gazes both gathered on Diego, then shook their heads simultaneously.
This Diego is just like them; he came here from the outside.
And Diego was caught by the villagers of Stone Temple Village; if they hadn’t arrived in time, Diego would probably be dead by now.
"Mr. Tie, Mr. Yang, what happened?"
Seeing Tie Xiong and the others surrounding Diego and starting a discussion, Marco and Kaine showed confused expressions.
Moreover, the three were communicating in Dragon Country’s language, which made Marco and the others even more puzzled.
"The situation is like this..."
Yang Qingshu translated the previous words left by Xiao Yan to Marco and the others.
"The way to leave here, the person outside the stone temple knows?"
After listening, Marco also turned his gaze to Diego, frowning, as if pondering something.
"I do feel this Diego is a bit suspicious!"
Kaine suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"Why?"
Marco asked in confusion.
"Because Fiona is dead!"
Kaine replied nonchalantly.
This statement immediately illuminated the path for everyone, who was lost in confusion.
"Yes, Fiona is dead!"
Yang Qingshu muttered to himself, immediately making his eyes sharper and coldly said, "Tongtai, grab him!"
"No problem!"
Tongtai nodded lightly, used a bit of force with his right hand, and lifted Diego directly.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you crazy?"
Diego looked at Tongtai with a confused expression.
Despite his continuous struggle, Tongtai’s right hand gripped his shoulder like iron clamps.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free.
Quickly, Tongtai carried Diego to face everyone.
"Mr. Yang, what do you mean by this?"
Diego stared angrily, loudly questioning Yang Qingshu.
"Pretend! Still pretending with me!"
Yang Qingshu heard this and coldly laughed repeatedly.
"Mr. Yang, I don’t understand what you mean!"
"What did you encounter inside the stone temple? Are you crazy?"
Diego frowned and shouted loudly.
"Stop pretending; we’ve already seen through you!"
Marco sneered and said, "Haven’t you noticed we’re missing someone?"
Upon hearing these words, Diego froze immediately.
Then, his gaze scanned everyone one by one, and he was dumbfounded.
Including Tongtai, there were only eight people in front of him now.
This means five people were completely left in the stone temple.
Among these five people was his nominal daughter—Fiona!
"Who exactly are you?"
Marco asked.
"I...I’m Diego!"
Diego still wanted to argue.
But as soon as he said these words, everyone laughed out loud.
It was well known that the relationship between Fiona and her father Diego was very sincere.
Otherwise, Fiona would not have risked her life to enter the Divine Temple to find her father, whom she could almost assume was dead.
This alone shows their deep father-daughter relationship.
But Diego in front of them?
According to normal father-daughter relationships, Diego would definitely ask about his daughter if he saw she didn’t come out of the stone temple.
However, they had been standing here for more than ten minutes, and Diego still calmly sat under the tree as if nothing was wrong.
Kaine’s previous words directly exposed Diego’s flaw.
Although this Diego looked identical to Fiona’s father, he was absolutely not Fiona’s father!
"Aren’t you ’Zhang Songkang’?"
Yang Qingshu suddenly said out of nowhere.
Everyone froze upon hearing this.
Who Zhang Songkang was, how could they not know?
Earlier, at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Songkang came up to chat and then prepared to attack them.
As he was about to make a move, Tie Xiong used Extraordinary Ability to control him.
Seeing he couldn’t defeat Tie Xiong, Zhang Songkang honestly chose to cooperate.
However, when Yang Qingshu said "Zhang Songkang," he referred to the monster occupying Zhang Songkang’s body!
Such monsters had occupied the bodies of those who entered the Divine Temple.
From the surface, they looked no different from normal humans.
But in fact, they were cannibalistic monsters!
"Divine Envoy Lord, you are truly remarkable!"
Seeing his identity exposed, ’Diego’ no longer denied it.
"Tell us what is going on here?"
Yang Qingshu snorted coldly and asked.
"I... I just want to go out with you, leave Stone Temple Village..."
’Diego’ replied with a sly grin.
"Explain the origin of Stone Temple Village and your situation with the villagers!"
Tie Xiong waved the Evil Ghost statue in front of ’Diego’ and said coldly.
"Well..."
’Diego’ showed a trace of fear in his eyes and had to speak honestly.
It turned out that whether it was the Blood Men in those black coffins or monsters like ’Diego’ that occupied bodies, they were all villagers of Stone Temple Village.
Originally, these villagers of Stone Temple Village were followers of the Blood God Sect, worshiping the Blood God.
But later, the villagers betrayed the Blood God and the Blood God Sect.
They killed the temple priest of the Blood God Temple, that black-robed old man in the stone temple.
Then they burned the stone temple dedicated to the Blood God.
Soon, the villagers received the Blood God’s curse.
The temple priest resurrected and began to hunt the villagers of Stone Temple Village.
At the same time, the villagers had to always lay inside the coffins.
Once they left the coffin, their entire flesh would quickly dissolve until they died.
To break the Blood God’s curse, the village chief of Stone Temple Village came up with a method, which was—borrowing life!
As long as they lured living people to voluntarily lie inside their coffins, they could borrow life from them.
Once they successfully borrowed life, they could occupy the living person’s body and escape the coffin’s confinement.
Villagers like ’Diego’ had successfully borrowed life.
However, borrowing life was essentially an evil method; even if successful, they need to change their bodies every once in a while.
Of course, borrowing life again didn’t need to be as complicated as the first time; they just needed to do it when the target was weak...
