Stepping out of the tomb again, everyone felt as if they had been transported to another world.

After getting away from the tomb, Su Xingze gradually suppressed the nausea in his heart, and only then did he have the energy to look at the other teenagers.

A month of seclusion dealt a double blow to these teenagers, both mentally and physically.

Emerging from the underground cave, the boys had ample time to adjust because the light transitioned naturally within the passage. However, the moment they stepped onto the surface and stood in the sunlight, tears streamed down the faces of almost everyone.

I don't know if it was the sunlight that stimulated me, or because I was relieved that these dark and gloomy days were finally over.

The once energetic Zhang Shengchun now looked like a beggar, his greasy hair plastered to his scalp in strands, his long hair tangled and messily stuck to his scalp.

His face was ashen, his eyes tired and unfocused, as if he had not yet recovered from being in the tomb.

Sunlight fell on him, and his empty, dazed eyes stared at the light. His eyes became red and watery from the stimulation, but he couldn't bear to look away. It took him a while to adjust before the dazed look on his face slowly disappeared, as if he were coming to his senses.

As they left the tomb, Su Xingze cast an illusion spell on himself and the child, so that in other people's eyes they would probably look like Zhang Shengchun.

Su Xingze's gaze swept over the others. Everyone's appearance and expression were similar, but some of them were in a worse state. Not only did they look blank, but they also had a putrid stench. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the smell was coming from their wounds.

These young members of the Zhang family all possess Qilin blood, and their blood has insect-repelling abilities; it's just a matter of degree.

It is unknown how these people were bitten by the poisonous insects, but he knew that if it weren't for the strong resistance of the Qilin bloodline to poison, these people might have died in the tomb long ago.

Zhang Ruifeng gave the group of teenagers ample time to adjust. Only after they had recovered sufficiently did he announce the end of training and that they could go home to rest.

Considering it was the teenagers' first time entering a tomb, and the impact of the experience was significant, the clan gave them three days to rest and adjust.

As they were leaving, Su Xingze glanced at Zhang Ruifeng, who showed no remorse upon seeing the child, and immediately pulled the child along behind him.

He hasn't forgotten what Zhang Ruifeng did to the children.

The moment Su Xingze pulled Zhang Shenglin to stand behind him, a chill ran down his spine. The intuition he had gained through years of life-and-death experience made Zhang Ruifeng instinctively turn around.

Seeing Zhang Shenglin standing behind him, Zhang Ruifeng thought he understood the reason.

He gave a silent, cold laugh, his eyes filled with malice and threat.

You little brat, you're lucky to be alive!

He didn't take Su Xingze seriously, and thus missed Su Xingze's eyes filled with dark green light. At this moment, Su Xingze tore off his peaceful facade, revealing a strange, icy corner of his being.

In a field of vision unreachable by others, wisps of gray mist spread from Su Xingze's fingertips. These ominous gray gases lightly clung to Zhang Ruifeng's body, becoming inseparable from his aura over time.

If someone skilled in physiognomy were to see Zhang Ruifeng now, they would be terrified. A dark complexion is nothing compared to the dark aura surrounding him; Zhang Ruifeng has now become a black man shrouded in darkness.

Unfortunately, such a coincidence did not occur. A few seconds later, the black aura surrounding Zhang Ruifeng flashed and disappeared without a trace, as if the previous appearance of black clouds was all an illusion. Even the most outstanding physiognomist would not be able to detect anything strange.

Su Xingze blinked, and his eerie green eyes returned to their clear, spring-like state.

Zhang Ruifeng, who was walking ahead of them, did not notice the change in himself at that moment. He only felt a strange panic, as if something terrible was happening.

His heart pounded faster and faster, his body tensed under the invisible threat, cold sweat broke out, and his intuition told him that danger was imminent, but he didn't know where it came from. This fear, which felt like it was choking him, made him walk faster and faster.

The boys, who had just emerged from underground, were still not fully recovered. Their long-term training made them instinctively keep up with Zhang Ruifeng, and they didn't have much energy to pay attention to anything else.

No one noticed Su Xingze's change just now, except for Zhang Shenglin, who was standing next to him and had been paying some attention to him, and he vaguely sensed it.

He glanced at the little mermaid beside him. The little mermaid looked at him with a smile in her eyes, and raised her jade-like fingers to her lips. So he lowered his eyes and asked nothing.

Su Xingze didn't actually do anything to Zhang Ruifeng, much less kill him openly. He simply gave Zhang Ruifeng a bit of his strange energy from his own body.

The Weird possesses a powerful corrupting force; as a forbidden-level Weird, even a trace of its aura has a strong corrupting ability.

Just like what Zhang Ruifeng did to the child, he didn't kill the child, but only put more poisonous insects in the child's tomb. The eerie aura he gave to Zhang Ruifeng was just like the poisonous insects that entered the child's tomb.

It poses a threat to Zhang Ruifeng, and also carries a fatal risk. However, if he has a strong will, powerful mental strength, and good luck, this strange aura will only bring him bad luck for a while, at most causing him some non-fatal injuries. But if his will is not strong enough, and he is not lucky enough, he may transform into a monster whose rationality has collapsed.

He tampered with Zhang Ruifeng's body; if he were to mutate into a monster, he would die within five minutes at most, preventing him from spreading the contamination after his mutation.

However, doing such a thing under the very nose of the world's rules was still too stimulating. Su Xingze suffered a backlash, which was somewhat severe, but still within his tolerance.

The group returned to their clan's territory in silence, and then dispersed to go home.

As soon as he entered his own yard, Su Xingze's legs went weak, and he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

As expected, he stumbled into a cool, refreshing embrace.

"Aze!" Zhang Shenglin caught him urgently, his worry overshadowing his usual indifferent demeanor.

Su Xingze reached out and grabbed his shoulder, leaning against him. He rested his head on Zhang Shenglin's shoulder and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The world consciousness is so petty. It only polluted one person. Was it necessary to retaliate against him like this?

Muttering a warning from the world's consciousness to himself, Su Xingze nuzzled against Zhang Shenglin's ear and whispered something in his ear.

"Ah Lin, I've avenged you."

The warm breath brushed against his ear, and Zhang Shenglin's ears twitched. Not wanting to know how he vented his anger, he pursed his lips angrily and picked up the little merman who was now weak.

Su Xingze hooked his arm around the child's neck, his fingers twirling the child's long hair. He had just done something naughty, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, but this pleasure vanished instantly when he realized the child was about to put him on the bed.

"Wait!" He wrapped his arms tightly around Zhang Shenglin's neck, hanging himself on him with all his might, and glanced at the bed with disgust. "This bed hasn't been lived in for a month. It's covered in dust and filth. I don't want to get on it."

Zhang Shenglin paused for a moment, knowing that the little mermaid's fastidiousness meant she wouldn't be willing to go up, and he sighed.

"Your recliner."

Su Xingze took out the recliner, lay down comfortably on it, and watched the child clean with his eyes half-closed.

Aren't you going to ask me what I did?

Zhang Shenglin: "What did you do?"

Su Xingze smiled maliciously: "Doesn't Zhang Ruifeng like to give you gifts? It's only natural to return the favor, so I just gave him a return gift, hoping he'll like it."

Zhang Shenglin kept his head down and continued with his work, his expression unchanged, even though he knew Zhang Ruifeng probably wouldn't like the return gift.
