Beast Tamer, Wither Skeleton's Storm Journey

Fengrang City Lower District, 12:30 p.m.

In a metal smelting plant on the edge of the slum, Zhao Huan finished his lunch as usual, put on his work clothes, and walked to his workstation.

"Lao Zhao! There are not many tasks today. Finish them quickly and you can get off work around 2pm!"

As soon as Zhao Huan entered his workstation, a worker next to him came up and said happily:

"Really? Lao Li, you're leaving get off work so early. Where did you hear the news?"

Lao Li pointed to the team leader who was distributing tasks and said, "The team leader just informed us that there are not many tasks."

"Haha, that's a good feeling!"

Zhao Huan was also sincerely happy and worked much more efficiently.

"Steel is out, get ready!"

The blast furnace outlet in the distance roared, and golden molten steel gushed out and quickly cooled. Zhao Huan quickly controlled the switch to cut off a piece, quickly picked up the red-hot steel column, and threw it into the cooling pool beside him.

Skilled in mechanical operations

The scorching hot air made him, a level 6 beastmaster, sweat profusely, but he was very happy.

Not only because I got off work early today, but also because of my own Beastmaster's promotion.

When he thought about meeting his childhood sweetheart today, he was full of energy and his work speed increased a lot.

Today's tasks were unexpectedly few. In short, with Zhao Huan's full efforts, he quickly finished all the work and left the factory at 2:42 pm, heading towards his home in the downtown area.

The half-hour journey passed in the blink of an eye. He used the remaining salary from yesterday to buy some bionic skin, surgical sutures, and a brand new skin-threading needle.

On the way, he bought himself a box lunch and two oranges, and carried them back to his small apartment.

crunch~

Zhao Huan opened the gray corridor door, put in the bag of medical supplies, and strode into the corridor full of dust and the smell of damp sewers.

Unlock, open the door, shake off the dust

"Xiaoxue, I'm back!"

Zhao Huan opened his mouth and shouted towards the inner room, but no one in the small room of less than 20 square meters responded.

Zhao Huan was used to it. He took off his shoes and brushed off the dust on his body.

Just then, there was a slight noise coming from the narrow corridor connecting the kitchen and the toilet, as if someone was moving.

A girl about 1.6 meters tall came out of the kitchen. Her eyes were gray and her head was slightly turned towards Zhao Huan. She walked over step by step, like a baby learning to walk.

The numb pupils moved slightly after seeing Zhao Huan's figure reflected in them, as if a surprise message flashed by.

"xi, xiao, xiao...hu, an"

The girl's mouth opened and closed stiffly, her vocal cords were not hoarse, and her crisp voice revealed a sense of dead silence.

Zhao Huan happily put down the medicine. He wanted to hug the girl, but the stinky sweat on his body stopped him.

"Xiaoxue! Go sit on the bed first. I'll sew your skin back together after I finish my bath."

Zhao Huan rushed into the toilet and soon heard the sound of flushing.

Xiaoxue stood there for a while, then slowly turned her head to the toilet, and after a few seconds, she walked towards the bed step by step.

crunch~

Sitting still, Xiaoxue was like an exquisite rag doll. Except for the scar on her face that was sewn with thread and ran through her entire head, she looked no different from a living person. She sat there quietly, waiting for Zhao Huan.

Soon, Zhao Huan finished washing. He walked out of the toilet, cleaned up quickly, and put on clean clothes.

Zhao Huan took the needle he had bought, picked up Xiaoxue, gently held Xiaoxue's face, and removed the original stitches bit by bit, then took out the newly bought surgical stitches.

"You have healed well today. Once this year's offerings are issued, you will be able to advance and you will be alive again."

Zhao Huan seemed very happy as he gently sewed the skin on Xiaoxue's face. From the vertical cut that almost cut off her head, one could see how huge the original injury was. But it would soon heal.

Xiaoxue looked at Zhao Huan quietly, and changed direction from time to time to make it easier for Zhao Huan to sew.

"Alright ＾0＾~!"

Zhao Huan tied a bow and gently rubbed Xiaoxue's head.

"I will ask them later. Today is the day to distribute the blood beads."

Zhao Huan said, put Xiaoxue down, sat on the bed and ate the lunch box he bought.

"Xiaoxue, do you still remember that you like eating carrots very much?"

Xiaoxue raised her head blankly. After a moment of calm, her eyes flickered. Then she nodded slowly. The bow on her face fluttered with her movements.

"It's great that you still remember it. It happened more than 90 years ago."

Zhao Huan smiled happily

After finishing his lunch, he set up the magic circle, knelt on the ground, and muttered strange words devoutly.

"Great Death, the other side of the world, the gravekeeper of all things, the god who transcends life and death, please respond to a small request from your most devout believer. I request to establish a connection with the sub-master."

The magic circle in front of Zhao Huan glowed, and a faint death aura leaked out, which quickly dissipated. Then, a voice that was neither male nor female came from the other side of the magic circle.

"Zhao Huan, you have been following death for almost ninety years, right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Zhao Huan knelt on the ground, his head on the ground, and said devoutly

"Very good, you are very loyal, and have even existed longer than some of the elders!"

A voice of praise came from the other side of the magic circle, causing Zhao Huan to lower his head even closer to the ground.

"Now I will reward you with a blood bead, and you can break through to level seven."

Zhao Huan's body was tense, his face was excited, and his hands were tightly drilled.

Suddenly, a crystal clear blood bead appeared on the formation, floating in the air.

"Thank you, Bishop! Praise death!"

Zhao Huan grabbed the blood bead in an instant, but didn't dare to squeeze it too hard.

"Praise death, and you can go and get promoted." The bishop cut off the magic circle, and the voice slowly dissipated.

Zhao Huan stood up suddenly, looked at Xiaoxue behind him, and slapped himself twice.

Xiaoxue suddenly became nervous and looked away from Zhao Huan's hand, as if wondering what happened to Zhao Huan.

"I'm fine, baby! You can finally be like a normal person!"

Zhao Huan was excited, tears glistening in his eyes. He set up a formation to isolate the aura, and hurriedly took out several ingredients and gave them to Xiaoxue one by one.

Then he stretched out his hand and handed it to Xiaoxue's mouth.

Xiaoxue swallowed the blood bead, gently opened her mouth, took a small bite on Zhao Huan's arm, and sucked a little blood.

Then, Xiaoxue's body began to change, and her blood rushed

Gudong~

A slight beating sound brought Zhao Huan back to his senses. He looked at Xiaoxue expectantly.

The lines on Xiaoxue's face broke one by one, and the granulation tissue on the wounds grew rapidly. A clean, beautiful and familiar face appeared in front of Zhao Huan.

"Xiaoxue..."

Zhao Huan looked at the face that he had restored with all his efforts over the past ninety years with an obsessed look in his eyes. He spoke in a trance.

boom!

Just when Xiaoxue was halfway through her promotion, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the lower city.

Zhao Huan protected Xiaoxue who was being promoted behind him and stared at the broken window with wide eyes.

A long gun was very conspicuous in the flying smoke, and several people in law enforcement uniforms broke into the room through the window.

"The Law Enforcement Department has taken action. The Undead Beast Tamer Zhao Huan, prepare to be killed!"
