Death… And Me

Chapter 710 - Capturing

Suddenly, Rean noticed that a small commotion was happening on one of the corners of the tribe. He focused his Spiritual Sense there, just in time to see a few Zasfins rushing out of the tribe walls in pursuit of a shadow in the distance.

"It's that idiot again! Catch him!"

"I'm going to break all his bones this time!"

"First of all, who the hell let him escape again? Whoever was taking care of the farm this time around will definitely receive a beating."

The shadow in the distance saw the Zasfins quickly approaching him. However, he gritted his teeth and tried to run even faster. One could see many scars on his body. In fact, he even limped a little due to some old injuries. Nevertheless, he kept running despite the threats. It was obvious that he wouldn't be able to escape, but he didn't give up. "So what if you break all my bones? That only means I'll die. At the very least, you'll just lose a slave to work. Hahaha!"

Rean couldn't help but smile after hearing that. He became a bit curious as to how far the man would go, so he followed him close while keeping his Light and Spiritual Sense bending skill active. He even deliberately put a few obstacles on the man's front, making him trip and slow down even more. Of course, neither the man nor the Zasfins behind him found it strange, only thinking that the man was unlucky.

He didn't stop running, though. He would get up and charge forward every single time. There was fear in his eyes, but the hatred inside it was much bigger. Even if he couldn't escape, he would make it as hard as possible for the Zasfins in pursuit.

Eventually, a voice echoed in the limping man's ears, saying, "Very good. You will be the first one."

Before he even had a chance to say anything, his body flew up in the air, shooting toward the skies. Obviously, the man was frightened by that view as he looked back, thinking that the Zasfins did it to him. Too bad for him since he was wrong. He immediately saw the Zasfins stop in the position he was just a moment ago, looking everywhere.

"Where did he go?"

"He was here just now!"

"I don't understand. He simply disappeared right in front of my eyes."

"Did he trick us to come here?"

"What else could it be? Quick, spread out! He couldn't have gone too far!"

Only then did the man notice that the Zasfins had nothing to do with it. "What's happening here? I'm right above their heads. Why can't they see me? Also, how the hell am I flying?!"

"That's because I'm holding you with my Spiritual Energy," a white-haired young man replied to his question, who suddenly appeared by his side like a ghost.

"Ah!" As expected, the man was frightened by the guy's sudden appearance. "Wh-who are you?"

Rean smiled at him as he patted his shoulder. Following that, a burst of white light came from Rean's hands and entered the man's body, quickly healing all his injuries, even the old ones that he thought he would need to pass his life with. "Me? I'm a human, just like you."

The man was shocked to hear that...well, more like just shocked overall. First off, it was because he heard the word human from that guy. Second, his body had never felt so good before since he was a kid and was put to work. "This...are you here to capture me?"

Rean nodded, saying, "Well, that's not wrong. I'm in need of a few adults that could take care of a bunch of human kids. How about it? Are you interested in the job?"

Naturally, the man was even more puzzled as Rean explained his purpose for capturing him. "What are you talking about?"

Rean laughed in response, shaking his head as he said, "Hahaha! It's fine, it's fine. You'll understand later. At the moment, all you need to know is that I can give you a much better life than what you have here."

As overwhelmed as the man could be, he wasn't in a hurry. He tried to calm down first and then said, "So basically, I'll become your slave instead of those guys, right? Hmph! No need! Put me down."

Rean looked at the young man with surprise as he said, "Now, that's a surprise. I thought you would take the first opportunity to leave this place even if it was somewhat suspicious."

"Somewhat?" The man's mouth twitched as he responded with a question, "Is there anything in this situation that isn't extremely suspicious?"

Rean had to admit the man was right. "Well, that's true. Anyway, I don't want to make you my slave. I'm a human, too, after all. I'll explain everything later, and if you want to leave, I won't stop you. How about it? Would you at least give it a chance?"

The man narrowed his eyes in response. But as he looked at the Zasfins scattered below, he knew that he wouldn't have a chance to escape if he was left here. "I'm warning you. I didn't submit to them, and I'm definitely not doing submitting to you."

"Fine by me," Rean said as he shrugged his shoulders with a smile. "By the way, I still need nineteen or so people. That's why I'm here. Do you know anyone like you in this tribe?"

The man couldn't help but ask, "Like me? What do you mean?"

"Simple. I need people who are unwilling to submit to the Zasfins. I have no need for those who gave up on their fates because they're slaves, so those don't count. Also, they must not have high cultivations. Anyone at the Energy Gathering Realm and above is out of the question. Oh, right! I would need at least half of them to be women since they're better at taking care of kids," Rean answered as he explained.

Not knowing whether or not to trust Rean, the man went silent for a few minutes. However, Rean didn't rush him and waited. Eventually, a look of determination appeared on his face as he pointed at the tribe, saying, "I don't know all the humans in the tribe, but I do know a few who think like me. However, let alone nineteen, there are only three or four of them."

Rean smiled after hearing that, saying, "That's enough. They might know more as well. Show me the way."
