Zhao Fu’s task at hand was to dig pits night and day, and he and his 32 Goblins started to dig more and more.
…………………………………………
Back at Heavenstone City, Shi Jian, who had been comatose, finally woke up. He had received even heavier injuries than Zhao Fu, which was why he had only woken up now.
Lying on his bed, Shi Jian looked as if he had suddenly aged 10 or so years, and there were even traces of white hair on his head.
Liu Sheng and Yue Linping had long since been waiting at his side. Yue Linping had already recovered, and while Liu Sheng’s hands had been chopped off by Zhao Fu, they had somehow been reattached; however, his cultivation had been greatly reduced.
When they saw Shi Jian slowly open his eyes, they gently called out, “City Lord!”
Shi Jian weakly nodded and put his hand on the side of the bed, trying to get up. Liu Sheng and Yue Linping quickly came up to help, and they sat Shi Jian up against a pillow.
