"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Creepy howls came over from the end of the tunnel.
It sounded like a ferocious beast on a rampage that had been skinned alive.
Very soon, a daunting shadow rushed into Li Yao and his companions' sight after a few leaps.
It was also an officer of the Imperial Guards. Judging from his epaulet, he was of a rather high military rank.
His face, however, couldn't have been more appalling. His head had expanded to twice the normal size. Quite a few lumps were rising high on his forehead and his temples, fluctuating like beating hearts.
His eyes were so red that they were almost purple, so purple that they were almost black. From the festering eyes, tremendous colorful, suspicious fluids were flowing out, as if his brain had entirely been turned into mucus that was being squeezed out.
