In the dungeon, the hideous monster made rough roars from time to time. Although his eyes were gray, the guards who were responsible for guarding him could see full of desire in them.

That’s right, it’s desire, a desire for human blood.

"What on earth is this?"

The guard who was speaking was named Cheng An, he was new, young and hot-tempered. This time he was sent to guard a monster, and he was already resentful. Now that he saw that this monster had become a prisoner and even dared to bare his teeth at him, he immediately became unhappy.

"Let me see what the hell this thing is. It's been howling all night long, but it's still so energetic."

Cheng An was about to step forward when he was stopped by an older guard. "The Marquis said that this monster is very dangerous and no one is allowed to get close. Do you want to die?"

He meant that getting close to this monster would be life-threatening, but Cheng An thought he was afraid of Lin Chengyu, and immediately looked down on him, "You are afraid, but I am not."

He is just a pretty boy about the same age as him. I don't know what dirty tricks he used to become a marquis. It's really despicable.

Cheng An pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a disdainful expression. With that little body, he could pin him to the ground and make him cry for his parents with just one finger. These people are really spineless. They are so scared of a young boy. They are really wimps.

Seeing that Cheng An refused to listen and insisted on approaching the monster, the older guard frowned and reached out to pick him up. No matter how Cheng An struggled, the big hand holding his collar was like steel and did not let go at all.

Cheng An was carried to the back like a little chicken.

"Stay well."

Cheng An curled his lips and stood in the corner without saying anything. The situation was stronger than him, so he just stayed there.

When Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng arrived, the monster in the cage was still roaring. It could be seen that he was trying to break free from the cage and pounce on living people.

The guard stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Marquis, this monster has not eaten or drunk anything since we caught him yesterday, yet he is still so energetic. No matter what we ask him, he looks like he doesn't understand. He is really a traitor."

The monster beside him was still roaring, with its arms stretched out and its hands scratching randomly. He looked at it with disdain and said, "In my opinion, it would be better to torture him and see if he can still pretend here."

"No!"

Cheng An stepped forward and said anxiously, "He is also a living person and has done nothing wrong. How can you treat him like this? I don't think it's okay."

These words were so powerful that it seemed as if he was the kindest person in the world and no one else could compare to him.

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Xuan Zheng with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something, but Xuan Zheng didn't even glance back at him.

The guards standing around looked at each other and their faces turned black. This kid wanted to show off in front of the prince, so he had to find a smarter way. He said these nonsense words. Was he waiting for the prince to praise him?

Lin Chengyu looked at Cheng An with a half-smile, "Then according to you, what should we do?"

Cheng An looked respectful, but he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes. "Of course, I will try to persuade you."

Probation?

Everyone looked at the cage, feeling speechless.

Lin Chengyu made a gesture of invitation, "This marquis has limited knowledge and does not know how to influence such a monster. Why don't you take the lead? If you succeed, the prince will naturally remember you as a great merit."

Everyone present looked at Cheng An as if he were a warrior. He was restrained by Lin Chengyu's words and could not say no for a moment, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

As he got closer to the cage, he seemed to be able to smell the odor emanating from the monster, which seemed to be very similar to the smell of a dead body.

But how is this possible? This is clearly a living person who can run and jump, how could he be dead? This person must have some disease or been poisoned to emit such a smell.

Cheng An encouraged himself in his heart. After walking just a few steps, he was sweating all over.

The monster suddenly seemed to be under a spell and stopped all movements. It slightly raised its head and made a sniffing motion. The next moment, an extreme desire appeared on its ferocious face and it began to scratch towards Cheng An like crazy.

When Cheng An saw that his nails were blue-black and his skin was as pale as a death, he became even more scared. If he was scratched, he might be infected.

In a trance, his clothes were hooked by blue-black nails. The monster in the cage pulled him towards itself with all its strength, and opened its mouth wide, as if it wanted to bite him.

Cheng An is skilled in martial arts, otherwise he would not have been chosen to work in the Linhuai Palace. It's just that he has little experience and is a paper tiger. His son was so scared that he began to struggle without any plan.

But the monster seemed to be extremely strong, and like a hungry tiger, it would not let go of people once it grabbed them. Seeing Cheng An's neck getting closer and closer to the grinning mouth, the guards were about to step forward to rescue him, but were frightened in place by Lin Chengyu's swift movement.

He pulled out a knife and ruthlessly chopped off the monster's arm.

Cheng An was saved. His legs went limp and he sat on the ground, his face pale.

The blood-gushing scene that the guards had expected did not occur. The monster seemed to have no sense of pain, not even a cry of pain. The color of the broken arm...

Well, it's not new at all.

It's a color that only people who have been dead for some time would have.

"How is this going?"

The guards watched the monster in the cage stretching its neck and trying to get out of the gap. Without its arms, it looked very funny.

But at this moment, no one could laugh.

They claimed to be knowledgeable, but this was the first time they had seen something like this. Both arms were chopped off, but the person was unconscious. It was really scary.

Only then did Cheng An know what real fear was. He shrank to the side and dared not say a word. Sweat kept streaming down his face and he felt a sense of fear in his heart.

If he was scratched or bitten by such a monster, he might become a monster himself. He couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

Yu Guangzhong and Lin Chengyu were approaching the monster. He gritted his teeth, hoping that the monster would suddenly attack and hurt someone.

"My lord, be careful." The guards gritted their teeth and surrounded the monster. Although the monster's arms had been chopped off, there was no guarantee that it would not have other tricks to hurt people.

Lin Chengyu still held the knife in his hand. He raised his hand and stabbed several holes in the zombie's chest. The zombie was still unconscious and kept jumping around trying to bite people.

Everyone present was dumbfounded. "Is this the living dead mentioned in the storybook? Although it looks like it can move, the person is already dead. It is only because of some kind of curse that it can move like a normal person."
