Chapter 148 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 36

At the other end of the crematorium in Xia Country, Eric and Tom, contestants from Ugly Country, who are far away across the ocean, are facing an unprecedented challenge. As undertakers selected to represent Ugly Country in this international supernatural challenge, they originally thought that this was just a simple competition, but the scene before them made them feel unprecedented fear.

The two took the packed urn from the paper figurine, held the shovel tightly in their hands, and came to the cemetery tremblingly. The blood-red moonlight shone on the deserted cemetery, adding a bit of weirdness to this silent land. The occasional giggles and the sound of mice gnawing bones, like the whispers of the devil, constantly tortured the ears of the two.

Cold sweat had already seeped out of Tom's forehead. He said to Eric in a trembling voice:

"This place... this place is so weird, do we really want to bury the ashes here?"

Although Eric seemed calmer than Tom, he was also nervous. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more resolute:

"We don't have a choice. This is our mission. We have to get it done."

Tom walked in front with a shovel in his hand. His steps were heavy, as if he was stepping on cotton. They chose a vacant lot and prepared to start digging. Eric swung the shovel and started digging. However, just after he dug a few times, the land suddenly seemed to have been stabbed in the aorta, and bright red blood slowly oozed out from the ground.

Tom was so frightened by this scene that he quickly took two steps back. He pointed at the gushing blood and his voice became shrill:

"This...what's going on? What should we do?"

Eric was also frightened by this sudden situation, but his experience told him that he should not panic now. He was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said to Tom, "Let's try another place."

The two of them changed positions, and Eric started digging again with his shovel. However, this time the situation was even more bizarre. Before he had dug two shovels, he dug out the palm of an ancient corpse from the ground. The skin on the palm had dried and fallen off, leaving only white bones, but strangely, it seemed to still retain its softness and elasticity when it was alive.

What frightened the two even more was that a long voice came from their palms:

"Two guys, why are you digging my grave?" The voice was eerie and terrifying, as if it came from the underworld. Tom was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and could only hold Eric's sleeve tightly.

Although Eric was also terrified, he knew he couldn't back down now. He tried to stay calm and said in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, we didn't know this was your grave. We'll be leaving soon."

However, the ghoul had no intention of letting them go. He said coldly: "If you want me to forgive you, you need to sacrifice your flesh and blood."

This sentence put the two of them in a dilemma. They knew that if they did not do as the wights asked, they would likely face even more horrific consequences. However, asking them to actually sacrifice their own flesh and blood was too cruel and terrifying.

Tom was so scared that he almost cried. He looked at Eric helplessly, hoping that he could come up with a solution. Eric was also very anxious. He knew that their current situation was very critical. He gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision.

He turned to Tom and said:

"Tom, I'm sorry." Then he swung the shovel and slashed at his arm. Blood gushed out immediately. Tom looked at the scene in horror and couldn't believe his eyes.

Eric endured the severe pain and handed his arm to the ghoul in front of him. The ghoul took the arm, put it in his mouth, and began to chew. A satisfied and sinister smile appeared on his face, as if he was enjoying this long-lost delicacy.

Tom looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with fear and despair. He couldn't believe that his teammates would do such a thing. He lay on the ground, holding his wound, tears streaming down his eyes.

Eric looked at Tom with mixed feelings. He knew that what he did might make Tom hate him for the rest of his life, but he also knew that they had no other choice. Either he had to give up his body or his own, and he couldn't bear to do that to himself.

After the ghoul ate the arm, it left with satisfaction. Eric and Tom lay on the ground, motionless. They knew that their mission had failed. However, they were more worried about what more terrifying things would happen next.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked when they saw this scene. They all started to discuss this matter:

"This corpse ghost is too scary! It actually wants to eat human flesh and blood!"

"These two contestants are so miserable! They even had to sacrifice their arms to complete the mission!"

"This is simply a nightmare!"

"Zhu Lili and Qian Zhe must do their best! They must not lose to these ugly country players!"

"Yes! Our Xia country's players are the best!"

"Haha, look at this ugly country player, he even killed his own teammates just to save his life!"

"Such selfish guys should be made to suffer!"

"Is this what you call 'international friendship'? It's a joke!"

The audience from Country Xia used harsh words to mercilessly mock the contestants from Country Chou. Previously, this group of people had been sneering at the contestants from their own country, and now they finally had the chance to fight back openly.

The audience in the Ugly Country were furious. They tried to refute, but faced with so many barrage attacks, they seemed powerless.

"You Xia people only know how to gloat over other people's misfortunes! Your players are not necessarily any better than ours!"

"That's right, you Xia people shouldn't be too complacent. When our players come back, we'll see how you can still be so arrogant!"

However, these objections were soon drowned out by ridicule and abuse. The audience of Xia Country seemed to have found an outlet to vent their anger. They laughed at the contestants of Chou Country to their heart's content, as if this could wash away their fear of the corpse ghosts and the unknown future.

"Eric, you are so selfish! You even killed your teammates just to save your own life!"

"People like you are not worthy of being our people! You have brought shame upon our ugly country!"

As the cynicism of the Xia Country audience intensified, the Ugly Country audience gradually fell into confusion. They tried to defend their country's contestants, but faced with the flood of negative comments, they felt powerless. In the ocean of barrage, their voices seemed to be drowned in an endless abyss.

"You Xia people are so despicable! How dare you slander our contestants like this!" an angry ugly country audience roared in the barrage.

However, his voice was soon drowned out by the ridicule and abuse from the Xia audience.

"Look for yourselves. Eric even hurt his teammates just to save his own life. How can such a selfish person be worthy of representing your ugly country?" A Xia country audience responded triumphantly.

The audience in the Ugly Country was furious. They could not stand the humiliation of their country's players, and they could not tolerate a black player hurting a white person in order to save his life. In their eyes, black people are always inferior, representing slaves and evil.

"This black man Eric is simply a disgrace to our ugly country!" an angry American audience roared in the live broadcast room.

"In order to save his own life, he even killed his own teammates! This kind of selfish behavior is an insult to our ugly people!"

As this audience roared, more and more Ugly American audiences began to vent their anger on Eric. They cursed and swore in the comments, and some even began to attack the race to which Eric belonged.

"You black people should be our slaves forever!" an extreme Ugly Chinese viewer roared in the barrage, "You don't deserve freedom and human rights at all!"

With the emergence of these extreme remarks, the social atmosphere in the United States began to become tense. The existing racial discrimination problem was completely intensified at this moment. People began to attack and curse each other on the streets, and some even started to beat others.

The crime rate in the country has skyrocketed. The originally peaceful streets have become chaotic, and people are living in fear and anxiety. Although the government and police departments have taken emergency measures, they are powerless in the face of such serious social problems.
