Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Thanks to QiDian babies for the additional update with 20 monthly tickets.

At the moment Xiao Jinsheng locked eyes with the Fog Corpse, her soul almost fled her body in terror.

The Fog Corpse swung its heavy claw, and the cardboard box around them burst apart.

Holding the cub tightly, Xiao Jinsheng got up and bolted, only to realize that the mist had thickened tonight, and there were already plenty of Fog Corpses around.

The Fog Corpses, hearing the commotion, all turned their eyes on Xiao Jinsheng.

"It’s over, it’s over." Xiao Jinsheng despaired, tightening her grip on the cub in her arms.

She had always stayed obediently in the Terminal Sanctuary before—where had she ever encountered a scene like this?

Even if the surrounding Fog Corpses were only One Star, they posed an extreme threat to Xiao Jinsheng, who was only eight years old.

Fortunately, she was familiar with the surrounding terrain. Carrying the cub, she climbed and ducked, narrowly escaping the Fog Corpses’ attacks time and again. Tragically, however, the noise kept drawing more Fog Corpses behind her.

The cub struggled in Xiao Jinsheng’s arms; the more it struggled, the tighter she held it.

Angry, the cub opened its mouth and rubbed its sharp teeth against Xiao Jinsheng’s wrist.

"Be quiet—we’re running for our lives here." Xiao Jinsheng yanked at the sharp-furred edge of its rounded ears.

"Run for what? If you don’t deal with them, you’ll draw even more Fog Corpses." The cub spoke coldly.

"Let me go, let me deal with them." The cub struggled, its crimson eyes filled with battle intent.

Xiao Jinsheng didn’t trust that with one lame leg, it could muster any combat strength—not when it couldn’t even break free from her embrace.

Still clutching the cub tightly, she was about to climb up onto a water tower when a Fog Corpse suddenly emerged and pounced on her, knocking her to the ground and sending the cub tumbling to the side.

Just as the Fog Corpse raised its claw, about to pierce her head, a long metal rod shot through its palm, pinning it firmly to the ground.

A tall, lanky boy, his black hair loose, trudged over with a limp, quickly and painstakingly pulling out the rod that had pierced the Fog Corpse’s palm before driving it straight into the creature’s head through its temple.

After dispatching the Fog Corpse that had ambushed them, he gripped the rod tightly and extended a hand towards the fallen Xiao Jinsheng: "Get up, stay behind me."
