105: Chapter 15 was like a gust of wind.
On the contrary, Huo Siyan discovered that his eyesight had improved. The Cellar should have been dim, but now his vision was exceptionally sharp.
Looking at the filth on Kong Ziyi's body, Huo Siyan even felt a bit nauseated.
But in the next second, something even more disgusting came.
Huo Siyan found that a large amount of black filth had seeped from his body, and it smelled extremely foul, like sludge from a stinking gutter.
Huo Siyan stared at the changes in his own body, his handsome face filled with shock.
But upon closer inspection, one would notice.
At this moment, although Huo Siyan's facial features hadn't changed much, they appeared deeper and more defined than before.
It was hard to pinpoint exactly what had changed, but he was indeed more handsome than before.
"B-boss, how do you feel?"
Seeing Huo Siyan wake up, Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei immediately crowded around him, not caring in the slightest what Kong Ziyi, lagging behind, might be thinking.
One could even say they completely ignored Kong Ziyi.
"Huh?" Kong Ziyi stared blankly at Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei. He had originally hoped they would help him out, but he never expected them to ignore him outright.
Kong Ziyi felt bitter inside, but he couldn't voice it.
He was afraid that if the muscles on his face moved, the filth would flow into his mouth.
Feeling the changes in his body, especially upon realizing his wounds had healed, a flicker of shock flashed in Huo Siyan's eyes.
Huo Siyan reached out to touch the wound on his back.
But there was no longer any wound there. Huo Siyan couldn't see it, but his fingers felt skin that was extremely smooth.
Not only that, but the old scars on Huo Siyan's body had also been smoothed away. His skin was incredibly smooth, like a freshly peeled egg.
"Boss, your wound has healed!"
Lu Huan's eyes sparkled with pleasant surprise.
Just moments ago, he had thought only some minor wounds had healed.
But he never expected that all the wounds on his body had recovered, leaving no trace of injury whatsoever.
While sensing the changes in his body, Huo Siyan suddenly felt an intense itch in his hand, as if something was about to seep out from his palm.
Huo Siyan instinctively extended his palm.
A surge of purple lightning instantly spread out from the center of Huo Siyan's palm.
At first, it was just a tiny speck, then it grew larger and larger.
From a thin, thread-like strand, it gradually transformed into a dense, tangled mass resembling a ball of horsehair.
It was enough to make anyone's heart shudder just looking at it.
"Boss, you..." Meng Hangfei's eyes held confusion. An explanation surfaced in his mind: like Ah Huang, Huo Siyan's body had undergone a mutation.
Ah Huang could spew fire from its mouth, but Huo Siyan could now control the power of lightning.
Huo Siyan now felt a vast and powerful energy within his body.
He had extended his right hand, and now his left hand was also faintly burning with heat.
With a thought, Huo Siyan immediately extended his left hand.
The moment his left hand emerged, a small cluster of flames coalesced at Huo Siyan's left palm.
As Huo Siyan concentrated his will, the flames gathered more and more densely.
Gradually, they enveloped Huo Siyan's entire palm.
"Woof!" Ah Huang, hiding to the side, saw that Huo Siyan could also manipulate fire and a look of envy appeared in its eyes.
Ah Huang hadn't expected that not only could it control fire, but now even this guy Huo Siyan could do it too.
Ah Huang was displeased, but it couldn't speak.
It could only express its dissatisfaction in dog language.
After the lightning in his right hand and the flames in his left had fully gathered, Huo Siyan's body suddenly reacted on instinct.
Almost instantly, the lightning orb and fire orb on Huo Siyan's hands merged into one and shot toward the Cellar wall.
And the direction happened to be exactly where Ah Huang was positioned.
Although Ah Huang had barked earlier, the corpse it was using for cover was so large that it hid Ah Huang completely.
Huo Siyan couldn't see where Ah Huang was at all.
When Ah Huang saw the two energy balls attacking in its direction, it leaped high into the air almost instantly.
After dodging, Ah Huang glared fiercely at Huo Siyan.
Indeed, this Huo Siyan... Ah Huang still couldn't bring itself to like him. Ah Huang hated Huo Siyan, just as much as before.
Even though Huo Siyan had saved Ah Huang's life, Ah Huang had already repaid that debt when they fled into the Cellar earlier.
Seeing Ah Huang dart out from behind the corpse, Huo Siyan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately ran toward Ah Huang to check if it was injured.
But Ah Huang was angry now. Seeing Huo Siyan approach, it directly spewed a ball of fire from its mouth.
It shot straight toward Huo Siyan's face.
As Huo Siyan dodged, he also condensed a ball of fire in his hand. The moment it made contact with the fire Ah Huang had spewed...
The air around them seemed to warp.
Lu Huan stammered as he asked Meng Hangfei, "Old Meng, did I see that right just now? Boss's speed was so fast, like a gust of wind."
Meng Hangfei nodded. He had also noticed it just then; in the blink of an eye, Huo Siyan had already darted over to Ah Huang's side.
Huo Siyan himself realized this issue: his speed had increased.
But at this moment, Huo Siyan had no extra time to ponder this question.
Because the way Ah Huang looked at him was as if he were some kind of enemy.
Why?
When Huo Siyan was unconscious, in his dazed state, he seemed to recall that it was Ah Huang who had carried him.
So why was it treating him like this now?
Was it because of that lightning orb and fire ball earlier?
When the fireball and lightning shot outward, the two orbs merged into one as if guided by a will.
Ah Huang's pure firepower originally couldn't compare to Huo Siyan's combined thunder-fire orb.
But because Huo Siyan's Superpower had just awakened, its offensive power wasn't strong yet.
While Ah Huang's was already mastered to perfection.
So when Ah Huang faced Huo Siyan, it didn't lose the upper hand in the slightest.
"Ah Huang, what's wrong?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to throw it at you."
Ah Huang didn't care what Huo Siyan thought. It launched into a series of barks directed at him.
Not caring whether Huo Siyan could understand or not.
But Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei, listening from the side, felt that Ah Huang's barks were probably quite vulgar.
Just watching Ah Huang's dog mouth open and close was enough to know the situation wasn't simple.
"Woof!"
After one final bark, Ah Huang didn't want to stay in this Cellar anymore. It felt it had nothing more to say to these humans.
Since Huo Siyan was awake now, it was time for Ah Huang to go find Ye Qingqing.
And since Huo Siyan now had the Ability to protect himself...
That meant he could also deal with the zombies outside.
Thinking this, Ah Huang dashed toward the Cellar door.
