Kapitel 65: Section 66: The Fall Is Imminent

Huang Zao was extremely thirsty.

His throat felt as if a sun was jammed inside it, his entire pharynx and the root of his tongue seemed half-cooked, rendering him utterly speechless.

Huang Zao was extremely hungry.

He was so famished that his stomach clung to his spine, his body felt weak, and he staggered as he walked, dizzy and even hallucinating.

In his hallucination, he felt as if he was walking among clouds. Yet, he bore the weight of a mountain on his body.

The mountain was so heavy, it threatened to flatten him into paper.

Soon, the mountain morphed into a devil with goat horns.

The devil opened its gaping mouth, shrieking in his ear—Eat this! Eat you! Eat you!

Huang Zao was terrified to the extreme, wanting to throw off the mountain or the devil on his back. But his arms, his hands, wouldn't obey him and were numb, simply carrying that mountain or devil.

Then, quite swiftly, the devil on his back transformed again.

It turned into a suckling pig.
