Chapter 41 Entering the Strange Realm for the First Time
Chapter 41 Entering the Strange Realm for the First Time
He didn't hesitate for too long. He just grabbed a handful and put one in his mouth.
As soon as he started chewing, his whole face twisted, and then there was a look of painful surprise.
"It can restore Qi and blood, replenish nutrition, and has a healing effect similar to that of wound medicine."
"It's just foot odor. What bad luck."
"One more!"
"The effect is exactly the same, this time it smells like chicken shit."
"Come again!"
"The effect is the same, this time it's real beef flavor."
"The fourth one, the effect remains the same, and it has a spice flavor. This one is good."
"The fifth one, silt flavor?"
"The sixth one, huh? What's that smell? It's cold, smooth, and fragrant. Could it be the smell of the strange eel meat outside the city?"
Finally, at the sixth one, Li Yu stopped.
It’s not that he couldn’t stand the strange taste, but he was a little too full, and the magical effect had been proven to be complete.
He swallowed the meatball in his mouth with difficulty, then took out a huge yellow gourd that he had found from somewhere, and stuffed all the [Baiwei Meatballs] into it.
After doing all this, Li Yu returned to the main house carrying the gourd and red beans.
While putting on makeup and disguising herself, she took stock of all her preparations and waited silently for something.
"The fifth bubble is fully charged and is our greatest reliance."
"If I eat all of the Compassion Pills, I can maintain my combat power for at least one stick of incense, similar to that of Yi Ya."
"There are twenty-eight Explosive Flame Pills. Throwing one out probably won't hurt any cultivator, even if they are only Sequence Eight. But if you throw a handful out unexpectedly, there is a chance that one or two of them will be killed."
"Five Shenzu Pills, specially for escaping. After taking them, you can travel as fast as the wind, a thousand miles a day."
"A gourd of 100-flavor meatballs can heal wounds, satisfy your hunger, and restore your qi and blood."
"If we can bring red beans in, then it should be safe."
"Logically speaking, in this kind of life-threatening game with an infinite cycle, even if the mortality rate is high, the first dungeon secret realm will give some chance of survival. If I can't survive with all my preparations, or even gain anything, it would be totally unfair."
Almost at the moment when Li Yu finished speaking, it appeared in his mind.
The familiar voice of the demon star sounded without warning:
"The time has come!"
"Please prepare yourself, Lord Codenamed 'Star of Misfortune'. This call will take effect in ten breaths."
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
……
The countdown began. Li Yu, who had already put on several layers of human skin masks, took out a funny fox face mask and put it on.
At the same time, he didn't care about how good it looked, he went forward and hugged Hongdou's mechanical body tightly, he was still jealous and reluctant to give up such a big help.
The latter, after receiving Li Yu's instructions, was also fully armed.
"It's really watertight. The relevant rules have not been leaked. Do you really want me to test it myself?"
"Isn't it really so disgusting that all my preparations will go to waste?"
As he finished complaining about his worries, the countdown ended.
Without giving him any chance to observe and feel, Li Yu just felt dazed.
When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in his home, but in a protective shield made of strange starlight.
Li Yu scanned the surroundings to see if there was any danger, while at the same time checking how many things he had brought in.
The yellow gourd filled with meatballs of various flavors, in.
Two wooden boxes containing Explosive Flame Pills and Divine Foot Pills were hidden in his arms.
The Compassion Pill was also in his arms.
I didn’t bring the compassionate knife.
Hongdou didn’t come either.
Feeling this, Li Yu had a guess in his mind in the blink of an eye:
"The Demon Star Commander can indeed bring things from the outside world into the strange spiritual world."
"But most likely you can only carry things related to your cultivation path and sequence, so these elixirs and medicinal foods are all allowed, only the Compassionate Heart Knife and red beans are excluded."
"In this case, wouldn't the practitioners of the Tiangong Sect have a great advantage? If they bring a bunch of Tiangong artifacts with them, wouldn't they be able to kill through every strange realm?"
"No, that's not right. Those practitioners who have powerful backers and deep pockets in the same path are the ones who benefit the most."
"Fuck, this is already such a thrilling and weird world, and you're still using this trick."
These thoughts may sound complicated, but they flashed through his mind in an instant.
Although he did not bring weapons for killing and his lovely maid, Li Yu felt more at ease with a few things that could save his life.
Until the next moment, the surroundings came into his eyes:
What appeared to be in front of me was a dirty ancient street, with feces and urine all over the place and garbage everywhere.
That would be fine, but the scary thing is that there are a large number of strange-looking "zombies" walking back and forth with sluggish steps.
They all seemed to be ancient mortals, ragged, skinny, and rotten. Many zombies had bite marks all over their bodies, their skin rotten, revealing their rotten internal organs, and bloody intestines dragging on the ground. Looking further away, the number of zombies did not decrease at all, wandering alone or in groups.
Weird thing is!
These zombies seemed unable to see or smell Li Yu's presence.
He walked around the protective shield, completely ignoring Li Yu, who had fresh flesh and blood inside.
"Is this the strange territory?"
"Am I the only Demon Star Commander? What about the others...?"
Li Yu was just beginning to feel doubtful.
The next moment, a cold and solemn notice suddenly rang through his mind:
"The mission begins!"
"During the Warring States Period, there was a small country near the East China Sea called Sui... One day, fishermen from that country accidentally fished out the corpse of a female fairy at sea. It was lifelike, as if it were alive, and even had a whale beast in the sea to accompany and protect it. The fishermen presented it to the king in the name of [The Remains of the Penglai Female Fairy]. The king was very happy. At first, he just thought it was a good omen, but then he gradually became crazy about it and even had the idea of marrying the corpse of the female fairy."
"Who would have thought that on the wedding day, something unexpected happened. Fragrant clouds and poisonous mists emanated from the fairy's body, transforming the entire palace and everyone in the capital into a monster called 'medicine corpse'."
"Immortal, tireless, and fond of nibbling on human flesh."
……
After hearing this passage, Li Yu couldn't suppress his desire to complain.
What is necrophilia?
What zombie plot?
You don’t want me to steal the bride, do you?
Before he could finish these strange thoughts, the solemn and murderous voice from the Demon Star Order continued to come:
"There are a total of seven Demon Star Commanders deployed this time."
"Spy on the Samsara Skynet in advance, there are thirteen Samsaras."
"Main Quest 1: Seize the [Penglai Fairy Corpse] as a sacrifice, and you will receive 1,000 merit points."
"Main Quest 2: For each reincarnation killed, you can obtain different merit points according to the opponent's path sequence. For example, if you kill the path sequence eight of the Heavenly Lord under Haotian [Taoist with Scripture], you can obtain 100 merit points."
"Please explore the remaining side quests on your own."
"Please explore the functions of merit points and other rules on your own."
"Anything the Demon Star Commander gains during the mission can be taken out of the Weird Domain."
"If the Demon Star Commander fails to complete any of the main or side quests at the end of this expedition, he will be wiped out."
"Its Demon Star Order must be recast and a new master chosen."
"The demon star shield will disappear in thirty breaths. All demon star commanders please be prepared."
……
When the bombardment of these cold sounds ended, a strong sense of déjà vu began to emerge in Li Yu's mind.
At this point, he was already extremely certain that even if Fuxi, the god of craftsman that the Tiangong Sect followed and believed in, was not his fellow villager, he had most likely visited his hometown.
Everyone knows that these "rules" of the Demon Star Order were set up by a group of evil gods in imitation of the Samsara Skynet. They are secondary creations and plagiarism.
And these were clearly common rules in a certain type of novel that he often read in his previous life.
If he guessed correctly, those merit points should be able to be exchanged for various rewards at the Demon Star afterwards.
Maybe, that thing will be set up as a big ball of light.
"What a shame, the birth point is too wrong."
"The Tiangong Sect is... huh?"
Li Yu stopped muttering in time. Since he had made a mistake, the right thing to do was to survive first.
Judging from the two main tasks!
The hatred between good and evil has reached the point of life and death.
So much so that the Demon Star Order was originally created to offer rewards for merit, encouraging the leaders of the order to hunt down the reincarnations of the Orthodox God sect.
Li Yu glanced at the countdown of thirty breaths and the large number of so-called drug corpses around him, and quickly thought about what to do.
"There are two main quests. The first one is probably the most difficult. To complete it, you must go to the most dangerous palace. I just don't know if the final boss is the king with a perverted hobby or the corpse of the Penglai fairy?"
"Second, it's purely a personal vendetta between the evil gods. If you want to carry out a vendetta, at least arrange for the two to be evenly matched."
"With seven against thirteen, who has the advantage? Needless to say?"
"As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. I'm new here, so the best strategy is to hide and watch the show."
"It's just that these drug corpses are really troublesome. Hey, wait, drug corpses...?"
When half of the thirty breaths had passed, Li Yu, who was calculating, seemed to have made a pleasant and unexpected discovery.
Regardless of the nausea, he suddenly moved to the edge of the protective shield, just in time to "look at" a female zombie dressed as a country woman, who still had a graceful demeanor, had no bite marks on her body, but blood all over her mouth. They "met" each other through the radiance of the demon star.
The female zombie couldn't see him, but that didn't stop Li Yu from looking through her tattered clothes and seeing the bulge on the side of her heart on her chest.
A Ganoderma lucidum!
It was incredible, but Li Yu saw it clearly.
There was indeed a Ganoderma lucidum stained with filthy flesh and blood growing there. As the female zombie moved, the Ganoderma lucidum trembled and released some spore powder.
Li Yu suddenly understood why these zombies were called drug corpses.
