Chapter 61: Strange and Delivered
Chapter 61: Strange and Delivered
"That is to say, except for the corpses and beings above Sequence 7, everyone else will surely die as long as they are here."
"What kind of unsolvable shit is this?"
"If it is allowed to go to crowded downtown areas and commercial streets, it will become a sea of blood and corpses, with skins flying everywhere."
When Li Yu asked this question in his heart.
The seventh bubble of truth has already been charged to more than half, and the speed is far faster than before.
Li Yu had never expected that a seemingly ordinary job application would lead him to accidentally run into something that no one could have imagined, and to get a glimpse of this secret and strange thing that almost all the people in Wanfu City were unaware of.
Fortunately, this is in the real world!
If he was in the strange spiritual world, Li Yu would even suspect that the disaster before him might have been caused by him, the "evil star".
After all, the member of Sequence 7 named Sang Zhu kept complaining about his bad luck, saying that such a bad thing had not happened in several years.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yu had discovered many secrets from this "forbidden ghost".
It even includes its weaknesses, as well as methods of containment or killing it.
But Li Yu couldn’t use them.
For example, there is a method: offer it some Monkey Wine from the [Ancient Black Forest] to make it drunk.
Although they are all useless, each piece of information can increase the charging progress of the Truth Bubble.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep watching like this.
Because the next moment, Li Yu found that this ghost thing was looking towards his area again.
"hiss!"
Without wasting even a second, he returned directly to his body.
Before the fear of death surged up, Li Yu didn't even bother to break the rules. He took out a pill with a crying face pattern on its surface from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth.
As the technique of taking the medicine started to work, his body began to mutate immediately: his heartbeat stopped, his muscles stiffened, and paleness spread all over his body. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, Li Yu became a corpse, and he exuded a sense of sadness.
In just one or two breaths, three more people died on the field.
And above Li Yu's head, a terrifying sucking mouth fell silently.
But soon, it paused.
The horrible head tilted, as if it was in a state of deep thought.
He was obviously wondering: why was the "living person" here two breaths ago dead now?
It doesn't want the skin of a dead person.
Especially the smell of a dead person is very unpleasant.
In the void, it slowly turned and walked towards its next victim.
"Pretending to be a corpse really worked. My life is saved for now."
"But this trip is a huge loss, so we have to get something back, like some rare secrets from the forbidden area."
Li Yu opened a pair of lifeless dead eyes, and then his soul of truth slightly separated from his body, and a rainbow palm reached into the skinned and strange empty body.
Touching corpses is common, but touching ghosts is not common.
His idea was that since the time limit of the power had not yet expired, it would be a waste not to use it.
And when he touched it, he really did find something. It was a mass of unknown substance that felt cold and sticky, and had a complex composition.
After Li Yu took it back into his arms and subconsciously asked questions in his mind, some related secrets gradually emerged:
"Guiyun sacrificial meat."
"This is a piece of special flesh and blood taken from the body of the [Skinning Forbidden Ghost]. It contains the ghost's original ghost essence and some of the power of rules. Because it has enjoyed many sacrifices, it has been contaminated with complex human qi and has been transformed into a strange object that can be used."
"This meat can be used as a material for alchemy, and can also be used to cook special medicinal food. It is also a Sequence 7 spiritual material from a mysterious source."
"If you carry this meat, you can get a certain degree of protection in the forbidden Wangui Tundra, but the range is not large."
"It has been determined that assimilation and theft are possible."
……
"Great, it paid off."
When Li Yu finished reading the relevant information, a slight curve suddenly appeared on his dead face.
During this job application, he inexplicably lost a Sorrow Pill and the sixth Bubble of Truth.
But after saving his life, he retrieved another rare and precious item.
He is not very knowledgeable now, but he has a say in alchemy and medicinal food. He is sure that if he uses this piece of "Weird Sacrifice Meat" to create his own recipe, he might be able to refine a Weird Pill that has some of the abilities of the Skinning and Weird Rules. The same goes for medicinal food.
If this really works, Li Yu will not only get his money back, but also make a profit.
Just when Li Yu was turning from annoyance to joy, the shrill alarm suddenly stopped, a hole appeared in the barrier, and a middle-aged man in colorful clothes flew in.
After seeing the horrifying scene of a river of blood, dozens of piles of scarlet bones, and skins flying everywhere in the small square, he couldn't help but frown.
Then he immediately pulled off a bag covered with colorful strips of cloth from his waist and threw it into the air, causing a strong wind to blow.
All the flesh, blood, and skin flew into it, and what shocked Li Yu was that the [Skinning Forbidden Trick] that was in a state of nothingness was actually pulled out and sucked into the colorful cloth bag.
Fortunately, he still had one breath of "Power of Truth" left at this time. After staring at the cloth bag, a secret emerged:
"Strange item: a colorful play bag."
"Derived from a special pathway sequence..."
Just when Li Yu was thinking about getting a glimpse of rare secrets again, his power ran out.
The extraordinary information came to an abrupt end. Immediately, Li Yu felt uncomfortable.
There is nothing more painful than being halfway through a secret and then suddenly losing it.
But soon, his mood turned to relief.
The middle-aged warrior, whose path sequence was unknown and who was dressed like a juggler, cleaned up the mess, then turned around and glared at all the members of the Ninth Pioneer Team.
His face was solemn, and he spoke in a hoarse and majestic voice:
"Two days ago, I praised your Ninth Pioneer Team for their outstanding achievements."
"We have caused such a big disaster today. Even a new pioneer team would not make such a mistake as bringing the 'gui' from the forbidden area back to the camp."
"All your merits for this month will be deducted."
"Deal with the aftermath. If this matter is reported in the Wanfu Daily, your merits for the whole year will be deducted."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and flew away again, not giving the Ninth Pioneer Team any chance to explain.
"It's unfair, Master Xu!"
"Something is fishy, Master Deacon. This hasn't happened in years. And the forbidden monster that sneaked in with me is obviously not of a high level, but it just refuses to eat the sacrifices we brought. Are we so unlucky..."
"Okay, stop arguing."
"A good recruitment has been ruined. With this, how can there be any good chefs joining our team...Huh?"
"There's still a survivor here!"
When the last sentence reached his ears, Li Yu had just eliminated the medicinal properties of the Sorrow Pill and returned to life.
When he heard this, he thought of what the powerful man dressed as a juggler said when he left, and his heart began to panic.
Alive?
What? Are you trying to silence me?
Li Yu raised his head and looked around, and found that all the applicants except him were dead.
Now, he and the Ninth Pioneer Team were the only ones still alive on this camp platform. Even the few camp staff members responsible for recruitment were killed by the Skinning Forbidden Ghost because they had not reached Sequence Seven and violated the rules.
A cool breeze blew, and the remaining smell of blood lingered around my nose.
"Is there no safe place in Wanfu City?"
"Even in the camp provided by the City Lord's Mansion for the pioneering team, such vicious incidents that almost resulted in death would occasionally occur?"
As he thought about it, Li Yu became more determined to escape from Wanfu City.
At the same time, the next moment, he found himself surrounded.
"This kid is very capable. He is the only one who survived. Could he also be a Sequence Seven?"
"Have you ever seen the cook of Sequence 7?"
"I have seen a blood slave of Forbidden God Path Sequence 7. He has strange means and is also a cook. He might be able to kill the captain."
"This boy is Sequence Eight, and has a strong medicinal aura. He should be good at refining pills or cooking medicinal food."
"Very handsome, I like it."
……
As Li Yu was whispering, six people had already stood around him, staring at him.
Li Yu took a quick glance and soon made some guesses about their pathway sequence.
Right in front of him was the two-meter-tall man in scarlet armor. The hammer in his hand was stained with blood, and his murderous aura was so strong that Li Yu felt as if his head might be smashed by him at any time.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Sequence Seven of the Blood God Path, whose name is unknown.
Before Li Yu could speak, the big man grinned, thinking he was very kind but actually ferocious, and said:
"Little brother, my name is 'Zhan Kui', I am the Blood God Path Sequence Seven [Blood Rider], and I am also the captain of the Ninth Pioneer Team."
"From today on, you will be the cook of my Ninth Pioneer Team."
Hearing this, Li Yu looked hesitant.
Then, he shook his head and refused:
"Thank you for your kindness, Captain. This matter is dangerous. I have decided not to apply for the job."
"Besides, my medicinal food skills are very ordinary, and the medicinal food I make is not only ineffective but also tastes bad."
"I have a mechanical maid at home waiting for me to bring back gifts. If anything happens to me, she has the authority to automatically report the news to the Tiangong Sect, and the Wanfu Daily will publish it urgently."
Besides the implicit threat in the last sentence, there were other reasons why Li Yu dared to refuse.
First, I did some investigation before coming here. Compared with the overlords of the four districts who have a long history of bad deeds, the style and discipline of the City Lord's Mansion are much better. The law that does not allow harming civilians is almost ignored by all practitioners, and only the people in the City Lord's Mansion still abide by it.
The second was his own subtle feeling that the six members of the Ninth Pioneer Team in front of him were not vicious perverts.
Of course, Li Yu was also mentally prepared.
Once the situation changes, he will immediately show flexibility and decisively change his mind and submit.
To save your life, it's not shameful.
