Chapter 96 Blood Rust Virus
Chapter 96 Blood Rust Virus
"Liu Tu attacked Yin Yang San Ren with a sword and was promoted to the sixth stage of the Golden Immortal Path [Master of the Law]..."
"Green Robe used forbidden techniques to cause hundreds of deaths in the West District. He also refined three Black Maitreya Path Sequence 7 Life-seeking Walkers into puppet corpses, thereby advancing them to Sequence 6 [Sick Corpses]."
"The youngest son of the Eastern District King, Zhao De, devoured hundreds of people non-stop within an hour and successfully passed the ceremony, advancing to the sixth level of the Forbidden God Path [Meat Envoy]."
"A nun named Li Xuanji from the West District successfully aroused the desires of tens of thousands of people in the West District by creating a miracle. She also used this method to extract their blood and essence, and successfully advanced to the fifth level of the Immaculate Buddha Mother Path [Madam Wonderful Appearance]."
……
"It's worthy of being called Wanfu City. You can do whatever you want."
"The citizens of the city are probably used to it. They are consumables themselves, and they also regard others as consumables. In short, whoever is ruthless will be in power, and whoever is strong will be free."
"But the people who caused trouble today should all be the Demon Star Lords."
Muttering these things, Li Yu returned to his own house.
Except for Liu Tu's promotion, which he witnessed with his own eyes, he heard all the other stories on the road or on the Monster Bus.
Wanfu City is unusually restless today.
Moreover, once something happens, the news spreads very quickly. Usually, it spreads throughout the city in less than half an hour after it happens.
Moreover, any "old city residents" who have a little experience are secretly speculating that there will be more disasters after nightfall.
Most people will choose to hide at home.
Staying at home may not necessarily avoid disasters.
But if you go out and wander around at this moment, the probability of being affected by the disaster will greatly increase, and no one is stupid.
Li Yu also made the same choice. Of course, he was doing it for his own promotion, so the first step was to refine all nine kinds of elixirs.
"red beans!"
"Protect me while I make the elixir."
"Good host!"
Amid the familiar conversation, the man and the servant had already gone to the alchemy room with their bags.
Today, Li Yu no longer needs the assistance of the alchemy furnace.
He directly started the "internal cultivation method" and began to refine the five pill recipes he had exchanged from the Demon Star Order.
He actually mixed six kinds, but he couldn't refine the strange ancient people's pill.
Soon, all five pills were successful.
Although the process of making the pill and the subsequent method of taking the pill are still somewhat disgusting and painful as always.
For example, after taking the martial arts pill, Li Yu can pretend to be a "martial artist" within a hundred breaths, but he will also suffer all kinds of pain, such as his hands and feet becoming deformed, and his internal organs being continuously tortured by the cleansing of internal energy, etc.
The ghost pill is even more terrifying. It targets Li Yu's heart and soul. Once taken, the soul will suffer within a hundred breaths.
The same is true for the following three kinds of pills.
"It seems that although the effects of these pill recipes created by our predecessors are good, the side effects are also not small."
"In comparison, my [Compassion Pill] and [Skinning Pill] are even better."
"Am I more talented in this area?"
While Li Yu was thinking, he began to refine the elixirs that he had used up in the strange domain.
The two elixirs are Sword Evil and Sorrow and Crying.
The refining process went very smoothly.
But for some reason, perhaps because he had seen and heard too many terrible disasters since the day, Li Yu began to feel uneasy and had a growing sense of bad premonitions.
He carried the Nine Pills and came to the courtyard with his fully armed maid.
Li Yu looked up at the night sky. Neon lights were flashing and airships were cruising, but there was not a single sign of a disaster.
But he still did not take it lightly and looked at his eye mask.
The eighth and ninth bubbles of truth were full, and the tenth bubble was slowly flashing and charging.
Even if he did not use this method, the Soul of Truth could still give him inspiration far beyond that of other practitioners.
Every whim has a reason.
"I am now a Sequence Eight, and I have a powerful maid like Hongdou by my side... Even if there may be disasters everywhere in Wanfu City tonight, it should not be difficult for me to save my life. Why do I feel this sense of crisis?"
"Unless someone wants to hold a promotion ceremony in Tianjifang, and it's for Sequence 5 and above?"
"Ok?"
"It can't be those three..."
It seemed as if it was to confirm Li Yu's premonition at the moment.
Tianjifang!
The terrifying factory that has made the people of Tianjifang tremble in recent days, like an ancient monster lying on the ground and sucking blood.
At this moment, it exploded without any warning.
Boom!
The entire Wanfu City heard this terrifying noise, both near and far, and the residents of the southern district could even see it with their own eyes.
As for the people of Tianjifang who were nearby, they felt it directly.
First, the earth shook, and then a huge mushroom cloud filled with flames and thick smoke rose up in the area. The dozens of buildings and houses nearby were directly shattered by the aftermath.
What was even more incredible was that as the mushroom cloud rose, a large amount of flesh, blood, and mechanical debris poured down like heavy rain.
At the same time, accompanied by a terrible shock wave, a certain kind of Qi spread in the blink of an eye and covered the entire Tianjifang, as well as several surrounding markets. The nearby City Lord Street was also affected.
The old street where Li Yu's residence is located is also unavoidable.
It was completely filled with a strange smell, which smelled slightly sweet and metallic, and then fishy, like the smell of rust and blood.
Although Li Yu wanted to escape with Hongdou as soon as the explosion happened.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Before he could move, the shock wave had passed, and then his nose was filled with the sweet and fishy smell of rust.
The technique of taking the medicine will allow it to run on its own.
In an instant, Li Yu's expression changed.
"Poisonous?"
As soon as this thought came out, extremely rich and detailed feedback came from Li Yu's body.
As a [Dan Tu], he has a strong resistance to poison and can analyze the poison and symptoms the fastest.
Most of the poisons have no effect on him, and even if they do work, Li Yu will quickly find an antidote.
But the toxicity he suffered at this time made him feel confused.
"What kind of poison is this? It attacks my flesh, blood, internal organs, skin, and even my bone marrow from all directions... Every part of my body is becoming heavy and functioning slowly. My blood vessels are showing signs of complete damage, and hallucinations are beginning to grow in my brain..."
"Hmm? What are these? Rust? Blood spots?"
Li Yu suddenly lowered his head and looked at the exposed skin on his arms.
On it, patches of scarlet blood suddenly appeared and spread rapidly.
The touch was strange. Li Yu reached out his hand and touched it. He found that there were a lot of dust-like foreign objects like sand and gravel in his palm. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a mixture of rust and blood.
"How can this be?"
"The blood, flesh, and bones in my body are being corroded little by little and turned into rust?"
"Is there such a poison in this world?"
Li Yu seemed to have seen something that shattered his worldview, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
The poison before me was indeed unexpected.
But what was truly horrifying was the change that happened to Hongdou the next moment.
"Drip drip!"
"Warning, warning... the body has been exposed to a dangerous environment... the body has been infected with an unknown virus..."
"The body is corroding... The durability of all parts is rapidly depleting... The abnormal rate of rust growth has exceeded ten thousand times... The virus is trying to attack the remaining secret core..."
"Activate the spiritual medicine module... Failed to activate it."
"Turn on the disinfection module... start disinfection!"
As these voices rang out, Li Yu suddenly turned his head to look.
At this time, Hongdou's body was also covered with red rust-like spots, and the speed of spread was even more alarming than that of his body.
Until the next moment, accompanied by the gushing of fragrant steam, all the parts and joints of Hongdou began to spew out the special flame that was previously used to "destroy the body and cover up all traces".
With a clattering sound, pieces of corroded rusty iron of varying sizes fell off Hongdou's body.
When the flames died down, the red beans had shrunk in size.
There is also consolation, and the mechanical voice comes out again:
“Disinfection completed!”
"The unknown virus that invaded the body has been expelled...but the body is still exposed to a dangerous environment...activate the self-defense module..."
"Already activated, the speed of spiritual energy consumption is twice as fast as before...it can last for three days."
After hearing this, Li Yu was surprised to see that his maid had become extremely excited.
Yes, literally hot.
Her entire mechanical body seemed to be placed in a furnace, being roasted red.
Seeing this scene, Li Yu also got inspiration.
"Elixir fire!"
As soon as he thought of it, a strange flame emerged from Li Yu's body without any roots, and swept through every corner and acupoint in the blink of an eye.
The rust and blood stains began to fade, but no pieces of iron fell off. Instead, grains of "bloody rust" seeped out from under Li Yu's skin and were blown away by the wind.
When all signs of poisoning disappear!
Li Yu seemed to have remembered something, and a storm suddenly arose in his mind.
The scene he recalled was: it was the accident he encountered when he smuggled out of the city earlier. The smuggling spaceship jointly operated by Holy Nest and the Three Saints Gang crashed and caught fire. In addition to a large number of rare treasures, there were also a number of mechanical soldiers called [Holy Blood Guards] lying in the cabin, and these soldiers happened to have rust and blood spots similar to the ones just now.
I didn't think much of it when I saw it at the time, I just thought it was some kind of pollution.
But now it seems that there is a close connection.
"This virus spread after the explosion of the flesh and blood factory, and inside that factory were the three leaders of the Three Saints Gang."
"They all surrendered to Holy Nest and accepted its flesh, blood and mechanical transformation. They tried to use this special method to jump to a special sequence called [Holy Skull Heavenly Soldiers]."
"This huge explosion obviously happened because of them. Did something unexpected happen during the transformation?"
"The materials that the smuggling ship wanted to smuggle were for the transformation of the Three Saints?"
"Could this accident have something to do with me?"
The reason for the last thought was that Li Yu suddenly remembered.
Although the smuggling attempt failed, the gains were considerable, not only allowing Hongdou to pick up a set of high-end weapons and equipment for free.
He also let Hongdou use his "high authority" to go into the smuggling ship and steal the most valuable item, a mechanical secret box that even Hongdou could not crack by brute force.
Afterwards, both the Holy Nest and the Three Saints went crazy because of the smuggling ship and searched everywhere in the Tundra, even preventing the pioneers from working normally.
Looking back now, those weapons and equipment that seemed high-end but were actually available for purchase were not enough to warrant the mobilization of troops in Holy Nest.
Unless, a more important treasure or secret is lost?
