Chapter 98: Star-chasing Journey
Chapter 98: Star Chasing Journey (XVIII)
I won’t describe the specific scene, but in short, everyone on the scene couldn’t bear it after seeing and smelling it, and their spirits plummeted.
Fortunately, Liu Sheng had already blocked his nasal cavity with his hands, so it was still possible for a cultivator to hold his breath for a while.
At the same time, she turned her face away, pretending not to see it.
The only thing I didn't think through was that I didn't remind everyone in time.
Fortunately, the little tentacle didn't have too many thoughts on his mind and just worked hard, no matter how dirty or tiring the work was.
Just like that, as more and more flesh-colored tubes were pulled out, the prison ghost became weaker and weaker, and finally collapsed, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and the few remaining uniform ghosts collapsed into pools of flesh.
Everyone in the cell who had not been devoured was vomited out, and a rough count showed there were less than ten people.
Liu Sheng knew that the remaining people were probably completely devoured by the monster because they confessed their guilt. They could only turn into residue in the flesh-colored pipes and had no chance of coming back.
But what is the standard for confession?
Then Chen Shanyuan took out a disposable strange object collection container and put the monster in it while it was weak.
"When the time comes, we'll share the money with everyone after we sell it!"
No one had any objection, as this was agreed upon beforehand.
Since it is a strange thing that everyone encountered together, unless someone particularly wants to buy it with his own money, it is naturally more fair and reasonable to sell it to everyone at the same price.
After the prison ghost was taken in, all that was left before him was a devastated wilderness.
"Woo woo woo! Lord Ghost Master, I thought you were going to abandon me!" Yu Jinling's excited voice rang out in the wilderness.
Then Liu Sheng felt a soft body rushing towards him.
The little tentacle quickly reached out and gently pushed her away.
Wen Weilan carefully examined her from head to toe to see if she was still a human. Now, Wen Weilan had a similar radar to face strange creatures, and she didn't need a strange aura detector to spot strange creatures. Of course, if the creatures were higher level than her, it would still be difficult.
Yu Jinling didn't care much. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and thanked everyone solemnly.
Song Ru followed her silently and said thank you to her teammates softly, but her head was lowered and her expression could not be seen clearly.
But at least she heard her speak, which was better than no words before, and Yu Jinling felt a little relieved.
By counting, they rescued only eight other people. They should have been caught and thrown into jail earlier than Yu Jinling and Song Ru, so they all became stupid and dumb due to being eroded by the strange energy.
"What should we do with these people?" Yu Jinling said worriedly.
She and Chen Shanyuan were guiding them onto the flying car.
"We can only send them back to the Space Village first. They must have been captured from there... Wait!"
Chen Shanyuan suddenly grabbed the arm of the last man who got on the bus, looking excited.
The man tilted his head and looked at him in confusion, with a bewildered look on his face.
"Aren't you Lao Wang?" Chen Shanyuan looked carefully at the man's dirty face and shouted in surprise.
It’s a pity that this “Old Wang” didn’t react at all and got on the car on his own.
"Your acquaintance?" Yu Jinling asked curiously.
When Chen Shanyuan saw Lao Wang's confused look, he was so heartbroken that his back teeth were broken. He didn't answer the question and got into the car directly.
"Someone your captain knows?" Liu Sheng, who was repairing the car at the front of the flying car, saw that the calm Chen Shanyuan was rarely so excited, so he turned to ask Kuang Bowen.
Kuang Bowen took a look from a distance and nodded, "Yes, Wang Tiezhu, he is a drinking buddy of Shanyuan and he knows him from Liegui. I heard about this strange den when Shanyuan was drinking with him. He said that he was going to visit the strange den in Changxing Mountain Range, but he never came back."
Liu Sheng pondered: "So, for every batch of people who enter the Guitou Cave, some will become villagers, and some will join the star-chasing journey like us? And then there is a chance that they will be caught and imprisoned?"
"So what's the difference at the beginning?" "Also, after being imprisoned, can you get out without pleading guilty? Or are there any conditions?"
Everything is still too unclear now, even Liu Sheng can’t figure it out for a while.
"So you can repair the car while you are in a daze?" Kuang Bowen's voice suddenly sounded beside him, pulling Liu Sheng out of his thoughts.
Liu Sheng came back to his senses: "Why not?"
Several small tentacles with eyeballs stretched out from under the car, holding engraving pens and pliers, and shook their heads at Kuang Bowen to show their approval.
Then continue to be busy.
Kuang Bowen was so envious and jealous that his eyes turned red.
Liu Sheng seemed unaware: "What are you doing here? I can do it on my own."
The flying car was riddled with holes because of the forced acceleration, several collisions and the aftermath of the explosion, and many magic arrays were damaged. Now it had to be repaired if it was to be driven back to the Universe Village.
The expelled Kuang Bowen thought that if he couldn't stay here, he would find another place to stay. He clenched his fists, turned around and got into the car, ready to take out his homemade strange aura sensing talisman to check everyone to make sure they didn't bring any strange things back.
But a white, slender hand reached out and held his hand.
Wen Weilan said, "I wanted to tell you last time, don't waste your spells. I have a strange aura detector and I have just checked it for everyone."
She took out a piece of jade and showed it to Kuang Bowen.
"Can you show me this?" Kuang Bowen asked with a fixed gaze.
Wen Weilan thought it would be okay to take a look at it, so she handed it to him.
Unexpectedly, Kuang Bowen took it and looked through it carefully, and came to a conclusion: "This is not the one that came out of the weaving institute. It is homemade and does not have the weaving institute's logo."
Wen Weilan was speechless. He didn't expect that Kuang Bowen was so smart and connoisseur of goods.
Kuang Bowen suddenly realized: "She did it, right?"
He pointed in the direction of the front of the car.
Wen Weilan smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying.
"Yes...it can only be her..." Kuang Bowen murmured.
"What's going on between you and her?" Wen Weilan was a little curious and became alert.
Kuang Bowen sat down helplessly: "She... was my nightmare when I was in school."
"Liu...well, I won't tell you her name since you don't want to tell me. She entered Hanshan Academy and soon became known as the chief genius of the Department of Engineering." It was rare for him to find someone to confide in, so he told the story slowly.
"Although I am not a disciple of Hanshan Academy, Hanshan Academy is outside Chaosui City, which is quite close to our Chaosui Academy, so it is inevitable that the disciples of the two academies will have the intention to distinguish themselves from each other."
"Although I have a decent talent for spiritual communication, I prefer the art of nature. Moreover, my weapon-making skills are second to none in Chaosui Academy."
"After hearing about her reputation, I naturally wanted to compete with her!" Kuang Bowen said gritting his teeth.
Thinking back to the past, he stood outside Hanshan Academy, shouting loudly in the apricot blossoms and drizzle: "Kuang Bowen from Chaosui Academy's Tiangong Department wants to compete with the number one Tiangong Department of Hanshan Academy. I dare to ask if Hanshan Academy dares to accept the challenge!"
At that time, he was not the calm and low-key person he is now. Instead, he still had the arrogant and domineering look of a young man.
Many disciples of Hanshan Academy came out to see who was so arrogant that they dared to challenge the chief of Hanshan Tiangong.
Some kind-hearted people couldn't bear to see this and came up to persuade them, "Go back, Senior Sister Liu won't accept the challenge."
