Chapter 1098: Chapter 522: Quagmire of Time, Picking Stones to Mend the Figure

Fang Mingyuan had seen too little and was easily struck down and had fallen into self-denial.

The examiners were different.

This was divine pollution, with an intensity that certainly reached above 8.0. Finding a way to evade the laws of contamination was unbelievably lucky.

It was as if they had picked up a second life.

Everyone treasured it dearly.

Without urging, they stood in the mire, eager to capture a big-bellied mud man as quickly as possible.

There weren’t many of the big-bellied mud men, and it was unclear if there would be enough for each person left, so everyone covertly exerted their full effort.

"I got one!"

Xia Hongyao caught another one, and with a smile, she trudged through deep and shallow mud to Lin Baici’s side, presenting it to him like a prized treasure.

"Give it to Qingqiu or Small Fish!"

Lin Baici wasn’t in a hurry.

"You should stop worrying about us all the time!"

Gu Qingqiu knew Lin Baici didn’t like her and was acting purely out of friendship; otherwise she might have thought he was a hopeless fawner: "Alumni, if we encounter rule contamination again in the future, you don’t have to help us."

"As long as you do your best to survive, even if we die, we would be very comforted!"

For Gu Qingqiu, cleansing rule contamination was like playing a game—death wasn’t frightening, but clearing the level was a must.

"Mm-hmm!"

Hua Yue Yu rushed to nod her head: "Quickly use it!"

At this point, Lin Baici didn’t stand on ceremony, took the mud creature, and held the Bronze Sword with his other hand, using the tip to pick at its belly.

Sss!

A line of blood burst open.

"Squeak!"

The mud man struggled violently.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Around Lin Baici, in the black mud, more than twenty mud men sprang out and pounced toward him, with sharp teeth and mouths, eager to bite and kill.

Xia Hongyao stood by his side, wielding a Black Blade Dagger, quickly slashing away.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Like playing Fruit Ninja, those mud men were sliced apart, limbs and legs dropping to the ground.

Squeak! Squeak!

The remaining mud men screamed and burrowed back into the mud.

Lin Baici squeezed with his left hand, and the fetus was partly pushed out of the mud man’s belly. As it began to cry, Lin Baici placed the pressed mud man beside the fetus.

The mud man immediately opened its eyes, like a mad dog starved for over ten days, grabbed the fetus and pulled it close, then bit down.

Crunch! Crunch!

The sound of chewing fresh meat filled one’s ears, chilling to the bone.

The mud man, not yet satisfied after eating the fetus, gobbled down half of another mud creature’s body before it felt fulfilled. Then it suddenly struggled, trying to escape from Lin Baici’s palm.

But Lin Baici had anticipated this.

The mud man did not escape and began to scratch frantically.

Lin Baici took a rope, tied it up, and carried it in his hand.

"Brother Lin, I caught one too!"

Long Miaomiao held up a mud man and called out happily.

The mud men were agile, but for Zhang Hao and Xie Yangchun, catching them was not too difficult. The problem was the scarcity of the creatures.

Xie Yangchun glanced over when he heard Long Miaomiao’s cry.

"If it were anyone else who caught the mud man, Deng Mingyu would have snatched it by now!"

Zhang Hao scoffed.

"Lin Baici’s deterrence is still great!"

Xie Yangchun sighed, how excellent must one be to make a Half-Step Dragon Level wary? "When we get out, let’s invite him for a seven-day tour in Beijing, have a good time and bond!"

At times like this, Xie Yangchun always envied Zhang Hao. Being a beautiful woman made it easier for her to make friends with men than it did for him.

"I think Lin Baici values emotions; we should try to win over more of his companions!"

Zhang Hao had high EQ and was shrewd. She took the initiative to split from Lin Baici. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing for her to compete for the mud men with everyone together.

"What are you doing? I found that mud man first!"

"But I caught it first!"

"If you didn’t catch it, it would be mine!"

"Bullshit, if I didn’t catch it, it would have run away!"

A struggle ensued.

Although they all belonged to the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, they came from different divisions and didn’t know each other before, so there was no emotional attachment.

Just like during a normal scenic tour where people might fight over cutting in line, let alone now over a mud man—this creature was a matter of life and death; who wouldn’t want to secure it first?

Deng Mingyu had captured a mud man, or else he himself would have gone to snatch.

Xie Yangchun and Zhang Hao weren’t that shameless, but they didn’t dissuade others from fighting either.

In the midst of rule contamination, whether you could survive depended on individual strength. And to think of it in an even darker way, since they had snatched from others, they should expect no complaints when they were robbed in turn.

So who had the most right to snatch from others?

Of course, it was the strongest among them—Xie Yangchun, Zhang Hao, and a few others.

"Here, take it!"

Long Miaomiao did as she said and handed the mud man to Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan was too embarrassed to take it: "Quick, eat it, don’t let anyone snatch it."

"Are you kidding? I’m Brother Lin’s loyal little... uh, sister, who dares to snatch from me?"

Long Miaomiao hummed proudly and stuffed the mud man into Fang Mingyuan’s hands: "Stop arguing, I’m faster at catching them than you!"

Fang Mingyuan clutched the mud man tightly, moved to tears.

As time passed, everyone had gained something.

It was just that the scene of feeding the fetus to the mud man was somewhat horrific.

"Does everyone have one?"

Gu Qingqiu looked around: "We can go to the sacrifice now!"

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Long Miaomiao had been impatiently waiting, eager to get out and have a big meal.

There were still about a dozen people who were less lucky and hadn’t caught a mud man to this point. Seeing Lin Baici and the others leaving, they became frantic.
