Chapter 1115: Chapter 527: Thanks to the Gift of Nature, Let’s Eat!_4

But the problem was, what if the deity that resembled a jellyfish ran away?

Could "Life Mastery" be used to control it?

Lin Baici was distracted with searching for people when suddenly an arm shot out from the depths of the ground, gripping his ankle.

Crack!

Lin Baici stumbled.

He thought it was a companion, and was about to bend down to help when, in the next instant, upon seeing the hand and the sleeve, his face changed dramatically.

Swoosh!

Lin Baici drew the bronze sword that hung at his waist and slashed at it.

A streak of green bronze light flashed by, and then abruptly stopped.

The arm’s index and middle fingers firmly pinched the blade, followed by the ground exploding.

Boom!

Black mud scattered.

Lin Baici retreated swiftly.

A man with a dispirited and somewhat sloppy appearance appeared, apparently having used some Taboo things so his body was not smeared with black mud.

"Hey, you’re pretty strong, huh?"

The man reached into his pocket, took out a packet of cigarettes, and with a flick of his hand, a cigarette popped out of the pack and flew to his mouth.

The man leaned forward slightly and bit the cigarette, then with a snap of his left hand, he ignited a golden flame on his index finger.

"Red Medicine, want one?"

He lit the cigarette, took a nice deep drag, held the smoke in his lungs for about seven or eight seconds before exhaling.

"Are you a member of Dark Erosion?"

Lin Baici narrowed his eyes; this guy was Li Xiang, An Yi Xian had said that he was with Li Chenguang.

"Yes!"

Li Xiang admitted, taunting Lin Baici, "Are you scared? After all, our organization has a terrible reputation."

"..."

Lin Baici remained silent.

"I want to say, those rumors about us are no misunderstanding, there’s not a single good person in Dark Erosion!"

Li Xiang said, half-mockingly, half-threateningly, "So, can you give me that clay pot?"

"Little Linzi!"

Xia Hongyao saw this, her expression filled with urgency, and she immediately rushed over.

"Why don’t you rob it?"

Lin Baici countered.

Li Xiang glanced at Xia Hongyao, not taking her seriously at all: "Because I fancy you!"

Li Xiang, lurking among the candidates, had witnessed Lin Baici conducting the examination and purifying the Luoyang Seven Towns, especially during the last rule contamination; his performance had been dazzling.

"The organization also needs fresh blood to grow and thrive, but we don’t care for ordinary geniuses."

Li Xiang took another drag of his cigarette, "What do you say?"

Long Miaomiao, dragging Fang Mingyuan, pushed through the black mud, revealing their heads.

Li Xiang looked over.

"Uh..."

Long Miaomiao’s head shrank back, and then she pulled the unconscious Fang Mingyuan back down with her.

That person was frightening, emanating a very strange aura.

[A foul creature, neither human nor divine, hard to kill, and yet there’s no gain in killing it.]

[A loss-making deal.]

[It’s advised to steer clear.]

"An artificial monster?"

Lin Baici’s comprehension was good; he surmised from the Eater God’s message that the man in front of him might have done some ’surgery’ to his own body.

"My sincerity is substantial, just kill this Xia Hongyao and you’ll be one of us."

Li Xiang persuaded, "Don’t worry, you won’t have to leave your home or live a life of hiding; you will still be the superstar newcomer of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, and we might even help you climb the ranks to become a high official."

"Little Linzi will never join you!"

Xia Hongyao pouted; she had great trust in Lin Baici’s character.

"I can’t beat her!"

Lin Baici spread his hands.

"You’re being modest!"

Li Xiang laughed heartily, "But no matter, I can help you beat her half to death. You just finish her off with a stab."

"No, I’m living a good life as it is. With a yearly salary of a hundred million, attending university, chasing any beauty I fancy, and my social status isn’t bad either. Why would I join you?"

Lin Baici countered, "As for becoming an official, I’m not interested!"

"What about becoming a deity then?"

Li Xiang smiled, full of confidence, he couldn’t believe the other party wouldn’t be interested. "Having a human body, standing shoulder to shoulder with the deities—it sounds cool. But why not directly become a deity instead?"

"Because all those God Hunter Organizations around the world—the Sky God Club, Illumination Hermit Association, Jiuzhou Security Bureau, Dayao, and so on—they can’t do it!"

"Only we of the Dark Erosion stand at the threshold of godhood!"

Gu Qingqiu wasn’t playing dead, standing there, quietly listening.

Li Xiang couldn’t help but glance at the girl.

Gu Qingqiu met his gaze and smiled slightly.

"Haha, interesting!"

Li Xiang took a puff of his cigarette. He could see that Lin Baici had no interest in what he referred to as godhood. However, this girl, who seemed somewhat frail and sickly, was full of curiosity.

"You say Dark Erosion is full of Dragon Level experts, I believe that. You say you can become gods? Please, my sister couldn’t even figure it out!"

Xia Hongyao snorted in disdain.

In High Ponytail’s eyes, her older sister was the most formidable amongst all the God Hunters, be it in combat abilities, vision, or knowledge.

"You know too little about your sister!"

Li Xiang blew a smoke ring. "That’s also why I dare to kill you. Your ignorance shows Xia Hongmian doesn’t value you!"

Xia Hongyao gripped her dagger tightly, annoyed by his words.

"What can being a deity do for you anyway? Live a few more years?"

Lin Baici chuckled.

Deities?

Are they so great?

I’ve consumed The Hungry God before. Nutrition was rich, but as for the taste, average at best—not as fragrant as the cumin-laden lamb skewers you get from street stalls.

"Ts ts!"

Li Xiang shook his head, looking like he found it impossible to educate Lin Baici. "You know there’s a chance to become a deity. What more is there to explain?"

"Stop the nonsense, let’s take him out!"

Xia Hongyao was itching to go.

Lin Baici raised his hand to stop High Ponytail. "One more question. The contamination spreading from these Divine Ruins, did you cause that?"

"I appreciate you, so I’ll give you an answer!"

Li Xiang looked around. "My mission was to test the pseudo-deity number 156. At first, I too thought that it was 156’s actions that caused the God’s bones of Luoyang Seven Towns to awaken, but I soon realized that wasn’t the case!"

"I’m also looking for the answer!"

Li Xiang stared into Lin Baici’s eyes, then glanced at the ceramic pot he was holding in his left hand. "Can you explain why you touched the deity with your bare hands and weren’t contaminated?"

He hadn’t seen what was inside, but something there gave off a scent that was both familiar and strange to him, causing his heart to race with nervousness, panic, yet also anticipation.

Could it be a deity?

Although uncertain, that did not stop Li Xiang from trying to bluff Lin Baici.

"A deity?"

Lin Baici pretended to be astonished, his body even trembling as if he was scared, then looked towards the ceramic pot.

"Alright, now that we’ve talked, do you choose to join or to die here with your comrades?"

Li Xiang spoke while flicking the ash from his finger.

"I choose to kill you!"

Lin Baici knew he couldn’t avoid it any longer, so he reached into the ceramic pot, grabbed the Jellyfish Deity, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit down.

Consume a deity, tackle a formidable foe!

"..."

Li Xiang was about to make a move, but upon seeing this scene, he held back, his face showing shock and curiosity!

Interesting!

Truly interesting!

Could he be Jiuzhou Security Bureau’s latest creation?

No,

The Security Bureau’s research on God’s bones hadn’t reached this level. So, it was Golden Dawn’s methods, huh?
