Chapter 296: 295. You’re really dirty_1 Chapter 296: 295. You’re really dirty_1 Advancing through the typhoon was extremely difficult.

According to Lu Ban’s estimation, the current wind force must have exceeded level sixteen, with peak wind speeds surpassing fifty meters per second. Combined with the heavy rain, it was akin to bullets directly striking the body.

Umbrellas were utterly useless, and raincoats made it easier for the wind to lift you off your feet. Lu Ban, carrying a small backpack, walked in the rain, under the illusion that Doomsday had arrived.

Laika shook off the water from its body, but the next second it was soaked again. It simply opened its mouth and freed itself from the form of a Corgi, reverting to that fierce and terrifying monster shape.

Lu Ban felt that if he kept getting drenched like this, grass would grow three feet tall on his body. He turned back to look at Feng Yu.

There was not a single drop of rain on Feng Yu.

All the rainwater seemed to shy away from her, veering aside to form an invisible barrier.

“Is this magic?”

Lu Ban thought of the spell barriers of the Night Country, but those barriers would always make Lu Ban clearly feel there was “something” in between, like invisible glass. However, around Feng Yu, there was nothing at all.

The raindrops just happened to, or intentionally, avoid Feng Yu.

This feeling led Lu Ban to believe that even if Feng Yu walked through a battlefield of intense fighting, the bullets and shells, including the shrapnel and shattered rocks, would also bypass her.

“Explaining it is complicated, you can understand it as Racial Talent,” Feng Yu said, without stopping to explain, but instead she walked briskly towards the ruins.

When the two arrived at the location where the lightning had struck, those three people were naturally gone.

Lu Ban bent down and examined the footprints on the soil. Those people had not tried to conceal their tracks and had headed straight for the tomb of some king within the Nan Madol Ruins.

“Is this the work of a Chosen by Gods?”

Lu Ban could only think of this.

People who suddenly appeared amidst the abnormally fierce weather, accompanied by lightning, clearly exhibited the characteristics of a Chosen by Gods crossing into a Foreign Domain.

So was he supposed to help a Chosen by Gods complete their mission again?

Lu Ban wasn’t keen on working for nothing.

If Silence Points could be traded… Right, he could totally charge protection fees to the Chosen by Gods who crossed into this world, letting them use the merchandise from the Silent Department Store as a toll. Little by little, accumulating over time, by the time trading function opened up, he could sell all the goods that the Chosen by Gods left behind for the construction of this world, making a fortune.

He suddenly felt expectant again.

“Yes, and no,” Feng Yu shook her head.

While heading towards the direction of the tomb, she spoke.

“What do you mean?”

Lu Ban became slightly more cautious. Under such circumstances, if it wasn’t a Chosen by Gods, then it was certainly not any kind of friendly visitor.

One must always be careful with entities related to the Foreign Domain or the Evil God.

“Have you ever wondered why it’s called the Silent Lands?”

Feng Yu arrived at the entrance of the tomb. It was starkly different from when they had explored it during good weather. The shattered, fallen, collapsed columns now stood intact, as if they had never been destroyed.

The obelisk-like towers, the columns with intricate patterns, and the walls carved by skilled craftsmen over decades appeared as if they had traveled through time, presenting themselves before Lu Ban.

“What Silent Lands? If not the Silent Lands, what else could it be?”

Lu Ban glanced at the open doors of the tomb, which were dark and mysterious, the end invisible, and no sound from within could be heard.

“Give me your hand.”

Feng Yu stretched out her hand towards Lu Ban.

The moment Lu Ban grasped that hand, Feng Yu disappeared.

No, to be precise, Feng Yu as a human disappeared.

Laika stepped back and let out a deep growl towards Lu Ban, but did nothing to prevent what happened next.

Feng Yu, in an instant, melted away like melting into a white mist, wrapping around Lu Ban, and with his breath, flowed into his body.

All the changes occurred in just an instant, and Lu Ban hadn’t even had time to react.

“Your body is really dirty inside.”

Feng Yu’s voice, however, arose in Lu Ban’s eardrums.

“?”

Lu Ban couldn’t help but produce a question mark in his mind.

“How come, you’re getting excited because a pretty girl has entered your body?”

Feng Yu’s teasing voice rang out again beside Lu Ban’s ear.

“What is this…”

Lu Ban began to ask, worried that Feng Yu might be trying to possess his body.

“Pay attention to your surroundings.”

Feng Yu didn’t explain but instead prompted Lu Ban with a reminder.

That’s when Lu Ban noticed that all the raindrops were avoiding him, just like they had previously avoided Feng Yu.

He raised his hand to try to touch them but discovered that all the raindrops skillfully dodged his fingers, not a single one landing in his palm.

“The next part might be hard to accept, but you should be fine.”

No sooner had Feng Yu’s words fallen than Lu Ban felt the scenery around him disappear.

No, it wasn’t that Feng Yu had taken his vision, or that everything around had plunged into darkness.

“Light is avoiding me?”

Lu Ban quickly realized.

Just as the raindrops had avoided Feng Yu, now all the light was avoiding Lu Ban.

Visually, Lu Ban was in a state similar to invisible, but since human vision is based on the reception of information after light strikes the eyeball, once all the light bypassed Lu Ban, he also lost his vision.

Fortunately, Lu Ban himself possessed “True Sight.”

Now, in his eyes, the world was reconstructed once again.

However, it wasn’t the scenery composed of light’s reflection but rather a more fundamental display of shapes, like these pillars, which, in Lu Ban’s eyes, didn’t actually look like pillars but could still be instantly recognized by him as such.

And then there was Laika, even though it currently displayed a Corgi’s disguising facade, Lu Ban could still tell it was a Hunter, a hunter that preys on those who traverse the Foreign Domain.

It was a vision that cut through falsehood, reaching directly to the essence.

As a result, in Lu Ban’s eyes, the city became increasingly terrifying.

Those stone pillars, walls, high towers, they were far from human creations; they were the playthings carved by the whimsical, indescribable greatness of some mighty existence. Each pattern and character on those pillars revealed distortion and madness, staring at them made Lu Ban feel dizzy and instinctively nauseated. He averted his gaze, focusing on what lay ahead.

He saw, in the profound darkness, in the underground tomb, three people.

At this moment, through “True Sight,” their essences were conveyed to Lu Ban.

Indeed, as Feng Yu had said, they were both Chosen by Gods and yet not Chosen by Gods.

Upon grasping this fact, Lu Ban felt a surge of warmth rise within him, his nose, eyes, mouth, and ears started to bleed a ghastly red, reeking of fish. In just the few seconds that he took note of this, three of his internal organs burst, and his brain temperature soared dramatically, steaming even in the midst of the cold rain.

The next moment, more green vegetation attempted to plug the ruptured blood vessels and repair the damaged organs.

“It’s still too dangerous after all.”

Feng Yu’s voice rang out again on Lu Ban’s already ruptured eardrums, and he seemed to hear a sigh. Shortly thereafter, Lu Ban felt his body grow intensely hot, the vegetation driven by another, more absolute force. His body, which could have been declared incurable from a human medical perspective, was repaired with astonishing speed.

In a place beyond Lu Ban’s sight, countless tendrils sprouted within the wounds, intertwining and forming the perfect sutures that even the most skilled surgeon could not accomplish. In just moments, Lu Ban felt his body’s injuries being mended.

In the meantime, as a price for this Corrosion, Lu Ban gained the knowledge that Feng Yu hadn’t directly shared with him.

Why it is the Silent Lands.

Why there is a Silent Chosen One.

Why these people are both Chosen by Gods and not.

The answer was incredibly simple, laughably so.

Because there was more than one god.
