Chapter 378

A few minutes later.

Chen Hao appeared in Lu Fengfeng’s office.

"Fengfeng, help me check and see if there is any ability that can isolate vitality!"

"Isolate vitality?"

"What are you looking for this for?"

The battle with Zhao Xuecheng and the others made Chen Hao feel that he needed such an ability.

Otherwise, these guys were like cockroaches that couldn't be killed.

As long as they were given time, no matter how serious their injuries were, they could recover quickly.

In order to prevent encountering such guys in the future.

Chen Hao intended to prepare such an ability to prevent trouble before it happened.

Lu Fengfeng began to type on the keyboard.

She searched for a while.

The result, however, was a great disappointment.

The ability Chen Hao wanted was too heaven-defying.

It was basically impossible to exist.

"It's okay, I'll go ask someone else."

Chen Hao headed to the Killing Tower.

As soon as he arrived, the uncle at the bar counter took a look at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao nodded at the uncle and then walked into the secret room in the back.

Chen Ziyan was sitting with her legs crossed, scrolling through her phone.

She saw someone enter, looked up, and discovered it was Chen Hao.

Her face turned black instantly.

"What do you think?"

"Hmph!"

Chen Ziyan snorted coldly and said, "You are simply not human."

"Even the Monkey King only fought the White Bone Demon three times."

"You are just like an ox; do you not let people live?"

It could be seen that Chen Ziyan had deep resentment.

Seeing this, Chen Hao smiled slightly and said, "Alright, don't be angry!"

"I came to find you today because there is something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

Chen Ziyan glared at Chen Hao.

"I knew you guy had no good intentions; you only come to find me whenever you need something."

Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders.

"Just trouble yourself this one time."

"I need an ability that can isolate vitality."

"You have so many problems!"

Chen Ziyan complained with her mouth, but her hands didn't stop.

Before long, she helped Chen Hao find the information.

"This guy, I heard he possesses a hand of corrosion power; it might be what you want."

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao looked at the information and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?"

"Did you forget the rules?"

"Rules?"

Chen Hao looked in the direction Chen Ziyan was pointing.

On a shelf not far away, task scrolls were placed.

"No way around it, rules are rules!"

"After all, I am using the Killing Tower’s account."

"I understand!"

Chen Hao did not make things difficult for Chen Ziyan; he walked to the task shelf very sensibly and took down a task scroll.

He opened the task scroll.

After reading it, Chen Hao was slightly stunned.

"This task..."

"What's wrong with this task?"

"Can I say I’ve already completed this task?"

"You completed it? No way."

Chen Ziyan couldn't believe it; she stepped forward and grabbed the task scroll from Chen Hao’s hand.

This task required Chen Hao to kill someone, and that person was none other than Zhao Xuecheng.

"Are you sure you killed Zhao Xuecheng?"

"Do I have any need to lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyan nodded.

"Then does this count as completed?"

"Mm."

Chen Ziyan didn't expect Chen Hao to be such a freak, actually completing the task before it was even released.

"By the way, aren't you going to find that guy?"

"Take me with you."

"Take you?"

"What? Do you look down on me?"

"If you are willing to come, I am naturally happy."

Chen Hao and Chen Ziyan went together to where that guy was located.

"This is a large cemetery; I heard it is the cemetery of a saint, so you have to be careful."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao smiled slightly.

Chen Ziyan was a typical case of a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

She didn't have to come this time, but worried that Chen Hao would have problems, so she followed along.

The two headed toward the depths of the large cemetery.

"What is that smell?"

Chen Ziyan pinched her nose.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao shone the flashlight in his hand toward the front.

"Nothing, just a few corpses."

The few corpses in front had been dead for a while, and white maggots had grown on the surface of their bodies.

Chen Hao took Chen Ziyan, stepped over these corpses, and continued walking forward.

Along the way, they were particularly careful.

However, some things are not useful just by being careful.

Boom!

The two stepped into empty space and fell toward the ground.

Originally, Chen Hao and the others were prepared to fly upward, but a huge stone fell from the top.

Chen Hao and the others had no choice but to fall to the ground.

After landing, Chen Hao held Chen Ziyan and ran forward for a distance.

Boom!

The stone also fell down, crashing heavily onto the ground, creating a deep pit.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Chen Ziyan looked around with lingering fear.

"The environment here is quite nice!"

Chen Ziyan discovered that there was actually an underground river inside, and the surroundings were covered with glowing mushrooms.

Many butterflies emitting fluorescence were flying back and forth among those mushrooms.

A butterfly flew toward Chen Ziyan.

Seeing this, Chen Hao opened his mouth, and a mouthful of flames was sprayed out.

The scorching flames directly burned the butterfly to death.

"This thing is a Soul-Bewitching Butterfly; touching it will make you fall into a coma."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyan wisely closed the mouth she had just opened.

The two began to walk inside along the underground river.

"Are you sure this guy possesses corrosion power?"

"Who knows?"

"The Killing Tower’s information shows that this is a saint’s tomb."

"It says inside that this guy was called the Corrosion Emperor during his lifetime; he should possess corrosion power, right?"

"Alright."

Chen Hao and Chen Ziyan chatted while walking.

As a result, they discovered a campfire not far away.

An old man dressed in rags was eating something there.

He saw Chen Hao and Chen Ziyan and said with a smile, "Two little dolls, do you want to eat together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao looked toward the thing in the old man’s hand.

Although that thing was roasted pitch-black, through the shape, Chen Hao could still tell that it was a mushroom.

"These mushrooms are poisonous; I think it would be better if you didn't eat so many."

When the old man heard this, his expression changed instantly.

"You little doll, at such a young age, you actually don't read books; you have no knowledge at all."

"You guys, one after another, are all like this."

"I’ve said it so many times, the mushrooms have no problem; the problem is the people."

"It’s because people didn't roast the mushrooms thoroughly that they are poisonous."

The old man’s theory made the corner of Chen Hao’s mouth twitch.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, everything you say is correct."

Chen Hao didn't want to argue with the old man.

This was clearly a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin—not recognizing a good heart!

He took Chen Ziyan and continued walking forward.

"Stop!"

The old man suddenly stopped Chen Hao.

"Young man, you must be careful! The one beside you is a fox spirit!"

"She will suck the essence of men."

When Chen Hao heard this, he was amused.

He had already witnessed the fact that Chen Ziyan would suck the essence of men.

When Chen Ziyan heard the old man say this, she was instantly unhappy.

"You are the fox spirit."

"Hey, you actually dare to be fierce with me? Do you believe I’ll beat you to death with a stick?"

"Although I, Hong, am not strong, my Dog-Beating Stick Technique is still quite good."

"Dogs and foxes are about the same; they should both be beaten to death with one stick."

"You, Hong?"

"That's right, I am Hong Bagong, the 999th leader of the Beggar Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but shake his head.

The old man in front of him had eaten too many mushrooms and was now a bit delirious.

However, it had to be said that the old man’s strength was okay.

Sovereign Realm Tier 1.

If it were the previous Chen Hao, he might have respected him three points.

But now, Chen Hao was at Sovereign Realm Tier 4.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Why are you so impolite? We were just talking, and you are going to walk inside."

Hong Bagong blocked Chen Hao and the others with the wooden stick in his hand.
