Chapter 1022

This is also a lucky thing.

Zong Shu quickly made a choice.

Regarding this, Chen Ang naturally laughed at him generously.

"Didn't you want to leave? Why aren't you leaving?"

"If I leave, who will pick up these things for you? What if there are some good treasures inside? Wouldn't that be a pity?"

Although nether creatures don't explode with any top-notch things, there are always essential evolutionary materials on them.

Although he didn't know if others were like this, for him, among the materials he had just picked up, there were already quite a few that he needed.

Chen Ang didn't pay any more attention to him, and his eyes gradually became grave.

Although he had been killing monsters all along, in fact, he was also observing this place, especially the gathering places of these monsters.

Since the moon in the sky turned round, the nether creatures here had also increased quite a bit, and the position where they gathered seemed to be right under the full moon.

Perhaps the thing they wanted was hidden there.

Therefore, Chen Ang was also consciously moving toward the area under the full moon.

Sure enough, the closer they got to the area under the full moon, the more powerful the nether creatures here became.

There were even nether pirates; the other party could even flash and shift to trade moves with him. Fortunately, his strength was ultimately better.

At this position, Zong Shu's actions became even more awkward.

Because there was more than one nether pirate here, and not all pirates would follow Chen Ang; naturally, there were also those who took him as a target.

Fortunately, Chen Ang still had a conscience and would come over to help when he couldn't hold on, but even so, he was scared out of his wits and didn't dare to move.

Regarding this, Chen Ang could only remind him.

"Take out your housekeeping skills. They appeared, and there should be something hidden here. If you dig now, perhaps you really can dig something out."

Chen Ang had already said so; how could he refuse?

Thinking that as long as he found the thing that was hidden, all this would be over, Zong Shu didn't dare to hesitate and quickly began to probe the surroundings.

And he saw that the opponent was clearly suited for long-term combat; if he really dragged it out with him for so long, there was no telling what might happen.

"Continue, it should be that position. Don't stop. I'll block these guys for you!"

Chen Ang also realized that the current situation was about to end, so he quickly urged Zong Shu, and he himself went all out, directly revealing all his talents.

Although the consumption was faster, it was indeed effective, and the offensive of these nether creatures was indeed blocked by him.

Until Zong Shu's shovel really dug up something hard, he immediately dug with both hands excitedly, and then threw out a strange bead from the ground.

And that thing was said to be a bead, but in fact, it looked more like an eyeball, and it could even look around and blink. Looking at that bead, Zong Shu felt that his soul was about to be snatched away by that thing. Fortunately, Chen Ang snatched that thing away in time.

Chanting a spell, Chen Ang quickly sealed this thing.

Even buried underground, this thing could summon so many nether creatures. Now that it was placed in the open without being dealt with, I'm afraid they wouldn't even need to leave this hill before they would be assimilated, and perhaps they would become nether monsters.

The bead was sealed, and those nether creatures naturally lost their source of power, so they slowly faded and dissipated. Chen Ang also breathed a sigh of relief.

He seemed to have not fought so happily for a long time. To tell the truth, fighting a battle like this, he really felt quite tired.

The problem was solved, and both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As for that bead, Chen Ang naturally wanted to take it away. If such a rare thing were handed over, unless there was something wrong with his brain.

But after all, he still had to use some things to finish the job.

Thinking this, Chen Ang asked Zong Shu: "Where are the things you just picked up? Bring over a few better ones; we'll use them to pay for the meal, and it will also be easier to explain the situation here."

"I have them, they are all here. Look at what you want? Secret manuals or materials? I picked up quite a few good things just now." Mentioning these things, Zong Shu became excited, and simultaneously began to rummage through his body.

These things were of no use to Chen Ang, but they could still be exchanged for some money. He naturally wouldn't be so generous as to give them all to Zong Shu.

"Just give me half of the more useful secret manuals and weapons. By the way, there's also your meal money; you'd better exchange it with secret manuals yourself."

After all, eating other people's food makes you soft-mouthed. These things that don't cost money are originally the most expensive, but in such a situation where there is no choice, they can only choose to eat and live.

What Chen Ang gave was really not a small amount. Zong Shu's speed of taking things out naturally wouldn't be slow. Although he gave away half of the things, his bag was still bulging. When he returned to his residence, he would use the materials to evolve, and next time he encountered the same situation, he wouldn't be so passive again.

Perhaps he could even take the initiative!

"Alright, it's almost dawn. Let's hurry back. Go back and have a sleep, and leave everything else for tomorrow." After Zong Shu said this, he went forward on his own, no longer having any other taboos.

He only dared not move because he was blocked by nether creatures just now. Otherwise, on such days when he didn't need to dig graves and excavate tombs, he still wanted to rest in a soft big bed. Fortunately, the distance from this grave to the villa was not far.

It's just that when they went back, there were quite a few casualties in the villa, and not many people were resting normally.

Seeing them return from the direction of the grave mountain, many people present showed shocked expressions, and some even asked the two directly: "Didn't you encounter those nether creatures just now? I remember the ones on the grave mountain side should be even more powerful, and you don't look injured either."

"Could it be that you are very strong? But why can't we see it?"

"They must have been hiding in a safe place and didn't dare to move just now. But why did these nether creatures appear? Could it be that they really appear every full moon? But it is said that this kind of thing has never happened before!"

Everyone had countless doubts in their hearts. Regarding their confusion, Chen Ang had no intention of answering, so he simply pretended to be afraid.

"We also didn't expect those nether creatures to pop out suddenly, so we could only hide behind the grave piles to avoid those guys. Fortunately, they disappeared quickly, but it's not like we didn't have any gains."

Chen Ang said, took out the secret manuals, and handed them directly to the service staff of the family he was staying with.

"Just give this to you. It's impossible to really eat and live for free, right? We are also tired, so we'll go back to rest first. We can't stay in such a dangerous place, so we might as well leave tomorrow."

Saying this, he also pretended to cough twice, which only made Zong Shu keep complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to expose him, so he could only pretend to help him walk toward the villa until they returned to the room, and only then did Chen Ang return to his normal state.

At the same time, he didn't dare to linger here any longer.

"Aren't you going to rest for a while? We just got back. If we leave, where will we stay today?"

"But if we don't leave, what if they come looking for us later to ask for things? I don't believe they will completely believe what I just said."

It would be better to find a wilderness or a cave to sleep in for the night later; it would be more peaceful.

Hearing Chen Ang say this, Qing Mei naturally wouldn't refuse, but the breakfast here should already be prepared, so they could go and mooch a few steamed buns and then leave.

Otherwise, exchanging a secret manual for such a day of food and lodging is clearly not cost-effective.

Qing Mei thought of this and acted immediately, leaving the room to go to the restaurant. Chen Ang packed up the things in the room, fearing that he might leave something behind, while also thinking about whether to notify Zong Shu, or just end the cooperation and no longer care about the other party's life or death.

It's just that before he had thought it through, he heard the movement from outside the door. Turning his head, Chen Ang saw Zong Shu crawling into the room.

And a layer of black fog had already covered the other party's face, his eyes had become blood red, and he seemed to be in extreme discomfort. His veins were all bulging, as if he were bearing huge pressure.

This situation naturally attracted Chen Ang's attention.

"Why did you suddenly become like this? Did someone feed you poison? This situation seems quite serious..."

Chen Ang was not a doctor after all, and he didn't have the talent for healing, but Zong Shu was a companion after all; he couldn't just stand by and watch him die, right?

Therefore, he could only check his body and noticed that the aura of nether creatures seemed to be leaking from his body.

Infection.

These two words appeared in Chen Ang's mind, and remembering the scene where the other party touched the Eye of Hell before, he immediately understood what was going on.

But the difficulty was that he didn't have any potions on him that could treat this situation.

There was no other way; he could only lift the person up immediately and take him to the hall to find someone for help.

"Do you have any healers here? His soul seems to be infected. If he is not treated, he might become a nether creature."

Everyone present had experienced the power of nether creatures last night. Hearing this again at this time, they naturally looked at Zong Shu in panic, and some even picked up their weapons directly.

"Then kill him before he transforms. How can such a scourge be left here? If something happens to everyone, how can you afford the responsibility?"

"Whoever dares to touch him, try it." Chen Ang's tone turned cold.

He could be sure that Zong Shu could still be saved. As long as he could find a healer—although a healer who could heal the soul was not easy to find—he couldn't do such a thing as watching others kill his companion, and he wouldn't watch his companion die.

Fortunately, someone stood up in time.

"Let me take a look. Yo, the pollution he received is not light. Come, take my medicine first; it can temporarily slow down the speed of pollution."

The other party said, directly stuffing a pill into Zong Shu's mouth. After only a moment, Zong Shu regained his sanity.

And after recovering, he also fell into deep fear.

"What should I do? I seemed to have seen many nether creatures just now. I was so scared and wanted to ask you for help, and after that, I didn't remember anything. Was it you who saved me again?" Zong Shu asked Chen Ang.

Chen Ang didn't answer, his gaze looking at the guy who had just saved the person, but he asked the other party's name unceremoniously.

"Why? Are you very interested in me? It's a pity, I'm not interested in you. This person is not so easy to recover." The other party didn't pay attention to Chen Ang's provocation at all and continued to evaluate Zong Shu.

"It's not that I'm stingy with medicinal materials, but this guy needs prayer grass, which I don't have here. You have to hurry up and find it for me within three days. I can wait for you here. If you can't find it within three days, I advise you to just kill him directly."

The other party was very straightforward. Hearing this, Zong Shu almost cried directly.
