Chapter 29: Yellow Skin Creature's Request for a Seal?

Strolling among the sparse snowflakes, Mu Yi felt a bit bewildered.

The place he set out from looked like a small town, but for some reason there was not the slightest sign of life in it.

The Qing Court Army, the White Lotus Sect, the Rebellion Army, even the monsters on the backdrop were absent; only endless snowflakes fell abundantly from the sky.

What appeared to be snowflakes were actually spores of some plant.

According to Mu Yi's conjecture, this thing might be the White Lotus Sect, or rather something created by Wusheng Laomu.

Awo~

A fierce howl rang out, and Mu Yi raised an eyebrow, wondering if this was a gathering signal.

Straight east, a clear path was indicated; whatever lies there, it's certainly better than aimlessly wandering here.

But immediately after, Mu Yi sensed something was off.

Accompanied by another howl, the whole town seemed to come alive; the previously silent town suddenly boiled over, as if the howl had awakened the sleeping town.

The rising and falling sounds made the town feel like a massive monster nest.

Mu Yi frowned as he passed a corner, where a woman was trembling and kneeling on the ground, emitting a sound incomprehensible to humans; Mu Yi had no idea what she meant to convey.

"Are you human or ghost?"

Mu Yi's voice startled the woman.

She jerked her head up; her bluish‑gray skin showed no hint of blood, and she emitted a "He! He!" sound.

Then, like a raging beast, she lunged at Mu Yi, her arms turning into bluish‑gray claws; rather than a human, she resembled a half‑human, half‑beast zombie.

"Is this the result of being parasitized by spores?"

Seeing the woman before him fully mutated into a monster, Mu Yi recalled the snowflakes he had just inhaled, and a chill ran through him.

If it turns him into such a ghoul, he'd rather die.

In an instant, the monster lunged at Mu Yi's face; judging by its speed, this creature could at least tear a group of Goblins apart with its hands.

This is certainly not the physical condition a short woman should have; it seems these drifting spores not only parasitize but also, to some extent, enhance physical attributes.

However, the enhancement has limits; the monster before him is probably the kind a normal person could kill easily with a weapon, which for Mu Yi is no trouble at all.

"Dust to dust, earth to earth, may you rest in peace!"

Mu Yi drew his formation blade and cleaved the monster; living in such a state might be even more tragic, and death may be the only way to grant them release.

"Hm? What's this?"

Seeing the faint blue specks rising from the monster's corpse, Mu Yi frowned.

"Dungeon tip: You have obtained the current Dungeon currency—Blue Soul; you can spend the currency at relevant locations to exchange for items."

Accompanying the Dungeon tip, Mu Yi tried to touch the faint blue specks with his hand; before his fingers reached them, the specks automatically flew into his body.

Mu Yi felt a strange sensation, as if he could retrieve the faint blue specks at any time.

"Dungeon tip: Current Blue Soul count: 1"

"Strange thing!"

His heightened perception made Mu Yi instinctively realize that this so‑called currency was not merely for trade; it seemed to have additional uses.

"Awo~" As Mu Yi pondered, another howl sounded in the distance, this time more urgent, as if urging.

This time, Mu Yi clearly sensed the whole town beginning to riot.

The previous howl merely awakened them from slumber, whereas this one fully pointed them in a direction.

Several bluish‑gray monsters darted out from every corner, sprinting toward the source of the sound.

Some monsters noticed Mu Yi's presence, twisting their malformed bodies and snarling, trying to pounce and bite him.

Strangely, they did not attack each other; there seemed to be some judgment that let them distinguish friend from foe.

Mu Yi raised his formation blade, channeling Inner Qi into it; the booming thunder burst forth with dazzling light, cleaving dozens of monsters before him into char.

The Legend weapon was unleashing its peerless ferocity.

Just as Mu Yi had originally thought, before the ability to resist spells with Inner Qi existed, magical damage was beyond what a mortal flesh could endure.

The booming thunder attracted more monsters to swarm toward Mu Yi, but under the lightning's illumination, none could approach him.

The town was small; Mu Yi killed as he moved, and soon left the town's bounds, advancing toward the howl's source.

Suddenly, Mu Yi felt the surroundings fall silent; the wind vanished, as if he had entered a vacuum.

Mu Yi whirled around; a hunched figure stood before him, its cheeks and neck covered in yellow fuzz, looking nothing like a normal person.

"Kid, do I look like a human or a god?"

Mu Yi scratched his head; this was a Yellow Skin Creature seeking a seal.

Is the world really this chaotic?

Indeed, the world is in great turmoil; demons and monsters must be rampaging.

But considering the era, as a class of great immortal species worshipped by the Qing Court, in this age they might not even be classified as demons or monsters, perhaps they are inherently divine?

If Mu Yi had encountered this right after entering the Dungeon, he might need to deliberate.

Unfortunately, after clearing a large batch of monsters, Mu Yi's attributes surged; he was no longer the cautious Little Karami.

"A beast wearing human skin, thinking that wearing skin makes it a person? A beast is a beast, forever just a beast!"

Hearing Mu Yi's harsh insult, the Yellow Skin Creature seeking a seal instantly fumed, its seven orifices smoking.

Unable to maintain a human form, the outer human skin suddenly swelled, its cheeks elongated, nose and mouth protruding forward, and a large yellow tail burst out from behind.

Its four limbs sprawled on the ground, its face extremely ferocious, seemingly ready to choose a victim to devour.

"I will give you one final chance: serve me for countless generations, and not only will I forgive you, but I will also spare your family from the snow disaster for all ages; otherwise, repay me with your flesh and blood!"
