Chapter 138: Reappearance of the Half-Body Corpse (Please Subscribe)

One month, an average of five killed, stripping five people of their belongings, burying five corpses, then practicing war-to-sustain-war, using the things looted from them to keep this wheel rolling.

At the same time, Du En also maintained daily cultivation and occasional spirit-seeking, while popping pills and taking medicine to accelerate the liver-grinding of spells, increasing proficiency by 450 points a month.

However, there were actually some small accidents occasionally.

For example, there were second-rank demonic beasts greedy for human flesh; seeing that Du En was alone here now while the other patrol guards were huddled together, some idiots couldn't help but run over to throw their lives away, causing his stockpile of demonic beast meat to never go down.

Consequently, this triggered another situation—in the eyes of the others in the camp, this kid's luck was simply too good!

Not only did no evil cultivators come knocking, but even demonic beasts didn't, which was simply absurdly strange...

There were those whispering in private, those who felt something was wrong, and those who wanted to investigate the cause; Du En looked at the specific situation, and this month, or perhaps next month, they would basically come knocking, and he would silence them.

"Of course, there are definitely still people who are suspicious and confused, it's just that they either lack the confidence and dare not investigate, or they have too many misgivings, so they didn't come to investigate."

Based on his understanding of Du En, Xiang Tao never thought it would be him killing people and causing trouble, only feeling that this kid was bait thrown out by evil cultivators.

Du En cleaned up the traces, flew up on his artifact, clocked out from work, and flew back in a somewhat leisurely manner.

A panel appeared in his eyes.

So, after thinking it over, he decided to ignore it!

But he couldn't let other idiots act smart and trigger it, so he came up with another plan: to package Du En as his own bait, used to fish for evil cultivators!

This hypothesis was spread obscurely through his confidants, immediately making the new and old patrol guards ponder it, and then they suddenly realized.

Just like that, as usual and slow, he returned to the camp.

He stood in place at this moment, silent; the earth cannon just fired exploded with a boom at this time, causing this mountain cave to begin to teeter, finally unable to bear it any longer.

【Spell: Earth Cannon Technique (Mastery 0/5000), Flying Sand Technique (Minor Achievement 80/1000), Breath Concealment Technique (Perfected), Earth Armor Technique (Minor Achievement 80/1000), Artifact Control Technique (Minor Achievement 750/1000), Fire Ignition Technique (Minor Achievement 260/1000)】

【Divine Ability: Burying Death, Flourishing Life (Initial Glimpse 13/20)】

He immediately stopped his movements, and only after they had walked far away did he quietly leave the house to follow.

Because of Xiang Tao's somewhat inexplicable, yet upon careful consideration, logical misunderstanding, Du En could not openly blend in at the moment, so he could only wait and follow them secretly to observe.

So on this morning, Du En pushed open a crack in the door and saw from afar that Camp Master Xiang Tao was leading a group of people, rushing past, not noticing this side at all.

Pinching this return journey could also soothe and restore his state.

Or rather, it shouldn't be called an accident.

This allowed him to successfully live for a while longer.

【Cultivation Method: Firm Spirit Art (Thoroughly Mastered 2963/3000)】

After all, medicinal pills are not like spirit meals that release slowly; they always have a short, one-time, urgent burst.

Then Du En discovered that he was further alienated by the people in the camp.

After all, the evil cultivators weren't really dead; having been framed by Du En for so long, it was time to react.

So Du En turned around and left this place.

Every day, within a short period, taking this many pills always requires a bit of a buffer.

But as he killed more and more, making the atmosphere increasingly tense, it instead made the camp master indecisive and full of misgivings.

Because if he made a mistake, it would easily trigger the uneasy emotions currently in the camp.

In fact, just three days later, before Du En had even finished his stock of recovery pills, an unexpected situation occurred.

"The cultivation method is about to break through again; as long as it breaks through, my strength will inevitably rise to a higher level."

This place was now killed by Du En until only 170 people remained; as more and more people died, the atmosphere became increasingly panicked and uneasy, and even Xiang Tao had begun to worry.

【Age: 26/245】

Through Du En's continuous efforts, the Earth Cannon Technique successfully broke through to Mastery.

【Hundred Arts: Appraisal (Proficient 30/50), Culinary Arts (Minor Achievement 0/100), Spirit Seeking (Proficient 0/50), Artifact Refining (Proficient 0/50)】

Back and forth, he slaughtered and buried thirty-eight old patrol guards, using the scarce cultivation pills and the relatively abundant recovery pills on their bodies to pile up this level of accumulation and proficiency.

Because there were clearly not enough hands, but to make him lower his face and plead with Tang Yiping for good words, it hadn't reached that point yet.

They saw a corpse.

Slowly, Du En noticed the suspicious peeking from Xiang Tao after he returned to the camp.

"As for now, let's go back first."

Following secretly like this, he came to the mountain forest around the camp.

Only until the people were killed down to the death line of 150 would Xiang Tao cast aside his fake face, lower his head to Tang Yiping, and speak good words to pull in supplies.

Through listening and observing before acting again, he quickly understood the sudden realization of these people, which was a bit bewildered at the time, but he still used this to cut into Xiang Tao's thinking and make his own inferences.

Discovering that there was no need to stop, he continued to push forward!

It is worth mentioning that Yu Jian, who was originally held back by the matter of guarding against evil cultivators, and later, as the situation became severe, had a "broken jar" mentality due to the unease and wanted to find trouble with Du En to vent, was once again unwillingly avoided and missed.

【Cultivation Base: Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage (58/100)】

After all, if the camp master would kill others today because of suspicion, then tomorrow he might kill himself because of suspicion!

【Spirit Root: Low Grade】

In fact, if it weren't for his dual cultivation of law and body, and his strong physical body, he actually wouldn't be able to take pills continuously in a short time.

If he didn't make a mistake, it would be even worse; who knows if this person is a human evil technique, and if he were killed in the camp and exploded, it might really cause the camp to fall, and he himself would have a life crisis.

If there were no accidents.

Until he was humbly sent out of the cave, replaced and welcomed by the already dark night.

The collapse seemed to be a follower, following his footsteps closely, yet not daring to overstep by even half a step.

In other words, if there were no accidents, Du En could continue to do this.

Thus, time moved smoothly and without waves to the beginning of March of the following year.

Or rather, half a corpse.

From head to crotch, it was split vertically into two halves, the internal organs left inside, unusually fresh, and the cut surface seemed to have a layer of invisible film sealing it, preventing bleeding or decay.

At the same time, this half-corpse had been stripped of its clothes, its hands and feet bound together, and its skin smeared with oil, revealing a strange, waxy yellow color; at first glance, it looked just like a halved, chopped-up piece of white-cut chicken or duck, possessing an intense, formless air of evil!
