Chapter 167: The Skull Bone Staff: My Demigod-Level Eerie Object, and You Call It Ugly (Fourth Update)

Inside the food shop

Just on the other side, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and others were all busy.

At this moment inside the food shop, Su Mu here was communicating with Ling Shuangxue and the others.

"Here, this is what those scam artists left behind; you take it and give it to them!"

With Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, and everyone else having left, only Ling Shuangxue, Huang Shaotian, Jianghe, and Yang Xue remained inside the food shop at this moment.

At this moment, Su Mu held this skull bone staff and extended it directly toward the four of them.

For a moment, the four on the opposite side instantly widened their eyes in shock.

"Eerie... eerie..."

Yang Xue, who was only at the third tier, stared at the object before her and was simply dumbfounded.

An eerie object, something seen only in pictures, had actually appeared before their eyes.

And on the other side, Ling Shuangxue and Huang Shaotian were also stunned.

They never expected that the deity would give this to them!

This is a demigod-level eerie object that can casually pollute several cities.

Even if handled improperly, it is possible for a small nation to turn into a dead zone.

"This, this shopkeeper, I asked them, and they said they don't want it!"

Just as the four were shocked, Huang Shaotian was the first to speak up and refuse.

Are you kidding? This is a demigod-level eerie object; if they touch it, they will surely be polluted and turn into ghostly beings.

"Hmm? Don't want it?"

Hearing Huang Shaotian's words, Su Mu couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, after looking down at the skull bone staff in his hand, Su Mu understood.

"Right, such an ugly thing, I guess no one wants it!"

Speaking with considerable disdain, the skull bone staff in Su Mu's hand instantly began to cry.

He, a dignified demigod-level eerie object, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Being bullied by that group of terrifying pig-killing knives at night was bad enough.

But during the day, he actually had to be called ugly by this terrifying existence.

He regretted it; if he had known this place was so terrifying, he would never have come out from there even if beaten to death.

That bastard Posuishen, his skull would absolutely not let him off!

"Ahem, the shopkeeper is right; such an ugly thing, they wouldn't want it either; why don't you keep it for now, shopkeeper!"

After coughing lightly, in order to make Su Mu keep it for now, Huang Shaotian could only speak up to agree.

And the skull bone staff, hearing Huang Shaotian's words, instantly became furious.

Damn, it was bad enough that this terrifying existence called him ugly.

You, a mere fanatic, actually dare to say that about him!

If only I weren't suppressed right now.

Do you believe that with one curse from me right now, you would die with your entire body's bones shattered?

Thinking of this, the skull bone staff instantly glared fiercely at Huang Shaotian.

Unfortunately, held in Su Mu's hand, not even a trace of eerie aura could pass through, let alone even a hint of bone scent.

Thinking of this, the skull bone staff couldn't help but curl up aggrievedly in the corner.

"Hmm, hmm, alright, since that's the case, I'll keep it for you for now!"

Since Huang Shaotian had said so, Su Mu looked at the skull bone staff in his hand, then tossed it onto the cashier counter.

After all, it was something others didn't want and looked so ugly, so Su Mu naturally didn't care much.

And such an action, seen by Ling Shuangxue and the others, made their hearts pound in terror.

A demigod-level eerie object capable of casually destroying a small nation was just casually tossed aside by the shopkeeper.

Truly worthy of being a deity!

"Shopkeeper, then we'll take our leave first!"

After looking at the skull bone staff, Huang Shaotian quickly said a farewell, then the four of them hurriedly left.

Only after stepping out of the food shop and walking a long distance did the four of them stop.

At this moment, the fierce sun shone high, yet cold sweat was already streaming down the backs of the four.

"Too terrifying, I was almost scared to death by that eerie object!"

Yang Xue, at this moment, kept patting her flat chest, with shock still lingering in her eyes.

Eerie objects, for people like them on the ground, were simply too far away.

For any eerie object, they had only seen it in records.

They had never seen one in reality.

This was the first time they had witnessed the ominous nature of an eerie object.

"You are lucky; do you know what level of eerie object that was?"

Huang Shaotian on the other side was also panting heavily; if he hadn't learned the level of the skull bone staff from the high priest of the Posuishen Sect, he would have almost fallen too.

"A demigod-level eerie object that can easily pollute an entire small nation!"

"If it hadn't been suppressed by the deity, Tianlu City would probably be gone by now!"

Huang Shaotian spoke with lingering fear at this moment, with deep shock in his eyes.

And upon hearing "demigod-level eerie object," Jianghe and Yang Xue were both stunned.

Demigod level, isn't that a legendary existence?

They had actually encountered a semi-divine strange entity and yet were still alive?

At this moment, the two of them could not help but pant heavily.

Just then, on the other side, Ling Shuangxue's gaze turned toward the two of them.

"Your strength has long reached the peak of the Third Tier; it is time to prepare for a breakthrough!"

Upon hearing these words, Jianghe and Yang Xue, who were panting heavily, immediately looked embarrassed.

It was not that they did not want to break through, but that they simply could not.

Only a few weeks ago, they were merely apprentices; now they had already reached the peak of the Third Tier.

If they went to the Guild or the Church to break through, they would likely be taken away for study within minutes.

By then, the matter of the Deities would surely be exposed.

They dared not imagine what consequences would follow from unauthorized exposure of the Deities' affairs.

If they accidentally provoked the Deities, they would be finished.

However, without going to the Guild or the Church, they could not obtain the secret formula for breaking through to the Third Tier.

The limit for ordinary humans is the power of the peak Third Tier.

To break through one's cultivation, one must rely on the power of a secret medicine to undergo a class change into a Believer!

By constructing a bridge of faith within the body, one can borrow the Deity's power to break through to the Fourth Tier.

The secret medicine of every Deity is top secret.

Without the secret medicine, they simply had no way to break through their strength.

"As for the secret medicine, I will bring it to you; however, I hope that when the time comes, you will best try to believe in the one from the Gourmet Shop!"

Ling Shuangxue glanced at the Faith Statue within her body and then offered this suggestion to the two of them.

Although the secret medicine of every Deity is different, it is clear that the one in the Gourmet Shop is far too powerful.

The secret medicine was originally meant to help mortals undergo a class change, but the one in the Gourmet Shop, relying on his own terrifying strength, completely nullified most of the medicine's effects.

Ling Shuangxue, having experienced it firsthand, was the most qualified to speak on this matter.

Meanwhile, Jianghe and Yang Xue, upon hearing Ling Shuangxue's suggestion, immediately brightened.

Should they believe in the Deity from the Gourmet Shop?

They were naturally willing!

At the same time, inside the Gourmet Shop

Su Mu, at this moment, did not yet know that he was about to gain two more believers.
