Chapter 79: with translation of chapter title

At this moment, outside the underground palace not far from the Deep Pit battlefield, Chen Shicheng stood at the bottom of the fissure, curiously fiddling with the Storage Bag in his hand—the very one Yu Wei had just placed the Tai Sui into.

Just before Yu Wei muttered the incantation to summon Bai Paoren, Hui Siye had already hidden nearby, using the cover of a sky‑filled blade vortex, performed Five Ghosts Transport to "take" the Storage Bag from his own chest and, at the same time, slipped his own Storage Bag into it.

For Hui Siye's race, this kind of maneuver is child's play, and Yu Wei didn't even notice any abnormality.

Moreover, Five Ghosts Transport was originally meant for this, and using it for instant‑travel like Chen Shicheng does is the evil way.

After obtaining the Storage Bag, Chen Shicheng originally intended to try killing Yu Wei again, to see if he could reap any valuable items from him.

Unfortunately, with a flick of his sleeve he dispersed the blade vortex and almost shattered the Demon‑slicing Array, revealing Bai Paoren's unfathomable power; seeing the situation turn bad, he immediately had Hui Siye teleport him here.

"Wow, the world is full of wonders—Storage Bags can even hold living things!" Chen Shicheng's Divine Perception spread outward as he admired the Tai Sui inside.

"Your stomach, after special processing, could also be made into this kind of Storage Bag, but its seal is practically nonexistent; if you're careless, whatever's inside can just crawl out on its own."

Hui Siye looked at the scant incense fire power remaining around him, his pained face twisted, and said, "Kid, this time I'm bleeding badly; after we get back, you must prepare the Reverence‑God Incense for me, or I'll never help you again."

Hui Siye was also helpless; he had thought that once the corpse was extracted from the formation, he could return to his roots and peacefully finish his life.

Who could have imagined that this kid wasn't a cheap lamp at all—he's even more cunning than those constantly preening, scheming foxes, and when he catches a mouse he uses it to the death, almost scooping out his Golden Core to use as a marble.

That means the corpse is now stored in Chen Shicheng's storage space; otherwise he would rather waste his reward than find someone else to send it home. "Rest assured, after we get back you'll be taken care of, inhale, inhale hard; if you don't inhale you'll be confused," Chen Shicheng confidently patted his chest and promised.

After soothing Hui Siye, he checked the La Tiao that was still soundly asleep in his chest.

Evolution seemed to be proceeding methodically; the black hair on La Tiao, which originally only reflected violet light under sunlight,

now, the hair roots are visibly purple, shimmering with a metallic sheen, and its weight appears to have increased, causing his clothes to strain.

He originally intended to transfer La Tiao into a Storage Bag that can hold living things, but it is asleep; even if killed it wouldn't react, and the Storage Bag also contains a severely wounded Tai Sui capable of devouring flesh and blood.

Chen Shicheng truly feared that, if he wasn't careful, the Tai Sui would digest La Tiao leaving nothing but residue. He tightened his belt and dared not linger here; whether it's Bai Paoren or the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department, once the Tai Sui is lost they will certainly seal off the area, and staying any longer would be too late.

Chen Shicheng sprinted rapidly along the direction of the fissure.

As he expected, after emerging from the bottom of the fissure and climbing to the ridge top beside the mine pit, he discovered that the area within several kilometers of the pit was completely surrounded by personnel from the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department.

Every player trying to leave had to be subjected to repeated compass and unknown skill tests, up and down, many times before they could depart.

In this situation, escaping with an Illusion Body Talisman was impossible, so Chen Shicheng once again cast his gaze toward his own shoulder.

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible—using Five Ghosts Transport with you would kill me instantly!" Hui Siye blurted out without hesitation. "Then you could teleport away with the Storage Bag yourself," Chen Shicheng suggested. "A Storage Bag is light; you take it and teleport to the gathering inn, and I'll follow right after."

After a round of bargaining, Hui Siye, having received five Reverence‑God Incense sticks as offering, reluctantly vanished from the spot with the Storage Bag.

【4】 With no evidence left, Chen Shicheng, feeling confident, descended the ridge and, without arousing any suspicion, easily breached the blockade line.

With no evidence, Chen Shicheng, full of confidence, walked down the mountain ridge and, without raising any suspicion, easily broke through the blockade line.

After reaching a place where the Cultural Tourism Bureau was no longer visible, he immediately sprinted for his life, not daring to even gasp for breath, and finally, half an hour later, returned to the inn he rented.

He pushed the door open and saw Hui Siye, who had been waiting for a long time, along with the Storage Bag placed on the table.

Ignoring the disheveled clothes he'd acquired in the underground palace, Chen Shicheng sealed the doors and windows, then flipped the Storage Bag over, pouring the Tai Sui out.

The inn's floor was a patchwork of wooden planks, preventing the Tai Sui's Earth‑Dodge technique from activating; after half a day of trying, it realized its predicament, curled tightly, and hid beneath the table, unwilling to show itself.

The Tai Sui had been trapped by Yu Wei's Southern Brightness Fire for a long time, its body covered in burns, with some severe areas already carbonized.

Thin strands that seemed like blood continuously seeped from the charred spots, emitting a fragrant aroma that made Chen Shicheng unable to resist; he dabbed a little with his finger, put it in his mouth to taste, and his eyes lit up.

No wonder the famed Tai Sui, besides the identified skills, also possesses some divine effects.

Just that tiny bit of blood in his mouth alleviated the aching meridians caused by his frequent high‑intensity True Essence output; another small sip might even heal him completely.

His action, to the Tai Sui, was no less than a human being stared down by a predator; sensing Chen Shicheng's eager gaze, it trembled in fear, constantly shrinking back, its body manifesting what is called Fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just tasting it; I won't hurt you at all."

Chen Shicheng quickly composed his expression, enveloped the Tai Sui with his Divine Perception, and strived to convey his goodwill.

It seemed to sense the emotion he transmitted; the Tai Sui gradually steadied, no longer shaking fresh blood all over the ground as before, allowing Chen Shicheng to let out a sigh of relief.

This is a holy healing medicine, no worse than those Elixirs; letting it fall to the ground would be wasteful. "How do you heal? Do Elixirs work? Or if you feed yourself more meat, can you heal on your own?"

Chen Shicheng strained to convey his meaning with Divine Perception, but the Tai Sui's intellect was low; it could only grasp simple emotions and understood nothing of complex language—this whole approach was like playing a lute to a cow.

Nevertheless, the goodwill in his Divine Perception was eventually sensed by the Tai Sui; it gradually unfolded its body, instinctively writhing toward Chen Shicheng, and a limb extended, reaching for the La Tiao in his chest.
