Chapter 1562: I
"Heh, it's alright."
Facing Crow-Eye Granny's exclamation, Li Ang reached out and rubbed his nose, which had been frozen red, and then answered with a calm expression:
"It was indeed quite cold at first, but after getting used to it, it's just like that."
"? !!"
How is it possible? !!!
Hearing Li Ang's answer, and looking at his appearance that really didn't suffer much, the Masters of the Dead Realm present couldn't help but shudder in unison. Like a bunch of poisonous snakes holding a meeting, the hissing sound of sucking in cold air sounded one after another.
For the living, the 【Dead Man's Blood】 eaten by the Mountain-Patrolling Woman is a hundred times more poisonous than the most poisonous poison, and a thousand times colder than the coldest hard ice. That thing is almost the solidified "death" itself!
If converted into the True God system, contacting the solidified 【Dead Man's Blood】 is equivalent to being pulled into one's own truth category by the 【Death】 at the Pillar God level. Even someone as strong as the third-generation director of the Bureau would not have much room for resistance.
All existences that are still "alive," once they contact this thing, will be rapidly eroded and assimilated, and will be frozen by the cold emitted from it, entering a near-death state infinitely close to true death.
And the intensity of this kind of erosion and freezing is something that even the dead souls who have already died cannot bear. Even the Masters of the Dead Realm who stand at the peak of death will be in danger if they contact too much at once. How can he, a living person through and through, seem like nothing happened?
Don't ask, asking is opening... or rather, it was never closed at all.
After glancing at the 【Materialism】 badge that was lying quietly in the first slot, stably and enthusiastically blooming with red radiance, Li Ang counter-mobilized the 【Heart Lake】 authority, locked onto the turbulent Heart Lakes of more than a dozen Masters of the Dead Realm, drew a huge wave of power from them, and then said with a smile:
"It's okay, you guys chat your chat, I'll just listen on the side... If you really don't like it, then I won't interrupt in the future."
"..."
Is this a matter of whether to interrupt or not?
Looking at Li Ang, who was sitting comfortably and had crawled back into the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's heart, with only one ear exposed, the Faceless Person beside him couldn't help but break his defense on the spot.
He convened this meeting of masters for the purpose of discussing how to ambush the Bureau and how to kill the Food God who threatened the entire Dead Realm. As a result, the Food God listened to the whole process?
Even if the Food God couldn't pass the news back in time because he was wrapped by the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's soul, but... but this matter simply doesn't feel right no matter how you think about it!
"No!"
After looking at the Mountain-Patrolling Woman, whose face was pale, all the Masters of the Dead Realm present made the same decision in unison, raised their heads and shouted toward the Mountain-Patrolling Woman:
"Keep eating! Eat until the Food God is frozen!"
"I..."
"Hurry up!"
Even as the most powerful dead soul in the Dead Realm, frequently contacting 【Dead Man's Blood】 is a quite painful thing. But facing the consensus reached by a group of Masters of the Dead Realm, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman had to hold it in no matter how uncomfortable she was.
With fear of the damn Food God, and regret for getting involved in this mess, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman staggered to the source of the frozen river, dug down a piece of 【Dead Man's Blood】 the size of a fist, and swallowed it whole while gritting her teeth.
And after the new 【Dead Man's Blood】 went into her stomach, the effect seemed to be immediate.
In the expectant gaze of a group of Masters of the Dead Realm, the Food God's ear exposed outside shook, and he hurriedly shrank back, and then...
"Refreshing~"
Accompanied by the exclamation that made the Masters of the Dead Realm change color, a palm that was frozen red suddenly poked out from the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's heart, trembling and hooked his fingers toward the Faceless Person's direction.
"Increase the intensity!"
"? !?!?!"
Facing Li Ang's complete provocation, plus the continuous catalysis of the 【Heart Lake】 authority, a group of Masters of the Dead Realm couldn't help but be furious, and cast angry gazes at the Mountain-Patrolling Woman one after another.
"Eat! Keep eating!!!" After looking at the thin layer of frost covering Li Ang's palm, the Faceless Person gritted his teeth and shouted angrily:
"He is bluffing! Keep eating! Freeze him!"
"Right! Continue!"
Facing the angry glares of a group of Masters of the Dead Realm, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman, whose lips were blue, took half a step back, and then couldn't help but open her mouth:
"How about... I take him away first? Actually, even if I don't participate..."
"What are you afraid of?"
After interrupting the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's words, the Death-Workshop Master shouted with anger in his eyes:
"The Food God is a living person, and you are a dead soul!
He has hidden into your Heart Lake now, so if you eat a mouthful of 【Dead Man's Blood】, it is equivalent to him eating a mouthful too. You are a dead soul, can't you resist better than a living person?"
"..."
That's true?
After thinking about it and feeling that these words made sense, and that the Food God in her Heart Lake was mostly bluffing, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman nodded, and again dug down a piece of 【Dead Man's Blood】 the size of a fist, and swallowed it whole while gritting her teeth.
Swish!
With the Mountain-Patrolling Woman's desperate move, a large piece of terrifying "cold air" that made the soul sluggish exploded with her as the center, blowing a group of Masters of the Dead Realm to retreat one after another.
And she, who was at the very center of the cold air, had a small half of her body covered with a layer of white frost, and the chest area, which was "cared for" by the focus, even directly formed a thick layer of ice, freezing the Food God, who was originally "calling out," dead inside.
After waiting for a while with fear, and not seeing the Food God break through the ice, a group of Masters of the Dead Realm couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in unison. But to be on the safe side, the Faceless Person still instructed the Mountain-Patrolling Woman:
"The Food God is too special. You should seal your perception, and then turn around... You know, the things we are going to talk about next are too important. Even if the Food God has no way to pass the news back, it is better to avoid him as much as possible."
"..."
If you are going to do this, then why didn't you let me go at the beginning? Why bother to toss about like this!
Although she really wanted to say this, the Mountain-Patrolling Woman, who knew she had "offended the public anger," finally chose not to speak rationally, but turned around with resentment and closed her eyes with an annoyed expression.
"Everyone!"
And after confirming that she couldn't perceive any movement, the Faceless Person turned back to face a group of Masters of the Dead Realm, then stretched out his palm without fingerprints, patted the ice wall behind him lightly, and said with a solemn expression:
"How terrifying the Food God is, I think I don't need to say more. This human is a madman who has no scruples. He basically acts entirely on his own likes and dislikes, and won't consider the results! Even knowing that the Dead Realm will be in chaos without us, he still killed without hesitation. The Wailing Puppet is the best example!"
"I am very sure that if we don't open 【Frozen Coffin River】 this time, and fight the Bureau with all our strength to get rid of this danger, then after the Food God completely takes control of the Bureau, he will definitely kill us all!"
(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 1563 =====
Although she really wanted to say that, the Mountain Patrol Woman, knowing she had "incurred public wrath," wisely kept her mouth shut. She swallowed her anger, turned around, and closed her eyes in frustration.
"Everyone!"
After confirming that she could not detect any movement, the Faceless One turned back to face the Dead Realm Sovereigns. He extended his palm, which lacked even fingerprints, and tapped the ice wall behind him lightly, saying with a grave expression:
"I surely don't need to say any more about how terrifying the Food God is. This human is a reckless madman who acts entirely on his own whims without considering the consequences! Even knowing that the Dead Realm would fall into chaos without us, he still killed without hesitation—the Mourning Doll is the best example!
I am certain that if we don't open the 【Frozen Coffin River】 this time and fight the Cleanup Bureau with all our might to eliminate this danger, once the Food God fully takes control of the Cleanup Bureau, he will definitely exterminate us all!"
