Chapter 166: High-Speed Regeneration

A blue Drop Card appeared, and Bai Cangshu swept it up with his left hand into his Backpack.

【You have obtained Drop Card (Blue) *1】

Everything happened too fast; Orgins's outstretched hand was still frozen in place, Lao Hanke with his shoulder pierced was still wailing in the sewage, and Banabi was still hesitating while bracing his gun, yet the God's Guard Shura, who had been incredibly arrogant just a moment ago, had already perished on the spot.

Cindy fell from the opponent's hand, was caught by Bai Cangshu in passing, and tossed onto the ground.

Only then did the little girl come to her senses.

"It's that bird knight God's Guard..."

She had just gone out when she saw a fierce giant bird that wanted to escape, but it had already been caught by Shura; after falling into the cave, it bit Shura and let out a loud warning, but she hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, that big guy would have beaten the terrifying God's Guard to death.

"Big guy, you..."

Cindy finally realized at this moment that this time, she had probably picked up an extraordinary person.

Orgins's expression suddenly changed; he stepped forward a few paces and said urgently,

"This bird-man has been beaten down, that guy will definitely appear!"

He lunged forward, grabbed Shura's corpse, and walked toward the entrance; as he passed Bai Cangshu and Cindy, he said in a muffled voice,

"Little girl, you've worked hard these past few days."

Lieao and the others were all startled, having already understood the other's intention; Lieao, who was missing a leg, gritted his teeth and hopped forward, rolling down from that clean passageway.

"Orgins, let me do this!"

"You still have strength, there will be opportunities in the future..."

Banabi beside Lieao also wanted to speak, but Lieao raised his hand to stop him.

Bai Cangshu watched these crippled Plot Characters fighting over a spot to go out and die.

He merely grabbed Orgins's clothes and yanked him backward; the big man stumbled two steps and fell into the sewage.

"Put away this useless kindness; this era has no stage left for you."

He hoisted Shura's corpse and walked toward the tunnel entrance on his own.

It was impossible for Bai Cangshu to spend the next 10 days hiding in a place like this; if he did, his situation would be even more unfavorable when the second batch of Reincarnators entered.

One must know that this mission world was a naked team-battle slaughter script; the newly arrived Reincarnators would not be teammates fighting alongside Bai Cangshu to conquer Enel, but merely another group of "red-named" hostile players.

These ten days were the time the space left for the weakest side in the team battle to acquire the "Plot Momentum," so Bai Cangshu would definitely go out to understand the current power structure on this island, and even find a way to lure in external forces to seek the greatest benefit.

Orgins saw Bai Cangshu's actions, his eyes shifted, and he did not speak again.

【Your actions have gained the approval of the Plot Character Orgins; your Reputation with Orgins has increased, currently: Friendly (8/100)】

Bai Cangshu paid no attention to these Plot Characters who, in his view, were of no use; these people probably held certain plot clues, and digging deeper would likely yield some Side Missions and rewards.

But facing Enel and other more powerful Reincarnator squads, Bai Cangshu had no time to waste on such things.

When he dragged the corpse to the edge of the exit, rapid Footwork sounded from behind him, and the little girl Cindy tugged at Bai Cangshu's pant leg.

"Big guy, I'm going with you!"

The young girl's eyes were firm.

Perhaps at this age, she didn't quite understand what death really was, Bai Cangshu thought to himself, but he did need a guide familiar with the local situation, so Bai Cangshu nodded and climbed to the edge of the cave entrance.

Impatient flapping sounds kept appearing near the cave entrance; it was clearly Shura's mount, the three-zhang bird 【Pan Tui】. Bai Cangshu grabbed Shura's corpse and tossed it upward, and the body flew several dozen meters in an instant.

The plump three-zhang bird let out a shrill cry and flapped its wings, leaping toward the sky, wanting to catch its master. At this moment, Bai Cangshu grabbed Cindy and leaped lightly, exiting the cave.

He swept his foot, and the lid covered the cave entrance; afterward, he even whistled at the silly bird in the sky that had caught Shura's corpse.

Cindy held tightly onto Bai Cangshu's clothes, and the two quickly turned into a corner and disappeared. Members of the God's Guard in the distance noticed 【Pan Tui】 wailing in the sky and approached, only to see a back view disappear into the market.

Turning back, they heard someone shout,

"It's bad, Lord Shura is dead!"

A riot broke out immediately; the God's Guard wanted to track Bai Cangshu's trail, but they had no way to do so.

Bai Cangshu carried Cindy, his Footwork extremely fast. His senses were sharp; he could perceive speech and Footwork within a thousand meters. Bai Cangshu's body also began to Adapt to this chaotic information, and after his Spirit attribute touched the Extreme Value, his brain's reaction and processing capabilities also improved considerably.

Cindy was very nervous, pointing the way as Bai Cangshu bypassed several streets, finally finding a block that had collapsed halfway.

The houses on this street were of the type with a small courtyard, and the outer walls were built with glowing stones; it was clear they had once belonged to a wealthy district, only to be mostly destroyed by the aftermath of some attack.

Cindy sneakily led Bai Cangshu into a courtyard, and she skillfully fished a key out of a window flowerbed to open the room door.

"This used to be the house of the uncle sheriff; Sister Luoluo often brought me here to sneak in and play, but they are now..."

The little girl's mood dipped, but Bai Cangshu had no intention of comforting her and walked inside on his own.

The room was quite well-furnished. Bai Cangshu wiped his hand across a surface, and there was no dust. Watching Cindy habitually pick up a broom to clean, Bai Cangshu guessed that she might not be as "young" as he had imagined; this was a child who, at such an age, had already learned how to reminisce.

"Tell me about it, Special Agent Cindy; what kind of famous guys are there in this country?"

Bai Cangshu looked through a corner of the window and saw quite a few huge green leaves in the collapsed row of streets; those leaves were so large that Bai Cangshu had initially thought they were some kind of special oilcloth.

The wind could not stir those huge leaves that could cover an entire house. Bai Cangshu poked his head out of the window, but the view behind was blocked by mountains, making it impossible to see the vines from which those leaves grew.

"Big guy, that side is a forbidden area!"

"Captain Kori said it's very dangerous there; once you get close, you'll attract that guy's attention..."

Cindy was cleaning while wondering what she was thinking about.

Remembering Bai Cangshu's question, she said,

"Famous guys..."

"On that street to the east, there are a few guys like apes; there used to be a lot of people, but quite a few have left in the last two years;"

"In that street to the west, many Pirates are hiding; that group surrendered, so they didn't die. Captain Orgins said there are two guys in there whose strength is not bad."

She counted on her fingers, but she didn't provide any Intelligence that could surprise Bai Cangshu.

The only useful Intelligence was probably that so-called forbidden area; if Bai Cangshu guessed correctly, it was highly likely related to the Golden Town or that kind of giant vine.

But if he would encounter Enel after getting close, then this was clearly not the time to enter.

The tingling sensation in Bai Cangshu's right hand became more and more intense; he suddenly gripped hard, and his right hand regained sensation.

The charred skin peeled off inch by inch, and the tender red flesh underneath grew like granulation tissue.

Bai Cangshu could feel his blood flowing at an accelerated pace; some energy had been lost, but in return, his arm healed successfully very quickly.

With this, the Ripple Qigong began to circulate once more, and Bai Cangshu moved his fingers; his body was already as good as new.

【Based on the Bloodline ability of Human Perfect Individual (Mythical Species, Myriad Phenomenon Species), you have activated the Bloodline Trait: High-speed Regeneration】

【High-speed Regeneration (Rare): Chao-fan Te-zheng, any injury can be rapidly regenerated by consuming Qi and blood; your body will not be affected by critical hits】

Cindy turned her head and blinked, only then realizing she hadn't seen wrong; the big guy's pitch-black right hand had somehow recovered when she wasn't looking.

"Big guy, you can heal injuries from lightning strikes?!"

Bai Cangshu knew what she was thinking, but before he could speak, the little girl suddenly lunged over; she hugged Bai Cangshu's leg, and bean-sized tears rolled down incessantly.

"Team member Cindy implores you, please save Captain Kori!"

Bai Cangshu looked at this little creature, who was less than seventy centimeters tall and as frail as a ragdoll, and for the first time, he felt a special power emanating from her.

The updates these past two days have been a bit lackluster, apologies; there are quite a few things going on, I am adjusting and improving.
