Chapter 148: Checking the Received Goods

Lin Yifan watched as a fire instantly burned Peisi to ashes, once again confirming his guess.

These so-called Xuan Snake Clan members, just like the Maggot Human Bone, are not true living beings.

Although Lin Yifan still doesn't know now, where exactly these eerie creatures come from?

He also doesn't know why the Maggot Human Bone is just a walking corpse, while the Xuan Snake Clan members can possess wisdom.

But there is one thing he can be certain of: these people are likely related to that eerie whisper.

Because every time he hears that eerie whisper, Lin Yifan feels a creepy sensation, as if it could contaminate his soul and turn him into an eerie monster.

But none of that matters now!

What matters is that he finally has a way to deal with these things!

Without waiting for the other Xuan Snake Clan members to react, he immediately turned around, grabbed a fire stick from the fire, and smashed it at them.

His speed was too fast, and those few Mysterious Snake Clan members were so shocked and terrified by Peisi's death that they momentarily failed to react.

By the time the fire stick hit them, they had no time to dodge!

Moreover, even if they dodged, a single spark landing on them would instantly set them ablaze!

Thus, in less than a moment, the remaining seven or eight Xuan Snake Clan members also turned to ashes!

Having escaped death, Lin Yifan finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Although he is confident in his current strength, he also has to admit that facing this group of unkillable monsters, he is equally helpless.

If he hadn't found a way to break the situation, today would likely have been his death day!

Lin Yifan plopped down on the ground, his face full of the fatigue of having survived a disaster.

After resting for a while, he finally came to his senses, threw a few pieces of wood into the nearly extinguished fire, and the shelter that did not belong to him finally had light again.

He turned his head to look at the pile of leftover black cloaks, thought about it, and still couldn't bear to waste them.

He stood up and picked them up one by one, only to discover that the fabric of these cloaks was quite unusual.

Not only was the fabric incredibly smooth to the touch, but after his hand touched it, the material actually began to warm up on its own.

The temperature rose gradually, eventually becoming roughly the same as body temperature.

"Could it keep warm in winter and cool in summer?" Lin Yifan couldn't help but have an absurd thought.

Since he had a hypothesis, he naturally needed to test it.

Lin Yifan hesitated not at all, immediately took off his own clothes, and draped a black robe over himself.

Indeed, although the black robe looked extremely loose, when he put it on he found it fit him quite well.

At this moment the temperature had dropped below zero, and even he actually felt cold.

But as soon as he put on the black robe, he instantly felt warm all over, as if he couldn't sense the outside cold at all.

Lin Yifan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Although he didn't know if it would also keep cool in summer, its ability to keep warm in winter was already confirmed.

With such a warm black robe, he no longer needed to worry about the temperature dropping.

However, his joy didn't last long.

Because among the leftover pile of black robes, only one had the automatic warming effect, while the others actually had none.

The others were just ordinary fabric, perhaps only slightly better material.

This genuinely disappointed him somewhat.

But he didn't stay disappointed for long, after all, he only needed one robe for himself, and he couldn't wear that many anyway.

And Lin Yifan did not waste this batch of black robes lacking temperature control.

At least the fabric is good!

He had just felt it—the fabric was very skin-friendly, the close-fit feeling even better than silk, and giving it away as a gift would certainly earn him face.

So he gave one each to a few acquaintances nearby, such as Hong Shaoqiang and Ruan Qingtian.

He even gave one to Chen Yunuo.

The remaining few were simply tossed into his space and hidden away.

After putting away the black robes, only some dropped items remained on the ground.

Lin Yifan picked up all those dropped items.

Indeed, the stuff dropped by these not-quite-human, not-quite-ghost beings was actually quite a lot.

However, there was not a single piece of equipment, including inside their spatial bags, which likewise contained no equipment at all.

It's likely they thought they were immortal, so they didn't need any gear for protection.

But other items were plentiful, the most numerous being various talisman cards.

For example, the Teleportation Talisman he had long wanted came in thick stacks, roughly estimated at two to three hundred sheets.

Besides the Teleportation Talisman, there was also a huge pile of Water Avoidance Talismans, too many to count.

Roughly estimated, there were tens of thousands of them.

The Water Avoidance Talismans that the Heaven and Earth Society brings out to attract members obviously all come from here.

Moreover, besides these, Lin Yifan also found three special Teleportation Talismans among them.

【Short-Distance Boundary Crossing Talisman】

【Using this talisman, one can teleport to the nearest other region, and can stay there for six hours, after which they return to the original region.】

Lin Yifan held these three boundary-crossing talismans, his excited fingers trembling slightly.

Although everyone knows that regions like theirs number over eighty thousand.

But no one knows exactly where these regions are.

Moreover, no one knows how to go to other regions.

In this world, most people have relatives; who wouldn't want to go to another region to look for their own family?

Unfortunately, up to now, no one has found a way to go to other districts.

Although Lin Yifan has no relatives left, he still has a girlfriend.

Upon entering the district, he also went to look for his girlfriend, but he couldn't find her; clearly they are not in the same district.

Lin Yifan and his girlfriend's relationship isn't particularly deep; they hadn't been together long, and they had never lived together.

But a girlfriend is still a girlfriend; there's nothing to be done, so giving up the search is fine, but if there were a way, he would still want to look for her.

Now that he has these three sets of cross-boundary clothing, he can go check out the neighboring realm.

He just doesn't know whether his girlfriend is in the neighboring realm, but going to look for her is never wrong.

However, wanting to explore is one thing, but it's not the time to do so now.

The second round of heavenly disaster is about to begin; he must get through this round first before saying anything else.

Lin Yifan stored the three cross-boundary talismans in his storage ring, then continued to examine the other items.

The remaining items are mostly useless; there is some meat, part of it wind-dried, part cured, and part grilled.

As soon as Lin Yifan took out these meats, he smelled a strange odor that made him instantly nauseous.

Actually, these meats are quite well prepared, with lots of seasoning; if one ignores that strange smell, they are genuinely fragrant.

But he can't ignore it; it is purely a physiological aversion.
