Chapter 68

Although in a strict sense, Sun Sanniang and Jiao Qing, the parents of the original body, never had any formal intersection with Li Yu. When he possessed the body, the two were dead as dead could be.

But to this day, Li Yu still takes the two out to whip the corpse from time to time.

But seriously, this couple was just ordinary people who accidentally embarked on the path of cultivation. Whether it was their temperament or aptitude, they were actually not up to standard, and it was normal not to know how to explore flexibly.

A disaster like Li Yu who loves to toss is the minority.

He held Hongdou, who had transformed into a mechanical fox, and came to the pitch-black airship.

It seemed he didn't bring any luggage, as if he was really just going out of the city to find secret medicine materials and would return home soon.

In fact, he had brought all his belongings.

As for that residence, the fragrant establishment of the City Lord's Mansion... compared to freedom and life, all can be thrown away.

Especially today, he had another contact with the six people of the Ninth Exploration Team. The evil that radiated so naturally made him more determined to escape Wanfu City.

You know!

Compared to the controllers of the other four districts, the people in the City Lord's Mansion are already considered restrained. They even abide by the law and will compensate the only survivor of the accident, but they are still all evil cultivators who are extremely vicious.

With thoughts flickering, Li Yu had come to a black-robed evil cultivator who had been staring at him in front of the airship.

As soon as he approached, he immediately saw the other party's body, which had clearly undergone "flesh and blood mechanical transformation"—a mechanical arm, a mechanical prosthetic eye flashing red light.

Glancing at the airship again, the remaining two people responsible for the operation were also of similar appearance.

A faint realization in his heart, he guessed:

"Reasonable!"

"It seems that this smuggling industrial chain in the South District should be controlled by some officials responsible for guarding the city under the overlord 【Sacred Nest】."

"It's also normal. It's a fool not to use power. This is better, safe and reliable."

"You are number thirteen? You are the only one left. You are really slow, and you even brought a mechanical fox pet."

"Pay, reach out your hand."

The half-mechanical evil cultivator said with a face full of impatience.

Li Yu wore a fox mask, his face unknown to others, just silently handed over a stack of silver notes with a not-small amount, eight thousand taels.

That's right, he had money again, and it was a huge sum he had just received.

The source is very simple. The City Lord's Mansion's salary is paid daily. This establishment is really fragrant.

As for this smuggling fee, which is much less than the proper fee to leave the household, it seems very reasonable.

But Li Yu was also extremely certain that the so-called proper channel to redeem and leave the city must be a scam.

Because the next moment, he had to reach out and let this half-mechanical evil cultivator use brutal means to forcibly implant an item that looked like a "bronze chip" into the back of Li Yu's hand.

Subsequently, this thing seemed to have life, or it would be attracted by Li Yu's heartbeat, and went directly along the blood vessels toward Li Yu's heart.

"This is a spirit energy copper core, to prevent you from running away."

"But don't worry, it will be taken out immediately after returning to the city. This little thing is very expensive."

"Go up, leave immediately."

Li Yu boarded the airship and sat down in the only remaining empty seat.

In his heart, he muttered: "Heh, even smuggling passengers who paid money have to use means to ensure their return. Clearly, Wanfu City implements a policy of wide entry and strict exit. A mere ten or twenty thousand redemption fee is not enough. Wanfu City residents will only have two paths: either climb up at all costs, or be squeezed to death."

At the same time, the mechanical fox in his bosom, which seemed to be moving around, suddenly leaned into his ear, and a mechanical voice that only he could hear came:

"Master!"

"Locked onto 【Spirit Energy Copper Core】, can use permission to modify or destroy it at any time."

"Don't move."

Li Yu said one thing with two meanings, pressing Hongdou back into his bosom.

The next moment, the whole airship trembled slightly. Accompanied by the rapidly dissipating black smoke, it floated up like a ghost, and after a layer of black energy shield appeared, it perfectly integrated into the night, heading outside the South Gate.

In this process, everyone on the airship could see the various mechanical fortresses, towering artillery towers, etc., that could be called strict below, and there were also searchlights scanning back and forth.

Logically speaking, it should have triggered an alarm and been shot down long ago.

But it didn't. This black light airship just left the city so blatantly.

Suddenly, quite a few of the smuggling passengers who were the first time like Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and let out exclamations.

Perhaps because everyone was gathering together to commit crimes secretly, belonging to grasshoppers on a rope, plus now confirming safety, their heart defense loosened. Soon, some chatterboxes among the dozen people began to chat enthusiastically.

From their dress, idle talk, and the aura that occasionally leaked out, Li Yu could vaguely guess the purpose of some people smuggling out of the city.

"The one with a strong corpse stench on his body, is he wanting to go to the three nations to steal the corpses of righteous god sect practitioners?"

"Those few women who are wrapped tightly but are all exuding charming aura, should all be wanting to disperse to some cities in the three nations, seize the Flower Queen, and complete the ritual."

"There are also a few monks from the West District, I'm afraid they are wanting to go to the Buddhist territory to do some stealing of Buddha infusion."

"Heh, those two vegetable people in the corner, did they hear that a certain city in the Qian Nation suffered a disaster and a great famine, suitable for the two to advance to blood slaves?"

Indeed, as Luo Sheng said, the reasons for leaving the city are five flowers and eight doors. It is not easy to operate in Wanfu City, or the cost is high.

Since this is the case, it is reasonable for this smuggling industrial chain to gradually mature. Li Yu observed silently, and various signs seemed to indicate: this trip he is likely to fulfill his wish.

Just when he was thinking this, the airship trembled again. In the flickering black light, everyone saw a gust of wind carrying ghost-blue ice mist sweeping over.

In front, an extremely shocking scene appeared:

A continuous, boundless, and endless frozen plain broke into the eyes of all smuggling passengers.

Every place was shrouded in cold mist that never dissipated all year round. Even through the shield, everyone seemed to be able to feel the bone-chilling cold inside, and because of these cold mists, no one could see the specific scenes on the frozen plain, those frozen soil, plants on it, or whether there were creatures... all these were shrouded in mist.

As the airship climbed rapidly in altitude, everyone occasionally glimpsed some horrifying shadows or strange ghost lights flashing in the mist.

The more they looked, the more terror accumulated in their hearts.

Li Yu couldn't help but feel terrified in his heart and chose to close his eyes.

Abruptly at this time, a man covered in corpse stench in the seat next to Li Yu, don't know what he saw, first revealed a face full of obsession, then as if encountering the most terrifying torture in the world, wailed and screamed without warning.

His body also underwent strange changes.

One after another, fist-sized pustules flashing green light grew all over his body in almost two or three breaths.

=9+Shu_Ba

Before Li Yu could frown and retreat, laser beams shot over, squeezing the pustules accurately, and then strips of strange insects with distorted human faces and covered in mucus appeared, their tails rooted in the evil cultivator's body, and their heads protruding.

They even divided into "male and female." The female insects had protrusions on their chests, and the male insects had strange objects below.

It seemed like real human men and women, shrunk and alienated into this appearance.

At this moment, they swayed in the air, trying to lean toward each other, hug, and mate, and even made strange calls in human voices from their mouths: "Corpse~ Corpse~ Corpse."

The half-mechanical evil cultivator who picked up everyone on the airship put down his mechanical arm that was smoking, and walked over quickly while laughing loudly.

He grabbed the corpse cultivator who had fallen into some negative state, laughed loudly, tied him to the bronze pillar in the middle of the airship, and then started pulling out the insects, laughing:

"Good luck this time. This idiot was accidentally taken a fancy to by the 【Corpse Mother Forbidden Mystic】, who used his body as a hotbed and sent so many seeds."

"The value of a corpse insect is not cheap. This trip is going to be a blood-earning deal."

After saying this, he turned his head, not caring at all, revealing a sinister look, and smiled at everyone.

"You are all smart people, you should be able to realize the danger of forbidden areas like the Ten Thousand Mystic Frozen Plain."

"If you don't have the ability, you shouldn't peek at the secrets in the frozen plain."

"Otherwise, if something happens, you will become the fun and benefits of our trip."

Clearly, the reason his warning came late was also intentional.

Smuggling a trip, they deliberately didn't say some taboos, in order to find fun and get some benefits.

There must also be means to cover up the danger beyond the limit.

And after this half-mechanical evil cultivator finished speaking, he changed the subject and comforted everyone.

"Don't worry, one fun is enough."

"Now that we are just on the road, we are still in the peripheral area of the forbidden area. Next, as long as you don't seek death, you can safely pass through the Ten Thousand Mystic Frozen Plain."

"This path has been opened for many years, and we have walked it so many times without any accidents..."

This guy, it would be better not to say these things.

Whether it was the change of the corpse cultivator or his pretentious intimidation, Li Yu heard it with no waves in his heart.

Until these two sentences entered his ears, Li Yu's face changed slightly, and a very ominous premonition emerged in his heart.

It was also at this moment!

The change that no one expected descended abruptly.

Accompanied by a series of violent explosions, a mechanical building ship rushed out from the cold mist in front at a very fast speed.

It was covered in fire, the shield was damaged, lasers were shooting wildly, and it collided with the smuggling airship in an instant.

Although the mechanical building ship was already severely damaged, there was a difference in body size between the two sides.

In an instant, there was a result.

Both crashed!

Two large and small mechanical fireballs fell straight toward the frozen plain.

Inside the airship, Li Yu grabbed his seat tightly.

In his ears, Hongdou's mechanical voice kept coming:

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Warning, warning! Encountered an accident, Master has a risk of losing his life."

"Initiating deformation module, recovering human form..."

Li Yu could hear these words, and even he himself subconsciously began to think about which spirit pill he should take to better save his life.

But at the same time, some uncontrollable thoughts emerged in his mind:

"How many times is this?"

"In the Mystic Domain Spirit Realm, such changes are very reasonable. Why is the real world also like this?"

"Could it be that that night, the Calamity Star Token originally intended to choose me?"

"Am I really a disaster?"
