Chapter 23: Ah? Is it already over? What about those three tremendously powerful superhumans?
Under the scorching of Blood Flame, Ye Xiu gradually felt no pain, as the blood in his body was about to be baked dry and he was losing consciousness.
"I'm not willing!!!"
Before completely losing consciousness, he let out an unwilling roar, then collapsed to the ground, completely motionless, and the blazing blood flames gradually extinguished.
Finally, three charred corpses appeared before Su Hao's eyes.
"Why would you seek death by provoking me?"
Su Hao shook his head, having used Blood Flame Technique on a supernatural monster and two superhumans, consuming a lot of mental power, feeling his head a bit swollen.
After adjusting his condition for a moment, he walked up to the nearest Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior, bent down, picked up his giant axe, hefted it twice in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.
"The feel is still good!"
Since becoming a flesh controller, Su Hao's physique has greatly improved; his one-handed strength now exceeds that of a professional weightlifter by a bit.
With this great strength, the serrated long blade feels light and awkward in hand, while the Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior's giant axe feels just right when he holds it.
Once he synthesizes it one or two times into a supernatural weapon, it can replace the serrated long blade—
"Damn, I'm a mage wielding a giant axe as a weapon—this vibe feels weird!"
Su Hao shook his head with a smile, casually tossed the giant axe into his Storage Bag, and said they'd discuss it later when suitable materials were available.
If he could really synthesize a powerful supernatural weapon, even if the vibe is weird, there's no reason not to use it.
Afterwards, Su Hao thought, and stored the corpses of the Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior, Ye Xiu, and Ma Tao into his storage space.
These guys: one is a supernatural monster, the other two are superhumans; refining their corpses would likely yield supernatural materials.
As for refining human corpses, whether it would cause Su Hao psychological obstacles—definitely not.
In his previous life, he had seen plenty of people eating people; now his mind is as tough as iron, so how could refining human corpses give him psychological obstacles?
To survive in the apocalypse, one must make use of everything usable.
Moreover, Su Hao refining Ye Xiu's corpses prevents them from being eaten by degenerate creatures or taken by other intelligent species for food; if they knew, they'd probably thank Su Hao.
However, he doesn't plan to start refining right here, because there are many people and eyes around; he tries to avoid exposing more abilities if possible.
"Hey? There's another Storage Bag? Not bad!"
After storing the three corpses, a grayish Storage Bag appeared where Ye Xiu's corpse had been.
A Storage Bag can store unconscious corpses, but a Storage Bag with storage capability cannot, so this Storage Bag was left where it fell.
Su Hao smiled slightly, picked up this Storage Bag, tucked it into his bosom, planning to open it later when he returns.
Afterwards, he glanced at the surrounding people, thought for a moment, and decided to help them remove the toxins in their bodies—after all, it's just detoxification, consuming little.
Bada—!
With Su Hao's light snap, blood-red flames ignited on everyone present.
Having just seen Ye Xiu and the others burned to death by these flames, they harbored deep fear of Blood Flame.
Now seeing blood-red flames ignite on their own bodies, they couldn't help but cry out in alarm, and some even jumped up in fright.
"Boss, we saw nothing, please spare us—I have an eighty-year-old mother above and a newborn child below to support!"
"I also saw nothing; I was born blind, I can't see… huh? Wait, why don't I feel any pain?"
"You say that, and it really doesn't hurt at all—wait! My strength seems to have returned?!"
"You idiots, the Boss is detoxifying us—can't you see? For trash like us, do we deserve the Boss to silence us? You're overestimating yourselves!"
After saying that, everyone stopped wailing and began trying to stand up, moving their bodies a bit.
After confirming they were not burned by the Blood Flame and that their internal toxins had been completely cleared, their eyes shifted from fear to shock.
"What a godlike Boss—just a moment ago, he used this flame to burn three superhumans into dried corpses."
The next moment, he used this flame to detoxify everyone's internal toxins.
Both are superhumans, why is the gap so huge?
Is it that those three superhumans are too weak, or is Su Hao this superhuman too strong?
After a little thought, they all felt that even if superhumans were weak, three against one shouldn't be instantly killed.
So, Su Hao is just too strong—strong enough to one-shot three opponents.
Understanding that Su Hao meant no harm and had detoxified them from the soft bone powder, the surrounding people all breathed a sigh of relief, clasping their fists to thank Su Hao.
"Thank you, Boss, for saving my life—if there's anything else, just command me; I'll go through fire and water for you."
"Me too!"
"To be honest, with just two snaps from the Boss, he instantly killed three superhumans and over twenty goblins—people like us, insignificant as we are, truly can't help if something happens."
"Just a moment ago those three superhumans were so awesome, and now they're dead like that—it feels like a dream… Damn, why did you slap me?!"
"I also feel like it's a dream, but seeing your reaction, it seems that scene really happened—Boss is really damn strong!"
"Thanks to the Boss this time, otherwise relying on those pitiful Flower Spirit Elves, I'd probably be done for."
……
Talking and talking, the people began complaining again about the Flower Spirit Elf Clan, thinking that if the clan had done better defense, they wouldn't have encountered this danger.
However, Su Hao had a different view on these people's words.
This is the apocalypse after all—even eating and drinking in the wild could bring danger; since you chose to attend the trade fair, you must be prepared for danger.
Relying on others for safety is a mindset destined not to last long.
When Su Hao decided to join the trade fair, he had prepared for the dangers he might face and also prepared responses.
Thus, when Ye Xiu's plot was exhausted and the dagger appeared, Su Hao showed no panic and did not blame the Flower Spirit Elves.
Moreover, at the critical moment, Flower Yao wanted to stay behind to cover the retreat, which already counts as doing her utmost; if it were someone else, they'd likely have slipped away silently.
Furthermore, the Flower Spirit Elves merely sent out the trade fair invitation; it wasn't that these people were greedy, wanting to use this opportunity to obtain useful resources and meet survivors, which is why they came to the trade fair.
Now that danger has arisen, blaming all problems on the Flower Spirit Elves is enough.
However, the Flower Spirit Elf Clan's simple nature made them feel ashamed hearing the accusations, lowering their heads.
Huayao's eye sockets reddened slightly; she jumped down from the table, walked to Su Hao's side, took a deep breath, composed herself, lifted her head, and said solemnly:
"This time, thanks to you, you saved everyone; our Flower Spirit Elf Clan owes you a favor. Ask for whatever you need—no matter what it is, we will do our utmost to meet your request!"
