It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 621 The Corpse of the Evil God, the Hungry Liu Zheng

The mountain road of Duangen Mountain is not particularly rugged, but it is the winding mountain road that Liu Zheng hates the most.

For a period of time, he was sent on a business trip to Guizhou Province, and the winding mountain roads there made him nauseous.

The mountain road on Duangen Mountain is like a mosquito coil, winding and turning.

Fortunately, his physical condition is now extraordinary, otherwise he would have vomited on the spot.

Are those the root-cut flowers?

Liu Zheng pointed to the small flowers growing everywhere on both sides of the mountain road and asked.

The little flowers had purple petals with yellow spots that looked like eyes, while the leaves and stems were dark green, making them look as evil as their name suggested.

"That's right, these are the 'rootless flowers.' The ancestor who discovered them lost his fertility completely because he stayed there for too long. The family spared no expense in sending him to the hospital, but they still couldn't cure him, and he ended up becoming a teaching material for the hospital. Alas."

Bai San sighed.

"Then your Bai family is quite generous."

Hospitals are not places that only the wealthy dare to send their money to.

"It's not about being generous to everyone. We naturally tend to favor those with potential or those who have made contributions to the family. Otherwise, where would the cohesion come from?"

"That's how families are. Our predecessors paved the way through hardship, and our descendants enjoy the shade of their trees. But our predecessors also paved the way before us, and our descendants will plant trees for those who come after us, so that the family can thrive and prosper generation after generation."

Bai San said.

"But there are always some people who only want to enjoy themselves and don't want to suffer any losses."

"That's how it is. That's why it's not easy for the family to maintain itself, and the head of the family is always working hard."

Bai San sighed.

"Indeed, I don't even have a family yet. I just help out acquaintances, and I'm already incredibly busy every day."

Liu Zheng glanced at Niu Daji and the Nile River doctor.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm the one helping you now, okay?"

Niu Daji lowered his head in shame, while the Nile Doctor glared back at him.

"I didn't say anything about you, so why are you feeling guilty?"

Liu Zheng pursed his lips.

"Whoever feels guilty knows it in their heart."

The Nile doctor proudly raised his head.

"whispering sound."

"This root-cutting flower becomes rarer the higher you go up the mountain, but its medicinal effects also become stronger. When you reach the top of the mountain, the petals will all turn yellow, and the medicinal effects will reach their peak. My ancestor stayed on the mountaintop for too long, and in the end, he was beyond cure."

Bai San smiled and continued his introduction.

"Are we going to go to the top of the mountain?"

"Yes, we need to go down the mountain via another path from the top."

Bai San nodded.

"Good heavens, who built this mountain road? How could they be so malicious?"

he complained.

"That's unknown. However, my ancestors speculated that this road was not built by a demon king, but rather formed by countless creatures climbing the mountain over millions of years."

Bai San replied.

"Why? Don't they know that cutting the roots of the flower will make them sterile?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

“An animal’s instincts are sometimes more acute than its intelligence, and it should know that. But sometimes when it is injured or sick, it can’t care even if it knows that there is something wrong with these flowers. If it is seriously injured, eating the flowers below will not cure it, so it can only eat the flowers while walking up the mountain, and that’s how the mountain path was made.”

Bai San said.

Life always finds a way out.

He recalled a sentence he had seen in real life.

"That's right, that's what I mean. Mr. Liu is not only exceptionally courageous, but also has such excellent literary talent. He is truly a man of both literary and martial prowess."

Bai San pondered those words for a moment, then said with admiration.

"I was just repeating what others had said."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Fourth brother, go full speed ahead to cross this mountain."

he ordered.

"okay."

The fourth brother floored the accelerator, and the furious roar of the engine echoed through the mountains.

Fortunately, the explosion-proof vehicle was equipped with an air-repelling array; otherwise, given the holes in the vehicle, it's unimaginable how loud the noise would be at such high speeds.

Thanks to Lao Si's driving skills and the performance advantages of the explosion-proof vehicle itself, the group quickly arrived at the top of the mountain.

As Bai San said, there were indeed far fewer broken-root flowers on the mountaintop.

The pure yellow broken-root flower looks much better than the purple-spotted one, and even has a touch of freshness.

"Speaking of which, does this flower have any other side effects besides causing sterility?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Nothing."

Is the sterilization process painful?

he asked again.

"No, there won't be any physical changes, including the continued activity of reproductive cells. But you just won't be able to conceive or impregnate someone else. It's more like a curse than a drug."

Bai San shook his head.

"Could it be that there's actually an evil god buried in these mountains, and these flowers grew from his corpse?"

Liu Zheng had a flash of inspiration.

"It's not impossible; in fact, some members of our family have even suggested similar ideas."

Bai San actually confirmed his idea.

"Why didn't you verify it?"

"Mr. Liu."

Bai San looked at him with a strange expression.

“Not everyone is as powerful as you. If we really unearth an evil god, let alone whether we can handle it, if the city hall finds out, they will definitely deal with us afterward.”

"Ok."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

He'd done so many outrageous things that he'd forgotten the metropolis was actually a place with strict rules.

The metropolis has many high-voltage power lines, and the one that is called "God's" is one of the thickest.

If you go too far down the path related to the gods, you can easily end up in places that are considered taboo.

The reason why Liu Zheng caused trouble everywhere under the guise of being favored by the gods, and even had divine mandate in his hands, was that the city hall did not come after him because he was part of the taboo.

A blood-soaked restaurant is one of the biggest taboos in the metropolis.

"Brother Fourth, stop the car, I'm going to pick some flowers."

Liu Zheng gave the order.

This special feature might come in handy someday.

Anyway, he has the broken mandarin duck purse, so he's not afraid of the fragrance of the flowers being leaked out.

"I'll go."

The Nile doctor stopped him.

"I was originally infertile, so the doctor is more professional than you."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, doctor."

Liu Zheng did not argue with him.

Are you two both idiots?

"It's panda," the panda suddenly said.

"what happened?"

The two looked at him.

"Even if you put the broken-rooted flower into your storage space, you'll still have the fragrance on you. When you come back, you'll bring the fragrance with you."

"Yes."

Liu Zheng and the Nile River doctor suddenly realized.

They are both usually meticulous thinkers, but even they can make mistakes sometimes.

"You'll have to rely on me when it matters most. Where's your storage equipment? Bring it here."

The panda extends one of its paws.

"for you."

Liu Zheng placed the severed mandarin duck purse on its paw.

"How much do you want?"

"The panda asked."

"Let's pick twenty flowers."

He estimated the number of broken-rooted flowers in his field of vision and said.

Twenty flowers is roughly equivalent to casually picking some while passing by; it shouldn't cause any major problems.

"You're not greedy at all. As you wish, as you desire, transform quickly according to my will."

The panda opened its mouth and spat out a cloud shaped like a ruyi (a traditional Chinese symbol of good fortune), then recited an incantation to transform it into a bear paw.

Cloud Claw flew out of the blast-proof vehicle with the severed mandarin duck purse in its grip, and then began collecting broken flower roots along the surrounding area.

"You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve." Liu Zheng patted its head approvingly.

"Of course, I am a true disciple of the Xuanmen sect!"

The panda said proudly.

"His fighting skills are a bit lacking."

The Nile doctor delivered the final blow.

"What do you know? Of all the arts of cultivation, those that help with cultivation are the most important. As for those combat techniques, you don't need to learn them."

The panda retorted.

Then came incomprehensible phrases like "abandoning the trivial and pursuing the essential," "cultivating both body and mind," and "those who cultivate the Tao do not have a desire to win," instantly filling the armored vehicle with a cheerful atmosphere.

Soon, Cloud Claw collected all the broken-root flowers and returned to the bomb disposal vehicle with the severed mandarin duck pouch in hand.

"There is a question."

The cloud claws dissipated, and the severed mandarin duck purse fell into Liu Zheng's arms.

"Can you smell something?"

He picked up the purse and seemed to faintly smell a fragrance.

"No."

Everyone smelled it for a while, then shook their heads.

"Mr. Liu, what does it taste like?"

Bai San asked.

"It's hard to describe, but it tastes like stewed meat with spices."

Liu Zheng took a careful sniff and then said.

"That shouldn't be the scent of the rootless flower. According to records, the fragrance of the rootless flower should be like a combination of orchid and osmanthus."

Bai San shook his head.

"Could it be the smell of your cloud vapor?"

He asked suspiciously.

"How could that be? My cloud has no smell at all, okay? If it has a smell, it's just a little bit picked up from the outside."

The panda won't take the blame for this.

"No, it smells better and better."

Liu Zheng twitched his nostrils, his expression gradually becoming dazed.

"Boy, are you okay?"

The Nile doctor sensed something was wrong.

"It's nothing, it just smells really good, and I really want to eat something."

As he spoke, he took out the broken flower from the broken mandarin duck purse and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Yes, yes, that's the taste, it smells so good."

Liu Zheng chewed the flower with gusto, a happy smile on his face.

"Oh no, there's something wrong with this flower. Niu Daji, control your boss!"

"The Nile doctor shouted."

"Good doctor."

Niu Daji trusted the Nile River doctor quite a bit and immediately hugged Liu Zheng tightly.

The Nile doctor, with lightning speed, pulled out the broken-root flower that he hadn't had time to swallow and threw it out of the car.

"Bai San, what's going on?"

Looking at Liu Zheng, who was still swallowing, he asked sternly.

"I... I don't know. We've also done experiments with broken-rooted flowers from the mountaintop, and this has never happened before."

Bai San replied nervously and blankly.

"Liu Zheng, are you still conscious?"

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Dr. Nile turned his attention back to Liu Zheng.

"I'm perfectly lucid. I'm just hungry and want to eat something. What's wrong, doctor?"

Liu Zheng also looked bewildered.

"Do you only want to eat the broken-root flower, or do you want to eat everything?"

he asked.

"Huh? What is a 'root-severing flower'?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"It's what you just ate."

“That’s not a rootless flower, that’s food. Food has no other name, food doesn’t need another name, food shouldn’t have another name.”

he said seriously.

"Looks like you were right."

The Nile doctor's face was ashen.

Clearly, Liu Zheng's perception is now flawed, and he has failed to detect the presence of magic.

Based on his experience, this situation must be related to the gods.

"You want to eat, right? Open your mouth."

"The Nile doctor commanded."

"Ah~"

Liu Zheng obediently opened his mouth wide.

The Nile doctor took out a scarab beetle and squeezed it hard, dripping a mixture of the beetle's body fluids and excrement into Liu Zheng's mouth.

Looking at the dead scarab in his hand, Dr. Nile shed a single, cloudy tear.

These scarabs were bred by him generation after generation; to him they were sacred objects, helpers, and even family members.

Now that he had killed a scarab beetle with his own hands, he felt as if he had killed a family member.

But in order to save Liu Zheng, the Nile doctor had no other choice but to do this.

He didn't bother wiping away his tears. He reached into the bandage on his buttocks, pulled out a large clump of bodily grime, and stuffed it into Liu Zheng's mouth, forcing Liu Zheng to swallow it.

"You all step back."

"The Nile doctor commanded."

He is currently the strongest player on the field and has the closest relationship with Liu Zheng, so it is only natural that he has taken over the command.

"Yes."

Everyone obeyed and shrank to the back of the carriage, except for Panda, who did not follow the order.

"I am, after all, a member of the orthodox Xuanmen sect. Even if I can't help you, I certainly won't hold you back."

Meeting the Nile Doctor's gaze, it said.

"Ah."

The Nile doctor nodded and observed Liu Zheng's changes.

Soon, Liu Zheng, who had taken two doses of the secret medicine, began to experience a reaction.

"yue!"

He made violent vomiting noises and then vomited up piece after piece of vomit.

Upon closer inspection, they were actually mouths filled with sharp teeth, just like his own.

"So hungry!"

"I really want to eat!"

"Food! I want food!"

"Food! Give me food!"

They chattered amongst themselves for a while, and then, as if they had planned it all along, they rushed outside together.

The Nile doctor, of course, wouldn't let them escape, and immediately summoned the solar disk.

"In the name of Ra, purify evil!"

With his roar, the sun disk shot out rays that precisely struck each mouth, burning them to ashes.

Liu Zheng kept vomiting, and he kept shooting until Liu Zheng had nothing left to vomit.

Seeing Liu Zheng dry heaving, Dr. Nile breathed a sigh of relief.

"A bandaged zombie, its mouth is growing out of the back of a thug's head."

Just as he was preparing to take the next step in treatment, the panda suddenly spoke.

"what?"

He quickly went around to Liu Zheng's back and saw that the latter's head was covered with mouths, which looked disgusting and terrifying.

"It's really difficult."

The Nile doctor had a headache.

Indeed, diseases related to deities are indeed troublesome.

"It seems I'll have to teach you a lesson. Great Ra, your eyes give birth to all light, your eyes illuminate all darkness, your eyes see through all secrets, your eyes contain all wisdom."

As the Nile doctor prayed, the sun disk above his head gradually shrank, transforming into a long, sharp eye like that of a hawk.

Then, he reached for Liu Zheng's eye socket, intending to gouge out his eyes.

At this moment, seemingly sensing the approaching danger, Liu Zheng, who had been obediently cooperating, suddenly pulled away from Dr. Nile's hand and rammed into the already precarious vehicle.

"Stop him!"

"The Nile doctor shouted."
