Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 73: Withered vines, old trees, and crows

To wear it or not to wear it?

Lin Beixuan hesitated for just a moment and then took off the Fate-Black Feast and installed the Killing Star.

No matter whether he is a northern horse from outside the Great Wall or a vicious villain, in this chaotic secular land, only sufficiently strong strength can provide the capital for survival.

Luozhou is full of starving people, and countless people have died. Is there anyone coming to rescue them?
Since they have no strength, they can only starve to death. They ignite the fire in their hearts and raise an army of starving ghosts that sweeps across the world. They use the most essential desires in their hearts to engulf this collapsing world.

The secular child can be resurrected in this secular land, relying on his own life span in this world, although he must also bear the consequences of secularization at the same time.

The secular world turns over, the two worlds merge, and when the secular world invades the real world, it will be an unprecedented disaster.

Lin Beixuan has always been concerned with himself, so he is neither a good man nor a hero. In these troubled times, he can only do more by preserving himself first.

[It is detected that you have installed the temporary fate - Black Feast (blue), do you want to replace it with "Killer Star Coming". 】

【Note: The temporary fate will disappear after replacement.】

"Yes."

Lin Beixuan walked on the mountain path, looking straight ahead.

As the sun sets, countless old trees grow on both sides of the road. The vines become dry and forked due to water loss, as if traces of unknown years are carved diagonally in the cracks.

In the distance, a flock of crows were circling in the sky, making shrill cries, and occasionally flying and stopping on branches, their dark pupils watching Lin Beixuan who was slowly walking towards the mountains.

[You have successfully assumed the fate - the killer has come.]

As the fate pattern changed, Lin Beixuan's overall temperament changed in an instant. If he was like a proud noble in the dark night when he was wearing the Black Feast fate pattern before, he gradually returned to ordinary now. However, beneath this ordinariness, there was a terrifying ferocity.

The infant spirit seemed to sense the changes in Lin Beixuan. It quietly peeked out of the cloth bag to look up, avoiding the sunlight. Suddenly, it found that Lin Beixuan's figure was exceptionally tall, like a black wall standing in the light, which made it feel extremely at ease.

With the attributes of the Killer Star's fate plus the 13 points of strength accumulated by Lin Beixuan himself, his strength attribute has now exceeded the limit of 20, and his physical strength has reached the sum of the peak strength of three adults.

Imagine that an average adult can punch with a force of 200 kilograms at peak strength after training (the standard used here is muscle strength, not the impact force of the punch), but now Lin Beixuan can punch with a force of 600 kilograms.

It seems that the addition is not much, but when superimposed together it is already extremely terrifying. Moreover, after the strength exceeded 20 points, a new energy was born in Lin Beixuan's body, this time entrenched in his other arm.

Combined with the increase in one's own energy, a punch weighing a thousand pounds is not out of reach.

However, Lin Beixuan did not become complacent about this. Instead, he looked at his hands solemnly.

He dreamed of becoming a magician, but now he is moving more and more towards the direction of a warrior!
In the secular world, people mainly practice strange and bizarre ways. I wonder what kind of splash would be made if a person with the ability to move mountains jumped in?
Unable to figure it out, Lin Beixuan stopped hesitating, glanced at the dim sunset in the sky, and silently quickened his pace.

At night, evil spirits often move around, and people walking around freely are likely to attract prying eyes.

Lin Beixuan knew that his current strength was not that strong and he was still a long way from being able to open a house. At most, he only had some self-defense skills.

Up to now, the only person he had seen who had opened a mansion was Sun Tudi, whom the old beggar had been guarding.

"I don't know how far I have to go before I can open a government!"

Lin Beixuan recalled his state when he relied on the power of the Ghost Hall and the land of Huangshi Village, while looking for a place to stay in the mountains.

As night fell, occasional rustling sounds could be heard around, as if something was crawling in the woods. In the deep shadows, several pairs of scarlet eyes fell on Lin Beixuan.

"Woo..."

A wolf howl suddenly sounded, and the nearby wolf calls began to respond one after another. Wolves, whether in the secular world or in the real world, are social animals. There is a saying that a pack of wolves can fight a tiger.

If you encounter a wolf in the wild, there is an 80 percent chance that there are more wolves hiding near it.

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes, slowed down his pace, and tried not to make too much noise.

He wasn't sure if the wolves had noticed him, so he preferred to go slower to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately, sometimes things develop contrary to people's ideas. Under the full moon slowly rising in the sky, two vicious wolves appeared in front of him and blocked Lin Beixuan's way.

"I'm so unlucky!"

Lin Beixuan looked behind him and saw a few more beasts jumping out from the woods on both sides, blocking his way back.

It was obvious that these guys had set their sights on him.

Lin Beixuan sighed, counted the wolves, and put the cloth bag on the ground.

There is no way to escape. How can a person in the mountains be faster than a wolf? It would be better to find a tree and climb up.

However, Lin Beixuan did not plan to escape, but instead set his sights on a sturdy, shiny black wolf in the pack.

……

The night wind blew the leaves, and a cluster of flames lit up in the forest. Dry firewood surrounded the flames and gradually burned.

Lin Beixuan was shirtless, with several lacerated wounds on his back, and around him, five wolf corpses were neatly arranged.

Some of these corpses had their spines broken by a single punch, while others had their necks strangled alive. The causes of death varied.

The infant spirit walked out of the cloth bag carefreely, holding the evil-gathering bead in its little hands. It circled around the wolf corpse a few times like a little adult and nodded with satisfaction.

It pointed at the corpse of one of the wolves and asked Lin Beixuan for it. After getting Lin Beixuan's nod, it immediately pounced on it happily, bit through the wolf's throat with its sharp fangs, and drank up all the blood in the corpse.

After drinking it, the baby spirit patted his belly and burped comfortably.

Lin Beixuan saw this scene but did not stop it, but he was a little confused.

Logically speaking, ghosts like to eat human essence, and unlike zombies, they do not have the hobby of sucking blood. However, considering the special nature of infant spirits, we did not delve into it further.

It is better to suck the blood of wolves than to eat human essence. He cannot let the baby spirit starve with him. He cannot do such exploitative things as wanting the horse to run fast but not giving it grass to eat.

After resting on the spot and eating some dry food, Lin Beixuan set out again with the infant spirit, intending to find a cave, then light incense and return to the world.

"This should be considered leaving the Novice Village and opening a new map, right?"

Feeling the cool breeze brought by the night wind, Lin Beixuan smiled, and the wound on his back was slowly healing.

After walking for a few more hours, the baby spirit suddenly cried out and looked in one direction.

Lin Beixuan followed the infant spirit's gaze and saw a few wisps of light blue ghost fire swaying beside the road ahead, illuminating all directions.

Behind the will-o'-the-wisp was a desolate and dilapidated temple. On a plaque covered with cobwebs and dust, the three words "City God Temple" were written in large scarlet characters.
