Chapter 38 The Crippled One Stepped on a Nail
Half an hour later.

Cao Yu drove to Haishan Cemetery, located southeast of the City of Truth.

An Li had already removed and put away her monocle on the way, and replaced it with the "Dust-Free Golden Ring".

If it weren't for the need to test genetic information beforehand, she probably wouldn't have changed the items until the end of the dungeon.

This is considered a common practice among players.

While the game does not limit the number of items players can use, changing items requires time to rebuild the mental connection.

When you're in a dungeon, danger can strike at any time. Therefore, keeping your best items in your item slots is a safer approach.

After parking the car, the two took Zheng Yi's information, asked the cemetery staff for advice, and then entered the cemetery and quickly found Zheng Yi's grave.

The tombstone is engraved with Zheng Yi's name and some simple information.

“This cemetery is full of ashes; you probably won’t find any valuable information here,” An Li said to Cao Yu. “What was your reason for choosing this place?”

Actually, her first thought was to go to Zheng Yi's house.

A cemetery is considered as an alternative.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yu made the opposite choice... She was a little curious about the reason.

"There's no real reason. It's just a choice between home and grave. If one doesn't work out, we'll go to the other." Cao Yu casually said, "There's a saying that graves bury the past. Just take that as your reason."

"..." An Li asked, "What should we do now? Should we just dig up the grave and investigate?"

"Don't rush," Cao Yu said with a smile. "Just in case, let me add some buffs first."

After saying that, he took out a mental potion and a physical potion from his storage space and drank them both.

Seeing this, An Li immediately followed suit.

She not only drank the medicine, but also released her two corpse puppets.

One of them is a "Faceless One" obtained from the previous dungeon. It possesses powerful physical attributes and can also manipulate blood to form a shield for defense, making it comparable in strength to a D-rank player.

The other one resembled a werewolf after its transformation, with an unusually large body, ferocious mouthparts, and long, sharp claws, looking like the embodiment of violence.

"Your superpower even comes with a puppet storage function?" Cao Yu asked curiously. "I didn't see you use it in the last dungeon."

"The new superpower effect unlocked after the evolution level is increased to 10%," An Li replied.

"Hey, you rich people, once you clear the first dungeon and unlock the transfer permission, you're all set for life."

Cao Yu sighed softly.

This society is truly full of injustice!

Look at him, he can only barely make ends meet by activating a system and buying the number 11 superpower.

As a fellow enthusiast, An Li naturally didn't hold back in offering comfort:
"It's only about 10%. The evolution rate at the E-level is easy to improve, but it's hard to say what will happen later. With your abilities, you'll probably stand out soon."

"By the way," Cao Yu looked at the corpse puppet and asked An Li, "why are there only two?"

“This dungeon wasn’t in my plans. I only came because you called me,” An Li replied. “Some of the corpse materials I bought from the black market haven’t arrived yet. Originally, I planned to wait until they all arrived and I had filled up the puppet slots before going into the dungeon.”

She looked at Cao Yu and suggested:
"After we leave this dungeon, you can come find me, and I'll let you go first..."

"The conditions are right, it's time for us to move in."

Cao Yu interrupted An Li, then murmured "The bloody wind cannot melt bones," and transformed into a zombie, pointing to Zheng Yi's grave not far away.

With the "Golden Ring of Lichen" in hand, An Li naturally had to do the rough and tiring work.

Seeing this, An Li temporarily put aside her intention to invite him and murmured the name of the prop.

A powerful repulsive force blasted towards the tomb, trying to tear open the ground and dig out what was hidden inside.

The next moment, An Li realized something was wrong and quickly said, "It's hard here, abnormally hard!"

Just then, the surroundings suddenly became quiet... no, deathly silent.

Not to mention the sound of mosquitoes, even the sound of the wind has disappeared.

In the blink of an eye... the world suddenly changed.

What was originally a cemetery has been transformed into a jungle of flesh and blood.

The ground as far as the eye could see was covered in blood and flesh, tombstones were submerged in a sea of ​​crimson, and the air was thick with the stench of blood. Even the sunlight shining into the cemetery turned scarlet under the reflection of the sea of ​​flesh.

Outside the cemetery, however, everything appears normal.

Only this small area, cut off from the world by flesh and blood, visually forms a chilling abyss.

An Li tensed up, on guard against the possible appearance of flesh-and-blood monsters, while also increasing the output of her props.

Cao Yu then charged towards Zheng Yi's tomb, intending to tear the concrete tomb apart with his claws. His strength, of course, was no match for An Li's props.

However, his attacks are invincible and can break through anything; no matter how hard such a tangible object is, it cannot stop him.

Just then, the flesh and blood covering the ground suddenly came to life, surging and rolling like waves on the sea, one after another.

Large amounts of flesh and blood, like lava erupting from a volcano, soared into the air, coalesced into enormous tentacles, and slammed towards An Li and Cao Yu.

The waves of flesh and blood on the ground restricted their movement, threatening to drown and bind them.

The fleshy tentacles in the air crashed down with tremendous force, intending to crush the two of them into mud.

This time, it's not a crisis of flesh and blood monsters.

The sea of ​​flesh and blood covering the cemetery... is a monster in itself!

An Li had no choice but to abandon her plan to destroy the tomb. She used the "Dust-Free Golden Ring" to lift herself and the two corpse puppets into the air, freeing them from the shackles of the waves of flesh and blood. She then dodged to the side to avoid the blows from the fleshy tentacles.

Just as she was about to control the two corpse puppets and launch a counterattack, she suddenly discovered that Cao Yu was still charging forward, showing no intention of dodging.

With a loud bang, a tentacle as large as a behemoth slammed into Cao Yu's head. The enormous impact shook the ground covered in blood and flesh, causing the entire cemetery to tremble and unleashing even more violent waves of blood and flesh.

This strike is enough to kill any E-level player!
Even with purely defensive E-rank items, whether they can withstand the attack is uncertain.

Floating in the air, An Li stared intently and discovered that Cao Yu's body was abnormally pierced by tentacles, which emerged from the surface, and he was uttering incomprehensible words:

"Hey, Tiancan stepped on a nail."

*Thud*—Cao Yu swept his arms outwards, his sharp claws slashing horizontally, tearing apart the flesh and blood in front of him with the ferocity of a demon god. His speed did not diminish at all, and in two seconds he pierced through layers of flesh and blood barriers. His sharp claws were deeply embedded in Zheng Yi's concrete tomb, like two sharp swords constantly slashing, tearing the tomb and tombstone to shreds.

After doing all this, his body was also deeply immersed in a sea of ​​flesh and blood, with walls of flesh and blood reconnecting and merging above his head.

Trapped inside, he couldn't even breathe.

However, Cao Yu did not panic.

In his zombie form, his physical abilities are extremely superior; even in the midst of intense battle, he can hold his breath for five or six minutes without any problem.

However, his superpowers won't last that long.

Cao Yu leaped up, tearing apart the thick wall of flesh and blood above his head, emerging from the sea of ​​blood and landing in mid-air.

At this moment, Zheng Yi's grave had been destroyed, and Cao Yu and An Li simultaneously gained a new memory—information about Zheng Yi.

The truth buried in the grave was revealed to the world as the grave crumbled.

Cao Yu, mid-air, shouted to An Li, "Let's go!"

After he finished speaking, his body, pulled by gravity, fell back into the sea of ​​flesh below.

An Li manipulated the repulsive force to wrap herself up and fly out of the cemetery.

Cao Yu then leaped one after another, escaping the cemetery right behind An Li.

After losing its target, the cemetery gradually returned to calm, and everything returned to normal.

However, neither Cao Yu nor An Li had any intention of going back in.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved.

An Li stopped using the props, put away the two corpse puppets, and then casually took out a bottle of potion from her storage space and drank it.

Seeing this, Cao Yu couldn't help but ask, "How many bottles of potion did you bring?"

"Don't you have any left?"

An Li took out another bottle and threw it to Cao Yu.

"..." Cao Yu took it, his feelings slightly complicated.

Is this what it feels like to be kept by a rich woman?

"By the way," An Li seized the opportunity to ask, "what's the number of your superpower? I feel like you're exaggerating a bit."

She had guessed that Cao Yu's superpower was numbered very early, possibly even more powerful than the strongest one in the Federation's records, "Number 77: Harmony with the World".

But... isn't this a bit too intense?

"I'm a burst-type player, very strong for a short time, but I can't fight a war of attrition." After drinking the potion, Cao Yu said, "Let's talk about idle talk after everything is over. Let's check the memory information given by the dungeon first."

Upon hearing this, An Li suppressed her curiosity.

Then, the two of them, from a third-person perspective, began to read the extra information that had appeared in their minds.
