Deep in the Living

Chapter 273 Clothing and Beasts
Most people view clothing as a prop to keep warm and cover up, and they only care about whether the clothing looks good, is comfortable, or even whether it is produced by a famous brand factory.

Humans seem to attach great importance to clothing, but it is more of a way to satisfy their vanity. Only a few people truly love clothing, and only national armies use clothing in combat.

The spine is different.
All spiners attach great importance to clothing, considering it an important companion on the battlefield or a part of the body.

Spine warriors like Rody who rely on their flesh to kill enemies all like covered or inlaid armor, and the materials used are often hell metal or hardened bone.

They don't care whether the clothing looks good or not, they only care whether such clothing can adapt to their own combat characteristics, whether it can block fatal attacks on the battlefield, or help them crush the enemy.

Those who prefer hell magic usually choose "skins" that are light, easy to hide, and more suitable for conducting magic.

Generally speaking, those who can become messengers have often reached the level of ascended demons and have "complex ingredients". Not only can they rely on their bodies to kill enemies on the battlefield, but they can also use hell magic to deal with different situations.

The Envoy's clothing is often designed as a relatively light knight's armor with a leather bag embedded inside. It is comfortable and light, and can amplify magic and provide effective physical resistance.

The back area will also be specially designed with a gap to highlight the spine, exposing the black spine to highlight the identity of the messenger.

【Bone cutting】

Luo Di went to a high-end clothing store and tried on several samples of clothes but was not satisfied with any of them.

These armors are indeed good looking and functional.

Some have obvious lava patterns on the surface, some are pure black in design, with delicate skull structures carved on the shoulders, and there are even beast-type armor inspired by hell beasts.

Luo Di liked it at first sight, but he always felt that something was missing.

"These metals...seem ordinary."

Following Luo Di's verbal statement, the designer immediately understood what he meant, "This type of metal is already the best material we have here. If you compare it with the metal of the Order Group, there is indeed a big difference.

We only have common metals extracted from ores, which do not have the attribute of pain. If you have pain-level requirements, it is recommended that you reach the territory of the Order and obtain armor from them. "

That's right.

This is what Rody cares about. This ordinary metal is not as good as the torture instrument created by Rody himself with his left arm. It would be better to wait until he arrives at the torture chamber or the headquarters of the Prologue before making a metal-related armor.

This time when the envoy travels, he wants to weaken the spine attribute as much as possible.

"Then can you help me customize a leather suit to wear inside?"

"What kind of clothes do you want? Can you give me a rough description?"

"Do you have paper and pen?"

Luo Di has a certain talent for painting. He had designed killer masks many times when he was in school. He drew a killer outfit based on a photography leather coat on the spot.

The inner layer is a high-necked sweater in dark gray.

The bottoms are a pair of tactical overalls with multiple pockets, in black.

Black Martin shoes with metal armor on the toes and thick soles.

Although it was the first time the designer saw such a clothing design, he unexpectedly felt it was very interesting and it matched the otherworldly coat on Rody very well.

"Mr. Envoy, if you don't mind, could you take off your coat and give it to me as a reference? The design you provided is something I have never seen before. If I can have a reference, it will be faster and more in line with your needs when I customize it.

I can lend you a piece of armor first."

"how long will it takes?"

"If you don't have the Hell Rune branding requirement and just want to make a simple skin costume, it can be done within three hours."

"Row."

Rody was doing push-ups while waiting in the clothing store. He was not in a hurry to choose a mount. In his opinion, mounts might have a certain correlation with clothing, so it would be better to put on clothes before going.

After two hours of waiting.

A set of clothes that was still steaming was brought to Rody.

Using the skins of hellish creatures as raw materials, the same effect as in Rody's design was actually achieved. The sweater on the upper body really has a fabric feel, and the tactical pants are also quite perfect.

As for the Martin shoes, the other party directly plated a layer of black metal on the leather toe.

When you put it on your body, you can clearly feel that the skin fits perfectly, and this sense of fit is somewhat similar to that of an investigator's uniform.

"Where does this leather come from?"

"Most of them come from corpses that died on the battlefield, and they are processed through technology to obtain different types of skin materials. The skins that you use, Messenger, are all high-purity and regenerative.

No matter how you activate the spine and tear the suit apart, it will heal itself afterwards." "Thank you."

Rody stood in front of the mirror admiring the outfit. He never expected that even in the real hell he could still maintain the image of a murderer.

This is just as well, after all, the upcoming journey will require him to be "eccentric".

Leave the shop,

Feiji also began to evaluate. It thought that Rody would choose a set of high-level messenger armor, but it turned out to be just an ordinary leather suit, without even the Hell Rune engraved on it.

"Mr. Di, without the protection provided by armor, our journey may be even more dangerous."

Luo Di asked back: "Don't you say that being an envoy can guarantee safety?"

"It can guarantee most of the safety. Those guys who belong to other forces and have names will not attack the messenger. But those unknown beings who have no one to rely on and walk alone in hell will not consider so much."

"It doesn't matter... If you meet someone you really can't beat, you can't beat him even if you wear armor."

"That's right~ Next we will have to choose a long-distance mount that can support us to reach the Prologue's torture chamber.

The prologue group is quite far away from the nest city. Even if we reach the front line through the war teleportation array, we still need to cross two whole hell maps to reach the area where the torture chamber is located. "

"Sounds far away?"

"Yes~ After all, the area where the Prologue is located is at the edge of the real hell, and the Hive City is probably in the center."

"Let's go and choose a mount. Are these the mounts we saw on the street?"

"Not really... The envoy's mount is a higher-level existence, different from the beasts used for transportation in the city. Since envoys often need to travel outside and do not need to go to the battlefield, the mount will be their most important companion and will often accompany them for a long time.

The [Beast Cave] is not too far away, just walk there."

"Beast cave?"

"Yes, this is the largest beast sales area in Zhongchao. The hell beasts sold there include but are not limited to combat slaves, walking beasts, mobile containers, and the emissary mounts you need.

Don't worry about the price.

Because you are an envoy, you only need to choose one, and the higher-ups will pay for you in the end."

As the strong stench penetrated my nose, a cave structure appeared on the street corner. A large number of spiners walked in and out of here, using the currency won in the war to buy the hell beasts they liked.

Rody looked at some beasts with protruding spines and couldn't help but think of the previous flesh forging. "Are these hell beasts transformed by the spine forging?"

"That's not the case... The hell beasts transformed by the Spinemen are only a small part. Most of them are real beasts hunted back from all over hell. The biodiversity of our real hell is still quite rich.

After some beasts suitable for the Spine are captured and brought back to the Chaos Hive, they will undergo special spinal implants and become Hell Beasts suitable for the Spine. "

"Do you have to implant a spine?"

"It would be difficult to control without the implant... Moreover, the implantation of the spine can help the spine rider to establish a better relationship with the mount, which is beneficial to the war."

"Is this so..."

Step into the nest,

The cave was transformed into a multi-layered honeycomb structure, with bone brackets embedded in the rock walls to hang kerosene lamps. Smoke condensed into asphalt raindrops at the top, and the ground was covered with wet animal skins and broken teeth.

The pungent smell is a mixture of sulfur, rotten meat and rust. The throat feels like it is being rubbed by sandpaper when breathing. The "odor-destroying bacterial blanket" (a kind of crawling tumor) accumulated in the corner will swallow the odor, but it will also emit a sweet corpse stench.

Hundreds of iron cages of all sizes were either stacked or hung high in the cave.

These are not limited to bloodhounds with exposed spines, vultures, etc., there are also some huge worms that can be ridden.

This is just the outer perimeter of the beast cave, there are deeper areas inside.

Just as Fei Ji led him deeper inside, a large truck covered with black cloth and powered by spinal materials just returned to the beast cave.

The cries of various beasts native to hell were coming from inside.
The black cloth did not completely cover it, and Rody happened to catch a glimpse of a creature that was similar to the human world.

The camera's thermal imaging will also reveal that the beast has a very low body temperature, which is very inconsistent with a spine.

Moreover, the cage used to restrain this hell beast is engraved with special hell symbols, which is somewhat different from the other iron cages.

"nice one……"
