Deep in the Living

Chapter 726 Walking
One step at a time, one breath at a time, ashes.

For some reason, this path was extremely difficult. With each step he took closer to the kingdom, Roddy felt the pressure increase! This pressure would affect every corner of his body, especially his spine, which was at the center.

With a clear mind and having found his goal, Roddy knew exactly what he was doing and his current situation.

This is a "re-growth" that follows plant maturity; it is a state in which the pituitary gland moves to a higher level, and it is extremely difficult to enter this state.

His plants have only recently matured, and he doesn't expect them to reach the scale of a garden in this stage. He only hopes to help the mature plants reach a more perfect state.

At least let him reach a level where he can touch Master Jiang, giving him even a 1% chance of slaughter.

Walking is what he's best at.

Unlike Wu Wen, who was always picked up and dropped off by her parents from childhood,
When Roddy was a child, while everyone else was picked up by their parents, he would carry his heavy schoolbag and walk home alone, since his parents were ordinary laborers who didn't get home until very late every day.

I didn't start taking the bus until I went to high school.

nowadays,
Roddy's bones creaked under the pressure, but he felt as if he had returned to the time when he went home alone. He looked up at the virtual kingdom not far away, which seemed more like a resettlement community located at the end of the road.

I don't have money to buy snacks.

I have no hobbies or interests.
He simply walked with his head down, not even thinking about anything in his mind, just walking like that.

What Roddy didn't notice was that he wasn't the only one walking on this "road"; there seemed to be a group of people following behind him.

unconsciously,

Luo Di had already entered the residential area and arrived at the apartment building.

All he needs to do now is climb the stairs to get home.

but……

Roddy stopped abruptly on the second floor. The stairs had vanished; the steps leading to the upper floors were nowhere to be found, or perhaps they hadn't been repaired yet.

Suddenly, a sharp pain in his back made him kneel down on one knee and reach out to cover his back.

This is not the kind of pain one can enjoy in the torture chambers of hell, but a pain that comes from the root of one's being, as if the entire old spine is about to break.

This ancient spine, originating from the ancient hell, has developed numerous cracks.

After the pain,

Roddy snapped out of his flow state, and before him lay no longer the road home, but the road to the kingdom!
He had already arrived at the foot of the kingdom and was already walking up the steps.

However, the steps beneath his feet were neither made of stone nor cast in steel.

Instead, it was made up of individual human bodies.

Those victims imprisoned in the lunar dungeon, those victims personally beheaded by Roddy, followed him onto this path.

The hellish kingdom belonging to Rodi hangs above the mist.
Approaching the kingdom is only the first step on the journey.
This second half of the journey cannot be completed simply by walking; it requires building your own ladder... You must use victims to build enough ladders to reach it.

This is a common expression of the Hell system and the Corner system.

Since Roddy is a Black Gate killer... he needs to kill a lot of trees! Although he has reached the stage of growth, his foundation is not yet solid.

Looking up at the kingdom's gate shrouded in mist, Roddy also made up his mind.

At the same time,

The mature plant placed in the cultivation room also changed.

The walking motion has transformed into a stair-climbing motion.
The human-headed fruit he held in his hand seemed to have transformed into a lamp.

The blade of the butcher's knife in his other hand was also put back into his waistband. He no longer focused on the slaughter but devoted himself to completing the final ascent of the steps.

The metal nameplate branded on the bottom of the plant has changed, but the name of the plant remains the same; what has changed are the numbers on it.

……

[Human Body Expo. West Zone. Atrium]

Ding!
The steel pipe, specially created by Professor Knoll, was pulled out and thrown on the ground.

Old Master Jiang shook his extremely confused head violently, reattaching it to his body.

This penetration, coupled with the interruption of possession, caused him considerable harm. Even now, he can still hear a strong ringing in his ears, and his vision is shaking.

The penetrating wound healed rapidly under the influence of yin energy.

When the repair was completed... a piece of flesh fell off and crashed heavily to the ground.

*Thud* Another piece fell down.

The flesh on Old Master Jiang's body was constantly peeling off, turning into rotten flesh, which quickly bubbled up and then dissolved and ulcerated.

Even Uncle Neck's body couldn't withstand such torment.

Especially with that penetrating wound, which damaged both the body and head simultaneously, if it happens a few more times, this physical body probably won't be able to withstand it.

Even so, even though Professor Knoll had caused him such severe trauma.

Master Jiang's goal remained unchanged. He didn't even glance at the professor before taking to the air and chasing after Luo Di's aura.

The neck bite has already occurred.

Corpse poison enters the body,

By simply following the yin energy between the wounds, the target location can be found quickly. Since Luo Di is unconscious, he cannot resist. At that time, all that is needed is to take another bite.

But not long after he started flying... Buzz! A ringing sound came, and Master Jiang instantly fell to the ground, coughing up a large amount of black blood and necrotic internal organs.

He took out a specially made pill from his pocket, swallowed it, and temporarily stabilized his condition.

He doesn't have much time; he has to hurry.

But just as he was about to continue sensing, the aura disappeared, as if the other party was no longer there, completely isolated in an independent space, or had even escaped back to Vortex Town.

see,

Master Jiang was furious!
Having killed his wife, he was practically driven mad, and he actually lost the dumpling that was about to be eaten! You have to understand, when he first touched Roddy's pituitary gland, he even started to fantasize about the future.

My mood plummeted like a rollercoaster ride!

"No...it's impossible for them to have escaped! They must be hiding somewhere, it must be a secret area of ​​this expo!"

Master Jiang concentrated all his Yin energy at his fingertips, flew swiftly along the edge of the Expo building, and gently tapped each important pillar with his finger whenever he encountered one.

When it quickly circles around and returns to its original position,
Master Jiang took a deep breath and plummeted down like a jack, landing as if a dragon's claws were stomping on the ground.

boom!
The earth trembled.

The building of the Human Body Expo began to collapse, and the supporting pillars that Master Jiang had touched broke one after another.

The entire roof structure was destroyed, transforming it into an open-air exhibition hall structure.

A torrential downpour followed.

These raindrops, carrying a chilling aura, will cause eerie weeds to grow and nameless gravestones to appear wherever they fall.

Master Jiang could sense all the affected areas.

Soon, he discovered a different area.

An area where rainwater cannot penetrate even if the roof is lifted.

The area is completely sealed off with a special metal, isolating it from the outside world. Considering the direction Luo Di's aura fled from earlier, it's highly likely he's there.

"Excellent! Excellent! As long as we're still here, that's a good thing!"

Overjoyed, Master Jiang ignored the flesh peeling off his body and flew over quickly.

During the flight,

He suddenly sensed something and abruptly turned his head!

Sure enough, another special steel pipe flew over, its surface covered with special runes, capable of piercing through his zombie body.

Suddenly raise your arm,

The surrounding yin energy quickly gathered at his arm, as if covering his arm with dragon scales, and then he grabbed it.

"You think the same trick will work on me again?"

With his eyes wide with rage, Master Jiang hurled the steel pipe back in the opposite direction from which it had been shot, the unimaginable force causing it to break the sound barrier.

Swish!
It pierced through Professor Noel's body, pinned him to the ground, and he was temporarily silent.

Master Jiang quickly turned his head and continued searching for Luo Di's whereabouts.

Once he was sure the other party wasn't paying attention, Professor Noel suddenly opened his eyes, braced himself, and slid out from between the steel pipes.

Then, with all their might, they pulled the steel pipe out of the ground.

This time, the steel pipe he threw was different... the runes on it weren't for destruction, but for structural absorption.

When Mr. Jiang came into contact with the steel pipe, a portion of his own flesh stuck to it, allowing Professor Noel to conduct a more detailed analysis and identify its structural weaknesses.

"What a terrifying old man. If we don't stop him soon, he might tear down the entire expo."

Just then,
Dwarf Kaufman ran back.

"Huh? Why are you back? Didn't I tell you to stay in there with Roddy?"

Kaufman quickly reported the details, informing him of Mr. Rose's proactive intervention.

"What the hell does that damn rose want to do?"

Just as Professor Knoll was wondering, a loud crash came. Looking up, he saw what looked like something had been severed...
