Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 91 Winning without tears
After standing still on the top of the hill for a few minutes, Black Snake could only suppress his anger and began to look for people on foot on the battlefield.

The black mist he was holding up before was actually a borrowed magical tool: it was called the Miyun Curtain. Although it looked extraordinary, it consumed a lot of his spiritual power, so he did not dare to use it lightly.

Soon, the black snake entered the woods. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise above his head, and then a human figure swooped down at him!

The black snake immediately revealed a sinister smile at the corner of its mouth, and it looked like it had been prepared. It raised its hand and shot out three bloody little snakes, which pounced straight upwards.

"Idiot, I've seen this move of yours eight times out of ten!"

However, at this moment, the soil with leaves below suddenly exploded, and a person jumped out from below and hugged the black snake from behind.

With this hug, Black Snake felt a huge force rushing in from all directions, which he was simply unable to resist.

The black snake suddenly felt a darkness in front of its eyes, and the bones all over its body were creaking, as if they would break at any time.

The whole person couldn't even breathe, let alone fight back. Even breathing and thinking became extremely difficult.

You know, according to later research, even well-trained agents would find it difficult to resist confessing under repeated waterboard torture.

The great deterrent power of water torture comes from the sense of despair and impending death brought by suffocation! These two things can quickly destroy a person's will in a short period of time!
In less than a minute, the black snake gave up resisting, its eyes dimmed rapidly, and it fell into coma.

Because he is not in a dying state at all, the "stop war" prohibition method has not been activated at all.

Of course, if Gong Tianwu had held on for a little longer, it would have been hard to say.

So, Gong Tianwu simply let go of his hand, and then started to feel around his body without saying a word, and soon he let out a creepy "gee gee gee" laugh.

***
After a few minutes,
The black snake woke up slowly.
He just felt a splitting headache, and there was no place on his body that didn't hurt, as if he had been trampled by more than a hundred cows!
But what is even more terrifying is that the black snake found itself... naked!!

A huge sense of fear and humiliation suddenly enveloped his whole body, and Black Snake's eyes suddenly became blurry.
I am a good man, but I have to suffer such humiliation! !
"No, why doesn't my butt hurt?"

A question suddenly popped up in Black Snake's mind, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt even more horrified:
"Is it because my body has adapted to it and is enjoying it? That's why I don't feel the pain?"

After a few seconds, the black snake suddenly trembled:
"Oh right, I'm in the Samsara Field. I'm fighting that damn A-11. Where's that guy? Wait, where's my magic weapon, Blood Snake Hand? Where's the Cloud Barrier that I borrowed!!"

After realizing this, Black Snake suddenly realized that something even more terrifying than being naked had happened.
He covered his head in pain and squatted down on the spot. His mind was blank and he muttered:
"How could this happen? How could this happen?!!"

In fact, Black Snake had thought that he might lose, but he never thought that he would lose in such a bizarre way.

After entering this reincarnation field, he was defeated without even seeing the enemy, and was stripped naked by the opponent, who stole a lot of valuables!
What's more frightening is that what he lost this time was not only magic weapons and property, but also his position in the sect. Those challengers who had been eyeing him from behind might rush forward.
When he thought of this, Black Snake regretted very much why he had been so blinded by greed and came to wade into this muddy water. He really wanted to beat his chest and cry.

Fortunately, there were spare clothes in the storage ring. Black Snake took them out and put them on. For a moment, he had no idea how to leave the reincarnation field.

He walked out of the passage in a daze, even feeling completely hopeless.

However, what Black Snake did not expect was that his fellow apprentices and friends who were waiting outside immediately rushed over excitedly after seeing him, and crowded up to congratulate him:
"Too strong, brother!"

"awesome."

"It didn't even take half an incense stick of time to defeat that brat!!"

"This A-11 is just so-so. It seems that even if Crow Seven doesn't die, he will be defeated as soon as he meets Senior Brother."

"Brother, please promise to lend me two blood lotus seeds this time."

"."

Black Snake was so confused that he didn't know how to respond for a moment - and was interpreted as being aloof and arrogant by the people around him.

It was not until he was surrounded and brought to the notary office and successfully received the bet placed there that Black Snake gradually came to his senses and began to deal with the people around him with a dry laugh.

After finally getting rid of the gang, Black Snake returned to his residence and immediately sent someone to call Wu Xian.

This is his youngest junior fellow apprentice, and he is a simple and simple person. He is also a witness who has followed along all the way today.

At this time, Wu Xian was a little puzzled. Why did his senior brother come to find him again just after he left? But he still followed him obediently.

At this time, Black Snake had almost returned to normal, and said to Wu Xian seriously:

"Although A11 lost to me before, I just realized that I was tricked by him now."

Wu Xian's expression suddenly changed, and he said with concern:

"So, are you okay, brother?"

Black Snake waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"It's not a big problem, but this guy did something special, and it's a bit difficult to get rid of it. So now think back, did this guy say anything special when he left?"

Wu Xian was surprised and said:
"No? This guy looked a little embarrassed when he left, saying that he was willing to accept the loss."

"By the way, he also said that you, Senior Brother, seemed to have used a subtle method to collect one of his magic weapons. Please do not sell it within ten days. He will prepare spirit stones or other things to redeem it."

After hearing this, Black Snake's heart was bleeding. It was clear that what A11 said was meant for him!

Fortunately, this person still left some room for maneuver and actually admitted defeat on his own initiative.

After Wu left, Black Snake carefully counted the losses and almost cried out loud.

The first things lost were several bottles of elixirs, which were worth at least more than ten spirit stones.

All the gold and spiritual stones on his body were also robbed!

Of course, the biggest loss was the two yellow-level magic weapons that were taken away from him: the Blood Snake Hand and the Dense Cloud Barrier. What was even more terrible was that the Dense Cloud Barrier was directly borrowed from someone else! !

Compared to the blood lotus and blood lotus seeds he won, that was a loss of ten or even more than ten times! !
But Black Snake finally figured it out. After all, if A-11 had not held back, he would have been completely disgraced. Not only would he have been stripped naked, he would have become a laughing stock.

Although I have suffered heavy losses now, at least I have gained a good reputation and still have a chance to make a comeback.

***
Most people thought it was natural that Gong Tianwu went to the Samsara Platform angrily but lost to the Black Snake. Of course, it also caused some heated discussions, with some people thinking that it was just luck that Jia 11 was able to kill Yaqi.

Many of the bad habits in the human world are also present in the Blood God Sect, such as flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and picking on the weak.

Gong Tianwu’s defeat triggered a number of chain reactions.

For example, Elder Lin of the Xingtang, who had originally been optimistic about Yaqi, took the initiative to give him some pointers and even gave him a magic pill after encountering the black snake.

About a month later, two disciples from the Punishment Hall took the initiative to challenge Gong Tianwu and offered a considerable prize.

Gong Tianwu was also a little annoyed at this time. He deliberately lost to Black Snake before because he was very satisfied with the current development trend. He wanted to keep a low profile and seek development, so he had to stay alive for a while.

As a result, this concession was treated as a soft persimmon, which shows the severity of the internal strife within the Blood God Sect.

As time passed quickly, almost two months had passed and the production at the blood field had completely stabilized.

Gong Tianwu also restrained the Zhenyu Gang and prevented it from expanding.

This is because Gong Tianwu knows very well that with his current strength, he can only cover the current scale of the Zhenyu Gang.

During this period of time, Gong Tianwu found ways to deal with the two challenges from the disciples of the Punishment Hall. After spending a lot of time and effort, he successfully won one and lost one.

Of course, the disciple of the Punishment Hall who was able to defeat Gong Tianwu was just like Black Snake. He also had a lot of grievances in his heart but couldn't tell anyone. He lost everything he had and was left with no tears to cry.

After finding a way to get rid of these two guys, Gong Tianwu found himself in an even more embarrassing situation.

Because his original intention was to keep a low profile, and now after being challenged and losing two games and winning one, rumors have spread in the battle hall that Gong Tianwu has lost face for the battle hall, and he should be urged to improve his cultivation and combat skills. When Gong Tianwu heard the news, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that the operation of the Zhenyu Gang was on the right track, so he decided to go out and avoid the limelight.

Now that he had the Blood Battle Card, he had become a disciple of the sect.

But it's a bit embarrassing to talk about it in detail. You said he was a nominal disciple? Everyone knows that he is the man of the deputy head of the War Hall, Qi Liansheng! He was protected even at the cost of turning against the Punishment Hall.

You said he was an entry-level disciple, but our sect's grand ceremony just ended not long ago, and Qi Liansheng did not express any intention of accepting any disciples.

When other people encountered such a thing, they must be extremely anxious and would go to Qi Liansheng to pay their respects every day. However, Gong Tianwu was happy to keep a low profile and would not show up in the war hall if possible.

At this time, Gong Tianwu had been in this world for almost a year and a half. The blood slaves who were born with him had not developed as well as him. The best they had done was to serve as a blood guard guarding the main hall, and they were not as glorious as him.

After making up his mind to escape, Gong Tianwu took the bloody battle sign and went directly to Jiqing Hall in the Blood God Sect.

In addition to being able to exchange contribution points for various rare materials, another very important function here is to delegate various tasks and let disciples go out to do things to earn contribution points.

Gong Tianwu wanted to stay out of the spotlight at this time, so the mission he wanted was of course one that was far-reaching and took a long time.

In this way, he can also practice the True Feather Heart Method on the road. After all, this thing completely relies on slow practice bit by bit, and does not require the assistance of spiritual energy.

Then you can perfectly avoid the troubles in the door, and when you come back in the end you can get some contribution points. Isn’t that great?
By the time I come back, everyone will have completely forgotten me.

At this time, Gong Tianwu had already accumulated a certain amount of connections in the Blood God Sect. Of course, the people he made friends with were all servants, domestic servants, etc. who were former blood slaves.

It is worth mentioning that his term “our own people” is highly recognized by those who were born as blood slaves.

These people did not have a high status in the Blood God Sect, but by sticking together for warmth they were able to gain a bit of precious warmth and comfort. More importantly, the actual sharing of what they had also brought them great convenience.

So, at this time, Gong Tianwu didn't waste any words. He asked someone first and then came to Jiqing Hall.

This place has always been very popular, so four or five rooms are open in the hall every day. A steward is placed in each room to receive disciples. If a disciple's turn has not come, he needs to queue up outside.

Gong Tianwu squinted his eyes, took a look, and then lined up outside the room marked "C".

When it was Gong Tianwu's turn, he walked into the room and closed the door. He found a middle-aged man in a black blood-patterned robe sitting opposite him with a desk in front of him. He then bowed and said,
"But Manager Wen Peng? I was introduced by that fellow Xue Shijian."

The middle-aged man said expressionlessly and coldly:

"Do you want to redeem contribution points or accept the mission?"

Gong Tianwu said without any concern:

"I'm Jia11, and I'm looking for a job that's easy, has long hours, and allows me to travel far."

As he spoke, he quietly pushed a blood-red bead over.

This bead looks like red agate, crystal clear, but there is something flowing inside, and it looks very good.

This thing is called Blood God Pearl, which is actually a sub-packaged version of the essence of blood and flesh. One bottle of blood and flesh essence can be divided into four or five Blood God Pearls, and it is also hard currency in the sect.

Manager Wen Peng's expression suddenly changed, and he sternly rebuked:
"What are you doing?"

But the index finger of his left hand had already quietly placed on the Blood God Pearl.

Gong Tianwu chuckled and said:

"Manager Wen Peng, please rest assured. I am also a blood slave. We are family. Please take care of the mission."

Manager Wen Peng snorted coldly and scolded:
"I am a righteous man, I never do anything crooked, I hate people like you who try to get personal gains when there is nothing to do, just do your job honestly, don't try this!"

But as he spoke, he hooked his left index finger, and the Blood God Pearl slid into his wide sleeves.

Then he began to look through the account book at hand, muttering:
"Although you only hold the blood battle card now, everyone in the sect knows how much Master Qi values ​​you. He is even willing to go against the Punishment Hall. So you can also do some jobs that require disciples. Got it!"

Gong Tianwu said hurriedly:
"I was about to ask for advice."

Manager Wen Peng said:
"There are only two errands that can satisfy you at the moment: one is to go to the Qinghai faction in the northwest to purchase the specialty, the blue sturgeon stone."

"One is to go to the Lou Ming Sect in Changbai Mountain to collect a batch of refining materials."

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu pondered and said:

"These two errands sound similar. Do you have any suggestions, Steward?"

Wen Peng turned around and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Seventeen! Seventeen, take him to the back and explain it."

Then a servant came in, and took Gong Tianwu to the back room with a smile, served him some refreshments, and then looked at the file and said:
"Brother, please. These two errands are really good errands, except that they are a bit far and require taking the Xuntian Tower ship."

Gong Tianwu said:

"I was just about to trouble you to explain it to me."

Seventeen smiled and said:
"The Qinghai sect has always had a good relationship with us, so there won't be any difficulty in purchasing the green sturgeon stone."

"Besides, they value our flesh and blood essence very much. If we can bring a bottle of flesh and blood essence over there and exchange it for Hundred-Year-Old Snow Lotus, Cordyceps Pill, Black Jade Wolfberry, etc. and bring it back, then we can at least double the profit."

Gong Tianwu said:

"But the fare shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Seventeen:
"You are going on a business trip, and the ticket for the Xuntianlou ship will be reimbursed, but usually it is only reimbursed for cabin B or below. However, it is not impossible to upgrade to a higher level."

Gong Tianwu suddenly understood and nodded:
"What about Lou Ming Sect?"

Seventeen said like a treasure:

"The materials from Lou Ming Sect were commissioned by our elder Gu five years ago. Because they needed to be extracted with the cold water from Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, it was delayed until now."

"In addition to being able to smuggle private goods, the other benefit of going there is that you can use the extremely cold climate and the thousand-year-old ice there to temper yourself and improve your skills."

After Shiqi said this, Gong Tianwu immediately understood.

The Blood God Sect's martial arts were actually quite extreme and evil. Although they were powerful, they would hurt oneself first and then the enemy.

Take the blood wheel power that Gong Tianwu is practicing now as an example. When he is exercising with all his strength, the blood wheel in his dantian will rotate dozens of times with every breath, and additional heat will inevitably be generated in this process.

Although there are techniques to dissolve the blood wheel force, it takes years to practice. Over time, it will turn into heat poison that penetrates deep into the bone marrow. Although it is not fatal, it is very difficult to deal with.

Therefore, to dissolve such heat toxins, no internal medicine can cure it. It is necessary to take strong medicine to first place yourself in an environment of ice and snow, and then draw the extremely cold air of thousand-year-old black ice into the body, and then dissipate it bit by bit.

After figuring out the key, Gong Tianwu chose to go to the north without saying anything. The sky is big and the earth is vast, and the strength is the greatest.

***
Before coming here, Gong Tianwu had already dealt with all the affairs. He also asked many people about the precautions for traveling far away and purchased some necessities.

Then he took the documents issued by Jiqingtang and returned to the War Hall to report to Chief Blood.

Gong Tianwu returned to Jiqing Hall and someone came to take over a number of matters, which were quite complicated:

For example, bring the corresponding token agreed upon by Lou Mingpai with you - who would believe you, a stranger, who comes to their door and asks to take the goods away without any proof?
