Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 310 Wandering in the Underworld
Xiao Ran was now extremely confused. He watched the bone ship drifting further and further away. He tried to shout twice but received no response. Looking at the boundless and endless Yellow Springs around him, Xiao Ran doubted for the first time whether he had not checked the almanac before going out this time.

"It's over!"

Seeing that the bone ship had disappeared from his sight, Xiao Ran was too lazy to shout. He was afraid that by the time he failed to call the bone ship over, the things from the underworld would be called up instead.

Fortunately, there is still a coffin, so he doesn't have to soak in the underworld directly.

Looking back at the corpse in the coffin, Xiao Ran couldn't feel happy at all.

"You guys are awesome, you're invincible, why don't you go punch a hole in the sky? And you stole your dog food? Your dog food is an elixir, and that dragon with sores all over its head, I think you're just a rotten-headed bug, fighting without considering the place..."

Xiao Ran sat in the coffin and cursed for half an hour.

It's not his fault that he was so angry, because right now he couldn't do anything except sitting in the coffin and floating in the underworld.

"It seems that I can only take the risk and try the [Spiritual Clothes]."

Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at the dark sky above him. He was not sure what the result would be if Fei Dun went to the sky, but at least he could give it a try. It was better than waiting to die here.

So Xiao Ran took out the [Spiritual Clothes], activated it, and transferred his consciousness into the [Spiritual Clothes]. After a moment, he was controlling the [Spiritual Clothes] and was about to rush into the air.

However, as soon as the [Spiritual Robe] tried to fly up, it was violently pulled down by a force. The force was rough and irresistible, just like a child being pulled by his parents, and there was no room for resistance at all.

If Xiao Ran had not reacted in time and adjusted his posture immediately and landed on the coffin, he would have probably fallen into the underworld.

"It really doesn't work! It seems that the underworld is a no-fly zone. Or maybe I'm not capable enough."

Seeing that [Spiritual Clothes] didn't work, Xiao Ran looked bitter, wondering what to do next.

"I won't die of starvation or thirst. I have plenty of food stored in my space. It's no exaggeration to say that I can eat for three to five years."

But if I keep floating above the Yellow Springs, I will probably die sooner or later. Just those messy things under the Yellow Springs, any one of them jumping out would be enough to take my life.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Ran suddenly saw a white thing floating on the water. He immediately became alert, but when he took a closer look, he found it was a corpse.

It was hard to tell what the corpse was. It looked a bit like a hairless dog, with thick flippers like a sea lion's, and sharp toes.

This thing only has one forelimb, the left forelimb is missing, and the lower half at the back is also missing, leaving the intestines and bones exposed.

"You are unlucky too. We are the same. We were both bullied by those two blind men."

Xiao Ran looked at the corpse of this thing and couldn't help shaking his head, but at this time Xiao Ran noticed that there were still a lot of corpse parts floating over from Huangquan.

These scattered body parts were obviously innocent victims who had been affected like himself.

Xiao Ran didn't care at first, but as he watched, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, you guys are ready-made, aren't you?"

Xiao Ran slapped his forehead and felt a sudden blessing in his heart.

With so many ready-made corpses, I could sew them up and make them into corpse slaves. Wouldn't they be able to pull me out of the underworld when the time comes? ?

After this idea came into his mind, Xiao Ran became alert and hurried to fish out all the bodies on the water.

Most of these corpses are incomplete, or it should be said that they can no longer be called corpses, but body parts.

Xiao Ran was like a ragpicker, picking up scraps and comparing them, but he had no idea whose arm this was and whose thigh that was.

Anyway, as long as it feels good enough to be used, it's fine. He doesn't understand biology, but he has professional skills like suturing, so he doesn't have to worry about the thing not being able to move after suturing.

For a moment, Xiao Ran even felt as if he had turned into the horror doctor in the cartoon.

After some sewing and mending, the outline of a strange-looking object gradually took shape in front of Xiao Ran.

"Hint! You have stitched together the unknown creature. Rating...E! Gained 20 energy points."

Xiao Ran was not surprised to see the prompt and the rating that appeared in front of him. After all, this thing was something he had put together randomly, and it was completely wishful thinking to expect it to get a high rating.

However, to his surprise, the prompts did not end there, and three more prompts appeared in front of him.

"Tip! Since you stitched together an unknown creature, you will receive 100 additional energy points."

"Hint! You have triggered a special mission, the Stitching Journey."

"Tip! This creature is unknown. Please name it yourself. You cannot use the privilege to seize it!"

A series of prompts appeared in front of Xiao Ran, which cheered him up: "It seems that my idea is correct. This is also a way."

Then Xiao Ran looked at the task he had triggered.

Special Assignment: Stitching Journey.

Task Description: Since you have created an unknown creature, a special professional task, the Suture Journey, will be triggered. You need to continuously optimize the creature you have created and finally achieve an A grade.

Mission Difficulty: ?
mission rewards:? ? ?
Mission duration: three months.

(Note: The stronger the creature you create, the richer the reward you will get. For this reason, you need to continuously strengthen the creature until the end of this mission.)
"This is quite interesting, is it still a training system?"

Xiao Ran looked at the content of the task and his eyes lit up.

He looked back at the toy he had sewn.

This thing has a dog's head, and Xiao Ran added two wide fish fins to the upper body, and six short legs similar to goose paws on its belly.

Because the hind half of the body was already broken, Xiao Ran couldn't find a suitable tool for the time being, so he simply gave it to it and loaded it with a thick tentacle.

This tentacle is black and long, and its lower body is quite symmetrical.

It's such an ugly thing, and although it looks strange, it looks quite interesting.

"I'll just give you a name..."

"Um……"

Xiao Ran glanced at the tentacle at the bottom of the ugly thing and grinned: "I'll just call you Black Stick."

After Xiao Ran finished naming it, he immediately transformed this thing into a corpse slave and threw it into the water. After a splash, the thing disappeared.

"Uh...it won't sink, will it?"

To be honest, Xiao Ran was still unsure. He didn't know whether this thing could swim or not. It was just like the little paper boat he made when he was a child. It looked fine, but it sank directly when put in the water. It was then that Xiao Ran realized that magnetized paper could only be used to wipe buttocks.

After waiting for a long time, just when Xiao Ran had prepared for the worst, a few bubbles gurgled on the water surface. "Splash!" With a sound of breaking water, Black Stick's head popped out of the water.

It swam around the coffin, with two pairs of fins maintaining balance and direction. The duck feet on its abdomen were not very useful, but the huge tentacles behind its butt were swinging in the water like a python, providing huge thrust.

Seeing that Hei Gun had already adapted to this body, Xiao Ran immediately took out a rope from the space and let Hei Gun pull the coffin forward.

Although the speed is not fast, it is much better than letting yourself drift on the water.

"Crash..."

The waves passed along the sides of the coffin, and Xiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't know how long it would take to reach the Yin-Yang Road.

According to Chongshan and others, once you reach the Yin-Yang Road, you can leave the underworld by walking on the Yin path or using a ferryman.

Another cold feeling came over my lower back.

The chill made Xiao Ran shiver uncontrollably, and at the same time, the corpse odor emanating from his body seemed to be stronger than before.

"What on earth is this ghost pill?"

Xiao Ran felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have asked the old Taoist priest for clarification. This ghost pill would take effect in his body from time to time, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

The only good news is that I am now floating above the vast Yellow Springs, and there seems to be nothing except the corpse under my butt.

"Um……"

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Xiao Ran simply rummaged around in the coffin, trying to find out if there was any special treasure. It was possible that there was some treasure inside the coffin that could help him escape.

However, although the idea is beautiful, the reality makes Xiao Ran helpless.

I don’t know if it was because of the bumpy ride before, but there was nothing valuable in the coffin except some scrap copper and iron.

"Bang...Bang..."

At this time, Xiao Ran noticed that something touched the coffin. He leaned his head out to take a look and saw another large piece of corpse floating on the river.

Looking at these corpses, Xiao Ran couldn't help but shook his head and cursed: "You have no manners. If you want to fight, just fight. Why are you harming so many lives?"

Think about how unlucky these guys are. They are living in the dim Yellow Springs, growing however they want, singing songs and eating, but a slap in the face tears them all to pieces.

Even though he was complaining, Xiao Ran was decisive in his actions. He salvaged as many body parts as possible, carefully identified them, and kept those that seemed useful, while throwing away the useless ones.

Time passes day by day.

Xiao Ran had no idea how many days he had been drifting in the underworld, maybe ten days, or maybe eight or nine days. This was because there was neither moon nor stars nor sun in this underworld, and the world was always gray. Xiao Ran could only calculate the time based on his own calculations.

"Crash!!"

On the water surface in front of me, a huge head popped out from under the water, revealing a sharp horn that emitted a faint golden light on the water surface.

Soon after, a huge body under the water slowly emerged from the water, lifting the coffin out of the underworld.

Waves were rolling all around, and from time to time one could see the huge tentacle behind stirring up a terrifying undercurrent beneath the water.

Xiao Ran sat on the back of this huge creature, eating the lunch box that Wu Man had prepared for him, while looking at the boundless Yellow Springs in the distance, searching for any target he could see, be it a corpse or something else.

During this period, he had been feeling a little mentally exhausted, especially when he was looking at the vast Yellow Springs in front of him. He felt an unprecedented loneliness that was unbearable even for a crowd-phobia patient like Xiao Ran.

Fortunately, he was not alone. During this period of time, Xiao Ran gradually used the method of sewing and patching to sew the black stick from half the size of a calf to the huge monster it is today. Except for the tentacle, Xiao Ran replaced everything from head to toe.

The level of the black stick began to increase steadily with each stitch, especially after it was replaced with the head with a horn, it was directly advanced to the B-level.

"Old demon, do you think we can leave?"

Xiao Ran stuffed the last piece of fried meat patty in the lunch box into his mouth and spoke.

In the coffin, Xiao Ran placed the corpse in a sitting position, with a hat made of algae on his head and a cigarette in his hand.

It was so boring that Xiao Ran gave the corpse a name, Old Demon.

As for why he didn't use Senbingwei and the others, it was because Senbingwei and the others were too familiar with him and there was no feeling between them.

On the contrary, the old demon sitting there looks more like a stranger, and it is a good choice to chat with him occasionally.

The old demon naturally wouldn't answer Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran didn't feel disappointed about this. On the contrary, if this guy opened his mouth, it would be the end of him.

After finishing his lunch box, Xiao Ran stood up and stretched his body.

The ghost pill on my lower back has been moving more and more frequently recently, and every time it makes my body emit a very strong corpse smell.

Xiao Ran had no good way to deal with this thing for the moment, so he could only let it go.

After running around the coffin to warm himself up, he took out a memory book and started reading it. This was Beast Master's memory book, and it was also the best way for Xiao Ran to pass the time recently.

I have already read most of the book during this period. Shouye, also known as Sun Miao, was Sun Miao's grandfather after the incident with Li Jingqi. He was the driving force behind the incident. In the end, he did not last long. Before his death, he repeatedly instructed that Li Jingqi must be found and killed.

Later, Sun Miao did launch several searches for Li Jingqi, but gradually, several brothers realized that Sun Miao's thoughts were a little ulterior motive.

Today Xiao Ran has a good opportunity to see what has happened that has caused these old brothers who have shared life and death together to become enemies.

But just as Xiao Ran was about to open the memory book, he heard a low roar from afar, the sound was far away, but to Xiao Ran's ears it was no less than thunder.

Even Hei Gun shuddered all over and instinctively wanted to dive down.

"That is……"

Xiao Ran's face changed. He stood up and looked in the direction of the sound. He soon saw a white wave rising in the distance, as if something was coming towards him.

"not good!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, speed up!" Xiao Ran said as he quickly jumped into the coffin, causing the black stick to accelerate rapidly. Suddenly, thick waves exploded on the water surface, and the huge fleshy fins began to paddle violently underwater.

It happened so quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran saw from afar a huge tail tearing apart from the water.

The green scales on the tail flashed with cold light. Xiao Ran would never forget that it was this tail that pierced into the cabin and caused him to drift in the underworld for so long. He was shocked: "Is it that evil dragon?"
