Bang!
A loud crash.
Qin Feng tossed the Pig-Headed Human leader's corpse in front of Bao'er and Lin Jiu.
Then, he landed gently.
"Little brother, you're so fierce, bringing back such a big chunk of meat!"
Bao'er's mouth was practically watering.
It had been a whole day, and besides sleeping, she hadn't eaten anything. Her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
Lin Jiu also secretly swallowed his saliva.
He cupped his hands and said: "We are all depending on you, Qin. I haven't done anything here, just eating free food, and I really feel a bit bad about it."
Qin Feng smiled slightly, "Uncle Jiu is joking. We're all family. Besides, how could I not know Uncle Jiu's abilities?"
Even so, the people of the Dragon Country in front of their screens were indignant for him.
": Hmph! A cute girl who only knows how to eat, and that stinky Taoist! Always mooching off him!"
": Right, that useless Taoist, why should Qin God be supporting him? Get rid of him!"
": Get rid of them! No discussion!"
": One dragging two, Qin God is so pitiful..."
": Don't talk about my wife like that, she's still somewhat useful."
": Don't fight with me for my wife upstairs, but it seems Bao'er really isn't much help, sigh..."
Qin Feng suggested, "Bao'er, you're good with a cleaver. Could you take this Pig-Headed Human apart? We'll be eating pork for the next few days."
Bao'er chuckled, twirling the cleaver in her hand.
"Hehe, how did little brother know I'm good with a cleaver?"
Wiping her nose, she addressed the Pig-Headed Human:
"Watch this! The power of Okamoto 1.0!"
Qin Feng: "Uh..."
Lin Jiu asked curiously, "So, this little girl's cleaver has some reputation. I wonder, which workshop crafted Okamoto 1.0?"
Qin Feng was speechless, a black line appearing on his forehead.
She has not only Okamoto 1.0, but also Okamoto 0.01!
This scene made the netizens burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, my wife is so cute, Okamoto 1.0."
"Poor Taoist, naive and doesn't know the wickedness of the world."
"Look, I told you, my wife is still useful, she's a treasure, able to be cute and ease the atmosphere."
In the national war, Bao'er immediately wanted to dismember the Pig-Headed Human, but Lin Jiu stopped her.
"Wait!"
"Little Qin, could you please go get the other Pig-Headed Human's corpse to use as food?"
Qin Feng was puzzled and asked: "Are you afraid there won't be enough food, Taoist?"
Lin Jiu shook his head.
"That's not it. I'm worried that the number of attacking monsters later will be too great for us to handle. Therefore, I've taken the liberty of using a Forbidden Technique to refine the Pig-Headed Humans into Zombie Puppets to help us."
As soon as he said this, Bao'er disagreed.
"Uncle, can't you count? Why didn't you count me in?"
Lin Jiu was embarrassed.
"Young lady, let us men handle the fighting and killing. As for you... the logistical support is up to you."
"Hmph!"
Bao'er huffed in annoyance.
"Are you looking down on me, huh? I'll show you sooner or later!"
Seeing the two of them arguing, Qin Feng stepped in to mediate.
"Bao'er, don't get angry. Isn't Uncle Jiu just trying to take care of you?"
"Alright, I'll go get another Pig-Headed Human and some water while I'm at it."
Qin Feng dashed away and returned quickly, taking only about 5 minutes.
During this time, the viewers were even more indignant on his behalf.
"Seriously, this stinky Taoist is talking as if it's real, Zombie Puppet, my ass?"
"See, what did I say? These two just know how to hold back the Big God! How can they command the Big God so naturally? Why don't they go get it themselves!"
"Exactly! Even my wife isn't that righteous. 'Daring to use Forbidden Techniques to refine Zombie Puppets,' she says, as if it's really something, looking all righteous. The key is, I just can't stand it!"
"Yeah, that stinky Taoist is too much. It's one thing to freeload, but to actually think they're something special."
"..."
The netizens' insults grew harsher, and the people from the National War Department weren't idle either.
Li Tai ordered his subordinates:
"Go, invite all the big shots of Taoism in the country."
Before long, famous Taoist masters from the Dragon Country gathered together.
"Esteemed Taoist masters, may I ask, does the world have ghosts and gods? Can dead bodies be refined into 'Zombie Puppets'?"
Li Tai, occupied with his daily affairs, didn't have many misgivings when facing the Taoist masters, and he directly addressed the main point.
Facing this question, an old Taoist with white hair and beard spoke:
"Layman Li, all things in the world have a spirit, and corpses buried underground are no exception. Given the right circumstances, if they are infected by evil energy, it's not impossible for them to turn into Zombies."
"That's right, Layman Li." Another old Taoist with a white beard also stepped forward to support the statement.
"It's not just evil energy. Even using Taoist techniques, if spiritual energy enters the body, it's not impossible to animate a corpse."
Li Tai was shocked upon hearing this.
He had been a staunch materialist before, but what he had witnessed in the past two days had truly shaken his beliefs.
After listening to these words, he was even more deeply doubtful.
Could it be that there are actually ghosts and gods in this world?
Li Tai asked again, "In other words, what Lin Jiu said is not false?"
The old Taoist with the white beard replied:
"Although Blue Star is currently in the Dharma-Ending Age, according to what Daoist Lin said earlier, the National Luck Battlefield is abundant with spiritual energy. It's not impossible to use Mount Mao's Forbidden Technique to refine Zombie Puppets."
"That's right, I've heard about it in my early years. Mount Mao's Taoist techniques have a Forbidden Technique that can drive evil things like Zombies."
The other Taoist experts echoed one after another.
Li Tai frowned.
"Do you all know Lin Jiu?"
"Hehehe..."
The leading old Taoist laughed.
"Lin Jiu is a legitimate successor of Mount Mao, the last remaining direct descendant. He's young, yet his Daoist skills are profound. If he hadn't been born in this Dharma-ending age, he'd likely be the most promising candidate for ascension in nearly a thousand years."
Hiss…
Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but gasp.
It would have been fine if someone else had said this. Anyone can exaggerate and boast.
But this was said by a big shot in the Daoist community, which truly shocked Li Tai.
And it didn't end there, the other old Daoists couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire.
"What the Daoist brother said is absolutely right. However, the National Luck Battlefield is rich in spiritual energy, so it's not impossible that Daoist Lin can ascend."
"Hehehe, it's hard to say, it's hard to say. This is also a chance for Daoist Lin."
"It's truly enviable…"
Several old Taoist priests, their teeth practically falling out.
They envied Lin Jiu, their cloudy eyes practically shining.
Li Tai watched the old fellows leave him aside, chatting as if he wasn't there, and was genuinely shocked by their words.
Could it be that this world truly had ghosts and gods??
On the National Luck Battlefield, Bao'er quickly dismembered the new corpses.
She took a chunk of the best tenderloin and put it on the campfire to roast.
She sniffed the aroma of the meat, drooling.
She was also singing her famous song, the Burying Song.
Qin Feng smiled and stopped paying attention to her.
He then went to Lin Jiu's side.
At this moment, Lin Jiu had taken out a lot of tools and was applying and dotting things on the Pig-Headed Human leader's corpse.
He didn't know what kind of medicinal powders or minerals they were, red and green, covering the Pig-Headed Human's entire body.
If it weren't for the Talisman to Subdue Zombies on its forehead, anyone else would have thought this old man was pickling some kind of delicacy.
"Spirits of Heaven and Earth, Manifest the Divine!"
Lin Jiu was jumping around, his hands moving through a flurry of incantations, and the incantations from his mouth never stopped either.
"Damn, he's got the look of it. I almost believe it."
"We call it 'spirit mediumship' here. You can hire a team for a few hundred bucks, and they'll perform for the better part of a day. It's not easy money for them, either."
"Spirit mediumship... I don't think so. Looking at Lin Jiu, this is the real deal!"
"Are you upstairs stupid? You believe in zombies or something?"
"The National Luck Battlefield is right in front of us. Just a little zombie, why wouldn't I believe? Even if the Jade Emperor himself appeared before me right now, I wouldn't be surprised. Pfft... What is that?! It really works?!"
Before the keyboard warrior could finish speaking, he was stunned by the scene on the screen.
In front of the national gate, Lin Jiu finished his ritual: "Pig-Headed Human, Obey My Command! Rise!"
Instantly, the Pig-Headed Human stood up rigidly.
Ding-ling-ling...
Cling, cling…
Lin Jiu shook the Soul-Subduing Bell in his hand, and the Pig-Headed Human raised its arms.
The long nails on its palms pointed straight forward, like ten daggers, gleaming in the firelight.
"Pig-Headed Human, Obey My Command! Attack!"
Lin Jiu shook the bell again, and the Pig-Headed Human jumped back and forth, as if it were an extension of his arm.
"Yay? This is so fun! Even more fun than little brother's crab sea."
She put down the tenderloin in her hand and ran in front of Lin Jiu, acting coquettishly.
"Uncle, is this bell controlling it? Can I play with it for a bit?"
Her pout was hard to refuse.
But Lin Jiu said, "Young lady, this is a very ominous object. Unless it's absolutely necessary, this poor Daoist doesn't want to violate the ancestral teachings and refine it."
"I advise you not to touch it. It will damage your Yin Virtue (Merit)."
Bao'er, having been turned down, pouted and walked to the fire, continuing to roast her meat.
She also couldn't help but mutter: "You miser, what's so great about it? I won't play with you then."
In the barrage, not only the people of Dragon Country, but almost everyone watching the live stream on Blue Star went crazy.
"::F*ck, it's really possible!"
"::I'm f*cking, there really are Zombies?"
"What's going on here? Can't a person get some sleep?"
"Hey upstairs, stop sleeping and get up and party!"
"The people from Dragon Country are cheating! They're violating the rules of the National Luck Battlefield."
"Exactly! They actually called in help, this is cheating!"
"Oh my god, the priest from Dragon Country can really control corpses, it's amazing."
"Priest my ass! This is our Dragon Country's traditional culture, the Daoism that has been passed down for thousands of years. I looked it up, Lin Jiu belongs to a Daoist branch, a highly accomplished person from the Mount Mao lineage."
"Lin Jiu is awesome!"
"So it wasn't Qin Feng carrying two others, it was two carrying one."
"Hey, upstairs, could you be more respectful? My wife is useful, she can grill meat for the team!"
"..."
The Blue Star network practically exploded, but Qin Feng and the others were naturally unaware of this.
"Uncle Nine is indeed amazing, it worked on the first try."
Qin Feng praised.
Lin Jiu wiped his sweat and stopped the Zombie Puppet in front of him.
"Sigh, this was also a last resort."
"Uncle Nine, don't worry about it. A kitchen knife can be used for cooking, but also for killing. Ultimately, it depends on whether the person using the knife is good or evil."
"Qin Feng is right," Lin Jiu said, clasping his hands in thanks. "But this Pig-Headed Human puppet still needs further refinement before it can possess Bronze Skin, Iron Bones."
Qin Feng, who had never seen anything like it, asked, "Oh? Uncle Jiu, do you have a way to increase its combat strength?"
Based on the battlefield classifications, the Pig-Headed Human's strength was only at the lowest E-Rank.
Lin Jiu had put a lot of effort into refining the Zombie Puppet, and it would be a huge loss if other monsters tore it apart.
"Qin Feng, you don't know. Zombies generally experience hundreds of years, occupying a Feng Shui Evil Location, and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. They naturally possess Bronze Skin, Iron Bones."
"But this one, I only borrowed the abundant spiritual energy of this place, plus the Forbidden Technique of Mount Mao for refining. Its strength isn't much stronger than its original form. If we can find a treasure land to bury it for a while, it will likely improve significantly."
Qin Feng was curious, but he didn't understand any of this.
He checked the time and said, "Uncle Jiu, it's getting late. We can find a place tomorrow when it's light."
"Right, Qin Feng is right."
The two returned to the campfire, just as Bao'er had finished grilling the sirloin.
"Here, eat up."
She shared two portions with teammates and then asked innocently:
"By the way, little brother, how do you eat with that mask on?"
Qin Feng: …Mask… this is a mecha helmet, okay.
Click! He opened the visor and said, "Like this."
Under the firelight, Qin Feng's handsome face was revealed.
Bao'er was surprised: "Eh? Little brother is actually so handsome. Oh… hot hot hot…"
After saying that, she started eating the meat on her own.
