Although the wine monster was killed by Lin Baici, the atmosphere in the wine cellar did not relax because of Guo Zheng.
Xia Hongyao tightly held the dagger and stared at Guo Zheng. Once this guy made any unusual movements, she would immediately take action.
With a high ponytail working in the Security Bureau, she had seen many case files. Many divine hunters did not die from the contamination of divine taboos, but died in the battle for loot.
Interests always drive people crazy.
Moreover, this was a divine blessing. Once absorbed, it would greatly increase the strength of the divine hunter and enhance their resistance to the radiation of divine remains.
“Don’t make me say it a second time, get lost!”
Lin Baici’s tone was no longer polite.
He was not afraid of Guo Zheng alone, let alone now that Xia Hongyao was helping him. Before Lin Baici executed the plan to hunt down the wine monster, he had already thought about silencing Guo Zheng.
Because he didn’t want anyone to know that he had an eyeball-shaped divine remains.
During this period, Lin Baici had listened to the Food God’s comments, chatted with Xia Hongyao, and gained a lot of knowledge about the God’s Ruins by browsing the Origin Forum. He was no longer an ignorant novice.
This kind of eyeball-shaped divine remains was extremely rare, so once it was leaked, it would definitely attract the covetousness and plunder of various forces.
Thinking of this, Lin Baici looked at Xia Hongyao.
So far, Xia Hongyao had behaved very well, willingly acting as cannon fodder and a shield, without any complaints. She had never played any tricks on him and treated him honestly.
If not for that, Lin Baici might have thought about getting rid of her.
[There’s no need to be nervous. All her nutrients have grown to her chest, so her thoughts are very simple and she won’t calculate her friends. Moreover, she is your backup source of milk, which is rare. Keep her!]
[If you’re still not at ease, you can take it a step further and make her fall asleep.]
[Be careful, she has a high fertility constitution and is very prone to getting pregnant. Although the cost of abortion is nothing to you now, it’s still the bloodline of a top predator. Don’t casually erase it.]
“Lin Shen, let’s discuss it again. How about I give you Meteor Coins? Name your price!”
Guo Zheng lowered his attitude and pleaded.
Hua Yueyu listened to the conversation between the three of them and knew that the monster was dead and the crisis was resolved. She quickly climbed out of the wine jar.
She also wanted to help Lin Baici, but she knew that she would only cause trouble in the past, so she hid behind the wine jar.
Observing secretly.
Unfortunately, I’m too weak to be of any help!
Hua Yueyu blamed herself.
“Hunter Circle, what is the price of a divine blessing?”
Lin Baici was curious. He had seen people on the Origin Forum looking to buy divine blessings, but those posts were mostly jokes.
Because no one was selling them at all.
“It’s priceless!”
Xia Hongyao felt that Guo Zheng was daydreaming. “Generally speaking, divine blessings parasitize on divine taboos. Divine hunters will immediately absorb them as soon as they find them, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Even if there is a divine blessing on the divine taboo, they will keep it for the most critical moment!”
“Divine blessings are more valuable than Meteor Stones, but they are almost impossible to obtain, so people don’t discuss them.”
Guo Zheng’s face looked ugly. Xia Hongyao’s words were something he understood, but in such a rare opportunity, even if the chance was slim, he had to give it a try.
“Lin Shen, I will work for you for three years, and everything I earn during that time will be yours. At the same time, I will accompany you to the God’s Ruins. How about that?”
Guo Zheng made an offer.
“You should focus on getting out of this God’s Ruins alive first.”
Lin Baici chuckled.
Guo Zheng’s expression stiffened, and his mouth twitched.
He was being looked down upon.
But what could he do?
He was indeed alive now, thanks to Lin Baici.
On the other side of the small room, Gu Rongjie and her group peeked their heads out and looked outside.
“It seems like the monster was killed by Lin Xuedi!”
Zhou Ya was happy.
“What are they arguing about?”
Du Xin was indignant. “That Guo Zheng wants to die. Isn’t he still alive because of Lin Shen? How dare he argue with Lin Shen?”
“It seems to be about the loot?”
Lu Yingxi’s eyes turned, hesitating whether to go over and join in. Gu Rongjie had already started walking towards them.
This female boss also wanted a share.
“Lin Shen…”
Guo Zheng spoke in a low and humble voice. He wanted to say a few harsh words, but he didn’t dare, because saying so would be seeking death.
“Shut up and get lost!”
Lin Baici had run out of patience.
Seeing that Lin Baici was truly angry, Guo Zheng sighed and stepped back, leaving the front of the wine jar.
Damn it!
When I become a dragon-level divine hunter one day, possessing a hundred divine blessings, I will definitely kill your whole family, sleep with your wife and daughter.
“Xiaolinzi, quickly absorb the divine blessing. I’ll keep an eye on this guy for you!”
Xia Hongyao urged, glanced at the three light clusters in the wine jar, and stared at Guo Zheng, guarding against any sudden attacks.
“Don’t you want one?”
Lin Baici smiled and asked.
“Divine blessings are too expensive. If you give me one, I won’t be able to repay this favor!”
When Xia Hongyao said this, her expression was calm. She really hadn’t thought about asking for one.
Upon hearing this, Lin Baici had a new evaluation of Xia Hongyao with the high ponytail. She was trustworthy and very suitable as a teammate.Working together with her to explore God’s Ruins, there is no need to worry about being hit with a stick.
But this easy pregnancy constitution is a bit troublesome!
Lin Baici first put the divine corpse into the black altar bowl.
[Hey, the wine monster actually dropped three divine blessings, it’s really too fat, definitely haven’t enjoyed the benefits of working 996, the only regret is that all three divine blessings are the same, it’s a waste for you to eat them alone.]
[Drunk Immortal Fist in Wine, after the divine blessing is activated, when you hit the target with your fist, the target will feel drunk as if they have drunk strong alcohol.]
[As long as your fist hits enough times, even the Wine Immortal won’t be able to withstand it, they will all get drunk!]
[In the future, when you see a woman you like, you don’t need to bring gifts to court her, just rush up, give her two punches, then carry her home and have fun playing poker!]
[Reminder, when you continuously beat a person for several days with the Drunk Immortal Fist in Wine, it will make them addicted to alcohol and become a wine monster, regardless of gender or age.]
Lin Baici listened to the Food God’s food comments and couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.
Is the effect of this divine blessing a bit funny?
Let’s not talk about the power of the Drunk Immortal Fist in Wine, whether it can kill a cow with one punch, but this additional effect is quite domineering.
The person hit by the punch will feel drunk as if they have drunk strong alcohol. If their alcohol tolerance is low, will they fall down with just one punch?
In that case, it doesn’t matter if the power of the fist is a bit weaker. After all, the damage effect depends on the target’s alcohol tolerance. Even if it’s a dragon-level, if they get drunk all at once, wouldn’t it be like delivering takeout to them?
And beating a person continuously for several days will make them addicted to alcohol and become a wine monster, and the target of the beating doesn’t have to be a human…
It feels quite powerful.
But I don’t know if this alcohol addiction can be cured.
[What are you waiting for? Start eating!]
The Food God urged.
Lin Baici picked up a light sphere and without washing it, directly stuffed it into his mouth.
Gu Rongjie and the others all stared at Lin Baici.
The light sphere was colorful, with a pale golden small ball inside, emitting a warm light that seemed to dispel the darkness and dampness of this underground wine cellar.
This thing looks like a good thing.
[Thanks for the divine bestowal.]
The Food God prayed.
The light sphere entered the mouth.
Snap!
The soap bubble burst, and the small golden ball touched Lin Baici’s tongue, immediately melting and making him feel like he had drunk a cup of hot milk, surging into his stomach.
A sense of fullness instantly emerged, making Lin Baici want to shout out in comfort.
That feeling was like sitting in a room with full heating on a winter day with heavy snowfall, eating a hot and steaming hotpot.
Satisfied, moisturized, and comfortable.
Suddenly, some mysterious knowledge appeared in Lin Baici’s mind. After being imprinted on his neurons in a few seconds, Lin Baici understood this knowledge.
This divine blessing is called Drunk Immortal Fist in Wine, just as the Food God’s comments described.
As for the power of one punch, it still wasn’t described in detail and needed to be verified through actual combat.
“What divine blessing is it? How does it feel?”
Guo Zheng looked at Lin Baici eagerly, licked his lips, and was so envious that he almost cried.
Lin Baici didn’t answer him and looked at Xia Hongyao. “You ‘eat’ one too!”
“No, this is too precious!”
Xia Hongyao didn’t even think about it and shook her head to refuse. If she absorbed it, she would owe a great favor, and she wouldn’t be able to repay Lin Baici without warming his bed.
“Just eat it if I tell you to eat it, stop talking nonsense!”
Lin Baici urged.
[This kind of naturally dropped divine blessing will last at least half an hour and at most an hour. If it is not absorbed, it will disintegrate and dissipate in the air.]
The Food God commented.
Xia Hongyao looked at the light sphere, still struggling. The main reason was that the favor was too great, and she didn’t like taking advantage of others.
“Do you want me to feed it to you?”
Lin Baici asked in return. “Stop being coy. If you can’t bear it, then protect me from harm in the future!”
“Fine, I won’t be coy anymore. I’ll be your bridesmaid when you get married, and I’ll take care of your children. If your wife’s milk is insufficient, I’ll feed them mine!”
“…”
Lin Baici was speechless. Xia Hongyao, with her high ponytail, truly lived up to her A in strength and speed and D in intelligence. Her words were really inappropriate.
“Lin God, there’s one left, can you reward me?”
Guo Zheng rubbed his hands, impatient.
The onlookers also understood what this thing was more or less, with curiosity, envy, and longing on their faces.
“Lv Yingxi, don’t be jealous, you will have divine blessings in the future too!”
Lv Yingxi clenched her fist and encouraged herself.Gu Rongjie stole a glance at Guo Zheng. She knew that what she was about to say next might get her beaten, but faced with the temptation of divine favor, she decided to take the risk.
“Lin God, can you give me this divine favor?”
Gu Rongjie took two steps towards Lin Baici and said, “I swear, from now on, I will be your dog. I will bite whoever you tell me to bite.”
Everyone looked over, their faces filled with astonishment.
Wasn’t the price too high?
“Damn, no wonder she’s the CEO of a big entertainment company. She really dares to go all out!”
Du Xin nudged Zhou Ya with her elbow and said, “What are you waiting for? Go and fight for it!”
“No chance!”
Zhou Ya shook her head.
“Even if the chance is zero, don’t give up!”
Du Xin thought to herself, “Are you stupid? Since entering God’s Ruins, there have been many opportunities to please Lin Baici, but you can’t grasp them. Is dignity really that important?”
“What the hell, are you looking for death?”
Guo Zheng saw Gu Rongjie jump out to snatch the divine favor and became furious. He took a big step forward and raised his hand to slap her.
Smack!
Lin Baici grabbed Guo Zheng’s wrist.
Gu Rongjie trembled, but she still had the courage to speak again under Guo Zheng’s cruel and fierce gaze. “Lin God, I want to become a Divine Hunter. Please fulfill my wish!”
Lin Baici looked at Gu Rongjie with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
He could tell that all these people wanted the divine favor, even though they didn’t know where it was good for. But with Guo Zheng as an example, everyone understood that this light cluster was a top-notch item.
However, there was only one person like Gu Rongjie who dared to speak up and set a price.
Indeed, when important people encounter opportunities, they are willing to take a gamble.
Lin Baici sighed and observed Gu Rongjie.
She was a young woman who, after taking off her suit and high heels, was now wearing a coarse robe. Her hair was stuck to her face due to alcohol, giving her a sense of desolation and decadent beauty, like a peony flower washed away by a night of heavy rain.
To be honest, it made people have the urge to continue ravaging her.
【A high-end ingredient, it is recommended to consume it as soon as possible before it rots!】
Gu Rongjie stood there, straightening her chest, allowing Lin Baici to scrutinize her.
Everyone has a price. In the past, she set the price for others to buy their lives. Now, it was their turn to choose her.
“Lin God, she’s just an ordinary woman. She’s most likely going to die in this God’s Ruins. It’s a waste to give her the divine favor!”
Guo Zheng persuaded, “Give it to me instead!”
“With Lin God’s support, I believe that as long as I listen to him, I can definitely survive!”
Gu Rongjie defended Lin Baici.
“Damn it!”
Guo Zheng wanted to kill someone.
“Stop arguing!”
Lin Baici stopped them and said, “As for the distribution of the divine favor, I already have an idea. Little Fish, come here!”
Everyone looked at Hua Yueyu, their eyes filled with envy.
“Huh?”
Hua Yueyu didn’t expect to be involved in this.
“What ‘huh’? Come over and eat this ‘divine favor’ quickly!”
Lin Baici urged.
“Isn’t it a waste to give it to me?”
Hua Yueyu frowned, “Little White, honestly, I want it, but I think it should be given to someone suitable to enhance our combat power and increase our chances of survival!”
“Stop talking nonsense, open your mouth!”
Lin Baici grabbed the light cluster from the wine jar and stuffed it into her mouth.
Ah woo!
Hua Yueyu instinctively swallowed and ate the divine favor!
A few seconds later, the little fish person started crying.
“Wuwuwu!”
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Baici was startled, “Is there a bad reaction?”
“No, I ate it too quickly, just like Second Senior Brother eating ginseng fruit. I didn’t taste anything!”
Hua Yueyu licked her lips, feeling pretty good.
“You scared me!”
Lin Baici was speechless and walked towards the small house to rest for a while, saying, “Everyone, disperse!”
“Little White, am I considered a Divine Hunter now?”
Hua Yueyu was a little excited, a little nervous, and a little uneasy. Would I embarrass this profession?
“Wild!”
Xia Hongyao explained, “But as a hunter like you, without experience, apart from the divine favor, you’re no different from an ordinary person. Of course, your resistance to the radiation of divine remains has been enhanced!”
“Okay!”
Hua Yueyu nodded. Since eating the divine favor, she felt that the discomfort of headaches and chest tightness had greatly reduced.
Gu Rongjie was lost and desperate. She gave up her dignity and begged Lin Baici like a dog, but she was still ignored.
Guo Zheng was unhappy and suddenly wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. He grabbed Gu Rongjie’s hair.
“Guo Zheng, stop causing trouble!”
Lin Baici reprimanded.Guo Zheng’s chest rose and fell rapidly, full of anger, but in the end, his raised palm did not land on Gu Rongjie’s face.
There was no way. He still had to rely on Lin Baici to get out of this God’s Ruins.
He couldn’t afford to offend him.
“Xiao Bai, Hongyao sister will block three attacks for you, what about me? What’s the price?”
I am a grateful fish and never owe anyone any favors.
“Are we friends? If we are, then don’t say such things!”
Lin Baici touched Hua Yueyu’s head. The female anchor was of average height, just right for Lin Baici to handle. The feeling was like stroking a cat.
“I feel like I owe you a lifetime of favors!”
Hua Yueyu thought to herself, I should just give you my first time, and when there’s nothing to do, we can play poker together to increase your experience, so you won’t be deceived by bad women.
The female anchor glanced at Lin Baici. To be honest, his profile was handsome, and the female anchor never got tired of looking at him.
“You still owe me a feast and a dragon!”
Lin Baici teased.
“Let’s have it when we go back!”
Hua Yueyu patted her chest. “Rest assured, I will definitely make you happy!”
From today onwards, I, the little fish, will treat you like a godfather.
Three incense sticks every day!
Of course, this was a joke, but ever since Hua Yueyu was saved by Lin Baici in the Dragon Zen Temple, she had developed a liking for him, and even some admiration. Now, this feeling had intensified.
With the crisis resolved, Lin Baici was not in a hurry to find a way out. He distributed food and water to everyone and urged them to rest and recover their strength.
After experiencing three consecutive rule contaminations, everyone was scared and shocked, and no one felt good.
Hua Yueyu occasionally threw a punch to experience the power of the Drunken Immortal Fist, but unfortunately, there was no bad guy for her to use as a target, so she couldn’t see its power.
Regretful!
Hua Yueyu wanted to ask Xia Hongyao about some information regarding Divine Hunters, so she pulled her ponytail and Lin Baici out of the small room and chatted in a corner of the wine cellar.
“You have five Divine Envoys now, right?”
Xia Hongyao sat on a wine jar, drinking a bottle of juice and eating bread, occasionally sighing that having a spatial Divine Taboo was really good.
“Yeah!”
Lin Baici nodded, wiping the Dragon Tooth King Sword with a piece of cloth. He was familiar with the feeling.
“Then you are the Wolf King!”
Xia Hongyao looked at Lin Baici and admired him. “You became a Divine Hunter just over a month ago, and you haven’t even had the chance to take the Divine Hunter License Exam. Your speed in obtaining Divine Envoys is too fast!”
“Is the Wolf King very powerful?”
Hua Yueyu was interested in this topic.
“Divine Hunters are divided into levels. Starting from having the first Divine Envoy and becoming a Divine Hunter, it belongs to the Hungry Wolf level!”
“By obtaining five Divine Envoys, you qualify to be called the Wolf King. As the name suggests, it is the most powerful in the Hungry Wolf level!”
Xia Hongyao explained to the two of them, “When a Wolf King becomes the main force of a team and breaks through three God’s Ruins, they will be promoted to Leopard Head!”
“When a Leopard Head possesses ten Divine Envoys and becomes the main force, and then breaks through five God’s Ruins, they will be promoted to the Furious Bear level!”
“Above the Furious Bear is the Lion King. The promotion condition is to possess fifteen Divine Envoys, break through ten God’s Ruins, or explore three God’s Ruins that have existed for more than ten years and still return alive with valuable information.”
“Ten-year God’s Ruins?”
Hua Yueyu gasped. “Isn’t that very difficult?”
“Yes, the death rate in this level of God’s Ruins is extremely high. Without enough information support, going in is just asking for death!”
Xia Hongyao lowered her voice. “In fact, there are also twenty-year and thirty-year God’s Ruins. With the current strength of humans, it is very difficult to break through them, so we can only pray that they don’t spread!”
“There are still God’s Ruins that don’t spread?”
Hua Yueyu was surprised. She thought that once these terrifying God’s Ruins appeared, they would be broken through by Divine Hunters.
“Yes, they are like dormant volcanoes, very calm. Because the various national institutions still can’t figure out the reasons, they can’t determine when they will erupt again.”
Xia Hongyao sighed. “Just like the God’s Ruins brought by the meteor that fell in the Qinling Mountains eleven years ago, it has recently started to spread again, which is very troublesome.”
“What is above the Lion King?”
Hua Yueyu, like a curious baby, continued to ask.
“Dragon level!”
Xia Hongyao knew that Hua Yueyu had no understanding of the terrifying nature of God’s Ruins, otherwise, she would be scared when she learned that the Qin Palace God’s Ruins had spread.
Just like the entire Divine Hunter circle in the Nine Provinces, as the news spread, it had already caused a great shock, and everyone was collecting information about the Qin Palace God’s Ruins.
It was said that several top Divine Hunter groups in Europe, including Paragon, NB, and the Seventh Heaven God, were planning to come and explore.
Although the Qin Palace God’s Ruins were extremely dangerous, there must be many top-quality Divine Taboos inside, and the integrity of the Divine Remains must be very high.
“Can you skip levels?”
Hua Yueyu thought that with Lin Baici’s strength, if he could skip levels, it wouldn’t be a problem to become a Lion King, let alone a Dragon level.
“Yes, by single-handedly breaking through five God’s Ruins, you can be promoted to Lion King!””These ranks are artificially set, mainly to distinguish the strength of the god hunters, for easier management. In reality, it’s not so strict: if a god hunter can single-handedly conquer a ten-year-old God’s Ruins, they can be directly promoted to Dragon rank!”
“But generally, no one does this. After all, isn’t it good to be alive?”
Hua Yueyu smacked her lips, “Doesn’t seem too difficult, does it? After this trip, Little Bai has single-handedly broken through two God’s Ruins, hasn’t he?”
“Little Fish, the more one encounters Divine Taboos and experiences rule pollution, the more they will revere the God’s Ruins!”
Xia Hongyao’s expression was serious, “Don’t treat this as a game. You only have one life, and there are no resurrection coins to use.”
“Hongyao sister, I’ll remember that!”
Hua Yueyu humbly accepted the lesson.
“Mm!”
Xia Hongyao recalled Hua Yueyu’s performance after entering the God’s Ruins. She didn’t cause trouble for Lin Baici and was very obedient. She could be a good support, so the high ponytail girl invited her.
“Do you want to join the Jiuzhou Safety Bureau and become a member of my team?”
“…”
Hua Yueyu was stunned, subconsciously looking at Lin Baici.
“This line of work is very dangerous!”
Lin Baici did not recommend Hua Yueyu to take the risk.
“But you can earn meteor coins and have a chance to receive divine grace!”
Xia Hongyao really liked this profession, “Not to mention divine grace, the divine power in meteor coins can strengthen the body.”
“Can it make this part grow bigger?”
Hua Yueyu drew a circle on her chest.
“At least it can promote development!”
Xia Hongyao didn’t know either. She had never worried about her figure, but because it was too big, she found it troublesome.
Hua Yueyu was a little tempted, “Can… can I think about it?”
“Mm!”
Xia Hongyao was not in a hurry. Even if Hua Yueyu joined the team, she would be a support, responsible for standing guard, taking care of the injured, and so on.
In the underground wine cellar, Du Xin sat on the ground, looking at Lin Baici in the distance.
“I wonder what they’re talking about?”
The three of them were obviously whispering. Du Xin wanted to go over and listen, but was afraid of being scolded.
“It must be about divine grace!”
Lv Yingxi planned to beg her father after returning, using all her connections to help her get a divine grace and become a god hunter.
Creak!
The iron door of the underground wine cellar made a teeth-gritting sound, and then a group of soldiers came down with torches.
“Where are the people? Come here!”
The blue hat stood on the steps and yelled into the wine cellar.
Everyone didn’t go over, but ran towards Lin Baici.
“What’s going on? Are they going to soak in wine again?”
Du Xin was scared.
“Come here quickly, the chief eunuch has ordered to take you out!”
The blue hat shouted.
“What do you mean? Are they letting us go?”
Zhou Ya’s face lit up with joy.
“I guess it’s not that simple.”
Gu Rongjie said, looking at Lin Baici with a mournful expression.
Lin Baici ignored her and led everyone to the front of the steps.
“Where are the others?”
The blue hat frowned.
“They’re dead!”
Lin Baici was succinct.
The blue hat had the soldiers search around to confirm that everyone was dead, not hiding, and then he led the remaining people out of the wine cellar.
The afternoon sun was warm and comforting.
And the air was incredibly fresh.
After being cooped up for more than an hour, everyone took deep breaths.
The blue hat led Lin Baici and the others along the cobblestone path, through the royal courtyard, and into a forest to the north.
After about seven or eight minutes, the chief eunuch’s scolding could be faintly heard, “Why is there so much meat missing? How did you guys guard it? Do you believe I’ll strip your meat off and feed it to the crows?”
“Is there going to be another rule pollution?”
Guo Zheng gritted his teeth, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Soon, they arrived at a clearing. The blue hat had brought everyone here.
“Sir, I’ve brought them here!”
The blue hat reported.
Hua Yueyu and the others were dumbfounded because the trees around were hung with the cleaned carcasses of wild beasts, which looked terrifying.
“A wine pool and meat forest, not one less indeed!”
Lv Yingxi rubbed her hands, preparing to strive for a divine grace in this rule pollution!
The chief eunuch looked over, his eyes cold.
