The crowd rushed into the iron gate.
This is a large circular lounge with five doors on the walls, three of which are open.
“Which door are you in?”
The dwarf shouted.
Before the leather pants woman could answer, Lin Baici had already run towards the door in the middle.
“Over here!”
The sound of Guo Er Cheng Song not only allowed Lin Baici to completely remember what he had heard, but also had the additional effect of enhancing his hearing.
“Aunt Shu, please stay outside!”
Lin Baici instructed.
The landlady paused and nodded: “Okay!”
After everyone entered the door, they immediately felt a cold air rushing towards them.
This is a large freezer.
Because the temperature is very low, there is white frost on the floor and walls. When you exhale, it is all white.
“Oh my god!”
The bartender blurted out.
Under the ceiling, there are embedded iron racks, and on these racks, every meter, there is a chain with an iron hook hanging down.
Each iron hook is inserted from the back of a human corpse’s neck, coming out from its mouth, suspending them in the air.
These corpses are like the white strip chickens sold by market vendors, they have been scalded in boiling water, removed their feathers, then opened up and gutted, and their internal organs have been removed.
After these treatments, the corpses are hung up to prevent them from being eaten by rats and insects.
Lin Baici took a look and saw dozens of rows of corpses hanging in the huge freezer, and on each row, there is a corpse hanging every meter, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance.
Because of the iron hooks in their mouths, and the fact that the bodies are suspended and falling under the force of gravity, their heads are tilted back and their mouths are wide open.
At first glance, it seems like some kind of mysterious and evil sacrificial ritual.
“At least seven or eight hundred!”
The dwarf looked up at those corpses.
They were frozen stiff, with a layer of thin ice on their bodies, their internal organs removed, and two rows of red meat-wrapped ribs visible.
“I feel like I can give up eating ribs in the future!”
Xia Hongyao decided to be a vegetarian for three months to calm herself down.
“Leather pants woman, where are you?”
The bartender shouted.
“Over here!”
The voice of the leather pants woman sounded among these white strip corpses.
Everyone hurried over.
The leather pants woman was on guard, and when she saw everyone coming, she immediately pointed to a white strip corpse and reminded, “This one hasn’t had its internal organs removed.”
“Did they miss it?”
The old man examined the corpse. It was a female, about 1.7 meters tall, and quite fat with a big belly.
“No, I seemed to see it move just now!”
The leather pants woman speculated, “Is it the boss?”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this term.
The so-called boss refers to an elite or leader-level monster, in short, very powerful.
“I feel that this place is quite eerie. Since there are no pig-headed people, let’s get out of here quickly.”
The bartender suggested.
“Yes, let’s go and map the area quickly!”
The old man urged.
“Let’s go!”
In fact, Lin Baici wanted to light a fire and burn these corpses, but he was worried that it would cause a riot and attract a large number of pig-headed people.
Everyone planned to leave, but that female corpse that hadn’t been gutted suddenly twitched its limbs.
Clang!
The corpse pulled on the chain, making a piercing sound.
Swish!
Everyone stepped back, on high alert.
“Bartender, cut off its head!”
Lin Baici ordered, “The rest of you, be on guard!”
The bartender walked under the corpse, jumped up, holding a bone-cutting knife in his hand, and chopped at its neck.
Crack!
The bartender was strong, and the bone-cutting knife was sharp. With one blow, he broke the cervical vertebrae of the corpse.
Thud!
The corpse fell to the ground, raising some dust.
Lin Baici walked over, intending to examine the corpse, but it suddenly bounced up and grabbed at the bartender.
“Oh my god!”
The bartender’s scalp tingled, and he got goosebumps all over his body. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and kicked it away.
Bang!
The corpse’s belly was kicked, and it fell to the ground.
This seemed to have startled a hornet’s nest.
Those corpses hanging under the iron racks suddenly started to struggle violently.
Clang! Clang!
It felt like they had come back to life.
“Get out quickly!”
Lin Baici shouted and ran towards the freezer door.
“What the hell!”
The leather pants woman was completely stunned. Those corpses that had their internal organs removed suddenly started moving, struggling like prey being torn apart by a wild beast. It was terrifying and eerie.
The old man was getting older, but he ran the fastest, like a wounded rabbit. When he was only a dozen meters away from the iron gate,
Thud!
The iron gate suddenly closed.
“What the hell, isn’t it?”
The old man was annoyed, rushed to the iron gate, and pounded on it.
Bang! Bang!
“Landlady!”
The old man shouted, but the iron gate didn’t budge. He turned to look at Lin Baici, “What should we do?”
Lin Baici took out a torch from his backpack and scraped it on the ground.
Swish!
The torch ignited.
The warm yellow light, like a mother’s embrace, made the old man involuntarily look over and couldn’t bear to look away.
Lin Baici stuck the torch on the iron gate.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
The white frost on the iron gate turned into water, but there was no sign of the iron gate melting.【It’s useless. You are now in a stronger rule contamination, and the power of the torch is suppressed. Only by solving the monsters in the freezer can you leave!】
Lin Baici originally planned to summon the Muscle Buddha to hit the iron door, but gave up after hearing the Food God’s comment.
“Prepare for battle!”
Lin Baici turned around.
Many white-striped corpses broke free from their chains and fell to the ground.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The limbs of the white-striped corpses twisted irregularly and trembled as they stood up.
Because of their intense struggle, the mouths of these corpses were torn apart, making them look even more terrifying and hideous.
“What should we do?”
The woman in leather pants worried.
“Kill them all!”
Lin Baici held a pine torch in his right hand and a bronze sword in his left hand. As soon as he spoke, the white-striped corpses rushed towards them like starving dogs.
【White-striped corpses are bred through livestock farming and can be slaughtered in as little as three years. Their fate is to be eaten by the pig-headed people!】
Everyone was a divine hunter and knew that there was no choice at this time, so they began to fight.
The bartender and the dwarf were colleagues and had a good relationship, so they naturally formed a team.
“Xiaolinzi!”
Xia Hongyao approached Lin Baici.
The woman in leather pants hesitated for a moment and chose Lin Baici.
The old man acted faster and had already arrived by Lin Baici’s side.
“Stay away from me!”
Lin Baici reminded, “This torch of mine will make people rush towards it like moths to a flame. Once ignited, it cannot be extinguished!”
“…”
The old man and the woman in leather pants changed their expressions.
“No wonder I always felt something was wrong with your torch!”
The dwarf envied.
Lin Baici looked at the young man who didn’t seem to be very old, but had too many top-quality divine taboos on him. Whether he obtained them through his own strength or his appearance, he was definitely a winner in life.
Unlike him, because he was a dwarf, he had always been rejected when he tried to team up with others.
The white-striped corpses rushed forward.
Lin Baici swung the torch and hit their heads.
Bang! Bang!
After the torch hit their heads, it immediately ignited these bodies, turning them into torches.
“Be careful not to get burned by the flames!”
Lin Baici shouted.
Because the bodies could not be burned to ashes in an instant, they ran around while burning, which could potentially harm others.
However, this process only lasted for about twenty seconds.
Under the burning, their bodies quickly carbonized, turned black, and then shattered.
One white-striped corpse’s legs were burned too badly and could no longer support its weight. After chasing Lin Baici for more than ten meters, it fell to the ground with a bang.
To avoid being burned by the flames, everyone started to move around.
Kacha!
The woman in leather pants chopped off the head of a white-striped corpse and cut off half of its shoulder.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that she was a woman. As a divine hunter, she had great strength. If it weren’t for the unsuitable weapon, she could have cut these white-striped corpses in half with one strike.
“Huh? They don’t seem very strong?”
The woman in leather pants noticed that these monsters only knew how to charge and bite, without any other attack methods, which made her feel relieved.
The only trouble was that there were quite a lot of them.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
In the freezer, there was the sound of white-striped corpses falling off the iron hooks, which sounded eerie.
After falling to the ground, they immediately rushed towards Lin Baici and the others. When they were about seven or eight meters away, they pounced.
Lin Baici held the pine torch like a baseball bat and struck them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of heavy blows echoed.
The bronze sword was even sharper, and with each strike, limbs and arms would fall off.
Fifteen minutes passed.
The ground was already covered with corpses, but the charge of the white-striped corpses was still wild, although it was no longer as intense as before.
Even after losing their arms and legs, they were still alive and attacking. They posed a great threat to ordinary people, but for divine hunters, they could easily cut them into pieces. Even if they didn’t die, their bodies would be fragmented and unable to move.
Twenty minutes passed, and the white-striped corpses’ “corpse tide” could no longer organize a charge.
Phew!
The bartender knocked down a white-striped corpse and spat on its face.
“Anyone else?”
The bartender looked around with a bone cleaver in his hand.
He felt great.
Sometimes, a person really needs to vent and let it all out, or else it will lead to illness.
“Don’t show off, let’s find a way to get out quickly!”
The old man ran towards the iron door. “Boss, can you hear me?”
Lin Baici planned to burn those bodies, but they suddenly started to wriggle rapidly, as if attracted by black holes, gathering into large piles of flesh.
After these piles of flesh gathered together, some parts began to melt and then stick together, forming a wriggling mass of flesh that started moving towards Lin Baici and the others.
“Damn, can’t kill them?”
The bartender was annoyed.
There were a total of eighteen piles of flesh monsters, each about five or six meters tall, and because they were made up of many bodies, they had no weak points.
“Captain, it’s up to you!”
The woman in leather pants looked at Lin Baici.
These flesh piles had many heads, all of which were wailing and screaming. The arms and legs were flailing around, making it extremely horrifying.Lin Baici was not worried about these monsters. He had a pine torch in his hand that could burn them to ashes. The problem was why some of the body parts were not attracted to the meat pile.
Were they overlooked?
Or had they completely “died” for some reason?
Lin Baici pondered as he rushed towards a pile of meat near him.
Puff!
The heads on the meat pile suddenly opened their mouths and spewed green slime towards Lin Baici.
Lin Baici dodged.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The slime splattered on the ground, corroding the floor and emitting white smoke.
[Stitched Flesh Monsters can only be purified by flames. Otherwise, no matter how many times they are killed or how much they are chopped, they will reassemble.]
“That’s not right. Some body parts on the ground didn’t gather!”
Lin Baici was puzzled.
But the Food God did not explain.
Lin Baici looked at everyone and asked, “Who used Divine Grace just now?”
No one did.
“Captain, my Divine Grace is not suitable for this kind of battle!”
The bartender smiled bitterly, thinking that Lin Baici was complaining and trying to find out who wasn’t putting in effort.
But that wasn’t the case.
Lin Baici recalled the process of the battle just now and noticed a detail. However, he couldn’t directly ask that person, otherwise it would attract attention.
“It seems that this ‘tabletop game’ mentioned by the maid is not as simple as just escaping the underground dungeon!”
Lin Baici tried several times but couldn’t get close to the Stitched Flesh Monster in front of him to ignite it. There were too many heads on this monster.
There were always mouths spewing green slime, hindering him from getting closer.
“Don’t fight, change positions, and take these monsters away!”
Lin Baici commanded, “Leather Pants Girl, you go left. Bartender, Magician, you two go right. Lead the monsters around and disperse them. When I give the signal, gather in the middle of the freezer.”
Lin Baici had everyone disperse first.
Naturally, the Stitched Flesh Monsters also separated and chased after their respective targets.
With three monsters behind him, Lin Baici ran in the freezer.
These Stitched Flesh Monsters had grown larger and were difficult to kill, but their speed had also slowed down. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to gather the monsters so easily.
Everyone was a Divine Hunter and didn’t need Lin Baici to explain the tactics in too much detail. They already understood.
Five minutes later.
“Are you ready?”
Lin Baici shouted.
“Ready!”
“OK!”
“We’re good!”
Everyone responded.
“Speed up and gather!”
Lin Baici urged.
Everyone immediately rushed towards the position designated by Lin Baici, and the monsters naturally followed.
Ten seconds later.
Everyone gathered.
“What now?”
The bartender tightly gripped his bone-cutting knife and kept an eye on the surroundings, prepared for any unexpected situations.
“Wait a little longer!”
Lin Baici calculated the distance and waited until the nearest Stitched Flesh Monster approached and started spewing acid before giving the order.
“Run towards the iron door!”
As soon as Lin Baici’s voice fell, everyone sprinted.
If there was a god’s perspective overlooking Lin Baici and the monsters from the ceiling, it would look like an umbrella. Lin Baici and his group were at the leaf part, moving towards the handle, while the monsters were originally scattered on the leaves. But now, because they were chasing after Lin Baici and his group, they were also moving towards the handle. Naturally, they gathered behind the group.
Lin Baici’s Floating Life Night Rain and Wild Buddha’s Lamp had tremendous killing power, but they had two drawbacks. First, they consumed a lot of divine power, so Lin Baici had to ensure that each use covered the maximum number of monsters. He couldn’t use it once for each monster, otherwise he would exhaust himself. After all, the game had just begun, and he needed to reserve his divine power.
The second drawback was that the attack range of this divine grace was a fan-shaped area, covering a maximum of 120 degrees in front of Lin Baici.
That was why Lin Baici had everyone change positions to gather the monsters.
Lin Baici and the others reached the position of the iron door, and the Stitched Flesh Monsters crowded behind them, chasing after them.
“Now what?”
Leather Pants Girl asked.
“Whose Divine Grace is related to fire?”
Lin Baici asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
Seeing that the distance was about right, Lin Baici took two steps forward and activated his Divine Grace.
Whoosh!
Behind him, a Buddha statue appeared, sitting cross-legged and forming hand seals.
In the freezer, a fine drizzle of cow hair began to fall. When they landed on the bodies of the meat pile monsters, sparks burst from the heads on their bodies, like ignited candles.
May Buddha’s compassion save them!
Hoo!
The Buddha statue behind Lin Baici leaned forward and exhaled.
The flames on the bodies of the meat pile monsters, like oil lamps blown out by rain and wind, sputtered and extinguished. Then, in the next instant, their entire bodies stopped moving, freezing in place. Even their arms, which were waving and clawing, drooped down.
“What the f*ck!”
The old man was shocked. What kind of divine grace was this?
It was so powerful!
Leather Pants Girl, the bartender, and the dwarf all had stunned expressions. They knew Lin Baici was strong, but to this extent? Wasn’t it a bit too much?
“This is just Little Lin’s normal operation!”
Xia Hongyao signaled everyone not to be shocked.
“Your Divine Taboo is amazing, but why is your Divine Grace so strong too?”
The bartender was envious, as if he were a poor soul drowned in lemonade.
People can’t be compared!
“Why is it that everyone is a god hunter, yet you are so exceptional?”
The dwarf joked, his tone filled with more praise and flattery.
Lin Baici didn’t have time to banter with them. Seeing the monsters just as he had anticipated, he immediately rushed over and set them ablaze with a torch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames soared, and a nauseating smell of burning fat and flesh accompanied by billows of black smoke began to fill the air.
Three minutes later, these piles of flesh were all burned to ashes.
The temperature in the freezer had risen significantly, melting the frost in many places, with water droplets pattering down.
“Madam, open the door quickly!”
The old man shouted urgently.
“Check the freezer again!”
Lin Baici ordered.
With all the monsters killed, it was necessary to conduct a thorough search. Moreover, he wanted to confirm the unmerged limbs and severed arms from earlier.
Everyone split up. The bartender hadn’t gone far when the fat, white-striped corpse, whose head he had chopped off, crawled over the iron rack. Upon spotting him, it leaped down and pounced.
The bartender reacted quickly, swinging his bone-cutting knife while dodging to the side.
Swish!
The sharp blade left a cut on the white-striped corpse.
“There’s a monster!”
The bartender shouted, “Captain, Brother Zheng, come quickly.”
Brother Zheng was the dwarf magician.
The woman in leather pants and the old man slowed down, while the dwarf hurried over enthusiastically. Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao didn’t hesitate either.
The white-striped female corpse landed, turned around, and pounced on the bartender again.
