The First Evolution

Chapter 424: Self-defeating

When Bonebreaker came over again, Fang Linyan felt that the cold sweat was about to flow down his forehead.

All of a sudden, Bonebreaker kicked Rubes hard, sending it 7 meters away.

At this moment, Fang Linyan was startled. He even had the urge to run away immediately.

It was also fortunate that Rubes had no self-awareness and completely obeyed Fang Linyan’s instructions, so it didn’t fight back, otherwise this kick would definitely expose them.

Fortunately, Bonebreaker did not continue to hit. It seemed that this kick was just to vent its anger.

Fang Linyan manipulated Rubes to look dazed by the kick, then he let Rubes whimper like Husky, ran away with its tail between its legs, and said unwillingly,

“I, I, I, hit? What? Why!?”

Bonebreaker said furiously,

“Why does this two-legged sheep have the smell of turmeric powder? This is the smell Boss hates the most!”

“Idiot, take this two-legged sheep as far as you can. Once Boss sees it, we will all be whipped!”

Only then did Fang Linyan realize that he seemed to do an unnecessary move.

Why did I sprinkle turmeric powder on myself?

But because Fang Linyan was already facing the pursuit of all the contractors in this world!

If there was no external force, in this situation where the whole world was the enemy and the Space was still constantly exposing his position, he had no chance to survive even if he was powerful!

So after seeing the invitation from Bei Beastkin, Fang Linyan made a bold decision to seek life in danger. That was to deliver himself to the beastkin boss!

Judging from the collected information, the boss of Gao Family Inn was very powerful. He could give the order to let most of the beastkins in the nearby area celebrate its birthday.

It was so powerful that it attracted the attention of the imperial court, and its heart was listed as one of the alchemy materials offered to the emperor.

The boss’ birthday would be held 3 days later. There must be many beastkins coming, so as the host, it would definitely hold a birthday banquet to entertain the beastkin guests.

Human birthday banquets must have stir-fried, fried, steamed, deep-fried, and stewed, with livestock meat as the main ingredients.

And beastkin usually liked to eat blood food, so the main ingredients must be human-based.

Beastkins did not have such staple foods as steamed buns, rice, and noodles, so they could only get full by eating people.

It was not difficult to deduce that the boss of Gao Family Inn must stock up on ingredients long in advance in order to satisfy these guests who ate a lot and liked to eat human beings.

In terms of courtesy, this must be done.

Otherwise, many guests gave the face to gather here with rich gifts, but the host only let everyone eat half full…

That would inevitably cause a lot of people to complain. Wouldn’t the boss lose face if this matter was spread?

Therefore, Fang Linyan’s bold idea was to let Rubes disguise as a beastkin and bring him as food into the lair of this big beastkin.

Deliver meat to the door,

Seek survival in death!

If the contractor wants to kill me, hehe! Just try rushing into this big beastkin’s lair first!

What did this have to do with turmeric powder?

The reason was simple, the beastkin inside the Gao Family Inn would also have to eat during these 3 days.

In order to avoid encountering small-probability incidents, such as being cooked first during these 3 days, Fang Linyan also added an extra failsafe to himself, which was, sprinkled the turmeric powder that the beastkin in the Gao Family Inn disliked very much.

In this case, mixing among a group of people whose minds were controlled,

For the beastkin cook, it was like one of the delicious meat buns was covered in shit…

Of course, after washing the shit-stained bun, it didn’t affect its continued consumption.

But the cook must have given priority to eating other meat buns. As for the one that was stained with shit, it was left to the others.

Fang Linyan thought it was a good move to sprinkle turmeric powder on his body, but now it seemed to be self-defeating…

Fortunately, he had an idea and hurriedly let Rubes say in a stammer,

“It’s delicious!! Turmeric powder!! It’s specially sprinkled, I like it, very fragrant.”

Hearing Rubes‘ words, Bonebreaker, who originally didn’t plan to accept Fang Linyan, was moved in its heart.

It knew that the kitchen had been complaining about the lack of food, and they might not be able to offer more food to entertain the rest of the guests on the boss’ birthday.

Once the rest of the guests complained, the boss might get angry and use its staff as ingredients…

The beastkins in the inn didn’t like turmeric powder because the boss didn’t like it, but the rest of the beastkins didn’t have this taboo.

Didn’t the silly dog ??in front say that turmeric powder is delicious and very fragrant?

Thinking of this, it examined Fang Linyan and found that this guy was skinny, but his arms and legs were still quite muscular, which were a bit chewy, so it said impatiently,

“Nevermind, nevermind, bring it in… It’s not bad to throw it into a big pot and make some soup for people to drink.”

***

After this false alarm, Fang Linyan only felt that his back was soaked in a cold sweat!

Fortunately, this guy was a jackal beastkin instead of a cunning fox beastkin, otherwise he would definitely be exposed.

Along the way, he kept a stiff posture and followed Rubes, and he quickly bypassed the main entrance of Gao Family Inn.

There was a servant with a very stiff expression leading the way.

The guy guided them into a narrow path, walking ahead by itself.

Soon, this narrow path led them into a forest.

There were all locust trees growing in this forest, and there were traces of excavation and irrigation under the roots of the locust trees.

The woods were full of an eerie aura. There were even white shadows swaying in the forest.

Through the gaps in the clods of soil, he could see bloody scalps, pale white bone fragments with red flesh, and the like.

Not only that, when Fang Linyan even found that the leaves of the locust tree were faintly red, and the veins of the leaves looked like tiny blood vessels of humans, which was a little creepy.

At this time, Rubes had automatically performed [Reconnaissance] on this servant with a very stiff facial expression and sent over its specific data.

Earth Puppet (common)

Type: Ghost Creature

Cultivation Level: About 40 years

Explanation: This is a puppet possessed by a ghost. It looks like a living person and is stronger than a paper puppet.

The beastkin will order the enslaved ghost to attach to the earth puppet, giving it the ability to move and some basic thinking abilities.

Every day at midnight, the enslaved ghost will leave the earth puppet and come to this locust tree forest irrigated with flesh and blood to absorb yin qi and resentment as the fuel to survive.

Strength: 4

Agility: 5

Stamina: 10

Spirit: 8

HP: 200

MP: 50 (the conversion method of the HP/MP value of the beastkin is different from that of the contractor)

Defense: 8

Melee Attack Power: 15

Passive Skill {Puppet}: Monster with this skill will not feel any pain, and normal injuries will have little effect on it, but the lack of soul level makes it very lacking in fine work ability.

Passive Skill {Ghost}: Monster with this skill will be afraid of lightning damage, but it can automatically recover HP in places with heavy yin qi.

Beasktin Spell: [Illusion], using yin qi to make the target fall into a terrifying illusion and cannot extricate themselves, but it is invalid for targets with high perception

…

After following the earth puppet for more than a mile, he saw a deep cave on the side.

Another dull puppet grabbed Fang Linyan by the shoulder and pushed him into the cave while Rubes followed it to another place where guests were entertained.

It could be seen from the shared view that there was actually a valley, which was temporarily leveled, then many huts were built.

After Rubes arrived, it found a place to lie down and sleep.

When a curious beastkin approached, it would let out a threatening growl as if it didn’t welcome strangers, so there was no beastkin bothering it.

After Fang Linyan entered the deep cave, he immediately found that it was like a prison cell, where at least hundreds of people were imprisoned. The smell of sweat and excrement mixed together was disgusting.

After Fang Linyan was roughly pushed in by the earth puppet, he still disguised himself as a person who had been bewitched and stood there in a daze.

Unexpectedly, 2 people rushed up impatiently and directly searched Fang Linyan’s pockets.

Obviously, this was not the first time they had done this. Before the people woke up from the bewitching, they snatched them first.

But how would Fang Linyan let them succeed?

When he entered, he found that the earth puppets who were watching the place were standing outside the door. They didn’t care about what was going on inside, so he immediately launched 2 punches in their stomachs heavily.
