My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 72: Kwantung Army Poison Gas Unit (Please subscribe! Please do everything!)

"You found a bloody figure."

"Walk closer and take a closer look, then take out the seawater bottle and wash the blood off the other person's body."

"You just realized that the person whose scapula was locked was actually the foot-binding man who killed you that day."

Jiang Xinghuo was also shocked. He never expected that the person he found in the secret passage prison was the man with bound feet!

Aren't they in the same group as Fu Shou Gong? How did they end up in such a miserable state? Did they kill each other?

If that's the case, then I've gotten a great bargain.

He was already worried because Zangxian only left him one Mad Fire fragment. Theoretically speaking, that Mad Fire fragment could kill two people.

But the actual operation is not that simple, because it is limited by the perspective of the text game, and one can only make choices passively and cannot actively influence the plot.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to kill them at the same time.

But now it’s different. The man with bound feet has been crippled. Even without the fragments of crazy fire, I can easily kill him.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Should we kill the foot-binding man directly? Or should we hide in the corner and wait for the longevity man to come?"

"You don't have much time to think about this now, because deep and empty footsteps can be heard from the other side of the prison door. Lord Fushou seems to have sensed something and is rushing towards the prison."

Looking at the scrolling game text, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment and thought that there was no need to delay any further.

He could have killed the Man with Binding Feet first, and then used the Crazy Fire Fragments to kill the Man with Longevity and Fortune. As for the grudge between the two of them, what did it have to do with him?
"You listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and you made a decision in your heart. You waved your hand lightly, and a purple lightning flew out from your palm and quickly drilled into the body of the foot-binding man, wreaking havoc inside it like a spirit snake."

"Soon, the foot-binding man lost all his voice, and his internal organs had been burned by the lightning and fire."

"You killed the Foot-Bound Prince."

"You get +2000 incense."

"You went forward and searched the corpse, and found a map of the Kwantung Army's poison gas unit, a notice of Xishen City, a tattered foot binding cloth, and a divine dart boy."

"Map of the Kwantung Army's Poison Gas Unit (Ordinary Item). After the Dawn Night, the secular world was divided into two parts by ghosts and gods. The local warlords had their own troops and were not subject to the jurisdiction of the great kings and gods. The Poison Gas Unit was one of the elite units of the Kwantung Army."

"Notice from Xishen City (Ordinary Item). A few days ago, a few refugees came to Xishen City. They said that there was an outbreak of leprosy in the city recently and many people were infected with the virus. Therefore, Xishen City has been sealed off. No outsiders are allowed to enter or leave."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo frowned. He was done with his trip to Coffin Town and was planning to go to Xishen City to find out what was going on. But now it seemed like it would be a waste of time as he couldn't enter the city at all.

"Ragged foot binding cloth (common item). The tattered foot binding cloth was once used by the daughter of a foot-binding man. It can be used as a material to upgrade items. Of course, you can also sell it to people with special hobbies."

"The Divine Dart Boy (excellent secular god), according to legend, if an artifact can obtain the blessing of heaven and earth, there is a chance that it will be able to gain spiritual wisdom and become a secular god. The Divine Dart Boy is a secular god of the traditional Chinese martial arts lineage, and can automatically track down the enemy's traces for its master."

The divine dart boy?

Secular god?

This is another new source of power besides props, spells, materials, and equipment.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the relevant text and took the magic dart boy out of the magic bag.

It looked like an ordinary willow leaf dart, nothing special about it. It was made of fine steel with a red silk tassel hanging on it. It must have weighed nearly a pound.

But if you look closely, you can see that the dart has all the facial features complete, as if it could come alive at any time.

"Before the divine dart boy can use it, he must first use his own blood to consecrate it, so that he can use it freely."

Jiang Xinghuo followed the instructions in the game text, cut his fingertips with a knife, and drew some curse marks on the dart.

Then there was a buzzing sound, and Jiang Xinghuo found that the dart in his hand suddenly opened his eyes.

"Um……"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly, flicked his wrist, and threw the dart directly out, hitting a bronze mirror on the cabinet. He waved his hand again, and the dart automatically returned to his hand.

"Can it come back automatically?"

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. The dart could be released and retracted, and could also automatically track the enemy. With this magical dart, the boy didn't need to practice hard, and he was born to be a master of hidden weapons.

"You killed the foot-binding prince, and the footsteps outside stopped. It seems that the other party sensed your presence."

"The next moment, the door of the secret cell shattered, and a figure rushed in as fast as lightning and crushed your heart directly."

So cruel?
Jiang Xinghuo was stunned. He didn't expect that in a head-on confrontation, he couldn't even survive a single round. Wasn't he too weak?

No, it’s not that I’m too weak, it’s that the other party is too strong.

During the period when the Lord of the Secular World ruled, Lord Fushou became a famous master. It only took him more than a month to enter the game.

The time spent in cultivation is too different. If I could be on par with the other party, or even surpass the other party, it would not have survived until now.

"Your heart is crushed."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate. He took out the gourd of elixir and drank it down. He immediately felt refreshed and energized.

"Medicine Gourd (2/3)."

"You have been resurrected on the spot."

"When Lord Fushou saw you come back to life, he was very surprised and soon realized your identity as an exile."

"But before it could speak, you took out the Crazy Fire Fragment and threw it at Fu Shou Gong."

"Oh!"

"Mr. Fushou took the Crazy Fire fragment. When he saw what was in his hand, he became terrified. It was too late to throw away the fragment."

"The flames of madness were like maggots attached to his bones. Fu Shou Gong soon fell into madness. He lost his clarity and rationality. He was only madness, and finally turned into ashes in madness."

"You killed Lord Fu Shou."

"Your character's skin was burned by the fire and has been completely destroyed."

"You have wasted 10000 incense ashes."

"You have completed the hidden mission of clearing the door, and your reputation among the exiles has been improved."

"You have gained a bit of the power of the insane fire."

This is the end of the game text.

This surprised Jiang Xinghuo. According to past experience, there should be a hint about the number of incense sticks and information about whether to go forward and touch the corpse.

This time, not only did I get nothing, I also lost a lot of things.

Jiang Xinghuo had some vague guesses in his mind, but he was still not sure. Perhaps this change was related to the way Fu Shougong died.

Everything may have been automatically recycled by the game.

But Jiang Xinghuo didn't care much. He had gained enough in Coffin Town this time. He could explore the remaining miscellaneous rewards in the future. As for the last sentence of the text, gaining the power of Mad Fire, Jiang Xinghuo read it for a long time and didn't know what it meant.

Just this one sentence without any beginning or end, without any explanation, and 10000 incense points of mine were forcibly plundered.

Tsk tsk, rubbish game.

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to leave the secret passage prison and planned to check out other maps in the surrounding area.

As for the wedding of the old rich man's daughter, he had no interest in it. The big boss was already dead, and the remaining ones were not worth mentioning. He would just come and visit when he had nothing to do in the future.

His original intention was to visit Xishen City, but now the city was closed due to leprosy, so he had to go somewhere else.

"You're back to the original fork in the road."

"Which path are you going to choose next?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the text and calculated the terrain in his mind, and found that these roads combined to form an X shape, and he was in the middle.

The two roads behind lead to Dragon City and Baojing Temple respectively. The road on the left in front leads to Coffin Town. The road on the right is currently unknown. If you want to advance to the new map, you can only choose this road.

"This time you chose the right road. This road leads to the heart of Kanto."

"You walk along the main road and see a lot of refugees and drug addicts wandering around."

"There is nothing in their pockets. The most they have are viruses and cigarette addiction. In order to exchange for blessings from the great lords and gods, they can only wander around the land of Kanto and rob the organs of those who pass by as tribute."

"With your current physical condition, these refugees and drug addicts cannot cause you any harm. The key is that among these refugees, there are also many believers of the immortal family outside the pass."

"It's hard for you to defeat these immortals with your physical fitness alone. But if you use various magic, although you are not afraid of the harassment from the immortals, it will easily attract more monsters and demons."

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"Would you choose to rush forward without believing in evil, or would you choose to take the smaller paths carefully?"

"You chose to rush forward."

"Your courage deserves the admiration of future generations, but the aura of an exile you exude has attracted some powerful beings."

"A three-foot-long coffin nail fell from the sky and strung you up like a candied haws."

"You swallowed a piece of dog food and continued to charge forward."

"You ran into another bow-legged enemy soldier. The Type 38 rifle in his hand drilled a hole in your forehead. You are dead."

"You took a sip from the gourd of elixir and continued."

"You heard someone calling you from behind, and you turned around to answer. As a result, your head was twisted off and you were dead."

"You dodged the yellow-skinned man's sneak attack, but you bumped into the enraged earth spirit. You are dead."

"You met a mountain-moving strongman, and it crushed you into a meat pie. You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo was almost numb. After dying several times in a row, he finally accepted his fate and chose to retreat.

"You have seen the malice of the secular world towards you. Fortunately, you turned back in time. It is not too late to mend the situation."

"You choose to proceed cautiously. With the Tathagatagarbha, you have excellent observation skills, which will help you avoid a lot of trouble."

"But because you were too cautious, you slowed down. It was already dark, and you still hadn't seen the shadow of Guandong Castle."

"You're walking through the jungle, and suddenly you see a fresh corpse under a tree."

"To be more precise, the other party is not dead yet, because you heard it groaning, but its body is covered with hideous poisonous sores, and it will not live for much longer."

"You found the groaning dying man, the medicine boy."

"Do you want to go up and listen to its last words?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself, given the malice of this game, would he be killed if he went forward to listen to a last word?

Of course, he still went forward and chose to listen, because if he didn't listen, the corresponding plot would not be triggered.

"You walked over and heard the other party's last words and mumblings before his death. He was originally an apprentice of the Great Medicine House in Guandong City. He came here to collect medicinal herbs, but he went astray and entered the poison gas station abandoned by the Guandong Army."

"It managed to escape from the gas station with great difficulty, but it was infected by the chemical gas inside, and the medicinal herbs it collected also fell inside."

"The medicine boy hopes that you can go in and take out the herbs, and then send them to the Great Medicine House in Guandong City. This medicine is urgently needed. If you can deliver the medicine, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Do you want to accept the other party's commission?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it for a moment and felt that there was no problem, so he accepted the other party's request.

Anyway, I have nothing to do, and with the protection of Molong A Tai, the dead tree coming back to life, and the immunity to all poisons, I think there won't be any big problem.

"You accepted the other party's request."

"The medicine boy told you the address of the poison gas station, but when it escaped from the poison gas station, the poison had already penetrated into its brain. It only remembers the approximate direction, which seems to be in the northwest."

"You buried the body of the medicine boy and began to explore according to the direction it provided."

"You found quite a few herbs along the way."

"But you still haven't found the location of the poison gas, so you can't help but wonder if the medicine boy pointed in the wrong direction."

"Just then, you discovered a large purple-red Ganoderma lucidum growing under the big tree in front of you."

"So you rushed over to pick them, but you missed a step and fell into a dungeon."

"You have obtained the Ghost Ganoderma."

"Ghost Ganoderma (common material) was originally an ordinary Ganoderma, but because it was contaminated by poisonous gas for many years, it lost its original medicinal properties and became a poisonous grass. It can no longer cure diseases and save lives, but can only be used to refine poisons that harm people."

"You discovered a new scene, the site of the Kwantung Army's poison gas unit."

"The site of the Kwantung Army's poison gas unit. This was once where the Kwantung Army researched biochemical virus weapons. There were deadly gas canisters everywhere. Later, because it was too remote, the troops would not be able to provide timely rescue if something happened, so they moved to the vicinity of Kwantung Castle."

"The ruins here have not been destroyed. If outsiders occasionally enter, they will die like the medicine boy, tortured by various poisonous gases."

"If you can destroy this poisonous gas, it will be a great deed."

"You have triggered a hidden mission. Destroy the remains of the Kwantung Army's poison gas unit and the current site of the Kwantung Army's poison gas unit."

"Do you want to accept this hidden mission?"

"Note: Once you reject a hidden mission, you will not be able to claim it again. Even after completing the mission, you may not receive a reward, so please consider carefully."

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think much about it. Even if there was no reward for this kind of mission, he would do it without hesitation.

"You have accepted a hidden mission to destroy the Kwantung Army."

"Then I wish you good luck next time."
