There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 101: Ghost Food Cooked by the Chef

Lu Yue originally thought that the floating bridge would be a little bumpy, but it turned out to be surprisingly stable, and every step he took felt like he was stepping on solid ground.

Could it be that those intricate and mysterious patterns have some kind of shock-absorbing function?
Along the way, Lu Yue followed the team closely, gradually going deeper into the underworld road shrouded in red fog.

As we went deeper, the patterns on the floating bridge became more and more dense, and the yellow symbols floating on both sides and above our heads intertwined and entangled, forming an invisible barrier that kept the red fog out.

The danger of getting lost in it and facing fear is guaranteed to a great extent.

How many methods does the Demon Suppression Bureau have?

Lu Yue sighed inwardly.

Ruins invaded... Spiritual energy revived... The situation in Tai City changed suddenly...

Not only did new extraordinary people emerge, but also ancient extraordinary families that had been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years also surfaced.

Through what he had seen during this period and the conversations between Taoist Master Fang and Doctor Zhang, Lu Yue realized that the invasion of ruins would only become more and more frequent in the future.

The revival of spiritual energy in cities will only increase.

Even those extraordinary people from bloodline families, even if they have the foundation, dare not slack off at all. Their goal is to seize the initiative in the early stage of the recovery of spiritual energy and cope with future changes in the pattern.

The tide of the times is rolling in, and those who cannot adapt will be eliminated.

Putting his thoughts aside, Lu Yue continued to move forward and found that although the yellow talisman barrier could resist the erosion of the red fog, it could not cover up the breath of living people.

Nearly a hundred extraordinary people crossed the lake together. Such a huge breath of life was particularly abrupt in this dead place, instantly attracting the attention of the dead souls in the lake.

This is much more tempting than the animal blood that Lu Yue bought at the beginning.

In just a moment, more than twenty ghosts appeared in the distance, staring at them eagerly.

Lu Yue's eyes lit up.

If you use this combo, you can harvest at least a dozen strands.

"Be careful and don't get close to the edge. Be careful not to be dragged down by the ghosts. Walk in the middle. We will protect you." A transcendent with a resolute face and wearing camouflage clothes reminded him.

"Listen to the command, spread out on both sides, and protect these extraordinary people who have contributed to Taicheng." The camouflaged extraordinary people in the official team responded quickly, dispersed to both sides, formed a human wall barrier, and interpreted responsibility and commitment with practical actions.

Lu Yue was filled with awe and immediately stopped the thoughts in his mind.

If this set of moves was used, the yellow talisman barriers around would probably become ineffective, which might cause a chain reaction that would cause the floating bridge to collapse. Not only would he be put in danger, but he would also have to sacrifice the lives of dozens of soldiers in exchange for source energy.

Letting them go today is for a better harvest tomorrow. Lu Yue reluctantly turned his gaze away from those restless souls and followed the team closely.

After about ten minutes, we finally reached the other side.

The heart-like mountain attracted the admiration of countless extraordinary people.

As soon as he got off the floating bridge, Lu Yue was also slightly surprised.

Gazing from afar on the other side of the shore, he could only feel the novelty of the heart mountain, but now as he stared at it closely, his sensory experience subtly changed.

The air around seemed to become unusually heavy. Between the interweaving of light and shadow, every bump on the mountain looked like the clear outline of a ventricle. The dense trees and vines on it were like an intricate network of blood vessels, swaying gently in the breeze, and one could vaguely feel the pulsation, which made people feel chilled.

"This heart mountain looks really creepy. I always feel like my heart isn't beating. It's too evil." Someone said with a grim expression, covering his chest.

"You have something to hide. If you are an upright person with a noble character in your heart, ghosts and gods will not dare to invade you. All the monsters and demons are just paper tigers."

"What you said makes sense, but why did you close your eyes?"

"I...I have sand in my eyes."

Everyone was talking at once. Some began to meditate, some curiously asked when the official ruins would be opened, and some just wandered around with nothing to do.

As time passed, the official personnel also arrived successfully.

Lu Yue also saw many familiar faces in there, including Deputy Captain Liu, the beautiful examiner, and those interns whose names he could not remember but whom he had met once.

In addition to the official channels for crossing the lake, some other extraordinary people from the folk would occasionally appear on the shore, riding on paper boats that were obviously made by paper-making craftsmen.

Without the interference of the Gongshu lineage, those in the Yinmen industry quoted prices according to the previous package, and these ordinary extraordinary people had to pay to cross the lake for the sake of the relics.

Furthermore, the official construction of the floating bridge attracted the firepower of the ghosts to a certain extent, and these civilian extraordinary people took the opportunity to take a detour and pass through, which was also considered to be taking advantage of the official power protection.

Before long, no less than three hundred people gathered on the entire shore.

"Brother Lu, I finally found you. The Demon Suppression Bureau asked me to invite you to a small meeting about the things inside the ruins..." Xiao Ting shouted at the top of his voice, but before he finished speaking, a sudden exclamation exploded.

"There are dead people, so many corpses, you should go and take a look, it's scary." A transcendental being came running over with a pale face and stumbling, his voice full of fear and anxiety.

Lu Yue's expression changed slightly, indicating that he would definitely participate later. Then he stood up and followed the crowd to the scene of the accident.

After arriving at the scene, the scene was shocking.

In an empty land, corpses were lying everywhere, all of them were incomplete, as if they were eaten by some horrible creatures. The scene was horrific.

"This... Aren't these the people who took the free wooden boats from Gongshu before?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in a trembling voice, recognizing a few familiar faces.

"It is true. I said we can't ride that free wooden boat." Someone agreed. I don't know if it was hindsight or if he had really noticed something was wrong a long time ago.

Soon, professionals from the Demon Suppression Bureau arrived at the scene, quickly cordoned off the area and began an investigation. All outsiders were persuaded to leave one by one, except Lu Yue.

At this moment, Lu Yue's face was solemn. He found that the death methods of these mutilated corpses were very familiar, just like the armored corpses of the corpse driver. They were all eaten by the blue-scaled carp in the red fog area.

These extraordinary people should be used as bait, and the cook behind the scenes is using these extraordinary people to fish.

The fish he caught was a blue-scaled carp, which was suspected to be the incarnation of "Yin Shuai Fish Gills".

As for the purpose...it is most likely to make ghost food.

This cook is going to cause trouble!

Since the first time they met each other, he used corpses to make ghost food stinky tofu, and now he has set his sights on the incarnation of "Yin Shuai Yu Gil".

Soon, the official investigation results confirmed Lu Yue's guess that these extraordinary people were indeed riding on a wooden boat and were brutally killed by the descendants of the Gongshu lineage and thrown into the lake to be eaten by some mysterious creatures.

Lu Yue thought about what happened in the past few days and an idea came to his mind.

The chef behind the scenes first controlled the descendants of Gongshu, and then used Gongshu's wooden boats to lure people on board under the banner of free crossing the lake.

At first, only three corpse drivers got on the boat and became the first victims. The armored corpses of the corpse drivers became baits for the blue-scaled carp and they themselves were controlled. They returned to the shore by boat to report their safety with the intention of luring a large number of extraordinary people on board.

As for why the two people on the same boat did not become bait, Lu Yue guessed that it might be related to the ghost food. The ghost food made by the chef must be tasted by someone to know the effect.

The whole process is closely linked, with almost no possibility of exposure. If the corpse driver had not accidentally eaten some food that caused accidental vomiting, the subsequent events would not have happened.

Lu Yue vaguely felt that the steamed blue-scaled carp he had seen on the boat earlier was not the final version, and there must be a big conspiracy behind it.

Soon, the intelligence here was reported to the Demon Suppression Bureau outside.

The bodies of the deceased were also buried on the spot.

At this time, Lu Yue remembered the meeting Xiao Ting mentioned, which was about the ruins. He was about to return to the official area when a sudden earthquake interrupted Lu Yue's steps.

Rumble…

The earth shook and the mountain in front of the sight, which looked like a heart, began to swell and beat violently. Then an irresistible force erupted from the top of the mountain, tearing the heart mountain into two halves.

The crack meanders down from the top of the mountain and continues to expand like a hideous scar.

Eventually a huge gap was formed.

This sudden scene shocked everyone present.

At this time, someone exclaimed: "The ruins are opened!!!"

This shout was like a horn, and everyone at the scene was excited for a moment.

We've waited for so long, just to enter the ruins and look for opportunities. Now that the ruins are finally open, what are we waiting for?

High concentration of spiritual energy, magic tools, great opportunity...

This is an opportunity for those of them who are low-level and have no extraordinary foundation to turn things around.

It is also an opportunity for those with extraordinary inheritance to take a step further.

At this moment, no matter who you are or what important things you have on hand, you put them all aside. The whole scene is filled with unprecedented excitement and anticipation.

“Rush!!!!”

"Today is the day for a man to turn his life around."

"Mad, don't push..."

"Whoever touches my breast, I'll...

"Let's go into the ruins, whoever takes off my pants..."

Lu Yue didn't have time to attend the meeting and was also taken into the ruins by the crowd.

As the sun sets, its afterglow falls on the Heart Mountain, as if it were stained with blood.

On the other side of the mountain, there is a hidden cave, which looks like a shelter dug by villagers for refuge during the war. However, with the arrival of peace, it has gradually been covered by the dust of time.

At this moment, the sound of crackling firewood was heard in the cave.

A young figure with a big head and thick neck was busy holding a kitchen knife, constantly adding things to the boiling pot. There was a foul-smelling black oil, colorful mushrooms, stinky tofu with a strong corpse odor, and blue-scaled fish from the underworld...

The strange thing is that these individual ingredients are very strange, but when mixed together they produce new changes and a unique aroma comes to the face.

"It's done, I'm done!"

“The combination of ingredients is like the harmony of yin and yang, and the mutual promotion and restraint of the five elements. Only by finding the balance between them can the delicious taste be stimulated.”

"I finally combined the best ghost food..." The man was so excited that he even took out a chef's hat from his pocket and put it on his head. The whole action was full of ritual.

But two fingers of that pair of hands were broken.

"I am the final reaper of this ruins!!!" The figure laughed wildly. At this moment, blue-scaled carps in the big pot floated to the surface of the soup with their heads facing upwards.

Like looking up at the starry sky.
