Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 32: With the sword in hand, a thought is cut through
The rain stopped in the second half of the night, and Chen Xu returned to Ping'an Lane silently in the night with the silver box.

He divided the silver in the silver box into several parts and hid them separately in his room. He then called out the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book to check the latest data.

【Accumulated likes: 767】

[Free attribute points: 13]

[Fireworks value: 113]

This trip was not in vain. Not only did I get a considerable amount of silver, but the various data in the Food Cauldron Book also increased significantly.

He is getting closer and closer to accumulating 1000 likes, and Chen Xu's three attributes can even be perfected by him at any time.

Chen Xu was not in a hurry to fill up the points. He wanted to leave some leeway for himself to avoid overflowing the three-element attributes before unlocking the God of Food cultivation scroll, which would affect the perfect foundation building.

What he is more concerned about now is that his level one wood-chopping knife technique has been perfected, so he should unlock the level two training method next.

But he had checked earlier that the second level of Fireworks Splitting required 160 Fireworks Points to unlock.

His fireworks value is not enough now.

So this is how the night ends?

Go home and sleep, and wait for new fireworks points to arrive the next day before unlocking the second level of Pichai?
Chen Xu did think so at first, but after returning to the house, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

The sheep's head that he had caught a glimpse of at that time kept appearing in front of his eyes, with white fur and red eyes, tear marks accumulated in the corners of the eyes, and the sheep's horns were curved like two scimitars inserted diagonally in the darkness.

Chen Xu's heart was pounding. He suddenly sat up from the bed and cursed inwardly: "Damn it, done it!"

If you don't do it, his thoughts won't flow.

What kind of nonsense is this? Openly selling sheep created using animal-making techniques on the streets of Nanshi. If he hadn't known about this, it would have been fine. But since he knew about it, why couldn't he use his sword to protest against it?
The hatchet was in the kitchen. Chen Xu later discovered that the hatchet could be taken out and put back at any time.

It is one of the few non-food items in the kitchen that can be stored and put away.

Chen Xu took a deep breath and was not in a hurry to take out the hatchet. Instead, he listened to the noise outside. After the night watchman had passed by again, he left the house lightly and headed straight for Nanshi Street.

Chen Xu knew that some of the vendors on Nanshi Street actually lived in Ping'an Lane, but the sheep dealers did not live here. Instead, they lived on the other side of Nanshi Street, in Jingshafang.

Jingshafang, which is homophonic to Jingshafang.

It is said that it is because butchers and sheep traders kill too many lives and the evil spirit is too heavy, so strange things often happen at night.

Therefore, all the meat-related stall owners on Nanshi Street gathered with the neighbors living nearby, and raised money to ask an expert to change the name of the neighborhood to Jingshafang.

As a result, the so-called strange things really stopped happening, and the neighborhood was peaceful and harmonious again.

Chen Xu had heard this legend not long after he moved to Ping'an Lane.

He used to think it was just a street tale, and he even planned to fabricate a few related stories and write them into his own storybook.

How could he, ignorant and fearless at the time, have imagined that the gods and monsters in the world would be even more bizarre than he could have imagined? His imagination was too poor!

Chen Xu stepped into Jingshafang in the night.

The ground was wet, and the air was filled with an indescribable dampness and fishy smell. The night was deep, the sky was starless and moonless, and the clouds were so thick that it seemed as if another night of rain could fall at any time.

Chen Xu didn't know which house the sheep dealer lived in, but after his three attributes reached a balanced thirty points, his sense of smell gradually became extremely sensitive.

Just by walking past a dark street corner, he could tell by smell alone—

For example: this store sells pork, this store sells fish, and this store sells mutton...it should be real mutton, because real mutton has a different smell after all.

Chen Xu carefully recalled the details he had smelled on Nanshi Street before and continued walking deeper into Jingshafang.

Occasionally, he encountered mice scurrying along the road, but they were large, black, and moved as quickly as lightning, glimmering and disappearing. They were nowhere near the cute two mice in Chen Xu's home. Suddenly, Chen Xu stopped in the shadows of a wall at the corner of Jingshafang.

Because in this deep night, a cart suddenly appeared from the other end of the street, pushed by someone.

The wheels were making noise, but the noise wasn't actually very loud.

Chen Xu's eyesight has improved now. Looking far away in the darkness, he can vaguely see that the bottom of the wheel is wrapped with cotton and soft cloth.

The person pushing the cart was a short but strong old woman. She pushed the cart panting and came to the back door of the house at the corner.

Before she could knock, the person inside suddenly opened the door, as if they had known about it. A voice asked in a low voice, "How is it? Is there a lot of goods this time?"

Chen Xu felt that the voice was familiar. It was the voice of the sheep seller on Nanshi Street!

He was indeed not in the wrong place, and he found the real owner.

The woman pushing the cart said in a hoarse voice, "Come and help push it. It's all heavy stuff, it's really heavy."

The sheep dealer hurried out to help push the cart. Both of them were familiar with the movements, obviously they did this often.

The car was pushed in, but no one noticed that while they were pushing the car and closing the door, someone had already easily climbed in from the shadows in the corner on the other side and entered the yard before them.

Chen Xu hid in the corner of the wall and carefully observed his surroundings in the shadows.

At the same time, he listened to the conversation between the sheep dealer and the woman pushing the cart.

The sheep dealer lifted the cloth covering the cart and exclaimed in surprise, "So many! One, two, three, six! Six! Mom, how did you trick so many sheep into coming in?"

It turned out that the old woman was the sheep dealer's mother.

The old woman said in a hoarse voice, "They are all very stupid. I just observe for a while, find the lonely children and girls, and ask them for water or give them candy. I can easily trick the sheep into coming.

Azhu, it’s time for you to learn from me. This skill cannot be mastered by only me.

If I don't pass it on to you, what will I do when I'm old? "

The sheep dealer seemed reluctant: "Mother, you know that you are kind and I am ugly. You can easily deceive the stupid sheep. If it were me... no one would pay attention to me. It's not that I don't like to learn, it's really difficult to learn. What should I do?"

"Forget it," the old woman said. "Then I'll wait until later to find you a wife and let her learn. Come, let's kill the sheep before daybreak to avoid any trouble overnight."

The sheep dealer said, "Mom, you put the pot on and boil some water. I'll get the knife."

He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a flash of lightning-like knife light from the side.

The knife light came too fast, like a thunderbolt that broke through the night curtain, falling from the sky, pushing down mountains and overturning jade. With just one stroke, it directly cut off the sheep dealer's head.

The sheep dealer didn't even have time to scream, let alone grab the knife to kill the sheep.

"Ah--" Behind him, his mother watched his head flying into the sky by the knife light, and suddenly let out a scream.

Wow, another knife.

Chen Xu turned around and took a wrong step, and the second knife slashed directly at the screaming old woman.

The old woman immediately reached into her bosom, as if trying to take something out of it, but her movements were too slow.

Not faster than Chen Xu's knife.

The second knife suddenly came before his eyes!
