Chapter 663: Let Me Cover Your Shift?

Lin Xiaohe ran away in a very disheveled state.

It was as if she had a tracking device installed on her; no matter where she fled, she would immediately be spotted by a shooting star in the sky.

The gloomy yellow sky was illuminated by a cluster of silvery rays that made it exceptionally bright.

No, this can't go on.

This wasn't about whether there were pursuers or not; rather, Lin Xiaohe realized that her life essence was being drained by this world.

Although each time you absorb a small amount of life essence, like a drop of water in the ocean, it adds up!
The origin of life is such a complicated thing!

Lin Xiaohe endured so much suffering, escaped death several times, and encountered all sorts of opportunities before she reached her current level of vastness.

Losing even a tiny bit of her life essence would cause her unbearable heartache!

Lin Xiaohe's speed was so fast it was like a flash, appearing in the east of the city one moment and in the west the next.

With divine protection, the high-end combat forces in the Dead City couldn't cause her much harm, but they were just too annoying.

Like tiny nibbles in spring, they swarm and follow relentlessly.

Lin Xiaohe changed her mind and decided to leave the City of the Dead and venture into the underworld.

Beyond the city lay a desolate, gray wasteland.

Lin Xiaohe ran for a very long time. When she looked back, all that remained of the dead city was a desolate and ferocious shadow, blurred at the boundary between heaven and earth.

Above ground was a muddy swamp, from which a pale arm would occasionally reach out, trying to grab Lin Xiaohe who was just passing by.

"It's a bit troublesome."

The farther you are from the dead city, the faster your life force is lost.

What's more troublesome is that Lin Xiaohe couldn't find out what was drawing upon her essence, or where that essence had gone.

Lin Xiaohe stopped in her tracks, her expression grave. It seemed the enemy was trying to slowly boil the frog in water.

Lin Xiaohe had already left the group of pursuers far behind.

She looked around, but the vast swamp was deserted, devoid of any ghosts or anything unusual.

The sky was overcast, with dark clouds looming over the city, and the air was thick with a musty, rotten smell.

Sticky, damp, fishy and foul-smelling, like a deadly poison.

Lin Xiaohe's gaze was fixed on a place three miles away, where a broken-looking ceramic bowl had been placed, and not far away, a body that was almost unrecognizable as human.

Or rather, a skeleton dressed in human skin.

Her once thick, black hair had blended into the swamp, turning into a rotten, fluffy clump.

The surrounding land was soaked in blood, giving it an almost cruel sheen.

Lin Xiaohe quickly approached this place.

She stopped beside the skeleton and looked down.

The skeleton's arm was broken, and the thin layer of human skin could no longer cover the stark white bones, which had some strange black patterns that were emitting a faint glow.

For some reason, Lin Xiaohe's heart skipped a beat when she saw the skeleton.

Lin Xiaohe squatted down and turned the face buried in the swamp towards herself.

"That's terrifying! How can someone be so ugly?"

Actually, he wasn't ugly; he was a very delicate-looking skeleton with a very skeletal appearance.

It's not hard to imagine that when she was full of life, she must have been an extremely beautiful woman.

Perhaps it was the word "ugly" in Lin Xiaohe's name that provoked this skeleton.

Those claw-like hands actually gripped Lin Xiaohe's wrist firmly.

Its mouth opens and closes, but because it has no tongue, it can only make clicking sounds.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaohe doesn't need to hear the voice to understand what the skeleton is trying to say.

"Impolite traveler, you have disturbed the peace of the sleepers and must pay the price."

Lin Xiaohe: "Oh, okay. What's the price?" The skeleton was taken aback by the joy and anticipation in Lin Xiaohe's words. After a long silence, it stammered.

"Go to work in my place."

Sure enough, the resentment you feel at work can reach the sky and even the ground!
Lin Xiaohe, a person with high energy, said that it was no problem; she was worth three people, and if Xinbao were included, the two of them could take over the entire planet.

Skeleton...

Are you sick?!
In an unfamiliar place, you just accept this setting so easily?
The skeleton muttered curses as he assigned tasks to Lin Xiaohe.

First, find a slightly firm spot and build a shed.

Lin Xiaohe glanced around; this swamp stretched endlessly, where could she find a firm spot?
However, this small difficulty was no problem for her.

She secretly ran back to the dead city, demolished several houses, and brought back the black bricks used to build the houses, which she then laid on the swamp.

The skeleton stared at the bricks for a long time, but ultimately did not stop Lin Xiaohe.

These bricks covered an area of ​​about 300 square meters. Lin Xiaohe wanted to go to the dead city to get some more, but was stopped by the skeleton.

"That's enough, let's build the shed."

There isn't even a blade of grass in the swamp, so where are we supposed to find wood?

Lin Xiaohe grabbed the hand that had emerged from the swamp and pulled it upwards with all her might.

The skeleton immediately understood what Lin Xiaohe was trying to do, and, unable to contain itself any longer, let out a soul-like roar: "Can't you just leave their peace alone?!"

The skeleton got so angry that it got up on its own, and its tangled hair pulled a large piece of wood out of the swamp.

The wood is yin wood, ten meters long and over ten meters in diameter, as hard as iron, and impervious to water and fire.

"take it."

This is so annoying! How can this person be like this?!
Empress Houtu, why is the person she is destined to meet like this?

The skeleton sat cross-legged on the bricks, deliberately saying nothing, waiting to see Lin Xiaohe make a fool of herself.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaohe pulled a ruler out of her pocket.

ruler……

Skeleton...

The reunion came so unexpectedly.

The skeleton coughed twice and tried to tidy his messy hair with his withered hands. Unfortunately, his hair, like the myriad emotions of humankind, could not be cut or untangled.

Ruler instantly understood Lin Xiaohe's sly move, so he pretended to be crazy and acted as if he couldn't understand Lin Xiaohe's orders.

"Hmm?!" Lin Xiaohe narrowed her eyes and issued a warning.

The ruler trembled; the ruler was afraid.

The merit ruler, feeling wronged, grew to ten meters long and was used by Lin Xiaohe to chop wood.

The merit ruler and the yin wood collided, producing crackling golden sparks.

Across the sparks, the merit ruler and the skull exchanged a glance, then moved away in tacit agreement.

The greatest respect you can show to your friendship is not to witness each other at their most vulnerable.

In silence, Lin Xiaohe built an extremely simple shack.

"Look, how is it? Does it pass the test?"

The shack is arbitrarily triangular in shape and is in danger of collapsing at any time.

The skeleton glanced at the lifeless merit ruler, hesitated for a moment, and nodded hastily: "That's fine, as long as it works."

After saying that, the skeleton pulled a broken pottery jar filled with mud and a broken bowl from the swamp and handed them to Lin Xiaohe: "Here you go."

"One tear of birth, two coins of tears of old age, three parts of bitter tears, four cups of tears of regret, five inches of tears of longing, six cups of tears of illness, seven feet of tears of parting, and finally, add your own tears of sorrow. Use these eight tears as a guide, remove the bitterness and keep the sweetness, and only by enduring such torment throughout your life can you make a good soup."

"This soup is Meng Po's soup."

Lin Xiaohe brewed the first bowl of Meng Po soup, as a tribute to herself.

After finishing the bowl, Lin Xiaohe smiled, her life essence had indeed increased.
