Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

How could He Li possibly be able to inhale and exhale Yin and filth Qi? This was a situation that Wu Di had not anticipated at all.

Although he didn't know why He Li possessed the ability of the "Filthy Tai Sui," a strange creature extremely rare even in the Middle Realm, he was now very clear that the Scaled Ghost could not defeat He Li.

After all, that yin and filthy qi...

However, it is the bane of any living being that cultivates or casts spells based on spiritual energy.

It prevents the spiritual energy from functioning properly.

The combat power of Qi cultivators will drop by more than 90%.

Let alone the Nascent Soul stage demon...

Even beings with higher cultivation levels have no chance of winning if they can't deal with the Yin and filth Qi; at this moment, Wu Di regretted running out to face He Li directly.

If he had known this guy had so many trump cards, he should have sent other men to contact He Li.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say all this now.

He could only try to find a way to escape as quickly as possible.

He didn't want to be caught by He Li.

However, he wanted to run, but Mu Lan wouldn't allow it. Although Mu Lan couldn't fight Wu Di head-on, harassing and hindering Wu Di with her extreme speed was not difficult...

Clang! ...

Although because a spell had already been cast...

Therefore, Wudi was not injured.

But he was still incredibly annoyed.

After all, Mu Lan always aimed for his vitals, and she was so fast that she could stab him several times in the blink of an eye before he could react. He simply couldn't ignore Mu Lan and leave her alone.

Even if he was truly determined to ignore it, he could still let Mu Lan focus her frantic attacks on his body...

He couldn't handle that either.

Therefore, if he didn't want to be seriously injured by Mu Lan, he had to slow down his escape or even stop completely to recast spells to increase his protective buffs or resist Mu Lan.

This severely slowed down his escape efficiency.

How could the witch not be furious?

The most worrying thing is that there's been no further movement from behind, which means He Li and Lin Gui might have already decided the winner.

He Li will probably come and deal with him soon.

The shaman grew increasingly anxious as he thought about this.

"That damned lower-world warrior!!!"

He couldn't help but curse inwardly, then his fierce gaze swept around, searching for Mu Lan's figure, which was completely out of his sight, and a faint dark red light began to flicker in his eyes.

It seems that Wu Di felt he couldn't escape with Mu Lan blocking his way, so he wanted to deal with Mu Lan first.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes...

Perhaps it is a sign that some kind of magic is about to be used.

And just as the shaman was casting his spell...

Behind the passage, where the yin and filth permeated the air, the Scaled Ghost, whose spiritual energy was not flowing smoothly and whose combat power could no longer be fully exerted, also realized the danger and wanted to retreat away from He Li.

But He Li's reaction was also quick.

hum! ! !

A flash of golden light appeared, and the scaled monster that had just raised its leg was instantly suppressed by spiritual power.

However, Lin Gui was still a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Even though his spiritual energy circulation was not smooth, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength, he was still far stronger than Jian Feng Dao Ren and the others in terms of power.

The spiritual power exerted by He Li...

After only suppressing the Scaled Monster for a short while, the Scaled Monster, whose scales emitted a golden-red luster and seemed to have used some kind of ability, forcibly broke free and retreated.

However, although he broke free from the pressure of the spiritual energy, he could take advantage of the moment when the spiritual energy suppressed him...

He Li had already rushed up as well.

That shrewd creature retreated less than two steps.

He Li, who rushed up, swung his hand, which transformed into thousands of blood threads that enveloped his body and forcibly dragged him to He Li's side, whose body was now shrouded in a strange black mist.

"The strange creatures at the Nascent Soul stage, not to mention their abilities, just the sheer amount of spiritual energy within your body is enormous."

"If I devour you, my strength will..."

"It should increase quite a bit, right?"

"Hehehe~" He Li, whose appearance had become ferocious and eerie, stared at the Scaled Monster that was close at hand, its scarlet eyes showing a hint of fear, and suddenly opened its mouth wide...

Snap!

As He Li Lie's gaping maw closed, the entire head of the Scaled Ghost was bitten off.

Immediately afterwards, a somewhat eerie chewing sound rang out from the dark passage and carried far away, which was overheard by the shaman who was paying attention to the situation.

Although I haven't seen clearly what He Li did yet.

But just hearing the chewing sound...

The shaman's hair stood on end.

What terrified him even more was that he suddenly noticed a change in He Li's aura within the Yin-filth Qi.

If He Li before gave him the feeling of being a god-like being who had not yet completely become a god among men, then He Li now gave him the feeling of being a true god.

And it's that kind of...

An extremely powerful, cruel, and unjust god.

Because the feeling He Li gave him at this moment was something he had experienced before with the original form of Yayu.

Although there are still some differences between the two.

But overall, they are similar.

This makes it very clear what He Li must possess—he must have some special power that allows him to transform into a god, and even a high-level god.

Realizing this, and vaguely guessing that the Scaled Ghost might be devoured by He Li, how could Wu Di not panic?

He was already drenched in sweat.

His original plan to use his trump card to eliminate Mu Lan first, and then escape, vanished instantly.

He had absolutely no desire to deal with Mu Lan anymore.

He didn't even care that Mu Lan would seriously injure him.

He retreated in terror, then used all his magic to increase his speed and frantically fled deeper into the passage, frantically pulling out a mirror as he ran...

He Li had already devoured the scales and monsters clean.

A long-forgotten whisper echoed in his mind...

[Target Devoured: Scaled Ghost]

[Status: Corpse-like]

[Acquired Abilities: Blood Scales, Corpse Transformation]

Blood Scales: A water beast whose scales can transform into a dragon; a human being whose scales can ascend to immortality. Those clad in blood scales can increase their physical abilities tenfold by burning their vital energy, and may even ascend to the Heavenly Gate to become immortals...

"Zombification: The body is like a dead thing!"

Huh? He actually has two abilities?

"The zombification shouldn't be his own ability."

"But this ability is on him, so if I eat him I can directly obtain this ability? Hey, I've hit the jackpot. Also... this Blood Scale of the Scale Demon is something else."

"There's actually a shortcut to immortality?"

After processing the whispered information in his mind, He Li was somewhat surprised by Lin Gui's ability, Blood Scale.

Under normal circumstances, this ability can only increase physical abilities such as strength and speed tenfold, but its more important function is to take shortcuts.

There has long been a legend about carp leaping over the dragon gate.

"It is said that the carp that leaps over the Dragon Gate can transform into a dragon."

"I never expected that even monsters could have similar situations."

"Heavenly Gate... That's interesting. If we find this so-called Heavenly Gate later, we might give it a try. Even if we can't become immortals directly, we should still gain some benefits."

He Li pondered in his mind.

But he didn't stop walking.

Having rested early, Wudi wanted to escape. Now that he had dealt with Lin Gui, he immediately activated the Blood Scale effect, his speed exploding rapidly and disappearing into the passage, closely chasing after Wudi.

However, Wu Di, who ignored Mu Lan's attack and only cared about escaping at full speed, was also incredibly fast.

He Li chased after him for several tens of seconds.

I didn't even see him.

If it weren't for the traces of battle left by Mu Lan's relentless pursuit of Wu Di along the passage, He Li would have thought he was going in the wrong direction.

"Hmph, this guy can run pretty fast."

He Li stared at the faint light flickering in the depths of the dark corridor ahead and sneered.

Meanwhile, Wu Di, who was already covered in bloody holes and somewhat weakened at the exit of the corridor, still ignored Mu Lan, who was still attacking him frantically.

He only looked up at the circular doorway standing in front of him, supported by four blood-red pillars that could not be encircled by dozens of people, in an incredibly huge, empty blue brick room.

Upon seeing the door frame, Wu Di's face lit up with joy.

He quickly grabbed the mirror and stepped forward...

"That's... the entrance to the interdimensional passage?"

At that moment, a voice sounded from behind, and Wu Di froze on the spot.

Mu Lan, who was preparing to stop Wu Di and even intending to attack the seemingly important mirror in Wu Di's hand when she realized she couldn't stop him, also stopped.

She turned around with delight to look at the exit of the corridor...

Sure enough, He Li's figure had already appeared.

He moved swiftly and appeared in front of Wudi, who was frozen in place, in an instant.

Then he reached out and took the mirror from his hand.

This is an antique bronze mirror.

On the surface, there is nothing particularly special about it.

He Li briefly examined himself in the mirror before looking up at Wu Di, whose face was extremely pale, showing signs of panic and fear. He then shook the bronze mirror in his hand and began to speak…

"What is this bronze mirror?"

"What is its purpose?"
