Chapter 1623: Chapter 698: Thanks for the Gift of Nature! (Part 2)

“Ah!”

The goat-headed butcher fell to the ground, screaming, wailing, still reaching out, trying desperately to crawl away from Lin Baici.

Lin Baici walked over, stepped on its back, and aimed the gun at its head.

“Bye-bye!”

Bang!

The bullet blew apart the butcher’s goat head.

Of those apprentices, two were very scared and ran away immediately, while two, full of courage, roared and charged at Lin Baici with pig-killing knives.

Lin Baici grabbed the barrel with his left hand and pushed it down.

Bang bang!

Two shells emitting white smoke ejected from the chamber.

Lin Baici grabbed two shells from the bullet band, stuffed them in, then grabbed the barrel and pushed it back up.

Click!

Loaded.

At this moment, the two apprentices rushed in front of Lin Baici, wielding pig-killing knives, striking at his head.

Lin Baici fired!

Bang bang!

The heads and shoulders of the two apprentices were blasted apart.

Lin Baici reloaded, pursuing them!

No monster that has tainted itself with human blood deserves to live!

“So strong!”

San Miyairi exclaimed in admiration.

Lin Baici was already impressive, and with this shotgun, he was unstoppable.

“Isn’t this too strong?”

Walker and Holkina arrived in a hurry and witnessed the scene, filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.

They had seen the brutal and intense battle with the butcher earlier, proving that this monster was a formidable opponent, but now, it was dispatched with a single shot.

As easily as hunting a rabbit.

In fact, the double-barreled shotgun was specifically designed to counter these goat-headed monsters, causing them fear at the sight, making it easy for Lin Baici.

[Why kill such small fry?]

[Let’s eat quickly!]

[The goat-headed butcher’s stomach holds God’s bones and possesses the Divine Grace of “digestion,” allowing wounds to heal faster by consuming flesh.]

[The fresher the meat, the higher the recovery rate!]

“How many paths?”

Lin Baici moved closer within shotgun range, not bothering to run, firing twice straight away.

Bang bang!

The two apprentices fell heavily injured.

[Five paths!]

This goat-headed creature was polluted after a deity at Wolong Villa fed a sheep with God’s blood, and the shotgun was a private stash of the villa’s original owner, tainted by the deity’s manipulation.

Lin Baici finished off the two apprentices and returned to the goat-headed butcher’s corpse, put on the butcher’s mask, and began dissecting the body.

The crowd hurried over.

Brother Overcoat, with his bad temper and unwillingness to suffer losses, vented his anger with a kick at the butcher’s head.

“Get out of my way!”

Lin Baici shouted.

“Lord Lin, what are you doing?”

Qiu Shankui asked humbly.

“Digging out God’s bones!”

Once the goat-headed creature’s liver was extracted, everyone saw it, so there was no need to hide it.

“Ah?”

Qiu Shankui was surprised, then revealed excitement: “How did you know this monster had God’s bones in its body?”

San Miyairi shook her head, thinking how foolish Aoi was to expect someone to reveal their secrets.

Lin Baici opened the butcher’s chest cavity, took out the stomach sac, intact and unharmed.

When this organ was exposed to the air, ordinary people like Grey mother immediately felt dizzy, and those with weaker constitutions began vomiting.

“This is God’s bones; the radiation is immense. Stay back!”

Xia Hongyao warned.

“Red Medicine, Qingqiu, Small Fish, come over!”

As Lin Baici called them over, spots of light gathered and condensed into two starry arms on his shoulders. He reached over the monster’s large stomach sac and snatched up two glowing multicolored clusters.

Inside the clusters, there was a small golden sphere, dazzling like a tiny sun.

“Open your mouth!”

Lin Baici commanded.

“You eat first!”

Xia Hongyao awaited the next round.

“You really are not shy!”

San Miyairi teased.

“Little Linzi and I have a life-and-death dedication of ‘raising your wife’.”

Xia Hongyao casually put an arm around Lin Baici’s neck.

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

Lin Baici cast a glance at High Ponytail.

“Wouldn’t it be a waste to give it to me?”

Yue Yu worried.

Lin Baici didn’t need to urge them to open their mouths; the Starlight Arm grabbed the light orb and directly stuffed it into Yue Yu and Gu Qingqiu’s mouths.

“Cough, cough!”

Gu Qingqiu coughed and gagged after being prodded.

Yue Yu raised her hand, covering her mouth, worried that the Divine Grace, which had turned into golden liquid, would spill out.

That would be a waste.

Soon after, Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao consumed the Divine Grace.

[Thanks for the Gift of Nature!]

“Is this Divine Grace?”

Lu Changming gulped, knowing that he probably wouldn’t get any, but he was unwilling to give up without trying: “God Lin, can you give me a light orb?”

“You know my character; name your price, and I won’t hesitate!”

“Stop daydreaming!” Qiu Shankui mocked, “Being a billionaire is useless; no amount of money can buy Divine Grace!”

“Sorry!”

Lin Baici refused.

After the Divine Grace imprinted on the neurons, Xia Hongyao couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, a healing type Divine Grace, awesome!”

High Ponytail hugged Lin Baici tightly, pressing him against her chest, then kissed his hair.

Walker and Holkina felt uneasy upon hearing this.

Who doesn’t want to be healthy and live long, free of illness and disaster?

Especially for a God Hunter, exploring the Divine Ruins inevitably leads to injuries, making the value of healing type Divine Grace always top-tier.

After distributing the spoils, the makeshift team continued onward.

Lin Baici noticed Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu were interested in the Lamb Shotgun, so he handed them the fur coat and shotgun: “Wear this to play, or else you’ll have the urge to commit suicide by shooting.”

The bullet belt on Lin Baici’s body was also a complementary taboo item; after the shotgun shells were used up, if placed in a sunless place, the bullet belt would be refilled in 6 hours.

The group left the small town alive, but seeing so many missing faces, their spirits were not at ease at all.

“How many more rounds of rule pollution do we have to endure?”

Chen Shaolian’s lips trembled: “Three rounds? Five rounds?”

The more times, the slimmer the hope of survival.

“You guys are so unlucky this time!”

Walker clicked his tongue: “Logically, after securing the God’s bones, the God’s ruins should dissipate, but Lin Longyi just found a piece of God’s bones, yet the ruins remain…”

Walker lowered his voice, putting on a mysterious expression: “There’s a good chance there’s a God in these Divine Ruins.”

“A God?”

Lu Changming was stunned.

“What’s that?”

Grey mother shivered.

“Damn, that name sounds terrifying!”

Brother Overcoat wanted a sip of water to calm his nerves.

Walker, enjoying his dark sense of humor, was scaring them, but he never imagined that Wolong Villa really housed a God.

With nowhere else to go, everyone followed Lin Baici.

Another half-hour passed without encountering rule pollution, but the mental pressure was immense.

Brother Overcoat, even though he was a man, had ruined his body by indulging in feasts, lacking routine, staying up late frequently, and often visiting salons for fast food.

He began vomiting frequently, and his skin broke out in welts, seeping blood.

This heightened everyone’s fear.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in the air.

Everyone halted in their tracks.

“Is this rule pollution?”

Classmate Zhou listened intently.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Baici followed the direction of the laughter.

“That laughter sounds terrifying, should we not go?”

Grey mother suggested quietly.

“It’s useless; hearing the laughter means you’ve already been polluted. The only way out is to secure the taboo things!”

Xia Hongyao explained.

The laughter soon turned into cries, and after a few sobs, it became a piercing scream, as if witnessing something obscene, frightening everyone.

They walked for over ten minutes and finally arrived in front of a moon gate.

Grey mother craned her neck, peering inside, but dense fog hung in the air, obscuring her view.

“You!”

Walker pointed a finger at Brother Overcoat: “Go in first!”

Brother Overcoat didn’t want to go.

Without another word, Walker walked over and kicked him directly.

Brother Overcoat, helpless, knowing he couldn’t escape, darted like a rabbit into the moon gate, then immediately squatted down, eyes wide, observing his surroundings.

Before he could see anything, he got kicked in the back.

It was Walker who came in.

“Spread out, search this area!”

Walker gave orders, but no one listened to him, all huddled around Lin Baici.
