CH 80.2

The “victim” was finally remembered, and Bai Lixin looked up at Count Aer, asking, “Count Aer, if I may ask, how long has this wound lasted?”

Count Aer held his breath and squeezed the words out of his throat, “Ten years.”

This quack doctor finally remembered to inquire about the patient’s condition?

He saw Bai Lixin lower his head again the next second. “It’s been ten years, but only half of the leg has been bitten off,” he said to Dijia beside him. “How long will it take to eat the entire body?”

“It’s quite fast, give it forty or fifty years,” Dijia said. “Even if before those years elapse, the dark magic would have consumed vital organs such as the kidneys or lungs, rendering those who are affected by it essentially waste. Allow ten to twenty years.”

Count Aer: “……”

Is this something you should say to the patient?!

Where are the medical ethics?!

……….

In the live broadcast room.

[Is this killing the heart? He is so cruel, I love it so much.]

[This is what happens when you offend God Xin, right? You dare to blackmail God Xin when you are just a small boss.]

[God Xin and the skeleton big boss have tacit understanding. It reminds me of the days when God Xin and the copy big boss were together.]

[ Count Aer: I am not a human being, but you guys are really dogs.]

…………

Bai Lixin and Dijia appeared to seriously observe for a long time before standing straight and looking at him as an oncologist would look at a cancer patient. Bai Lixin exhaled a long sigh. “In short, Count Aer, we will do our best.”

“In order to be able to heal you, I hope you can fully cooperate with the treatment, and we will definitely be able to overcome the problem.”

“First and foremost, you must alter your work and sleep schedules.”

Count Aer: “???”

Bai Lixin: “Many diseases are caused by sleep deprivation. From today onwards, no more staying up late, this will only aggravate your injuries and illnesses.”

Count Aer: “……”

I’m a feline!

You go to hell, right now!

He wanted to throw a fit, but Bai Lixin’s eyes were unusually serious.

He asked Bai Lixin hesitantly, “Is it true that I will only live another ten years?”

Bai Lixin: “ It’s your body, so you should be clear about that. Do you understand why you should sleep at night? Dark magic is most active at night, and when active dark magic meets active you, it’s like a kiss and dance.”

“You must sleep at night to inhibit your activity and thus suppress the dark magic. When the black magic is vulnerable, You can become active during the day when the black magic is most vulnerable.”

Count Aer suddenly came to a realization: “So that’s how it is.”

So he is not a quack.

“Believe the doctor’s words, and you won’t have to worry about the disease,” Bai Lixin said solemnly to Count Aer.

“Be good, listen to me and go to bed immediately.”

Count Aer: “Okay.”

Wait? Something doesn’t seem right.

……….

In the live broadcast room.

[This Count Aer doesn’t seem too smart.]

[The Fear of Death.]

[The Doctor Is “Right”.]

[Is Bai Lixin trying to make me laugh by asking a feline to adjust its sleep hours ? Where did Count Aer’s viciousness go?]

[I’m afraid he is a fool.]

[God Xin skillfully maneuvered his play. The main character, Count Aer, believed him and really went to sleep. This is the victory of the person doing the fooling.]

……….

Bai Lixin successfully got rid of Count Aer, leaving only him and Dijia in the parlor.

Dijia leaned against the wall lazily and gazed at Bai Lixin who was looking left and right.

This little guy always surprised him, he was curious as to what the other party planned to do next.

Dijia: “Did you get rid of him because you wanted to have a two person world with me?”

Bai Lixin gave him an oblique glance and glanced at his waist in annoyance.

Dijia: “????”

Annoyance?

So you don’t want me like this?

Dijia fell silent when he noticed Bai Lixin pull a summoning card from his backpack.

This was a summoning card he won at Punk Paradise’s hoop game, but its effect was slightly worse than Xia Chi’s.

Xia Chi’s could summon any character, whereas his could only summon characters that were in the same copy.

After spending a lot of time with each other, Dijia had grown accustomed to his strange behavior of suddenly pulling out strange and strange things from his arms.

He saw the text on the card and couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you going to summon with your summoning card? Is there anything I can’t help you with as your master?”

Bai Lixin sent another annoyed look at him “What are you talking about, you unlucky egg?”

Dijia: “……”

So, who are you going to summon?

While Dijia was still torn, the summoning card in Bai Lixin’s hand suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke, and a figure appeared in front of them.

Xia Chi was still holding a fireball in his hand as he looked at Bai Lixin with a dumbfounded expression, “Brother?”

“Why am I here?”

He was creating a trump card with Li Cancan and Liang Xi when he was brought in while practicing his magic.

The fire was extinguished with a poof. Xia Chi blinked blankly, and he noticed Dijia staring at him with hostility.

“Don’t be nervous, I used the summoning card on you,” Bai Lixin patted Xia Chi’s shoulder. “You only have fifteen minutes; where do you think the Beast tribe’s secret treasure is in this castle, based on your intuition?”

Xia Chi still has that dumbfounded look.

“What? This is the castle?”

“The beast race’s secret treasure is here? I don’t know where it is.”

Dijia approached, his low voice carrying a deep meaning, “You summoned him for this?”

Bai Lixin: “I don’t want to struggle. I occasionally crave the sensation of holding thick thighs.”

Xia Chi: “……”

What did he hear?

Xia Chi finally understood the situation and he looked at Bai Lixin in horror.

Brother wants to hug his thigh? What could he do?

The pressure was so great.

“Then… should I look around?” Xia Chi’s voice trembled.

Bai Lixin: “Don’t be under pressure, the more casual the better.”

Let me see how much authority Tan Yue can give you.

At the same time, Bai Lixin asked the escape system in his mind: [System, do you know where the secret treasure of the Beast race is?]

Escape system: [Sorry, I really do not know. First, I can’t provide too much assistance to the player, and second, I honestly don’t know. The main system strictly controls the amount of information it disseminates in order for us not to provide solutions to problems.]

Bai Lixin: [Okay, I understand, it doesn’t matter. ]

Xia Chi walked around the parlor and turned to Bai Lixin, saying, “Brother, it isn’t here; let’s go to other rooms to see.”

Bai Lixin: “Let’s go.”

Five minutes later, Xia Chi entered Count Aer’s study on the second floor.

He walked around the room and stopped in the middle of the study.

Bai Lixin stood next to Xia Chi and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Chi’s eyes narrowed as he looked up at the chandelier. “What is that?” he asked, hesitantly pointing to the wick in the middle of the chandelier.

Bai Lixin squinted his eyes as he followed Xia Chi’s gaze. The lamp in the chandelier’s center was flickering with an unusual golden afterglow.

He quickly summoned a vine and lifted himself up.

Dijia also cooperated by turning off the light.

Bai Lixin touched the wick in the middle, and the system prompt suddenly rang out.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Secret Treasure of the Beast Race! 2 out of 4 secret treasures have been obtained. The time remaining is three days and three nights. Time is limited, so the players should hurry up.]

Bai Lixin: “……”

Xia Chi: “……”

Dijia: “……”

The thick thighs took victory.

In the live broadcast room

[God Xin: I’m numb, I don’t want to struggle.]

[Isn’t this god like?]

[Did Xia Chi save the world in his previous life to receive such good fortune?]

[God Xin: play to win.

Xia Chi: lie down to win.]

[I recall Xia Chi having an A luck value. Although having such a high luck value is not uncommon, no one has ever been as fortunate as Xia Chi. This is not an A luck value; instead, it is SS.]

[It is quite overpowered, but luck is such a metaphysical thing and can not be explained.]

[I’m going to die laughing. The distance between God Xin and Xia Chi’s luck is a galaxy.]

[For the first time, I feel that God Xin Shen is a little pitiful, even a little aggrieved.]

………….

The most dangerous place is also the safest?

Who would have guessed that Count Aer would go off the beaten path and hide the Beast race’s secret treasure inside the lampshade in such a dignified manner?

No, Xia Chi’s A luck came up with it.

Xia Chi: “Brother, I am so lucky that I am afraid of myself.”

“Don’t be afraid,” Bai Lixin gave Xia Chi a deep look, “that’s what you deserve, he will always be around to protect you.”

Xia Chi: “Yes, it has saved me several times. Even in a crisis, I get a sudden flash of inspiration in my head, and it’s all because of this luck value.”

Cub, I’m not talking about the luck value.

Bai Lixin did not explain himself and simply smiled at Xia Chi, saying, “Well, you can thank him later.”

Xia Chi: “? In the future? I’ll thank it every day.”

The summon’s duration was almost up, and just as the 15 minutes were about to expire, Xia Chi froze and pointed to the ground.

“Brother, I just had another flash of inspiration. There is something crying down there.” His body had begun to gradually become transparent as he added, “But I don’t know what it is.”

Bai Lixin: “Okay, I’ll go down and see.”

Xia Chi’s voice struggled to come through in the final seconds before he vanished.

“I had another flash of inspiration! Brother, the basement entrance is the third room on the left side of the first floor stairs!”

With that, Xia Chi disappeared.

……………

Li Cancan and Liang Xi stared at Xia Chi, who had just come back with wide eyes.

Li Cancan: “Uh, Xia Chi, what just happened?”

Xia Chi “You may not believe me when I say it, I just found the secret treasure of the beast tribe with a single finger.”

Liang Xi and Li Cancan looked at each other and nodded vigorously. “We believe it!”

Xia Chi: “???”

It turns out that my luck value is so domineering?

But this luck value is a bit strange. I often have a flash of inspiration in my mind, as if someone had opened the back door for me.

……….

Bai Lixin’s backpack now contained two hidden treasures. He had three days and three nights left to find the secret treasures of the Human and Undead races.

The Mermaid’s Heart had reached lv9 and the proficiency at level 9 was full. However, it had yet to progress to level 10.

Something was wrong.

In addition to healing minor surface wounds, the Mermaid’s Heart could remove common toxins and even repair mutilated body parts.

But like the toxin in the Night elves, the Mermaid’s Heart is unable to heal Count Aer’s magic induced injury.

He could only use magic potions or other methods to get rid of these magical injuries before healing.

When the Mermaid’s Heart reaches level 10, it will have resurrection power.

Bai Lixin stroked the black pearl necklace around his neck. He didn’t know if the power of resurrection could resurrect Zhou Guang and the others.

Dijia: “Do you want to go to the place Xia Chi mentioned and take a look?”

Bai Lixin retracted his thoughts: “Yes, let’s go.”

The two followed Xia Chi’s directions and arrived at the first floor stairway.

Count Aer had gone to rest and the whole castle was quiet.

Perhaps the rest were ordered to be quiet so as not to disturb Count Aer’s sleep.

As they walked, Dijia asked: “How did I not realize that sleeping can counteract dark magic? Can the light of day put a stop to dark magic? Who said it? Where did you read it?”

“I was fooling the big cat,” Bai Lixin counted the doors and came to the third room Xia Chi had mentioned , “Did you believe his luck?”

Dijia: “…… how can I believe?”

He really believed in the other party’s luck, but he absolutely couldn’t let his disciple know that he believed in that kind of nonsense.

The door had a brass lock and a faint odor of blood emanating from it.

Bai Lixin and Dijia glanced at each other. Dijia’s hand lightly knocked on the brass lock, and the brass lock responded with a ‘click’.

Bai Lixin watched Dijia’s skillful unlocking action, and his mind went back to that time in the trial copy.

The village head had locked the basement at the time, trapping him and Li Cancan. Dijia, who had turned into water, assisted in opening the lock, and they were able to escape the basement.

Although Dijia had lost his memory, he had always appeared beside him in some way.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Dijia asked, his throat tightening. “I really don’t do this kind of ridiculous thing that often.”

This look—was he being suspected of being a crook?

Bai Lixin chuckled: “I just thought that Master looked very handsome.”

Dijia: “Is that so? I also know a fancy way to open locks, do you want to see?”

Bai Lixin: “……”

It is not necessary.

Dijia entered the room first, and Bai Lixin followed from behind.

The smell of blood was heavier once the room was opened.

Before Bai Lixin could turn around to see the scene in the room, Dijia had already covered his eyes.

A huge cold palm suddenly covered his eyes, and Bai Lixin couldn’t see anything.

Bai Lixin: “What’s wrong? What is it that I can’t see?”

Dijia’s voice is very low. “You better not look.”

Bai Lixin: “Is it very bloody?”

Dijia: “More than that.”

Bai Lixin gently patted Dijia’s hand as he said, “It’s okay, I’m quite strong.”

Dijia deliberated for a seconds before taking his hand away from Bai Lixin’s eyes and saying, “Okay, but lean over if you feel uncomfortable.”

Bai Lixin finally saw the scene that was obscured.

His eyebrows furrowed together in a frown.

There were several hooks on the wall, and beastmen hung like dead objects over them.

There were both canines and feline beastmen among these beastmen, who were generally very thin.

The beastmen’s neck was the most sensitive and vulnerable area, but those hooks had penetrated their fur and they were hanging over the hooks with only that little support.

These beastmen instinctively curled up with their bodies and whimpered silently.

In the center, there was another group of beastmen. Their limbs were bound, whip marks covered their bodies, and bright red blood stained their fur.

Several discarded pieces of fur were strewn about the room. The pelts were still bloody and should have been removed long ago.

Bai Lixin was reminded of the corpse he saw when he first entered the castle. It was red and drenched in blood, as if he had died just moments before.

Could that be the owner of one of these skins?

The beastmen, who had not lost consciousness, whimpered and looked at the strangers as they entered.

He couldn’t tell if their eyes were pleading for help or terrified.
