MTL - Virtue is Abundant-Chapter 1 lamb to be slaughtered

Wu Xiaode looked forward.

Cold sweat flowed down his neck and down his back, bursting out with icy chills, but he didn't even notice it.

— A monster was sitting on the pile of corpses several hundred meters ahead.

It was a cyclops.

It is quite huge, even if it sits on a hill-like pile of bones, it is as high as a three-story building.

"Bah, your human flesh is really unpalatable."

The giant grabbed a corpse, chewed it, and complained.

Its eyes are full of tyranny and cruelty, its mouth is full of blood and water, and its skin is covered with a layer of dark gray, which looks like a hard rock.

Has Wu Xiaode ever seen such a hellish scene?

Is this a dream?

He stretched out his trembling hand and twisted the flesh on his waist fiercely.

- Not a dream.

Why did you appear in such a terrifying place?

A voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"Three, you are the last group to enter here."

Wu Xiaode suddenly turned to look.

I saw a little girl with injuries all over her body, leaning against the wall, her face was covered in blood, and she didn't look like she could live for long.

she says-

three?

Wu Xiaode followed her gaze and looked around.

Suddenly, two other people appeared beside me.

A man wearing a bamboo hat and a full set of night clothes, clutching a cold long sword in both hands, is looking left and right.

The other was an old man, leaning on a dark black scepter in his hand, exuding bursts of palpitating aura from time to time.

Masked Nightcrawler, old man, himself.

Exactly three people.

"Excuse me, why did you appear here?" the masked man said vigilantly.

The little girl was about to answer when she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, the old man turned to look at the corpse mountain and the Cyclops hundreds of meters away, and frowned, "The Cyclops is a monster in myths and legends... It turned out to be this place."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiaode and the masked man couldn't help looking at him together.

"Your Excellency, do you know where this place is?"

The masked man asked cautiously.

The old man nodded and said, "I know a legend about the 'Death Cave'—"

"When a living being falls into a mortal fate, there is a certain probability of entering here - the Cyclops is in this devil's cave, and its strength is extremely terrifying. Once anyone enters here, they will never be able to get out again, and can only be eaten by the Cyclops. ."

The old man turned pale after speaking.

The masked man's body also trembled, and he said in a low voice, "You mean, we are actually dead?"

"Even if you're not dead, you'll die soon - death is our destiny, that's why we're here." The old man whispered.

The masked man looked down at the sword in his hand, and said thoughtfully, "I was exploring a top-secret ancient ruin. I took this sword from the deepest trap, and then the whole ruin began to collapse."

The old man turned to look at Wu Xiaode and asked, "Little brother, what were you doing before you were sent here?"

"I'm fighting someone." Wu Xiaode said.

"A fight?" the masked man answered.

"It's strange...it was just an ordinary fight, but someone hid in the dark and stabbed me from the back." Wu Xiaode answered truthfully.

"That's right," the old man looked at the masked man and then at Wu Xiaode, "One of you will be killed by the organs of the ruins, and the other will be stabbed to death by a plot, and I am dueling an enemy today."

The three fell silent together.

die-

It turned out that he was already in a situation of mortal death, so he was sent to this death cave?

It sounds so ridiculous.

The masked man was still in disbelief, turned his head to the little girl and said, "This girl, what's your situation?"

The little girl was now able to speak, and said, "I encountered an assassination in the wild."

Wu Xiaode's heart sank slowly, and he looked around.

The ground was full of people wearing uniform armor, all of them were killed, and their corpses fell to pieces in a pool of blood.

These people seem to be the little girl's entourage.

Among them are several brave men with swords, and some maids—

There's even a chef with a full set of barbecue utensils.

Even the chef has...

It seems that these people do not seem to be preparing to fight the giants, but they seem to have entered this place by accident, just like themselves.

Right again.

It was a coincidence that a person was in danger and was teleported in.

Now everyone is in different dangerous situations, and then appeared here.

This proves what the old man said.

"That's right, this is the legendary death cave. It seems that we are the ones chosen by fate, and we will all die here." The old man sighed.

The masked man trembled, hugged the sword in his arms tightly, took a step back, and said in a low voice, "No... It shouldn't be like this, I finally got this sword."

No one responded to him.

Wu Xiaode also gritted his teeth—

Chosen by fate?

Die here?

I'm obviously just an ordinary person, why does this kind of thing happen to me!

"No." Wu Xiaode said suddenly.

Everyone else looked at him.

"Everyone around you is dead, but you are still alive. Why did the giant let you go?" he asked the little girl.

The little girl smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why I'm not dead is because the giant wants to keep a fresh bite and eat it later."

From a distance, the giant seemed to sense the movement here.

It tore a warhorse into two parts, one of which was randomly stuffed into the mouth, chewing and eating, and said in a urn:

"She's right - people who die in fear will quickly stink and become sour, and they will not taste good at all."

"Are you alive...Although you will be afraid, but it will be better."

The giant's voice came from afar in the quiet and cold cave, with a penetrating meaning.

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

It's really unimaginable, it turns out that's the truth.

Beside him, the old man's body began to tremble, and the masked man clenched the long sword involuntarily.

——I don't know if it was dizziness or what, Wu Xiaode always felt that the long sword was shaking constantly, as if he wanted to break free from the masked man's hands.

The giant's body was filled with cold air, which spread out silently in all directions, causing the walls and ground to be covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost.

The huge and fierce aura on it is even more magnificent, making it impossible for people to resist.

Wu Xiaode just glanced at it, and felt flustered for a while, and his feet were almost unsteady.

——This is not a scene that humans can deal with at all.

Incomprehensible.

Why did you appear in such a terrifying place!

Is there only a dead end?

Wu Xiaode was full of despair, but found that something suddenly appeared in front of him.

A thick book with a black cover appeared in the void, opened it to himself, revealing lines of cold light, crystal-clear small frosty characters:

"In this strange land full of undead and heroic spirits, your soul naturally resonates with this place, thus activating the deep potential and awakening a special ability: the Book of the Dead."

"The Book of the Dead immediately begins to unleash its power, providing you with optional commissions."

"Current number of optional delegates: 2."

"Please choose one of the delegates to execute to get the corresponding reward."

With hope in Wu Xiaode's heart, he quickly looked down.

"Commission 1: A sensible lamb."

"Description: Cyclops is an extremely powerful being. Even if you awaken a rare ability like the Book of the Dead, you can't defeat it in a hurry, so you are doomed."

"The Cyclops longs for a perfect meal, and as a lamb to be slaughtered, please strip off your clothes so that the giant can eat happily."

"Delegation reward: eaten by giants."

Wu Xiaode read it quickly and couldn't help but scold.

Who would choose this commission?

Who will?

——Speaking of which, this neurotic ability really awakened on your own?

He continued to look down, only to see another commission below:

"Commission 2: The lamb to be slaughtered."

"Description: You must keep the little girl alive, even temporarily."

"Delegation reward: This is your only chance to survive, and this book can't guarantee that it will be useful, but there is always some illusory hope."

Wu Xiaode's heart jumped, and he squinted at the masked man and the old man.

I saw the two of them staring at the Cyclops, their expressions full of alertness, but they turned a blind eye to the black book in the void.

As for the little girl, she was vomiting blood.

She was about to die, and she didn't even glance at the cold words in the void.

Is it...

Only you can read this book?

"Everyone," the masked man grabbed his long sword and said, "This place is extremely ominous, let's take a step down."

The masked man jumped up slightly, and flew towards the corner of the wall.

Fly!

Wu Xiaode's heart jumped.

——The masked man can fly!

It wasn't over yet, the old man waved his scepter and shouted, "Go! Go! Go!"

A firebird several meters long appeared at the feet of the old man, supporting him and chasing the masked man.

Wu Xiaode looked in the direction the two were heading, and saw a human-sized hole in the corner of the wall.

I see!

With the huge body of a giant, it is impossible to pass through this hole, so the two have to escape towards this hole!

"They are so strong, maybe there is hope to escape!" the little girl murmured.

She suddenly threw something to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took it and looked at it, but it was a scale armor as thin as cicada wings.

There is a strange power fluctuation on the scale armor, as if it has a little repulsion to everything around it.

"It can protect you from being killed in one blow, go away, there is someone to cover, maybe you can survive!"

The little girl looked at Wu Xiaode with anticipation and encouraged him.

"Why give it to me?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"If you can run, one is one, let's go!" the little girl said.

Wu Xiaode was a little touched.

-Unfortunately, the little girl's face was covered in blood scabs, and she couldn't tell what she looked like.

I don't even know who she is.

But no matter what, as the little girl said, she already has this armor that looks like a treasure.

Since there are powerful masked men and mage running ahead, why don't you follow?

Fight.

It's hard work!

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth, put on the close-fitting scale armor, and bent over to pick up a spear from the body of a guard.

The spear was so heavy that it couldn't move, and dragging it would affect the speed.

- This spear weighs at least three hundred pounds.

Someone moved this spear?

Originally, I thought that if I could rush into the burrow, at least there was a weapon behind me to defend myself, but now it seems that I can only forget it.

Putting down the spear, Wu Xiaode picked up a short knife—

no!

This knife is also very heavy!

——It affects the speed!

Wu Xiaode gave up the idea of ​​picking up weapons.

When he was delayed, the masked man flew to the corner of the wall and was about to burrow into the hole. The old man followed closely behind him on a flamingo.

Mutation is sudden.

On the pile of corpses, the giant suddenly raised his head, grinned and showed ferocious sharp teeth, and said with a grim smile:

"Professionals? Your meat must be chewy."

Wu Xiaode didn't see what was going on at all.

He only saw the giant's big steel-like hand grabbing from the air—

The next moment.

The masked man was clenched tightly by it, put it into his mouth, and chewed it hard.

"It's really unpalatable!"

The giant shook his head, stretched out his other hand, and grabbed it at will.

The firebird was immediately shot out, and the old man was caught entirely. The giant sniffed him in front of his nose, and said in a disappointed tone:

"The fear in your heart is too great, the meat is sour."

It slapped the old man out with one palm and slammed into a hard stone wall hundreds of meters away.

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, waved his scepter, and released a ray of light to form a shield—

The giant's one eye suddenly widened, staring straight at the old man.

An incredible scene appeared!

A crimson ray flew out from the giant's one eye, penetrated the light shield, and hit the old man.

The old man didn't even let out a scream, his entire body disintegrated completely, turning into a pool of bright red blood that kept flowing down and gradually dried on the wall.

he died.

—Like a mosquito that was shot to death.

The giant snorted, and while chewing heavily, he turned his head and looked at Wu Xiaode with one eye.

Everything happened in a few short breaths.

The masked man and the old man had just landed in front of the hole in the corner of the wall, and Wu Xiaode had just given up picking up weapons.

It all ended as soon as it started.

Wu Xiaode stared blankly at the dazzling scarlet beach on the stone wall.

——This is going to be a hoot!

It seems that there is only one dead end.

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth and picked up the machete from the ground—

He has absolutely no idea what it means, but no matter what, at the last moment of his life, he must not be like a coward!

He took a deep breath and raised his machete.

-Good weight!

The machete was laboriously held above his head, twisting crookedly because of his poor strength.

- How to fight this?

There is absolutely no way to fight this!

Wu Xiaode thought absentmindedly.

He met the giant's gaze—

The ugly, indifferent, ruthless giant pupil revealed more and more obvious irony.

The giant snorted contemptuously and muttered:

"For countless years, apart from escaping, few of you dare to fight me, even if you fight, you can't catch me, let alone hit me, ants, you are really as humble and ridiculous as dust. ."

No one ever hit it.

Wu Xiaode listened quietly, boundless despair in his heart.

The giant stretched out his hand and shot Wu Xiaode from the air.

Before Wu Xiaode could react, the scale armor on his body suddenly exuded a shroud of light, completely covering him.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

Wu Xiaode flew out upside down, rolled several times in a row, hit the wall, and was so dizzy that he couldn't get up for a while.

The mask shook for a while.

The whole piece of scale armor made a "click" and "click" sound, gradually cracked the dense lines, and finally scattered on the ground with a clatter.

This scale armor with magical power was completely damaged.

The giant said boringly: "It's that interesting armor... But what's the use? Its owner is dying, and you will too."

Wu Xiaode swayed, and finally stood up slowly against the wall, gasping for breath.

Thanks to the little girl's armor, she saved her life.

I almost died just now!

The giant seemed to have lost interest, no longer looked at him, but opened a big mouth full of sharp fangs—

Poof!

An afterimage was spat out by it, flew out like an afterimage, hit the wall, and bounced to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Dead silence.

Wu Xiaode was completely stunned when he looked at the long sword that was dyed red with blood.

This is the sword that the masked man has been holding tightly in his hand.

in this case-

The flying masked man has been swallowed by the giant.

I-

Is it the same ending?

Why do I have to face such a thing?

Wu Xiaode was a little dazed.

Behind him, the little girl whispered quickly:

"Flee quickly—this giant seems to be full, and the desire to attack has been reduced a lot, you are just an ordinary person, it doesn't look down on your flesh and blood—"

"At this moment, you have a chance to escape from here!"

Wu Xiaode glanced around, and saw a patch of blood spilled in front of the hole in the corner. It was dark inside, and he didn't know where to go.

Yes, this hole is too small for a giant to pass through!

"Walk together!"

Wu Xiaode put down his short knife and hurriedly helped the little girl.

No matter what, her armor saved her life just now, and she has to pay back!

"Don't worry about me, my injuries are too severe, and my bones are broken, so I can't live."

The little girl endured the pain and said.

Wu Xiaode looked at her twisted legs, only to feel as if something was stirring forcefully in her chest, and an indescribable emotion gradually filled her.

His eyes once again focused on the small lines of ice crystals in the void:

"Commission 2: The lamb to be slaughtered."

Is there really a chance of life?

Even the commission itself said the hope was very slim.

Wu Xiaode looked at the cave again.

The ground shook slightly.

The giant slowly climbed down from the towering corpse mountain, and it seemed that he planned to come this way.

escape—

For now, the only plan is to escape!

Wu Xiaode looked at the little girl again and wanted to say something.

"I'm already dying, run away—if you can survive, avenge me in the future!" The little girl looked at him deeply and said her last entrustment.

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth.

Damn.

Damn it!

He took big strides and rushed towards the hole with all his strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The giant really didn't bother to pay attention to him, he just walked towards this side step by step and said in his mouth:

"Rats are not worth eating - I have too much rat meat."

"However, a tender sprout with special power fluctuations can completely serve as the main meal of this meal."

Its one eye fell on the little girl.

finally.

When it stood in front of the little girl, Wu Xiaode had already rushed to the entrance of the cave.

He can leave now!

The little girl withdrew her gaze and looked at the giant in front of her.

There is no doubt that he will be eaten.

The little girl couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and began to sob slightly.

The giant looked at the little girl and said in a urn voice, "As a high-quality ingredient, you are qualified to say a last word."

The little girl looked at the entrance of the cave.

Wu Xiaode got into the hole and stood in the shadow of the hole.

——The cave is a steep **** with no end in sight. Just jump down and you can leave this terrifying place immediately.

But for some reason, Wu Xiaode hasn't left yet.

He stood in the dark, staring at the line of frosty words:

"Commission 2: The lamb to be slaughtered."

He appeared here inexplicably, and inexplicably got this book of the dead.

anyway-

Even the masked man and the mage didn't survive!

Are burrows safe?

No, there is absolutely no way to confirm this.

so-

Do you believe in the hints of this book of the dead, or do you want to run away in this completely unknown and terrifying land?

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth and looked at the little girl in the corner.

The two looked at each other.

The little girl wiped away her tears, sniffed, and shouted at him, "Let's go!"

Wu Xiaode froze in place.

In midair, the giant buzzed again:

"It's time to eat."

It slowly stretched out a huge hand with bloodstains and remnants of bones, and grabbed the little girl.

Everything came to an end.

Sudden-

A voice sounded from a cave not far away:

"If I were you, I wouldn't eat her so easily. After all, she's already full of fear."

"According to what you said, the body of a person who died because of fear would stink and sour, and it would not taste good at all, even if it was a living person, wouldn't it?"

The giant's hand stopped.

The little girl also showed disbelief, and looked straight at the hole.

I saw Wu Xiaode walking out of the cave.

His face was very pale, and his body was still trembling slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the giant.

**** it.

He cursed secretly in his heart, and said loudly to the giant:

"In this cave, apart from the corpse, you can't see anything else, so you can only eat these things all the time. Of course, it's unpalatable."

He walked back step by step, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

The giant stared at Wu Xiaode, his eyes filled with disgust, but he couldn't help but say:

"Sour flesh and blood, what do you want to say?"

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath.

will die.

This thought came up from the depths of his heart and was immediately restrained by him.

There is no need to worry about life and death.

If everyone who enters this sealed cave is extraordinary—

The masked man has a sword, the old man has a staff, and he... has a book of the dead that no one else can see!

If the commission in this book is true—

Take a gamble.

No matter how illusory his hopes are, he must take a gamble!

Wu Xiaode went straight to the little girl and opened a corpse.

——This is the corpse of the only cook among the many guards around her.

Wu Xiaode opened the utensils box pressed by the corpse, rummaged through it, and soon found some bottles and jars.

"Look, we have vinegar, soy sauce, and mashed garlic."

"Actually, that's enough, but luckily, we still have chili and cumin powder."

Wu Xiaode began to apply various seasonings to himself.

The little girl froze.

The giant froze.

A few breaths passed.

The giant's single eye became more and more round, and his nose opened and twitched from time to time, as if he was trying hard to smell the unique flavor that Wu Xiaode exudes.

Its raised hand slowly stopped.

At this time, Wu Xiaode had already given his all, and said loudly:

"I am alive, and it must taste better than a corpse."

"I'm fat and thin, unlike her, skinny and skinny, not tasty at all."

"The most important thing is that I am very good at the ratio of this dip."

Wu Xiaode estimated the size of his body and smeared various condiments all over his body until he reached the ideal level in his heart.

He has confidence in himself.

——After all, every time they eat hot pot, everyone likes to let themselves help with the dipping sauce.

The ex-girlfriend has always been reluctant to part with her.

It wasn't until she specifically asked herself for the ratio of dipping sauces that she ruthlessly dumped herself.

That is to say—

As for the dipping sauce, you can do it yourself! !

Wu Xiaode put those bottles on the ground, raised his head to meet the giant's one eye, and said loudly:

"I should be the most delicious person you have ever seen in your life, I don't think you can deny it."

His voice spread far and wide in the silent cave.

The murderous aura on the giant has long since dissipated.

It looked down at Wu Xiaode, who was covered in condiments, and was a little surprised for a while.

Beside Wu Xiaode, the little girl's eyes were bigger than bull's eyes, and her mouth was even more open, unable to close at all.

What is this man doing!

He's crazy?

I'm really pitiful. When I was about to die, I thought of saving such a lunatic and hoped that he would survive.

Thinking of this, the little girl's expression became sad again.

But Wu Xiaode couldn't care about so much.

With his arms outstretched, his chest outstretched, he shouted loudly in the eyes of the giant:

"Come on, try the taste!"

The giant was a little moved.

The killing intent in its single eye completely dissipated, hesitating for a few breaths, gently reaching out, and carefully grabbing Wu Xiaode—

Looking at its appearance, it seems that he is afraid of hurting Wu Xiaode, so that the fresh flesh and blood will become a corpse, destroying the freshness and flavor of the whole ingredients.

The giant palm grasped Wu Xiaode with extremely gentle strength, slowly raised it, put it in front of his nose and sniffed lightly.

"How?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The giant said in a serious tone: "This is the wonderful taste I have never tasted."

"Actually, there are several other better flavors. I can teach you how to season it. Do you want to learn?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Also?" The giant's one eye lit up.

"Yes, let me tell you—" Wu Xiaode grabbed its two giant fingers, tried to get up, leaned forward, and leaned on the giant's nose.

Then-

Snapped!

A slap like an explosion suddenly sounded in the quiet magic cave.

The Cyclops was stunned.

It ripped Wu Xiaode off his face and asked in a loud voice, "You just...were..."

"Fan you." Wu Xiaode said.

Covered with sauce, he rubbed his palms and grinned, "No one can hit you? Big trash, what was that noise just now?"

There was dead silence all around.

The little girl didn't know what to say anymore, so she covered her mouth with her hands.

The Cyclops was full of murderous intent, the vertical pupil on its head slowly shrank, and bursts of scarlet light began to appear.

But Wu Xiaode has put his life and death aside, and said with a gentle expression: "Next time you introduce yourself to others, don't be so arrogant, remember to tell them how you were fanned by others."

As soon as the voice fell, a sudden change occurred!

An illusory lamp suddenly appeared in the void.

The moment the light appeared, there was a loud "bang" sound, and then it quickly turned into several blazing stars.

one two three four five six seven eight nine.

Nine dazzling stars surround the book of the dead, neatly arranged in a circle in the void, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

Wu Xiaode was startled.

What kind of magic is this, is it used by giants to kill themselves?

No, this looks more like his book of the dead inspired something.

Just as he was thinking, he saw that the starlight quickly scattered into countless spots of light and disappeared into the Book of the Dead.

On the inner page of the book, lines of small characters exuding an icy aura were madly refreshed:

"Congratulations!"

"You have completed the commission: the lamb to be slaughtered."

"You saved the little girl temporarily."

"You slapped the Cyclops and ridiculed it by the way."

"This is something that has never happened since ancient times, and you did it with the humble body of an ant."

"All the undead wandering in this demon cave are all looking up to you, UU reading www.uukanshu.com cheers for you."

"You have won the praise of the undead, level: nine stars."

"This is the highest rating."

"Many heroic spirits surround the little girl's guardian spirit, Qi Qi decided to take a gamble on you."

"This book has resonated with all heroic spirits, and gained enough power from them to temporarily escape your current mortal situation."

"You will return to your own world and try your best to improve your strength in seven days."

"After seven days, you will come back here again, this is an inescapable fate!"

"Preparing to transmit—"

Free from death?

Even if it's only for seven days, it's still good news.

But is this true?

Wu Xiaode couldn't believe it, so he couldn't help looking up at the giant.

I saw the giant staring at Wu Xiaode, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, saliva flowing down the corners of his mouth.

It murmured:

"I was wrong just now. You dare to struggle like this when you are dying, and there is still an inexplicable fluctuation of power on your body—"

"You should be the top ingredient!"

The giant opened his mouth and stuffed Wu Xiaode inside.

Those sharp fangs fell with strong wind pressure, but stopped a few centimeters away from Wu Xiaode's forehead.

- The teleportation has begun!

On the Book of the Dead, lines of ice crystal small characters are madly refreshed:

"The energy conversion is complete."

"Everything is ready."

"Characters are about to be stripped from the present moment and return to the world to which they belonged."

"Return!"

Swish—

Wu Xiaode turned into a ball of light and shadow, instantly breaking through the void, and he did not know where to go.
