Chapter 881: Chapter 881

Uncomfortable, distended, panic-stricken!

Steam started to billow from Lin Baici’s body again, but this time it was just water vapor, not the red mist of before.

Soon, a misty steam spread for over ten meters around Lin Baici, like the fog on an early winter morning.

Lin Baici was thirsty!

He had planned to take a bottle of mineral water from his WWII medal to drink, but then he thought, if he could even digest a Divine Being, why fear the water from this restaurant?

So he picked up the lemon water from the table beside him and guzzled it down!

After finishing a liter of water in one go, Lin Baici wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

If only it were an ice-cold cola, delicious.

And when will I be able to finish eating?

Lin Baici had a belly full of questions, but the Eater God clearly had no intention of answering them.

Suddenly, his stomach churned tumultuously, a violent urge to vomit assaulting Lin Baici’s nerves.

Lin Baici instinctively bent over, dry-heaving a couple of times, then quickly covered his mouth.

This is a Divine Being,

Shouldn’t be thrown up, right?

Lin Baici’s reasoning was correct.

Che Zhengshuo, seeing that it could not contaminate Lin Baici’s DNA and take over this body, immediately started to flee, acting quite decisively.

This was the Busan Divine Ruins. As long as it survived, there would still be a chance.

Lin Baici held his mouth with both hands, swallowing forcefully.

"What the hell are you?"

"Why can’t my Life Essence contaminate you, but instead is being devoured by your cells?"

Che Zhengshuo was utterly panicked. At first, it only felt that Lin Baici’s body was good and the contamination slow, but it soon realized something was amiss; its Life Essence was diminishing.

It was being ’eaten’!

This realization almost scared Che Zhengshuo to death.

It was decisive and rational. Realizing the contamination process was too slow, and knowing it would be consumed before it could successfully transform Lin Baici, it attempted to escape, but there was no longer a chance.

Lin Baici standing up to Che Zhengshuo didn’t stand a chance under normal circumstances, unless he could get Che Zhengshuo into his stomach and use the Eater God to digest it.

And Che Zhengshuo, like a rabbit waiting for the trap to spring, collided with him on its own accord.

It must not have done a single good deed in its last ten lifetimes!

Lin Baici’s belly ballooned up, like an inflated beach ball. Che Zhengshuo’s remaining Life Essence was all concentrated together, attempting to burst out of the belly, but Lin Baici’s body’s resilience was far beyond its expectations.

Che Zhengshuo had wanted Lin Baici because of his superior body. Now, it had become the prison Che Zhengshuo could not escape.

If Che Zhengshuo had a mouth now, it would surely emit a cry of despair.

In the restaurant, the heat steamed up.

Xia Qila lay on the ground, unconscious, while the corner where Li Shangzhen, or rather the Dead Flesh Man, was located, was filled with an innate fear.

It trembled in fear, shaking for several minutes, and as the steam obscured its vision, it finally took the chance to flee.

The other Dead Flesh Men did the same, as if sensing the awakening of some terrifying presence!

In Lin Baici’s body, waves of heat surged, Che Zhengshuo struggled in its final throes. All of its Life Essence, turned into God’s Ability, strengthened Che Zhengshuo’s consciousness, driving it towards Lin Baici’s brain.

An excruciating pain hit, like being crushed under the treads of a tank or pierced by steel needles, so intense that Lin Baici lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

In the restaurant, the aroma of steak, cheese, and the stench of dead, blood-drenched flesh mingled together.

Lin Baici opened his eyes and immediately went on full alert, swiftly scanning his surroundings.

Everything was normal.

He looked down quickly at his wristwatch.

He had been unconscious for five minutes.

Fortunately, not too long!

With sword in hand, Lin Baici hurriedly checked his body.

No wounds, his skin was delicate, white, shiny, and his muscles full of elasticity.

"No way, did I just molt?"

Lin Baici saw lots of flaky skin debris on his clothes, all dried up, crumbling to dust at a touch.

Like a snake, he had shed a layer of skin!

"Congratulations, your life form has evolved a significant step forward!"

Lin Baici could feel his body fill with strength, giving him boundless energy, and his hearing and sight had sharpened, allowing him to see farther and more clearly.

Human vision at best is 5.3, but now Lin Baici could see a fly hundreds of meters away with utmost clarity.

No hunger pangs, the hunger was gone, replaced instead by a sense of fullness!

The kind that made one feel overstuffed.

Lin Baici felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he didn’t want to eat anything for a month.

After taking several deep breaths, Lin Baici stood up, looked around, then put his hands together and bowed earnestly.

"Thank you for the Gift of Nature!"

In the past, when Lin Baici would say this after following the Eater God, it was mostly for fun, but now, he was truly grateful for this food that nature had given him.

After expressing his thanks, Lin Baici’s first glance was toward the corner, where he did not see the monster that was Li Shangzhen, nor were the other Dead Flesh Men present.

They must have taken the chance to run away!

Then he looked at Xia Qila.

What to do with this woman?

With Che Zhengshuo dead, this Great Shaman was now the most powerful person in Gwangju City. What if she decided to kill and loot?

No one could stop her!

Lin Baici frowned deeply, facing other issues.

"Eater God, Che Zhengshuo, or the Busan Divine Being must be dead by now, right? So these Divine Ruins, are they cleansed now?"

Lin Baici asked, "The dark fog shrouding this place, will it dissipate soon?"

With Che Zhengshuo dead, anyone who wanted to go back wouldn’t need a train ticket or be forced to take that train to Busan.

"With the death of the divine being, the dark fog will greatly dissipate, but it will not vanish, as there are still several pieces of God’s Bones within these ruins."

"It will split into several small areas!"

"However, this contaminated area will still be unsuitable for human habitation for decades."

Lin Baici nodded his head, then suddenly thought of a problem, if he cleansed the Busan Divine Ruins, the big shots of Sejong Zheng probably wouldn’t let him leave the country and return to the Nine States easily, right?

Forget it, don’t think about it now, first clean up the battlefield,

I consumed a divine being, yay,

This time I really hit the jackpot!

Li Shangzhen ran away,

Thank you for the Gift of Nature,

Thanks for the hospitality,
