Chapter 893 has been contaminated?
"..." Yu Shijiu's hand stopped in mid-air. He actually obeyed and didn't immediately pick up the bones covered in blood and mud. Instead, he talked to Xiao Li in his mind.
Why did it die? I simply picked it up to see what kind of bones they were.
Xiao Li: [Could you please wear gloves?!]
Yu Shijiu: [Okay, but I don't have gloves.]
Xiao Li: [...Should we buy one now?]
Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu hesitated for a few seconds, quickly browsed through the system shop, and then selected a pair of gloves worth 5 points.
When a box of 50 disposable gloves appeared in Yu Shijiu's hands, Xiao Li, who was about to say "You finally listened to my advice," suddenly stopped.
It looked through Yu Shijiu's eyes at the box of disposable gloves, and its entire body began to glow red.
The next second, a piercing scream from a little girl rang in Yu Shijiu's mind, startling him as he pulled his gloves away.
【What's wrong? 】
Yu Shijiu frowned in confusion.
Why is Xiao Li so easily startled? She wasn't like this before—
How dare you ask what happened?!
Xiao Li screamed; if it had a body, it might have already jumped up and slapped Yu Shijiu a few times.
【I told you to buy gloves with protective properties, gloves that provide insulation!!! Why did you buy these worthless five-point disposable gloves? To peel crayfish?!】
"..." Yu Shijiu blinked slowly.
He said, "I think it's enough."
Not enough! This thing is completely useless!
This was Xiao Li's angry roar.
Yu Shijiu: [It's okay, it'll be fine as long as it keeps dirt out.]
Xiao Li: [...]
Xiao Li was so angry that her entire body (if it had one) was trembling, and she said in a trembling voice, "I really am, I really am superfluous, superfluous to meddle in your business!"
Yu Shijiu exclaimed, "[Don't be angry, don't be angry. I did look at them carefully just now, but those gloves with protective and isolation properties are really too expensive, especially the disposable kind. It's not cost-effective.]"
【You already have so many points, isn't that enough?】
"It's different," Yu Shijiu replied to Xiao Li while putting on gloves, "Anyway, if there really was pollution, I guess it's already contaminated."
Xiao Li's voice abruptly stopped.
After a long while, just as Yu Shijiu had put on his gloves and squatted down to continue touching the bones, Xiao Li's voice rang out again.
What did you just say?
Wearing disposable gloves, Yu Shijiu didn't even look up as she replied: "It's already contaminated."
Xiao Li was terrified: "When? How come I didn't know?"
That's impossible. Although it hasn't said much, it has been paying close attention to Yu Shijiu's every move since entering the game instance.
How could it not know that Yu Shijiu had been contaminated?
This is simply not possible.
Xiao Li felt that Yu Shijiu was trying to deceive her again, and said somewhat unhappily: 【Stop trying to deceive me, you're trying to lie to me again—】
Its voice abruptly stopped when it saw Yu Shijiu's actions.
Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu raised his head, his hands, which were gripping the bone and wearing disposable transparent gloves, were somewhat blurry in the candlelight.
I'm not lying to you.
The boy's deliberately soft voice sounded gentle in her mind, yet it made Xiao Li's non-existent "body" feel as if it were being soaked in a layer of cold ice water.
"Look at my hand," Yu Shijiu said with a smile, "doesn't the thing on it look a little familiar?"
Xiao Li's gaze passed through Yu Shijiu's eyes and landed on the hand holding the bone.
In the dim candlelight, Yu Shijiu's fair wrists were covered with dense, dark brown hairs with yellowish tips.
Xiao Li stopped talking.
It took it a long time to find its voice when Yu Shijiu lowered his head again to pick up the bone, and it muttered to itself in disbelief.
[Good heavens... It must be because you kept touching those paws. It shouldn't have gotten contaminated so quickly... No wonder, no wonder... No wonder, old field mouse...]
Yu Shijiu paused his hand that was stroking the surface of the bone, patiently waiting for Xiao Li to tell him more details.
Unfortunately, Xiao Li's voice trailed off.
Yu Shijiu frowned slightly, then casually continued Xiao Li's words: "No wonder the old field mouse said that? You can't leave people hanging, Xiao Li—"
[Get out of here!!!]
Xiao Li suddenly erupted in fury: [Who cares about you? Who cares about you? Who cares about you?! Pollute if you want! Die, you lunatic! We told you not to touch it, but you insisted! Whose fault is it?! You brought this pollution on yourself!!]
Yu Shijiu: "?"
Just as he was about to say something, a faint buzzing sound suddenly rang in his mind, and then Xiao Li's voice disappeared completely.
Yu Shijiu: "..."
He patiently called Xiao Li's name several more times in his mind, and this time Xiao Li really logged off... Oh, it seems she logged off because she was angry with him...
Why do you get angry so easily?
Yu Shijiu thought for a moment, then looked down at the black and yellow fur on his arm and wrist, and took out the broken claw that had stopped getting hot after entering the hidden cave.
The severed claw looked somewhat eerie in the candlelight, especially the broken part, with bone still attached to a bit of red fascia that hadn't been completely severed; it was quite frightening at first glance.
Yu Shijiu confirmed it when he saw that the color of the hair on his wrist was the same as the broken claw.
He was indeed infected with the "severed claw," but he's currently clear-headed. This thing probably just makes people grow hair... For now, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
Thinking that the long hair wasn't a big deal, Yu Shijiu put the broken claw back into his pocket and squatted down to look at the bones and bracelets again and again.
Should we take some of these things with us to show Anjie and the others?
Yu Shijiu hesitated.
Forget it, maybe I should take some back to show them...
Yu Shijiu quickly made up his mind, and as he reached for the bone and bracelet on the ground, his ears suddenly twitched.
The next second, he quickly retreated, squinting as a drop of liquid-like water fell from the sky and landed on one of the humanoid skeletons.
The water droplets made a "plop" sound, and the sticky red liquid clung to the humanoid skeleton, making it look somewhat horrifying.
"..."
Yu Shijiu's nose twitched, and in that instant he smelled an even stronger stench of decay.
What is it?
Yu Shijiu raised his eyes, lifted the candle in his left hand, and gripped the axe that had appeared in his right hand.
Whatever it is, if it can bleed, it means it can definitely be attacked.
Yu Shijiu's pupils suddenly widened.
The faint yellow light of the candle illuminated everything on the cave ceiling, where a single, blood-red, viscous, enormous, rotting chunk of flesh occupied every inch of the cave's "ceiling."
The surface of the flesh was covered with twisted, grotesque, crisscrossing blood vessels, and right in the center was a huge, blood-red cross-section of a severed neck...
