Chapter 353 The first battle ends
The scenes on the battlefield all appeared clearly in front of the Locust God at this moment, especially when he saw one of his clones being killed, and the one wearing golden armor wandering away.

The Locust God’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Then, without paying any attention to Xiao Ran and Wu Man, his body turned into a gust of yellow wind, sweeping up the half-dead yellow tide on the ground and left.

“Leaving now?”

Xiao Ran looked at Huang Feng who was flying away quickly and asked with a pouty look on his face.

“If he doesn’t leave, we’ll be in trouble.”

Wu Man turned around and looked at Xiao Ran, stuffed all the marshmallows in her hand into her mouth, licked her lips and looked at the marshmallows in Xiao Ran’s hand, “Don’t you want to try it?”

Hearing this, Xiao Ran looked at the marshmallow in his hand, hesitated for a few seconds, and threw the marshmallow into the space: “I don’t want to eat sweet food right now.”

Then he asked, “You mean, you were bluffing him just now?”

“Almost. I’m just a cook. You can’t expect me to fight a god, even if it’s just a low-level locust god.”

Wu Man spread his hands, looking helpless.

Xiao Ran couldn’t tell whether Wu Man’s words were true or false for a moment. He always felt that this guy’s strength was probably far more than what he had just shown.

This guy is not affected by the curse of the Locust God at all and can use the cursed items freely. This alone is enough to prove that even if he can’t fight the Locust God head-on, it would be very easy for him to escape from the Locust God’s hands unscathed.

But now is not the time for Xiao Ran to worry about these things. Even if Huang Chao doesn’t die this time, he will have to lie down for a long time. Outside… it should be Brother Lu who has arrived.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran didn’t care about anything else and rushed into the cave.

“The yellow disaster has retreated, my wife…”

“what!!”

Xiao Ran looked up and found that Shuang Fei in the cave had disappeared.

“Don’t worry, she had already set off while you were still fighting outside.”

Gao Lan, who was standing by, heard Xiao Ran’s voice and explained to him.

In fact, Shuang Fei had already set off when Lu Cheng led his army to attack. Although Gao Lan couldn’t see it, he could feel that Shuang Fei’s mood seemed to have improved a lot when she was about to leave.

Gao Lan even heard Shuang Fei muttering three words under her breath when she left: “The one who will be robbed.”

Gao Lan took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Ran: “This is something that the senior left for you.”

Xiao Ran took it and opened the box, only to see a snow-white jade pendant inside. Xiao Ran held it in his hand and felt it was cold and prickly.

“You found the cursed item [Xue Linglong]. This cursed item is a consumable item and does not need to be activated!”

Special Cursed Item: [Xue Linglong]

Privilege 1: Frost

After activation, the surrounding area will reach absolute zero. Except for the holder, everyone will be frozen for a short time.

(Note: The stronger the target, the faster it will break free.)
Duration: 30 seconds

Privilege 2: Snow Seed

After activation, an area can be transformed into a snowy land.

(Note: This area cannot be used in extremely hot and water-scarce places. The more suitable the area is, the stronger the effect will be.)
“Senior Shuang said that he wished you two would live happily together forever. She was already destined to face the calamity, but this time she got her long-cherished wish.”

“Senior, you are thoughtful.”

Xiao Ran nodded and motioned Gao Lan to wait here for a while.

He is not clear about the situation outside now. There are still many Yellow Disaster Army soldiers killing people indiscriminately in the city. It is not the time to go out yet.

Then he walked out of the cave, and as soon as he walked out, he felt a cool breeze coming from the sky.

Looking up, white snowflakes were already floating in the sky.

It seems that Concubine Shuang has already taken action.

“You made a pretty good corpse. It looks like you got a good harvest this time.”

Wu Man pointed at the butcher in front of him, took out some bones of unknown origin from the space and threw them to the butcher.

The butcher seemed to be particularly fond of these bones. He opened his bloody mouth and his belly squirmed with a “crackling” sound, crushing the bones directly.

Now Wu Man seemed to like the butcher even more. She walked around the butcher several times with shining eyes.

“Okay, okay, this big guy is really not picky about food, eat more!!”

As he said this, he took out a few more bones and threw them in. The butcher accepted them all. His belly opened wide and he ate them all up in a few seconds, without even a trace left.

“How did you come?”

Xiao Ran walked up to Wu Man and asked.

“I was worried about you two, so I came here.”

Wu Man walked up to Xiao Ran and stared at him with greed in his eyes without any concealment.

It’s like a young Taoist priest who is extremely hungry and thirsty and finds a beautiful woman lying on the side of the road, unable to move.

Conflicted, hungry, desire, and reason, the complex look made Xiao Ran involuntarily take two steps back.

“You’re not going to take my eyes now, are you?”

Xiao Ran frowned, wondering if he had any chance of winning if he turned his back on his words.

But after thinking it over, Xiao Ran gave up the idea.

On the one hand, he had just promised Wu Man, and on the other hand, Xiao Ran didn’t think he could beat Wu Man.

At least not here.

Moreover, Wu Man had just helped him. In fact, if he just wanted his eyes, Wu Man could have waited for the locust god to kill him and then come to collect his body. But even so, Xiao Ran still wanted to fight for himself.

After Wu Man noticed the subtle changes on Xiao Ran’s face, he did not force her, but just asked: “Although your eyes have not yet reached the standard of my ingredients, I am happy to cultivate them slowly in other ways. If you have a bargaining chip that makes me more excited, I am happy to change another option.”

After saying that, Wu Man thought of something and added, “Oh, if it’s ghost money, forget it. I don’t lack that stuff. Setting up the stall is purely for my personal pleasure.”

“Ok.”

Xiao Ran frowned. In fact, he had quite a few bargaining chips in his hand. This was why he was willing to negotiate with Wu Man. After all, it was not easy to find such a strong, rich, and kitchen-friendly companion.

“Is dragon meat okay?”

Xiao Ran asked.

“Dragon meat? Is it a flying dragon?” Wu Man smiled and said, “I already had that when I was in the Northeast…”

Before he could finish his words, Wu Man suddenly turned around and stared at the piece of meat in Xiao Ran’s hand.

“What kind of meat is this?”

As a chef, especially a C-level desire chef, identifying ingredients is the most basic skill.

But Wu Man failed to recognize the origin of the meat. Instead, he was surprised by the unique texture of the meat and the rich power on it.

In Wu Man’s eyes, this piece of meat is no longer just a piece of meat, but a legendary ingredient that flashes with golden light.

“Dragon meat.”

Of course Wu Man didn’t believe what Xiao Ran said.

But when Xiao Ran handed the piece of meat to Wu Man, as the information about the quality of the meat appeared in front of Wu Man, Xiao Ran saw a woman’s face flushed.

Even his breathing became rapid, with wheezing sounds, making Xiao Ran feel like this guy was about to have a seizure, so he quickly took two steps back.

“Perfect, perfect!!”

Wu Man held the piece of meat in his hands, the smile on his face becoming more and more morbid. He ran his fingers over the texture of the meat with an intoxicated look on his face, which made people’s scalps tingle.

Xiao Ran understood Wu Man’s expression at the moment very well. He also had the same emotion when he was sewing up the corpse.

It’s just that he is far from being as pathological as Wu Man.

“Where did it come from?”

Wu Man looked up at Xiao Ran.

Such legendary ingredients have reached S-level or even higher standards, at least three levels higher than Wu Man’s C-level Desire Chef. Only then will his Food Identification Eyes emit a legendary golden luster.

Regardless of whether this thing is the meat of a real dragon, even if it is not dragon meat, it is not that bad.

Based on this point alone, Wu Man didn’t believe that Xiao Ran had a chance to get it.

“I said, can you give me my eyes back?”

“Say it!”

“Pick it up.”

“Picked it up?”

“Yes, if I had the ability to slay a dragon, would I still need you to help me?”

The corners of Wu Man’s mouth twitched a few times, and he wished he could go up and strangle Xiao Ran, that bastard, to death. Isn’t this just nonsense?

Seeing Wu Man getting more and more agitated, Xiao Ran had no choice but to explain: “This is a long story, and I can’t explain it to you clearly for a while. I’ll explain it to you later.”

Hearing Xiao Ran say this, Wu Man slowly calmed down his emotions, stared at the dragon meat in his hand with complicated eyes, and then looked into Xiao Ran’s eyes.

Perhaps the thing I regret most is that I didn’t take up the job of a robber part-time.

“Okay, let’s wait until we’re settled.”

Wu Man was helpless and could only agree to Xiao Ran. Then she happily began to study how to cook this precious dragon meat.

“Butcher!”

Xiao Ran shouted, and then summoned several corpse slaves hiding around.

“Go and clean up the surroundings. Kill anyone wearing yellow clothes and holding a knife.”

As Xiao Ran’s order was given, Qianbingwei and several other corpse slaves immediately began to act.

The sound of hacking and killing began to be heard inside and outside the Gao family. Even though they had been defeated, the fighting power of the Huang Zai army was still extremely strong.

However, facing corpse slaves like Senbei, or even creatures of the Butcher’s level, this small-scale Yellow Disaster Army can only be slaughtered unilaterally.

Wu Man looked at Xiao Ran’s corpse slaves who were taking action and praised Xiao Ran.

“It seems that you have become a mature beginner. If you make further progress, I will call you a professional from now on.”

Although he had the [Beginner’s Manual] distributed by the Changchun Association as a reference, Wu Man did not quite agree with its contents.

As mentioned above, cursed objects are the most important props for all beginners to demonstrate their abilities.

In most battles between beginners of the same level, the outcome is determined by the strength of the cursed object.

But in Wu Man’s opinion, this statement only applies to novices.

As long as you study it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the ability of the profession is actually greater than the curse. Although the curse is very important, if you rely too much on it, the probability of death will increase rapidly.

After all, the abilities of cursed creatures are limited, and are far less powerful and practical than one’s own professional abilities.

Therefore, for beginners in the same profession, what really determines the outcome is often who can develop their profession to a new level and who can dominate the outcome.

Those corpse slaves are not uncommon, but the fact that Xiao Ran could create a corpse slave like the Butcher shows that he has found a way of his own.
