I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 29: Strange

After settling Lu Lixi and Lu Dagen, Song Fulu's life became peaceful again, except that he worked even harder in his cultivation than before.

Everything he saw in the western district of the city made Song Fulu realize once again the state of the world he was in. Without enough strength, he couldn't even protect those around him, let alone himself.

Song Fulu specifically asked Lu Lixi and Lu Dagen about the situation in the western district. He was shocked to learn that in just over a year, tens of thousands of common people had died in the western district.

The battles between the Crimson Tiger Gang and the Passing River Association had caused great casualties in the western and northern districts of the city. The number of formal members who died from the two major factions alone reached thousands, not to mention the affiliated forces and innocent civilians.

The situation in Passing River City was even worse than what Song Fulu had previously known. As a formal member of the Crimson Tiger Gang and a third master of the Pharmacist Department, he was definitely on the Passing River Association's blacklist.

If the Crimson Tiger Gang were to win, it would be fine, but if the Crimson Tiger Gang were to fail, the Passing River Association would not spare him.

For the sake of his own safety and for the sake of the villagers of Stone Bull Village, especially his original foster father, Song Fulu had to devote himself to cultivation.

Before long, the Pharmacist Department also encountered trouble.

One night, just after Song Fulu had fallen asleep, he was awakened by the sound of commotion and screams.

His face changed slightly, and Song Fulu quickly put on his clothes, grabbed all his equipment, and rushed towards the source of the commotion and screams.

The commotion and screams were only a few hundred meters away from Song Fulu's courtyard, located in the middle of the Pharmacist Department. Song Fulu arrived quickly.

What came into view were burning flames and a fierce battlefield. Several experts from the Pharmacist Department, led by Ma Qingshan, were besieging a female ghost with an extremely long neck.

The strength of the female ghost had reached the Intermediate Lesser Demon layer, comparable to a Martial Artist at the fourth layer of the Interior Refinement stage. With the help of spiritual illusions, even a Martial Artist at the Earth Gate Realm would be caught off guard.

Ma Qingshan and the others were able to withstand the crazed female ghost only because they had more people and the assistance of various pills.

Even so, dozens of pharmacists and apprentices had died around them, many of whom were familiar faces.

Fortunately, Lu Lixi and Lu Dagen were living outside and not in the Pharmacist Department. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"This is no ordinary female ghost. It clearly looks like a strange creature, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to kill."

"We need to find its anchor. Only by finding the anchor can we kill this kind of strange creature."

"It must be the work of the Passing River Association. Everyone, be careful."

...

Hearing the shouts of Ma Qingshan and the others, Song Fulu carefully observed and discovered that the broken parts of the female ghost were rapidly regenerating at a terrifying speed.

If it were a ghost, it would be impossible to have such regenerative power. This was clearly a strange creature.

Especially when this female ghost was shattered and quickly restored to its original state, it was undoubtedly confirmed to be a strange creature. Only strange creatures could do this.

As a strange creature, most of them had an anchor, which was their core. As long as the anchor was not destroyed, these strange creatures could resurrect indefinitely, which was even more eerie and terrifying than monsters.

Monsters had amazing regenerative power, but if they were shattered, they would still die. However, strange creatures were different. As long as the anchor was not destroyed, they could survive even if they were crushed to pieces.

A mid-level lesser creature that could easily contend against a Martial Artist at the Earth Gate Realm, Song Fulu wondered how the Passing River Association managed to bring the anchor of a mid-level lesser creature into the Crimson Tiger Gang's headquarters, causing such heavy casualties to the Pharmacist Department.

Thinking of this, Song Fulu turned around and prepared to find a safe place to hide.

With his current visible strength, he was only at the fourth layer of the Exterior Forging stage, one layer higher than before. He was simply no match for the elites of the Passing River Association. Whether for the sake of safety or to conceal himself, the best course of action was to hide.

Just as Song Fulu was about to reach his courtyard, he saw a large group of disciples from the Passing River Association rushing in from outside, led by Chen Zhan, the head of the Mange River Hall of the Passing River Association.

"Kill everyone in the Pharmacist Department, leave no one alive!"

"To avenge Gao Xiangzhu, kill Ma Qingshan."

"These pharmacists are weak like chickens, it's satisfying to kill them."

...

Looking into the distance, besides here, there are also experts from the Passing River Association killing their way in other places. Song Fulu couldn't help but take a cold breath. He didn't expect the fierce battle between the Crimson Tiger Gang and the Passing River Association to reach such a level, even their headquarters has become the target of the Passing River Association.

Now there's no way to escape, only to find a way to resist reasonably.

Song Fulu revealed his strength of Exterior Forging Four Layers, rushed into the small courtyard where he lived, and activated the poison net inside. Soon, various strange smells filled the hundreds of square meters of the courtyard.

"There's a pharmacist over there, go kill him."

"Someone who has the qualifications to live in such a big courtyard is definitely not an ordinary person in the Pharmacist Department. We're going to make a fortune."

"Kill, rob, burn everything. It's not easy to come across such a good deal to deal with the Pharmacist Department, we can't miss it."

...

Several elite Interior Refinement experts from the Passing River Association rushed towards Song Fulu's courtyard. They had already taken the antidote in advance, which could neutralize various common poisons used by the Crimson Tiger Gang. However, the poison used by Song Fulu was not limited to the common poisons used by the Crimson Tiger Gang.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Before they even reached Song Fulu's bedroom, several Interior Refinement Martial Artists fell one after another.

"Not good, it's poison!"

"Why isn't the antidote working? What kind of poison is he using?"

"Mortal Level top-grade poison, it must be Mortal Level top-grade poison."

...

Seeing several Interior Refinement Martial Artists from the Passing River Association being poisoned, Song Fulu picked up a machete, rushed over, and dealt with these elite Interior Refinement experts from the Passing River Association, then hid in the room.

"There's a tough guy over there, he has already killed several of our brothers."

"Just a pharmacist, a few of us can take care of him."

"Cover your nose and mouth, rush over and kill him in one breath."

...

Several more elite members of the Passing River Association rushed over, blocking their breath and crazily charging towards Song Fulu's bedroom.

"Boom..."

The bedroom was blasted open, and several elite members of the Passing River Association fiercely pounced, but they didn't see Song Fulu's figure, only several bottles of Wubu Pills on the desk.

"That guy must have run to another room, he didn't even have time to take the Wubu Pills."

"Let's divide the Wubu Pills first, then go kill him."

...

Several people communicated with their eyes, each taking a bottle of Wubu Pills, preparing to search for Song Fulu in another room, but suddenly felt dizzy and fell down.

"Sss..."

Only then did Song Fulu rush in from the adjacent room, swiftly ending the lives of several elite members of the Passing River Association. He only used the strength of Exterior Forging Four Layers, without going beyond a hair's breadth.
