The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!

"Doctor, I can see you're still in pretty good shape."

Liu Zheng remarked teasingly as he looked at Doctor Nile, who was without clothes.

"Jealous? If you want, I can make you look like this too. Of course, it doesn't come with a lifetime guarantee."

Doctor Nile replied coldly.

"Then forget it. I think being a bit chubby is nice, more energy storage."

"Hmph, slick talker."

Doctor Nile rolled his eyes at him and took a deep breath.

The ashes all automatically adhered to his body, turning into a 'suit' like body paint.

"Wow, now that black Cleopatra really looks like she's in a documentary."

Looking at the dark-skinned Doctor Nile, Liu Zheng couldn't help but jab at Cleopatra.

"What black Cleopatra?"

"Nothing. Doctor, don't you have any spare bandages?"

He changed the subject.

"Do you think those are ordinary bandages? They need to be soaked and cured in hundreds of materials, inscribed with spells, dried under the Sun God's power, and then undergo a series of processes to finish."

"Just one meter of bandage takes nearly a year to make. When treating people usually, I use up nearly all the new bandages I've made, so there's no time to stockpile more."

"No, it's not just bandages; they're called burial wraps, you uneducated kid."

Doctor Nile said irritably.

"Even if there's no time, you've got to make time. You can't keep doing performance art like this. Once we're back, I'll go to the Spider Clan and get you some fine fabric, and you can make a new set."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"We'll discuss it once back. And this Ashen Battle Armor isn't without its merits."

The ashes imbued with the Power of Yang Flame, although not as multifunctional as the bandages, can enhance many of Doctor Nile's spells. Although defense power is reduced, attack power is enhanced instead.

"By the way, what exactly happened to you just now?"

He asked.

"I don't know."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"I just asked if you guys smelled anything, and then my consciousness kept sinking. As I sunk, I kept hearing a voice, but every time it spoke, it felt like a hammer smashing my head, clanging, so I couldn't make out what it said."

"Later, the voice seemed to get anxious and tried to drag me down. Of course, I couldn't let that happen, so I started wrestling with it."

"As we wrestled, a fire started burning, and the more it burned, the quieter the voice became, until there was no sound and I woke up."

He shrugged.

"It seems there's definitely something wrong with this mountain. Let's not stay; get down the mountain quickly."

Doctor Nile said.

"That's what I was thinking. Lao Si, head down the mountain at full speed."

Liu Zheng commanded.

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

Lao Si started the vehicle.

But while they wanted to leave, the mountain wanted them to stay.

All the petal tendrils detached and formed long dragons, all converging towards the mountain top.

They looked beautiful and dreamlike, but each petal traveled faster than a bullet.

The armored vehicle had just moved over a hundred meters before being blocked by the petal swarm.

"If I release a spell, will it break your protective array?"

Doctor Nile asked as he looked at the flower swarm.

"Of course it will. An external attack might be blocked, but from inside, it's fragile like glass."

Panda answered without hesitation.

"This is trouble."

Doctor Nile frowned.

He didn't have the ability like the Snow Horse to attack from afar; all his ranged attacks needed to launch from his surroundings and would inevitably pass through the protective array.

Previously, we would've just risked the threat of infertility.

But now knowing the fragrance can control the mind, the protective array's existence is essential.

"I'll go out to deal with them; you all stay in the vehicle."

Doctor Nile ordered.

"No need, Doctor. It's time for them to handle such dirty work."

Liu Zheng shook his head and tapped the chassis with the Slaughter Knife.

"Hey, time to work."

The shadow under the vehicle moved like a fish, swimming into the cabin, where Yasksha and several witches rose from it.

"Our clan is already scarce in numbers, and so many died this time. I can't let my sisters risk losing their fertility."

Yaksha was unwilling to fight.

"Wasn't it your fault so many died by not following orders? I already said to follow commands, and you still tried to slack off. Be thankful I didn't use the horse's blade to kill you all."

Liu Zheng replied bluntly.

"As for being few in numbers, that's no excuse. I'll get you a potion to boost fertility, so you can have eight at a time."

He dismissed Yaksha's excuses one by one.

"No way. If such a potion existed, we would've found it long ago."

Yaksha didn't believe him.

"Then you're just incompetent, I suppose. Have you heard of the Nine Revolutions Joyful Pill? Not just you Dark Elves, even the Dragon Clan can multiply rapidly after taking it. I sold one just a few days ago."

"By the way, Ah Bao, can you craft the Nine Revolutions Joyful Pill?"

Liu Zheng asked the panda while patting it.

"Nope. Our Mixed Pill Sect specializes in inner cores, not elixirs. Plus, we're a bona fide Mystical Sect, not making those obviously shady elixirs."

Panda replied with distaste.

"Could it be that you're just not skilled enough?"

He gave him a sideways glance.

"Nonsense! I'm a once-in-five-centuries genius of the Mixed Pill Sect, started cultivating at three, training at ten, foundation building at twenty, and core formation at fifty. How could I be lacking in skill?"

Panda burst out in anger.

"Is that speed considered fast?"

Liu Zheng looked at everyone.

"No idea."

Everyone shook their heads.
