A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

"So you have been hiding in this dungeon, constantly absorbing the energy of players and NPCs?" Sheng Zhiyu asked, "But are those NPCs also useful?"

Tengshe's eyes flashed: "You are actually the second batch of players. I have been relying on absorbing the souls of NPCs to recover to this state."

Absorb the soul of NPC?

Sheng Zhiyu's expression became solemn.

If these NPCs are just data, how can they have souls?

Could it be that all these NPCs were once living humans?

"Don't kill me, let's talk it over." Tengshe became anxious when he saw that Sheng Zhiyu was still holding it tightly.

Sheng Zhiyu looked at Gu Xingzhou: "Little Senior Brother, is this Teng Snake very noble?"

Gu Xingzhou nodded: "Indeed, but this one is seriously injured and has just formed a new body."

Sheng Zhiyu asked: "Then can it be contracted to Qi Heyi?"

Tengshe and Qi Heyi were both startled and spoke at the same time:

"I do not want it!"

Tengshe said angrily: "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. It's fine if you let me make a contract with you, after all, you are a good candidate. But I won't make a contract with this fool!"

Qi Heyi also said: "Senior sister, this Teng Snake looks so disgusting, I don't want to contract it!"

Teng Snake: “?”

Gu Xingzhou ignored them and just answered Sheng Zhiyu's question: "Sure, I can draw the contract formation, but I need their cooperation. After all, Teng Snake is an ancient noble bloodline, even if it is weak now, it cannot be forced."

"Qi Heyi, you are too weak now. With a Teng Snake Contract, you will be safer." Sheng Zhiyu said.

She already has the White Tiger, so it would be inconvenient for her to contract the Teng Snake.

Gu Xingzhou didn't want this thing either. After all, Sheng Zhiyu felt that he would have a better opportunity.

It would be better to give it to Qi Heyi, so that the benefits will not flow to outsiders.

Chi Yan also advised: "Brother Qi, Sister Zhiyu is also thinking about you. We are already behind schedule. Although the contract with this snake is a bit disgusting, you just don't have to look at it.

Besides, this guy can evolve. When he turns into a dragon, he shouldn’t be so ugly anymore.”

Teng She: "..."

Being repeatedly criticized for being ugly and disgusting, Teng She lost his defense: "What do you mean? I haven't agreed yet!"

Sheng Zhiyu pulled Teng Snake and spoke a few words to it quietly.

Tengshe's eyes widened: "Is that true?"

Sheng Zhiyu nodded: "Otherwise, look at his stupid appearance, do you think he can survive until now?"

Tengshe was silent: "Okay, then I am willing to contract him."

Qi Heyi was very afraid of snakes, even the ancient Teng Snake. But when Sheng Zhiyu glared at him, he still shut his mouth.

Gu Xingzhou drew a formation, one end of which was connected to Qi Heyi and the other end was connected to Teng Snake.

He threw a knife to Qi Heyi: "Cut your wrist and drip the blood on the formation."

Qi Heyi did so reluctantly.

There was no need to exert any effort on the Teng Snake's side, Sheng Zhiyu simply cut a knife on its tail.

Tengshe roared in pain and said to Qi Heyi: "This woman is too violent. You can't marry her in the future."

Qi Heyi was unhappy: "Bah, don't curse me, if I can't marry my senior sister, it will be all your fault."

Tengshe was completely desperate when he saw Qi Heyi's useless appearance.

Soon, the contract was concluded. Teng Snake turned into a ray of light and disappeared into Qi Heyi's body, while a black snake tattoo appeared on the right side of Qi Heyi's neck.

"How is it?" Sheng Zhiyu asked.

Qi Heyi said: "This thing is in my Dantian now, but I still feel a little disgusted. I won't let it out unless necessary in the future."

Sheng Zhiyu nodded: "You must practice well, so that Teng Snake will become stronger and stronger."

"Sister Zhiyu, what should we do now?" Chi Yan asked.

He asked Sheng Zhiyu out of habit. Although Gu Xingzhou was also very capable, he still felt that Sheng Zhiyu had better ways.

Sheng Zhiyu said: "Go to the mountain and dig up the body."

"Here it comes again." Qi Heyi's eyes went dark.

Several people went up the mountain again. The bush snakes they encountered last time had all withered. They must have suffered backlash when Sheng Zhiyu severely injured Teng Snake.

When they arrived at the Flower God Temple, Sheng Zhiyu said to Qi Heyi, "You are a physical practitioner, go and dig out all the bodies."

Qi Heyi was horrified: "I don't want it!"

Chi Yan said: "Brother Qi, don't be afraid, I will dig with you."

Qi Heyi had no choice but to walk to a flowerpot reluctantly.

"Be more respectful and be careful of those ghosts haunting you." Sheng Zhiyu reminded.

Qi Heyi dug in the flowerpot for a long time and finally dug out a rotten corpse.

But he had become somewhat immune to it, and he carried out the body with an expressionless face.

After the two of them worked hard, all the bodies were soon moved out and placed on the ground.

"What should we do now?" Qi Heyi was a physical practitioner and didn't feel very tired.

Sheng Zhiyu said: "Recite the sutras. Only when the soul is at peace can it be reincarnated. This little brother is a professional."

Gu Xingzhou paused: "No, I still can't feel the soul."

Sheng Zhiyu was also a little surprised: "Logically speaking, it should be OK. Could it be..."

She looked at the corpses and found that each one had been disemboweled, with the flowers in the uterus flowing up along the internal organs and emerging from the top of the head.

Do I have to destroy the flowers?

Sheng Zhiyu walked over and tried to pinch off the flowers on the head of a female corpse.

Gu Xingzhou immediately sensed: "There is a soul, I have just saved her."

Sheng Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let Qi Heyi and Brother Chi Yan come and help pick all these flowers. Junior Brother will be responsible for the salvation."

This time it went very smoothly, and Gu Xingzhou quickly saved all the souls.

At the same time, a prompt sound came from the system, indicating that the game was completed, and everything around was fading and dissipating.

Then I entered the next level of selection:

Dear player, your fixed teammate is Gu Xingzhou. Next, you can choose a group of temporary teammates:

1. Song Qiran + Lu Xingjue

2. Ruan Lu + Xiang Junyao

Sheng Zhiyu habitually glanced at the completed copy:

Group number of clearances

1. Sheng Zhiyu + Gu Xingzhou 6

2. Qin Tian + Chu Muyan 5

3. Song Qiran + Lu Xingjue 4

4. Ruan Lu + Xiang Junyao 3

5. Ling Xiao + Leng Ziye 2

6. Red Flame + Qi Heyi 2

She was a little hesitant at first because both sides were acquaintances.

But thinking of Gu Xingzhou's attitude towards Song Qiran, she still felt that she should keep a certain distance from Song Qiran in front of Gu Xingzhou.

After choosing option 2, she waited for the system to transmit.

The system quickly sent a prompt:

"Players Ruan Lu and Xiang Junyao have agreed to your application to form a team.

Since your temporary teammate has drawn the European and French Continental Dungeon 3: Bloody Paradise, you will be teleported to that dungeon.

Your teammates are as follows:

Fixed teammate: Gu Xingzhou

Temporary teammates: Ruan Lu, Xiang Junyao

Players please clear the level as soon as possible. "
