Bai Mo roughly understood his current situation in just one day.
There were many interesting things in what he saw and heard today, but he knew very well that his most important goal at the moment was still to regain his strength as soon as possible.
Ordinary forbidden creatures may be afraid of him for some special reasons, but this may not be the case for those creatures with self-awareness.
The rules of this world have long been redefined. The law of the jungle has always existed, but now it is more naked than before.
It's also more cruel.
It doesn’t matter whether monsters eat people, people eat monsters, or even people eat people——
It's all about driving evolution.
Bai Mo knows this better than anyone else, and it is precisely because of this that he needs to regain his strength as soon as possible, whether it is for what he will do next or to deal with some unknown changes.
Strength is indispensable.
But I have to say,
Temporarily losing strength is not entirely a bad thing, at least you don't have to worry about coordinates being exposed.
Bai Mo's backhand is mainly hidden in the east. If he is too active here, without a barrier, his breath may easily leak out and the coordinates will be exposed.
It was precisely for this reason that Mu hid in the restricted area again. Although she was in a dormant state now, there was still a risk of her aura leaking out.
However, what no one expected was that at the last moment, the vampire on the train to the afterlife would suddenly attack Bai Mo.
Moreover, the timing of his attack was perfect, as if he had gone through rigorous deduction exercises in advance. It happened to be at the moment when Bai Mo was about to get off the car and was relaxing, he struck fiercely and decisively.
At that time, Bai Mo had already been seriously injured, and even with Mu's healing, he could not recover quickly.
Both energy and physical strength have reached a low point,
The vampire used all his strength when he attacked. If Yang Xiaowan hadn't stopped him in time, Bai Mo's situation would have been very bad.
However, the train to the afterlife has been almost completely occupied by the vampire,
The power he can use should not be underestimated. Yang Xiaowankong has power but is not familiar with it.
So he could only try his best to take Bai Mo off the train, and finally escaped.
Yang Xiaowan, on the other hand, exhausted her strength in the process and reintegrated into the Life and Death Candle. She used her last strength to hold up a barrier, which did not disperse until not long ago. Bai Mo was discovered and taken in by Zhang Tao who was passing by.
Bai Mo looked at the Life and Death Candle in his arms for a long time, then silently put it away.
He didn't plan to wake Yang Xiaowan up so soon. He could just use this dormant time to integrate her body with Hei Haina's body and achieve a true resurrection from then on.
And he... can also get a real candle of life and death.
Bai Mo asked Zhang Tao and learned that although the restricted area has been showing an expansion trend in the past six months, there have been no other abnormal changes around the world.
This shows that his plan is likely to be successful. Hell and the palace are trying to contain each other, and even started a war. Therefore, they are unable to take action and notice some clues.
They still have time.
In Bai Mo's expectation, this expansion period will be a period of rapid growth for the safe zone. Although the process may be relatively cruel,
But the effect is absolutely remarkable, there is no doubt about it——
However he was disappointed.
When I realized that there are still ordinary people in this world,
He then realized that the world was still not growing fast enough.
Maybe he needs to take the initiative to promote this process.
Bai Mo already has a complete plan in his mind, which can achieve the two goals of his recovery and progress in parallel.
If nothing goes as expected, this may all start from tomorrow's market transaction.
…
At dawn the next day, Bai Mo opened his eyes and got up from the bed.
He wasn't sleepy at all. As soon as he opened the door, he saw brother and sister Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu who had also just gotten up. The three of them were stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you. They felt a little funny for no reason.
"Good morning, Brother Bai." Zhang Tao greeted him first, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I have slept long enough. My body will be rusty if I sleep any longer."
Bai Mo shook his head slightly, and then said, "Didn't there be a trade fair nearby today? I heard it was very interesting. I want to go and see it."
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Rouzhu with a strange expression, then turned to look at Bai Mo, and said with a smile: "It was Rouzhu who told you about the noon market, right? It's true, but she probably didn't talk to you at all."
Make it clear that the market will only open in the afternoon."
Bai Mo glanced at Zhang Rouzhu.
Sensing his gaze, the latter quickly turned her head. She did not make it clear to Bai Mo about the time. She did not expect that the other party would be so interested in the market and get up so early.
"It's okay, just afternoon. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Bai Mo looked at the two of them and asked, "By the way, what are you doing up so early? Are you making breakfast?"
Hearing this, Zhang Rouzhu's face suddenly turned red. He wanted to say something but couldn't, so he quickly tugged on Zhang Tao's sleeves.
Zhang Tao had nothing to be ashamed of and said bluntly: "It's really cooking. The plate of colorful dishes you made yesterday was so delicious. Rouzhu kept talking to me before going to bed last night.
Let me get up early today and say that I need to finish the remaining dishes."
At this point, he licked his lips and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I also thought the food yesterday afternoon was delicious. I heard that the main ingredient is actually a rare treasure that can strengthen the body - I agree.
From your point of view, instead of making so much money, it is better to use it to improve your own reality."
Bai Mo nodded and glanced at Zhang Rouzhu. Yesterday she was the one who thought the hand vines were poisonous and didn't want to eat them. Now she's the one who wants to eat them after eating them. No wonder this guy is so embarrassed...
"Did you feel anything after eating it?" he asked.
"No."
Zhang Tao shook his head hesitantly. In fact, he didn't notice the changes in his body at all. He could only hide the disappointment in his eyes with a wry smile, and said tentatively, "Maybe... it's not time yet?"
Zhang Rouzhu on the side also looked a little disappointed, apparently not feeling the physical strengthening effect of the hand vines.
Neither of them are extraordinary people, and they have only experienced the feeling of being injected with genetic medicine once. Their strength is at the lowest level, so they are actually looking forward to the feeling of getting stronger.
Because of this, they were full of expectations before falling asleep, but now that they couldn't notice any changes, it was naturally difficult to suppress their inner disappointment.
Bai Mo didn't explain the reason. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is the bottle of hand vine juice still there?"
Zhang Rouzhu was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "Yes."
After saying that, he took out a small bottle from the room and opened the stopper. There was a thick green juice inside, which made people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
"Take a sip."
"ah?"
Hearing this, before Zhang Rouzhu could speak, Zhang Tao's expression changed first, "Isn't this thing poisonous?"
He heard from his sister about the efficacy of hand vines.
"The poison won't kill anyone anyway."
Bai Mo looked at him with a half-smile.
Zhang Tao was a little hesitant. Although he knew that Bai Mo didn't like explanations and that the juice might really have special effects, he still didn't dare to let his sister try it.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Let me drink first."
"No, I'll drink."
Zhang Rouzhu stopped him from grabbing the bottle and raised the bottle to pour it into his mouth.
However, Bai Mo stopped her at this moment: "Wait, give me the bottle."
Zhang Rouzhu hesitated. Although he didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, he still handed the bottle to him.
"You can't drink too much of this stuff. I have to control the dosage and open your mouth."
Bai Mo looked into her eyes.
The latter hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, tilted his head upward, and then saw a pale and slender palm passing over his head, tilting the mouth of the bottle slightly.
Soon, a few drops of green juice flowed into her mouth. The taste was not bitter, almost like water, and completely different from the nausea she had imagined.
There was a brief silence.
"How about it?"
Zhang Tao looked at her nervously, fearing that something might happen to his sister.
Zhang Rouzhu felt it silently for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "Still... nothing special."
Her tone couldn't conceal her disappointment, and she turned around and pushed the door open to leave. Maybe becoming powerful really requires talent, and the same is true for edible treasures.
But in the next second.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the heavy wooden door instantly fell to the ground, dust was everywhere, and there was a clear handprint on the door handle.
Zhang Rouzhu stayed where he was, and raised his arm after a long while, looking at his white and tender palm with a dull look on his face.
"I am..."
She couldn't accept it. She actually pulled the door down?
Bai Mo's calm voice sounded: "The biggest function of the hand vine is to stimulate the strength of the arm, but it needs to be combined with poisonous juice to be effective. I ignored this yesterday."
Zhang Rouzhu thought for a while and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Yesterday afternoon, Bai Mo originally planned to cook the entire hand vine with its juice, but he squeezed out the venom after hearing him mention the market, saying that he could sell it at a good price.
"This is so amazing..." She was still immersed in shock and murmured in a low voice.
"The peculiarities of the rare treasures are far richer than you imagine, not to mention the more interesting taboo sequences. In comparison, the hand vines are already relatively boring."
After a pause, Bai Mo said, "The most important thing you need to do now is to take time to adapt to the strength of your arms. Although the hand vines increase the strength of the whole body, the stimulation to the arms is far greater than that of other parts of the body, just like
It is a brand new system that has been suddenly upgraded. If you don’t adapt well, you will be unable to operate it.”
"Before this, I do not recommend that you touch your body with your arms..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden gasp of air in the room.
Zhang Rouzhu stared blankly at the extra lock of hair in his hand, his lips trembling.
"..."
Bai Mo was silent for a moment: "I reminded you."
"I know, but can you remind me earlier..." Zhang Rouzhu was about to cry but had no tears.
Just now, she brushed the hair from her forehead with her hand. Unexpectedly, the strength in her hand was completely out of control, and she actually grabbed a handful directly, causing her scalp to feel burning pain.
"It's okay. Anyway, Rouzhu, you have a lot of hair, so it doesn't matter if you lose a few."
Zhang Tao on the side said with a suppressed smile, "You should be lucky that I didn't touch your head."
Seeing the unkind look from his sister, he quickly suppressed his smile, coughed dryly, and said seriously: "It turns out that the hand vine needs to be mixed with juice to be effective. No wonder Brother Bai won't let you take the bottle, otherwise you would have to squeeze the bottle with your strength.
It cannot be broken, and your hands will probably be scratched by the fragments."
Zhang Rouzhu was stunned and asked: "Is that so? Do you still have such considerations?"
She looked at Bai Mo and couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in her heart. She didn't expect that this guy was so careful and took such little things into consideration.
"I'm really afraid that you'll crush the bottle."
Bai Mo was silent for a moment and said honestly, "But the main reason is that we are afraid that if the venom is spilled, we will have nothing to sell. As for your hands..."
The room suddenly became quiet.
Although they both take into account the problem of the bottle being crushed, the final direction of the two rhetorics is obviously very different...
Zhang Tao slapped his forehead and was speechless.
Why is Brother Bai so honest in a place like this...
After a brief silence, he decided to break the embarrassment himself, so he pretended to think deeply for a while and asked: "Have you ever thought about something?"
The two looked at him.
"The function of the hand vine is to strengthen the arm, so what do you think..." A mysterious smile appeared on his face, "What effect will it have if a person without hands eats it?"
The corner of Zhang Rouzhu's mouth twitched, and his already bad mood became even worse. He said angrily: "You can try it yourself!"
"Well, that's not necessary, hahaha."
Zhang Tao laughed twice, then his laughter suddenly stopped.
Because at some point, a few drops of dark green juice fell into his open mouth.
Bai Mo put the cork on the bottle and said, "You should drink it too."
Zhang Tao swallowed the juice subconsciously and was about to scratch his head, but then he seemed to think of something.
Those thick arms... suddenly had nowhere to place them.
In the following period, people passing by Zhang Tao's house noticed a strange phenomenon:
The Zhang brothers and sisters actually stayed in the yard all the time, raising their arms high and not daring to touch their messy hair. They just shook their heads or hung their hands on their sides, looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, as if they had been hit.
It's like evil.
Coupled with the obviously damaged house, it looked like something terrible had happened before.
So they consciously stayed away from the yard.
Bai Mo, on the other hand, heated up the vines and started eating on his own under the complicated eyes of the brothers and sisters.
"Believe me, you can't eat too much of this kind of thing."
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Mo and the others came to a remote and narrow path. There were dark green trees on both sides of the path, and the branches were intertwined with each other, as if forming a narrow tunnel——
This is the entrance to the market.
Bai Mo is thoughtful.
The three of them walked into the tunnel one after another. The green branches emitted a long green light, which could barely act as a street lamp. Zhang Rouzhu walked between the two, because besides them, there were other people pouring into the tunnel.
It's so narrow here, there's no guarantee that no one will tamper in the tunnel.
Most people put on a black cloak, and Zhang Tao and the other three were no exception. This was to hide their identities. The team moved in an orderly manner, surprisingly quiet, everything was stable, just like the established rules, no one dared
Violate.
After walking for about three minutes, the front suddenly became clear, and the green branches spread out, forming an upward staircase. After walking up the stairs, a huge plain was revealed in front of everyone.
