Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1232 - 223:

The child's vertical pupils glimmered with a bloody hue; never before had he experienced such an eerie battle.

These two people were supposed to be on the same side, yet they fought with no regard for each other's lives.

Moreover, they had profound abilities, but they went straight for life-for-life tactics, without any regard for strategy, intent on taking his life.

No, to be precise, they were aiming for the life of this Divination Child!

"Child, insert the needle!"

At this critical moment, the child heard the youth's voice.

The talisman needle was in the climbing bag's pocket, placed horizontally instead of vertically.

Moreover, the needlehead was uncovered, and even the fabric of the bag lining the needle's point was deliberately thinned.

Regarding needle insertion, the child had long lost the initial anger and resistance of feeling his divine power desecrated. After being transferred to the new unit, his initiative in needle insertion significantly increased.

For this, he even designed the most efficient needle insertion method with Lin Shuyou for critical moments.

A simple forceful backward jerk would propel the talisman needle through the bag's barrier and stab into the body from behind.

The moment the needle inserted, the child's energy surged dramatically!

He was furious, because using this move meant he wouldn't be able to act for a while. The wave had only just begun, yet he had inexplicably used his trump card, unable to contribute further, and perhaps becoming a burden, which would greatly reduce the merit earned upon completion.

But no matter how furious and unwilling, life was more important. If this Divination Child died, he would be finished.

"Boom!"

The child thrust forward with his left hand, driving the trident further into the ship captain's body, along with a force that pushed him away.

Meanwhile, though the child's body remained bound by the fishing net, he forcibly turned around, avoiding his vital points. The spear tip didn't pierce his heart but instead pierced his right arm.

Since the spear thrust was unstoppable, even after penetrating his arm, the old lady carrying it continued forward.

The White Crane Child opened his mouth, concentrating his divine power there; like he had previously condensed the trident, this time, he formed fangs.

He bit down directly on the approaching old lady's neck!

"Poof!"

The White Crane Child never imagined that he, a dignified Official General Chief Yin God, would resort to biting someone in battle!

But now, wrapped like a zongzi in a fishing net, he had no other moves to use.

The old lady, bitten, showed no pain on her face, surprisingly letting go of the spear and hugging the child with both arms.

The ship captain, previously pushed away, formed seals with his hands. Gruesome, distorted ghost faces appeared on the fishing net, each mouth wide open, as if ghost fire was about to spew forth.

At this moment, the child sensed he was in a crisis!

If he didn't leave Lin Shuyou's body now, when the ghost fire on the net fully ignited, even his divine body would suffer severe damage. Even if he didn't perish, his divine rank would fall.

However, if he left now, Lin Shuyou, who had inserted the needle, would surely die!

In this fleeting moment, he had to make a decision.

Just then, a pot wrapped in the Demon Exorcism Whip descended from the sky.

The child sighed in relief; he truly didn't know what choice he would have made, but fortunately, the youth didn't give him the chance to decide. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He felt fortunate and grateful.

The old lady held the child, as the child bit her neck, both parties mutually restraining each other.

Yin Meng's whip skills had reached perfection; the pot directly smashed onto the old lady's back.

The tinfoil cracked, dinner spilled, and soaked the old lady's back.

This was an attack easily dodged, or in a normal exchange, anyone with decent agility could avoid it, but this time, there was no escape.

"Ah!!!"

The old lady let out a miserable scream. Previously fearless with her life-for-life tactics, even getting pierced by the trident without a noise.

But Yin Meng's poison was no ordinary thing, and the pain far surpassed her threshold, making it impossible to block it out.

The old lady's back clothes completely melted, skin started to rot extensively, blistering all over.

Her hands, initially locking the White Crane Child, unintentionally loosened.

The child raised his head, bumped her, then turned back, trying to break free from the net, only to find the ship captain had completed his sealing, issuing a ruthless command:

"Open Ghost Gate, fiery doom!"

Above, Li Zhiyuan opened his right hand, the red blood mist turned black, his gaze stern.

Initiating ghost fire and opening the Ghost Gate in front of him?

The young man clenched his palm and said in a deep voice:

"Gather!"

The ghost fire that had just ignited was extinguished in an instant!

The captain's purple eyes were filled with shock; he hadn't expected that his meticulously prepared killing move would be suppressed like this.

Equally shocked was Yin Meng, although she was habitually surprised.

Every time she saw her ancestral masterwork performed in the hands of Brother Xiao Yuan, it always brought her a familiar sense of awe. It was truly never tiring to watch.

The White Crane Child spread its arms wide. The previously unbreakable fishing net, after the rapid ignition and extinction of the ghost fire, had its restrictions completely destroyed, turning it into a normal fishing net that could be easily broken free from.

The old woman's pitiful scream stopped; her back was utterly mangled, but she still bent down to pick up her spear. Immediately, the captain picked her up, and the two quickly fled.

The White Crane Child's hands made a gesture, and two tridents formed, ready to pursue.

"Do not pursue."

The child was unwilling, turning its head to look at the young man:

"They nearly killed me just now."

Li Zhiyuan: "Hmm."

"If we don't go after them now, I will soon lose my combat abilities, and the situation will become even more dangerous."

Li Zhiyuan: "Hmm."

The child felt like punching cotton, but in the end, did not dare act out and said nothing more.

Li Zhiyuan: "Although this time you inserted the needle, your power isn't exhausted; sit back down and use the remaining Divine Power to nourish Lin Shuyou's body, which will shorten his paralysis from overexertion."

The child looked deeply at the young man, walked over to sit on another rock, placed its palm on its chest, and began infusing the remaining Divine Power into Lin Shuyou to help repair his body.

Other Yin Gods would be reluctant, but it was willing since, based on past experience, the lost Divine Power would return double after this wave ended.

Nearby, Xin Jiyue let out a breath; she had just finished her "Divination" and ended her "Divination Support State" as well.

Yin Meng went to pick up a pot, and when passing by Xin Jiyue, asked: "Why didn't you make a move just now?"

Xin Jiyue: "I couldn't find a chance to strike, it was too fast, really."

At this moment, Run Sheng and Wu Qinhai ran over: "Xiao Yuan, that one over there ran, he..."

Li Zhiyuan gave Run Sheng a glance, and Run Sheng immediately shut up, saying no more.

"Brother Runsheng, let's cook." Li Zhiyuan glanced at the pot in Yin Meng's hand, "Change to a different pot."

"Alright."

Li Zhiyuan entered the tent and pulled up the zipper.

Tan Wenbin opened his eyes and sat up.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, have they come?"

"Yes, three of them."

"Three..."

"Ah You inserted the needle, Yin Meng's poison injured that old woman, and then they retreated."

"Just retreated?" Tan Wenbin looked surprised, "Did they know that Ah You's Divination state couldn't last long, so they waited for the child to leave, letting Ah You fall into weakness before seizing the opportunity to strike?"

"Hmm."

"Was the old woman heavily injured?"

"Quite."

"Even if she's heavily injured, we'll temporarily lose Ah You's combat power on our side, it's a loss for us..."

"Not a loss, I will use Ah You as bait in the next Array to capture them all at once when they take the bait again."

"Use Ah You as bait?" Tan Wenbin's eyes showed contemplation; he seemed to grasp a critical point, "Their target is Ah You?"

"Hmm. Run Sheng's side was just a distraction; they didn't use full force, not even seriously fighting, but when dealing with Ah You, they went to extreme lengths, directly aiming to exchange lives.

I can even bet you that, even if given the chance to kill you, kill Run Sheng, kill Meng Meng, or kill me, they would deliberately avoid it, just to kill Lin Shuyou."

Tan Wenbin: "Because Ah You is also a Divination Child, and Wu Qinhai and Xin Jiyue, the former calls upon the Great Immortals, the latter is also a Divination Child, they are essentially the same."

"Exactly."

"Generally, when there's a personnel loss in a Jiang Team, they recruit new members, and if Ah You dies, these two can replace Ah You's ecological position in our team, they indeed are very suitable replacements, so the goal of the traitors is actually..."

"Indeed, it wants to join my team and travel the rivers with me."
