The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1173 - 733: Liu Zheng: Stop Fighting Over Me!

Chapter 1173: Chapter 733: Liu Zheng: Stop Fighting Over Me!

"Stop it right now!"

At this moment, the escaping Earth God emerged again and said loudly.

"I’ve already stopped."

Liu Zheng innocently raised his tentacles.

"Uh... I meant, quickly take back all these poison gases."

The Earth God said while covering his nose and mouth.

"Earth Spirit, this isn’t poison gas, it’s just evaporated water from the waste, and I can’t take it back."

He said helplessly.

"I don’t care, just collect all this filthy stuff, and I’ll consider you’ve passed the test, otherwise, I’ll consider your test a failure."

The Earth God didn’t want to hear his excuses.

"Well, alright then."

Liu Zheng sighed and used a wooden bucket to collect the dried sewer waste again.

For those already seeped into the ground, he scraped them into the bucket using the Voodoo Insect Killing Dagger.

"Is this okay now, Earth Spirit?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It’s okay now."

The Earth God breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he waved his Peach Rod, and the peach blossoms that were protecting the orchards started to swirl, wrapping both the dead and the living insects, bringing them before the two.

"These insect corpses were supposed to be buried as fertilizer, but they’re useless now."

The Earth God looked at the foaming insect corpses and sighed deeply.

"Fortunately, I found you to be an agreeable young man, so I only summoned a necessary number of Dragon Worms. Otherwise, this would have been a massive loss."

He said, relieved.

"This is what you call a reward for kindness."

Liu Zheng laughed and said.

"Reward for what? Without these nutrients, I have to use my own Spiritual Power to make up for it. Do you have any idea how long it takes me to accumulate a little Spiritual Power during my arduous training?"

The Earth God said through clenched teeth.

"No way, young man. You must have some better wine on you. Bring it all out and offer it to me, or I’ll throw you into the Moat right now."

By Moat, he meant the Mercury Sea outside the gate.

"Alright, alright. But Earth Spirit, this sewage waste, though it’s toxic, is highly nutritious. Can’t we use it as fertilizer here?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, the Earth God calmed down.

The Earth God carefully picked up an insect corpse, observed it for a while, and shook his head.

"These Dragon Worms are formed from the resentment of the True Dragon. Combining with this filthy waste only amplifies the resentment and poison, making it completely unusable."

After saying that, he opened the Bronze Gate and tossed all the insect corpses into the Mercury Sea.

"What about this bucket of waste?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This filthy stuff is excellent in terms of fertility and contains many components not found here. I must carefully study it to see if I can find a way to use it."

The Earth God nodded while looking at the wooden bucket.

"That’s good, that’s good."

"Good, my foot! Leave this wooden bucket here too. I have nothing suitable to store this filthy stuff."

Earth God said with impatience.

"Ah, but this bucket isn’t mine. I have to return it later."

He said with a bitter face.

"Serves you right. You brought this upon yourself by taking shortcuts to pass the test."

The Earth God showed no sympathy.

Though the Earth God had a kind face, being entrusted by the tomb’s master to manage this place meant he wasn’t a soft-hearted person.

If not for Liu Zheng’s generosity and resourcefulness, he would have already been killed.

Besides, if Liu Zheng can loot tombs, why can’t the Earth God rob him?

"What about my passage?"

Liu Zheng tentatively asked.

"I’ll consider you passed."

The Earth God said with a disgruntled face.

"Thank you, Earth Spirit. This ’Portable Bio-Waste Containment Device’ is my gift to you." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He said cheerfully.

Exchanging a great tool for passage was a good deal.

As for Doctor Nile, he thought this item wasn’t likely unique; he could just buy another one to return to him.

"Here, Earth Spirit, have some Bamboo Leaf Green to settle your nerves."

Liu Zheng took out a bottle marked Silver Label to give to the Earth God.

"Stop!"

The Earth God shouted shrilly.

"Uh, what’s the matter now?"

He scratched his ear.

Could it be that the Earth God has gone mad from being cooped up in the tomb too long? Why does he always scream?

"Don’t you know what you look like right now?"

The Earth God questioned.

"What do I look like?"

Liu Zheng blankly glanced at himself.

Don’t I look fine? Except for being covered in pits and bumps, along with many growing nodules, resembling some wicked bio-experiment.

"You surely aren’t disgusted by my regenerating flesh, are you? Let me tell you, I’ve been nourishing myself through proper meals, never eaten humans or practiced any unorthodox techniques; I’m very clean."

He defended himself.

"Am I disgusted by your flesh? No, I’m disgusted by all that filthy stuff on you!"

The Earth God shouted.

Liu Zheng, in his fervent splattering of the sewer’s special produce, inevitably got quite a bit on himself, too.

"Huh? Oh. Hahaha, my apologies. Been in the sewer so much, I’ve gotten used to it and don’t notice anymore."

He chuckled awkwardly.

Or rather, this dullness is a psychological mechanism to maintain his humanity anchor point.

"Just how many times have you been there? No, don’t tell me, I don’t want to know. Just stand right there, don’t move."

The Earth God stopped him before he could speak.

After speaking, he waved the Peach Rod, a water ball rose from a nearby stream and splashed towards Liu Zheng.

The filth on him, along with some flesh, was carried away by the water and fell into the Mercury Sea.

"Huh?"

After the brief pain, Liu Zheng instead felt an icy, refreshing sensation all over, with his flesh regenerating much faster.
