The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1230 - 763: Bloody Battle with the Peacock (Part 2)

Chapter 1230: Chapter 763: Bloody Battle with the Peacock (Part 2)

The contracted muscles forcibly sealed the wounds on Niu Ma, making it look like a deformed doll of flesh and blood.

"Damn!"

The intense pain made Niu Ma curse uncontrollably.

Unfortunately, every curse made it cough up more old blood and inner fragments.

"Boss, stop cursing and take a good rest."

Liu Zheng advised.

Niu Ma glared at him but didn’t even have the strength to curse him.

"Meow..."

The Fool also let out a weak cry, barely getting up from the ground.

It struggled to snap its fingers, and a cup appeared out of thin air on the table, filled with a milky white glowing liquid.

The Fool pointed at the cup, and Liu Zheng understood, picking up the cup and pouring the liquid into its mouth.

The Fool only drank half before closing its mouth and then pointed to Niu Ma.

Liu Zheng nodded and fed the remaining half to Niu Ma.

Threads of white light stretched from their pores, wrapping them into two cocoons of light.

After more than an hour, the cocoons gradually dissipated, and the two "people" staggered to their feet.

"It seems I still overestimated myself."

The Fool said with a bitter smile.

In the past, it thought that even if it wasn’t the top strongman of the Metropolis, it wasn’t far from it, so it dared to confront Peacock directly.

Unexpectedly, when Peacock got serious, it was terrifying, taking it down to sixty percent dead with one move.

Moreover, it had mainly been responsible for protecting Liu Zheng, while Niu Ma took the brunt of it, or it would have been even more seriously injured.

"Being able to withstand one move from Peacock is already impressive."

Liu Zheng comforted.

That was Peacock, a tough character who made countless strongmen in the Metropolis disgruntled yet powerless against her.

Although she had once been blocked and beaten by the Deputy Director of the Border Control Bureau, it wasn’t because she couldn’t fight back, but because the latter was wearing the Supreme Councilman’s gloves.

Carefully thinking about it, how could someone the Supreme Councilman intervenes with be an ordinary person?

"Perhaps only when I advance to a narrator can I truly spar with her."

The Fool, while feeling lost, also yearned.

Although advancing to a narrator can only rely on oneself, having guidance from other narrators would undoubtedly increase the success rate significantly, and the Writer President was undoubtedly the strongest narrator in the world.

Once the Writer President stabilized and could teach it well, its strength would surely improve by leaps and bounds.

On the day it advances to a narrator, it must use a challenge to Peacock as celebration.

Even if it can’t win, it can serve to check its pride and impatience.

Looking back now, its path had been too smooth.

"I kind of hope I never have to spar with her in my life."

Niu Ma said with a grimace.

This time, its injuries didn’t look as terrifying as last time, but they were actually much worse, and now it felt like it was falling apart with every breath, an endless misery.

"I’m sorry, boss."

Liu Zheng apologized.

Originally thought it was an easy job for some kudos, but it turned into a life-threatening ordeal, this time he’d gotten Niu Ma into big trouble again.

Hmm, why did he say "again?"

"Knowing you has been my bad luck for eight lifetimes."

Niu Ma said irritably.

Although it also struggled to survive to today, that was all in the past; after becoming the head of the takeaway department, life had been pretty comfortable.

Even if it received troublesome orders like going to the Garbage Processing Plant, it could let others deliver them, and if unavoidable, it could take shortcuts. There wasn’t supposed to be anything as dangerous as clashing head-on with an actual big shot like Peacock.

But ever since knowing Liu Zheng, it has clashed twice with Peacock alone, taken several troublesome orders, and went right back to rookie days.

This time, it even had an antler on its Bronze Bull Head broken, which was a devastating loss.

Liu Zheng gave an embarrassed smile, not daring to respond.

This time, he truly put Niu Ma in a tough spot.

"Mr. Niu Ma, rest assured, I won’t let you work for nothing, a generous gift shall follow shortly."

The Fool rounded things out in time.

Niu Ma responded indifferently, then closed its eyes to rest.

"Mr. Deliveryman, please pull the cart inside."

The Fool summoned up all its strength to call forth the Bronze Gate, then told Liu Zheng.

"Sure."

Liu Zheng tied the rope onto himself and, pulling the cart, entered the gate with The Fool.

In the boundless starry sky, a coffin quietly floated, it was none other than the Beiyin Heaven Repairing Coffin.

Five Obsidian Pillars were drawn by an invisible force, flying to the coffin’s front.

The coffin lid shuddered, and the pillars immediately crumbled into dust, releasing the Five-Colored Dragon Clan.

But before they could celebrate, five chains extended from the coffin, piercing into their backs.

"Ow!"

The five ancient dragon clans, enough to dominate one side, could only let out a single miserable wail before all their lifelines were sealed.

"Mr. Deliveryman?"

The Fool looked at Liu Zheng.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Zheng nodded, taking out four Jade Talismans from the Qiankun Ring.

Perhaps because they weren’t true living beings, the four Jade Talismans offered no resistance, directly transforming into four Divine Dragons flying towards the coffin, then being locked by chains.

The arrangement of the Nine Dragons Carrying Coffin is completed; the surrounding space drastically changed, countless stars collapsed, numerous black holes burst, and innumerable planets deviated from their original orbits, turning into meteors across the sky.

"Let’s go!"

The Fool grabbed Liu Zheng’s arm and dragged him out of the door.

At the moment when the Bronze Gate closed, Liu Zheng saw countless red hairs sprouting on the Beiyin Heaven Repairing Coffin.

"What’s that?"

He looked at The Fool with an inquiring gaze.

"Detoxification."

The Fool answered succinctly.

"Oh, got it."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Just like cupping therapy, turning red meant toxins were coming out.

"Mr. Deliveryman, rest for a while. I’ll take Mr. Niu Ma for healing."

The Fool said.

Just now was only emergency treatment; detailed healing was needed to not damage the roots.

"Sure."

The Fool took Niu Ma to another door, while Liu Zheng started playing games.

After a while, the two "people" returned.

Compared to the lifeless look earlier, they now looked much more energetic.

Especially Niu Ma had a smile on its face, clearly pleased with the generous gift from The Fool.

"I have many loose ends to tie up, so I won’t keep you two as guests."

The Fool said.

"Alright, contact me if there’s any problem." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Liu Zheng nodded.

The Fool opened the Bronze Gate, and Niu Ma and Liu Zheng stepped through, finding themselves outside the clinic.

"Serves you right."

The Sphinx noticed Niu Ma’s severe injuries, gloating as it spoke.

"Oh, who do you think you’re talking to, hairy dog head?"

Niu Ma cursed.

"Are you cursing again?"

The Sphinx said furiously.

If it wasn’t for Liu Zheng’s presence, it wouldn’t have just taunted but would have pounced directly, and yet this damn Niu Ma dares to be so arrogant.

"Alright, alright, for my sake, spare Niu Ma this time."

Liu Zheng quickly stepped between the two "people" and then skillfully took out a piece of dried fish and stuffed it into the Sphinx’s mouth.

"Hmph!"

The Sphinx flashed a middle finger at Niu Ma, sulkily laying back down.

"Tch!"

Niu Ma returned the gesture, but fortunately, Liu Zheng blocked it in time, preventing the Sphinx from seeing.

"Come on, boss, since we’re injured now, can’t you be a bit less arrogant? If it goes berserk, I can’t handle it."

Liu Zheng chided, squinting.

"What are you afraid of?"

Niu Ma said without fear.

Just when Liu Zheng thought it was about to make some boastful remark, Niu Ma continued.

"I can’t beat it, but surely, I can outrun you?"

"Heh, why don’t you go and lie down now."

Liu Zheng dragged Niu Ma back to the restaurant.

Although Niu Ma had been so cocky just moments ago, as soon as it hit the pile of grass, it fell into a dead sleep, and even waving a bottle of Silver Label under its nose couldn’t wake it.

"Looks like I’ll need to start collecting some recovery items."

He thought to himself.

Even if he didn’t need them himself, his companions could use them.

As Liu Zheng’s strength rapidly increased, the cost for those around him to help also kept rising.

At this rate, casualties and injuries would become unavoidable.

"Sigh..."

Liu Zheng sighed, pouring the Silver Label into his own mouth.
