Chapter 479 Gambling

With the help of extremely vague perception, Ceres could vaguely perceive some situations around him, but it was obvious that he was completely confused about the information he had collected.

"There seems to be a human being?" The extreme feeling of weakness troubled it, leaving Ceres with only one thought. At the same time, it also discovered that its body did not obey its commands at all, and it seemed that it could not move at all.

Under the premise that it was completely confused about the situation, it was unwilling to cause any conflict at this time, so it decided to enter a state of suspended animation in deep sleep.

…

The human being discovered by Ceres was none other than Anna, who had fled with Ling Tian's body.

Along the way, she struggled with this question, whether she should do anything to the corpse.

Although she had made up her mind before, in order to gain the strength to avenge her sister, she would pay any price, but when it came time to actually use the knife on Ling Tian's body, Anna was still timid.

Regardless of whether the person being eaten is his lover or not, cannibalism is not acceptable to normal people.

Anna is now faced with such a difficult choice. If she can eat Ling Tian, ​​who is full of treasures, bit by bit, she estimates that she can break through to the third level at least within half a year, saving more than ten years of training time in disguise. .

As the concentration of spiritual energy continues to decrease, the time required for cultivation increases day by day.

Most of the extraordinary people who started their cultivation path when the spiritual tide broke out took less than a year to appear in their own life field and enter the third level equivalent to the current one.

However, just over ten years later, people painfully discovered that according to the current situation of spiritual energy, if there are no various precious spiritual materials to assist in cultivation, and just rely on exercises to refine spiritual energy, on average, from the first level to the second level, It also takes more than five years.

Compared with countless people who want to gain power and gain a longer lifespan, the earth is too small, and the amount of spiritual materials produced cannot support the cultivation of so many people. This directly leads to the final loss of all kinds of spiritual materials. They were all sold to sky-high prices.

Most of them have a basic cultivation method issued by the state and belong to the universal education level, and they are already full of cultivators.

Unless you sell your house and give up everything to take a gamble, spiritual materials that can easily cost hundreds of thousands or millions are just daydreaming.

Especially after the White Land took control of the four secret realms, other countries suddenly lost the four most important sources of spiritual materials, and the prices of spiritual materials soared.

The extremely tight supply of spiritual materials has finally forced all countries to control related resources and prohibit the outflow of most resources. Even the hidden black market has been hit to death and can only lurk.

"If I don't eat it myself, but sell Ling Tian's meat, I will easily be targeted..."

Anna, hiding in a hut, began to think calmly about the future.

If she wanted to sell Ling Tian's flesh as spiritual materials, it would be difficult for her to escape strict supervision as she was only at the first level, and the matter would definitely be exposed in the end.

Thinking of the consequences of the leak, Anna couldn't help but shudder.

"What would you choose?" A vague figure floated in the sky, silently observing Anna who was deep in thought.

That figure was a clone of Bai Mo. Before Isis left, he quietly manipulated Seres, stole a ray of its will, and then stuffed it into the headless Lingtian corpse at will.

What had just awakened was actually just a little bit of its consciousness. As for Seres's body, it was naturally taken back to the Zerg's base camp by Isis.

…

Bai Mo wants Ceres to participate in a gamble, and the bet is its life.

If Anna finally decides to let Ling Tian's body go and let him rest in peace, then the ray of will attached to the body will have a chance to slowly revive after the Zerg master regains control of Ceres' body, and then spends decades time, absorbing the nutrients of the corpse bit by bit until it is reborn.

But if Anna decides to eat Ling Tian and make him the material for her promotion, then Ceres's will will become her food together with its host.

Everything was just a thought of Anna, or in other words, a thought of Bai Mo, who designed this bet.

Regardless of whether Thres is willing to admit it or not, it was the culprit that killed countless high-level officials back then, and indirectly played a major role in the first generation of extraordinary beings seizing power.

Therefore, Bai Mo, as the beneficiary, also gave it a glimmer of life in a wicked way, letting a girl who hated it decide its life and death in disguise.

Of course, Anna herself didn't know anything about this. She had no idea that she suddenly became the judge of her sister-killing enemy who would never forget it day and night.

"..."

After struggling for half a minute, with a heavy sigh, Anna made her own decision.

"I need power!"

She closed her eyes tightly, swallowed, and picked up the knife in her hand with difficulty.

Anna carefully removed the body from the canvas bag in which it was hidden, and then placed it on the table with great gentleness.

Ling Tian, ​​who was at the fifth level during his lifetime, had his body dehumanized to a great extent. Even after he had been dead for a long time, the surface was still as smooth as jade and showed no sign of decay.

It's not because she is worried about the corpse transformation, but simply because she cherishes artworks and beautiful things.

Even without the head, Ling Tian's body is still a beautiful sculpture!

During his lifetime, Ling Tian would consciously control his appearance so that he looked no different from ordinary people.

The existence of the fifth level has begun the first transformation of the body and the sublimation of the essence of life, and he is no exception.

But in order to better integrate into this society, or because they are reluctant to give up their original appearance, they often use spiritual techniques to keep their appearance as it is.

However, after death, the effect of the spiritual technique disappeared, and the inhuman part reappeared. The mutton-fat white jade-like body was exactly Ling Tian's true appearance.

Holding the knife in her hand, Anna felt that she had no idea what to do. One reason was that she was shocked by the beauty of this work of art.

Another reason is that she rarely cooks herself as she has always been taken care of. She doesn't even know how to kill a chicken, let alone carve up a human being.

Where to cut, how to remove the meat, and how to avoid the bones all require knowledge. It is really difficult for someone who is not a professional dissector to do it well.

"Err, eh, eh, eh..."

After thinking hard for a long time, she finally found a random place to start based on her feeling, but found that the knife in her hand could not cut Ling Tian at all. The blade made an overwhelming sound, but there was not even a scratch on the surface of the body.

A fifth-level life form, even a corpse, is still somewhat powerless with a mere kitchen knife.
