Emotion Wound

On the twelfth day, Li Banfeng led everyone to Meng Yuchun's territory.

Last night it rained heavily, and Cao Zhida's tent got flooded. He seemed to have caught a chill, and with a heavy nasal voice, he said to Li Banfeng, "I don't think those hunters really gained anything. In this lousy place, who would want to be a landlord?"

Li Banfeng said, "I'm telling you, after you successfully clear the land, you must come and tend to it regularly. You mustn't let the land go to waste. This is the rule of the Local Earth God, and it will be written in the contract."

Cao Zhida said with a bitter face, "Seventh Master, isn't this making things difficult for us? Why don't we just surrender and consider the reclamation a failure?"

"We cannot surrender in this land reclamation; we must fight to the death."

The hunters panicked. "That won't do! If we can't win, we can't lose! We can't risk our lives!"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Let me discuss it with the Local Earth God. This rule is a bit too unreasonable."

When they arrived at Li Banfeng's Land Block, the giant toad was inspecting the sentry posts for the Mountain Wolf and golden eagles. Li Banfeng was very satisfied and gave the giant toad five pills. "As long as you do your job well, you will receive one pill every month. This is your deposit."

The giant toad puffed out its chest and raised its head, declaring, "With Seventh Master's word, not even a mosquito can fly into your territory!"

Buzz~

As they were talking, a mosquito actually flew right up to them.

The giant toad stuck out its tongue and ate the mosquito on the spot.

Dozens of people suddenly arrived at the location, and Meng Yuchun arrived shortly afterward.

Unlike other Local Earth God, she didn't arrive as a ghost fire spirit; she revealed her true form directly in front of everyone.

The group of hunters were dumbfounded.

Where did this beauty come from?

Is it Strange Monsters?

If Strange Monsters looked like this, they could also create the legend of Fifth Master.

Meng Yuchun wanted to say that she was the Local Earth God, but Local Earth God do not easily reveal themselves to people.

Fearing that she might frighten the hunters, Li Banfeng introduced her by saying, "This young lady is an emissary sent by the Local Earth God."

Messenger?

Are there messengers here to reclaim this wasteland?

This is the first time I've ever seen this.

Since Seventh Master had already declared himself an envoy, the group of hunters naturally had no doubts. They surrounded him and introduced themselves one after another.

"Sister, I may not be good at anything else, but I'm an absolute expert at land reclamation. In Blue Poplar Village, if I'm second to none in land reclamation, no one dares to claim to be number one."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Our Fifth Master is the best at clearing land in Blue Poplar Village, and I'm Fifth Master only to him!"

"They're talking nonsense. Let me say something serious. I've been doing land reclamation for over ten years and I've never made a mistake."

Cao Zhida shouted, "What are you doing? You can't even show a fraction of your ability, yet you're bragging about being a 120% expert. Aren't you ashamed of yourself!"

The hunters were resentful, but none of them dared to contradict Cao Zhida.

Cao Zhida forward and clasped his hands in greeting. "Miss, I'm an expert in land reclamation. Just tell me how much land you think is suitable."

Meng Yuchun asked happily, "Ten miles is enough?"

Cao Zhida patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of it."

The group of hunters were terrified and retreated to a distance.

Ten miles?

Isn't this just courting death?

Even Li Banfeng was terrified.

"What do you mean you'll take care of it?" Li Banfeng grabbed Cao Zhida and said to Meng Yuchun, "We can't open up ten miles of Land Block, at most we can open up one mile."

"Only one li?" Meng Yuchun was very disappointed.

Cao Zhida said to Li Banfeng, "Seventh Master, since the Local Earth God has sent an envoy, we should just follow their arrangements. That's called 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'."

Li Banfeng stared at Cao Zhida, his brows furrowed.

What's wrong with Lao Cao?

Meng Yuchun is indeed quite beautiful, but Cao Zhida was once a member of the Lu Family and has seen many beauties. He shouldn't have become like this.

Li Banfeng pulled Meng Yuchun aside and lowered his voice, saying, "These people are the ones I brought. They have to follow my instructions. They can only clear one mile of Land Block at most."

Meng Yuchun pondered for a moment and said, "That works too, one mile per person..."

"It's not one mile per person, but one mile in total!"

"More than fifty people only managed to cover one mile!" Meng Yuchun protested. "Li Qi, are you kidding me?"

Li Banfeng didn't play tricks on Meng Yuchun. This group of hunters was recruited and they weren't familiar with each other. He wasn't sure about their cultivation level, so he cleared out Land Block a mile away to test their quality.

Meng Yuchun asked, "According to your method of operation, who will be the landlord?"

Li Banfeng said, "That depends on who is the most capable and who can take on this land. The others won't come for nothing; I won't skimp on the fees for developing the land."

If someone is truly capable of developing their own Land Block, then we'll make arrangements.

Meng Yuchun reluctantly agreed, but Cao Zhida refused, insisting on acquiring a separate plot of land.

Meng Yuchun was willing, Cao Zhida was willing, and Li Banfeng couldn't say anything more.

As before, everything was kept simple. Meng Yuchun drew the boundaries and began the examination on the spot.

After three days of fierce competition, both plots of land were successfully acquired.

These fifty-odd hunters were all experienced in clearing land, so clearing out a mile was not difficult for them.

Cao Zhida really had a tough time; he fought alone for three days and suffered many injuries.

Meng Yuchun greatly admired Cao Zhida, praising him, "Among this group of people, you are the most capable."

That statement caused a problem.

Cao Zhida patted his chest and said, "Girl, give me three more miles, and I'll show you my true skills!"

Li Banfeng grabbed Cao Zhida and said, "Are you crazy?"

Cao Zhida calmly looked at Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, I usually listen to you in everything. Please grant me this one request and let me save face in front of Miss Meng!"

Li Banfeng said, "Don't you have a death wish?"

"No, thank you," Cao Zhida shook his head. "As long as I can stay with Miss Meng from now on, I'm willing to give my life here!"

Cao Zhida was determined to open the land, and no one could dissuade him.

The giant toad hopped closer and said to Li Banfeng, "Seventh Master, this man has probably eaten sweet snot."

Li Banfeng retorted angrily, "Nonsense! Snot is clearly salty!"

"I'm not talking about snot, I'm talking about a type of Wandering Monster, called the Emotion Wound Slug in the book."

"Wandering Monster? One that doesn't obey the Local Earth God?"

Glug!

The toad puffed out its cheeks. "Seventh Master is right. These Wandering Monster are not under the control of the Local Earth God, and they are all of considerable level."

The Emotion Wound Slug is formed from the souls of several Emotion Cultivators who have clung together. These souls, having lived in this new land for many years, have lost their ghostly appearance but have developed a Snot Worm -like body, specifically designed to burrow into the nostrils of lovers.

Brother Cao is indeed interested in Miss Meng; he's been hooked on her sweet snot, and now things are spiraling out of control.

Li Banfeng looked at Meng Yuchun: "Doesn't she know about this kind of Wandering Monster?"

"Gugua, as far as I know, she rarely came to the new land when she was human, and she's only been the Local Earth God for less than a year now. Sweet Snot is rarely seen, so she might not even recognize her."

Besides, being infected with sweet snot doesn't cause any other symptoms besides being too deeply in love, so it's not easy for the average person to tell. I only suspected he was possessed because I heard Brother Cao spitting out saliva while he was talking.

"Is this thing deadly?"

"It depends on the person. Brother Cao is willing, but Miss Meng is not. Even if you stop him from clearing the land, he will die of lovesickness in the future."

Cao Zhida's gaze never left Meng Yuchun. Li Banfeng asked Hama, "Is there any hope for him?"

"Since Seventh Master has asked, I'm willing to give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not depends on his own fate. Seventh Master, could you think of a way to get him to fall asleep first?"

Getting Lao Cao to sleep isn't so easy. He'd been fighting in the new area for three days without closing his eyes, yet he was still incredibly energetic.

Li Banfeng dismissed everyone and took out Ling Miaoying's Music Box.

Winding it up, Li Banfeng turned the little figure on the turntable so that its face was facing Cao Zhida.

This is how the Wife taught Li Banfeng to use it.

Li Banfeng flipped the switch, and the little figure paused for a moment in front of Cao Zhida, selected the target, and began to slowly rotate on the turntable.

The soothing piano music drifted towards Cao Zhida, and after a short while, Cao Zhida fell asleep.

Li Banfeng put away the Music Box, and the toad hopped to Cao Zhida's side, sticking out its tongue at Cao Zhida's nose.

A long tongue wriggled on Lao Cao's nose, its tip gradually forking and standing up like two antennae.

After rubbing the antennae against its nose for a moment, another pair of antennae emerged from inside the nose.

It's a slug!

This is truly Wandering Monster.

The slug slowly crawled out, and throughout the entire process, the big toad didn't make a sound.

Just as the slug emerged halfway out, the giant toad coiled its tongue around it and dragged it out of Cao Zhida's nose.

Is that all it takes?

No.

Old Cao is saved, but now the giant toad is in danger.

The Emotion Wound Slug is extremely adept at parasitism; it can crawl into a toad's nose in the blink of an eye.

The giant toad was prepared; it flicked its tongue and sent the slug sprawling to the ground.

If it weren't for the big toad's explanation of the slug's characteristics, Li Banfeng might Trample Ten Thousand Rivers to death with a single stomp.

But if you actually step on it, the slug might not die. It is a collection of the souls of the Emotion Cultivator, and it might break into several small slugs and go on to harm other living beings.

Li Banfeng made special preparations for this.

As soon as the slug landed, it sensed a woman standing in front of it.

The woman's eyes sparkled with affection as she gazed at the slug on the ground.

Without hesitation, the slug rushed towards the woman and leaped into her nostril.

Li Banfeng gave the giant toad a pill as a reward and gestured for him to leave as soon as possible.

The toad immediately jumped to a distance, Li Banfeng took the projector and returned to Portable Abode.

The woman is an image projected by the projector.

The projector turned off the lens, the image disappeared, and the slug fell to the ground with a thud.

The Wife used a needle to impale the slug, then used steam to bind it, and happily sang, "Emotion Wound Slug, this is a good thing!"

The two needles swung up and down, quickly dismembering the Emotion Wound Slug. The six souls of the Emotion Cultivator, both male and female, entered the trumpet mouth one after another, accompanied by shouts of varying pitches.

As the steam dissipated, a clump of slime remained on the ground. Li Banfeng brought over Red Lotus: "Eat it."

Red Lotus really didn't mind and cleaned up the slime thoroughly.

Li Banfeng sighed, "You really aren't picky about food."

Huff~

The Wife sang, "Of course she's not picky. This thing is truly rare. Husband, I can't let her eat it all. I left some of its spiritual essence inside so she can refine it into a Spiritual Object!"

Spiritual Object.

What should I refine?

Li Banfeng took stock of his weapons.

A sickle cannot be forged casually; this thing is very handy.

The shovel is also handy, so I won't consider reforging it for now.

What other weapon would be suitable?

Li Banfeng glanced around the room, trembling as he clutched his Tang Blade in his gloves.

Li Banfeng would never reforge the magic weapon for such a small amount of snot.

There was a pair of weapons that Li Banfeng never felt comfortable using.

The Mandarin Duck Halberds were too complicated. Li Banfeng placed them in front of Copper Lotus. Copper Lotus hesitated for a long time, but finally accepted the Mandarin Duck Halberds.

When the Lotus Heart bloomed, Li Banfeng discovered that Ling Miaoying's Lotus Seed was already ripe.

He peeled off the Lotus Seed, waited a moment, and six Golden Essence Pill exploded out.

The previous communication was effective; at least this time, what came out was indeed Golden Essence Pill.

"Ah Lian, isn't this amount a bit too little?"

PS: Ban Feng has always been aware of this.
