Settlement

A few minutes later, looking at the grotesque, cold corpse lying on the ground, Lu Li moved his body. His previously shattered body had been completely repaired, and he looked almost like a normal person. Now that he was out of the main world and had fewer restrictions, Lu Li had plenty of ways to use a person as a "red bottle" to repair physical damage, with very few side effects.

While unorthodox spells may have various flaws, it's because their techniques are not advanced enough. For example, Lu Li's technique of using other people's lives to heal injuries comes from an abandoned witchcraft in the Starshine World. People who are healed by this technique will have their souls entangled by the other person's resentment, resulting in a series of symptoms such as headaches and dizziness.

With more advanced technology, one can have someone else bear the resentment in one's place during use. With even more advanced technology, one can perfectly strip away the resentment and use it as a material.

Since Lu Li hadn't specifically researched this technology and was still lacking in skill, he returned his resentment to Zheng Li. He thought, "I'll do a good deed to the end. You helped me move the big tree and offered your body to heal me. Since your soul is going to disappear anyway, you might as well take on the side effects for me. Through the torment of these side effects, I can also find out the basic situation of this world."

In reality, Lu Li's method of utilization was still a bit lacking. The opponent's internal organs could be used for internal organ divination first. The heart could be modified to become a life detector. The brain could be extracted and used as a casting material to cast an impact spell. As for blood, blood magic requires a large amount, which is not ideal. However, the amount of one person's blood could be combined with skin and hair to create a painted skin demon. The bones could be made into a bone flute, which, combined with the opponent's tormented soul, could be transformed into a controlled vengeful spirit.

"Indeed, talent is the most important resource in the new century!" Lu Li searched through the various techniques he had collected intentionally or unintentionally from his other Avatar, as well as some ideas that he had refined when his thoughts were jumping around. After careful consideration, he realized that he was still too young. However, since he was not a major practitioner of evil magic, he should go and study the promising subject of time.

When there's not enough free time, one could write a few books like "On the Rational Use of Important Resources," "Necromancers Can't Take It Anymore, There Are Such Little Tricks," "Witch Will Cry After Reading This, Mages Will Be Silent After Reading This," and "Shocking, One Hundred Human Poses You Didn't Know."

Thinking about it, the sales seem quite good. Lu Li was naked. His clothes had long been destroyed by various forces during his transmigration. He was completely bald, even his hair. After all, energy couldn't be wasted during transmigration. It was all used to protect the main body parts. As for hair, it was best to reduce the burden as much as possible.

"It seems there's still a good person here?" Lu Li thought of the person who hadn't been misled, but decided against pursuing them. After all, although humans are fragile and sensitive, they can still survive various disasters. Even after a major catastrophe, there are still many humans left. There's no need to go to great lengths for one person.

"Besides, I'm not some kind of sorcerer; time manipulation is my proper job." Lu Li then began to study the distortion power of this world based on the information obtained from interrogating Zheng Li.

Lu Li picked up a scarlet fruit from a nearby tree. He could clearly sense a strange and twisted power emanating from the fruit. Not daring to be careless, Lu Li carefully took a small piece of the fruit and first used the energy of the dead to penetrate it, followed by the power of time, testing the fruit piece by piece.

"As expected, it's related to Doros, but unsurprisingly, there are other forces involved, which have combined and twisted together to form this unique power."

Lu Li pondered carefully, then squatted down to examine Zheng Li's corpse. Because his life force had been drained, his body had completely lost its vitality. In just a few minutes, it had turned an extremely bluish-gray, and there were no corpse worms or anything like that. It was a completely dead thing.

"According to him, he is a low-infection creature, and upon closer inspection, this is indeed the case. Although he is still human, his essence has been corrupted and distorted by the power of distortion. As long as this power of distortion is amplified..."

Various scientific and magical knowledge flashed through Lu Li's mind. Combining this with some information he had previously researched, he quickly completed a simple piece of magic. After all, Lu Li's Avatar, the azure dragon Malygos, called himself the master of magic and sorcery and had a spell damage of +5... ah, I mean, he had a wealth of magical and sorcery experience. Although he was not Malygos, completing a small spell was still no problem for him.

Lu Li picked a bright red fruit and used the magic he had just completed on it, causing the fruit to explode into a ball of crimson, twisted power, which he then threw into Zheng Li's corpse.

Zheng Li absorbing the scarlet energy, Zheng Li's body began to change drastically. However, it was unclear whether this was because Lu Li had drained a large amount of his life force or if the twisting power was inherently like this. Overall, this change was detrimental.

Zheng Li first grew snake-like scales, then a yellowish-purulent mucus began to spurt from within the scales. The corpse then began to tremble violently, and the experienced Lu Li immediately chose to run away.

With a deafening roar, the power of distortion erupted, creating an impact on the area. Lu Li stood at a distance, watching the explosion's effects, which seemed quite powerful. He silently calculated the effects of this spell on the low-infected population of this world.

Lu Li estimated that, based on his own research and Zheng Li's explanation that low-level infected individuals consuming high-level infected food would undergo a distorted transformation, either dying directly or being twisted into monsters, he roughly understood the effect of this spell.

Lu Li silently picked a few fruits from another tree and walked to the other side, thinking about how to increase the casting speed of this witchcraft and how to turn the 100 human body postures into 101 postures.

According to Zheng Li, not far from the Min'an Forest Park, there is a settlement of survivors called Min'an No. 3 Settlement. It is the third settlement established based on a former prison on the outskirts of Min'an City, and has a population of more than 4,000.

"First, we'll head to our base, study the power of this world, establish a firm foothold, enhance the strength of this Avatar, resolve the issue of the immortality of time, and then figure out a way to reinsert the nail!"

Judging from time travel and various other signs, this world is not far from the main world. Of course, this "not far" refers to its proximity to other worlds. If we could conquer this world, it would be easier to plant spies in the main world later.

With various thoughts in mind, Lu Li gradually arrived at the No. 3 Settlement. However, before entering the settlement, he needed to find some clothes; being completely naked would be too conspicuous.

There will be another update later, but it might be a little late.
