Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 856 - 153:

Dreams are a highly peculiar environment, capable of magnifying a sliver of reality infinitely.

The thread of causality is similarly magnified in this dream.

This feeling is very much like when Li Zhiyuan foolishly tried to predict his own fate, only to bleed from the nose and faint directly.

This is a brilliant array environment that even the most skilled Array Master cannot arrange.

Even if Li Zhiyuan was given enough time and resources, he couldn't set up this layout, because it simply isn't feasible.

When Jiang Shui is brought in here, the development of the event is no longer subject to human interference.

In short,

Dream Ghost,

it also brought that big turtle from the seabed into the dream.

This is also why Li Zhiyuan has been holding back laughter, because it's just too funny.

The three of Run Sheng spoke once again:

"I can exit."

Li Zhiyuan continued not to respond.

In his mind, he was thinking:

Don't,

Don't rush,

Wait a little longer,

I still want to see Emperor Fengdu.

Li Zhiyuan lowered his head, forcibly holding in a breath.

All his life, since he could remember, he had only managed to feign a smile or barely squeeze out a little when not pretending, and had never truly suppressed laughter.

Now, he experienced that feeling.

Just like his Grandmaster's mocking catchphrase to others:

"You might as well go home and sleep, you have everything in your dreams!"

...

On the small river, a man nearing fifty was propelling a small boat.

A shovel, a bundle of nets, and a large bamboo basket lay on the boat, but he wasn't there to fish or dig for crabs.

The elderly man sniffed the air, his gaze cautiously scanning around.

He had been searching for a long time, yet had not found anything.

To the extent that he felt a bit of regret in his heart, thinking he should have called the lad living with Shinan to join him, as it seemed things would find more easily with him around.

The reason for not seeking him out was that whenever he was there, bad luck seemed to follow, while he always looked unaffected.

"Creak… Creak..."

Lu Shan heard the sound.

He slowed the boat, gently opening up the reeds ahead with a bamboo pole.

He saw a hole the size of a washbasin, from which came a sound similar to an animal gnawing.

Lu Shan swallowed, bringing the boat ashore.

Then he picked up the items and disembarked, first placing a net at the edge of the hole, making a simple setup, after which he picked up the shovel and began to dig.

With each spade of soil turned, Lu Shan's breathing paused, because he was unsure when the thing inside would leap out.

Just then, the soil beneath Lu Shan began to collapse.

He immediately leaped aside, escaping the area.

A thick deathly aura emerged, and in front of Lu Shan appeared a female corpse, hair in disarray, covered in mud.

On the back of this corpse lay a male infant, less than a year old.

The male infant, eyes closed, tightly wrapped its arms around the female corpse as it gnawed on its neck, the earlier gnawing sound originating from its munching.

Lu Shan gripped his Yellow River Shovel tightly, eyes wide with shock: "Corpse birthing a child?"

But soon, he noticed something amiss, as the corpse kept extending its arms, trying to grab the male infant on its back, extremely agitated and furious.

Only because the joints of this corpse seemed to have nails hammered in, its limbs couldn't spread properly, leaving it helpless against the male infant on its back.

However, the fact that the male infant could, in such a situation, even when dragged through the muddy hole, not be flung off and continue gnawing, was extraordinary.

Seeing Lu Shan, the corpse lunged at him, seemingly wanting to vent its fury on someone.

Lu Shan didn't engage directly but chose to maneuver around it.

Eventually, he found an opening, splashing a bag of black dog blood onto the corpse, which screamed, body trembling.

The male infant on the corpse's back screamed too, opening its eyes, which were entirely gray.

It seemed that the harm of the black dog blood further provoked the ferocity within the male infant, who more frantically bit into the corpse's neck.

"Crack!"

The corpse's neck split open.

Lu Shan seized the moment and slashed at the corpse's neck.

"Clatter!"

The corpse's head completely fell off, and the body collapsed, beginning to dissolve into slurry.

The male infant also fell down, rolling to Lu Shan's feet.

Lu Shan looked down at the male infant, who, seemingly full, placed its right thumb in its mouth, sucking obediently.

Additionally, the gray in the male infant's eyes was gradually fading, revealing normal pupils.

Seeing Lu Shan, the infant, still sucking on its finger, curled its lips into a smile.

Grandpa... Grandpa... Grandpa...

Emotionless, Lu Shan raised the shovel toward the male infant at his feet:

"You little monster, I cannot let you live!"

Run Sheng watched as the shovel came down hard, then heard the crisp sound of his own head getting smashed.

"Whew..."

Run Sheng suddenly awoke, finding himself sitting behind the stove, where the fire still burned. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

So it was a dream, Grandpa would never kill me.

Run Sheng habitually added a bit of firewood to the stove, the water had boiled, it was time to add the meat, which he should have done earlier, but it seemed he fell asleep while tending the stove.

He stood up, picked up the ladle, uncovered the pot, and added more water to it.

Since he was little, his family rarely ate meat, and going without meals was commonplace.
