Zhao Ke's other hand was behind Zhou Shun's back, and "pupupu!" several knives went down along his spine. "Chii" Fresh blood sprayed out from the crimson groove on the dagger, and Zhou Shun's body shuddered before collapsing completely in Zhao Ke's arms.
"Hey, what are you doing down there?" Qi Liang lay beside the trap, seeing Bear Two already beyond saving, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He slumped on the ground like a deflated balloon, weakly watching Zhao Ke below, feeling puzzled, wanting to see what this man had been up to.
But Qi Liang quickly regretted it. He saw Zhao Ke fiddling with Bear Two's body for a while, then actually climbed up holding two large bear paws, saying, "Roast bear paws, want some?"
"No no no... I don't want any," Qi Liang immediately shook his head, although he was indeed very hungry, but looking at the two bloody paws, he completely lost his appetite.
"As you wish," Zhao Ke found two vines and tied up the bear paws. The bear's paws were thick and coarse, and squeezing them felt firm and meaty, indicating that the meat was probably very good.
In Zhao Ke's eyes, these bear paws were simply top-notch ingredients that were hard to come by in the world, the kind of thing you couldn't buy even if you were rich.
"Do you already know there's a trap here?" Seeing Zhao Ke busy tidying up the bear paws, Qi Liang couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't know, but when I looked at the map earlier, I noticed that the east side of the map, which is here, was circled in red with a pen. At the time, I didn't know what that meant, so I could only bring you over here first, and later I found out there was a trap here." Zhao Ke didn't lie to Qi Liang this time, and in fact, it was true. It's just that Zhao Ke didn't expect that under this trap, there were actually two living people.
But now, with one dead and one escaped, all that remained below were a bear and two corpses.
Zhao Ke looked at Qi Liang and confirmed that he seemed to have not received any messages. His thoughts about the mission were also confirmed.
"I received a prompt that the mission is complete, so I'm planning to leave. What about you?" Even though he had passed out earlier, Qi Liang received a message about completing his mission after waking up.
Zhao Ke nodded. "Then you go first, I'll take a stroll."
"Stroll? It seems that what Chen Jing said is right, you're just a psychopath." Qi Liang regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking, only to see Zhao Ke raise his eyebrows. His eyes carefully scrutinized Qi Liang from top to bottom, the eerie gaze making Qi Liang feel a shiver down his spine, and goosebumps couldn't help but rise.
But fortunately, after a moment, Zhao Ke finally withdrew his gaze, patting off the dirt on his body. "You should go back now. Oh, by the way, next time... don't let me encounter such a kind-hearted person like you again."
After saying that, Zhao Ke dropped Qi Liang and turned to walk towards the direction he had come from. When Qi Liang tasted Zhao Ke's words, he turned around to take a look, only to see Zhao Ke's figure already far away, leaving only a solitary figure.
Seeing this, Qi Liang hurriedly shouted, "Hey... My phone number is 1503795XXXX, what's yours?"
"Contact again!" Zhao Ke didn't answer Qi Liang, just said to contact again, and he had already walked far away.
Seeing this, Qi Liang couldn't help scratching his head, silently reciting the return to reality process, his body gradually becoming nothingness, disappearing into the air like Scarface had before.
Buzz...
Pushing open the door covered with illusions, a sharp and sour sound, causing dust to fall from the ceiling beams, inevitably making people wonder how much longer this house could hold up.
Especially after Bear Two pushed against one of the walls, Zhao Ke now felt like the house was tilted.
Upon entering, the pungent smell of blood and the chaotic scene in the house were simply unbearable.
The wood charcoal under the stove had already burned to ashes, occasionally showing faint sparks underneath, and the pot on top had been overturned onto the ground.
Seeing bones and chunks of meat scattered all over the floor, Zhao Ke couldn't help feeling a pang of regret. Even though the meat was a bit old, it was still carefully prepared.
As for Chen Jing... It seemed that she had been vented by Bear Two's rage again. Looking at the blood splattered around and the unidentifiable pieces of flesh, Zhao Ke believed that even the best tailor couldn't piece together Chen Jing's body now.
"It's real!"
Crawling under the bed and taking a careful look, Zhao Ke did see the box Zhou Shun had mentioned. After carefully opening the box, he saw that it contained a piece of black bear fur. The shiny black fur was as thick as pine needles and felt very soft and comfortable to the touch.
However, what disappointed Zhao Ke was that besides this piece of bear fur, there were only some scattered silver inside the box.
"Is this all there is?" Zhao Ke took the bear fur in his hand and, looking at the mess of corpses and flesh around him, suddenly realized, "Heh, it's all about black market dealings."
Zhou Shun's meaning was that in this year of disaster with no harvest, even the prey in the mountains had become scarce. He believed that Bear Two's family was also struggling, so he spread the news to lure people here to their deaths.
As for the treasure mentioned by Zhou Shun, it was obviously just a decoy.
Just as Zhao Ke was disappointed with the treasure in the box, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His palm felt numb, and when he looked down, he saw that the bear fur was gone from his hand.
What made Zhao Ke feel a chill down his spine was that thick black hair was growing on his hand.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the layer of black hair on his palm, Zhao Ke's expression changed. He quickly stood up from the bed, but at this moment, the prompt sound rang out again.
"You have obtained a special item, Bear Clothing."
"Due to your completion of the main mission and obtaining a special item, postal privileges will be opened early."
"Postal Explanation: You can convert the items you obtain into stamps and store them in the postal book."
"Basic Postal Book: 50 stamp slots."
"Equipped with special stamps, you can obtain stamp abilities."
A series of prompt sounds made Zhao Ke somewhat stunned. He sat back on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and digested the contents of these messages in his mind.
After digesting a large amount of information in his mind, Zhao Ke opened his eyes, and a bronze-colored postal book appeared in his hand.
As soon as the postal book appeared, the black hair on Zhao Ke's palm quickly began to recede and turned into a black mist, which was sucked into the postal book.
Zhao Ke opened the postal book and indeed, just as the prompts indicated, he saw a stamp stuck on the first page of the book.
With black metallic borders and a dark green background, a piece of bear fur hung in the center of the stamp, with additional information about the stamp below.
Special Stamp: Bear Clothing
Collecting this stamp can double your own strength.
Special Effect: Bear Transformation
Consuming 1 postal point can rapidly increase your strength threefold, lasting for 15 minutes.
Cooldown Time: 3 hours
Seeing the information below the stamp, Zhao Ke's eyes lit up. He pointed his finger at a corner of the bed and exerted some force. With a "bang!" sound, a large piece of wood splintered from the thick bed.
However, Zhao Ke felt that he hadn't used much strength, yet he had achieved this result. If he activated the Bear Transformation and gained three times the strength, then the power of a single punch would be terrifying, at least something an ordinary person couldn't withstand.
At this moment, Zhao Ke picked up the scattered silver from the box and placed it in his hand. With a thought, he said, "Transform!"
The scattered silver quickly disappeared, and in his postal book, another white stamp appeared, with additional information added beside it.
Regular Stamp: Silver Pieces (Three Liang equals one Qian)
Zhao Ke nodded, then waved his hand, and the silver pieces reappeared in his hand.
Suddenly, Zhao Ke finally understood why Scarface could magically produce a gold ingot. He hadn't expected it to be so simple.
"Since these things can be transformed, then..."
Half-squinting his eyes, Zhao Ke looked at the corpses beside him, with a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes as if he had discovered a new continent, becoming excited.
