Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 336 You Should Sign a Contract to Become an Indentured Seller Too

After listening to Cheng Feng's description, Yang Xueli immediately had an idea in her mind that perfectly matched this state of poisoning.

"It sounds a lot like a monster from American fantasy, a zombie, which can be translated as a resurrected corpse or a zombie."

Because of a thin layer of fog, the flashlight beams were limited, so everyone moved very slowly.

As Cheng Feng walked, he surveyed his surroundings. His eyesight was much better, and he planned to find a suitable place to set up camp first.

It would be easier to act when it's light.

The only sounds in the quiet woods were the footsteps and breathing of the group. Suddenly, beyond the reach of their flashlights...

A dark shadow flashed by and quickly disappeared into the woods.

"what?"

Chen Wenjin gasped and instinctively drew the pistol from his waist.

Blackie's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were fixed on the direction where the shadowy figure had disappeared. He said in a deep voice:

"It's a man. If what the boss said is true, then we may have encountered a real case."

"Ignore him for now, let's keep going."

Because the trees blocked his view, Cheng Feng could no longer see the person, but he could clearly hear the sound of his footsteps.

This time, Cheng Feng walked in front, and everyone crowded around him as they walked forward together.

After the group had walked a few dozen meters, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept in from the right side of the group, attacking Zhang Qiling at great speed.

Cheng Feng, who had already noticed this thing, made no move.

This guy was lucky; he won the lottery and got the second most difficult person in the team.

Because it only retained the instinct to eat, its attacks were haphazard, relying solely on its speed to pounce directly on Zhang Qiling.

Unable to draw his Black Gold Ancient Blade in time, Zhang Qiling could only turn and deliver a side kick.

With a muffled thud, the attacker was kicked three meters away and crashed into a thousand-year-old tree.

When he got up from the ground, everyone could see his face clearly.

This was a young man, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His clothes were somewhat tattered, suggesting he had been there for some time.

His exposed skin was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and blood was still flowing from his half-open mouth.

They looked like hungry hunting dogs.

"Give mute Zhang a quick death."

The blind man couldn't help but sigh. It was truly pitiful that even in death, the body couldn't rest.

Although Zhang Qiling didn't speak, he had already raised his hand and grasped the black gold ancient sword on his back.

Just as the youth lunged at him again, with a clang, the black gold ancient sword was drawn, its dark blade flashing across the youth's neck.

The next second, the youth's head rolled to the ground, and his body was thrown towards Zhang Qiling before he took two steps and collapsed to the ground.

Blood gushed out of the severed head as if it were free.

"This toxin is truly terrifying; it can even allow a person's body to maintain such a high level of activity after brain death."

Judging from the blood gushing from the body, the body was very healthy, at least much healthier than that of a normal office worker.

But his personality and memories have disappeared, and even if his body is healthy, it is useless.

"Let's go, the smell of blood is too strong here, we don't want to attract anything."

Walking through the poisonous fog, Hei Xiazi covered his mouth and nose with parchment. When he looked at the group, his resentment could be felt even through his sunglasses.

Everyone present except him was completely unaffected by the poisonous fog.

Needless to say, Cheng Feng and Zhang Qiling are both immune to all toxins, one is completely immune to all toxins, and the other has special blood that is not affected by the poisonous fog.

Chen Wenjin and the other two women had been communicating with Cheng Feng for many years, and their bodies had taken on Cheng Feng's shape.

The small amount of poisonous fog was no match for them.

Ah Xiang held the Heavenly Official Seal of the Tomb Raider in her hand, which was stained with Cheng Feng's blood and was much more effective than parchment.

Only the black bear, because the parchment was less effective, had to place it over its mouth and nose to protect against the poisonous fog.

"Don't look at me like that. When we find a place to rest later, I'll have Wenjin turn the parchment into a mask for you."

Cheng Feng glanced at Hei Xiazi and said.

"Boss, why don't you just put a red dot on it for me? The parchment is too thick; it's hard to breathe when it's over my mouth."

Because of the parchment covering his mouth, the bear spoke in a muffled, deep voice.

"Sure, but if you want me to bleed, you'd better be prepared to sell yourself into servitude with Zhang Qiling to pay off your debts."

"Then I'll just have to bear with it. At least I still get paid, unlike Zhang Qiling, who did just as much work and didn't miss out on a single penny."

Zhang Qiling's eyebrows twitched. If that blind man doesn't want to sell himself, he doesn't want to. Why did he have to drag me into this?

Cheng Feng and his group, though relaxed, remained vigilant and quickly found a suitable location to set up camp along the front line.

This is a cave with a narrow entrance, and the ground is clean and tidy, so much so that cleaning is unnecessary.

"Let's start the fire first, and prepare the seafood hot pot."

Cheng Feng tossed his backpack aside, took out portable fuel from the imaginary space, and handed it to Hei Xiazi.

The ingredients and the broth were readily available. After Zhang Qiling collected some dry wood branches from outside, a fire was quickly lit in the cave.

After setting up their sleeping bags, the seven of them sat around the fire, eagerly watching the seafood stew simmering on the fire.

Inside, Cheng Feng placed palm-sized mantis shrimp, a blue crab weighing over a pound, and abalone and oysters as garnishes.

Pigeon eggs and crab legs were all included.

The rich aroma makes your mouth water.

"Um...would you guys like to try this?"

As he spoke, Cheng Feng produced a struggling man-eating clam in his hand.

Everyone shook their heads in unison. Whoever wants to eat this monstrosity can eat it. Are the mantis shrimp in the pot not fragrant enough, or are the abalone and oysters too hot to handle?

"Alright, then I'll be the first to try it."

Cheng Feng wasn't discouraged that no one wanted to try the ingredients he had painstakingly harvested.

He placed the still-struggling biting clam, along with his own hand, onto the flames.

Soon, the biting clam stopped struggling.

Everyone found this inhumane scene very strange, as if someone were skewering meat on their fingers.

Then grill it over a charcoal stove.

Soon, the shell of the mantis clam began to turn red, and the clam meat inside was cooked.

Removing his hand from the fire, Cheng Feng dug out the clam meat without saying a word and put it in his mouth to chew.

After swallowing the clam meat in his mouth, Cheng Feng silently took out another biting clam.

When Cheng Feng ate five man-eating clams, everyone couldn't sit still anymore.

"Honey, what does this taste like?"

Huo Ling moved closer to Cheng Feng and asked, seemingly out of curiosity.

Cheng Feng tossed the shell, now devoured of its flesh, aside, swallowed the clam meat in his mouth, and said:

"To describe it in one sentence, it's abalone with the fresh taste of oysters."

Cheng Feng was also pleasantly surprised, not expecting that this biting clam would be so promising.

Not only has it developed a texture similar to abalone, but it has also retained a texture similar to oysters and scallops.

This tastes absolutely amazing, and it might even have aphrodisiac effects.

"Is it really that delicious? Honey, I want to try it."
