My Cell Prison-Chapter 1247 - 1246: Heirloom Treasure

"Stirring the pot," Han Dong had heard the phrase before.

In his life as a professor, he was well aware of the importance of specialization.

As a professor in the field of Cellular Biology, if Han Dong were to tackle pharmacokinetics, he probably wouldn’t do as well as a common lecturer.

From the moment he received his exclusive scenario, Han Dong never intended to use the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic] against Academician Du.

Supported by the Epic Equipment—Skull of Abyssal Blood (Broken) that belonged to the master of the Blood Oath, Rorg Horen, and paired with the Count’s Ancestor Body, the Bloodhound’s strength was sufficient to threaten most Return Ancestor Demons.

Unbeknownst to Du Zhijing, the wide open maw swallowed him instantly.

An instant kill was entirely possible.

But.

Boom!

Several severed Tentacles scattered in all directions.

Du Zhijing altered the flow of Corpse Energy within his body and, using a technique similar to the bone shrinking technique, blasted a hole in the side of the Bloodhound’s mouth and wriggled out, saving his own life.

Although it looked like he made the best choice in a short time, averting devoration, Du Zhijing was far from being in good condition.

His Body Trunk was pierced in multiple places by canine teeth, leaving behind twisted and turning tooth holes.

Between the wounds, tiny Tentacles grew densely, further damaging Du Zhijing’s body.

The worst was.

An invisible pollution had begun to affect Du Zhijing’s consciousness; even as a zombie, he could not avoid it.

Pollution from the Demon, something no life in any world could resist.

When battling with a Demon, one had to be prepared to fend off pollution... otherwise, if the battle could not be ended swiftly, both body and consciousness would completely fall and become a low-rank evil during the fight.

Indelible traces of pollution appeared around Du Zhijing’s eye sockets.

His consciousness was also filled with whispers older than the Tomb World itself.

Forcing Du Zhijing to quickly distance himself, he stared at the young man before him with the eyes of one scrutinizing a monster.

"You... you’re not from this country! Such abhorrent powers, not even the Demon Region has ever witnessed them."

"Indeed, how could a local understand the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic] you’ve authored?

I just came to visit your Corpse; I didn’t expect to gain such a harvest... I’ll take those ancestral memories etched in your brain."

Han Dong didn’t want to linger here too long or cause too much commotion.

Firepower, full throttle.

"Chen Li, Togu... go.

Nicole, work with me to amplify the pollution attribute."

Swoosh!

Several large Octopus Tentacles sprouted from his back, and Han Dong also shed his shirt revealing numerous Deep Sea runes on his skin, creating a peculiar visual effect.

To Du Zhijing, it seemed as though he were sinking into the deep sea just by looking at Han Dong.

In his eyes.

The young man before him had become an Indescribable Deep-sea monster, existing somewhere between the dark abyss’s reality and illusion.

Among the mass of Tentacles hid a ’Deep-sea Diver’ that could not be described in words, and one that would drive a person into Madness upon a clear sight.

The more he watched.

The clearer the whispers lingering in Du Zhijing’s mind became... he even felt several sticky Tentacles probing into his skull, ready to drag his brain to the depths of the sea at any moment.

Even with hundreds of years of life experience, he struggled to come to terms with this reality.

"What kind of monster are you!"

By uttering these words, it also meant that Du Zhijing’s mental defenses had cracked.

At the same moment.

Togu, covered in iron spikes, and Miss Chen Li, with her black hair shielding her face, appeared one after the other.

...

However.

The battle took quite a bit longer to conclude than expected.

It lasted a full hour.

Miss Chen Li, freshly promoted and brimming with confidence, also fell into a somewhat self-contained state, hacking away at the wall of the Inner Palace.

She, who had always prided herself on her sensitivity, found it difficult to hit her target during the battle.

Every time the knife edge was about to cut into the body, it was easily neutralized by Du Zhijing.

However, Togu was in the same situation.

The iron chains and a series of hell magic spells were unable to hit the target, only managing to inflict a small amount of pain with spells.

The reason for Academician Du’s defeat stemmed from the complete exhaustion of his "last breath."

No matter how peculiar his body was, no matter how the Floating Corpse Internal Classic could help him nullify any damage, the fundamental corruption from the demon could not be avoided.

In the last second of his strength.

Du Zhijing’s expression was filled with unwillingness, as if he did not want to admit that Han Dong, this monster, had defeated him.

"How strong!

Involved with the origin of "The Tombs" world’s Corpse Collection, to be able to refine the body to this extent, even Chen Li’s successive attacks could be dissipated... Interesting!"

Crack~

A tentacle burrowed out from the palm of the hand.

Han Dong planned to steal the inherited memories engraved in Du Zhijing’s brain.

But.

Just as the tentacle barely touched the scalp.

Rustle rustle rustle~ In just two seconds, the corpse disintegrated into powder.

Du Zhijing should have died hundreds of years ago but remained alive through special means with a last breath.

Upon awakening, instead of receiving any "corpse oil" replenishment, the body engaged in an intense battle, causing it to surpass its tolerance limits by several, even ten, times... disintegrating upon touch.

Ding~

However... A lustrous black bead fell to the ground.

"What’s this?"

As Han Dong was curious, a system prompt came:

"Detected the death of an important character - [Du Zhijing].

Exclusive reward: ’Floating Corpse Bead’ has been dropped from the body, please pick it up to check the related information."

’Floating Corpse Bead’

Type: Fate Inheritance Item

Introduction: An inheritance left by the creation life of "The Tombs," which can store experience value related to the bead, and at the end, spend equivalent points to take it back to the main world and have it inherited by the main body.

Function: Body Trunk Amplification Type

Usage Conditions: Limited to participants who have cultivated the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic] in "The Tombs" world.

...

When he heard about the bead’s introduction.

An irrepressible mad laugh bubbled up, filling the sealed Inner Palace with riotous laughter for a full five minutes before it quieted down.

After being introduced by Du Zhijing, Han Dong realized the excellence of the Floating Corpse Internal Classic.

Moreover, the cultivation method itself had certain compatibility with the Black Vortex Trunk.

Han Dong was considering, by the end of the event, how to integrate the Floating Corpse Internal Classic into the Black Vortex Trunk.

"I didn’t expect to get it so easily... I’m starting to like this fate mechanism provided by the Black Tower more and more."

After a short rearrangement, he left the Inner Palace.

Although the system had completely sealed off the Inner Palace, an hour-long battle still caused quite a stir on the outside.

"What’s going on!? What exactly did you do in the Inner Palace?" demanded Yan Quan, the person in charge of the Earth Evil Palace, and a Brocade Robe Guard, as he hurriedly asked.

Han Dong couldn’t be bothered to explain anything and directly placed the ’Death Jade’ gently on the man, whispering:

"I should be able to do whatever I want... Academician Du just underwent a corpse change, and considering the safety of the Imperial Palace, I took it upon myself to kill him.

The body has turned to ash. If there are any issues, you can report to the Emperor.

Sir Yan, let’s move on... to the next location."

"Okay..."

Though he addressed him as Sir Yan.

Sir Yan followed behind Han Dong like an attendant, leaving together.
