#173 - Chapter 173: The Power of Corpse Demon, Seven Pieces of Armor

Everyone who saw the scene didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Ergou, however, recognized these people as the ones he had rescued.

He really didn't expect these people to come and see him, thinking they still had some conscience.

Originally, he had a little strength and wanted to sit up, but he simply lay still, showing a weak and feeble appearance, and looked at those people.

The Confucian scholar and the important figure immediately walked up to Li Ergou and comforted him, "Don't move, your injuries are too serious. We didn't expect you to have such great courage at such a young age. Li Ergou, you saved us and made a great contribution. Don't worry, we will all remember you. After we return this time, we will request merit for you."

Li Ergou was smug in his heart, but suddenly thought of the corpse demon, and immediately took out the corpse demon's body, along with the original corpse core. After all, this thing contained powerful corpse energy, which was of no use to him.

He pretended to be in great pain and said, "I managed to kill the corpse demon too."

When everyone heard this, and then looked at the corpse demon's body on the ground, they were all stunned in place, looking at Li Ergou with disbelief. The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze.

In an instant, the Confucian scholar reacted. He asked suspiciously, "Just… just like that? Boy, how did you kill her? Even if she was seriously injured, you shouldn't have been able to kill her."

Li Ergou naturally knew that these people wouldn't believe him if he told the truth, so he had already thought of an explanation. He then slowly said, "Speaking of which, you might not believe it, and I didn't expect it to be like this. At first, I was chased by the corpse demon with no way to go to heaven or earth. At that time, I thought I was going to die.

I thought it would be good to take one last look at my hometown before I died, so I took her back to my old home.

Who knew that when we passed a big pit, a huge force suddenly erupted from the pit.

The corpse demon and I were swept into it by this force. Afterwards, I don't know what happened, but the corpse demon's body actually turned into a pile of minced meat. When I saw this good opportunity, I used all my strength and chopped her in half with my pig-slaughtering knife, killing her in a daze."

Everyone felt that this statement was too magical, but Li Ergou had no reason to lie. It was just that the pit was very strange, and there might be an unknown existence inside.

The Confucian scholar and the important figure looked at the corpse demon's body and checked the corpse pearl. It was accurate and correct. After a moment of silence, they were naturally filled with endless joy. It was just that this accident came too suddenly, and it took a long time for them to react.

The Confucian scholar and the important figure comforted Li Ergou, and then left with the corpse and the corpse pearl. Chen Bajin saw this opportunity and immediately squeezed in. When he saw Li Ergou's current appearance, he quickly took out some good healing medicine.

He hurriedly said, "Brother, you're amazing. You've made another great contribution. I have to go back with our boss. I think you'll be promoted soon. I'll wait for you in Yucheng."

Li Ergou wanted to communicate with Chen Bajin, but he didn't expect this guy to be in such a hurry and turn around and leave. Li Ergou was speechless in his heart, thinking that he was too anxious. Moreover, these big shots didn't even leave him some healing pills, which was too unkind.

He was quite speechless in his heart, and even a little angry.

Ye Wanwan didn't think about those things. She directly sprinkled the medicinal powder that Chen Bajin had brought on Li Ergou's body. It had to be said that this medicinal powder was good. Li Ergou's wounds visibly grew some flesh buds.

The people from Yucheng left, the corpse demon was also dead, and the villagers of Kushui County also began to leave the county seat and return to their homes. After the corpse disaster, the most feared thing was the plague, so the yamen was very busy during this period, so busy that they were in a terrible state. Only Li Ergou was such an idle person, lying comfortably at home to recuperate.

In order to make his injuries heal faster, Li Ergou asked Ye Wanwan to kill a chicken and stew it for him to eat every day. It had to be said that he was very grateful to this girl during this period. She took care of him meticulously every day. Li Ergou also felt what it was like to be taken care of for the first time, and it was really good.

Of course, the girl also had a good fortune, and she ate very well with Li Ergou every day.

Time passed little by little. Because of the special energy, Li Ergou's injuries healed very quickly. The newly grown flesh and blood fused with countless mysterious gases, making his flesh and blood more solid than ever.

On this day, just as Ye Wanwan left, Li Ergou sat up. He took out the copied corpse core, his eyes full of joy. After being copied by the bronze mirror, the corpse energy inside had almost completely disappeared, turning into pure magic power.

Even so, Li Ergou didn't dare to directly absorb the energy of this thing to cultivate. However, he had a plan, which was to use this thing to refine the Xuanwu armor. This battle made him realize the importance of the Xuanwu armor even more.

If he had a more solid Xuanwu armor at the beginning, he wouldn't have been so miserable.

Without thinking too much, he began to absorb the energy in the corpse pearl and refine it into the Xuanwu armor.

Refining the Xuanwu armor required a very large amount of energy. As Li Ergou began to refine it, countless energies gathered and began to be refined by him little by little. The armor plates of the Xuanwu armor began to be conceived again.

Li Ergou was glad in his heart that if it weren't for the energy of this corpse pearl, perhaps he wouldn't be able to continue to sacrifice this Xuanwu armor even after cultivating for a long time. It should be known that the more pieces of armor there were, the stronger the defense would be.

Time passed little by little. Early the next morning, Li Ergou looked at the three more Xuanwu armor pieces and was extremely happy in his heart. At this moment, his Xuanwu armor had changed from the previous four pieces to the current seven pieces. Although the corpse pearl was powerful, it could only refine three Xuanwu armor pieces, which showed how much energy the Xuanwu armor consumed.

With these seven Xuanwu armor pieces, he could simultaneously defend against attacks from the front and back, and its defense had also increased a lot. This time, even if he encountered a powerful guy like the corpse demon again, he probably wouldn't be so embarrassed.

He was happy in his heart, put away the Xuanwu armor, and stood up. After these days of recuperation, he had completely recovered.

When he came outside, the black cat, black beard, and chicken king saw Li Ergou and ran over happily, being very affectionate to him. After this corpse disaster, the few guys had become even more powerful.

Li Ergou encouraged them and saw Ye Wanwan coming on time.

Seeing this woman, Li Ergou smiled and said, "You're here. What delicious things have you brought me today?"

Ye Wanwan glared at him and said, "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly reacted and said with a look of surprise, "Eh, are you better?"

Li Ergou smiled and said, "I'm better. Look, I'm completely better. Not only that, but I feel that my strength has also improved a little."

Ye Wanwan said happily, "That's great. You don't know, during the time you weren't at the county yamen, they would ask me about you every day. Let's go, let's go. The county lieutenant also told me that as soon as you get better, you should report to the county yamen immediately. There are good things."
