However, what Mu Jinyu currently needed were talismans capable of resisting intangible demons like the impending disaster and the Tide of Chaos.
Therefore, such crude work, which Mu Jinyu would have once dismissed without a second glance, had now beco necessary to keep and distribute to each of his brothers.
"Here, you take these first and wear them. Don't mind the ugliness; at least for now, these magic artifacts can fend off demon erosion much more effectively than your original ones,"
After finishing four Gold Inlaid Jade Magical Instrunts, Mu Jinyu handed them over to Gu Xiyan and the others.
"We wouldn't disdain them, how could we?"
Gu Xiyan and the rest of the won excitedly accepted the magic artifacts that Mu Jinyu handed over, expressing their delight.
Although the Gold Inlaid Jade Magical Instrunts made by Mu Jinyu were indeed crudely fabricated, with everything so dark and chaotic, who would complain?
They were far more appealing to them than the so-called flawlessly crafted, exorbitantly priced jewelry.
Besides, these were made by Mu Jinyu himself.
Having gone through a life-and-death parting with Mu Jinyu, they cherished their ti with him even more, and they would treasure anything given by Mu Jinyu, regardless of its value.
Seeing the expressions of the four won, Mu Jinyu felt both comforted and remorseful.
Afterward, he stopped overthinking and continued to focus on making the Gold Inlaid Jade Magical Instrunts.
...
While Mu Jinyu was crafting the magical instrunts,
at the Dragon King Hall headquarters,
in the underground storage,
a dozen n carried the Golden Coffin along a dark and narrow passage towards an even darker depth.
The farther they walked inside, the more they could feel the thinning and suffocation of the oxygen.
If it were an ordinary person walking here, they would have fainted from lack of oxygen.
But the people from Dragon King Hall, whose strength ranged from Minor Dark Energy to the Peak, could barely hold their breath, carrying the Golden Coffin to the innermost part of the storage.
They had to be careful lest soone entered and damaged the sealed coffin, which would be disastrous.
It's apparent from the frown on the face of the returning Dragon King after seeing the pool of Corpse Water left by the Zombie Demon, that this Zombie Demon was not any less terrifying than the demons ntioned before, like the Nursery Rhy, Midnight Knock, or Urgent Calls from Relatives and Friends.
Soon, the n reached the end of the passage and saw a heavy door made of special tal.
This door, upon testing, could withstand rocket fire and was tough enough that even tanks could not break through it, ensuring extre security for the Golden Coffin placed inside.
"Clang!"
After setting down the heavy coffin, soone went to unlock the door, and after so effort, they finally managed to open it.
"Cough, cough..."
As soon as the door opened, a nasty sll of mold, dampness, and decay hit them straight in the face, causing a series of coughs.
"Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer; let's just throw this cursed thing in there."
A few choked for a while, feeling dizzy and unable to bear it any longer, they hastily called others to place the coffin inside.
The group shook their heads to clear them and then hoisted the coffin, placing it into the dark inner chamber.
The air was even thinner inside and everyone felt uncomfortable. As soon as the coffin was put down, they hurried towards the exit.
"Hey, Ah-Huang, what are you dawdling for?"
The captain, ready to close the door, noticed soone still standing in front of the coffin, swaying as if about to fall.
"Good grief, you can't handle it already? Soone go in and help him out," the captain said, exasperated.
Everyone else was just as speechless and hurried back in to support Ah-Huang out.
"Captain, thanks. I was so dizzy I could hardly breathe," Ah-Huang shook his head to clear it, his eyes regaining focus, and thanked the captain.
"We're teammates, no need to be polite." The team leader courteously said and then locked the door, calling out, "Let's move quickly. By the ti we get there, the Dragon King will have probably crafted quite a few magic artifacts, so we won't have to worry about our will being eroded by that pervasive disaster."
"Alright." Everyone replied with excitent.
As for Ah-Huang, his face was pale, and he smiled blandly.
At that mont, his smile seed sowhat eerie and chilling, as if a corpse was laughing.
But those around him, due to the dim lighting, failed to notice this.
Afterward, the group hurried along the corridor toward the exit.
Once everyone had left, the corridor once again beca deathly still.
Inside the closed door.
The sealed golden coffin.
No one noticed that the surface of the coffin had been clawed into by five finger-shaped holes.
Cold, rotting stenches started leaking out through those small openings.
As for the zombie demon lying inside the golden coffin, it was temporarily unable to move because it was suppressed by the gold and restrained by an evil-suppressing talisman.
However, judging by the faint sounds of corpse water flowing, perhaps it wouldn't be long before it would erge again.
But at that mont, the oblivious crowd hadn't discovered anything wrong.
...
After sealing away the golden coffin, the people from Dragon King Hall.
Spent another fifteen minutes before walking out, breathing in the fresh air, they once again felt that the world was beautiful.
If only there wasn't the layer of dark azure smog enveloping above, making the sky indiscernibly dark, it would be even better.
Fearing that this little delay might cause their will to be eroded by the pervasive disaster, they dared not dawdle.
After a brief pause, they imdiately ran towards Mu Jinyu's location.
By the ti they arrived, Mu Jinyu had already created dozens of Gold Inlaid with Jade Magical Instrunts.
And sitting beside him, were hundreds of Dragon King Hall mbers who had heard the news and co over.
They were all eagerly staring at the magic artifacts in Mu Jinyu's hands, hoping to get their hands on them quickly to avoid the poison of the pervasive disaster.
Seeing this, Ah-Huang and his companions felt a twinge of anxiety, fearing they would have to queue again for the magic artifacts because they were out on a mission, they hurriedly approached Mu Jinyu.
"Dragon Master, the mission has been completed."
They stood up straight and gave a military salute, their voices resounding with a report.
"Hmm." Mu Jinyu glanced at the team leader from Star Lord of Xingxiu, flicked his finger, and a stream of True Qi slashed across the back of his hand. Seeing the crimson blood erging, he tossed a Gold Inlaid Jade Magical Instrunt and said, "Wear it."
Then, Mu Jinyu checked the blood of each of the team mbers who had just carried the coffin. In the end, one person had black blood, while the others, including Ah-Huang, all tested normal.
"His... his blood, why is it black?" People cried out in shock when they saw the color of that person's blood.
Mu Jinyu sighed lightly and handed that person a Gold Inlaid Jade Magical Instrunt, saying, "You wear this for now. Although I'm not sure if it can suppress the strangeness within your body, wearing it adds an extra layer of protection. For the ti being, you should isolate yourself from others."
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, everyone imdiately understood that his blood turning black ant he had been corrupted by the pervasive disaster.
They hurriedly distanced themselves from him, and began to cut their own hands to check if their blood had any issues.
This check revealed that about a dozen people had already been corrupted by the pervasive disaster. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novèlfire
Mu Jinyu watched all this, his heart filled with a soft sigh.
He knew that so of these people might have been corrupted by the disaster upon his return, but others could have been affected while he was crafting the magic artifacts.
But there was nothing he could do; the crafting process was slow, and there was no way to protect them in ti.
