Chapter 1 The Most Reliable Method

Qiao Yu knew that the safest course of action was to take advantage of the disappearance of the Giant Corpse God’s killing intent and quickly find a way to escape this world of the dead.

However, the idea of hoodwinking the Giant Corpse God, once formed in Qiao Yu's mind, wouldn't go away.

If nothing else, what if he actually succeeded?

As the saying goes, riches are found in danger; the timid starve, and the bold eat their fill. Qiao Yu immediately made up his mind.

"Ahem!"

Under the Giant Corpse God's surprised gaze, Qiao Yu cleared his throat and then spoke.

"Corpse God, right? Then I'll call you Little Shi."

Qiao Yu said with a smile, then continued.

"Look, I'm not from the Underworld, but you misunderstood and grabbed me directly. Aren't you in the wrong first?"

The Giant Corpse God thought for a moment, then nodded his huge head.

"Putting aside the facts, since you're in the wrong first, doesn't that mean you've wronged me and owe me something? Shouldn't you compensate me?" Qiao Yu continued to coax the giant.

The Giant Corpse God felt like something wasn't quite right, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He could only continue to nod and ask in a muffled voice.

"What compensation do you want?"

"It's simple!" Qiao Yu grinned. This was the moment he had been waiting for. "Let me stand on your shoulder and carry me back to that mountain of corpses."

"Just that simple?"

The Giant Corpse God was even more puzzled. He had thought Qiao Yu would make some excessive demand. He had been thinking that if the condition was too outrageous, he would slap this chattering fly to death. But he didn't expect that Qiao Yu's condition would be so simple.

Now it was difficult for him to refuse.

"Yes! Just carry me back step by step." Qiao Yu grinned.

"Alright!"

The Giant Corpse God released the Scholar Ghost and then placed Qiao Yu on his shoulder.

With his height and size, Qiao Yu sitting on his shoulder was no different from a doll.

If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even see Qiao Yu.

Then, without delay, the Giant Corpse God strode off in the direction of the corpse mountain.

The surrounding lava bubbled and gurgled, and scorching hot air spread around.

The Giant Corpse God seemed not to see the lava at all, stepping directly into it with one foot, and then continuing forward.

His greenish-blue skin seemed to have extremely strong defensive power, and the lava in this world of the dead couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

Qiao Yu clicked his tongue in amazement, but his focus wasn't on the Giant Corpse God. His eyes were fixed on the front.

"I must run into one or two, or I'll have risked my life to fool this big guy for nothing..."

As if aware of the Giant Corpse God’s terrifying presence, Qiao Yu didn’t encounter any undead creatures along the way, which made him a little anxious.

As the Giant Corpse God advanced, the surrounding lava became more and more intense.

A humanoid creature soaking in the lava came into Qiao Yu's view.

This humanoid creature was covered in cracks like dried lava, and flames could be faintly seen flowing within the cracks.

Qiao Yu was overjoyed. Wasn't this the Purgatory Corpse King that Professor Shen had summoned that day?

Legendary undead creatures like the Purgatory Corpse King have their own consciousness and intelligence.

Therefore, necromancers who want to summon such undead creatures to fight for them

Either use a contract summoning, signing an equal contract with these intelligent undead creatures; or subdue the other party and sign a subjugation contract.

The Purgatory Corpse King also noticed the enormous Giant Corpse God, and he was immediately shocked.

This guy was a forbidden-level existence, usually staying in the core area, not moving. Why did he suddenly go crazy and run out today?

The Purgatory Corpse King muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to say a word, and immediately lowered his head respectfully.

It was no different for the Giant Corpse God to slap him to death than it was to slap a fly, so how could he dare to challenge him?

"Big Brother Corpse God, I'm old friends with this Purgatory Corpse King. I didn't expect to have the chance to meet him again this time. Can I trouble you for a few minutes to catch up with him?" Qiao Yu rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

"Okay, hurry up."

The Giant Corpse God didn't think much and nodded in agreement.

Having obtained the Giant Corpse God's consent, Qiao Yu suddenly jumped off the Giant Corpse God's shoulder and slapped the Purgatory Corpse King, directly stunning him.

"So you're the Purgatory Corpse King?"

"You!"

The Purgatory Corpse King was furious. This human in front of him was like an ant in his eyes. He didn't even need to use his full strength to crush the other party to death.

A terrifying aura flowed out from the Purgatory Corpse King's body.

But he didn't dare to act. What he feared was naturally not Qiao Yu, but the Giant Corpse God behind Qiao Yu.

In the world of the dead, the weak are prey to the strong. If he angered the Giant Corpse God, he would deserve to die.

Not understanding the relationship between Qiao Yu and the Giant Corpse God, the Purgatory Corpse King could only force himself to endure his anger and reveal a flattering smile.

"You're joking. How would I dare to call myself a king in front of that one? Just call me Little Lian."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qiao Yu, emboldened by his powerful backer, was overjoyed. His previous idea was indeed feasible.

What he wanted was to use the Giant Corpse God as a backer to subdue as many beings in the world of the dead as possible who were weaker than the Giant Corpse God.

"Comrade Little Lian, it's not that I'm saying this, but you're just too blind!"

Qiao Yu shook his head, then glanced furtively around, reached out and put his arm around the Purgatory Corpse King's arm, and led him to the side.

The Purgatory Corpse King glanced at the arm resting on his shoulder. Although he felt disgusted, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Comrade Little Lian, don't think I just slapped you. I was actually saving you!"

Qiao Yu was tearful and sincere, as if he had really put in a lot of effort for the Purgatory Corpse King.

"Saving me?" The Purgatory Corpse King was a little confused, but he wasn't as easily fooled as the Giant Corpse God. "What does hitting me have to do with saving me?"

"Don't you understand?" Qiao Yu was mysterious, and then turned to look at the Giant Corpse God, and said in a low voice. "Haven't you ever wondered why the Giant Corpse God suddenly walked out of the core area?"

The Purgatory Corpse King was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

Logically speaking, forbidden-level undead creatures were already the undisputed top of the food chain in the world of the dead. Basically, unless someone invaded the world of the dead, they couldn't be disturbed at all.

A forbidden-level undead creature walking out of the core area, could it be...

Countless possibilities flashed through the Purgatory Corpse King's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his body began to tremble.

Qiao Yu also showed a satisfied smile.

Many people are like this. You only need to give them a hint, and they will involuntarily start to think wildly and over-interpret your meaning.

For example, a pretty female classmate comes to your house with toys to find you.

The tutor's speech today is a bit abnormal, and his breathing is a bit rapid;

The aloof mature boss asks you to stay late at night and work overtime with her alone;

During the full-body checkup, the female doctor suddenly closes the door and starts asking you about your condition one-on-one.

Baihu.

Flight attendant.

Nurse.

Subway.

Candles.

Did you misunderstand?

You see, even if the sentence you originally said didn't have that meaning, people will interpret that meaning in their minds.

The Purgatory Corpse King is now in this situation.

He is frantically over-interpreting why the Giant Corpse God suddenly walked out of the core area.
