High-Speed Regeneration

A blue Drop Card appeared. With a sweep of his left hand, Bai Cangshu stored it in his Backpack.

You obtained Drop Card (Blue) ×1

Everything had happened too quickly. Olgins’s outstretched hand was still frozen in place. Old Hank, whose shoulder had been pierced through, was still wailing in the sewage. Barnaby held his gun, still hesitating. Priest Shura, who had been incomparably arrogant just moments ago, had died on the spot.

Cindy fell from his hand. Bai Cangshu casually caught her and tossed her onto the ground.

Only then did the little girl come back to her senses.

"That was the bird-riding priest…"

The moment she had gone out, she had seen a vicious giant bird. She had wanted to run, but Shura had already caught her. After falling into the hole, she had bitten Shura and shouted a warning, but she had never expected that in the blink of an eye, the big guy would defeat that terrifying priest.

"Big guy, you…"

Cindy finally realized that this time, she had probably found someone truly extraordinary.

Olgins’s expression suddenly changed. He strode forward and said urgently,

"That birdman has been defeated. That guy will definitely show up!"

He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Shura’s corpse, and headed for the entrance. As he passed Bai Cangshu and Cindy, he said in a muffled voice,

"Little girl, you’ve had it hard these past few days."

Leo and the others were all stunned, already understanding his intentions. Leo, who was missing a leg, gritted his teeth and hopped forward, rolling down from the clean passage.

"Olgins, let me do this!"

"You still have strength. You still have a chance in the future…"

Barnaby beside Leo also wanted to speak, but Leo raised a hand to stop him.

Bai Cangshu watched these crippled Plot Characters fight over the chance to go out and die.

He simply grabbed Olgins’s clothes and pulled him back. The burly man staggered two steps and fell into the sewage.

"Put away that useless kindness. This era has no stage left for you."

He picked up Shura’s corpse and walked toward the passage entrance on his own.

Bai Cangshu could not possibly hide in a place like this for the next ten days. Once the second batch of reincarnators entered, his situation would only become more unfavorable.

After all, this mission world was a blatant team battle slaughter scenario. The newly arrived reincarnators would not be teammates standing alongside Bai Cangshu to take on Enel. They would only be another group of hostile "red-named" players.

These ten days were the time the space had given the weaker side in the team battle to seize the "momentum of the plot." Therefore, Bai Cangshu would definitely go out to understand the current power structure on the island, perhaps even find a way to draw in outside forces and secure the greatest possible benefit.

Seeing what Bai Cangshu had done, Olgins’s eyes shifted, and he said nothing more.

Your actions have earned the approval of Plot Character Olgins. Your reputation with Olgins has increased. Current: Friendly (8/100)

Bai Cangshu paid no attention to these Plot Characters, whom he considered useless. They probably possessed certain plot clues, and digging deeper might yield some Side Missions and rewards.

But facing Enel and other stronger reincarnator teams, Bai Cangshu had no time to waste on such things.

As he dragged the corpse to the exit, hurried footsteps followed from behind. The little girl Cindy tugged at Bai Cangshu’s pant leg.

"Big guy, I’m coming with you!"

The girl’s gaze was resolute.

Perhaps at her age, she still did not understand what death truly was. Bai Cangshu thought so, but he did need a guide familiar with the local situation. He nodded and climbed to the cave entrance.

The impatient flapping of wings kept sounding near the entrance. It was clearly Shura’s mount, the Three-Zhang Bird Pan Tui. Bai Cangshu grabbed Shura’s corpse and tossed it upward, sending it dozens of meters into the air in an instant.

The plump Three-Zhang Bird let out a piercing cry, flapping its wings as it leaped toward the sky, trying to catch its master. At that moment, Bai Cangshu grabbed Cindy and lightly leaped out of the cave.

With a sweep of his foot, he shut the cover over the entrance. Then he even whistled at the foolish bird that had caught Shura’s corpse in midair.

Cindy clung tightly to Bai Cangshu’s clothes. The two quickly turned a corner and vanished. In the distance, members of God’s Guard noticed Pan Tui’s continuous cries of grief in the sky and approached, only to see a figure disappearing into the marketplace.

Then they heard someone shout,

"This is bad! Lord Shura is dead!"

Chaos immediately erupted. God’s Guard had no way to track Bai Cangshu’s trail.

Bai Cangshu moved quickly with Cindy. His senses were sharp enough to detect voices and footsteps within a thousand meters. His body was also beginning to adapt to processing such a chaotic mass of information. After his mental attribute had touched its limit, his brain’s reaction and processing abilities had improved considerably as well.

Cindy was very nervous. She led Bai Cangshu through several streets before finally finding a district that had collapsed halfway.

The houses on this street all had small courtyards, and their outer walls were built from glowing stones. It had clearly once been a wealthy district, but the aftermath of some attack had destroyed most of it.

Cindy sneaked Bai Cangshu into someone’s courtyard. With practiced ease, she felt around in the flower bed by the window, found a key, and opened the room’s door.

"This used to be the Public Order Officer uncle’s house. Sister Luo Luo often brought me here to sneak in and play, but now they…"

The little girl’s mood dimmed for a moment, but Bai Cangshu had no intention of comforting her. He simply walked inside.

The room was richly furnished. Bai Cangshu casually wiped a surface, finding not a speck of dust. Watching Cindy habitually pick up a broom and start cleaning, Bai Cangshu guessed that she might not be as "young" as he had imagined. She was a child who had already learned to reminisce at such an age.

"Tell me, Team Member Cindy. What famous figures are there in this country?"

Through a corner of the window, Bai Cangshu saw many enormous green leaves amid the collapsed row of streets. They were so large that he had initially mistaken them for some kind of special tarp.

The wind could not stir those giant leaves, each large enough to cover an entire house. Bai Cangshu leaned his head out the window, but mountains blocked the view behind them, preventing him from seeing the vines those leaves grew from.

"Big guy, that place is a restricted area!"

"Captain Corey said it’s very dangerous there. Once you get close, you’ll attract that guy’s attention…"

Cindy swept as she seemed to ponder something.

Remembering Bai Cangshu’s question, she spoke.

"Famous figures…"

"On the eastern street, there are several guys like gorillas. There used to be a lot of them, but quite a few have left in the past two years."

"On the western street, a lot of One Piece pirates are hiding. That group submitted, so they weren’t killed. Captain Olgins said there are two people in there who are pretty strong."

She counted on her fingers, but she provided no information that could surprise Bai Cangshu.

The only useful piece of information was probably that so-called restricted area. If Bai Cangshu’s guess was correct, it was most likely related to Eldorado or those giant vines.

But if approaching it would truly bring him face-to-face with Enel, then now was clearly not the time to enter.

The numb sensation in Bai Cangshu’s right hand grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, he clenched hard, and feeling returned to his right hand.

The charred skin peeled away inch by inch, while tender red flesh beneath it grew like granulation tissue.

Bai Cangshu could feel his blood accelerating through his veins. Some energy was lost, but in exchange, his arm quickly healed completely.

With that, Hamon began circulating again. Bai Cangshu moved his fingers. His body had already returned to perfect condition.

Based on the bloodline ability of Human: Perfect Individual (Mythical Species, Myriad Manifestation Species), you have activated the bloodline trait: High-Speed Regeneration
High-Speed Regeneration (Rare): Extraordinary trait. Any injury can rapidly regenerate by consuming vitality and blood. Your body will not be affected by vital points.

Cindy turned around and blinked, only then realizing she had not seen wrong. The big guy’s blackened right hand had somehow recovered.

"Big guy, you can heal injuries from lightning strikes?!"

Bai Cangshu knew what she was thinking, but before he could speak, the little girl suddenly rushed over. She hugged Bai Cangshu’s leg as tears the size of beans rolled down her face.

"Team Member Cindy begs you, please save Captain Corey!"

Looking at this tiny, doll-like little fellow, less than seventy centimeters tall and so frail, Bai Cangshu felt a special kind of strength from her for the first time.

The updates have been a bit lacking these past two days. Sorry, I’ve had a lot going on. I’m adjusting and improving.
