I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: I’m Your Fan

That beam of light that could disintegrate anything struck Feng Bqing’s bark-like skin, searing a massive wound into it.

Su Ze’s eyes immediately welled up. He encouraged him, ”Fen, go kill them. Avenge me.”

”Okay, wait for me here.”

Feng Bqing turned and charged out of the cave.

The wound on his back had almost completely healed in the time it took him to turn around.

It was unclear whether his Self-Healing Ability had strengthened after he became a Twisted Tree Spirit, or if the residual Tree Marrow in his body was taking effect.

Speaking of Tree Marrow, Su Ze had drunk half a bowl of it. Now, as he carefully sensed what was happening inside him, he discovered some unimaginable changes.

Because he wasn’t injured, the Tree Marrow was digesting rather slowly in his body. Only now was it starting to produce a noticeable effect.

He could feel a gentle life energy coursing through his body. It was similar yet different to the life energy produced by his Regeneration Skill. Although both had healing properties, the life energy from the Tree Marrow was clearly of a higher grade.

The Tree Marrow could even heal spiritual injuries, an effect his Regeneration Skill lacked.

After all, one came from a fourth-tier Spiritual Plant, and the other from a second-tier beast. There was an inherent difference in their levels.

To Su Ze’s surprise, after the life energy from the Tree Marrow circulated through his body, it all automatically flowed into the Regeneration Core in his brain.

After absorbing this life energy, the Regeneration Core also seemed to be undergoing some slow changes.

There was still a good amount of Tree Marrow slowly digesting in his body, but Su Ze was in no mood to study it carefully right now. Seeing Feng Bqing go out to fight one-on-four, he immediately turned and ran.

Soon, the sounds of intense fighting, explosions, and angry shouts echoed from behind him.

Su Ze just focused on running for his life. He didn’t know if the four Saint-level individuals had noticed him. He had already ducked into the cave by the time they descended, and Feng Bqing had been blocking the way behind him.

’They probably didn’t. Otherwise, I can’t say for the others, but Ye Muni would definitely have come after me...’ Su Ze felt a little more at ease.

The path he chose grew narrower the further he went, until he could only crawl forward. After all, it was a tunnel bored out by the roots of the Spirit Root Tree; naturally, it would get tighter toward the ends.

Fortunately, he soon found a fork in the path and immediately switched to the new tunnel to continue crawling.

The roots of the Spirit Root Tree had once spread throughout the entire mountain. Now that the roots had been withdrawn, the whole mountain was as if it had been hollowed out, its interior a labyrinth of intersecting tunnels.

As Su Ze moved forward, he tried to get his bearings, thinking about which direction would lead him out the fastest.

’I’m underground right now. First, I need to go up to get to the surface, then move diagonally toward the mountainside.’

The most convenient route would be to head for the center of the mountain and exit through the chasm, but that would be too conspicuous and dangerous. He might be discovered by Ye Muni’s Lion Army, or he might run into those Saint-level individuals.

’These tunnels bored by the Spirit Root Tree’s roots definitely don’t lead directly to the outside of the mountain. Eventually, I’ll have to dig the rest of the way myself.’

’It would be best if I could catch a live Burrowing Mouse and put it to work.’

From then on, Su Ze began to consciously move upward. Every time he came to a fork, he would choose the path that led up.

The sounds of intense battle continued, which surprised Su Ze. He had expected Feng Bqing to be quickly suppressed in a one-on-four fight, but he didn’t think he’d be this tough.

As he crawled along, Su Ze suddenly stopped. He focused and listened intently, thinking he heard someone speaking nearby.

’The sound seems to be coming from the left...’ Su Ze pressed his ear against the dirt wall to his left and could indeed make out the voices clearly.

”Brothers, let’s get some small gifts going! Your host is risking his life to stream a Saint-level battle, don’t you think that’s worth a wave of gifts?”

”Whoa! Thanks to ’Clear Mr. Ya’s Backdoor’ for the airplane! Thanks, Backdoor!”

”Thanks to ’Mr. Ya’s Dior Ain’t as Big as Mine’ for the two ’Fourth-Tier Extraction Materials’! Thanks, Dior!”

Su Ze’s eyes lit up.

’The outdoor streamer, Mr. Ya!’

’Maybe I won’t need a Burrowing Mouse after all. I’ve found a better worker.’

Rumor had it this Mr. Ya was an expert in all sorts of escape skills, able to overcome any terrain to livestream, and even possessed a signature escape skill that could save his life from a Saint-level overlord.

Su Ze followed the direction of the voice, feeling his way through the tunnels and constantly switching paths to get closer to Mr. Ya.

Finally, he saw a glimmer of light in one of the tunnels. Mr. Ya was lying on the ground, livestreaming with his phone.

The tunnel he was in happened to be on the fractured face of the mountain’s central chasm. By poking his head out of the opening, he could see the situation at the base of the mountain. However, due to the obstruction of many rocks and roots, the view wasn’t very clear; he could only vaguely make out a few figures fighting back and forth.

Because Su Ze was using the wonder item, Traceless Walker, he moved without a sound. He got right up behind Mr. Ya without the man noticing.

”Mr. Ya!”

Su Ze’s shout scared Mr. Ya so badly he almost dropped his phone.

”What the fuck, who are you?”

Mr. Ya’s eyes were full of vigilance. In a place like the Black Rock Mountain Range, you had to be wary of any stranger you met.

”I’m a fan! I’ve even sent you gifts before.”

Su Ze casually sidled up and clapped Mr. Ya on the shoulder. ”When are you ending the stream? I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Mr. Ya didn’t let his guard down. ”Open your phone. Let me see if you have my fan badge.”

”What? You don’t believe me?” Su Ze shook his head. ”There’s no signal in these mountains.”

”I have a signal booster.”

Mr. Ya was fully equipped and not easy to fool.

Although Su Ze had watched his streams, he had never actually sent him a gift.

Su Ze wasn’t flustered. He calmly opened his phone and found that there really was a signal.

He logged into the streaming platform. Mr. Ya immediately leaned over, and upon seeing that his account had a fan value of 0, his face fell.

Su Ze just smiled, topped up his account on the spot, opened the gift shop, selected the most expensive gift, and sent a volley of ten.

The most expensive gift in the shop wasn’t some airplane or rocket, but a ”Sixth-Tier Extraction Material,” worth one hundred thousand Lin Coins each.

With that one move, Su Ze sent gifts worth a million.

He shot straight to the top of the leaderboard.

The livestream’s chat immediately exploded.

The screen was filled with ”Boss 666,” interspersed with a few ”Boss is generous” and ”Boss is a fool.”

Mr. Ya also performed an extreme face-change, his smile turning utterly sycophantic.

”Thank you to my big bro ’User 100111281135656143’ for the ten ’Sixth-Tier Extraction Materials’! Thank you, big bro!”

Su Ze had only registered the account a few days ago and hadn’t even set a name, so it was still the default platform ID. Yet Mr. Ya had somehow read out every single digit without missing one, a clear sign of how much importance he placed on the donation.

”See? I told you I was a fan. I wasn’t lying, was I?”

”Yes, yes, yes, it was all my fault for being too suspicious.” Mr. Ya bowed and scraped, smiling so widely his two front teeth stuck out prominently. The two words ”worldly wisdom” seemed to be written in the gaps between them.

”I’m getting a little hungry. When are you ending the stream? Let’s go eat soon.”

Of course, Su Ze hadn’t dropped a million just to show off; he wanted Mr. Ya to lead him out of the Black Rock Mountain Range.
