Wu Xiangwang had a guess in his mind and decided to do a beauty mission.

However, before completing the beauty mission, he still needs to make some preparations and confirm whether his guess is correct.

He asked Wu Xingyun to wake up Shang Chong, as he had slept all night and it was time for him to get up and work.

Wu Xingyun was very willing to wake up the sleeping Brother Shang so that he could show him off his newly awakened tonic, the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom.

So after waking up, Shang Chong couldn't help crying: "Why did you squeeze me unconscious? If I had known I could do so many things without fainting, I would definitely control my mind and eat mushrooms to watch the fun!"

King Shangfa felt as if he had lost 100 million yuan, so he went to find Wu Xiangwang to see what he looked like under his black all-encompassing cloak.

"Dad! Let your son see what you look like now. A son will never think his father is ugly! Your son can accept you no matter what you look like!"

Wu Xiangwang sneered in his black cloak, not allowing the rebellious son to touch him, and moved to another position in a flash.

"Don't get close to me."

Shang Chong's eyes sparkled: "Dad! It seems like you've become even more powerful after not seeing you for just one night!"

Wu Xiangwang nodded affirmatively this time. How could it not be great to have an invincible cockroach?

"Okay, let's get down to business. Liusha, come out too. We're going to do a few experiments during the day."

After hearing this, Shang Chong stopped howling, and Liusha also walked out of his space.

"Today, the six of us will split into three groups and walk to the edge of the city. Once we reach the edge, we'll attack the city wall with all our might and see what happens.

Then I went to look for the trading houses and shops selling goods in this city. If my guess was correct, there should be no large trading houses in this city, only some simple shops that bought and sold food.

If you find a store that sells something, buy some from it. Try to buy as many different items as possible. The more different items, the better.

Wu Xiangwang's words sounded a bit strange. Neither attacking the city wall nor buying different kinds of items seemed to have anything to do with the city quest.

However, none of the members of the Wangwang team raised any questions, and Wang Xiao was even able to think deeply about Wu Xiangwang's mission requirements.

"You bought different kinds of items and wanted to compare them? Why compare them... Do you suspect that the physical goods sold in this city are also pure energy?"

Wu Xiangwang gave Wang Xiao a thumbs up through his black cloak.

Wang Xiao looked at the cloaked, almost invisible thumb and twitched his lips. He thought about it and thought about more things, and his expression became subtle and ugly.

“…Impossible?”

Wu Xiangwang shrugged. "I'm not sure either, which is why I need to do some experiments first. After all, this hypothesis is a bit crazy, but in this strange world, any kind of craziness is normal, isn't it?"

Wang Xiao took a breath, then turned to look at Liusha: "Then I will be in a group with Liusha."

Liusha basically cannot think for himself when the strange toxin takes over his brain, which just complements his relatively weak attack power.

If this city is really... as they imagined, it would be too dangerous to walk alone.

Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun automatically formed a group. They didn't care about the grouping at all, but cared more about what Wu Xiangwang and Wang Xiao had discovered.

Just when Shang Chong was about to strongly demand to share his discovery, Wu Xiangwang appeared beside him again out of nowhere and whispered his guess.

"I think the city is probably one and the same."

When Shang Chong heard this, he was stunned at first, and he didn't quite understand what it meant that the city was one.

But soon, he opened his eyes wide and said "Fuck!", and not just "Fuck!", he turned around several times and said "Fuck!" several times. Seeing this, Wu Xingyun, who was standing next to him, felt itchy.

"Okay, let's not waste time and go check it out. It's 6:30 in the morning, so let's gather here at noon."

"Also, we can try to think more about scary, edible monsters while we're walking. Although the monsters in this city will disappear at six o'clock the next day, we can still take advantage of them while they're still around."

Wu Xiangwang gave some advice, which others agreed with.

At this time, Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Bei, who were listening nonchalantly nearby, came over and spoke.

"You guys are going to explore the edge of the city? And buy some different items, right? We can help with that."

Although they also wanted to know what Wu Xiangwang had guessed, their relationship wasn't close enough to a level of trust, so they could only suppress their curiosity and not ask. However, they could still take on the additional tasks.

The Ouyang Nanbei brother and sister believed that as long as they could complete the task, even if the final reward was not the biggest, they would at least get a small share.

Just as Ouyang Nanbei finished speaking, the voices of the other four team captains who remained were heard nearby.

"That's right, Brother Wangwang! We're already good brothers who've eaten grilled mushrooms together. If you have any tasks that you think of, we can do them together!"

"It's boring to be idle during the day anyway. We all need to practice courage and brains. It's really boring to just stay in one place without moving. Let's do something useful."

The four captains, three men and one woman, are all level four supernatural adventurers. They all have sharp eyes and are shameless enough to take on missions for free.

Wu Xiangwang twitched his lips as he watched the five extra teams beneath their black cloaks. It was true that the more cities one visited, the more powerful adventurers one encountered. Powerful in every sense of the word.

"Okay, then let's all go to the edge of this city and take a look, and then bring back some other items from this city."

"I did guess a possibility. I will tell everyone about it after I make the comparison at noon."

The five captains were very satisfied and felt that the Wangwang brothers were straightforward and capable. Apart from the fact that they always wore cloaks and could not be seen, they were worthy of making friends in all aspects.

"Okay, brother Wangwang, let's meet at noon. I'm very interested in your speculation."

"Do you want everything? Then I'll ask my brothers to bring back some more stuff."

Wu Xiangwang nodded to the captains, and then the six teams of more than 30 people here all walked towards the edge of the city wall in different directions with Wu Xiangwang's mission.

However, considering the danger of this city, except for the Wu Xiangwang team which is composed of two people, the other teams are composed of at least four people.

Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan are naturally a group. After all, Lin Yuan has mysophobia and social anxiety when he is around others and can't play the role of a team member at all. He is a double-standard person.

Wu Xiangwang chose a simple and crude direction. He took Lin Yuan directly to the exit of the east city gate.

The East Gate is one of the best places to confirm his guess. Then he can bribe the weirdos guarding the gate to let him conduct crazy tests on the edge of the gate.

On the way to the East City Gate, Wu Xiangwang carefully observed the city. He walked along a street but did not find a single shop with a sign.

What's more, what he is afraid of now is himself, while Lin Yuan has no fear at all. They haven't even thought of a single terrifying creature along the way. It's simply too boring.

Fortunately, the other adventurers in this city had rich fear emotions and good imagination. When Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan were halfway there, a huge octopus monster that was a hundred meters tall rushed in front of them.

Each tentacle of this octopus sea monster was several meters wide and hundreds of meters long, which shocked the adventurers on the entire main street and made them change their faces in shock. They didn't know how to kill this huge and terrifying sea monster for a moment.

But Wu Xiangwang's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the giant octopus.

What lovely adventurer imagined this adorable and delicious horror?

The octopus in front of you is not an octopus, but a delicious energy and delicacy!

So while other adventurers on the street were frantically attacking the octopus's strong, cartilaginous head, Wu Xiangwang was pulling Lin Yuan to eat the octopus's legs.

While the octopus was waving its huge tentacles to fight the adventurer, Wu Xiangwang was still pulling Lin Yuan to eat the octopus legs.

When dozens of adventurers were rolled up by the giant octopus legs and hung high in the air, about to be strangled to death, Wu Xiangwang, who was also hung high in the air, was still grunting and eating the octopus legs that were about to be bitten off.

He was delighted to find that his energy level was increasing little by little.

Although each bite only has a little energy value, a mosquito leg is still meat no matter how small it is. If you increase it little by little, it will eventually reach 7,000!

Black, who was almost suffocating from the huge tentacles of the octopus, was still roaring and trying his best to break free from the giant octopus tentacles that were binding him. He had been in this city for five days and was almost able to master the method of diverting fear and attention, but he ended up encountering such a deadly behemoth.

He was already feeling both mentally and physically exhausted, and felt that he might die like the others in the team, trapped in the strange monsters all over the city. In despair, he gave up struggling and looked around.

To his right were several adventurers who had been captured like him, all of them desperately trying to struggle out.

Black turned his head to the left again, expecting to see the same scene as on the right, but he discovered that the human on the left seemed a little off.

He was also standing on the giant octopus tentacle.

But it would be more accurate to say that he was clinging to the tentacles tightly and was unwilling to let go rather than being caught by them.

Such an abnormal scene was already shocking to Black, and when he opened his eyes wide and looked more carefully at what the human brother on the left standing on the huge tentacles was doing, this foreign compatriot showed a very confused and shocked expression in his eyes.

"Oh my god." It was already so late, but the human standing on the sea monster's tentacles was still gnawing on the octopus legs!

Is this octopus leg especially delicious, or is that black-haired human too strong?!

"Oh my god, brother, are you from Washington?" In his impression, only those magical people in Washington can eat everything.

"Brother, aren't you afraid that eating these monsters will kill you?"

Black felt that he was running out of energy and was about to die, but he still struggled to give a reminder to his fellow human who could have escaped but didn't.

As a result, the Dongfang Huazhou brother who was standing on the other octopus leg and still trying to bite the octopus leg looked at him, pointed at the huge octopus leg and said to him:

"That's right, foreign brother! I'm from Dongfang Huazhou! Are you running out of supernatural powers now? If so, quickly nibble on a few more octopus legs to replenish them! It's rare to find such high-quality horror ingredients. If you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to find such a good shop anymore!"

Foreign brother Black: "..."

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

But maybe it was because the Huazhou brother next to him was eating too happily, or maybe he was really unwilling to die here and didn't want to give up any opportunity. Anyway, after he felt that another bone in his body was broken, Black bit the giant octopus's leg hard with a roar as if to vent his anger.

Black bit down with a desperate mood and mentally prepared.

He thought that even if poisonous water came out of the octopus's legs, he would still have taken revenge on the big octopus and made a profit.

But what surprised Black was that although the big octopus leg felt thick and chewy at first, after chewing it a few more times, he discovered the wonderfulness of this octopus leg -

After chewing the giant octopus meat he bit off, he actually recovered some of his supernatural energy!!!

Black's eyes lit up in an instant!

God will not destroy him!

With his special powers, he could hold on for a while longer. At this time, he looked at the big octopus leg wrapped around him and felt that this was not the leg of a sea monster, but a huge piece of energy meat!

"Woo woo woo! Brother Huazhou! You are, you are a good person! Thank you so much!"

While Black was frantically biting the octopus legs to replenish his energy, he kept turning around to thank Wu Xiangwang.

Wu Xiangwang gave him a thumbs up through his black cloak, then pointed at the octopus legs and told him to eat them quickly and not waste them.

Then, a terrible chain reaction of "eating octopus legs" spread from person to person -

Because the struggling adventurer on Black's right also saw Black eating the octopus legs frantically.

He originally just thought that this reddish-brown-haired foreign compatriot was desperate and wanted to take revenge on the giant octopus.

It turned out that the more this foreign compatriot gnawed the octopus, the more excited he became, and in the end he even held the octopus's legs and gnawed them with all his might.

Curiosity and a little speculation led the adventurer on Black's right to try taking the first bite of the giant octopus's leg.

Then, one more person started to hold onto the giant octopus's leg and gnaw on it.

One after another, one after another, when the giant octopus monster waving its tentacles felt something was wrong, those adventurers who were wrapped in its legs had all turned from passive to active and were about to bite off all eight of its thighs.

Giant octopus sea monster: "...Ah!!"

It's outrageous!!!

Shouldn't you weaklings run away screaming?! I've grown so big, and you're still eating me! Still eating me!

In the end, this battle ended with humanity's absolute victory—

Because the adventurers passing by eventually became temporary guests eating octopus legs. Even if the giant octopus sea monster had tried hard to grow to a hundred meters long, it could not withstand hundreds of people grabbing and chewing it together.

"Ahohohoho!"

Before its head was eaten, the giant octopus sea monster let out an extremely unwilling roar.

Shameless humans who eat everything!

After eating the octopus, Wu Xiangwang happily discovered that his ability value had increased by another 130.

When Wu Xiangwang arrived at the East City Gate with satisfaction, he found that the strange guards at the East City Gate looked at him with complicated and strange eyes.

I guess it was because he saw the somewhat scary scene where hundreds of humans were frantically surrounding a giant octopus and eating it crazily.

"Ah! Human! Are you leaving the city? You must have a pass to leave the city, and you must stay for thirty days and complete one of the three major tasks!"

After wiping his mouth, Wu Xiangwang pulled down the curtain of his mask again, and then said to the strange guarding the city: "Ah, I haven't completed the clearance mission yet. I came here just to familiarize myself with the situation of our City of Fear first."

"Thank you for your hard work guarding the East City Gate. Well, I have a humble request. Could you please let me touch the gate?"

Wu Xiangwang said this and took out forty energy gold coins and handed them over.

The four city guards were actually shaken when they saw the energy coins. The leading ghost tried to snatch forty energy coins quickly, but Wu Xiangwang took his hand back faster.

"Captain of the Guard, there are no free-to-find cores in this world. Could you please allow me to touch the city gate and open it a little?"

Wu Xiangwang saw the captain's unpleasant expression and thought he would be rejected. However, the captain sneered and nodded decisively, "Okay, if you only touch the gate and open it a crack, then there's no problem. But you have to hand over the energy coins first."

Wu Xiangwang nodded without hesitation and took out the forty energy coins again. This time, when Apia, the captain of the guard at the East City Gate, took them out again, Wu Xiangwang did not take his hand back.

"Humph, stupid human! Needless to say, I know you're planning to escape, but don't let your wishful thinking get you there! No one can sneak out of the City of Fear!"

The ghost captain walked to the city gate while mocking and opened it a little.

"Go ahead, human, see if you can get out?"

Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows as he looked at the arrogant and complacent Captain Apia, and he probably had the answer in his mind.

When he stretched his hand through the gap in the city gate, he indeed felt an invisible barrier outside the city gate.

However, the touch of the barrier made him feel very uncomfortable, as if it was a little wet and soft, with a slight suction force.

Wu Xiangwang quickly withdrew his hand with an ugly expression.

He just stretched out his hand and probed outside, and he could feel that the supernatural energy in his body was less.

"Hehehehe! Human boy, are you scared now?"

Wu Xiangwang lowered his eyes to look at his hands, then looked up and smiled: "Thank you, Captain of the Guard, I'm going back now."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, but after taking a few steps, he flew directly towards the sky above his head. When he flew a hundred meters above the sky, Lin Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Well, don't go any higher. Now you can reach out and touch what you suspect."

Wu Xiangwang stopped very obediently because he himself felt the huge danger coming from above.

Then he gently extended a finger upwards and tentatively touched.

The same uncomfortable feeling of the barrier.

Therefore, although this city did not deliberately set up barriers to block the entire city like Jax did, the city itself is probably a natural "complete blockade" area.

As expected, I must do the beauty mission!

When they returned to Ghost Street at noon, Wu Xiangwang confirmed his guess after comparing the various energy foods and materials brought back by the other five teams as well as Shang Chong and Wang Xiao.

"Everyone, although these energy foods look different on the outside, they are actually all the same 'energy aggregates'."

"What does this mean? Does it mean these things are fake?"

Wu Xiangwang smiled and said, "It's not quite accurate to say they're fake. After all, eating these things can still replenish your energy and increase your sense of fullness."

"But these foods are probably also things that were materialized by the City of Fear."

"But he's probably the only one in the entire City of Fear who can materialize this kind of energy item."

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

Wu Xiangwang smiled beneath his black robe. "Everyone, I'm going to participate in the beauty mission. Want to join us?"

Everyone took a step back.

Boss, you go first!

Being dragged directly into the terrifying dream of the Lord of the City of Fear at night is something they cannot endure!
