Wu Xiangwang once believed that having a good face meant having everything. As long as he looked good, he could completely be a vase and a carefree immortal.
Until he fell into a terrifying w...
When a heroic and beautiful woman cut a field of wheat at an inhuman speed, the atmosphere around the energy wheat field became a little strange and subtle.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman in a cloak and a veil. The twenty or so human adventurers looked at her with a bit of surprise, while the nearly one hundred half-weird humans with weeds growing on their heads had serious expressions.
Anyone else would probably feel uncomfortable being stared at like that, but who was Wu Xiangwang? He was someone who had seen absolutely magnificent things, someone who had been the focus of countless people.
Such a look couldn't change his expression at all.
He could even initiate conversation: "Look, do you think what I harvested weighs a hundred pounds? How do you weigh it here? Does it include the weight of the wheat straw? Or do you only count the weight of the wheat grains and ears?"
Also, if I don't want to sell this energy wheat to that weird merchant named Richard, is there anywhere else to buy this wheat? Or can I harvest it myself and eat it myself?
Wu Xiangwang asked questions very actively, so actively that those half-ghost alienated humans with stiff expressions didn't know how to answer.
This was the first time they had seen such a capable and positive human adventurer. It was not like they had never encountered particularly optimistic human adventurers before, but it seemed that that optimism was not the same as the cheerfulness of this human adventurer.
There's this feeling that no matter how depressed he is, he can't be shaken.
After a while, the former human adventurer with the dead grass on his head pursed his lips and replied, "...In theory, you can take it away after you've harvested it."
"However, this energy wheat does have a special negative energy. If you stay around it for too long, it will infect you and accelerate the degree of strangeness in your body. In this case, do you still want to eat it yourself?"
Wu Xiangwang blinked and thought that if that was the case, it was definitely not suitable for him to eat.
However, he could indeed feel the energy contained in this pile of energy wheat, but he didn't seem to feel much negative energy.
Wu Xiangwang thought for a moment, glanced at Wu Xingyun, and then, in full view of everyone, he picked up an ear of wheat, beat it directly on his hand until the plump grains came out, and stuffed the grains into his mouth.
“!!!”
"Are you crazy?! How dare you eat this energy wheat that only weirdos can eat! Eating this energy wheat will directly cause the weird energy in your body to explode. You're dead! You'll soon become like us, with grass growing on your head and body!"
The strangely transformed human with withered grass growing on his head suddenly yelled. His eyes held a strong sense of rejection and fear, as if seeing someone transformed into something strange was a huge shock to him.
As he shouted, the human adventurers and half-weird humans couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if they were afraid of some kind of infection and waiting for the cloaked beauty to show a weird state.
But five minutes passed and there was no change in the beauty.
Ten minutes later, the beauty pulled out a large linen bag from her cloak and began to fill the bag with wheat.
Regardless of how others feel after eating this wheat, he possesses the powerful "Eat Everything!" skill, which allows him to convert anything he eats into pure energy.
Furthermore, when he ate the energy wheat, he had activated his "Eat Everything!" innate skill. If there were impurities or things that would benefit the body's energy, the energy wheat would definitely change shape in his hands, transforming into energy balls. Just like the snow balls he'd paid to eat.
But the grains of energy wheat hardly changed in his hands, still having a beautiful golden color, and tasted sweet and delicious when he put them in his mouth.
It feels a bit better than those high-level wild fruits guarded by high-level strange beasts.
Therefore, Wu Xiangwang is a little skeptical whether the statement "people cannot eat energy wheat" is made up by some weird people to deceive people.
But looking at the nervous and alert expressions of those weird humans, it doesn't seem fake.
I don't understand why you should not forget me.
However, this inability to figure it out does not affect other adventurers in completing their mission.
So Wangwang started to cheer on the human adventurers who were watching him.
"What are you all still standing there for? Even if you can't eat this energy wheat, can't you just harvest it yourself? Hold the purification stone in your hand, constantly monitor your status, and harvest as much wheat as possible as quickly as possible. Even if you can harvest ten kilograms in a single day, right? Wouldn't that complete the task in ten days?"
"Even if it's 500 kilograms, if we can cut 30 to 40 kilograms at lightning speed that day, we can complete the task in a month!"
"There's no need to go out of your way to find those dangerous, completely freaked-out humans to fight and kill. If there's a particularly agile speed-type psychic in the team, they can even help everyone with this kind of mission!"
Wu Xiangwang's words became more and more fluent, making the expressions of those weird humans more and more distorted, and the eyes of the more than 20 human adventurers and the human adventurers who came here one after another became brighter and brighter.
That's right, never mind whether the wheat is edible or not. As long as they're fast enough, this mission is still relatively easy to complete, right? They don't expect anything else. As long as they complete one of the three major city-connecting missions, wouldn't it be great to quickly leave this damn place after completing the mission?
As a result, the beautiful lady Wangwang received collective thanks from the adventurers who came later. These people quickly became the fastest teammates in the team and were ready to let their teammates try out the "speed method" first.
So those half-weird humans watched from the side as the golden wheat fields that they feared and longed for collapsed in just ten minutes. Those human adventurers ran around in the fields like rabbits chased by dogs, and successfully carried out at least ten or twenty kilograms of energy wheat.
"Old Wu, how are you feeling? Are you okay? Hurry up and stand aside, away from the wheat!"
"Brother Xun, you were so fast just now that you almost flew! That's amazing! Come drink a glass of water purified by the purification stone, and then tell me how you feel now?"
The few adventurers who successfully harvested the wheat were welcomed back to their teams like heroes.
Then, in response to the team members' concern and care, they smiled with appreciation and began to share their experiences.
"That beautiful lady was right. If we were faster, we could still do it! I did feel really uncomfortable when I rushed into the wheat field just now. How should I put it? It was like my body felt heavy and I felt irritated. I also felt like I was doing useless work."
"I did feel some strong negative emotions, but all I could think about at the time was harvesting the wheat quickly and getting it out. You guys were waiting for me nearby, and I couldn't let you down! So I suppressed that feeling, harvested the wheat as quickly as I could, and rushed out. Now I feel much better!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The deeper you go into the wheat field, the more uncomfortable it becomes. If you guys are slower, it's best to mow the wheat on the sides. You might be less affected.
Anyway, when I rushed in, I couldn't help but think of a lot of unhappy things, and I felt inexplicably depressed. I was able to rush out because of my speed. "
"Anyway, this wheat does have a strange negative energy, but if we just come here and harvest wheat for ten or twenty minutes every day, I think we can still complete the merchant mission smoothly. This method is feasible!"
The first few adventurers who tried it all said so, and it was obvious that the other adventurers were eager to try it too.
Then, more people began to try the "speed-type wheat-cutting method". Those who didn't have suitable weapons simply used their own special abilities to cut wheat. Wu Xiangwang saw many strange special abilities -
For example, a girl who could turn her whole body into metal simply turned her body into metal blades, and then rolled over in the wheat field, breaking all the wheat wherever she passed.
There are also earth-type mutants who try to directly turn over the soil and cut the wheat from the roots, and space-type mutants who directly use their own space to store wheat.
The most outrageous one was Shang Chong. This guy even ran over to the planters and guardians of the strange wheat fields and asked, "Can you guys just blow up the wheat fields over there? I mean, if I use a lightning ball to knock down all the wheat in an area, and then the wheat might become a little ripe, will that big businessman Richard still harvest the ripe wheat?"
Liu Yang, a former human adventurer with dry grass on his head: "..."
He finally couldn't contain his dejected yet slightly malicious expression any longer and shouted out, "Don't you have any idea whether wheat scorched by lightning can be sold?"
I've already put up with your weird ways of harvesting wheat that ruin my fields, and you actually want to chop the wheat I worked so hard to plant!!!
Don’t think I won’t hit you just because you are a human being!
If you push me to the limit, I'll immediately transform into a weird form and duel with you. Do you believe it?!
He roared so angrily that even the dry grass above his head stood up, and he pushed Shang Chong back in embarrassment.
But after yelling, Liu Yang just stood there in a daze.
He suddenly reached out and touched his chest and his head, then looked at Shang Chong with a very shocked and complicated look, which made Shang Chong feel uneasy.
"You, uh, don't look at me like that. Can't I just chop the wheat with a knife instead of lightning?"
Wu Xingyun was very loyal and had already stood in front of his own fragile magic king with a mushroom in his arms.
As a result, they did not wait for this half-weird human to get angry, but instead waited for this human's strange reaction of shouting and rushing forward quickly.
"I, I don't want to work here anymore! I don't want to stay here and be the one planting, harvesting, and guarding the wheat!!"
"I, I want to leave this city. I want to go back, home, back to Earth!"
Liu Yang looked very excited at this time. As he spoke, he ran forward as fast as he could.
He rushed forward without even looking back, as if the golden energy field behind him was some terrifying man-eating demon.
Wu Xiangwang frowned slightly as he watched him rush forward madly.
The man's condition seemed to be wrong. Just now, he was like those half-weird humans, numb on the surface but with suppressed madness in his eyes, looking at the human adventurers. But now he seemed to be fleeing like a madman.
But the way he escaped made him look more popular than when he was standing next to the wheat field just now. I don’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing in the end.
Because they were directly stimulated to run away a half-weird human, Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun became very honest in the following time. They cut their 20 kilograms of wheat as quickly as possible and ran away. Before they ran, Wu Xiangwang winked at them, so they ran to a remote and quiet place. They would gather together to talk about something later.
Then Wu Xiangwang looked at the increasing number of adventurers who were "storm-cutting wheat" next to the wheat field, and felt that there should be no major problems, so he prepared to leave.
But when he turned around to leave, he took another look at the ninety or so former human adventurers standing in several rows, who looked very similar even to their weird selves. Most of them still had numb and hopeless expressions on their faces.
But there was one human who looked at the human adventurers who were actively harvesting wheat with a mocking look, as if he was looking at a clown who was struggling in vain without realizing it.
That look was filled with extreme malice, making people feel extremely uncomfortable at first sight.
If a monster gave such a look to a human, it would not feel awkward at all, but if a human gave such a look to his compatriot, it would be very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the eyes of the weirded human turned and met Wu Xiangwang's eyes directly. He narrowed his eyes in an instant, and then the extremely vicious look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by the same numbness and depression as other semi-weirded humans.
Wu Xiangwang frowned slightly, but quickly turned and left.
There must be other problems here, and he can't see anything today. But as long as this place is still there, he will find problems tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.
He is not in a hurry.
He came to this world in October, and it took him less than two months to travel through the first five cities.
He is no longer in a hurry to break the city restriction of the "one-month period". He wants to figure out the meaning of the existence of the ten main cities, everything weird about this world, and the institutional rules and energy system of this world.
After seeing the huge "Eye of the World", Wu Xiangwang began to doubt whether they could really return home after visiting the ten main cities.
This world is too huge, too terrifying, and too incredible for ordinary humans.
Human adventurers are the weakest force in this world. Can such humans really break free and leave this world on their own?
According to the information summarized by Minister Tu and his Dragon Fang Legion, the earliest human adventurers came to this world nearly a hundred years ago.
At first, only a dozen people came to this world in groups, and then more and more people came, and finally there was a novice village dedicated to receiving human adventurers.
More and more humans are coming into this world.
This is probably a good thing for human adventurers in this world.
But what about the Earth?
More and more humans are being captured in this world, which only means that the Earth is becoming less and less able to resist or protect this world.
Who is being watched by that gigantic "Eye of the World" consisting of ten main cities?
Wu Xiangwang took a breath and closed his eyes.
These things are not suitable to think about now.
Now he wanted to see what unspeakable secrets this city full of strange humans was hiding.
He simply did not believe the "human self-exile" explanation of the "City of Exile".
He is human.
He knows human life too well.
Perhaps there are indeed some people who are pessimistic by nature, and after suffering a huge blow, they will become silent and choose death and self-exile.
But more people can fight desperately for a chance of survival.
Every life has the instinct to survive, and humans are even more so. Those who desire to return to Earth are even more obsessed with it.
How is it possible that everyone in a city is so depressed that they don't want to live anymore and just wait to become weird and die?
It's outrageous.
Wu Xiangwang sneered and jumped lightly into the air and flew out. Soon he found Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun, who were squatting in a hidden corner and had planted three large mushrooms to hide their figures.
"Wangwang! Aren't you being too cautious now that you've become like this?" The beautiful butterfly girl appeared again.
Wu Xiangwang glared at him and said, "There's nothing wrong with being careful. I can't stay with you guys for too long."
"Hurry up, Xingyun, try that golden energy wheat and see if you can sense the negative energy within. When I ate energy wheat before, I didn't think the energy was a big deal."
Wu Xingyun understood why Brother Wangwang asked them to wait here.
He nodded and took out a few energy wheat ears from his pocket. After peeling off the outer husks, he put the grains into his mouth and chewed them.
As he chewed, his eyes lit up: "Brother Wangwang, this tastes really good! It has that special rich and fragrant wheat flavor.
Well, I didn’t feel any particularly negative energy while eating it… If there really was that kind of negative energy, I would have been squatting in the corner by now, right? "
"But I'm feeling pretty good now. Good luck! I'm going to have a lucky day today. I can pick up energy coins and eat delicious food along the way!"
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Okay, I know you're in pretty good spirits now. You're not as unlucky as you were at the beginning.
Seeing that Wu Xingyun didn't feel anything after eating, Shang Chong quickly grabbed a handful of wheat grains and chewed them.
He also showed an expression of having eaten something quite delicious: "This wheat tastes and has great energy. After eating it, I feel like my abilities have recovered a lot. It tastes... a bit like your energy ball..."
Shang Chong paused for a moment and said, "At least this energy wheat tastes much better than your energy ball."
Wu Xiangwang rolled his eyes at him and said, "If it tastes good, eat more!"
"So you and Xingyun will guard that energy wheat field for the next few days, harvesting the wheat and seeing if there are any problems."
"I'll also go check out the wheat fields tomorrow, but we shouldn't have too much contact. Be careful, I suspect the Royal Capital Guards might chase us into this city."
After Wu Xiangwang finished speaking, he jumped lightly and floated away again, leaving Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun a little worried.
However, they believed more in their teammates' abilities. "Let's go back and show the Energy Wheat to Lao Wang and those two charlatans. The three of them should be able to see something from different angles."
Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun left quickly. What they didn't know was that just half an hour after they left, four strange creatures appeared in that corner.
"The similar energy fluctuations we captured before are right here. Apparently, he has already entered the city. Unfortunately, it's still a little too late."
"As long as we make sure he's in this city, there'll be no problem. If he uses his energy, we can catch him. We just have to wait here."
"Hmm, so after we sense and discover him, should we attack him together? Tsk, a mere human, even if he has the strength of an earl, it's really not worth our joint attack, right?"
"A quick and decisive battle, don't underestimate the enemy. After all, he has bloody wanted warrants from five cities, and the three Green Winds died because of him. Killing him right away will give us some closure."
The strange creature with colorful flowers on his head curled his lips unhappily. He felt that he could eat that human being by himself.
But now they need to act together, but it doesn't matter, he is the fastest in their team, and when the time comes, as long as he swallows up that human first, the other guys won't be able to snatch it from him!
Just as he was thinking this, the strange creature with thin tentacles on its head and body suddenly stretched out its slender fingers.
"We got him."
"The purple line."
As he opened his mouth, he was picked up by another tall, black-haired creature and rushed in that direction.
The strange creature with colorful flowers on its head jumped high and flew out like a bullet.
Finally, the captain of the team walked at the end without any haste. He didn't need such a fast speed, as long as he saw the target, he could attack.
At this time, Wu Xiangwang was squatting on a tall building, carefully observing the city and the very few native and local creatures in the city.
He thought these monsters might have a special mission in this city. Otherwise, why would they come when so many other monsters didn't want to come to this city? Could it be that these monsters were particularly fond of cute human beings?
So Wu Xiangwang felt that he could find some clues just by watching them.
As he was observing, he suddenly felt something thin and entangled.
Then he became very nervous, feeling an extremely dangerous sense of crisis, as if his life was being targeted by something terrifying.
【Fatal Dodge! 】
The intermediate evasion talent of the Aedes albopictus was passively activated at this time. Wu Xiangwang kicked his legs suddenly, and his body flipped backwards quickly and gracefully, avoiding the huge mouth of the carnivorous plant with sharp teeth.
"Wow, you're really a formidable little human bug. Pretty quick on the uptake."
"But this time, you can't hide!!"
Then four carnivorous plants with huge mouths opened bounced towards Wu Xiangwang one after another. Wu Xiangwang frowned. Being attacked from four directions, he decided to attack one carnivorous plant directly and then use the force to fly away.
He doesn't want to fight a group alone.
However, just as he was about to swing his fist that could break Hua's head, a sound suddenly exploded in his ears.
The sound was like a thunderclap that struck his ears and body directly, causing him to freeze for three seconds. However, this three-second pause was enough for the carnivorous plant to swallow Wu Xiangwang directly.
The Piranha Plant covered its mouth strangely and laughed.
Once you enter His mouth, don’t even think about getting out!
There was a highly corrosive solution in his mouth. No one! Not even a ghost could survive in his mouth for three minutes!
Apparently the other three weirdos thought the same thing, but to be on the safe side, they stayed where they were and didn't just turn around and leave.
They planned to wait until the human was digested by the carnivorous plant before leaving.
It only takes three minutes anyway.
The Piranha Plant was still smiling strangely, but he suddenly felt that his mouth seemed to become a little hard.
Hmm, this must be the human using a defensive weapon or ability.
But it doesn't matter! No matter how strong the defensive tool is, it will be digested by his digestive juices!
Hiss, he felt as if something had pricked his huge mouth, which seemed a little painful and a little itchy.
But that's not a problem! His mouth is a self-healing, extremely tough maw with spatial abilities. If you want to escape by destroying it, forget it!
Ugh! What the hell was that human doing? Why was he starting to feel this crazy itch in his mouth?!
The Piranha Plant covered its mouth strangely and finally stopped laughing.
He felt a little uncomfortable now, and he wanted to open his mouth and scratch himself.
But, He, He can still hold on! Just three minutes! In three minutes, this human will be dead!!!
He can! He can do it!!
At this time, what is the state of Wu Xiangwang in the huge mouth of the carnivorous plant?
The snail shells formed a solid defensive wall around him. He squatted on the soft plant, stretched out his ten nails and frantically absorbed energy from the ground and planted lumps.
Occasionally, he could drink a sip of cranberry milk from the snail shell behind him to replenish his energy.
Wu Xiangwang sat on the ground with a very calm expression.
If you want to kill me in this way, it will be really difficult.
After all, I may not be able to defeat you, but as long as you can't kill me with one blow, I will outlast you all.
It can also make your body covered with itchy bumps as big as steamed buns.
After a minute and a half, the Piranha Plant, which had its mouth closed, finally couldn't stand the unbearable itch of its mouth full of itchy bumps anymore, and it suddenly opened its mouth and jumped around on the spot.
“Ah ...
"Ahhh, someone please tickle me, come into my mouth and tickle me, ahh ...
Wu Xiangwang looked at the open mouth and smiled.
Hey, did you think I was going to come out?
I won’t.
I can stay in your mouth forever.
Are you happy? Are you surprised?
