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...
The scene of Richard shooting himself to death was so bizarre that even the human adventurers and the four weirdos from the Royal Capital Hunting Team present were unable to fully react.
Even though Richard himself did not reveal His name and identity, it was clear from the surface that He was no ordinary person.
But it is such a joke that such a person who looks like a big shot died of suicide.
Even if this matter is told as a joke, it will not seem weird and no one will believe it.
The weird carnivorous plant immediately pointed the finger at Wu Xiangwang: "Damn wanted criminal! What on earth did you do to Richard?! Do you know how big a mistake you made! That's Richard! That's the weird Richard from the capital who needs to sell energy wheat to him in the merchant mission!
You've already screwed Richard over, and you still want to complete the merchant mission? You're dreaming!
At the end, the Piranha Plant showed a very gloating expression on its weird face. Yes, this human can't complete the merchant mission now, let's see how he will get out of the city?
Wu Xiangwang really didn't expect that the weirdo who looked rich and killed himself was actually Richard.
He looked like he couldn't control himself and wanted to curse.
So Murphy's Law really applies everywhere, right? The less you think about something, the more it becomes. It doesn't matter who dies, except Richard. But in the end, Richard still dies.
Then Wu Xiangwang began to think seriously about how to complete the merchant mission.
Before he quickly prepared to flee, he asked the strange hunting team over there, "Don't you have any backups here? If one Richard dies, can't you just fill in another one?"
"You know, important positions for us humans all have automatic replacements."
The Piranha Plant is weird: "..."
The Piranha Plant opened its mouth wide in anger and sprayed a mouthful of corrosive venom at the human from a distance. "Substitutes, bullshit! This is Weird's world. Do you expect Weird to follow human rules?! Forget it! None of you can complete the merchant quest. Damn human adventurers, just wait to die of old age in this city!!!"
Wu Xiangwang pursed his lips and snorted, activating his powerful speed king talent skill and disappearing in a flash. Yin Bo just happened to speak at this time and used [Death Sound Wave] for the second time. He wanted to see if this human could really break his fatal attack!
Obviously, He failed again this time.
However, this time, his death sound waves were not completely wiped out by Lin Yuan. When the sound waves were about to wrap around him, Wu Xiangwang stretched out his hand and grabbed the void in the direction of the sound wave energy he felt. He did let the remaining sound waves wrap around his body, but his hands also quickly grabbed the invisible sound waves and rolled them into a vibrating sound wave ball that looked like popping candy.
While feeling the blood and skin in his body vibrating from the sound waves, he ate the sound wave pills, which actually slightly alleviated the damage caused by the sound waves that were constantly vibrating in his body.
Overall, Wu Xiangwang was hurt by the sound waves, but he also grasped a key point.
Although Lin Yuan helped him disperse most of the sonic attacks this time, if there was another such attack, he might be able to completely resolve it by himself.
He can try to gather the sound waves into vibrating energy balls before they harm his body and use them as his food.
After all, everything is edible, and sounds can also have taste!
The failure of the second fatal move made Yin Bo's strange expression become quite serious.
If the first time the human escaped, he could still attribute it to luck, but the second time the human escaped again meant that one of His ultimate moves had no effect on that human.
Looking at the carnivorous plant next to him that was still spitting indignantly, the sensor that subconsciously curled up its tentacles and dared not stretch forward, and the chimpanzee that lost the strength contest with the human and was now lying on the ground unable to get up, Yin Bo felt for the first time what it meant to be in a difficult situation.
If the Lord of the City of Nature were here, he would definitely have a lot in common with it—
Wu Xiangwang was now like a tough, thorny bone. A war of attrition wouldn't kill him, and he might even injure him. Unless he could kill with one strike, there was no way to defeat him.
But he had already used his ultimate move, but it was useless. Now they were completely helpless against the bloody wanted criminal.
"Damn it."
Yin Bo cursed strangely.
Should they return to the captain in disgrace and admit that they couldn't kill that human? In that case, they would probably be crippled by the captain and expelled from the Royal Capital Hunting Team.
But is there any way to cause fatal harm to that human?
As Sound Wave Weirdness was pondering, Sensing Weirdness suddenly extended its tentacles and poked the captain: "... Perhaps, we can go find the city lord?"
Yin Bo frowned strangely immediately.
"Are you kidding me? He's a lunatic! And he's a lunatic who's partial to humans!"
But Sensing Weird hesitated for a moment with a flickering look in his eyes, and whispered something in Yinbo Weird's ear. Yinbo Weird's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Are you telling the truth?"
Sensing strangely, he waved his tentacles: "At least that's how I feel."
The strange sound wave instantly revealed a sinister smile that could not be concealed no matter what.
"As expected, those who become city lords are not good people. Let's go, take Heizi with us and find the human city lord of the Exiled City!"
On the four words "human city lord", the strange sound wave trembled with a unique emphasis.
Five minutes after the four members of the royal capital hunting team left mysteriously, Wu Xiangwang ran back to the energy wheat field.
First, he still hadn't explored the central area of the energy wheat field. Second, he saw the eager eyes of the thirty or so human adventurers who were frequently looking at him, and he roughly guessed what they were longing for.
So he ran back. When he ran back, the human adventurers who were originally like confused children suddenly lit up their eyes as if they had found their mother.
“Big Sister!!”
"Big sister, you are finally back!!"
"Big sis, I'm so glad you're not hurt!!"
Wu Xiangwang pulled the brim of his cloak hood down even harder and sighed with a bitter heart.
They either call him dad or big sister. When will they be able to sincerely call him peerless immortal?
Forget it, perhaps beauty and domineering aura cannot coexist.
"I only have one of those mushrooms on hand. This kind of mushroom can indeed dispel the invisible negative energy in the city and reduce the impact of negative energy on everyone."
The adventurers' faces suddenly lit up with a look of immense anticipation, and then they looked at each other nervously, fearing that the other party would pay a high price to snatch away the magic mushrooms that they were so determined to get!
Some people had even thought about making an offer, but then they heard what the understanding big sister said.
"If you want mushrooms, go to East City Gate Square at 5 pm today to line up and get them. It's free, but each team is limited to one mushroom. You can just go there and get them."
"Remember to bring a large enough mushroom pot. You've seen how big these mushrooms can grow. Although you can eventually transplant them from the pot to the roadside, the closer they are to the road in the early stages, the more they can absorb the surrounding negative energy."
"Big Sister!! You are our boss from now on! We will do whatever you say from now on. We will listen to you in this city!!"
How rare it is to find such selfless and unselfish fellow human beings! You won't suffer any loss if you follow a capable and generous person!
"That's right, big sister! Whatever you want to do, just call me, Big Hammer, and I'll bring my team to help you right away! Are you really selling mushrooms for no energy coins? This makes Big Hammer feel like I'm getting a huge bargain, and I really want to do something for you, big sister!"
"Yes, big sister! We got a great deal by getting free mushrooms. Is there anything you want us to do? We have to do something."
"But... since Richard is dead, should we talk to the city lord or someone else and ask them to update the merchant quests and have other human adventurers do the hero quests first?"
Wu Xiangwang felt a little toothache again.
Richard's death was such a waste of time.
"Then you should notify as many people in the city as possible who haven't become strange, or who have become strange but are still sane, and have them gather at the East City Gate Square to preserve the spirits of as many people as possible."
"As for Richard and the merchant missions... let's go to the mission panel tomorrow to see if there are any updates or candidates. If not, I'll discuss this with the city lord when I see him."
"Alright, you all should hurry back now or notify the other human adventurers. I'll take a closer look in the energy wheat field first."
"See you at five in the afternoon."
After Wu Xiangwang finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked directly into the depths of the energy wheat field, while the other human adventurers looked at him with admiration.
As expected, the big sister is the big sister! She is so awesome!
Huh? Big Sister's figure from behind seems a bit stronger. Speaking of which, why do I always feel a subtle sense of dissonance when I look at Big Sister from behind?
What exactly is wrong?
Wu Xiangwang, who had already removed his butterfly beauty disguise, walked towards the depths of the energy wheat field. He now trusted his intuition very much.
Rather than saying it is intuition, it is more like an instinctive sense of danger and unusual auras that animals have developed in order to survive more safely in nature.
He instinctively felt that something was seriously wrong deep within the energy wheat field, just as he instinctively felt that he would definitely and soon meet the lord of the Exiled City.
He didn't know what kind of human being the Lord of the City of Exile was, but he didn't have a very good feeling about the Lord.
I always feel that person may no longer be a "human".
Because, no matter how crazy and frustrated a true human adventurer is, no matter how he chooses to exile himself, he will not watch hundreds of thousands of semi-weird humans gather in this city, watch them terrified and in pain in the changes that are about to become weird, and finally choose exile and even death.
However, he reserved all his opinions until he met the city lord.
Hearsay is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. Anyway, he will definitely meet the city lord, so don't rush to do things one by one, you will eventually meet him.
Wu Xiangwang had already arrived at the center of the energy wheat field at this time.
In fact, the location in the center is very easy to find. Just follow the shape of the wheat field and you can find it by following the shape of the vortex.
The further he walked, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart and his head was buzzing.
It was as if something invisible was desperately trying to erode his body and change him.
Wu Xiangwang raised his hands and suddenly saw that his fingernails were growing rapidly and the skin on his hands began to become smooth and looked like pearl fragments.
His body actually underwent a strange transformation even before he entered the complete strange state.
If this happened to other humans, it would probably be enough to make people disbelieve it or even collapse in an instant.
But Wu Xiangwang was very calm.
What was there to be nervous about? All his nervousness and depression were exhausted in the Novice Village.
And it only triggered a strange state, not something that could be reversed. That was the key point.
But Wu Xiangwang can also be sure that there is a big problem in this wheat field.
He didn't feel any special space under the wheat field, but there were several places in the entire wheat field that made him particularly uncomfortable.
He felt that in order to see clearly what was buried beneath this energy wheat field, he would probably need to clear away all the energy wheat and leave only the land.
but……
Wu Xiangwang looked at the wheat fields in front of him, which seemed to be endless, and felt a stomachache.
In this strange world without mechanized harvesters, how many people and how many days would it take to harvest the entire energy wheat field!
Not to mention that other adventurers will be eroded exponentially by negative energy once they come near the energy wheat field. Who can help him harvest all the wheat?
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Wu Xiangwang felt that the picture of a fierce brother in his mind was beginning to stir again.
"No! Wait a minute, brother! I'll think of another way! Don't get so excited, okay? I'll think of another way!"
Wu Xiangwang shouted in his head: [I really don't dislike you! I just need to be careful, careful every time I transform!]
After finally calming down the restless brother, Wu Xiangwang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I hope his friends can be more helpful and find other problems, so that he won’t have to activate new fierce brothers and can rely on Xiao Ba and the others to survive.
However, Wu Xiangwang was disappointed.
He looked at his friends with a feeling of disappointment.
"You haven't found a possible problem?" How can I survive like this?
The seven friends all looked a little ashamed, but Shang Chong soon raised his head and said, "It's mainly because there's too much negative energy along the way. The more semi-humans gather around us, the faster our mushrooms grow!"
"Wangwang, you don't know! Mould Mushroom, Laobao, and I have been running around the city as fast as we can to explore, but this city is full of traps! Everywhere is filled with unspeakable negative energy. The three of us have a total of three Dejection Mushrooms, but by two o'clock in the afternoon, our mushrooms had grown to such a size that we couldn't even hold the basin!"
"Yes, Brother Wangwang, in the end we still planted two mushrooms on the spot, and finally the three of us worked together to carry one back, and we came back safely!" Wu Xingyun was also explaining himself.
"Look at that empty little garden outside our hotel. That's the depressing mushroom we three brought back to plant. I'm sure you've never seen a mushroom this big with such strange patterns!"
Qian Bao said this with great confidence, and even asked Wu Xiangwang to go see the small garden where nothing was planted.
Wu Xiangwang stretched his neck to take a look and saw three huge mushrooms, each about the size of six people, standing in a row in the small garden.
On average, a mushroom is as big as two people.
Don’t forget each other: “…”
"How are the mushrooms? Have they grown extra large? This means the path we're exploring today is filled with danger!"
Shang Chong opened his arms and gestured to measure the size of the mushroom.
But he soon met the gaze of his father Wangwang, which was indifferent and even a little disgusted.
“???”
"Aren't those three mushrooms downstairs big?"
Wu Xiangwang thought back to the towering mushroom that had grown to a hundred meters in less than half an hour beside the energy wheat field, and the strange giant dejection mushroom that had killed the earl. "In my eyes, any mushroom that's not more than a hundred meters tall can't be considered big."
"You're all so small!"
Shang Chong: “…”
Others: “.”
We're clearly talking about mushrooms, but why do we feel like we're alluding to something big?!
But soon everyone understood why Wu Xiangwang looked down on the two-man-sized mushrooms in the yard.
Compared to a mushroom that can reach a hundred meters in half an hour, it's really... small.
Wu Xingyun's expression was a mixture of pride and a bit of guilt and worry. "Well, when we distribute the mushrooms later, how about we put up a sign next to it?"
"What is the content?"
[The Depression Mushroom absorbs negative energy and grows, allowing everyone to maintain a happy, positive, and progressive mood. However, the Depression Mushroom itself is extremely toxic and depressing, having already caused the death of an Earl Weird. Please do not consume it!]
At five o'clock, the human adventurers gathered in the East City Gate Square looked at the big sign with expressions of shock, joy and subtlety.
Is that dead weirdo stupid?
That mushroom looks like it's extremely poisonous and can't be eaten, but you actually put it in your mouth?
Tsk, they are smart people who won’t eat poisonous mushrooms!
No, it's the God Mushroom! They only work hard to worship the mushroom!
So, that night, a team of a hundred people took away their own Depressing Peace Mushrooms and brought the mushrooms to every area of the Exiled City.
It provides a solid mass foundation for mushrooms to occupy the entire city in the future.
