When Wu Xiangwang was staring at the last beauty mission and couldn't help thinking about how to find the city lord's brother-in-law, the shouts of old players such as Chi Yan drew his attention back.

"Everyone, don't look at the mission board for now. You'll have a month to look at it. You'll see it in every city you visit. It'll be enough to make you tired."

"It's almost dark now. We need to hurry to the human support center in this city to rest, otherwise we'll run into the night carnival. That's even more dangerous and crazy than the night in the wild."

These words made the faces of the newlyweds present change. Although they had not seen the city's night carnival, they knew without a doubt that it would not be a beautiful scene.

Everyone quickly gathered together and followed Chi Yan and the others to the west of the city. They walked along the main road of Carnival City for about 300 meters, then turned right and entered a street behind the main road.

This street is not as wide as the main road, and the houses on both sides of the street are much shorter and more dilapidated than the three- or four-story castle buildings on the main road.

This obvious contrast made Wu Xiangwang suddenly feel that this was the "slums" of the crazy city.

Look at the shabby bungalow in front with a big hole in the roof. If it weren't for the smoke coming out of the chimney, he would never believe that such a house is habitable.

However, Chi Yan and the others led everyone straight towards the big dilapidated bungalow.

Xiannan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Three minutes later his premonition came true—

"Everyone, come in! Remember, this is our human stronghold in the City of Madness."

"We can get some basic help here, and we can also get some basic information about Crazy City."

"For example, if everyone has just arrived in Crazy City and can't afford to stay in a hotel yet, they can stay here temporarily."

Chi Yan said this as he politely knocked on the dilapidated gate outside the large bungalow. Even though the gate might fall down if he knocked twice more.

"Old Czech! We're here with new people! We're staying at your place tonight."

With a creak, the wooden door of the dilapidated bungalow was opened, and a serious and old face appeared in everyone's sight.

"Hmph, you guys are pretty fast this time. The guys from the Paladins who led the team last month didn't arrive until the seventh day. I wonder how many of this new group of newcomers will make it out."

Old Czech opened the gate as he spoke. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment Wu Xiangwang stepped into the gate, he felt as if he had passed through some barrier.

But he soon realized that it was not his illusion, because Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun also felt it. In addition to them, several other people felt it and looked around in confusion.

"Was there something just now?"

The thorny Dharma King has always been the least afraid of speaking, but once he opens his mouth, Wu Xingyun dares to follow suit.

"Yes, I think I also...felt like I passed through something."

"Yes, I felt it too. Could it be that something is secretly attacking us?!"

The bespectacled elite man shook his head. "Probably not. That feeling appeared when we entered the courtyard. I'm more inclined to believe it's a barrier protecting this house, this courtyard, or something."

Wu Xiangwang nodded slightly, this should be it.

Old Czech stood in the yard and looked at the dozen or so newcomers who seemed to be feeling unusual, and a look of satisfaction finally appeared on his old face.

"You chose a good person this time."

"Only five of the people brought by the Paladins last time felt the energy defense wall. So I'm not surprised that only eight of the more than a hundred people died in the end."

"I hope these dozens of you can live longer."

Wu Xiangwang's lips twitched slightly at this. This old man must have seen off so many newcomers and witnessed so many deaths, only to be able to talk about them failing every other sentence.

"Haha, old Czech, you're still so serious. Maybe this time will be different!" Chi Yan scratched his red fur. "The group I led took out a level 2 vampire vine on the way!"

Old Czech's cloudy eyes widened slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything and pushed open the door. "Come in quickly, it's getting dark, and the weirdos' carnival is about to begin."

"Also, have you told them that I'm not doing charity here? The energy shield needs to be charged by the core battery.

If you want to live in the house, you have to pay 10 copper coins per person. If you don't have money, you can sleep on the ground in the yard. Anyway, as long as you are within the energy barrier, you will not be attacked."

Chi Yan suddenly showed an embarrassed expression on his face. He really forgot to say it.

But now everyone knows it, so he doesn't need to say it anymore.

And their guidance really ended here. Tomorrow morning he and his team would leave here and head to the next city.

Although they already knew at this time that the journey home was almost impossible to succeed, who would be willing to really give up before the last moment and before exhausting the last bit of strength and reason?

Nothing can stop them except death.

Even if we are separated by thousands of miles, even if the road ahead is full of dangers and heavy rain.

After all, home is at the end of the road.

That warm and bright place that I think about day and night.

Chi Yan touched his red hair, smiled and walked into the house without saying a word.

The other old people seemed to have sensed something at this moment and walked into the house in silence.

At this time, they had a heavy yet persistent aura that was completely different from that of the newcomers, making it difficult for people to approach them for fear of disturbing something.

However, some people expressed dissatisfaction with the 10 copper coins fee for staying in the house: "Isn't this a human mutual aid base? We are all from Earth, why do we have to pay?"

"That's right, we just arrived here and are unfamiliar with everything. How can we possibly earn any money? Since we're all from the same planet, why can't we stay here for a night for free? Uh, we can sleep on the floor!"

The ones who spoke were a few new adventurers who looked very strong, as if they wanted to get some special treatment by relying on their numbers and strength.

However, before they could finish their words, a dozen small bomb balls appeared out of thin air in the hands of the old Czech. They crackled and looked very dangerous, as if they could explode at any time, instantly making all the noisy newcomers shut up.

"Haha, don't yell at me, old man. Even though I stopped traveling on my own initiative, I've been to many more cities than you little brats."

"You are just a bunch of weaklings in my eyes. Wait until you become level five users and pass through five cities before you come and ask me for free."

"And boys, let me give you a piece of advice.

This world has always only considered strength and not reason.

I've been especially kind and generous to you. If it were someone from another gathering place in the city, they might have sold you out completely!"

"Open your eyes wide tonight and take a good look at the world!"

Then Old Czech went back to the house, and soon another pale-faced girl came out of the house, "Any of you who want to live in this house, please come and pay me. If you don't pay, go outside and sleep on the floor.

Remember not to shout at night, as it will disturb the neighbors and attract ghosts, which is not good."

Then the pale girl stood at the door without saying a word, and no longer answered any questions asked by the newlyweds.

Shang Chong walked over to Wu Xiangwang and asked, "Wang, where are we going to sleep? In the house or in the yard?"

Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "How could an immortal man sleep on the floor outside?"

Shang Chong's mouth twitched. You pretended to be so well-dressed after entering the city, as if you didn't sleep on the cart last night.

Then Wu Xiangwang spoke again, "Let's all go to bed indoors. But before we go to bed, we can go to the yard and take a look outside."

The last sentence of Old Czech obviously had a hidden meaning, and what he was referring to was probably the "carnival" in the carnival city tonight.

At present, it seems that the first of the three tasks to be abandoned in the main city is the beauty task. Without knowing who the city lord's brother-in-law is and what his aesthetic taste is like, this task is almost impossible to carry out.

Although the remaining merchant missions seem much simpler and safer than the brave missions, Wu Xiangwang believes that the "Yuanhe Battery" is definitely not a cheap item and is worth no less than 1,000 energy copper coins.

If you want to complete the merchant mission and earn money by doing ordinary tasks step by step, it is conservatively estimated that you will spend more than a month in this city.

And time is what he least wants to waste so far.

Although Chi Yan said that each city requires one to live there for one month before leaving, this is not written down. It is just an "unwritten rule" discovered or summarized by adventurers, and may not have to be strictly followed.

He must try to leave this city as soon as possible.

So after excluding the beauty mission and the merchant mission, the only thing left is the hero mission, which has a clear goal and can be completed quickly.

And if they want to complete the hero's mission, they naturally have to first see what kind of "carnival" this weird carnival they are going to participate in is.

Wu Xiangwang looked at the dark street outside the courtyard, hoping that he would not be too cruel.

So Shang rushed over and paid 30 energy coins.

Wu Xiangwang handed over 50 of his 150 energy copper coins to Shang Chong as team funds, which increased the loyalty of Wu Xingyun's subordinates by several points.

Then the three of them put the bedding rolls on the three adjacent wooden beds and quickly walked back to the yard.

At this time, the entire Crazy City was shrouded in darkness. When Wu Xiangwang thought that this darkness would last until the next morning, there was a loud bang -

The city actually lit up little by little.

Light blue light like phosphorescence lit up from the street lamps on both sides of the street, making the already eerie castle complex even more sinister.

And when all the blue fire lights in the city were lit up, the seventy or eighty newcomers standing in the yard also heard a strange roar that they would never forget.

Following the roar came countless eerie, shrill laughs and shouts:

"The carnival parade has begun!"

"I'm here? Where are you?!"

Bang bang bang bang——

The originally closed doors on both sides of the street were suddenly slammed open one by one, and then the weird creatures that stayed indoors during the day rushed out one after another at this time, and they gathered into a weird torrent on the street.

"A hundred ghosts are walking around at night!!" Someone roared in a trembling voice, unable to control himself.

"No, it should be 'One Hundred Ghosts Night Parade,'" the bespectacled elite man corrected him in a dry voice. "And judging by the noise, the entire city is out, there are more than a hundred ghosts running rampant... Kill them!"

Yes, it was a killing spree, not just walking on the streets like a hundred demons parading at night.

This group of crazy and weird creatures have no leader and do not require pedestrians to give way. The moment they rush out of the house, their killing spree has begun!

It was simply a lawless, arbitrary killing spree—

Wu Xiangwang saw a two-headed monster being grabbed by its neighbor, a five-armed monster, and having one of its heads bitten off as soon as it went out. But the five-armed monster didn't get away with it either, as its internal organs were hollowed out by the two-headed monster.

Then the two of them began to chase each other, bite and fight each other madly, as if the battle would never stop until one of them died!

Wu Xiangwang was unable to see who lived and who died between the two of them, but the fight between the two of them alone showed how deadly this carnival was.

But what’s even more terrible is that almost every weirdo on the street finds one or more opponents to start the “carnival” in this way.

Wherever they passed, blood of all colors splattered, their roars, some excited and some shrill, could almost pierce the eardrums, and the buildings on the streets were violently destroyed as they fought...

"A riot of demons" is probably the best description of the scene on the street.

Boom!!

At this moment, a strange creature was knocked high into the air and finally fell heavily on the sky above the courtyard where Wu Xiangwang and the others were standing.

When someone couldn't help screaming, a layer of golden light suddenly appeared in the sky above the dilapidated courtyard and blocked the weirdness.

Wu Xiangwang looked up. This was probably the energy barrier they felt when they passed through the courtyard gate.

"...Oh my God... Is this the kind of carnival we're supposed to be participating in? This is just a carnival! This is pure bloodbath!!!"

A female office worker with a low ponytail changed her tone. "We have to walk with them for fifteen minutes amidst this group of murderous monsters! Doesn't that mean we'll be chased by them for fifteen minutes?! How can we possibly complete such a mission?!"

No one answered her, because everyone's face had an extremely heavy expression at this moment.

Even Wu Xiangwang was thinking, if he turned into a completely strange Aedes albopictus, could he survive for fifteen minutes among this group of killing monsters?

"...I suspect he was killed by a punch before I could even fire out the three thunderbolts..." Shang Chong held his stomach, finally experiencing firsthand how weak and fragile the Mage King's psychics were in the early stages.

"...So, are we going to give up on the Hero Quest?" Hao Youjin frowned. "If I do the Merchant Quest, I'll need to work hard on the regular quests to earn money, but the rewards for those quests are relatively low. High rewards mean the risks are also high."

"Plus, if we complete the mission, we'll need to earn our own food every day and save money to buy purification stones. Even if the 'Elemental Core Battery' isn't too expensive, I'm afraid we'll have to stay in Crazy City for a month or even longer. Isn't that a bad idea?"

"Do you have the guts to take on the Hero's Quest? Look at these crazy and terrifying monsters!

I think merchant quests are pretty good. Didn't Brother Yan and the others say you have to stay in a city for at least a month before leaving? We could just use that month to complete the merchant quests, and then when the month is up, we'd just clear the level and leave. It's better than partying with the weirdos and dying, right?

Anyway, I've decided that our team will just go and do the merchant mission."

Then Wu Xiangwang heard several teams decide to do the merchant mission.

He frowned slightly.

Merchant missions are currently the most time-wasting tasks, and the way these people choose to complete merchant missions is not quite right.

But if merchant missions can be listed as main city missions together with brave missions and beauty missions, then there must be other better ways to complete merchant missions.

Because, completing tasks step by step to save money is definitely not the choice of a successful businessman.

"Maybe we can try to complete the hero mission together as a team? Just like teaming up to fight the weird weasel." Jin Ge spoke when everyone was talking.

“I feel that even if the world is full of malice towards us, it will not give us tasks that we cannot complete.

Although these monsters rampaging and killing on the streets are almost impossible to defeat, what if we find a quiet place in advance, lure a single monster there, and then the whole team fights it together? "

"We don't even need to completely kill it or defeat it. As long as we can fight this weird thing for fifteen minutes, we will have completed the hero's mission."

This experienced special forces soldier offered his answer: "Although completing Hero Quests this way is risky, if we can't even complete the simplest Hero Quest in the first city, the subsequent Quests will only become increasingly difficult, including the Merchant Quests. I don't think we can complete them all by simply completing daily Quests."

Many people who decided to do the merchant mission changed their expressions when they heard this.

Of course they knew that what the special forces soldier said made sense.

But, but!

They had just arrived in this world and had seen so many terrifying monsters and scenes all at once. They were not battle-hardened warriors, so how could they possibly have the courage to face those ferocious monsters right away?!

Bang!

Suddenly, the protective shield of the courtyard was slapped hard.

Everyone looked up in shock and saw the three-meter-tall monster with an antenna camera on its head!

Isn't this the weird one I took a photo of them in front of the city gate?!

"Haha! Haha! Haha, look what I found?"

Bang bang bang bang!

The antenna head began to slap the protective shield frantically and vigorously: "Useless human!"

"I Saw You!"

Bang!

"Come out! Come out right here!!"

Bang bang bang!

"This shabby house only has a level three protective shield! I can smash it to pieces in no time if I hit it a few hundred times!"

Bang bang bang bang!

"Come out here! Let me eat you! Let me take a picture of your most miserable and terrified expression!!"

Bang bang bang bang bang! !

"Come out, come out, come out, come out, come out, come out—"

Bang--

"Otherwise, once I break the barrier, I will kill and eat all of you! Aa ...

With the huge clapping sound that shook the entire courtyard, a large circle was quickly created around Wu Xiangwang.

Only Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun were still by his side.

Although no one spoke at this time, Wu Xiangwang, who was extremely sensitive to sight, had already felt dozens of frightened and urgent gazes.

No one spoke, he had been urged countless times.

"Fuck! Why are you all looking at him like that? Letting him go out now is the same as letting him die!!" Shang Chong couldn't stand the silence of this silent gaze and exploded.

It would have been fine if he didn't speak, but once he opened his mouth, it seemed like he had reason to be attacked.

"We didn't say anything, why are you so excited?"

"Who sent him to his death? It was clearly him who provoked this weirdness at the city gate, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, he can't let all of us bear the burden of the trouble he caused himself, right?"

"Brother Yan said that if there are any questions, just keep them to yourself and avoid provoking them if possible. It was he who insisted on asking questions."

"you,"

Shang Chong was so angry that he wanted to say something, but was suddenly stopped by Wu Xiangwang.

"What they said is correct. You have to clean up your own mess. I never let my agent clean up my mess."

"and……"

As he said this, everyone saw this young man, whose appearance was too handsome and could attract countless eyes just by standing there, slowly tie on his cloak with patterned beads, then reach out and put the hood of the cloak on his head to cover his head and face.

The next moment——

Under everyone's gaze, he lightly jumped up and rushed towards the weird person with the antenna head who was frantically flapping the energy shield!

“!!!”

“Oh my God—”

The people in the courtyard cried out in surprise, watching the figure rushing towards the strange mouth of the antenna.

At this time, the antenna monster had opened its huge mouth, waiting for this stupid human to come to the door automatically. However, when it was about to bite this useless human, the slender figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the foot with sharp barbs passed through its open mouth. Then, the gorgeous cloak brought up a graceful arc and the crisp sound of beads colliding, and the useless human who should have fallen into the trap fell accurately on its head.

"I have something to ask Him."

Bang!

Wu Xiangwang slapped the strange little round bump on the top of the antenna hard, causing five mosquito bites to appear on the small round bump.

"Hey, buddy, let me ask you again, can you take another photo of me? The kind where you can pose in any way you want and take as many photos as you want?"

Everyone: “??!!”

The antenna was stepped on the head, hit on the antenna, and had five big bites on the most tender tip of the antenna. The antenna was so weird that it was almost going crazy.

He suddenly let out an extremely terrifying roar, and waved his hands towards his own antenna!

"You're dreaming! Damn human, I'm going to eat you! Eat you, eat you, eat you—"

Wu Xiangwang dodged the two huge slaps with a sudden jump, and then rushed into the middle of the fight at an incredible speed.

The antenna roared strangely and chased after him angrily.

Shang Chong wiped his face and looked at Jin Ge, "Brother Jin, it seems that the fighting method you mentioned is feasible."

The battle-hardened special forces soldier pressed his brow together and said, "But the prerequisite is that we need a striker like Wangwang who is agile, brave, and particularly good at attracting hatred."

Everyone: “…”

Jin Ge suddenly coughed and turned to look at the people in the yard: "Is anyone dissatisfied with their photos?"

Everyone: “…………”

Damn it, do you think everyone is a psychopath who would go all out to be weird just for a pretty photo?!
