Chapter 403: Rusty City Strange Stories

"You should have guessed it."

After saying that, Gan Mi stopped talking. He focused all his attention on the new creation inside the egg. The light reflected in his eyes, rippling with shadows.

Xu Zhiyan didn't say anything. He recalled the first time he met Xinan in the Nightmare Community.

No matter how Xinan behaves to others, this guy always seems a little dazed and slow when he meets him, as if he is not in a clear mind, but he is very obedient.

Thinking of what Jin Sheng had conveyed to Xinan before, the blind spots in the conversation connected one by one...

No wonder Xinan had never hurt him before, and even the thought of hurting him was not allowed.

"I could only look at him through two people."

Ghosts and gods, Yan Chengfan.

There was a huge chasm between Xinan and him.

Xu Zhiyan understood in his heart that, like all the slices, the price a creature that had stolen the power of ghosts and gods would have to pay was not to be able to harm him.

However, considering Xinan's obedient side when facing him, Xu Zhiyan became more active.

The lights flickered a few times, and gravel continued to fall in the trembling space. There was a sound of fighting outside the door. Perhaps because the distance was too far, the sound was not clear, distant and ethereal, and out of reach.

After staring at the door for a while, Xu Zhiyan took two steps towards Gan Mi.

His voice was full of temptation.

"You, give me some money?"

If all creatures that have stolen the power of ghosts and gods are influenced and obey him, then...

"Xu Zhiyan, are you okay? Are you obsessed with money?" Gan Mi turned his head suddenly and his voice suddenly rose.

If an ordinary person suddenly heard this kind of decryption, he would be shocked and might even have complicated feelings towards Xinan. He never expected that after hearing this, Xu Zhiyan only had eyes for making money from him!

After hearing such an outrageous statement, Gan Mi increased the strength of his hands, and the monster in the transparent egg was strangled so hard that its eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Wake up! My power has nothing to do with Him! I even bought my shell with money!"

Gan Mi cast an incredulous look at Xu Zhiyan and explained loudly.

"This gambler lost everything in the end. I did spend money!" He put his free hand to use and raised it to point at the tip of his nose.

Unlike Yan Chengfan and Xinan who were affected by ghosts and gods, Gan Mi was very clear that he was not affected in any way.

He knows what he is doing.

His actions are based only on his own thoughts.

After listening to this, Xu Zhiyan spoke in disappointment.

"Is that so? I thought you could give me some gold coins."

He was certainly shocked by what happened in Xinan.

But it was not him who stole the power, nor was he who was affected. Even if Xinan wanted revenge, the one he should kill should be the Mimic.

"I'm not your father! Why don't you give me some gold coins?" Gan Mi laughed in anger.

Unexpectedly, after listening to this, Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and spoke sincerely.

"If you are willing to call me father, I will give you a few gold coins."

"..." Gan Mi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the insidious and cunning human in front of him actually wanted to take advantage of him!

"Gulp! Gulp!"

The sound of bubbles rising and bursting from the monster inside the egg struggling brought Gan Mi back to his senses.

He suppressed the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth and spoke with a cold snort.

"Do you think those powers are good things?"

The more powerful the force, the more difficult it is to control.

"The Boss was the only Mimic who managed to obtain some of His power. The rest are dead."

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and agreed with this.

He had also felt the overwhelming fighting spirit when he used his right hand. It was clearly the power given by the ghosts and gods themselves, but even this was mixed with the madness of tearing the soul apart. It was conceivable what the end of the thief would be.

Seeing that Xu Zhiyan wanted to ask more, Gan Mi said meaningfully: "I don't know any more. If Xinan died, I could dig out his memories for you to see, but his memories don't only contain his own memories."

Xu Zhiyan heard the other party's hint.

"You want to kill him?"

"Why not kill him?" Gan Mi asked back: "If I don't kill him, will he come and kill me?"

He still had the wounds from Xinan's sneak attack.

The deep wounds on his back from his right shoulder to his left waist were so deep that the bones could be seen. Blood oozed from time to time, and the torn skin and flesh turned outward. If Gan Mi was just a human, he would probably be unable to stand up by now.

Xu Zhiyan saw how fiercely the two men fought before.

The cooperation between the three was not stable to begin with, and once the monster died, a fight between the two was inevitable.

If Xinan was once the chosen vessel of the Mimic, it would make sense for him to want to kill all the Mimics now.

Without waiting for Xu Zhiyan to speak again, Gan Mi's face showed a relaxed expression.

"Mission 1 is over."

“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka”

The color of the egg quickly dimmed, the skin hardened, and cracks appeared. As Gan Mi spoke, a crackling sound came into the air, and the monster in the egg twitched violently, and finally died.

The moment the mucus nourished by desire and life touches the air, it turns from clear to turbid.

A strange fishy smell filled the space, making people feel sick.

The corpse of the monster inside the egg and the darkened liquid slid out from the broken skin, and the gray body just lay straight on the ground.

What was even more bizarre was that the mouth on its abdomen was slightly open, emitting a faint red light.

It’s like… there’s some treasure.

You have to know that this is a dungeon, so it's not surprising that the monsters killed will drop any kind of items, and there are many cases of players fighting over high-level items.

But Gan Mi and Xu Zhiyan were both businessmen and cautious by nature. Not only did they not rush forward to fight for it, but they both took a few steps back at the same time.

Xu Zhiyan raised his chin: "Add another knife."

Gan Mi sneered in response, and the invisible Earth Blade arrived next to the monster's corpse in the blink of an eye.

“Puff—Ahhhhhh!”

Just as the corpse was being cut into pieces, the mouth on the monster's abdomen suddenly screamed.

It's a fake death!

It absorbs human vitality to allow its intelligence to develop rapidly. When it realizes something is wrong, it makes a decisive decision and lures the two people with strong vitality to come closer...

Almost there…

It's almost hatching successfully!

It deliberately let these people in and ensured a smooth journey, just to get enough vitality in the final stage of incubation.

As long as it survives the most vulnerable stage, it will gain a new life!

But it was of no avail.

More and more attacks came down, and in just a few seconds, the entire monster's body was split into many pieces.

The monster shattered into pieces, and the faint red light that had attracted their attention before also revealed its original form - a key without a red crystal wrapping.

The invisible air rolled the key into the air.

"The key to the Final Dungeon?"

Gan Mi was stunned at first, then couldn't help laughing.

"Unfortunately, the main system is really impatient. This thing hasn't even developed its thoughts yet, but it wants it to replace the mimic to do things."

It's not hard to tell from his sarcastic tone that he is very disdainful of this.

"To be honest, this kind of arrogance is really disgusting."

As a creation of the main system, the mimic possessed similar arrogance. Gan Mi had never liked the arrogance engraved in his soul, especially when he discovered that he also possessed this trait inevitably.

The sounds of battle in the distance became a little quieter, the rule monsters were withering, and the vengeful spirits soon gained the upper hand.

Xu Zhiyan smiled and didn't respond.

The air suddenly became subtle.

Manipulating the air to make the key fall into his hand, Gan Mi glanced at Xu Zhiyan, shook his head and spoke directly: "I can give you other rewards, but not this."

Of all the guilds, only Utopia obtained the key.

Nowadays, the main system is basically under the control of Yan Chengfan. Now with this key, the Utopia can get the final victory legitimately without any effort.

"I can give you money if you complete the mission."

"Ten million, twenty million is up to you, just name a price, as long as I can afford it. Don't even think about snatching it. The props cannot be used, so you can't snatch it."

Gan Mi is exceptionally generous.

He was willing to give everything except the key.

Moreover, he was certain that Xu Zhiyan would not be able to snatch it away even if he tried. In his eyes, the other party was not someone who was willing to do useless work.

Xu Zhiyan did not make any obvious move to rob. He shrugged and spoke with a smile.

"Don't be so absolute about everything."

The moment the other party finished speaking, Gan Mi noticed that there was fog all around him. He couldn't help but search for Xu Zhiyan's skills in his mind.

Mist... is it the slug that devours spirits?

He remembered that Xu Zhiyan once acquired a useless skill on the mermaid cruise ship. Later, Xu Zhiyan raised the black slug very well. It became black and fat, with meat sticking out from between his fingers.

But although the slug spirit can devour spirits, it cannot do anything to living people.

"You don't have to cheat me."

Gan Mi sneered, believing that this was Xu Zhiyan's trick.

However, the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

The sound of "forced plunder" rang in his ears, and Gan Mi felt his waist loosen up, and something was missing. He subconsciously reached out to pull his pants, and then he looked down and found that his belt had been plundered...

This time he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Forced plundering consumes 100,000 points each time, but the uncertainty is too great. Xu Zhiyan no longer has the skill of incredible luck, so he may not be able to get the key even if he uses it.

What's more, Xu Zhiyan's luck is obvious to all, so it would be strange if this kind of gambling-like spell would work.

"Your skill—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Gan Mi's expression suddenly changed.

Opposite him, Xu Zhiyan held the looted things in his left hand, and in his raised right hand was a fat slug with black and gold colors.

Can’t move…

Damn! This slug has learned a new trick!

Gan Mi felt as if his whole body was frozen and out of control. He suddenly knew why Xu Zhiyan had just activated various skills.

The slug's poison isn't in the fog at all, it's a mental attack!

When the fog appeared, he appeared relaxed on the surface but was actually on guard in his heart. He also sensed some toxins in the fog and easily blocked the poison. He did not take it to heart and did not even mention it.

I'm afraid Xu Zhiyan was testing him at that time, and after discovering that he would normally put up a mental defense, he launched a forced plunder...

Damn it! Who can keep their mental barriers stable when their belt is suddenly stolen?

Gan Mi miscalculated.

It was just a loophole of just a breath, but it was caught by the slug spirit.

On the other side, Xu Zhiyan loosened his clenched fist, and his palms were sweaty. He was not as relaxed as he looked.

“Arrogance is indeed a bad shortcoming.”

He laughed softly, walked slowly to Gan Mi, and put the belt on the other's arm.

The two were very close to each other. Gan Mi watched Xu Zhiyan pry open his fingers one by one, take the key from his palm and put it into his pocket.

"You are really not in a hurry. When did you learn the skills?" he couldn't help but ask.

In most cases, no matter what skills a player acquires, other people can realize that the other party has a new skill just by watching the live broadcast, even if they cannot guess it correctly.

Skills can only be used in the game. Usually, when players get a skill, they will choose to use it in the game, especially the evolutionary skills that do not have more references for comparison.

"What is this skill called?"

Gan Mi didn't expect that she would fail in terms of skills.

Xu Zhiyan was more patient than he thought. He endured it for who knows how long without using this skill even once.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the question, Xu Zhiyan suddenly turned his head away and avoided Gan Mi's gaze.

"The name of the skill... I won't tell you."

[Skill name: I don’t want to eat ghosts anymore]

【Consumption: None】

[Skill details: The slugs cause sea fog, and the salty taste is a hidden attack that can not only attack the target's body, but also the target's mind. The poisoned person will become stiff, unable to move and unable to use skills.]

[Note: This skill is acquired when the Slug Spirit evolves into the Slug King Spirit. The stronger the target, the shorter the control time.]

[Special Tips: During the skill comprehension process, the caster showed a strong desire, and the skill name was modified. Players are requested to distinguish carefully. ]

God knows how confused Xu Zhiyan was when he saw the name of the skill for the first time.

Previously, because the slug spirit showed extraordinary aptitude, as if it was about to comprehend some skills, he tried his best to catch spirits and buy spirits for the slug spirit to eat.

Later, it was discovered that the more ferocious ghosts the slug spirits ate, the faster they grew. With Xu Zhiyan's financial resources, of course, all kinds of fierce ghosts would come into his bowl...

By eating a lot every day, the slug spirit successfully evolved into the slug king and also mastered some skills.

Well, the skill is quite useful, but the name is a bit socially awkward.

However, as a pragmatist, Xu Zhiyan is still very satisfied with this skill. He has always been reluctant to use his skills. In a way, it is also to maintain his personality.

Only if Gan Mi believed that he was weak could the Slug King Ling's skills succeed.

The result is perfect.

The key to the End of the Dungeon was finally obtained.
