Chapter 130 Now Professional Players Are Entering the Competition (6k)
As the long string of divine tunes and raps was finished, Xu Changjiang's body suddenly shuddered.
The whole person has a more feminine and handsome temperament, and his words and actions have some small habits that are not typical of humans.
Lu Wenwu, who had a deep understanding of the fox race, could tell without the Eye of Insight that the fox had been possessed by the Hu family's immortal, and was currently in a semi-bound state.
In layman's terms, it means that the immortals have bestowed a certain state, which is similar to the combination of Lu Wenwu and Maomao's martial soul fusion and the exciting and thrilling skills.
There is also a state of binding the dead acupoint.
This may sound strange, but it's actually just the old man in fantasy novels playing for others. There's nothing special about it.
After inviting the immortal to possess his body, the aura emanating from Xu Changjiang suddenly became more powerful.
"I'm ready now."
He nodded to the few people, sat back on his mount, and picked up the old flashlight again.
Big Crow couldn't help but ask, "Why is your song 'Bang Bing Jue' rapping?"
"Uh, this."
Xu Changjiang scratched his face a little embarrassedly.
"There's a Hu family immortal who's close to me who likes to hear this, so whenever I want to call her, I use the rap version. The other immortals will know that it's a disciple who's calling her."
"Strange, strange, even these vixen like to listen to this kind of stuff!" The big crow cackles strangely. "Do you know the name of this immortal? When I return this time, I will definitely have a good talk with her."
"I think her name is Su Yalan?" Xu Changjiang said uncertainly, "She is from the Su family fox clan. She comes out to earn some extra money when she has nothing to do."
Lu Wenwu stood by without saying a word.
Damn, he knows this fox!
Familiar fox!
Su Qinghong's aunt!
It is said that he is a top-level demon monster who is about to ascend to heaven by following the orthodox path, but is now stuck at the last step of accumulating merit.
Unfortunately, in the dungeon world, even if the opponent uses the Death Bound Technique to descend upon you, the power is extremely limited.
Otherwise, if we use some connections, we might be able to win the game.
At this moment, the little cow suddenly took out the longbow from behind and quickly drew the bow and put an arrow on it.
"Be careful, there are monsters!"
At the extreme point where the flashlight could reach, a monster about three meters long suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Its appearance is very similar to that of a human, but it has only a big bloody mouth on its face.
Its entire body is extremely long and narrow, as slender as skin and bones, with sharp claws on its hands.
[Howling Demon (B+)]: 4687/? ? ?
[Current Status]: Void Body, Divine Power Infiltration, Body Transformation
The little cow's body was bent like a full moon, and two streaks of light flashed across its body.
The arrow in his hand flew across the sky like a meteor, splitting into eight pieces in the air. Each arrow carried a highly concentrated fire element.
At a distance of just twenty or thirty meters, the sharp arrow hit the target in an instant.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Explosions rang out one after another, allowing the people under the flashlight to vaguely smell a burning smell.
However, the tall monster only paused for a moment, and then started running instantly, roaring silently, and staggered towards the location of the few people.
"Damn it, it's a spirit!"
Disciples who go out to perform rituals usually also work as ghost agents. Xu Changjiang recognized the other party's nature at once and immediately summoned a soul-devouring beast to release a white shock wave towards the other party.
This is a subspecies bred by hybridizing the Boer elephant with creatures from the Western Hell.
It sacrificed its powerful abilities, reducing its breeding costs while retaining only its special attack against souls.
The little cow quickly replaced the silver-plated enchanted arrows that could cause damage to the soul and continued to shoot rapidly.
The big crow suddenly spun its wings and shot out four black feathers with fierce sword energy, rushing towards the spiritual monster like bullets.
The next moment, a situation occurred that left the two people and the bird stunned.
Their attacks actually passed through the opponent's body and fell completely into the air, failing to cause any harm to the opponent!
What the hell is this!
The attack method is invalid!
The opponent's strength is unknown!
In these two seconds, Xiao Li Mo was less than five meters away from them.
Behind everyone was the narrow passage they had come through, which had now completely collapsed, leaving them with nowhere to retreat.
The only solution right now seems to be to bet on the opponent's attack power and rush out in one breath, maybe there is still hope of survival.
"Follow me, I'll lead you out!"
The big crow flapped its wings noisily, as if it was taut like a bowstring, ready to shoot out at any time.
However, its preparation was stopped.
Lu Wenwu, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, stood at the front of the team.
He swung the soul-hooking rope in his left hand forward and it accurately hooked onto the collarbone of the Howling Demon.
Then he suddenly pulled back, causing the howling demon to stagger and fall flat on the ground!
The long neck and head fell just in front of Lu Wenwu.
He held a white fluffy mourning stick in his right hand, swung his arm and smashed it down hard.
"boom!"
The whole earth roared and shook in an instant.
The light white mourning stick was as heavy and powerful as a ground-shaking hammer.
The upper half of the howling demon's body was completely smashed to pieces, and terrifying air currents scattered in all directions, emitting sharp howls like the sorrow of a dead soul.
[You gained 0.1 free attribute points]
"Dead?"
AC The little cow froze in place as he was drawing the bow and arrow.
"Dead, really dead!" the big crow cackles, "Tyrannosaurus, how did you do that?!"
"This thing is called a Howling Demon. It's a mindless ghost that breeds in places with heavy yin and evil energy. It's actually quite weak."
Lu Wenwu hung the soul-catching rope back around his waist and pointed at the remaining half of the body that was dissipating.
"When it opens its mouth and roars, its body becomes ethereal. We can't hit it, and it can't hit us either. But when it closes its mouth, it packs a powerful punch and kills with one strike. That's why the cow's first explosive shot was effective."
“You you.”
Xu Changjiang pointed at Lu Wenwu in amazement, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
As a disciple of the Taoist priest and a qualified person who has passed through the underworld, although he was not selected to participate in the world dungeon last time, his familiarity with the underworld is definitely better than those players who participated in the world dungeon.
If others don’t recognize him, how could he not recognize him!
The soul-catching rope, the mourning stick, and the soul-binding chain around the waist!
This is the three-piece set of ghost messenger!
"Tyrannosaurus, are you a human or a ghost?" Xu Changjiang finally asked his question, "How come you have the standard equipment of a ghost messenger?!"
"Me? Of course I'm human."
Lu Wenwu showed a kind smile and opened the electronic work permit on his personal terminal.
"Well, let me introduce myself again. I'm the elephant breeder of Fumo Sibo, the deputy director of the Materials Management Department of Tiandi Bank of Gongyang Pavilion, a ghost food R&D engineer and spiritual food consultant of the Wangchuan Ghost Food Bureau, and a member of the Special Strategic Support Team of the Ghost Gate Security Bureau."
"He was once awarded one of the 2024 Ghost Gate Security Bureau's Top Ten Outstanding Civil Servants and one of the 2024 Outstanding Young People of the Underworld. Among the ghost food world, he's nicknamed the God of Egg-Filled Pancakes in the Underworld."
"Holy crap, you're Gui An's agent!? How is this possible?!"
Xu Changjiang, who had always seemed a little shy, burst into a trembling scream for the first time.
Now he feels like a mouse seeing a cat.
Walking ghosts is considered normal in the underworld, but they are people who walk in a gray area.
Everything will be fine if you don't mention black or white.
If we really want to arrest him, we can find a reason to do so.
Therefore, people in this line of work are generally reluctant to get close to ghost messengers, let alone team up to go into dungeons.
Lu Wenwu shrugged. "I took the test while participating in the world dungeon before, and I didn't expect to pass it. When I came back, King Yama specially approved me to keep my position, so technically I am still a ghost messenger now."
smoothly?
Just passed the exam to become a ghost catcher?
And also joined the most mysterious Gui'an Special Strategic Support Group in the underworld?
Xu Changjiang was silent.
He wants to be quiet now.
As an ordinary player, Hunter AC Little Cow didn't feel much about the fact that Lu Wenwu was a ghost messenger.
The only thought is that the road ahead should be easier.
The big crow, who often dealt with death and ghosts, seemed a little excited and chatted with Lu Wenwu about the following things. It turned out that the two sides actually had several common friends.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire team became strange and harmonious.
The three people and the bird just walked forward.
Xu Changjiang diligently used a flashlight to provide lighting, and at the same time summoned two defensive summoned beasts to guard the surroundings to prevent sudden attacks.
The artificial AC cow played the role of a hunter and released its baby - the hound to patrol back and forth, trying to find some clues.
Lu Wenwu's job was much simpler.
Whenever the big crow made a "cackle" warning sound, he would throw out the soul-catching rope, pull the Howling Demon back and kill it with a stick. They cooperated very well.
When Lu Wenwu killed the eleventh howling demon, a tattered notebook fell from its body. In addition to a map and a spherical pointer pointing to a certain direction, it was also filled with a lot of incomprehensible words.
Lu Wenwu, who knew the language of all things, looked through it for a while and explained to them:
"It says here that the place we are in is called the Chaos Maze. This is because an evil god whose name cannot be seen has descended upon this world, causing the spatial power and space here to become completely chaotic."
"The Chaos Maze has become a maze-like existence due to the power of the evil god. It is filled with the divine power emitted by the evil god. Only a special candle lamp can temporarily eliminate the interference of this divine power. That old flashlight is it."
Having said that, Lu Wenwu followed the markings on the spherical pointer, pointed to a corner of the map, and moved all the way to the center.
"We are roughly at this point now. We can only leave here by going to the middle. There will be howling demons constantly attacking us along the way."
The contrived AC cow asked, "Our main mission is to survive for thirty days. Is it okay to stay here the whole time? I brought plenty of water and food, more than enough for us."
Lu Wenwu shook his head. "No, it's written in the notes that the Chaos Domain will erupt with divine power every seven days. Except for the Howling Demon, all creatures inside will die. It's best not to gamble."
"Well, it seems we have to hurry up and get out." The little cow patted his dog with some regret, "Shall we follow this map and walk all the way there?"
"No, that's too much trouble."
Lu Wenwu shook his head and walked straight to the wall next to him.
The eye of insight is open, and all information is at a glance.
[Stone Wall Infused with Divine Power]: 50000/50000
[Current Status]: Divine power infiltration, property change, damaged
Without any hesitation, Lu Wenwu circulated his blood and energy and punched out suddenly.
"boom!"
The bricks on the wall exploded into pieces in an instant, and shocking cracks spread outward like spider webs, and a huge dent appeared in front of Lu Wenwu.
Then, he threw out thousands of punches again in a very short period of time.
Each punch is faster and heavier than the last.
Until the wall groaned under the weight and collapsed completely, revealing a passage leading to other places.
This move immediately left the other three teammates dumbfounded.
Lu Wenwu tilted his head and said, "Let's go. Only fools would take a detour. Let's go in a straight line."
Xu Changjiang, sitting on his mount, was extremely stunned. He said in a daze, "How can the walls of this maze be broken through? This doesn't make sense!"
"Indeed, Tyrannosaurus, how did you know this wall could be penetrated?" The contrived AC cow exclaimed in amazement. "I thought there was a solid wall behind it, or something indestructible."
"Your thinking is too limited." Lu Wenwu shrugged. "This place was originally normal. It was just cut and transformed by divine power. Plus, the materials soaked in divine power are more difficult to destroy. In fact, it's still a combination of ordinary building materials, so it's natural to take advantage of it."
"If that's the case, then leave it to me!" The big crow volunteered. "My sword energy is incredibly powerful!"
"Okay, let me check the direction and shoot this way first, towards the ground."
Since someone offered to help, Lu Wenwu naturally would not refuse and devoted himself to the action of seducing the soul and killing it.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
0.1 free attribute point is also an enhancement!
This vigorous drilling operation lasted for a full half day.
Front, back, left, right, up, down, move back and forth in several directions.
If it weren't for the map in Lu Wenwu's hand and the spherical pointer that always pointed to the center, it would be impossible to find the correct direction.
The four-member team, who took an unconventional approach, forced their way through the entire maze and, in a very brutal and unreasonable way, exploited a bug and arrived at the center where the power of space was the most concentrated.
Lu Wenwu also killed a lot of howling demons on the way, and accumulated 3.2 free attribute points.
Thirty-two howling demons died tragically under the mourning stick.
The central area is a huge square.
Of course, it is also possible that it is a huge room, but the range of the candlelight is not large enough to illuminate the roof.
In the central area, a space teleportation wormhole flashing with silver light slowly rotates, releasing fluctuations of spatial force.
A monster with a bull's body, covered with a chitinous shell and a sheep's head on its neck, walked back and forth in the darkness.
Those chaotic red eyes were filled with confusion and disorder, and fishy saliva dripped from the sharp teeth. Every bulging and deformed muscle concealed a powerful explosive force.
It seemed to have only the instinct to thirst for blood, and was not a real living being.
Dark Distortion (A): 100 0000/100 0000
[Current Status]: Hungry, Violent, Angry, Divine Power Infiltration, Body Transformation
The contrived AC cow used his skills to detect it and whispered to Lu Wenwu, "The opponent is quite powerful. What should we do?"
"How to do it? Easy."
Lu Wenwu answered without even thinking:
"First, pluck the hair, drain the blood, and clean it. Once it's clean, blanch it in boiling water, skim off the foam, then cool it down with ice water. Then, boil water in a different pot and add plenty of angelica root, galangal, Sichuan peppercorns, aniseed, cinnamon, bay leaves, tsaoko, fennel, cooking wine, and dried chilies to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor."
"Add an appropriate amount of water, a little salt to enhance the base, dark soy sauce for color, light soy sauce for flavor, and rock sugar for flavor. Simmer in a wood-fired pot for more than three hours, then remove the dish and sprinkle with Lao Ma's fragrant pepper salt, a little vinegar, black and white sesame seeds, and scalding rapeseed oil. Son of the Soul, pour it over!"
The contrived AC cow: "."
There seems to be nothing wrong with doing this, and it sounds delicious.
But what I asked was what we should do next, not how to do it next, brother!
Xu Changjiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Brother Tyrannosaurus, what the cow means is, how should we deal with this monster in front of us? Should we focus our fire on it or go around it?"
"Oh, sorry, my occupational illness has kicked in." Lu Wenwu said apologetically, "This thing is officially called the Dark Aberrant, nicknamed the Sheep-Headed Bull Demon. Let me kill it. I'll show you a textbook hunting tutorial."
"Huh?"
The big crow tilted its head, expressing doubts about Lu Wenwu's textbook-style hunting.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the two men and the bird, Lu Wenwu took the lead and jumped out, shouting, "Hey! Sun thief!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the sheep-headed bull demon who was strolling around the portal suddenly sensed something and turned around to glare at the person who was mocking him.
The four sturdy hooves under its feet scratched the ground fiercely, and it rushed forward like a rumbling train.
Lu Wenwu did not dodge or evade, but silently raised his right arm, clenched his fist and stretched it out, facing the sheep-headed bull demon that was charging forward with its head lowered.
"laugh!"
The next second, Lu Wenwu's forearm penetrated the sheep-headed bull demon head completely without any hindrance like a spear.
"Shh."
He just lightly hooked his right hand back, and Lu Wenwu took off the complete sheep head with a blood hole as big as a fist in the middle of the forehead, and held it in his hand by the thick sheep horns.
[You gained 10 free attribute points]
[You killed the Dark Aberrant (lv. 44)]
[You completed the side quest - First Encounter with the Devil]
Mission Description: The Dark Aberrant is an indispensable member of the dark creatures. Due to the unknown influence of the evil god's power, it has undergone some changes and even completely lost its sanity, but it has gained a stronger power than before.
[Your overall personal rating has been greatly improved]
"Huh? It's dead already?" The big crow jumped around excitedly.
Lu Wenwu put the huge sheep's head away and nodded. "Yeah, there's plenty of this stuff in the Western Hell. It's quite common in the food bureau's food warehouse. I eat it all the time. Don't be fooled by its ferocious appearance, but it's actually just an idiot. If you curse at it, it will rush over in anger."
"There's a crack on the forehead of this creature's skull. If you hit it off-center, it'll hit the hardest part of its body. If you hit it right, it'll hit the weakest part of its body. Even a B+ rank can easily kill it if you remain calm."
"Let me tell you, the meat from this Sheep-Headed Bull Demon is incredibly delicious. It's incredibly fresh and tasty, and it's delicious no matter how you cook it. Once we get to a safe place, I'll stew it, and we'll have a delicious meal."
"It's a pity that this Sheep-Headed Bull Demon has too much waste meat. Apart from the head, the rest of the meat is not tasty. The tendon meat is always hard, sour and smelly no matter how you cook it. Even the evil ghost dogs in the Evil Dog Ridge despise it."
"Quack! I love eating mutton!" The big crow was the first to respond.
The contrived AC cow was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "The hunter eats the prey, that's reasonable."
Only Xu Changjiang, the only "normal person" in the team, was a little overwhelmed.
Damn, what kind of people are these teammates!
And why would the Ghost Food Bureau of the Forgotten River in the underworld store such horrifying creatures as food? Damn it!
After dealing with the sheep-headed bull demon, the next step is to enter the portal.
As a summoner, Xu Changjiang has fully realized the fact that his big brother is leading the team. In order not to hold the team back, he took the initiative to summon a rabbit and threw it over to explore the way.
After confirming that the rabbit was alive, the four of them decisively crossed the wormhole and escaped from the chaotic and confusing maze inside.
The three people and the bird who had already been teleported away didn't notice anything at all.
This central space with a space wormhole cannot be entered through normal means.
You need to keep killing the howling demons in the chaotic maze.
Some howling demons have special spatial powers in their bodies, and they will drop unique spatial aura after being killed.
Use this as proof, and collect four copies before you can teleport directly into this area.
In the end, you either have to kill the Bull Demon with the Sheep Head by force, or go around it and rush directly into the wormhole to escape.
Perhaps even the natives of the copy world did not expect that someone could forcibly dismantle the chaotic space combination all the way to the center and kill the sheep-headed bull demon with one punch.
This is similar to how, when you're playing an escape room, the fastest way to pass it is definitely not to follow the instructions, but to use all your strength to destroy the mechanism.
At the same time, in other parts of the chaotic maze, escape and counterattack were taking place.
The one who made the fastest progress among the other four groups had just figured out the weaknesses and characteristics of the Howling Demons, found a way to deal with them, and began to hunt them in reverse to think of a way to pass the level.
And the progress is slow.
Still being chased by the Howling Demon, running away like a headless fly.
Some teams even lost their candles and could only run around in the dark passages like blind people who had lost their five senses, not knowing where they were.
After passing through the space wormhole, the previous oppressive black suddenly disappeared, replaced by normal black.
The group looked at the beautiful building in front of them that was emitting a dark aura.
On the gate was a golden plaque dyed black with two large, somewhat crooked characters written on it: Dragon Palace.
