Less than five minutes after entering the City of Fear, Wu Xiangwang already felt more exhausted than in the previous three cities.
They didn't even have time to look at the quest to pass the City of Fear before they had to start running around the city gates and killing monsters.
"So how do we make these imagined horrors go away? Kill them all or shut their brains down?"
Wu Xiangwang said this as he stretched out his hands and knocked away several zombies that were grinning at him, and glared at Shang Chong fiercely: "Quickly stop thinking about the zombie siege in your head! What you think is the most troublesome thing for us brothers!!"
Although Wu Xingyun's Chainsaw Maniac and Wang Xiao's Shining Spirit are a bit elusive, they are at least fighting alone, and they are relatively easy to deal with in front of adventurers with super powers.
But zombies, these deadly undead monsters that can turn people into zombies with just one bite, are very troublesome. If they are not reduced quickly, they may all be infected and turned into zombies and die in this city.
Shang Chong was currently clutching his lightning ball, aiming it at any zombies he saw. He felt a bit overwhelmed, "I'm trying! But I can't control my mind! Ahhh, seeing zombies just makes me want to think more!"
Wang Xiao shouted from the side, "Shang Chong! What's 345 times 432?!"
Shang Chong paused for a moment before bursting into a swearing fit: "Fuck! How am I supposed to know what 345 times 432 equals? It's so hard! You shouldn't ask me about multiplication with more than one digit!"
Obviously, in these few seconds, Shang Chong's brain had escaped the fear of the zombies all over the city, but what made Wu Xiangwang feel bad was that the zombies did not disappear collectively just because Shang Chong stopped thinking about the fear. He converted the power of Aedes albopictus and flew directly into the sky to take a look. Fortunately, the number of zombies finally stopped increasing.
However, looking from the sky, the City of Fear is really chaotic. Almost everywhere in the city, there are screaming and running people. There is no quiet or safe place.
There are very few strange things to see in this city, but without them, humans can still torture themselves. Really...
Wu Xiangwang made a "tut" sound and suddenly dived down. With his enormous strength and extreme speed, he punched each small zombie and sent them all back to their hometown.
Wu Xiangwang discovered that once these monsters imagined by humans were killed, they would disappear directly without leaving behind any horrible corpses.
So this also proves from another perspective that these monsters are not real.
At this time, Shang Chong obviously couldn't stand being besieged by zombies anymore. He roared and fired three ball-shaped lightning bolts into the zombie group in succession. Then, three dazzling blue electric balls made a huge explosion, basically blowing up all the zombies that Shang Chong had "imagined".
After the explosion, Shang Chong's expression relaxed a little: "Actually, these zombies are not that scary. They are just ordinary zombies, not mutants..."
As Shang Chong's expression turned horrified, Wang Xiao was almost speechless. He shouted again, "Shang Chong, what's the name of the most beautiful internet celebrity you've ever seen? Is she pretty?"
Shang Chong uttered an "Ah!", his attention instantly diverted. "Of course she's pretty. She's Qiqi, with that perfect S-shaped figure, long legs, and a natural face without any plastic surgery..."
When Shang Chong wanted to talk about the mutated zombies, Wu Xiangwang really thought of knocking this guy out, or simply using a small butterfly to confuse him and make him have a dream. Fortunately, Wang Xiao spoke in time, preventing Shang Chong from thinking of a dozen more difficult mutated zombies.
However, when Wu Xiangwang saw the female zombie with an S-shaped figure, long legs and a plastic surgery snake-like face howling as she rushed towards Shang Chong, he found it difficult to describe his feelings.
"Okay, Shang Chong, just think about zombies like this. Don't think about anything else. Just take your Qiqi for a walk first."
Shang Chong's face was pale and he wanted to cry in front of the zombie Qiqi, but he felt that one was better than a group. He also knew that he couldn't think about anything else at this time. It was simpler to just focus on one point, so he simply directed all his thoughts to the zombie Qiqi.
So, Qiqi Zombie was first electrocuted by Shang Chong, but got up because Shang Chong was worried that she was not dead. Then she was electrocuted again by Shang Chong, but got up again because Shang Chong thought she might still be alive.
After so many ups and downs, life and death, Wu Xiangwang discovered that Qiqi's zombie howls were becoming more and more terrifying and shrill. Shang Chong's fear of Qiqi was also becoming more and more real.
Don’t forget each other: “…”
He turned to look at Wu Xingyun.
It turned out that Wu Xingyun was relatively simple and honest - he supported himself with a large, solid mushroom in front, behind, left, right and head, and then the chainsaw maniac was outside roaring, laughing and shouting while sawing his mushroom with a chainsaw.
Mushroom debris flew everywhere, but the mushrooms repaired quickly. In short, if the chainsaw maniac wanted to saw Wu Xingyun, he would probably have to fight with him until the end of time.
The most reliable one is Wang Xiao. Although he couldn't help but think about it because the atmosphere in the city was too terrifying, he had already solved the fearful things he was thinking about at that time.
The twin ghosts holding hands were no longer there, but Wang Xiao's face looked a little pale.
Wang Xiao saw Wu Xiangwang approaching, his expression a little serious: "In just these ten minutes, I have consumed one-fifth of the energy in my body."
Although one-fifth is not too much, so much is consumed in just over ten minutes. If the adventurers cannot control their thoughts and are always in "fear", it will only take two or three hours for them to exhaust their own internal abilities.
Wu Xiangwang obviously also thought of this. This should be a relatively fatal point hidden in the City of Fear.
However, they had just entered the City of Fear and were temporarily unprepared and difficult to control. Perhaps this situation would improve over time.
Also, fear is a contagious emotion. In this city, it is best not to stay in crowded places. It is enough to stay in small groups.
Wu Xiangwang thought about this and jumped directly to the task panel. He decided to take his teammates to a quiet place to calm his mind after reading the three main tasks.
Before coming, Wu Xiangwang had heard from Lu Zhihao and others that the missions in the City of Fear were all related to fear, but when he saw the three major tasks, he couldn't help but frowned.
[Brave Mission (Long-term): Prove that you are a brave person who is not afraid of fear.
Mission requirements: Walk alone through Elm Street at midnight for three consecutive days. While walking, you must imagine the monster you fear most and then defeat it.
Note: Only true fear can create monsters in Nightmare on Elm Street. Emptying your mind and thinking about monsters that are not very scary will not attract monsters.
So don’t do anything tricky, escaping is shameful and useless!
Mission Rewards:
1. Increased courage.
2. Items dropped by monsters.
3. The seal of approval for entering the City of Fear.
[Merchant Mission (Long-term): A true merchant will overcome all fears for the sake of money! As long as fear can be converted into money, even spooky and strange money can be earned!
Mission requirements: Make deals with at least ten ghosts and monsters that you fear, and get their high-priced items at low prices.
Mission Rewards:
1. Increased courage.
2. Obtain items through trading.
3. The seal of approval for entering the City of Fear.
[Beauty Quest (November): The Lord of Terror has suffered from boring, fearful dreams for years and wishes to experience emotions and dreams other than fear. We sincerely seek a human with a strong, fearless, yet emotionally rich character to join the City Lord's Mansion and help the Lord of Terror experience a wider range of emotions.
Quest Requirements: After accepting the quest, you must meet the Lord of Terror at the City Lord's Mansion and be under his gaze. At night, you will enter the Lord of Terror's dream. Success is considered complete if you overcome the fear within the Lord of Terror's dream and alter its context, causing the Lord of Terror to experience any sensation other than fear.
Mission Rewards:
1. Courage is greatly improved.
2. Have the opportunity to gain recognition from the Lord of Fear and receive the spiritual blessing of “fearlessness”.
3. The seal of approval for entering the City of Fear.
None of these three quests were easy; each one was more difficult than the last. First, the Beauty quest would likely be ruled out by all adventurers. It's easy to imagine which is scarier: the ghosts you imagine or the real Lord of Terror.
Then there are the merchant missions and the brave missions.
Merchant missions seem safer than brave missions, but unlike brave missions, which can directly kill the "fearful things" imagined by people, merchant missions require successful transactions with ghosts and monsters to complete the mission.
Comparing them, the Merchant Quest and the Hero Quest were about the same. However, neither quest was easy to complete.
Wu Xiangwang felt a little more confident and turned to go out, but he was surrounded from three sides by the three Sadako sisters who were crawling on the ground.
Sister Sadako, wearing a white dress and long hair, slowly raised her head and gave him a ferocious, fearful smile. Then... she rushed towards him like a gecko.
Wu Xiangwang flew up in dismay on the spot, then he shouted to Monk Wang Xiao and the other three through the air: "Let's go, I've finished the mission! Let's go to a quiet place where we can be alone. There are too many people here and the fear of human-to-human transmission is not conducive to living a good life!"
Wang Xiao nodded and got in first, followed by Shang Chong, screaming and scurrying. Wu Xingyun quickly emerged from his mushroom wall and sent the chainsaw maniac flying with a single blow. He seemed to have gained some courage.
Wu Xiangwang also flew towards the car at this time, but as soon as he flapped his wings, he felt a sense of malice that made him shudder.
He moved to the side in an instant, but was directly grasped tightly by two hands that appeared out of nowhere around his waist.
Don’t forget each other: “??!!”
Lin Yuan appeared opposite Wu Xiangwang almost at the same time. His expression was a little ugly, and he threw the light in his hand directly without saying a word, but he was still a step too slow.
Wu Xiangwang heard someone behind him? A strange? chuckle, and then he was bitten hard on the neck.
"Don't worry, how could I hurt our little baby?"
Wu Xiangwang thought the voice sounded familiar, but before he could react and remember who it was, he felt the space around him shift. He was being led away from the west city gate and into a quiet, even dark, area where sunlight was invisible.
But the darkness could not stop his counterattack. The big-toothed ant's hundred times strength attacked directly behind him. The powerful attack made the person behind him let go of him slightly, enough for him to turn around and see the enemy's face clearly.
However, when he saw that face clearly, Wu Xiangwang gasped and felt a little numb.
It turned out to be a face exactly like Abyss's.
Then he was suddenly pushed against the wall by the owner of this smiling, elegant face, and then scarlet chains appeared out of nowhere and locked up Wu Xiangwang's whole body.
Abis sighed and stroked Wu Xiangwang's face. "I really like you very much. But sometimes you are too naughty, too stubborn, too independent. Even too cold and ruthless to me."
"So why don't you stop walking down that path that's doomed to failure and stay with me in this eternal darkness? That way I won't feel bored or lonely, and you'll gain strength and happiness~"
"We are identical and compatible. You should sink into the darkness with me."
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Wu Xiangwang felt the red chains tightening around him and roared madly in his heart.
Damn Lin Yuan, is this what you call "a little bit of evil thoughts"? !
A little bit of goddamn evil thoughts!!!
