Wu Xiangwang and his companions attracted many onlookers when they were distributing mushrooms in the East Gate Square of the city.
Although the adventurers had tried their best to keep their movements and sounds low, hoping to make as little noise as possible so as not to be seen and discovered by too many people, the city was full of weird humans, and these weird humans seemed to naturally have hostility and a kind of pursuit of the humans who had not yet become weird. So, within twenty minutes of Wu Xiangwang and his team sending mushrooms, they were surrounded by thousands of weird humans.
That feeling was really enough to make one's scalp tingle. These weird humans did not make any noise or do anything to harm human adventurers, but the way they stared at Wu Xiangwang and the others became increasingly cold and intense.
Even Wangwang Xiannan, who had excellent mental qualities, felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that. Although these people didn't say anything, he could see a kind of unwillingness and invisible questioning in their eyes.
Why did you come now?
Why can they have mushrooms like this and we don’t?
We are all human beings, why do you only help these compatriots? Aren’t we your compatriots?
They looked at each other quietly, but seemed to be speaking with their eyes.
Wu Xingyun and Qian Bao were the first to give up. "Brother Wangwang, why don't we give some mushrooms to these people? I can keep growing mushrooms with your energy balls."
He had as many mushrooms as he wanted. He really couldn't stand these people looking at him like that.
Wu Xiangwang did not stop them, but Wu Xingyun and Qian Bao's idea of giving the dejected mushroom to them did not go smoothly. Wu Xingyun found the weird human closest to him and handed the mushroom in his hand to him, but that person just looked at the mushroom in his hand and gave him a mocking smile.
He even raised his hand and knocked the mushroom to the ground, and stomped on it hard with his foot.
"What's the point of giving me a mushroom?! I've already become what I am now! If you have the guts, just turn me back into a human!"
This person held his neck and stretched his head towards Wu Xingyun and everyone else. "Look at my head! Look at my face! I've become this half-human, half-evil, half-evil. Can the mushrooms you gave me eliminate the strange energy in my body and turn me back into a human?!"
Wu Xingyun took several steps back after being yelled at, an expression of uncontrollable discomfort on his face.
Of course, he couldn't change these humans who had become weird back to normal. He even had to worry about developing weird characteristics himself.
He is not a god who can save everyone, and there is no god in this world that can save everyone.
"Haha, hahahaha! You can't do it, right? If you can't do it, then don't pretend! In the final analysis, you're too late! You're too late! If you have such ability, why didn't you come to this city earlier?! Then I and those messed up guys behind me wouldn't be in this situation now!"
"So, you're all hypocrites! You're all fake! You're the despicable ones who step on us to get ahead!! We're all like this, why are you still alive?!"
"Yeah, why are you still alive? You should be transformed into this weird appearance like us and wait to die in this city! Wait to die!!!"
When he finished speaking, his head suddenly swelled again, and his limbs, which had not yet shown any signs of becoming weird, began to rapidly grow brown spikes.
His degree of weirdness actually deepened in this short period of time, and as he rioted and mutated, the eyes of the thousands of semi-weird humans surrounding Wu Xiangwang and his group also began to change.
A chaos of human slaughter was about to break out. Wu Xiangwang suddenly grabbed the mushroom from Wu Xingyun's hand and stuffed it into the mouth of the weird human who was going crazy without saying a word.
!!!
The strange human leading the group suddenly became quiet.
Then he quietly looked at the group in front of him, then back at the group behind him. Finally, he slapped himself in the face, waved his hand, and sighed, "Why am I bothering? Haha, we're all going to die anyway. Why bother fussing about so much when we're all going to die? Make way. I want to be a quiet mushroom until the end of the world."
The weird humans behind him who were influenced by him: "???"
No, you were so excited just now!
We are all ready to cooperate with your performance, why are you suddenly depressed?
Ah...but it doesn't seem to be anything serious.
After all, everyone is going to die.
Yeah, since we're all going to die, why bother worrying so much? Forget it, let's just go squat in the corner together.
Then the restless heart calmed down again.
The adventurers all gasped in unison.
To be honest, they were almost scared to death just now.
It feels like being surrounded by zombies.
Afterwards, the adventurers picked up the mushrooms and rushed back as quickly as possible, holding the mushrooms as if they were holding their own lives.
Wu Xiangwang and the others were also preparing to return to the house quickly at this time. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening and it was completely dark.
However, when they turned around and left collectively, Wu Xiangwang suddenly stopped.
He suddenly turned his head back and looked at the tallest castle building in the entire city.
That should be the city lord's mansion.
And he felt the sharp gaze coming from there.
Then, Wu Xiangwang saw an eagle with pitch-black feathers flying out from the City Lord’s Mansion?
The eagle circled in the air and rushed towards him, screaming, holding a black and white invitation letter in its talons.
Wu Xiangwang raised his hand and caught the falling invitation.
He found that the moment he raised his hand, the black eagle seemed to want to swoop down to attack him, and it also looked like it wanted to land on his shoulder.
But it finally flapped its wings and flew away.
Its red and black eyes left a deep impression on Wu Xiangwang.
That really looks a bit like Abyss's eyes.
Wu Xiangwang's heart moved slightly, as if he had grasped something, but it quickly slipped away from his fingertips.
Under the gaze of his friends, he opened the invitation letter and read the words inside.
To the brave warriors of humanity:
I sense your extraordinary power and strength, and I hope you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to talk with me. This city has accumulated too much negative energy, and too many of our fellow human beings have been affected.
I have no power to solve this problem, but I see hope in you.
Please come. I will be waiting for you with a sincere heart.
—An exiled human being.]
"Hiss, our Wangwang dad is still the most impressive. From being hunted by the city lord to being personally invited by him, Wangwang, you are the strongest!!"
"But I feel something is a little weird about this invitation, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is."
Wang Xiao pushed up his glasses and said, "I think his wording is no longer in line with the conversation habits of ordinary people.
Perhaps he has become so weird now that it has affected his thinking and language.
If this is the case, I don’t think you should go alone tomorrow.”
"That's right, let's all go together! Although the city lord didn't invite us, we can hide in Liusha's space! No matter what, we are teammates, and we can't let you carry it alone anymore!"
"That's right! I just did a fortune telling, and it turns out that if you go alone, the outcome will be disastrous! Even if we join in, the outcome will still be disastrous, but it's better to go together than alone."
Wu Xiangwang: "...You mean to say that dying together is better than me dying alone, right?"
Zhang San chuckled and snapped his sleeves.
However, Wu Xiangwang did not deny what his friends said.
He also felt that the city lord's invitation was probably not a good thing.
He looked at the invitation in his hand. The most obvious thing that made Shang Chong and Wang Xiao feel uncomfortable was the wording at the beginning and end.
"A brave man of mankind", "an exiled human being".
At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but if we really think from the perspective of human beings, we would not call our compatriots or ourselves like this.
This is like an invitation from a strange source.
When Wu Xiangwang and the others left, there were four strange humans and one... half-strange human standing on the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion.
He/they were all looking in the direction of the human gathering.
"Will he come tomorrow? They seem to have something that can absorb the dark energy."
"Of course they will come tomorrow." The city lord's voice was hoarse and a little harsh, but it still had the sound of a human voice.
"Roar! Then let's surround and kill them right inside the castle tomorrow!! Kill that damn human! Together!!"
The chimpanzee pounded his chest.
"No." The city lord's voice sounded again: "No weird person can kill anyone in front of me."
"you!"
"However, as long as they are allowed to die on their own, it is permitted."
"My wheat is almost ripe."
“But there needs to be enough fertilizer.”
"Let them... along with the semi-finished products, become compost for my most energetic and pure wheat."
Strange expressions appeared on the four strange faces of the Royal Capital Hunting Team.
Finally, Yin Bo spoke uncertainly: "...under that wheat field, is it..."
The city lord slowly laughed, "Under that wheat field, planted are my most precious seeds."
The city lord smiled, and smiles appeared on the strange faces of several members of the Royal Capital Hunting Team.
But they suddenly stopped laughing halfway through, and the city lord who was so friendly to them attacked them without any warning.
"Get lost! I don't want any damn weirdness in my castle!"
