Chapter 452 The Broken Wheel of Destiny
The exterior of the towering city wall was wrapped in black steel, blood was slowly flowing out from under the huge gate, and the bloody smell that had originally dissipated became thick again.
The monsters in the safe house were ready to fight. They stood behind Xu Zhiyan and his group, making the humans look very small. The collector on the opposite side was no less capable. Just as he said, a total of eight BOSS-level creatures corresponding to the monsters in the safe house appeared behind him.
The two sides confronted each other and the situation was extremely tense.
Without either master speaking, the monsters seemed to be quite obedient.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the scope of the level under his feet, stepped onto the ground made of black stone, and the game panel popped up, showing the information of the current level.
[Level Name: Utopia]
【Note: Are you ready to face death? 】
[Tip: If the attacking team chooses to leave one player behind, then when this player dies, a player will be randomly selected to return to this level.]
Xu Zhiyan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.
…What an arrogant remark.
Even the level names use the guild name.
It seems that the collector has absolute confidence in his own strength. The other party has taken all aspects into consideration and is determined to kill him.
Seeing this, Xu Yan's lips curled up.
"Of course, I personally have no interest in the fight between weak creatures." As he said this, he put his fist to his lips and laughed.
As he laughed, the huge door of level 4 slowly opened with a teeth-grinding sound.
Through the door, Xu Zhiyan saw the scene inside.
Unlike the darkness of the flesh and blood truth, the real scene of level 4 is extremely bright!
The golden ground stretched as far as the eye could see, and except for the ground, everything was a gentle, dazzling pure white.
The Collector walked slowly forward and stood in the center.
"You will probably like this burial place." The Xu family's obsession with money seems to be engraved in their bones.
Taking out the gold pocket watch, he seemed to want to check the time before speaking, but for some reason, a strange sense of disharmony came to his mind. After hesitating for a long time, the collector put the gold pocket watch back.
He looked at Xu Zhiyan.
"It's still early. Do you want to wait outside to see the monsters defeated before coming in?"
Before the young man, who had already entered the fourth level, could speak, the humanoid monster with a slightly immature face beside him spoke first.
"Brother Xu, leave this to us."
Qu Ji maintained his human form. Perhaps it was because he had just eaten a lot of power crystals, but his originally pale cheeks had a little more color, making him look more like a human.
The other monsters echoed.
"We'll get it fixed soon!"
"I'm going to pluck out the monster's hair... and eat it all!"
"Hehe...eat it all...hehe..."
"Brother Xu, you go first..."
Although some monsters are not very intelligent, they can still read the countdown above their heads. They are here to help, how can they be a hindrance?
Xu Zhiyan paused, then nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
If the Collector does not attack with the collection as the core, then there is not much point in bringing a huge monster.
“Boom—boom—”
"Bang!"
“Hehehehe…”
No one knew which monster rushed forward first. In just a breath, sixteen monsters quickly fought each other.
Strange cries, fighting sounds, roars...
There were no fancy skills or brainpower competitions. The powerful monsters punched their opponents hard and attacked them in the simplest way, causing even the ground to tremble slightly.
The four people who spent money to change their fate walked towards the huge gate.
The monsters seemed to have made an agreement and ignored them, all focusing on their opponents.
“Squeak—”
When the four figures disappeared, the door closed.
The real competition has not yet begun, but the live broadcast room is already in chaos.
[Does anyone know how rich the collector's family is? ]
[To be honest, when Xiao Baiwan blew up the glass building of the collection earlier, I thought the collector had nothing left. ]
[I thought the same thing after defeating Flesh and Blood Truth!!]
[I picked out eight dungeon BOSS-level monsters at random, although I think they may not be able to defeat the monsters in the safe house. ]
[It’s hard to say. They are dungeon bosses after all—grass! Regeneration! I’ll just say…]
The monsters that the main system fights by default are also part of the level, so a small screen is cut out for viewing.
As a result, just as Xu Zhiyan and others left, the audience discovered that these monsters also have the power of regeneration...
[Fuck, no way? That’s too shameless! ]
[Yes, isn’t this a joke? ]
[Damn it, so the collector is afraid of these monsters? ]
[I don't think he's that scared, but he doesn't seem to like monsters getting too close to him...]
[How pitiful...]
The audience was filled with righteous indignation and was condemning the collector for his lack of martial ethics, but after a short while, everyone fell silent.
"No, go eat your own! Don't steal mine!"
"I'll just try it and I won't eat too much!"
"Are you sick? The monsters you killed can also regenerate. Why are you eating mine..."
The monsters started to communicate noisily again.
Although they were unable to completely kill the enemy and escape from the battlefield, the safe house monsters that had the upper hand soon discovered a new way to fight - eating while fighting.
Compared to humans, monsters are more inclined to the survival of the fittest.
They like to eat anything with energy, including the corpses of other monsters, causing the scene to fall into a strange balance.
But on the other hand, Xu Zhiyan and others were not so relaxed.
When the outer gate of this level named Utopia was closed, a golden coffin appeared behind the Collector.
The coffin is three meters long and nearly two meters wide. There are complicated spells carved on the coffin lid, which is obviously not suitable for humans.
Xu Yan stood in front of the coffin with a cold smile.
"In fact, even my other companions have never seen me in my perfect state." He explained in a deep voice, staring at Xu Zhiyan without blinking.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and sneered, "They always think that Wang Ying is the strongest besides the boss."
Xu Zhiyan didn't answer.
Judging from the information he had obtained previously, this was the case. Both Cen Jinyue and Gan Mi acknowledged that the Ghost Lion was stronger than the Collector in combat power.
Everyone subconsciously thought that since the Collector was named after the characteristic collection, the strongest attack must be to use the collection...
"so what?"
Xu Zhiyan retracted his thoughts and said in a cold voice: "Are you going to fight or not?"
Xu Yan, who originally wanted to say something else, was stunned for a moment and stopped smiling.
"Actually, I liked you very much before today, but I don't understand why you became like this after growing up... Maybe only if I make you into a collection, you will behave better."
His tone became increasingly cold, and at the end, his brows furrowed.
Perhaps it was because he had used the Xu family's bloodline body for too long, or maybe it was because Xu Zhiyan's attitude towards him was really different from that of others. Xu Yan was always in a bad mood after being criticized, but he couldn't help wanting to say a few more words to the other party.
Seeing the four men on high alert, the lid of the golden coffin erected behind the collector opened with a bang.
The next second, everyone present froze in place.
A terrifying pressure emanated from the golden coffin, and even the people standing at the door could feel it.
Inside was a headless corpse.
However, the appearance of this corpse makes it hard to tell what kind of creature it should be classified as...
Even without the head, the corpse was still more than two meters tall. Its pale upper body was naked, and its lower body was only covered with a pair of white trousers. The smooth muscle lines on its arms seemed to contain infinite power.
What’s even more confusing is that it has more than just two arms!
In addition to the two normal hands, eight hands grew from the back of the corpse, each with a different appearance.
Some arms have skin that looks like rock, with tiny cracks, and the cracks contain magma that seems to be about to burst out; some arms are covered with scales, and the nails are so sharp that they seem to be able to tear everything apart...
Before Xu Zhiyan could come to his senses, an even more horrifying scene appeared.
The collector standing next to the golden coffin suddenly raised his neck, put his hands across his neck, and then, with force, he pulled his head out of his neck!
The moment the head was pulled out, the body moved.
It took the collector's smiling head in both hands and slowly placed it on its neck, fitting it perfectly.
At this moment, a beam of energy light wave came from afar!
"Bang!"
A huge pale light caused an explosion.
This unexpected change startled Jiang Huaique and the others. Xu Zhiyan noticed the confused expressions of his teammates and scratched his head, saying, "What are you surprised about? If you don't do it now, when will you do it..."
If that strange corpse was the Collector's ultimate form, then the head-replacement process was probably when he was most vulnerable.
Xu Zhiyan gave Shiva a look as a matter of course, asking the other party to attack directly.
However, even though he did not think that this attack would cause any serious injuries, when the smoke and dust cleared, he could not help but frown when he saw the collector standing in front of the golden coffin.
The Collector, with his new body, stood there unharmed.
However, his old body, which was originally dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes, was blown to pieces in this round of attack. Among the broken pieces of body, there were still the remains of the cane and a pocket watch.
“Tsk, you were so focused on preventing those big monsters from coming in that you forgot about the weapon next to you.” The man’s deep and elegant voice spread slowly, and the next moment, his figure rushed over quickly.
Xu Zhiyan suddenly took a step back, and Jiang Huaique stepped forward and stood in front of his teammates, worried that the other side would attack.
But the collector's new body is coming too fast!
In a flash he crossed a distance of more than a hundred meters and appeared near the gate.
“Ka——”
A faint sound was heard.
Xu Zhiyan's heart tightened and he quickly turned to look at Shiva's position.
Instead of attacking the four of them, the Collector appeared right above Shiva. He suddenly fell down, and his two hands turned into sharp claws covered with scales. He pressed hard on the body of the war machine, and forcibly grabbed the edge of the opponent's central gun barrel and tore it apart!
The huge destructive power combined with agile movements left Shiva, who was not good at close range combat, with no power to fight back.
“Shua——”
"Bang!"
…
Turning around again, Yu Xiu's barrier and Jiang Huaique's blade fell at the same time.
But it was too late. Even if Xu Zhiyan took back the Shiva immediately, the collector had already got it and retreated to the side holding a piece of metal fragment.
"Isn't this thing expensive?" Xu Yan said in a relaxed tone. He threw the fragments of Shiva aside with a bang, stared at the teardrop mole on the side of Xu Zhiyan's eye, and said jokingly: "Will you cry over money like you did when you were a child?"
