Chapter 49



Chapter 49

There was only blue left in Jiang Yu's vision.

The extremely bright blue flame spread outward without any warning, instantly blocking the hair bugs that were flying towards her. Those bugs that didn't have time to stop were all turned into ashes the moment they touched the flame.

Apart from the pure blue, Jiang Yu could not notice anything else. Even the monster's screams seemed to be lowered in pitch, as if he was instantly wrapped in another world.

Moreover, although it was a flame that could annihilate the monster, the layer close to her did not have any heat at all. Instead, it was a little cool, which quickly calmed down her frightened brain.

Jiang Yu immediately took two steps back and kept some distance to prevent the monster from causing any more trouble.

But after doing so, she realized that she was worrying too much.

The monster didn't seem to expect that the black-haired boy had this trick. It didn't have time to react at all, and its body couldn't withstand the burning at all.

The countless mouths in its eyes howled sharply together, but could not resist the invasion of the blue flames. The bright and captivating blue like a rainstorm and thunder penetrated into it from these places, flashed quickly under its skin, and exuded a compelling blue color from its body.

In just a few breaths, it completely turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

……it's over?

Jiang Yu couldn't help but wanted to go forward to check again, but suddenly something hooked her collar, stopping her movement.

“Don’t get too close to there.” The dark-haired boy’s calm voice came from behind him: “The air over there might be very hot.”

Jiang Yu then came to his senses and noticed this.

She stopped, turned around, looked at the back of her collar, and found a fish hook hanging on it.

Jiang Yu: “…”

The black-haired boy, who sounded very reliable, was holding a fishing rod connected to a fishhook in his hand. When he saw her looking over silently, he smiled very innocently, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

…Can’t you be reliable for more than three seconds? !

The filter for S-level hunters that I just wanted to raise was suddenly shattered to the ground, and it even made me feel a little itchy.

Jiang Yu sighed deeply and chose to ask a practical question: "I can understand why this woman came after you. After all, S-level hunters have many enemies. This is normal. But why did she suddenly turn into a monster?"

She frowned, remembering the disgusting look of Ina after she turned into a demon: "...This doesn't look like a supernatural power."

While listening to her, Su Xingyuan put away his fishing rod and looked at the task interface.

The one thousand gold coins for completing the mission have been credited to his account, and the remaining clue to the follow-up mission has also appeared in his sight.

[The next mission clue: Hope Cemetery]

It was the name of a place and did not answer the questions Jiang Yu asked.

But isn’t the name of this cemetery a bit too hopeful?

Su Xingyuan closed the pop-up window and replied, "I have seen demonized creatures a few times before, but I don't know how she became demonized."

Jiang Yu was shocked by his description: "...How many times?"

You have encountered all the demonized creatures in the world, right?

She couldn't help but feel a little admiration. It turned out that becoming an S-level hunter was not that easy.

Is this the value of a top hunter?

Su Xingyuan said: "There should be quite a few demonized creatures. It's just that in the central city, they were probably cleared out quickly, so they don't appear very often."

Jiang Yu suddenly realized: "If it was cleaned up... was it done by the Hunter Association?"

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Well...it seems like they have indeed been working. I will add them to the guilds I will consider joining in the future."

Su Xingyuan was making the final blow to the boss in the dungeon. When he heard Jiang Yu's words, he said without turning his head, "Actually, you don't have to add it."

Jiang Yu immediately asked vigilantly: "What's wrong? Is there something shady going on inside the Hunter Association?"

The black-haired boy once again collected the body of the Guardian Knight Commander, then turned around and said righteously: "No, it's the overtime that's more serious."

Jiang Yu: “…”

It actually makes damn sense and can indeed be one of the reasons to dissuade people from buying something.

However, at this time, her affirmation was based on the fact that she didn't quite understand why the Hunter Association always had to work overtime.

In fact, the Hunter Association doesn’t have a lot of work to do normally, but since Su Xingyuan arrived, their workload has obviously increased a lot.

Su Xingyuan smiled and said, "Why not give it a try and form a guild of your own?"

Jiang Yu paused.

She saw that the black-haired boy's expression remained the same and he spoke very casually, but the content of his words made people feel a slowly spreading coldness.

"Or we can snatch what we need from Jiang Lie outside. If that doesn't work..."

The black-haired boy curved his eyes and said lightly, "You can also kill him for fun."

The portal opened behind him, appearing in the right place, as if it was specially designed to see him off.

The black-haired boy felt the portal appear and without wasting any more time, he turned around and walked out.

At this time, only ten minutes had passed outside the portal. When the Hunter Association supervisor who was guarding here saw that they had come out safely, he knew that the portal had been successfully captured. He took out the form and asked:

"This is the first time Miss Jiang has led a team to attack a D-level portal. We will register you. Do you belong to a guild?"

Jiang Yu paused for a moment and said, "Yes. Muyu Guild."

The supervisor didn't find this guild in his own knowledge, but he still registered her, and reminded her: "The guild must have at least three members before it can be officially registered with the Hunter Association."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you, big brother."

When she turned around and saw Jiang Lie still there, the smile on her face turned into pure disgust.

"Why are you still here? Do you like being scolded?"

Jiang Lie's face turned pale, and he didn't even look at her. He walked straight towards Su Xingyuan: "I..."

"Stop." The black-haired boy said with a smile, "I don't want to break your legs."

Jiang Lie: “…”

He didn't dare to gamble on the possibility that the black-haired hunter in front of him would take action in front of the supervisor of the Hunter Association. After all, the other party had a precedent of killing hunters belonging to the Hunter Association.

Thinking of this, he could only stand there stiffly and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

He had barely opened his mouth when he saw from the corner of his eye that the black-haired hunter had walked past him.

She didn't stop at all, nor did she pay any attention to his words. She just responded to him simply because she didn't want him to get close to her.

If he hadn't taken those few steps forward, the other party would not have reacted at all.

For someone like Jiang Lie who has been the center of attention since childhood, being completely ignored is sometimes more humiliating than being insulted.

However, the most humiliating thing was that the person who ignored him was the fourth S-rank hunter in the country.

He didn't even dare to imagine that one day he would be able to trample such a person under his feet.

The S-level hunter left, but Jiang Yu didn't leave yet.

She came to Jiang Lie and whispered, "Guess what happened back then, have I found any evidence? Young Master Jiang Lie, let's wait and see."

It is indeed much more convenient to have a mobile phone. Su Xingyuan opened the map software and typed in "Hope Cemetery".

The results include "Hope" and "Cemetery", but there is no such name as "Hope Cemetery". Perhaps people who run cemeteries know that this combination looks a bit crazy.

Perhaps, this "Hope Cemetery" is actually another name for some place?

If this was an ordinary stand-alone reasoning game, Su Xingyuan would have already started deciphering the puzzle by now, but this is a holographic game with a high degree of freedom, so Su Xingyuan directly called Fang Mujian.

Anyway, just ask first, and if the NPC really doesn't know the answer, then try to crack it yourself.

The phone rang twice, and was picked up when the third ring was almost over.

"Su Xingyuan?" Fang Mujian's weak voice came from the other side: "Helium..."

Su Xingyuan: "Don't treat me so badly, I'll be sad."

Fang Mujian: “…”

You're not sad at all.

In these decades, he has never seen anyone happier than Su Xingyuan.

Su Xingyuan: "Let's talk business. Have you heard of the name Hope Cemetery?"

Hearing the word "business", Fang Mujian instantly entered the working state. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Hope Cemetery... some people do like to call it the 'Disaster Day Martyrs Memorial Cemetery'."

His professional sensitivity made him immediately ask with caution: "What happened? You shouldn't ask this for no reason."

Su Xingyuan: “Nothing.”

He hung up the phone and opened the map.

In almost every city, there are places dedicated to commemorate the heroes who stood up on the disaster day.

But when the disaster day came, the largest portal in the country was opened in City C. At the same time, City C also had the highest number of casualties.

Su Xingyuan decided to go and take a look now.

If you don't complete the series of tasks, it would be like passing a level but not clearing all the monsters. It would be very frustrating.

City C is right next to City A, and he hasn't explored City A much yet. Su Xingyuan decided to take this opportunity to increase his exploration of the city.

While running towards City C, he opened the system map.

City A is not small in size, with nearly a hundred guilds of all sizes stationed here. The top 20 guilds on the list are almost all located in the center of the city, gathering wealth and power. At the same time, this is also the place with the highest density of hunters.

This also means that when ordinary people go out, they may have bad luck and suddenly encounter a portal.

However, because people are used to all of this, as long as the portal is not unconquerable and on the verge of collapse, ordinary people will not have too much psychological fluctuations when they encounter a portal.

At the same time, foreign hunters are often seen here, and international hunter exchanges or fighting competitions are also held.

Su Xingyuan just ran all the way there. Since he didn't feel tired, he could maintain his peak speed. He arrived in City C earlier than expected.

This area of ​​cities is actually pretty much the same. City C gives people the first impression of being an international metropolis. The only thing that is inferior to City A is probably the density of hunters and the overall strength of the guilds.

Su Xingyuan went straight to the largest Disaster Day Martyrs Memorial Cemetery in City C.

The sun had not yet set and there were still students visiting the memorial cemetery. Su Xingyuan took a look around, but apart from receiving some curious glances from a few ordinary NPCs, he didn't find anything.

So he found a park nearby and stayed there.

There was a junior high school student NPC sitting on a park bench. When he saw him coming alone, he made room for him. Finally, he stood up and quickly left the spot with his schoolbag in his arms.

Su Xingyuan: “?”

This is not right. Where is his excellent popularity?

Su Xingyuan sat down puzzled, and when he opened his personal panel to check the attributes, he saw the bloodstain on the neck of the miniature player on the left side of the panel.

Su Xingyuan: “…”

It seems that pain blocking does not only have benefits. For example, now he will forget the injuries he has suffered.

However, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even wanted to scare a few more NPCs before dark.

Su Xingyuan continued to look at his panel.

[Gold: 17130]

The number of gold coins rounded up to 20,000, so today was a fruitful day.

Although knight monsters only drop gold coins and no other items, it is precisely because of this that the number of gold coins they drop will be large, and the higher the level of the knight monster, the more gold coins they drop.

Su Xingyuan decided that after completing this series of tasks, he would go to a few more dungeons with underground palace environments and buy the [Assimilated Fish Tail] in full as soon as possible.

The sun gradually set in the west and fell below the horizon, and the sky became completely dark.

Su Xingyuan took back the book he had opened in his hand, took off the Kuli medicine on the back of his neck and threw it into the trash can.

Now his physical strength is almost full, but his intelligence is still a little short.

It seems that collecting materials that can quickly supplement intelligence should be put on the agenda.

He walked towards the Disaster Day Martyrs Memorial Cemetery again.

Buried here are all the heroes who died in the disaster. For some, only partial bodies can be found, while for others, no bones are left, only cenotaphs of clothes and hats.

In the dead of night, there was no living person here, and the pale moonlight added a lot of coldness.

Su Xingyuan walked step by step deeper into the cemetery. Apart from the somewhat gloomy atmosphere, there didn't seem to be anything unusual here.

The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly and lit a small cluster of blue flames on his fingertips.

"...Or else," he said lightly, "just burn this whole place down."

At this moment, a magical slash that did not give people any chance to react suddenly came from a distance!

[You have received a fatal blow! 】

[You are dead!] 】

——Instantly broke the defense of the Dragon Tendon Headband and directly emptied the player’s health bar!

[File loading successful]

Su Xingyuan returned to the moment when he stepped into the cemetery.

The black-haired boy stood there, blinked slowly, and suddenly laughed without any warning.

Ever since the player often played against the rules and his strength far exceeded the combat power required for the current main line, he rarely experienced the joy of being killed instantly by monsters, and then constantly reloading the game and killing monsters until he killed the monster that could kill him instantly.

Su Xingyuan opened the death record which he had not looked at for a long time.

In the death replay, the deep purple magic slash came from underground at the three o'clock direction of him, suddenly slashing from low to high.

He turned off the death replay and stepped into the cemetery again. He was even able to control his speed to be exactly the same as the previous one, reaching the place where he died without a second's delay.

This time, at the moment when the magic power came over, his whole body suddenly leaned back, and at this moment, he formed a parallel state with the magic power with no difference in inclination angle!

At the same time, he used his backhand to push Ding Fengbo's hilt against the ground, giving himself the strength to stand up in an instant. Then he bent his knees and jumped up, falling straight to the place where the magic slash appeared in the death replay like a precise machine!

The emerald color in his pupils matched the knife in his hand, and in the night, a bright ray of knife light suddenly appeared!

"boom!!"

The magically-infused heavy blow instantly split the coffin under the tomb, and the aftermath swept across the surrounding grass and trees, making the entire cemetery emit a sound like a strong wind passing through.

This entire set of movements was performed without any interruption and was so smooth that it was even frightening, as if it was a magnificent performance that had been rehearsed thousands of times.

But for players, it has become an instinct ingrained in their bones.

Su Xingyuan stood up, and in the split coffin, there lay the corpse of a half-demonized human.

Even though he had split the corpse in half, the strange magic power lingering on the corpse seemed to still have vitality, gathering and dispersing, and finally escaping in all directions and merging into the tombstones one after another.

The wind hasn't stopped yet.

The aftermath of the black-haired boy's previous attack seemed to be the prelude to the battle. The wind in the cemetery became stronger and stronger, carrying a thick and filthy demonic energy, and directly formed a very high wind wall outside the entire cemetery, sealing the cemetery and the black-haired boy inside!

The black-haired boy, who had stepped into the center of the trap that the enemy had already prepared, slowly forced a smile.

He turned the dagger that had cut through countless monsters' corpses and placed it in front of his eyes. Under the moonlight, the pair of rational yet cold cat-like eyes were reflected very clearly on the snow-white blade.

【Archived】

The next moment, he swung his knife to the right without hesitation!

“Clang!!”

At some point, under the cover of the wind, a huge monster appeared behind him, and its mouth with countless sharp teeth bit directly at his right arm that he used to attack!

The blade rubbed against the sharp teeth, almost producing a string of sparks.

However, at this moment, two more condensed magical slashes shot out from the petri dishes made of corpses below the cemetery!

——You must not be touched by the magic slash!

Almost at the moment when this thought popped up in his mind, Su Xingyuan's body began to move synchronously. Without hesitation, he grabbed the monster's body with one hand as a leverage point, and his whole body instantly flew into the air, narrowly avoiding the magic slash that could have been fatal.

Without Su Xingyuan acting as a shield in front, two magical slashes coming from different directions directly cut the monster into four pieces.

The black-haired boy fell to the ground, and the strong wind blew up his long hair behind him. He narrowed his eyes and smiled sincerely as he said, "Is your aim not so good?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two more magical powers slashed towards him!

Su Xingyuan already had some experience at this time. The moment he discovered the unusual movement, a wind magic stone tablet that he hadn't taken out for a long time appeared in his hand.

Just like the cushion he used to prepare for jumping off a tall building in J City, the strong downward wind instantly provided him with an upward acceleration, allowing him to take off directly without any startup time, and once again avoiding two attacks coming from different directions!

[Congratulations on achieving [Perfect Dodge]! 】

[Within ten seconds, your agility will increase by 20%! 】

The black-haired boy sighed softly: "I was just saying it casually, why are you still angry?"

However, this time, the one who does not give the enemy time to react has become the player!

The coordinates of the sources of the four magic slashes were engraved in his mind the moment they appeared. In the ten seconds when his agility increased by 20% and his movement speed suddenly increased, these four fixed turrets that could produce magic slashes were destroyed by him almost without any interval!

【Archived】

"It has come to this. If you don't show up..."

The curve of the black-haired boy's lips slowly widened, but there was no smile in his green eyes, which made him look extremely divided and crazy.

"——I will send all your assets to hell with you."

After the words fell, there was a brief silence, and then rustling sounds suddenly began to be heard, and monsters one after another crawled out from the ground.

"You actually found this place. You are indeed their so-called savior..."

A man with half of his face transformed into a demon slowly appeared from a distance. He stared at Su Xingyuan intently, his voice cold and filled with murderous intent: "If it weren't for you, in another seven days, my assets would have fully matured and broken out of the ground... I should have sent a few more people to kill you before you grew up!"

Su Xingyuan: "Excuse me, you didn't find me at all, did you?"

He lowered his eyes slightly, revealing a very tolerant expression, and continued:

"Also, I understand that you can't wait to find someone to show off yourself to, but sorry, I'm in a hurry."

After saying this, he glanced at the non-existent watch on his wrist.

man:"……"

The man was so angry that his expression was twisted. He sneered and said, "Okay, okay, today I will show you, an ungrateful fellow, what absolute power is!"

"Demon snake, bite him to pieces!"

As soon as the words fell, the ground suddenly shook, and the monsters standing in place seemed to be completely controlled and rushed in one direction, as if on a pilgrimage.

In just a flash, their bodies were dismembered as if they were torn apart by something, and then merged again, finally forming a huge purple two-headed snake.

Su Xingyuan didn't have any ideas about snakes, because any player who had fought a dragon would subconsciously think that no matter how powerful a snake was, it was no more powerful than this.

Until he saw the health bar above the enemy's head.

[Name: Demonic Snake]

[HP: 5000/5000]

Su Xingyuan: “…”

He suddenly realized that those A-rank and S-rank hunters in front of him were what Yugi wanted him to do with them.

Unfortunately, the player has always been stubborn and rushes forward with a knife, without considering any external help.

And now...

Su Xingyuan glanced at his HP which was barely in the three digits.

Su Xingyuan: "Excuse me."

In other words, is it too late to leave now and call for help? : D
