Chapter 91
The people brought by Xu Banmeng began to clean up the battlefield quickly.
The concentration of pollution in the air was too high, even Xu Banmeng found it difficult to breathe standing here. If these bodies were not moved away, Xu Banmeng felt that he was going to kill someone.
She adjusted the operation of her magic and her eyes fell on the black-haired boy who walked to the side and counted something.
He seemed completely unaffected by the pollution. He took out a bag and began to check his new spoils one by one.
Xu Banmeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
That doesn't look like a magic crystal.
"Is this a magic core?"
She stepped forward and asked tentatively.
Only monsters have a chance to produce magic cores, and the frequency of monsters appearing is much lower than that in dungeons, so even Xu Banmeng has never seen many magic cores.
The black-haired boy nodded.
In order to prevent Su Xingyuan, who had an obsession with prey and enemies, from misunderstanding his meaning, Xu Banmeng only took a glance and then looked away.
Not to mention that the drop rate of this thing is low. Su Xingyuan just used a range skill, so he should not have had the chance to obtain the magic core, so the only one he got should be the one in Ennis' body.
It's just one, it can't do anything. Xu Banmeng has no interest in collecting magic cores, so he naturally doesn't care.
However, just as she was about to turn her head, she saw the black-haired boy holding up his bag upside down and shaking it down -
“Hua La La—”
Piles of magic cores instantly poured out from the small bag.
Xu Banmeng: “……?”
Wait, wasn’t it agreed that this kind of thing would be hard to drop?
Her subordinates had also encountered more than one monster, so why didn't they bring back a bag of magic cores for her to look at?
——The world is partial to the savior, but not that partial!
Su Xingyuan noticed Xu Banmeng's somewhat burning gaze, but he didn't care and instead took out the black dragon cub.
The cub had already finished eating the magic cores he had given it before, and its body had grown larger again. When it squatted beside Su Xingyuan's legs, it was almost the size of a large dog.
Su Xingyuan glanced at its panel, pushed all the magic cores to it, and said concisely:
"eat."
If this guy doesn't grow up and play a role for him, he will have to complete the main storyline by himself :).
The black dragon cub seemed to sense the coldness in its master's tone, and quickly opened its mouth and swallowed all the magic cores in front of it.
Su Xingyuan blinked.
He picked up the black dragon's head with a curious spirit and thought: "How can its mouth open like a basin when its head is so small?"
The black dragon cub chewed the crystal core and made a confused sound: "Hmm QAQ?"
Unfortunately, the huge amount of energy intake soon made it fall into a dormant state. Su Xingyuan took a look at it and thought that because it was just one step away from transformation, its drowsiness would not last long this time.
The black-haired boy directly called his only pet back home.
After doing these things, he raised his head and looked at the devastated city.
There is a magic barrier outside the city, probably to catch the enemy in a jar. I don't know what means were used to set it up. Su Xingyuan tried it, but couldn't open it with brute force.
Otherwise, Xu Banmeng would have flown away long ago. Why would he choose to do something as laborious, time-consuming and unprofitable as cleaning up the monster corpses?
Su Xingyuan greeted Xu Banmeng, then opened the small map and scanned the entire Paradise inch by inch.
Stadiums, schools, hospitals, garages...
An hour later, Su Xingyuan came back calmly.
Seeing that he had been gone for so long, Xu Banmeng asked cautiously, "Are there still enemies?"
Su Xingyuan explained sincerely: "No, I just stockpiled some supplies."
Yes, billions of supplies.
As a country within a country, the Paradise Kingdom had sufficient reserves of supplies. Su Xingyuan accepted them all without hesitation, even the garbage disposal station was not spared. Even the scavengers who came by cursed that a typhoon had passed through.
Although he may not need these supplies, who would hate the feeling of having a backpack full of supplies?
Moreover, he not only has a backpack now, he also has a huge [Home], which is large enough to classify and store the things he moved back - as for the classification, if he still needs to do it himself, what's the point of him keeping that pile of hellish rubbish?
Xu Banmeng looked at Su Xingyuan with an innocent face, and always felt that he had done something that ordinary people could not understand.
……never mind.
She glanced at the communicator and said, "The signal has been cut off. We still can't contact the outside world. In this situation, it would be most convenient if the Hunter Association could ask the hunter who opened the transmission channel to come to rescue us."
Su Xingyuan asked: "Do you think that this pot covering us... was really made by Ennis?"
Xu Banmeng paused slightly.
Su Xingyuan lowered his eyes, played with the short knife in his hand, and said calmly:
"Although Ennis seems determined, he is actually easily influenced. He thinks he has been using the Demon City, but in fact, it is the Demon City that has been using him."
The woman slowly closed her folding fan and said expressionlessly, "Every time you speak in this tone, I have a bad feeling, Suxingyuan Hunter."
The player chuckled and said, "Boss Xu, you can rest assured that I can do the job. Since I have accepted your commission, you will definitely not lose any blood during the mission."
He vowed: "I still have professional ethics."
Xu Banmeng recalled what he had done after accepting the commission, and his expression was a little hard to describe: "...You feel pretty good about yourself."
The player thought that the NPC was praising him. He came to the barrier and thought of what the people from the Demon City said when they came to find Bai Wei.
Just as he said, Ennis's heart was not firm, and his determination to take action was not deep, so when almost all the monsters rushed forward, he was the only one who retreated.
However, this barrier seemed to trap everyone indiscriminately - Su Xingyuan cut off a limb of Ennis and used a "strange mask" to imitate his magic power, but was unable to open the barrier.
A guy who is still hesitant and struggling until the end will not do something so drastic all at once.
Therefore, it was the Demon King's Castle that set up the barrier.
Looking back at this now, the generous promises made by that woman to Bai Wei seemed very reasonable - as a troublemaker, Bai Wei would be picked out in the subsequent liquidation even if he was lucky enough not to die in the monster riot after the incident broke out, and he would not even be given the opportunity to leave before the liquidation.
Of course, you can promise huge profits to someone who can't go back to Country C at all.
And if he returns alive, wouldn't that just prove his strength?
Then there is no doubt that he will take the position of second in command.
The Demon King's City is indeed well calculated.
Unfortunately, all this is based on the assumption that Bai Wei is an independent person. When Bai Wei is Su Xingyuan, all these arrangements lose their meaning.
Seeing that he couldn't leave here for a while, the player was not in a hurry. He still had a lot of things to deal with in his [home] and his body also needed to recover, so he simply went back to his [home] and lay down to take a nap.
After waking up, the status was completely refreshed. The player stretched and returned to reality from [Home] to check the situation.
When Xu Banmeng saw him, he didn't ask where he was going, but said, "My people are almost done building the signal tower of Tongtian Tower. We can contact the outside world in a little while."
Su Xingyuan raised his eyes and a tall tower came into view.
Su Xingyuan: "Building a tower on flat ground, the level of bugs in Tongtian Tower is not much less."
Xu Banmeng: "It's just that I have money."
The black-haired boy turned his head faintly, his green eyes seemed to reflect light slightly under his black hair, and he showed his white teeth: "Boss Xu, the commission has a time limit."
Thinking about the weird personality of Xu Banmeng on the other side: "..."
I was careless. I can show off my wealth in front of anyone but not in front of this guy!
Fortunately, the player didn’t care much about this little episode. He opened the system panel out of boredom and saw his friend interface that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The black-haired boy paused, clicked on [Friends], and checked the status of the only NPC in it.
…
Something seemed to be different from usual.
The pair of emerald green cat eyes gently stopped at a certain place, and in just a few seconds, all overly exposed emotions were restrained, revealing the deepest rationality and coldness belonging to the player.
"Ms. Xu Banmeng, the communication has been completed!"
Xu Banmeng's subordinates suddenly spoke loudly in surprise, but the next moment, the tone changed.
It was like a baby bird that had just spread its wings and flown high into the sky, but before it had time to be happy, it was suddenly hit by a bullet and fell heavily to the ground.
"...Received the request for help from the Hunter Association?"
Xu Banmeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
That bad intuition finally came to an end. She squeezed the bottom of the folding fan slightly and said calmly, "Explain clearly."
The subordinate's voice began to tremble: "J City was attacked, and the S-level portal collapsed instantly... Requesting S-level hunter Su Xingyuan for support!!"
The S-level portal...collapsed.
Even Xu Banmeng's brain went blank in an instant. The tragedy she had witnessed flashed through her mind. Once the S-level portal collapsed, the impact it caused could not be summarized by a light "S-level"!
That can definitely be called a natural disaster!
And the most important thing is... they are now trapped in Country S by an unsolvable barrier and can't even rush back to provide support!
Xu Banmeng took a deep breath and turned her head involuntarily to look at the black-haired boy standing not far away.
A gust of wind blew past, lifting up the high ponytail tied behind his head. Xu Banmeng couldn't see his expression clearly, but he felt in an instant that the aura around the black-haired boy had changed.
Even when she was dealing with the demonized Enis, she hadn't felt such an almost terrifying... indescribable change in him.
Su Xingyuan was looking down at the game panel.
——In the friend interface, a layer of bloodstains like splashed ink appeared on the avatar representing the NPC [Xin Yunxi].
He closed the panel and walked towards the barrier.
Knowing that J City was where he came from and the city where the "savior" first descended, Jiang Yu's eyebrows jumped, fearing that this incident would irritate Su Xingyuan and make him recklessly consume his magic power to remove the barrier, he hurriedly dissuaded him: "There must be a way to break the barrier, Hunter Su Xingyuan, please stay calm--"
The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly, blinked slowly, and said softly:
"I am calm."
The next second, a golden shovel appeared in his right hand, which looked like it shouldn't be in this situation.
The strange glowing shovel was out of place with the black-haired boy. In his hand, it looked like an illustration with a completely different style that was even more forced to blend in. When one saw it for the first time, it even made people feel a little inexplicably uncomfortable.
However, immediately afterwards, without any hesitation, he slammed the shovel into the indestructible barrier!
That hand was used to holding a blade. Even though it was holding a toy-like golden shovel at this moment, it was like holding a sharp knife. When it was swung, it suddenly brought up a golden light that was almost blinding, like the scorching sun breaking through heavy clouds and piercing into the heart of all obstacles!
The next moment——
“Crack.”
A crisp cracking sound was clearly heard from the part that was hit by the shovel as if in a joke.
Then, the crack that existed only at one point began to expand.
Crackling, crackling sounds continued, spider-web-like patterns spread out, reflected in the black-haired boy's emerald green eyes, but failed to arouse any emotions in him.
[Item name: [Glowing shovel]]
[Description: A top-level shovel that can effectively destroy everything in existence. It has no other special effects. It consumes 10% of your physical strength when used once.]
“——Crack.”
The cracks finally spread to their limit.
Almost at the same time as the sound was rang out, the barrier that completely covered the Paradise area shattered instantly, breaking into countless reflective glass-like fragments. It only stayed in the air for a second or two before starting to fall.
It was like... the prelude to a rainstorm.
