Chapter 114: Ghost Face Transformation Completed



Li Xiu and a few others sat inside the city gate to rest, while Ye Yuzhen sat beside them with a lot on his mind.

In this team, he felt like the bandit, seemingly completely useless, and he couldn't find what his advantages were.

"Have you looked at the map?" Li Xiu asked Ye Yuzhen, who looked a little confused.

"I have seen it." Ye Yu really didn't understand why Li Xiu asked this.

"Did you remember it?" Li Xiu asked again.

"I remember." Ye Yuzhen was memorizing very seriously just now, but Li Xiu didn't need his help at all, so he couldn't do anything.

"Since you have seen it and remembered it, what are you doing sitting here? If you want something, you have to fight for it yourself instead of waiting for others to give it to you?" Li Xiu said calmly.

Ye Yuzhen was stunned at first, then his brain started working quickly. He stood up and walked to the city gate. After carefully looking at the valley outside the city, he suddenly realized.

"I'll go right away." Ye Yuzhen said, and ran quickly out of the city.

"What's going on?" Chu Jun asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Li Xiu leaned against the city gate and looked in the direction Ye Yuzhen was going.

Ye Yuzhen’s memory is really good, he already understands what Li Xiu means.

According to the demon distribution map drawn by Chu Jun, there are several remote locations that Li Xiu has not been to, and there are mechanical skeletons hidden underground there.

After Li Xiu's reminder, Ye Yuzhen discovered that the mechanical skeletons that were not touched by Li Xiu were of four levels: E, D, C, and D.

There was no doubt that Li Xiu had left them for him deliberately, rather than forgetting their existence.

Ye Yuzhen took a deep breath and headed towards the location of the E-level mechanical skeleton. He wanted to try and see if he could use the Ring of Promise to subdue this mechanical skeleton.

Although he had worked very hard in the past, he was not willing to work hard for himself. He just wanted to get more resources for Ye Xiyuan.

But this time, he wanted to fight for himself.

Ye Yuzhen already knew the abilities and attack patterns of the mechanical skeleton. He thought about it carefully, took a deep breath, and after getting close to a certain distance, he reached out and picked up a stone and smashed it at the ground where the E-level mechanical skeleton was hidden.

The mechanical skeleton was disturbed and immediately crawled out from the ground.

Ye Yuzhen waited until its upper body just appeared, then kicked it directly, kicking the metal syringe in the mechanical skeleton's hand to the side.

Ye Yu’s skills are really good. After all, he became a trial-taker on his own with absolutely no knowledge. His brain and skills are quite good.

He just lacks a little bit of self-confidence and a desire to become stronger.

"Is he okay?" Chu Jun said worriedly as he looked at Ye Yuzhen fighting with the mechanical skeleton.

"It should be fine." Li Xiu said with a smile.

The three people rested while watching Ye Yuzhen fighting with the mechanical skeleton. After a while, Ye Yuzhen put one hand through the gap in the metal sternum and grabbed the green heart of the mechanical skeleton.

The next second, an astonishing scene happened. The mechanical skeleton seemed to be pulled and compressed by some force, and disappeared from Ye Yuzhen's hands in the blink of an eye.

"Success!" Ye Yuzhen looked at the Ring of Promise with a green gem on his finger, and felt happier than ever before.

With a thought, the green gem on the ring transformed into a mechanical skeleton and appeared in front of him.

Ye Yuzhen suppressed the excitement in his head and headed towards the location of the D-level mechanical skeleton.

He followed the previous method and wanted to kick away the metal syringe of the D-class mechanical skeleton first, but his foot was caught by the D-class mechanical skeleton as soon as he kicked it.

Fortunately, he was well prepared. The E-class mechanical skeleton controlled by him was right behind the D-class mechanical skeleton. It raised the metal syringe and stabbed it into the back of the D-class mechanical skeleton's head.

After a fight, with the help of the E-class mechanical skeleton, Ye Yuzhen finally grabbed the heart of the D-class mechanical skeleton again.

The D-class mechanical skeleton, like the E-class mechanical skeleton, was sucked onto its ring and turned into a green gem.

However, his ring can only hold one gem. When the D-class mechanical skeleton occupies the ring surface, the gem ring surface formed by the E-class mechanical skeleton is covered.

"Can you only control one demon spirit?" Li Xiu was slightly disappointed when he saw this scene. He thought Ye Yuzhen could reveal an army of demon spirits.

Ye Yuzhen collected the D-level mechanical skeleton, rested for a while, and then went to the location of the C-level mechanical skeleton.

But he failed this time. As soon as the upper body of the C-class mechanical skeleton came out, the metal syringe in its hand swept across, knocking Ye Yuzhen and the D-class mechanical skeleton behind him to the ground.

Ye Yuzhen wanted to get up, but saw that the C-class mechanical skeleton had already stabbed him with a metal syringe.

Bang!

With a single gunshot, a blue bullet blew away one of the C-class mechanical skeleton's arms along with the metal syringe.

Ye Yuzhen knew that it was the demigod Setsuna who saved him, so he quickly stood up and rushed towards the C-class mechanical skeleton, grabbing for its heart.

But this time, Ye Yuzhen was unable to subdue the C-class mechanical skeleton. Until the heart of the C-class mechanical skeleton was crushed, it did not fulfill its agreement with Ye Yuzhen.

Ye Yuzhen was not disappointed. Although he could not grow with the help of others, he already had a goal and a method to grow, which was enough.

Ye Yuzhen did not go to the location of the B-level mechanical skeleton, but returned to the city gate and said thank you to Li Xiu.

"You can only rely on yourself from now on." Li Xiu said to Ye Yuzhen, then stood up: "It's almost time to rest, it's time for us to work."

"Well done, you can do it." Chu Jun said to Ye Yuzhen when he walked to him, then caught up with Li Xiu and followed Li Xiu towards the building at the end of the valley.

Outside the building, Chu Jun walked back and forth for an unknown number of times.

"That's strange." Chu Jun stopped and lowered his head to think.

"Can't feel the evil spirit?" Li Xiu asked.

"No, I feel there is a demon inside, but something is wrong." Chu Jun paused, organized his words and continued: "How should I put it, I feel there is a demon inside, it seems to be able to sense my presence, wherever I go, it goes there."

"Is there any problem with this? You have inspiration skills, and the demon spirit may also have similar skills. It is normal that it can sense you." Li Xiu said.

"That's not a problem. The problem is that the level of the demon I sensed in different locations was different. Sometimes I sensed it was E-level, sometimes I sensed it was B-level or even A-level, and once, I even sensed it was S-level." Chu Jun said helplessly, "It seems that there is really something wrong with my skill."

"What if there's nothing wrong with your skills?" Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.

"How is that possible? How can a demon be S-level at one moment and E-level at another? How can there be such a demon? Do you mean that it can disguise its own level?" Chu Jun said.

"Is it possible that it has different levels in different locations?" Li Xiu looked at the long building and said, "Walk again and see if the levels are the same in different locations."

After being reminded by Li Xiu, Chu Jun quickly stood up and approached the building again, then walked back and forth several times.

"That's true. When I walk to different locations, I feel that its level changes differently. The changes are the same in every location." Chu Jun pondered and said, "I think there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that they are not the same demon spirit at all. When I am in a different location, I can only sense the demon spirit in that location, and not the demon spirits in other places. Another possibility is that the level of this demon spirit changes in different locations."

"Since you can sense the demon spirit inside, the first possibility is relatively low." Li Xiu glanced at the closed door of the building and said, "First, draw out the corresponding level of each position for me to see."

Chu Jun agreed and started drawing on the ground.

The building is about five or six hundred meters wide. Chu Jun divided this distance into fourteen areas. One of the areas was S-level when the demon spirit was there, three areas were A-level, four areas were B-level, three areas were C-level, two areas were D-level, and one area was E-level.

Li Xiu looked at the gate of the building against the picture drawn by Chu Jun, and then compared them.

"The area at the entrance is A-level, and the areas on both sides are B-level..." After careful comparison, Li Xiu found that the S-level area was on the far left, and the E-level area was on the far right.

"If there is only one demon spirit that can change levels, after entering, just walk to the right. When you reach the far right, it will be at its weakest." Li Xiu remembered something, looked up at Chu Jun and asked, "What is the name of this demon spirit?"

"The last fanatic." Chu Jun thought for a while and said.

"Interesting. We need to study this further. Let's go back first." Li Xiu took Chu Jun back.

Although there may be only one demon spirit inside, no one knows what grade it is. If it is of the Glorious level, or even if it is only of the Brilliant level, it will be difficult for Li Xiu to deal with it when it is of the B or A level.

If you want to get to the far right, you have to pass through several B-level and A-level areas, and you don’t know what the environment is like inside, so it’s too dangerous to go in.

After much deliberation, Li Xiu decided not to enter the building for the time being. It would not be too late to go after he became a real trial-taker.

The harvest this time was pretty good. Li Xiu got a growth-oriented talent, Chu Jun got an A-level skill, and Li Xiu gave some of the magic cores to A Fei and Ye Yuzhen.

Of course, this is distribution according to work, and it is impossible to distribute it equally.

When he was about to blow out the lights and leave, Li Xiu winked at A Fei, who nodded in understanding.

Before Li Xiu blew out the candle, she quietly used the skill of giving up.

The four of them returned to the gate of the Brave Trial Field. After separating from Chu Jun and Ye Yuzhen, Li Xiu looked at A Fei.

Ah Fei nodded slightly and said, "It can be used."

"Your skill is really amazing." Li Xiu sighed. At that time, he only got the Ice Heart talent and was not able to get the Forfeit skill, which was really a pity.

"Madam, what do you want me to do?" Inside the Red Sand City Lord's Mansion, a trial participant came up to the middle-aged woman who was the wife of the City Lord and bowed slightly.

"Mu Yu, I need you to go to Chongshan City to help me with something." The city lord's wife said with a cold face, biting her lip.

"Madam, you should know that I need to protect the city lord's safety and you cannot leave Hongsha City at will." Mu Yu said with a frown.

"Have you forgotten who brought you to Hongsha City, who gave you the opportunity to become a trial-taker, and who provided you with the resources to enable you to have the status you have today?" The city lord's wife stared at Mu Yu and spoke word by word.

"Madam, what do you want me to do?" Mu Yu sighed inwardly. He knew that this day would come sooner or later.

"My brother was killed by a magic costume master. He now occupies Chongshan City. I want you to go to Chongshan City and kill him to avenge my brother."

"You should ask the city lord to step in on this matter," Mu Yu said.

"If he is willing to come forward, do I still need to ask you to come over? Mu Yu, do you want me to kneel down and beg you? If you really want this, I will beg you." The city lord's wife stood up and was about to kneel down in front of Mu Yu.

Mu Yu quickly held the city lord's wife and said with a wry smile, "Madam, I can't bear this. You gave me the opportunity to be here today. I will get this done."

"I only have this one younger brother, and this is the only man in my family. If he dies, there will be no future for our family. I must avenge this grudge." The city lord's wife said with a miserable look.

"Ma'am, please rest assured. I will set off for Chongshan City now. No matter how strong that magic armor master is, as long as he does not wear the magic armor 24 hours a day, I will be able to kill him." Mu Yu said and turned to leave.

The city lord's wife watched Mu Yu leave, and the depression in her heart eased a little.

She knew Mu Yu's abilities. Although he was not a magic armor master and did not have the ability to fight a high-level magic armor master head-on, it was not necessary to fight with a magic armor master to kill him.

Killing a magic armor master without magic armor is what Mu Yu is best at.

Among all the trial-takers under the command of the Lord of Red Sand City, no one was better at assassination than Mu Yu.

"After spending so much money, you only managed to create this thing for me?" Li Xiu looked at the ghost-faced demon costume that Ximen Guan had modified for him and felt that he seemed to be indulging this old man too much.

The current appearance of the Ghost Mask Demon Costume can no longer be described by the word "ugly". It can be said that it has broken through the limits of human aesthetics.

No human being could create something so ugly.

The ghost-faced demon costume used to be so cool, with a black background and purple edges, it looked like a walking armored demon.

But now the Ghost Mask Demon costume looks like a pile of rusty broken iron sheets, and its shape has become incredibly ugly after Ximen Guan's drastic transformation.

How to describe it? This is a set of broken iron and rusty version of Armor Hero suit, the kind that a villain minion wears.

"Young man, you can't just judge things by their appearance. I admit that it doesn't look very good, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, our budget is limited." Ximen Guan said without blushing or panting.

"Limited funds? Old official, more than half of the income of the entire Chongshan City is now in your hands, and you tell me that there is insufficient funds?" Li Xiu's mouth twitched, and he had the urge to beat someone up.

"This broken-down place has nothing. If the equipment and materials left by the previous Lord of Chongshan City were not enough to be used, the little money you gave me would not even be enough to buy the materials. This is the result of my careful calculation and frugality..." Ximen Guantian cried poorly with an old face.

"Okay, tell me about its performance parameters." Li Xiu felt so tired that he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore.

"Parameters are only for reference and have no practical significance. A top-notch magic costumer like you will know how much effort I put into it after you put it on. I guarantee you will be satisfied." Ximen Guan chuckled.

"The old man is very evil. I guess he didn't even do any testing. He's using me as a guinea pig." Li Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He walked directly to the Ghost Mask Demon Suit and reached out to grab the starting device.

The next second, the Ghost-Faced Demon Suit turned into a box in Li Xiu's hand.

What surprised Li Xiu was that the original Ghost Mask Demon Suit was as big as a suitcase, and the semi-finished product before was as big as a backpack. Now, after shrinking, the Ghost Mask Demon Suit is only the size of a 17-inch laptop computer, which can fit into any larger briefcase.

"Old sir, you're great. This technology is great." Although we don't know the performance yet, this space-saving design is more than just making the parts compact. It must have used special technology and materials to achieve this level.

"Hehe, this is nothing to me. It's just a piece of cake. Try it on and try it out." The old official looked very proud and became more and more arrogant.

Li Xiu pretended not to see it, grabbed the starting device, and activated the Ghost Mask Demon Suit again.

The ghost-faced demon suit was directly attached to Li Xiu's chest. The outer shell seemed to come alive and spread over Li Xiu's body, quickly wrapping up Li Xiu's entire body without leaving a single gap.

"Although it looks a little ugly, its performance is quite good." Li Xiu has already seen the difference of this ghost-faced demon costume.

Ordinary magic costumes are divided into many parts, which are combined together after being worn. The Ghost Face Magic Costume also had the same structure.

The Ghost Mask Demon Suit is now almost a whole piece, unfolding directly on Li Xiu and wrapping his body. With fewer connection points, the defensiveness is definitely improved and the possibility of damage is also reduced.

"Don't praise me yet. It's not too late to praise me after you use it. I'm not satisfied with your praise now." Ximen Guan crossed his arms, looking like he deserved a beating.

Li Xiu activated the power system of the Ghost Mask Demon Suit, and the dark red shell, which looked like it was covered with rust, suddenly lit up with purple light streaks.

The part without light patterns turned from dark red to black under the contrast of purple light patterns. The whole magic costume was filled with a mysterious and strange aura, like a ghost walking out of the underworld.

Just by lighting up the magic light pattern, the originally ordinary ghost-faced demon costume seemed to have been completely transformed in an instant.

Especially the hellfire-like purple pattern on the black and red mask, which replaced the eye mask and the perspective glasses, making it look like the face of an evil spirit escaping from purgatory.
