All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 454: Burying the Corpse Slowly
Time passed quickly and it was dawn.

At this moment, the fire and chaos in Tianyuan City last night have long subsided. Only some blocks that are being busy repaired by a large number of civilian craftsmen prove how fierce the battle was at that time.

Suddenly, a figure speeding towards them appeared in the pale sky.

When they got closer, they could see that it was an extraordinary young man riding a chestnut-red Pegasus. It was none other than Wang Zhifan, who had returned from the surrounding area riding a red deer horse.

"It was just dawn today and I had already used up all my teleportation quota for the day... It seems I must arrange some clones to disperse as much as possible to shorten the travel time in an emergency."

Wang Zhifan rode his red deer horse into Tianyuan City and landed at the gate of Wuzun Palace, thinking to himself.

He fought very hard last night and the process was smooth. In addition to killing five Demon Lords together with Mo Tathagata in Hezhou, he was later teleported to Huangzhou, which was relatively close to Tianyuan City, and killed two Demon Lords, earning a lot of merit points.

Wang Zhifan jumped off his horse and summoned the Demon Sealed List. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw his eldest disciple He Kuang walking out of the hall with an expression as if something had happened.

"He Kuang, judging from your appearance, you didn't sleep all night last night? Did something happen in the city last night?"

Wang Zhifan saw that He Kuang was not very energetic, and remembering the scene in the city he had just observed from the sky, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Master, I did not sleep all night because there were demons causing chaos in the early morning, causing a lot of damage in the city. I am worried that they will hide somewhere and attack the Martial Honored Palace..."

He Kuang immediately began to tell Wang Zhifan what happened last night. Wang Zhifan frowned as he listened, and he roughly understood what happened.

"Well... He Kuang, you did the right thing. Those guys are very dangerous. It's definitely right to be careful... But now that I'm back, you can rest assured and have a rest."

After a few words, Wang Zhifan arranged for He Kuang to go to the side hall to sleep and recuperate, and then he prepared to find someone to find out the details of what happened last night.

But before that, he first studied the Demon Sealing List and asked someone to get some fine fodder for the Red Deer Horse.

"My current merit points are close to 1,700, and I'm ranked 12th on the Demon Sealing Ranking. I've climbed nearly 20 places overnight. This speed of advancement is almost out of control...

But it’s not bad, with the Demon Tathagata and the other scroll kings at the front, not many people will notice me.”

After checking the Demon Sealing List, Wang Zhifan noticed that his ranking had risen again, which showed that his hard work all night was worth it.

However, the gap in merit points between him and the top of the list is still huge, because the number one Demon Tathagata now has more than 4,100 points, more than twice his merit points.

After looking at the enemy distribution on the Demon Sealing List map again, Wang Zhifan quickly found several suitable targets.

But unfortunately, they were all very far away from Tianyuan City, and as the transmission had been used up, he couldn't get there in time.

"Forget it. I won't have to work so hard during the day. It won't be good if I run too far and get robbed by the demons."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan put aside his desire to fight.

He put away the Demon Sealing List, and after making sure that the Red Deer Horse, which had already started eating grass, was satisfied with the food, he flew to the Qingyang Palace, which was not far from the Wuzun Palace and just a few streets to the west.

The reason for going to Qingyang Palace instead of Zhenxu Palace or Huayang Palace is not that they are closer.

The most crucial reason is that Qingyangzi is now the person in charge of security in Tianyuan City, and the other two Taoists are still recovering from their injuries and generally will not come out to take charge.

Sure enough, when Wang Zhifan arrived at Qingyang Palace, he found that Qingyangzi had sensed his presence and walked out from the inner hall.

This middle-aged Taoist priest, who gave people a sense of moderation, predicted Wang Zhifan's purpose and led him directly to the basement of Qingyang Palace to see with his own eyes the things that were preserved last night.

"These gold and iron artifacts were left behind by the demon gang. I can't tell what they are used for, but the three friends of Fellow Daoist Wu Zun seem to be more familiar with them..."

Qingyangzi first showed Wang Zhifan some key items that his disciples had collected last night. They were mainly technological artifacts, such as rocket fragments and burnt-out laser launchers, which were left behind by the players from the alien world during the battle.

"There are two more bodies that are suspected to be the bodies of the rebellious demons. There should have been three bodies, but one of them was eaten by your subordinates, Fellow Daoist Wu Zun. I heard that only a few broken bones were left when it was vomited out, so I didn't collect it here..."

Qing Yangzi then showed Wang Zhifan the important corpses, including a tall and strong white corpse that was almost in perfect condition, and a pile of black corpses that had turned into charcoal.

Wang Zhifan was surprised at what happened last night and wondered why these players suddenly died?

After some inquiries, he quickly learned the details from Qingyangzi. Combined with He Kuang's narration not long ago, he understood the cause of the matter as a whole and couldn't help feeling very speechless.

"Good fellow... Two of the three players were beaten to death by Qing Yangzi and his men, and only one seemed to have died at the hands of a player from another world...

It turns out that the NPCs in this instance are more dangerous than the enemies, and the value of my SVIP status has been greatly increased..."

Wang Zhifan was not joking when he sighed in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that it was indeed the case.

Just imagine, if he didn't have the SVIP player status and didn't choose the Dao Realm dungeon, it would be much more difficult for him to get to his current position, or even impossible at all.

After all, there are many indigenous masters in this copy world, and they are divided into many different factions. It is extremely difficult for an outsider to get into the core layer.

Being strong is not enough. There will also be many identity issues that are difficult to resolve. If you are not careful, you may be treated as an evil entity and attacked.

But with the initial identity of a person in the Dao realm, everything is different.

Wang Zhifan would not have any trouble with his identity at the beginning. In fact, his identity was more noble than that of most natives, and he had a natural advantage in interpersonal communication.

Because the Dao Realm is one of the upper three realms, those born there are basically the core descendants of the Daoist sect, and they can basically move freely in the Daoist sect's sphere of influence. In addition, Wang Zhifan himself is strong enough, so he seems to be able to rise to the top like a fish in water.

“Fellow Daoist Wu Zun, in addition to the corpse that was swallowed, this charred corpse was also searched and taken away by two other subordinates in your palace. The two of them also asked me for this most intact corpse, but I refused them and asked them to wait for your decision.”

Qing Yangzi mentioned this aspect again at the end, letting Wang Zhifan know that his three fellow players had secretly made some small moves to loot the three players' bodies. If it weren't for Qing Yangzi's action, he might not have seen a single hair. "Fellow Daoist Qing Yang is thoughtful. These bodies were indeed my friends when they were alive. Please let me arrange the burial personally to express my condolences."

Walking forward and taking a closer look at the tall and strong white man's body, confirming the quality of the equipment on him, Wang Zhifan replied.

He found that the equipment on the white man was mostly rare, with only two excellent items, a coat called "Wanderer's Protective Clothing" and a tie called "Weber's Stubbornness" inside.

Both of these equipment have defensive attributes.

In terms of features, the Wanderer's Armor has a limited range random teleportation function, and Weber's Stubborn Tie has a rechargeable death-proof mechanism.

They are all quite practical equipment, but unfortunately they are not suitable for Wang Zhifan, and he doesn't think much of them.

As someone who possesses an epic Blank Wrap Belt, Wang Zhifan thinks that the random teleportation in a small area of ​​the Wanderer's Armor is of very low value, and is not as flexible and controllable as the spatial movement of his Blank Belt.

Not to mention the rechargeable death-proof mechanism of Weber's Stubborn Tie, which is a world of difference compared to his Legendary Perfectionist ability with similar functions.

Otherwise, why would this white man have died? It can be seen that being immune to death once in a short period of time is not safe at all, and those who are going to die will still die.

Of course, excellent-level equipment is by no means common stuff, and even if it is just for collection, Wang Zhifan will accept them all.

He would also take away the rare equipment from the white man. He couldn't let them follow their original owners into this dark world.

But this kind of looting of corpses was very common to Wang Zhifan in the past. But now he had to save his face. He couldn't start stripping the corpse's clothes in front of Qing Yangzi, otherwise it would affect his reputation as a great martial arts master.

That's why he proposed to bury the bodies himself and let Qingyangzi leave the trouble to him.

Qing Yangzi naturally would not object after hearing this. In fact, not long ago, Qing Yangzi habitually checked the Demon Sealing List and found that the Wu Zun in front of him was almost in the top ten of the list. Since he had such a master in his family, he must take good care of him and it was impossible for him to have a conflict over such a trivial matter.

So, when Wang Zhifan left Qingyang Palace, he used the space ring to take away the bodies of the two unlucky players and the weapons left by the players from other worlds.

Then he personally flew out of the city and found a place to bury the body underground. At the same time, before burying the white player, he made some necessary equipment reductions for him to prevent him from being too burdened on the way to ascend to heaven.

As for the weapons left behind by the players from other worlds, he figured out their attributes and destroyed them, burying the residue in the ground.

The main reason is that these things are basically not intact, and their quality is rare at best. They are all technological gadgets and lack special value.

For him who owns a city planet, there is no need to collect them. He can order more advanced equipment of the same type by just going to the city planet, and he can get almost as much as he wants.

To put it more bluntly, he already has a lot of laser weapons stored in the black tower, so he has no need for technological equipment.

"It seems that most of these alien players are pursuing a technological development path, but their average strength is not very strong, and they are weaker than the players here...

Except for the metal ring that killed the white player, the rest can basically be resisted by the bio-force field for me...

But we cannot rule out the possibility that there are experts hiding among them, so we should be careful."

After dealing with the spoils that Qing Yangzi had secured for him, Wang Zhifan returned to the Wuzun Hall in Tianyuan City again.

He called the young man with sunglasses from the Xia country, the girl from the island country, and the strange white girl, and learned from them what happened last night.

Then he asked them to pay more attention to the players from other worlds in the future, be careful of these enemies' sneak attacks again, and help defend the Wuzun Hall when necessary.

On the contrary, he did not mention the distribution of the equipment found on the bodies of the three players, and allowed everyone to take what they had already obtained, so as to avoid any unpleasantness that would affect the atmosphere of unity that had just been established.

Now he values ​​these people more, and hopes they will help protect the base when he leaves Tianyuan City to fight the Demon Lord.

He doesn't care about some things like embezzlement of equipment, even if they may have obtained very good equipment.

Anyway, given his situation, good equipment will definitely be in his hands as long as he plays more games.

There is no need to worry too much about temporary gains and losses, and the main goal should be to successfully complete the copy.

So in the following days, Wang Zhifan repeated a similar daily routine.

He focused on attacking the forces of the demon world, and was not in Tianyuan City most of the time. He was either hunting lone demon lords alone somewhere in the disaster realm, or joining forces with masters on the list in some key cities to fight against the invading army of demon lords.

He was usually successful in his solo hunting, and few Demon Lords could match his overwhelming personal strength and various high-end equipment that were so gorgeous that they were indescribable. Only some powerful Demon Lords who knew his vicious reputation had been prepared and used various magical abilities in advance to escape his clutches.

Fighting against the Demon Lord's army will result in a 50-50 chance of winning or losing, because in a large-scale battle, the advantage of one person is unlikely to determine the overall situation. It is also impossible for Wang Zhifan to fight dozens or hundreds of Demon Lords alone. If the overall situation is lost, he will teleport and evacuate with his friends, just like when the losses are too great, the Demon Lords will use the teleportation nodes to escape collectively.

If we talk about these battles in detail, it will take more than a day or two to finish. In general, it can be understood that the forces of the Disaster Realm and the army of the Demon Realm are consuming each other. Neither side can defeat the other, and they can only rely on their own backers to continuously replenish new blood, pushing this war step by step to a climax.

The backstage of the Disaster Realm is naturally the Upper Three Realms. Almost every day, new super-innate masters from the Taoist Realm, Confucian Realm, and Buddhist Realm will come to the Disaster Realm to help.

The army of the demon world maintains the ability to transmit power to the disaster realm, and continuously summons new demon lords and demon armies from the demon world base camp, vowing to take over the entire disaster realm at all costs.

Wang Zhifan performed very brilliantly in this protracted war, but he was only one person after all. Facing the Demon Lords of the Demon Realm whose total number was suspected to have reached two thousand, he could only proceed slowly and do his best to make the Demon Realm continue to suffer losses.

This undoubtedly caused his merit points to accumulate more and more. After only two days, he broke into the top ten of the Demon Sealing List. After a few more days, he directly reached the top five on the list.

He has become a very famous master on the Demon Sealing List, and together with super kings such as Demon Tathagata, he has attracted the attention of the entire disaster realm and the demon world.
