Chapter 118: Shadow Devourer
After being teleported back to the hotel room, Zhou Yuan quickly went into the bathroom to take a shower, using up most of a bottle of shower gel to cover up the pungent smell of sulfur on his body.

Then he opened the window and let the cold wind blow in. After two or three minutes, the sulfur smell in the room was basically gone. He sprayed some perfume a few times and even a dog's nose wouldn't be able to smell anything unusual.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Sure enough, it came!

Zhou Yuan chuckled, quickly closed the window, opened the door and saw that it was Chen Guangxi.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Zhou Yuan looked confused.

Chen Guangxi walked into the room, his nose twitched, and then he looked at Zhou Yuan, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, suspiciously: "Did you call a prostitute?"

"?" Zhou Yuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "Don't tarnish my innocence!"

"Then how do you explain this smell of women's perfume?"

"This is for you." Zhou Yuan took out a bottle of expensive perfume from his backpack, sprayed it twice, and said calmly, "This is my first time buying perfume, so I sprayed it a few times and smelled it. It smells pretty good. What do you think?"

Good explanation... Chen Guangxi stared at him for two seconds with a half-smile, then took the perfume: "Then I'll take it."

"What do you want from me?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"Ding Yi was rescued."

"Oh?" Zhou Yuan was surprised. "Who did it? Isn't it impossible to enter the abnormal movie?"

"I called in some outside help, it's Wang Zhen whom you met this afternoon. He has some amazing tools."

"Then he is quite powerful. He can handle anomalies that the Control Bureau cannot handle." Zhou Yuan sighed, "Heroes are so numerous in the world."

"..."

Chen Guangxi was speechless, and then said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. Jiang Wuming and the others are back from the sea. Come with me to pick them up."

"Going out to sea? Where did they go?" Zhou Yuan asked curiously.

Chen Guangxi shook his head: "They went out to carry out a confidential mission."

Zhou Yuan smacked his lips: "Okay."

·
In the car.

Zhou Yuan stared at the scenery outside the window in a trance, but in fact his attention was on the player system.

Let’s open a box first.

There was a flash of light.

[Name: Intermediate Mind Barrier]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Special Effect: Resist all kinds of attacks in the spiritual realm, such as mental shock, mental control, mental pollution, etc. It will last for 3 minutes after being activated. If it is not attacked by the spirit, it will automatically disappear and return 50% of the spiritual consumption. ]

[Consumption: 200 spiritual points]

[Cooling time: 30 seconds]

[Note: Thoughts are a reflection of the world and a miniature world. Even if we cannot reveal the essence of thoughts, we can sharpen consciousness into the greatest tool. Tapping the potential in the mind can enable you to move towards a higher level of life.]

"The skills in the spiritual realm are pretty good, and can be considered to make up for some of the shortcomings in this area."

Zhou Yuan was very satisfied with this skill, secretly complaining in his heart, what were those things that Ms. Raven and Ye Wan had opened before...

We will never let them open the boxes again.

After adding 1 point of disposable attribute to perception, his current attribute panel is:

[Strength: 26
Agility: 24
Constitution: 28
Intelligence: 19
Perception: 29
Charm: 23]

After selling the junk materials obtained from the copy, the total amount of star coins reached 19300.

Then, Zhou Yuan used the item splitting function of his backpack to divide [Satan's Ashes] and [Soup of Breeding] into two portions each, and selected one portion each for sale.

[Star Coins +12500]

[Total Star Coins: 31800]

Star Coins officially broke through the 3 mark.

When he was still some distance away from his destination, he cleaned out his backpack and sold all the unused junk items - he had the storage rings of several extraordinary people, which contained all their belongings.

After a lot of cleaning, I finally earned 5360 star coins from sales.

[Total Star Coins: 37160]

Zhou Yuan browsed the game store, his eyes fixed eagerly on a product.

[Name: Dark Matter: Devouring Shadow]

[Quality: perfect]

[Special effect: Only available to Shadow players. After fusion, the shadow controlled by the Shadow player will gain the ability to devour, and convert the devoured organic matter, elements and other substances into energy that can feed back to itself.]

[Note: This skill is a prerequisite for skills such as "Return to the Ruins", "Black Sun", and "Dark Plane".]

【Note: Shadow devours everything.】

[Price: 30000 Star Coins]

Bought!

Zhou Yuan bought it without hesitation.

[Star Coins - 30000]

[Star Coin Balance: 7160]

Any ability with the "devouring" characteristic, as long as it does not have fatal side effects, belongs to the T1 level. It can give extraordinary people super endurance. At the same time, it has a lethality that cannot be underestimated. The touched part will be digested with just one touch, and anyone who sees it will be terrified.

Unfortunately, [Shadow Devourer] can only convert devoured organic matter, such as extraordinary beings and abnormal creatures, into energy, and cannot allow Zhou Yuan to obtain the extraordinary abilities of the devoured beings.

If it had that kind of ability, [Shadow Devourer] would undoubtedly become the top skill in the T0 tier.

Of course, the price will also rise accordingly, far beyond the reach of 3 star coins.

And most importantly, [Shadow Devouring] is a prerequisite for a series of powerful shadow skills. Only by learning this can you purchase the subsequent skills.

——【Guixu】

From Liezi: Tangwen: "To the east of the Bohai Sea, for an unknown number of millions of miles, there is a huge abyss, which is actually a bottomless valley with no bottom. It is called Guixu. The waters of the eight directions and nine fields, as well as the flow of the Milky Way, all flow into it, without increasing or decreasing."

Legend has it that it is a bottomless valley in the sea, where all the waters converge.

It is also used as a metaphor for the end and destination of all things.

The system's description of it is simple and crude - anything that enters it will meet its end.

——【Black Sun】Releases a huge, pitch-black sun. Anything it touches will be reduced to nothing. At the same time, the Black Sun will set off a terrifying devouring storm, reaping everything, just like the god of death walking in the world.

——【Dark Plane】

This skill is easiest to understand: open up a whole new dimension in your own shadow and become... the master of the world.

Zhou Yuan was excited by all the fancy skills, but the expensive price gave him a headache.

They are often of legendary or mythical quality. I don’t know how long I will have to save up to buy them…

·
When they arrived at the port, it was late at night and everyone was asleep, so Zhou Yuan could hear Jiang Wuming's shrill screams from a distance.

"Kill me! Just give me a quick death! I want to die!" Jiang Wuming screamed.

Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi rushed over and saw Jiang Wuming lying on a stretcher with disheveled hair, parts of his body burnt by electricity, other parts red and swollen, his entire face swollen like a pig's head, needles in his hands, and an IV drip hanging to sustain his life.

"Hold on a bit, Lao Li is still trying to save him, you are trying to tug of war with death!" Bai Xiao tried to comfort him, "You can't die, Lao Jiang, if you die, Lao Li might be finished too."

"Fuck, then you guys better hurry up and call someone, I'm almost dying of pain!" Jiang Wuming wailed.

Because of the curse, as long as he is alive, no one will die nearby, but as soon as he dies, death will befall the person who should have died. So when there are wounded people in the team, even if he is seriously injured, the task force cannot let him die, and they have to keep him alive by any means.

What is scary is not death but pain, and what is even scarier is that you feel so painful that you want to die but cannot.

"Guangxi, you came at the right time, hurry up and save them." Bai Xiao shouted.

Chen Guangxi flashed to the side of the wounded. The injuries on the mobile task force member named Lao Li were much more serious. His chin and left hand were missing, his chest was torn open, and his heart, lungs and other important organs were scratched.

His whole body was covered with scars of varying sizes.

The healing extraordinary people in the team are trying their best to rescue, but the injuries are too serious and beyond their capabilities.

Chen Guangxi frowned and quickly cast a healing spell. A pure white magic circle appeared on the ground, and a warm light lit up. New flesh and blood quickly grew on the wound, wriggling to heal it. After a while, Lao Li's wounds were almost healed.

But the chin and arms did not grow back, but that's not a problem, the medical department has plenty of ways to restore them to their original state.

"This thing..."

Zhou Yuan picked up a transparent scale from the side. It was stained with blood, hard as iron, sharp as a knife, and gave off a fishy smell.

Is this fish scales?

[The wave of extraordinary revival is intensifying. Humans are not the only ones who possess extraordinary abilities. Species in the deep sea have also mutated. This fish scale comes from a mutated flying fish.]

Did the task force have a fight with a school of deep-sea fish?
Zhou Yuan made a reasonable guess.

"It's okay, Old Li is rescued." Bai Xiao breathed a sigh of relief over there.

"Kill me now!" Jiang Wuming screamed in agony, tears streaming down his face from the pain.

boom!
Bai Xiao took out a pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation, causing Jiang Wuming's head to explode and blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

The members of the task force seemed to be used to it and there was no disturbance at all.

"That just fucking hurt me."

A few seconds later, Jiang Wuming's complaining voice came from a blind spot that no one could see, and then he walked out from there. There was no visible injury on his body, and even his clothes were intact.

"You played the resurrection match so quickly this time?" Zhou Yuan was stunned.

"I'm lucky this time." Jiang Wuming shrugged.

The resurrection match is just a joke. He doesn't need to play a resurrection match to be resurrected. Instead, he will be resurrected at a random time within 24 hours after his death. The resurrection location is in a blind spot where there is no living creature.

If you are lucky, you can be resurrected one second after death. If you are unlucky, it may take 1 hours, 23 minutes and 59 seconds to be resurrected.

The longest resurrection time he has ever had is 23 hours and 47 minutes.

There are no blind spots in the vision of living things, and this condition is actually very deceptive. Sometimes it will put him in extremely dangerous places, and he will die just after being resurrected - such as craters, sulfuric acid pools, etc.

Once when he was on a mission in Antarctica, he rested and was resurrected in the ice more than ten meters below. It was so painful that he suffocated to death within ten minutes and died on the spot.

Soon, people from the Control Bureau arrived and transported the wounded away for treatment. The remaining people were exhausted and followed the Control Bureau's convoy back to rest.

Only Jiang Wuming, who had just been resurrected, and a few others were full of energy and had a meal with Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi.

Zhou Yuan did not ask much about the details of the task force's mission. Chen Guangxi had already said it was confidential, so it would be a bit rude to ask further.

Moreover, based on the clues from the fish scale and the Eye of Identification, it is not difficult to guess the task force's mission this time - to clean up the mutated marine life in the sea.

The tide of the extraordinary is rising, and I wonder how many similar anomalies are happening in places that are invisible to the public.

The world is quietly changing dramatically.

·
After dinner, Zhou Yuan returned to his hotel room.

After more than ten minutes, he released Fang Qing and let her pull him into the sea of ​​blood.

"You, you bastard of your entire family! You deserve to die!"

As soon as Zhou Yuan came in, he heard a vicious curse. Du Kanghui's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at him, "You deceived me so badly. I curse your parents to die a miserable death!"

"Thank you, but they are already dead, so I am invincible."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Shut his mouth so he won't bother me."

Fang Qing moved her mind, and blood covered everyone's mouth and nose, making them only able to make humming sounds.

Zhou Yuan then looked at the Palu who were practicing in the distance.

At the auction, he bought training resources suitable for the Electric Mouse and the Snow Banshee. Later, Fang Qing also bought training resources suitable for the Weaver and the Minotaur at the market. Now the four of them are training hard.

The strength of the electric mice and minotaurs has greatly improved compared to before. They were already in the late stage of level 1, and now they are almost reaching the threshold of level 2. They should be able to break through in another half a month to a month.

The Weaver's strength has also improved, but not much. After all, it is level 2, and the improvement is not that obvious.

The Snow Banshee was born in the ice and snow and is the darling of ice and snow. Therefore, she successfully absorbed the elemental substance, Ice, in just a few hours and was successfully promoted to the 2nd level. She is constantly practicing her new abilities.

The succubus was not in the training team - she was filming in the small hut that Fang Qing had built for her.

During this period of time, the succubus's training speed has been far ahead of others, and she is the fastest among all the Paluri. She absorbs essence from a distance by posting pictures and videos online every day. Not only can she eat her fill, but she also has a lot of surplus food for training, and she is not far from level 2.

In addition, she also earned more than 20 federal coins from cereal, and is a rising star in the industry.

Succubus + Internet + remote absorption of essence, it is an invincible combination.

Zhou Yuan has even started to wonder whether he should find a partner for her and make a film with a plot, which would probably have a higher viewership and higher popularity.

Well... establish... a film and television media company!
"How is your training going?" Zhou Yuan asked Fang Qing. This person is the heavyweight and has the strongest combat power.

"It's just barely okay. After all, I'm at level 5. It's very difficult to improve. It's actually hard to advance without a few years." Fang Qing said.

"A few years? That's too long. We must seize the day, dear." Zhou Yuan shook his head.

"It's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist. Not everyone is as good as you. Even for Chen Guangxi, it would take several years or even more than ten years to advance." Fang Qing rolled her eyes.

It is not easy to improve the level of life.
