Chapter 119 Distress Signal
After extraordinary creatures enter the middle level, their life level undergoes a qualitative leap, and their promotion speed will gradually slow down.

The paranormal textbooks issued by the Bureau of Control give relevant data:
Eliminating some of the evil ones and some of the laggards, it would take an average of 4 years to complete the promotion from level 5 to level 5.3.

The average time required to upgrade from level 5 to level 6 is 9.3 years.

It takes an average of 6 years to upgrade from level 7 to level 15.5.

Going forward, it will take even longer to move from the middle level to the high level.

Fang Qing's current strength is entirely due to the fact that she devoured the power of the evil god's embryo and was raised in a super-large Yin Gathering Array for two years. If it weren't for this adventure, and she had only relied on her own cultivation, she might have just recovered her sanity before her death.

She has been practicing hard during this period, but the effect is minimal. Even if she bought extraordinary items that are suitable for her and contain a large amount of Yin energy, it only slightly increased the progress of her practice.

"If you can find me an area with abundant negative energy, my cultivation speed will be much faster." Fang Qing said.

"This kind of place is not easy to find." Zhou Yuan shook his head helplessly.

No matter what kind of energy it is, as long as the concentration exceeds a certain range, it will trigger the alarm of the control bureau's monitoring device, and within 24 hours, that area will be blocked.

"Is there anything suitable in the game store?" Fang Qing asked. Having followed Zhou Yuan for so long, she already knew about the existence of the player system.

“Yes, there are, but they are very expensive.”

Zhou Yuan had done his homework before and listed some props that met the requirements.

[Yin Qi Generator], [Netherworld Cold Pond], [Small Corpse Farm]...

They are all props that can continuously create negative energy, but their prices are all above 2 star coins.

"It's so expensive." Fang Qing sighed, raised her palm and turned it into blood, a little resentful, "They are all level 5, why can Chen Guangxi's hair and nails be sold, but my blood can't be sold?"

"Who knows?" Zhou Yuan Xiaoxiong spread his hands.

"I don't know." Fang Qing replied faintly.

"Hehe...it's so cold."

After making sure that his employees were working hard day and night to improve themselves, Zhou Yuan went back to his room and went to sleep contentedly.

In the next few days, Zhou Yuan continued to follow Chen Guangxi to eat, drink and have fun in Xin Yue.

In order to repay Wang Zhen for saving her daughter, the disfigured woman transferred three million yuan to Wang Zhen's account as a reward, and also gave him some valuable gossip.

——A fairy mist-shrouded island suddenly appeared in a certain area of ​​the East China Sea. The island was full of vitality and warm like spring and summer. It was planted with pink peach trees, and there were ancient buildings, pavilions and towers scattered around, forming a small town.

Someone used a telescope to investigate and was shocked to find two figures wearing ancient Dongzhou costumes playing chess in a pavilion on the top of a mountain.

The initial suspicion is that it is an ancient extraordinary person who survived from the Dharma Ending Age to the present day.

However, after using more sophisticated instruments as well as extraordinary means such as rituals and spells to detect it, it was discovered that it was just a remnant of the past illusion.

Some high-level extraordinary people want to go to the island, but are blocked by some kind of restriction. Only extraordinary people below level 4 can enter. Therefore, all major forces are forming expedition teams to explore the island.

——A star fell in the desert in the west of Dongzhou. An unknown abnormal creature fell from the sky, emitting a terrifyingly high temperature. It vitrified the area within three kilometers of the crash site. Fortunately, it was in the desert and did not cause any loss of life or property.

The abnormal creature disappeared shortly after landing, and the Control Bureau is now searching for it urgently.

——An ancient ghost ship appeared in the European waters. Various extraordinary people fought each other to fight for the extraordinary items on the ship, and more than a dozen people died.

The Wan Gu Gene team managed to grab the treasure, but soon after they took it off the ship, they were attacked and the treasure was stolen.

Afterwards, various organizations began to fight in the port city. The treasure passed through the hands of countless forces, and no one knew who got it in the end. People only heard through grapevines that the treasure was secretly transported to Xinyue.

It is estimated that there will be a bloody storm.

As the resurgence of the supernatural wave intensified, struggles in the supernatural world became more frequent, and the bloodshed was far greater than before.

Everyone understands that a great era is coming, and only by becoming stronger can one gain a foothold in troubled times.

A high-end restaurant.

"Are you okay? You're drunk after drinking only half a cup? Are you raising fish?" Chen Guangxi said to Jiang Wuming with disdain.

Jiang Wuming's skin had turned red all over. He was so drunk that he looked like a dead person, slumped in the chair.

wrong……

Everyone's expression changed. Why did Jiang Wuming stop breathing?
My heart stopped beating.

Zhou Yuan, who was standing next to him, stretched out his finger and placed it under Jiang Wuming's nose to detect his breath, then shook his head:

"he died."

“No way?!” Chen Guangxi’s eyes widened in astonishment. “He died after drinking only half a cup? That’s a mouthful!”

"Don't you see that this thing is for people to drink?" Zhou Yuan was speechless.

Chen Guangxi is a dragon. Ordinary wine is no different from plain water to her. If she wants to drink something stronger, she can only find the Dionysus Association and ask them to brew fine wine with extraordinary powers.

This kind of wine is very strong. If humans drink it, they will simply seek death. Even extraordinary people will pass out if they get close and smell it.

Of course, a Beyonder wouldn’t necessarily die after drinking it, but if that person was Jiang Wuming, then it would be hard to say…

The corpse was sitting right next to them, but everyone continued to eat and drink as usual, not seeming to care at all.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan suddenly felt a heat on the back of his left hand.

His expression changed slightly.

Is this... a distress signal from the members of the Holy Crow Cult?
[An event has been detected, and tasks are being generated...]

[Mission name: "Rapid Rescue"]

[Mission objective: Save all members of the Holy Crow Cult. The mission will be considered failed if one person dies.]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*1000]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*5000]

【Is it accepted? 】

【whether】

"..."

Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment and stood up: "I have something to do suddenly, so I'll leave first."

"Eh?" Chen Guangxi was stunned. "We've just started eating, the main dishes haven't been served yet." "No, you guys eat." Zhou Yuan left in a hurry without looking back.

Somewhere in the other world.

On the street, a modified off-road vehicle was speeding. There were three people in the car, two men and one woman.

There was a machine gun mounted on the roof of the SUV, and one of the men was operating the machine gun, firing wildly at the swarm of rats chasing after them.

Each of the rats was one meter long, with festering sores all over their bodies, their skin and flesh eroded, their bones and even their internal organs exposed, like zombie rats infected by the zombie virus.

Their eyes were bloodshot and they screamed hungrily, rushing towards the off-road vehicle like a tide. A burst of machine gun fire could only slightly stop the tide of rats.

A high school girl with a ponytail took out a rocket launcher, leaned half of her body out of the car, and pulled the trigger towards the back.

Boom! The rocket exploded in the rat tide, and flames burst. The impact force overturned the rats in the front. The rats in the back rushed straight into it, chasing each other in a chain, and soon it was a mess.

The speed of the rat tide was slowed down, but when passing the intersection, another wave of rats suddenly rushed in from the road on the left, densely covering the entire street.

"Fuck, how did these guys know our whereabouts?" The female high school student cursed and swore.

"We've already fled to Dongzhou, but this group of people are still chasing us. That thing is really attractive to them." The man driving gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I've sent out a distress signal, and someone will come to rescue us soon."

"If I remember correctly, the bishop of Xinyue is called... Zhen Wuliang?" The high school girl said as she took out a rocket, loaded it, and fired it towards the back, saying viciously, "That guy once approached me online for a romance and cheated me out of 8000 yuan."

"Is this the fucking time to talk about this?" the man operating the machine gun shouted, "Kill these rats!"

"I'm trying to figure it out, bro!"

The female high school student took out a round metal plate from her storage ring, operated it quickly, and threw it behind her.

"Turn quickly!" she shouted, instructing the driver to drive the car quickly behind the building.

After the metal disc landed on the ground, a cylindrical device popped out. With a buzzing sound, a dangerous red ray shot out from it, sweeping 360 degrees.

Swish!
Trees, grass, and buildings were all cut off, and the cut surfaces turned bright red and emitted high temperatures, which ignited the combustible materials and caused a fire.

As the heat ray swept across, the tide of rats chasing behind were wiped out in an instant, the ground was covered with smelly internal organs and blood, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

However, the squeaking sound was heard again, and right in front of the vehicle, another large wave of chaotic rats rushed over.

"Damn it, it never ends!" the driver yelled, "Hold on tight!"

He's going to run over it!
With a thought, the off-road vehicle was instantly covered with a layer of water blue shell, and water flowed softly, but at this moment, whoosh!
With a sound of breaking through the air, a sharp poisonous needle shot out from the darkness, piercing through the aqua blue shell and the glass of the SUV and piercing the driver's forehead.

The driver reacted extremely quickly. He tilted his head sharply and dodged narrowly. The poison needle pierced directly through the driver's seat and stabbed into the back seat.

Fortunately, there was no one sitting behind him.

"Here they come." The three of them looked solemn.

The rat tide is just to keep them busy, the real enemy has just appeared.

Puff puff puff puff...

The off-road vehicle crushed into the tide of rats with unstoppable force, rushing along, crushing countless rats, and the glass was splattered with foul-smelling blood and fragments of internal organs.

Before long, the front windshield was filled with bloody corpses of rats, and the vehicle lost its vision. The SUV soon crashed into a building on the side of the road with a bang. The front body of the vehicle was severely deformed and thick smoke was coming out.

Several figures appeared around in the blink of an eye, but when I looked closely, there were no three people in the car.

The leader of the pursuers was a skinny young man with gloomy eyes but a gleam in his pupils. This was because his psychic vision had been activated and he could see the dark matter remaining in the air.

He saw three clear dark trails extending into the building. It was obvious that the three people had escaped using Shadow Escape.

But they couldn't run far.

"Young Master, someone else has entered the inner world and is very close to us." A middle-aged man in a white robe reported from behind.

"Are you here to cause trouble? Humph, just kill them." The young master said in a cold tone, no one can stop him!
No matter whether it is Spark Technology or Eternal Genes, even if the Control Bureau comes, don’t try to block his way!

However, at this moment, something strange happened.

There were six people in total, four level 2 and two level 3 extraordinary people, but no one of them could react - in a flash, hard shadow spikes suddenly burst out from their shadows without any warning and pierced through their bodies.

"Who is it?!" The young master was shocked and distressed. Because they were hunting down the people from the Holy Crow Cult, they had actually been on guard against their own shadows the entire time. But now that they clearly saw the other party running away, they all relaxed for a moment.

And it was during this imperceptible gap that someone seized the opportunity and launched an attack on them, which was precise and deadly!

In the shadows in the distance, Zhou Yuan, wearing a shadow killer cloak and changing his title to "Avenger", had a calm look in his eyes.

The special effect of the Shadow Killer Cloak is that attacks launched while in concealed state will definitely be critical hits, while the special effect of the Avenger title is that critical hit damage is doubled. The combination of the two has a kind of powerful beauty.

If you can survive this, you are amazing.

The young master felt his vitality rapidly ebbing away, his limbs became cold, and his internal organs felt as if they were being eaten by ants and he felt severe pain. What was even more desperate was that he could not even muster any strength, and even the desire to survive in his heart was disappearing bit by bit, and he could not bring himself to resist.

Am I going to die like this? The young master's eyes widened in disbelief, he lowered his head, and looked blankly at his pierced heart. The next second, countless shadow spikes burst out from his body.

Puff puff puff puff puff puff!

Six balls of blood mist exploded, and the six people turned into a bloody mass of rotten flesh in the blink of an eye.

"This is just a small part of the pursuers..."

Zhou Yuan sensed that there were many extraordinary people in the inner world, and he felt a headache. What did those three guys do to attract so many people to encircle and suppress them?

Just now, as he was sneaking along, he saw quite a few forces.

Spark Technology, Eternal Genes, the Mechanical Church, Omega, the Holy Temple, the Church of Poseidon, the Witch Association... There are more than twenty organizations of all sizes.

There are even cults such as the Town of Truth - these six people are members of the Town of Truth.

In addition to these six people, the Land of Truth also sent out several small teams, which shows how much importance they attach to this operation.

Under the corpse, a black shadow squirmed, swallowing it up bit by bit, even leaving out the blood. After a moment, the place was empty without a trace, as if nothing had happened at all.

Shadow Eater is very suitable for destroying corpses and covering up traces.

In the darkness, six storage rings appeared in Zhou Yuan's hands.

"The gold belt for murder and arson...I think I can make a lot of money this time."

Zhou Yuan is not a murderer, but if the person he is facing is a cultist from a cult such as the Land of Truth, then he will have no burden in killing him.
